Response to Citizen's Comments
Embry A venue Traffic Concerns.
DATE:
May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
A citizen from Embry A venue requested City Council assistance in addressing a problem of speeding
vehicles on that street. In response Police Department staff have conducted a study in the area and has
prepared a response.
DISCUSSION
According to the complaint there is a consistent problem with speeding vehicles on Embry Ave. In addition
there have been reports of near miss accidents with children playing on the street. Staff has reviewed
similar complaints in the past by running radar in the area. During those previous studies staff concluded
that there was insufficient traffic on Embry Ave. to warrant any action. However, the County Road 31
construction project has resulted in a significant increase in traffic volume using Embry Ave. as an
alternate route. This changed condition has allowed for more precise data with which to evaluate the area.
The traffic study involved three components. The first component was the placement of traffic counters
on Embry Ave. The counters were put into place Thursday, May 7 and were removed on Monday, May
II. This allowed for counts on weekdays and weekends alike. The total number of vehicles traveling on
Embry Ave. between May 7 and May 11 was 2,522. This is an average of 504 vehicles per day. This is
not an exceptionally high volume when viewed abstractly but it is a relatively high number of vehicles for
a residential street of this nature and location. Staff conservatively estimates that normal volume would be
less than one half of that recorded.
The second component of the study was actual monitoring of traffic speed by radar. Radar was set up for
three - on~ hour blocks of time during the morning, mid-day and afternoon. The time, direction and
maximum speed of each vehicle was recorded. Vehicles traveling in excess of the speed limit were
stopped and action was taken in compliance with department policy.
During the three hours a total of 73 vehicles passed through the radar. A total of ten were traveling in
excess of the limit. One driver was issued a ticket. The others were stopped and warned pursuant to
policy. Of the ten drivers stopped, four were identified as residents of the immediate area.
The third component of the study was to research the accident experience in the area. There have been a
total of three accidents at the intersection of Embry Ave and Echo Lane. This is the area at the top of the
hill in Akin Park Estates. Each of these accidents appears to be related to the configuration of the
intersection. As a vehicle approaches the crest of the hill the road curves slightly to the right immediately
prior to the intersection. This "blind" configuration appears to be responsible for the collisions with
vehicles parked in or near the intersection.
Another observation in the area is the !1se of the street by children. During the morning and afternoon
periods, children going to and from school use this hill as their travel route. Staff observed bicycles being
CitlJ of FarminiJ.ton 325 Oale Street · FarminfJton} MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fax (612) 463.2591
pushed three abreast up the middle of the roadway on the hill. Another rider was weaving from curb to
curb in a hairpin or switchback style in an effort to avoid pushing his bike. Both of these groups had
contact with drivers who had to swerve and in one case honk the horn. Both of the vehicles involved were
well under the speed limit. Due to the hill and curved design of the road, had either vehicle been traveling
at or above the limit it would likely have resulted in an accident. All of the children observed were warned
of their unsafe actions.
CONCLUSIONS
Traffic volumes appear to be two to three times the normal expectation in an area of this type. Staff
believes that the increase in volume is due to construction detours. This increased volume is unavoidable
and is likely to continue throughout the County Road 31 project.
Traffic speeds in a residential area such as Embry Ave. would normally average between 23-25 MPH.
When vehicles travel at speeds higher than those normally expected they are frequently perceived by
pedestrians to be speeding. In the case of this particular area there are a significant number (half) of the
vehicles traveling over 26 MPH. While a very limited number were "ticketable", 15 were at or above the
speed limit. Two thirds of the "fast" vehicles and all of the "speeders" were traveling downhill.
There appear to be two categories of drivers using Embry Ave. Those drivers who make a conscious effort
to drive below the posted limit and those who approach the hill at or near the speed limit and unconsciously
allow the speed of the car to increase on the downslope. In addition, children are using the hill
inappropriately, as a recreation area, causing additional hazard.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the results of this study with Mr. Sheldon Johnson, traffic engineer from BRA. As a
result of this study and consultation, staff recommends the following action.
Permanent installation of a Stop Sign at the intersection of Echo Lane on Embry Ave and an
advanced stop sign warning north of the intersection. In addition, staff recommends painting of
the curbs and posting of "No Parking" signs in the same intersection.
Staff also recommends the temporary installation of cautionary signs, northbound, at the crest of
the hill on Embry Ave. with a graphic indicating the steep grade and warning placard indicating
"Slow." The temporary installation during the construction project will provide the opportunity to
measure the effectiveness of the signs. If the signs do prove to be effective, staffwill consider
permanent installation.
Police Department will continue to monitor the area, along with other residential areas similarly
affected, as resources permit. At this time staff has received similar requests from five different
areas experiencing increased traffic volumes and speeds resulting from the County Road 31
project.

SUBJECT: Approve Agreement - Standard
Engineering Guidelines
DATE: May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
At the March 25, 1998 City Council Workshop called to review the proposed Municipal Control
Policy, it was determined that the City should develop and compile a complete list of engineering
design standards in the private development process. It was further determined that these
standards would be reviewed and discussed with the development community once a preliminary
draft document was generated prior to adoption by Council.
DISCUSSION
It was noted that while the City has, over the years, developed a number of engineering standards
it was acknowledged that a review of existing standards should be completed, as well as the
generation of any new standards to be used in the private development process. While many of
the engineering standards used by the City in private development are typical in terms of civil
engineering standards and requirements, it is appropriate to develop a single document that
would guide all engineering work performed within the City.
It was understood that a key element of the dialogue held with developers represented by the
Builders Association of the Twin Cities was the compilation and/or creation of engineering
design standards that would be used in the private development process. It was anticipated that
these design standards would be observed by private developers in the preliminary and final
design of public infrastructure. Once adopted, these standards would serve as a baseline or
standard in the City's engineering review and approval processes.
A proposal from Mr. Glenn Cook, the City's Consulting Engineer with BRA, has been received
that would serve to accomplish this objective with the outcome of creating a unified engineering
design standards document (attached).
In keeping with Council direction, it is staffs intention to meet with the development community
to receive their comments and review the draft document prior to adoption by Council.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total estimated cost of $4,248 for this effort is not currently contained within the 1998
Budget. Consequently, a budget re-appropriation will be submitted to Council at the appropriate
CitlJ of Farminf/,ton 325 Oale Street · FarminlJton, MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fait (612) 463.2591
time in the later part of this calendar year. It is anticipated that a portion of this cost will be
recovered through the sale of document.
ACTION REQUESTED
Acceptance of this agreement by Council authorizes the expenditure of funds to develop an
Engineering Standards document. A separate budget re-appropriation action will be forwarded to
Council in November of this year that will formally amend the 1998 Budget.

Re: Proposal for Professional Services
Engineering Guidelines
Dear John:
We are pleased to present this proposal for professional services to assist the City of
Farmington in establishing an Engineering Guidelines document. The work to produce
this document will include compiling existing standards, generating standards where
none are currently in place, and meeting with City staff to finalize the document. The
end product will be a guide for all engineering performed in the City of Farmington.
Selected Bonestroo staff would work in conjunction with City staff to produce the
Engineering Guidelines document.
The estimated cost for Bonestroo staff participation III producing this document IS
itemized below:
Estimated hours
Rate
Cost
40.0
24.0
$63.00
$72.00
$2,520.00
$1728.00
Total Estimated Cost
$4,248.00
The City would be billed for the actual hours spent and you would be consulted for
authorization before the above estimate would be exceeded. This proposal assumes the
participation of City staff in the preparation and printing of the document.

I would expect that the City would sell the document to developers and to their engineers
to recover a portion of the preparation cost. I would be happy to address any questions or
comments you may have. If this proposal is acceptable, please sign this copy and return
it at your convenience.

to the "Employee Expense" fund.
DISCUSSION
The City's auditors have requested that this change of fund accounting structure be
acknowledged by the City Council as appropriate. The Severance Fund was previously a
fiduciary fund (funds held in trust) to pay for severance benefits owed to departing City staff. The
change to an internal service fund allows the City to better account for all the costs of employee
benefits, current and future.
ACTION REQUIRED
Acknowledge by motion the accounting structure change.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Dave:
In December 1997, The Farmington City Council approved the East Farmington 4"'
Addition consisting of 65 lots along the south side of County Road 72.
Two development related items have to be completed/resolved before the plat can be
recorded with Dakota County.
1. The vacation of the drainage and utility easement along Twelfth Street
needs to be approved by the City Council. Related to this, an Amendment
to the East Farmington Development Contract needs to be done reflecting
the same action.
These items are scheduled for the May 4~ City Council meeting.
2. Previously, the County was requiring that County Road 72 be turned back
to the City prior to the recording of the plat. Since the Final Plat
approval, meetings between the City and County have eliminated this
requirement.
On behalf of Sienna Corporation, please extend our Final Plat approval until July 7
so the Development Contract can be finalized and approved by the City. A draft
copy has already been submitted along with the final engineering plans with the
intent of having that contract approved by the City Council on May lSUa.
Thank you for your assistance.

SUBJECT: Request for Proposals for Recycling
Services for Residential and Commercial
Customers
DATE: May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
The City requested proposals for residential recycling services in 1995. The residential agreement with
Lakeville Sanitary expires on September 30, 1998 and the commercial agreement with Dick's Sanitation
expires March 31, 1999. '
DISCUSSION
After a review of the Request for Proposals it was determined that some changes would make recycling for
residents more convenient and also allow them the opportunity to decrease their solid waste service by
enabling them to recycle more materials at the curb. It is also proposed to combine the residential and
commercial agreements. Dakota County Ordinance 110 requires that recycling services be offered to all
customers.
A new Request for Proposals has been drafted, including the following changes:
I. Adding boxboard and telephone books to the curbside recycling materials.
2. Combining residential and commercial recycling agreements.
3. Adding optional curbside yard waste as an alternative.
4. Adding Christmas tree pickup in January as an alternative.
5. Adding recycling for Mountain Dew Days as an alternative.
BUDGET IMPACT
Requesting proposals for recycling services provides the City with the most cost-effective recycling service.
Recycling costs are passed on to the customers.
ACTION REQUESTED
Direct staff to advertise for Requests for Proposals for Recycling Services for Residential and Commercial
Customers.

Approve Change Order - Municipal Pool
DATE:
May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
During the reconstruction of the pool bath house, the architect and staff identified the need to replace five
additional doors and make some minor changes to facility sewer lines.
DISCUSSION
I
J
The entry doors and frames on the women's, men's and office entries are badly rusting. The consultant
and staff met to discuss the condition of the doors. With all the new doors and changes in the bath house,
the City will have a relatively new facility. The doors will need replacing in the near future so it was
determined that they should be replaced at this time.
In addition to the doors, problems with the sewer lines needed attention. The lines were not exactly
located as on the original building plans indicated, therefore the current work plans needed to be revised.
The added changes required adjustments to the bid.
BUDGET IMPACT
The changes requested will increase the cost of the project by $3,769.02. Funding for the change order
will come from CDBG funds and the Parks Improvement Fund.
ACTION REOUESTED
Council approval of change order #1 of the pool bath house improvements is requested.

INTRODUCTION
Staff seeks Council authorization to accept sealed bids for the sale of the rear packer truck in the Solid
Waste Division.
DISCUSSION
The rear packer truck is no longer in service. Since the City changed solid waste service to the automated
system, the rear packer has been used only for Christmas tree collection. This past winter, staffused a
chipper and dump truck. This method of disposing of the Christmas trees is more cost efficient, therefore
the need for the rear packer truck has diminished.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funds received from the sale of the rear packer truck will be designated to the Solid Waste Fund as
appropriate.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council authorization to advertise and receive bids to dispose of the rear packer truck.

INTRODUCTION
Independent School District 192 is seeking approval of a preliminary plat to locate a 163,747 square foot
middle school building on 23.92 acres ofIand located to the east of208th Street.
DISCUSSION
The entire plat consists of23.92 acres and is subdivided into two lots. Lot 1, Block I consists of8.19 acres
and includes two ballfields and a soccer field and Lot 1, Block 2 consists of 14.29 acres and includes the
proposed middle school building. Right-of-way for 208th Street consists of 1.44 acres. The current zoning
for the site is R-3 and has recently been approved for a conditional use permit to locate a school facility in an
R-3 zone on February 10, 1998.
The new school will serve grades 6 & 7 with the existing middle school housing grades 8 & 9 while the high
school will serve grades 10 through 12. This rearrangement in classes will alleviate space requirement needs
in both the existing middle school and high school.
The School District proposes to house 1,050 students at its maximum capacity in Phase 1 of the proposed
middle school. Upon future expansion of approximately 19,500 square feet, the school will house 1,350
students. Preliminary architectural plans show 24 typical classrooms, 6 science classrooms, 2 art classrooms,
2 home economic labs, 2 technical education labs, 3 music classrooms, 3 gymnasiums, a media center and a
cafeteria along with administration offices.
The Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat on March 24th, contingent on engineering and
planning cQmments. A summarization of the special meeting held on March 17th was presented to the
Planning Commission and is addressed in the attached Planning Commission memo dated March 24, 1998.
The following shows a brief summarization of the meeting comments:
1. The proposed 208th Street roadway will be constructed at 24 feet in width and will meet the 35-mph
speed requirement. When the 56-foot wide roadway is constructed, the school will rebuild it to
MSA standards with a 10-ton road limit and will be assessed 100% for the construction of the 56-
foot wide roadway.
2. A pedestrian crosswalk will be marked on the pavement for pedestrian access to the ballfields.
3. The proposed right-of-way alignment for 208th Street shows curve data and a legal description,
which corresponds, to data provided by the Bonestroo Engineers and has been shown on the plat.
4. The northerly entrance is required to be a one-way, right-in, left-in roadway and will be maintained
privately. When the 56-foot wide roadway is constructed, the northerly entrance is required to
connect with 208th Street at a 900 angle.
5. The Fire Marshall made a recommendation that the existing entrance to the existing middle school
remain in order for fire vehicles to access the existing middle school efficiently and in a timely
Citl}. of Farmint)ton 325 Oak Street · Farmington, MN 55024 · (612) 463-7111 · Fa/( (612) 463-2591
manner. By removing the entrance, it does not violate the Fire Code, but, the School District
assumes any liability for the inability for fire vehicles to promptly arrive at the school site in case of
a fire.
6. Sanitary and storm sewer locations will be further reviewed at the final plat stage.
7. The School's engineers will work with Bonestroo engineers to meet the requirements in utilizing the
infiltration areas.
8. The landscape buffer proposed to be located between the banfields and Riverside Estates will
provide adequate screening for the residences to the west. The ballfields have been located fifty-
three feet from the Riverside Estates' property line allowing for a larger buffer than was previously
proposed. The backstops are located near the residential area rather than towards the wetlands
because of inherent grading problems associated with the site.
9. A 6-foot high fence will be located along the railroad right-of-way to the east of the proposed
school and will begin at the northeast corner of the property and terminate at the southeast corner of
the school property, requiring 1,345 linear feet of fencing.
Any additional requirements presented by City staff in previous meetings are contingent on engineering and
planning approval.

Wetland Ordinance Timeline
DATE:
May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
City staff has revised the Wetland Ordinance in Chapter 9 of the City Code and the attached timeline is a
proposed schedule for seeking approval of the ordinance with an effective date of August 3, 1998.
DISCUSSION
The attached timeline is a schedule for reviewing and finalizing the revised Wetland Ordinance. It has
recently become apparent that the current wetland ordinance does not address various issues concerning
mitigation procedures and buffer areas.
The greatest need for revising the ordinance was the amount of setback required as a buffer between the
wetland edge and a building. In Section 10-9-6 (C) 3, the existing ordinance requires that all buildings,
except accessory buildings shall be setback at least one hundred feet from a wetland. This requirement was
observed as too excessive, considering wetlands vary in environmental value. A more manageable
requirement would categorize wetlands by functionality, value of the ecosystem and whether the wetland
had been altered and would require various setback lengths depending on the type of wetland adjacent to a
development.
As shown on the time line, City staff will meet with developers on May 2151 to discuss the revised ordinance
and any changes or implementations they would like to discuss. The Planning Commission will hold a
public hearing on June 23'd and the City Council will hold a public hearing on July 20th. The effective date
for the ordinance is scheduled for August 3, 1998.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the revised Wetland Ordinance.

SUBJECT: Building Inspection Services
Agreement! Eureka Township
DATE: May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
The City has had an agreement with Eureka Township to provide for Building Inspection
Services since January of 1988. It is recommended that this agreement be terminated.
DISCUSSION
This agreement was originally approved for a period of one year and in accordance with
the agreement, it is automatically renewed for additional one year periods unless notice
of intention to terminate the agreement is provided. Section VI of the agreement states
that: "This agreement may be terminated by either party (the City or the Township) at
any time with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice delivered by mail or
in person."
The concern with continuing this agreement is the fact that one Eureka Township
inspection requires up to one hour of inspector time because of the travel distance
involved. During this same one hour period, staff can complete three City inspections.
This situation becomes compounded when correction notices necessitate return
inspections. Given the projected high level of construction activity in the City, this will
continue to cause delays in the scheduling of City inspections.
The other problems are associated with lack of adequate plan review time or lack of
adequate advance notice for the scheduling of inspections. Because all building permits
require Town Board approval, we sometimes are required to review township building
permit plans before City building permit applications that were submitted earlier so that
the applicant is able to obtain approval at the monthly Town Board meeting.
All of the other townships in the area contract with private building inspectors to provide
this service. We are aware of at least one private inspection company that would be
willing to provide service to Eureka Township.

BUDGET IMPACT
The City received $8,915 in permit revenue from Eureka Township building permits in
1997 compared to total building permit revenue of $460,747. This amounted to 1.9% of
total permit revenues. Building permit revenue is estimated at $554,000 for 1998 and
through April 30th, we have received $4,692 in permit revenue from Eureka Township.
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the notification of the City's intent to terminate the current Building Inspection
Services Agreement with Eureka Township. While the agreement allows for 30 day
notice of termination, I would recommend allowing up to 60 days to allow Eureka to
make alternate arrangements, if necessary.

Staff has begun research and preparation of the feasibility report for the 1998 Downtown Sidewalk
and Lighting project. During this process it has become evident that staff needs further direction
from Council regarding this project. There are many options available with varying price tags in
regard to the trees, sidewalk and street lights.
Considering the importance of this project to Farmington's downtown, staff would like to schedule a
workshop with Council to obtain a general direction for the project. It is suggested that the
downtown business owners be formally invited to the workshop. At the workshop, costs for various
options will be available for comparison purposes.

The attached ordinance reflects revisions to the current weed ordinance that would address the issues

Weed Control Ordinance Review
/'
DATE:
August 18, 1997
INTRODUCTION
In the past several months, there have been several questions raised by residents and staff regarding
the implementation of the City's Weed Ordinance (see attached).
DISCUSSION
The current City Ordinance regarding weeds is summarized as follows: All weeds or growing
iJ grasses on any platted lot in the city which are in excess of one foot (1 ') are declared to be a nuisance
and dangerous to the health, safety and order of the City. The ordinance then goes on to state that
the Administrator is empowered to notify a property owner that the weeds must be removed. If the
weeds are not removed within ten (10) days of the receipt of the letter, then the City has the right to
remove the weeds at the owners expense.
Recently, several questions have been raised in regards to the ordinance and how to interpret it for
various unique situations, as described below.
Slopes - The ordinance does not address weeds that are on a slope. There are slopes in the City that
are too steep to mow safely. The ordinance could be revised to exempt slopes that are too steep to
mow. If the ordinance were to exempt slopes that are too steep to mow, the property owner would
still be required to spray or remove any noxious weeds that are present on that slope.
Ponds - Typically, the vegetation around ponds grows fairly tall. There are two reasons for this.
Number one, there is a safety issue with trying to mow too close to the pond. Secondly, the native
vegetation around the pond provides habitat, erosion control and a "natural" appearance. The
noxious weeds would still have to be removed if the ordinance is changed to exempt ponds which
the curr~nt ordinance restricts. The ponds in questions are typi~ally within planed outlots.
Natural/Wildlife Areas - Natural and Wildlife Areas are typically found in undeveloped private
land or parkland. As these areas are not planed, they are not currently addressed in the ordinance.
Again. any noxious weeds need to be removed from these areas.

SUBJECT: Request MnDot Cooperative Agreement
- Improvements at Willow and T.H. 3.
DATE: May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
At the April 6th, 1998 Council Meeting, Council approved the preliminary plat for the Glenview
Townhomes project. One of the conditions of the approval of that project is that the frontage road
adjacent to the Giles property be improved which would include improvements at the intersection
with Willow Street in front ofWausau Lumber.
DISCUSSION
It is the opinion of City staff and the Developer's engineer that improvements to the frontage road at
the intersection of TH 3 and Willow will benefit MnDOT and the Trunk Highway as well as the
adjacent property owners. Therefore it is proposed that the frontage road project be initiated as a
City project so that the City can request participation in the form of funding for the project from
MnDOT.
The projects that MnDOT is participating in this year have already been selected. Occasionally,
however, there is extra money left over and MnDOT looks for smaller projects to fund. It is with
this possibility in mind that staff is recommending that the Council request a cooperative agreement
for this project at this time.
For the State to consider and ultimately fund the project, a feasibility report will need to be prepared
that would iqentify the project costs and method of financing. Once staff receives an indication from
the State regarding their position on the City's request, staff will come back to Council for
authorization to prepare a feasibility report. It is staff's opinion that the Giles property and Wausau
Lumber would both be benefiting properties under the City's special assessment policy and would
need to participate in the proportionate share of those costs that MnDOT would not fund. In
addition, right-of-way will need to be acquired from Wausau if the project goes forward. Consistent
with Council's stated position that development needs to pay for itself, it would not be recommended
that City funds be expended on this project.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.

SUBJECT: Public Works Issues
DATE: May 18, 1998
INTRODUCTION
At the April 20th, 1998 Council meeting, two issues were forwarded to staff during Roundtable for
follow up.
DISCUSSION
The first issue was in regards to the drainage problem on Hickory Street between 7th and 8th Streets.
The Council requested that staff look into the possibility of installing some type of sump pump in the
low area that could drain the street. Staff has obtained some information that will be available at the
meeting for discussion.
The second issue was in regards to a resident complaint about the drainage in the backyard at 509 8th
Street. Staff responded that there is a possibility that some minor grading of the area to the east of
that address may provide some relief from the water ponding that has been experienced. Staff
continues to monitor the area which is still too wet to grade.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
