DISCUSSION The assessment to which Mrs. Bryant refers was for installation of storm sewer, catch basins and bituminous street/curb and gutter in the Hillview and Terra additions. At the time of its construction, this project affected twenty four parcels in those developments. All but seven of these parcels were undeveloped at the time. The assessments on the undeveloped parcels were included in the price of the lots at the time of the sale of those lots to the new homeowners. Mrs. Bryant and six others owned benefiting properties which had the assessment certified to the tax rolls for a ten year period beginning in 1994. This project included installing street, curb and gutter and storm sewer. In most developments costs of the infrastructure are incurred by the developer and included in the price of the lot. In this situation however, seven properties were already sold and occupied before the subject improvements were installed. Therefore, in the case of these seven property owners, the lot price did not include the infrastructure costs and consequently, those properties are being assessed for the costs over ten years as part of their property tax bill. The reconstruction of CSAH 31 will affect part of this infrastructure as it will many other developments. That is why the reconstruction of improvements are assessed at 35% of cost rather than the 100% assessment of new infrastructure costs. ACTION REQUIRED For Council's information. Respectfully submitted, Jtt!.!4J Finance Director cc: Judy Bryant I Citl}. of FarminiJton 325 Oak Street. Farmin9ton, MN 55024 · (612) 1163-7111 · Fax (612) 463-2591 &b TO: Mayor & Councilm~b,ers City Administrator W FROM: Robin Roland Finance Director SUBJECT: Citizen Comment-CSAH 31 Project DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION At the March 16, 1998 public hearing on the CSAH 31 project, Steve Wilson of 5200 203rd St. inquired about the assessment on his four acre parcel of land south of 195th Street. Dan McCarthy, 5014 203rd St., also inquired on this topic. DISCUSSION In the tentative scenario presented to Council, assessments proposed on undeveloped property south of 1951h Street were $2,314 per acre or $826.27 per household equivalent. As Mr. Wilson has only one house on the four acre parcel, staff would propose assessment at the $826.27 level. However, staff would recommend a stipulation that, should the four acres be subdivided or sold for development, the per acre charge would be applied at the time of the lot split. Such recommendation would be made at the time of the final assessment hearing in late 1999. ACTION REQUIRED For Council's information only.

PUBLIC HEARINGS a) CSAH 31 Project Improvement Hearing Mayor Ristow formally opened the public hearing at 7:04 P.M. Via the use of an overhead projector, City Administrator Erar presented the "CSAH 31 Realignment Project" summary that he prepared and made available to the audience in handout form. Administrator Erar reminded the audience that this project is a County road project, and that the City's participation is strictly financial--45% of the project costs pursuant to the Dakota County Transportation Policy. The need to update County Road 31 was determined by the Dakota County Highway Department and approved by the County Board as a result of significant population growth in the northern area of Farmington affecting traffic patterns and public safety issues. Lee Mann, the City's Director of Public Works and Engineer, presented the City's Feasibility Study for this Project describing the improvements that fall within the city limits of Farmington (from CSAH 50 to the northerly city limits) realigning and reconstructing County State Aid Highway 31. The improvements that are proposed are to address safety and traffic capacity issues that have been identified and are included in the County's documentation on the project. The estimated project cost for Farmington's share of the project is $3,729,990. It is proposed that the City finance the project through a combination of the use of special assessments and the utilization of the City's MSA account. It is proposed that the City utilize approximately $1,400,000 from the MSA account. Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 3 The City's Finance Director, Robin Roland, discussed the funding of the CSAH 31 Project, specifically the Project Budget, Financial Plan and Project Cost Breakdown. In addition, Finance Director Roland discussed the estimated special one-time assessment. For households north of 195th Street, it is estimated that the assessment will be approximately $385 per household (a reduction of almost $20 per household from July 1997). Affected residents have the option of either prepaying the approximate $385 without interest during the first 30 days after formal adoption (a savings of $433) or adding it to their property tax statements with an estimated annual payment (with 6.5% interest) of$54.59 for the life of the bond issue (15 years). For undeveloped land south of I 95th Street, the estimated assessment per acre is $2,314. The assessment will not be adopted until after the completion of the project, estimated in the year 2000 and will be based onfinal project costs. PUBLIC INPUT: . QUESTION: John Devney, 5788 212th Street West: "Am I correct in assuming that the undeveloped property south of 1951h Street will not accrue interest? " ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: This issue is not a decision for Council to make this evening. That will be a question Council will decide at the Special Assessment hearing that will be held at the time of project completion. It is my understanding that interest can be waived during the time the property remains undeveloped. . QUESTION: Steve Rahman, 18515 Exodus Avenue: "How can our kids cross the highway to get to school safely?" ANSWER: City Engineer Lee Mann: Not knowing exactly where this person lives, this question might best be answered after the meeting while reviewing the set of plans. In general, the County will be putting in a traffic signal at Upper I 82nd Street. Other issues that arise can be looked into, such as striping or putting in crosswalks for children to cross to school. County Engineer David Everds: Kids can ride their bikes down the bike trails to cross the road either at 193rd or 195th. There is a center, raised median that helps in terms of only having to worry about crossing half the Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 4 roadway at one time. When warrants are high enough in terms of traffic counts, signals will be put in. Conduits for possible future signals will be installed at 195th. · QUESTION 1 OF 3: Dorothy Flick, Hill-Dee: "I live at Upper 182nd Street. I want to know how the bike trails are going to help me?" ANSWER: City Engineer Lee Mann: There will be bike trails north of 195th Street to the city limits. County Engineer Everds: There is a good chance there will soon be bike trails south of 195th Street when the road is expanded to four lane. · QUESTION 2 OF 3: "How many people on this stage have to pay this special assessment? " ANSWER: (Councilmembers Fitch and Strachan raised their hands.) . QUESTION 3 OF 3: "Since this is a County road why is the County not payingfor the road?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: Dakota County has adopted the County Transportation Policy. That policy establishes the City's financial participation of all County road construction at 45% of project costs. Your County Commissioner adopted that policy. · QUESTION: Paul Peterson, 19398 Euclid Path: "How close to residences is the road allowed to be? Especially four lane section. " ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: I have no idea how many feet. The City has setback requirements and we have to require right-of-way. A person always has the ability to come in the condemnation process if they don't agree with the value. · QUESTION 1 of 5: Sue Courteau, 19143 Estate Avenue: "Why are realtors being told assessments are $500-1,000?" ANSWER: Finance Director Roland: Realtors are not being told $500- 1 ,000. Realtors are being told at this time there is a pending assessment on County Road 31 and that in July that assessment was approximately $400. What realtors do when they do a closing and there is a pending assessment is take the amount they are given by the City and multiply it by Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 5 1 1/2 times. We are required under Section 429 to make those persons aware who are purchasing property in Farmington that there is a potential for assessment in the near future. · QUESTION 2 of 5: "Who will pay for improvement of Flagstaff & 195th?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: Those residents living approximately one-half mile west from Pilot Knob Road will be assessed. The homeowners being assessed for the CSAH 31 Project Improvement will not be assessed for the Flagstaff & 195th Improvement. · QUESTION 3 of 5: "Will the pipeline be moved?" ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: Yes. They will lower the pipeline north of 195th using the estoppel process where they cut off gas and run new line. This is one of the significant costs we have. · QUESTION 4 of 5: "Will there be crosswalks for children to cross 31?" ANSWER: Mayor Ristow: Crosswalks will be added in the appropriate locations like other school crossings and will be monitored with adult patrols during school hours. This can be addressed with the school. · QUESTION 5 of 5: "What will happen to this collected money to make sure it's not spent like previous funds collected and misallocated?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: First, the money will be used to pay the debt service. Assessments that come in over and above that amount will be designated to a special fund already set up and designated for future road repair and construction. Those dollars will not be going back into the general fund. · QUESTION 1 of2: Mark Courteau, 19143 Estate Avenue: "What will we do to protect kids on back of schoolyard?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: If the school district decides to install fencing, we will work that out with them. The entire cost of fence construction would be specially assessed against the benefited property. County Engineer Everds: There is 920' of fence planned all the way along the school on the east side of the road. Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 6 · QUESTION 2 of 2: "Will we have the school zone signs posted near the school? What's the speed limit?" ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: MNDOT is the only one that has the power to set speed limits in the State. The State will take a speed study after the new road is open to determine the speed limit. · QUESTION 1 OF 3: Kevin Mahlstedt, 19347 Eureka Court: "Ifyou can use road and bridge funds for a downtown parking lot, why can't this money be used to help reduce the costs of the special assessment?" ANSWER: Finance Director Roland: The Road and Bridge Fund exists from MSA Funds as the prior year's allocations from the State of Minnesota. We're using $1.4 million worth of MSA funds to make a down payment on the project. The funds were held by the State per our request for the last five years and accumulated in anticipation of this project. Essentially, the funds are from the Road and Bridge Fund. · QUESTION 2 OF 3: "When will the rest of CSAH 31 to the north be completed? " ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: CSAH 31 has many different phases of development that are in the works. · QUESTION 3 OF 3: "Why isn't the Pine Knoll Addition included in special assessments? " ANSWER: Mayor Ristow: Pine Knoll did not meet the 1/2 mile criteria. · QUESTION: Jeff Thelen, 616 Lower Heritage: "Industrial Park - existing 1 OO%?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: Yes. New Construction is assessed at 100% based on acreage owned by the property owner. · QUESTION: Judy Bryant, 5606 Upper 183rd Street West: "Three years ago I was assessed $1,500+ for a storm sewer at Upper 182nd Street West which I am still paying for. Now it will be tore up and replaced and the cost is incurred in the new project which I am also being assessed for. When does it end?" Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 7 ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: Since we don't have the background information regarding this question, the City will need to research this matter and respond. · QUESTION: Al Deaton, 18775 Pilot Knob Road: "How wide of an easement is the County willing to purchase from landowners?" ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: I wouldn't know the particulars. Normally we have certain standards whether 150' or 120' total, but we have to look at the development of this area also as to what's going to happen in the future. · QUESTION: James Young, 19468 Evening Star Way: "It seems a better approx if broken down into say 3 or 4 categories. " ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: Special assessments are not based on the value of the property, they're based on the benefit derived from the project and are equally assessed against the benefiting properties. . QUESTION 1 of 4: Cary Shearer, 19201 Evening Star Way: "Why have grant proposals failed to meet criteria? Maybe new grant writers are needed!" ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: Through the Met Council there are proposals made each year for federal funding for such projects. Criteria includes transit ways, traffic counts, etc. We did try to get funding, but Pilot Knob did not meet the criteria. · QUESTION 2 of 4: "If, as stated in project overview, major city - north/south transportation corridor that may attract business, etc. etc., why are homeowners within 1/2 mile footing the bill? Why not every resident of Farmington? Doesn't this project benefit all?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The decision to improve the road was determined by the Dakota County Highway Department. This project is based on the growth that has occurred and the resulting transportation needs in this area of the community. County Road 31 could have remained as is, if not for the growth north of the City. Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 8 · QUESTION 3 of 4: "Traffic flow during construction?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The City will have designated contact points within the City and County during the construction with one contact phone number to call if problems. The phone number will be publicized in City publications as to where to call. County Engineer Everds: Local traffic will be kept open on paved surfaces. There are two periods where traffic will not be able to get through. Construction is allowed 14 calendar days to take out the curve just north of 190th Street and five calendar days by the 170th Street intersection in Lakeville near the school. · QUESTION 4 of 4: "Have any of these special assessments been set aside for sound barriers or berms?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: No. If there is individual private fencing abutting private property, that fencing would be a separate cost to that property owner. County Engineer Everds: The noise concerns are not addressable and berms are not required as part of the project. There's not enough land to build big berms along the roadway. · QUESTION: Terrence D. McMahon, 18275 Embers Avenue: "Howoften can you do this? For instance, this year you want $400, say next year things grow faster and you need to expand south of 195th. Are we going to get billed again and again, etc.? In my experience, if I can't afford something, I don't buy it. I won't. " ANSWER: Mayor Ristow: No. You're not going to be assessed anything south of 195th. City Administrator Erar: If the road would be expanded in 10 to 15 years, the property south of 195th would be assessed at 35% of the cost of the reconstruction to widen the roadway south of 195th, much like we're doing now. Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 9 · QUESTION: Rob Luckow, 18555 Egret Way: "Has there been any studies done to project how the traffic levels will increase on CSAH 31 once this is finished? (i.e. Vehicles from the south of Farmington due to the straight nature of this road as compared to the other north south routes)." ANSWER: City Engineer Lee Mann: The County has completed a traffic model that includes a forecast for the traffic on CSAH 31. County Engineer Everds: Cedar is to be improved next year from Highway 50 north to Apple Valley and that will also be a four lane divided highway. · QUESTION 1 of 2: Betty Raveling (no address provided): "Explain the stake colors in detail--your numbers mean nothing to homeowners. " ANSWER: I honestly don't know what the colors mean. Call our office and we can get you that information. · QUESTION 2 of 2: "Will we be notified by letter when assessments will be completed so as not to go on tax rate?" ANSWER: As required by law, 30 days prior to the public hearing, the City will send a notice to each homeowner affected by the assessment. The notice will state a time and date of the public hearing. You will have 30 days after the public hearing to pay the special assessment without incurring interest charges. The assessment can be prepaid at anytime with interest up to that point. · QUESTION 1 of 2: John And Kelly Wilhelm, 19025 Epic Court: "This project is going to decrease the value of our home (it's in our backyard). Why are we being assessed?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The issue of a decrease in value to the affected homes is subjective. This project is an improvement. My experience has been that this type of project generally increases the value of property due to improvement factors. Mayor Ristow: If residents object to this assessment they can object to it in writing the night of the upcoming assessment hearing. Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 10 · QUESTION 2 of 2: "When we purchased our home (1 year ago) why didn't the developer have to disclose to buyers of lots the project plans? And where's the recourse?" ANSWER: Mayor Ristow: The City does everything possible to advise developers and homeowners about assessments. City Administrator Erar: County Road 31 has been on the City's books for over 15 years. Prospective homebuyers could go to the City and ask questions regarding their plans to buy or build a home. We cannot offer legal advice regarding recourse. · QUESTION 1 of 2: Jon Tucker, 5442 193rd Street: "In the face of what would appear to be such widespread opposition, how can the Council, in good conscience, push ahead with this project without putting it to a vote of the people? " ANSWER: Councilmember Strachan: There are a lot people that feel assessments are the wrong way to go, and there are a lot of people that feel assessments are the right way to go. Taxes on the whole City would add $800,000 to the life of it, plus it would take away your ability to pay it without interest up-front. A big function of this road is to increase our commercial industrial tax base which will bring taxes down long-term. This is a big picture project. Mayor Ristow: I feel this is a citywide project and the city needs to look at alternative ways to pay. When this project first started, there was $800,000 allotted for MSA funds and now since that time we've increased the cost of the project of $600,000. With our capital improvement funds, how could we have paid out a little more and not done assessments. I don't feel good assessing selective people. County Engineer Everds: We think it's a good project. · QUESTION 2 of 2: "Since there are already homes with children who attend Akin Elementary on the west side of the proposed road, how has the County determined that a signal at 193rd of 195th is not needed at this time?" ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: The traffic signals around the state are not put in entirely for pedestrians. If the City gets the growth and traffic increases, signals will go in right away. But that is not what is Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 11 envisioned at this time. It's possible the school will have patrol officers direct traffic at crossings. · QUESTION: Jannine McLaughlin, 19070 Enchanted Court: "If every resident in the City were assessed, what would the assessment cost be?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: Citywide assessments for this project are not legal and do not follow statutory guidelines. The only other option would be a tax levy, but the cost would be approximately $1 million more over the life of the bond issue. Councilmember Strachan: The State sets the rules by which we have to play. If the citywide assessment were an option, we would certainly look at that. · QUESTION: (No Resident Name GivenINo Participation Form Received) Evening Star Way: "If the assessment is based on 3,000 households in the assessment area, if another 200 homes are built by next year, will it lower the proposed $385 estimate?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The 3,085 count includes homes that will be built between now and the time of final assessments. · QUESTION: Dan McCarthy, 5014 203rd Street West: "1 have 4 acres south of 195th Street. What will my assessment be per acre?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The City will need to research this question and get back to you. · QUESTION: Biz O'Mara, Representative of the Chamber of Commerce (No Participation Form--question directed from audience): "Has there been any consideration given to businesses south of 195th Street (Industrial Park)?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The Special Assessment Policy provides 100% assessments on new construction south of 19Sth. · QUESTION 1 of 2: Jeff Schmicking, 5330 Upper 183rd Street West: "The new roadfrom 195th to 50 is two-lane. Will it be rebuilt tofour-lane?" ANSWER: County Engineer Everds: The roadway is planned with a 40' paved top. We would probably add width to the existing road by adding on either side of the road. Council Minutes (Regular) March 16, 1998 Page 12 · QUESTION 2 of2: "When will the minutes be available?" ANSWER: Mayor Ristow: The minutes will be available from Lori or Karen after they've been approved at the April 6th Council Meeting. · QUESTION: Jeff Thelen, 616 Lower Heritage: "Are these decisions regarding assessments binding onfuture Councils?" ANSWER: City Administrator Erar: The Special Assessment Policy is subject to change as new councils come to be elected. Future Councils cannot go back and rescind past Council's actions. The actions adopted by Council this evening are not subject to change by future Councils. MOTION by Gamer, second by Cordes to close the Public Hearing at 9:12 P.M. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. A recess was taken at 9:13 P.M. and meeting reconvened at 9:22 P.M. a) CSAH 31 Project Improvement Hearing Continued: MOTION by Gamer, second by Fitch to adopt RESOLUTION R26-98 accepting the City's Feasibility Study; authorizing the City's participation, under the requirements set forth in M.S. 429, in the County CSAH 31 Project; and awarding the contracts by Dakota County for the improvement of CSAH 31.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS a) Resolution Accepting Feasibility Study - Charleswood Trunk Storm Sewer City Engineer Lee Mann briefly presented the Feasibility Report for the installation of Trunk Storm Sewer in the Charleswood Development Area, Project 98-15. MOTION by Fitch, second by Gamer to adopt RESOLUTION R27-98 Accepting the Feasibility Report, Ordering the Project, and Authorizing the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Charleswood Area Trunk Storm Sewer. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) Resolution Accepting Feasibility Study - 1998 Seal Coat Project City Engineer Lee Mann provided an overview of the seven-year Seal Coat Project, now in its fifth phase. Mayor Ristow questioned whether we want to include Second Street in the seal coating project since the parking lot project will be under construction at the same time. City Engineer Lee Mann indicated that Second Street may be excluded from the project if necessary. MOTION by Gamer, second by Cordes to approve RESOLUTION R28-98 Receiving the Feasibility Report and Calling for a Public Hearing for the Seal Coat Project to be held in Council Chambers on April 6, 1998. Mayor Ristow designated Councilmember Strachan as the Council Representative but welcomed all Council members to attend the Hearing. NOTE: Councilmember Strachan questioned whether there would be a conflict of interest in this matter since he lives in the project area. The City Attorney indicated there would not be a conflict of interest since Councilmember Strachan would also be paying for the improvement as any other resident would (Councilmember Strachan wanted this reflected in the minutes.) 12. NEW BUSINESS a) 1999 Budget Goals and Objectives City Administrator Erar outlined the budget process and proposed fiscal goals for Staff to use in developing a balanced budget document in 1999.

APPROVEAGENDA MOTION by Gamer, second by Fitch to approve the workshop agenda with the following changes: Move item IV Discuss and Review Conflict of Interest Issues to the third position and move item III to the fourth position. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 3. DISCUSS AND REVIEW CONFLICT OF INTEREST ISSUES City Administrator Erar presented potential conflict of interest issues as outlined in his memo dated 3/25/98. Remedies were identified to resolve potential conflicts regarding the City Engineer. Attorney Jamnik indicated that a potential conflict of interest would exist when an elected official actively owns property and would, in all likelihood, personally benefit from proposed development activity. With respect to the elected official's formal involvement in a policy that would ultimately affect the developer in which the elected official has a personal interest in, it is likely that a potential conflict of interest exists. However, as indicated by the City Attorney, the decision remains with the elected official. 4. REVIEW OF MUNICIPAL CONTROL POLICY City Engineer Lee Mann explained the purpose of the policy is to establish the City's policies and procedures for the construction of public streets and utilities in new developments. It is the City's responsibility to provide and ensure the public health, safety and welfare through the City's infrastructure, including the sanitary sewer system, storm water drainage system, transportation systems and related appurtenances. These facilities require substantial investment of taxpayer dollars and it is important for the City to clarify the City policy toward constructing new public improvements in developments. This policy, if put into place, would ensure consistency and compatibility with existing utility systems, ensure all construction meets City standards, avoid potential insurance liability problems, ensure completion deadlines, ensure as-built plan preparation and Council Workshop March 25, 1998 Page 2 filing and minimize the amount of staff time spent in educating numerous privately- employed design personnel. 5. DISCUSS DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY ISSUES AND CONCERNS Representatives ofBATC (Builders Association of the Twin Cities) were present to express their concerns with a Municipal Control of Infrastructure Policy. They noted that all rapidly growing cities struggle with these same issues and thanked the City Council for the opportunity to take part in the process. They stated that it is easiest to work with a City with tight standards and that the changes made in the past two years have been very positive. The developers feel they are taking the full risk and are willing to take on that liability. They feel the City has full control of the public infrastructure and that the checks and balance of public engineers and the developers' engineers are better than one. The lack of inspections was identified as a problem along with how the City deals with private engineers and bad engineering practices. The developers feel they cannot afford to have a relationship with a bad engineer, and that the City must have a method and the ability to deal with this problem. 6. COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND REVIEW Council asked staff if the City currently has development standards. Administrator Erar told the City Council that staff has standard plates and a development manual. The lack of continual and adequate inspections in the past became the focus of a lengthy discussion. Representatives from BA TC noted policies in other cities whereby the inspections are charged to the developer via the Developers Agreement. 7. CONCLUSION - POLICY DIRECTION It was the consensus of the Council that they not change to Municipal Control of Infrastructure at this time. Council requested staff to continue working with the developers to establish a policy giving the City the ability to establish Development Agreements allowing for the control necessary to produce a quality development. Council assured the audience that quality development is expected and if problems within the process continue, the council will need to address this policy at a later date. A progress report will be presented to the City Council at the second meeting in October or first meeting in November with an update in June or July. City Engineer Lee Mann will be the lead person on these issues. Community Development Director Dave Olson was encouraged to hear the developers desire to work with the City because many times a plat cannot go forward until all engineering issues are resolved and fees are paid.

DISCUSSION Attached are the agreement documents that need to be executed in order for the City to grant the necessary right-of-way, easements and rights-of-entry pertaining to City property for the CSAH 31 project. The majority of the affected properties are along the existing alignment of CSAH 31, the one notable exception being the property the City previously purchased for the Water Reservoir and Central Maintenance Facility site. BUDGET IMPACT It is the County's policy when acquiring right-of-way from a City to reimburse the City for costs that the City incurred to acquire the property. No reimbursement is proposed for properties that the City did not purchase, such as property dedicated for parks, right-of-way or other purposes. . The only parcel the County is proposing compensation for is the parcel of right-of-way required from the land purchased for the Water Reservoir and Central Maintenance Facility site. The County proposes purchasing the needed right-of-way from the City for the City's purchase price. The purchase amount for that property is calculated at $38,763.84.

Attested to the Mayor SEAL City Administrator/Clerk TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrator ~ 11 FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Middle Creek Trunk Sanitary Sewer- Lakeville Participation Update DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION Oversizing the Middle Creek Trunk Sanitary Sewer in order to accommodate future sewage flows from Lakeville was presented as an option in the feasibility report for the project. DISCUSSION As identified in the feasibility report, if the option to oversize the sewer is added to the project at Lakeville's request, all costs associated with that option would need to be financed by Lakeville. The City's consulting engineer is in the process of preparing the plans and specifications for the project. Lakeville is in the process of determining whether to participate in the project and fund the oversizing of the sewer. F or Council's information, attached is the work session memo to Lakeville's Council and a memo to property owners that would be affected regarding the oversizing. The plans for the project will be bid with the oversizing as an alternate. At the time bids are received, Lakeville will have the opportunity to make the final decision to participate in the project. BUDGET IMPACT None. RECOMMENDATION This memo is for information only. Respectfully submitted, ~7f1~ Lee M. Mann, P .E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer I CitlJ of Farmin9ton 325 Oak Street.

V// CITY ENGINEER \ :\lARCH 5,1998 FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: ~IARCH 18, 1998 WORK SESSION TRUNK SAl~lTARY SE\VER OVERSIZING THROUGH FARl'\1INGTON TO SERVE LAKEVILLE'S FARl'\1INGTON OUTLET SANITARY SEWER DISTRICT Attached is Figure 2-2 from our Sanitary Sewer Policy Plan which identifies our sanitary sewer districts. The Farmington Outlet District is comprised of approximately 1,586 acres and sanitary sewer service to this area is proposed to come from the City of Farmington. The Farmington Outlet District is currently zoned agricultural preserve or single family agricultural. In the current Comprehensive Plan update the area is proposed to remain agricultural and lie outside of the 2020 ~ruSA area without sanitary sewer service. In Farmington's May 1996 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, it is estimated that the additional cost to oversize tnink sanitary sewers through Farmington to serve Lakeville at $657,850 (see attachment). Due to the recently approved expansion of the MUSA in Farmington. the Farmington City Council recently approved a $3,010,000 Middle Creek Area Trunk Sanitary Sewer Improvement to extend sanitary sewer through the new expansion area. These trunk sewers would be the sewers that could serve Lakeville if oversized for an additional cost of 5579,000. This is the majority of trunk sewer needed to serve our needs, but future, smaller extensions will be needed to bring sewer from these trunks to our City border. The MCES G'vIerropolitan Council of Environmental Services) has indicated that there is enough capacity in the Farmington interceptor sewer located south ofCSAH 50 on Cedar Avenue to provide capacity to serve the Farmington Outlet. Accordingly, the MCES has indicated to the City of Farmington that there be no additional interceptor service to Lakeville funded by the MCES and that oversizing to serve the Farmington Outlet would be a local issue between the two cities. I have asked Orr-Schelen-~Iayeron & Associates, Inc. to review costs submitted by Farmington. See OS:Yl's arL3ched memo ;'Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan Farmington Outlet". Our cost could range from $367,200 to $487,410 rather than $579,000 as indicated in the report depending outcome of final design, actual bids and significant reduction and indirect costs except for design engineering. Farmington's consultant is now preparing final plans and asking if we want it oversized. Trunk Sanitary Sewer Oversizing March 5, 1998 Page Two I've also asked OSM to take a look at what if Lakeville did our own thing without Farmington and what would be the cost to serve the Fannington Outlet District from the existing interceptor located south ofCSAH 50 and Cedar Avenue as suggested by the MCES. We could then disregard any oversizing through the City of Fannington. See attached memo."Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan Farmington Outlet Alternative". Our cost is estimated at$1,130,OOO'.: i without adding maintenance and electrical costs for the lift station. We look forward to discussing these issues with you at the work session and your direction as to how to respond to Farmington. The sewer, if oversized, would not be used for at least 20 years and would be well into its economic life span. KHN:mjl Attachments c: Robert A. Erickson, City Administrator Michael Sobota, Community and Economic Development Director Tom Angus, Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc. \!arch 24, 1998 Q~:~O:~~ Dear Property Owner: The Metropolitan Council recently approved expansion of the Municipal Urban Service Area (NIUSA) for 824 developable acres in the City of Farmington (see attached exhibits). This means that sanitary sewer is now permitted to accommodate development. Farmington is proceeding to extend a trunk sanitary sewer line northwesterly toward Lakeville which could be oversized to accommodate future sanitary sewer flows from your area. Although your area is not anticipated to be expanded into the MUSA until after the year 2020 a decision needs to be made if the City should proceed with financing the oversizing of the sewer in Farmington today or wait until the time your area is brought into the MUSA and construct an alternative sewer with lift stations and force mains at a higher cost. This issue was discussed with the City Council on March 18, 1998. See my attached memo dated March 5, 1998 for more detail. The City Council would like to hear from you. If the City proceeds with. the cost of oversizing for Farmington it would result with an area charge to you of$365.00 per acre based on Farmington's cost estimate of ovcrsizing at SSi9,000. The sewer would still need to be extended further in the future to bring it to the Lakeville border and future charges would result from this extension. In addition the City could.not" guarantee that your area would come into the MUSA by 2020, as this decision must be approved by the Metropolitan Council. Please take your time in evaluating this letter and we would appreciate your comment:s with a return of the self addressed postcard within the next two weeks. Please call if you have any questions.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public W orkslCity Engineer SUBJECT: Seal Coat Public Hearing DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION At the March 16, 1998 City Council meeting, the Council accepted the feasibility report and scheduled a public hearing for April 6, 1998, on the 1998 Seal Coat project. DISCUSSION The 1998 Seal Coat project is the fifth phase of the 7 -year seal coat program established by the City of Farmington. Streets in Dakota County Estates 9th Addition, Akin Park Estates 2nd through 4th Additions, Nelsen Hills 3rd Addition, Prairie Creek 3rd Addition and Limerock Ridge will all be seal coated for the first time with this year's project. Akin Park 1st Addition and several downtown streets and alleys have not been seal coated in over seven years and are included in this year's project. BUDGET IMPACT The 1998 Seal Coat Project is included in the 1998 Capital Improvement Plan. Several developments in the project area have already been assessed seal coating costs through their respective development contracts. The property owners benefiting from the improvements to the remaining streets would be assessed for the project costs pursuant to Minnesota Statute 429 and the City's Special Assessment Policy. The remainder of the costs would be funded through the Road and Bridge Fund. The total estimated project cost for the 1998 Seal Coat project is $75,700. The Council indicated at the time of the presentation of the feasibility report their intent to assess the benefiting property owners $55 per residential equivalent for the costs of the Seal Coat improvements.

Olson Community Development Director TO: SUBJECT: Petition to Vacate Right-of-Way/ 100 Block of Oak Street DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION The City has received a petition to vacate a portion of Oak Street adjacent to the HRA owned lots west of the railroad tracks and south of Burger King. DISCUSSION Colin Garvey has submitted a petition to vacate a portion of Oak Street adjacent to the HRA owned lots as shown on the attached map. Mr. Garvey has entered into a Letter of Understanding with the HRA that allows him the opportunity to prepare a plan for the development of townhomes on this property. Mr. Garvey has until July 13, 1998 to prepare and obtain approval of his proposal from the HRA. Mr. Garvey is requesting a partial vacation of Oak Street in order to provide additional site area to allow a greater density of townhome units to be developed. He has indicated that he would not plan to utilize more than the north 30' of the 80' right-of-way and does not plan to disturb any of the existing utilities in place in Oak Street and does not object to the City retaining utility easements for the in-place utilities. In 1992 the City Council approved a vacation of the north 20' of the Oak Street right-of- way adjacent to the HRA owned lots when a 45 unit apartment project was proposed for this site. This vacation was contingent on the project proceeding and since it did not, the vacation did not occur. Staff is recommending that the vacation of right-of-way for Oak Street be kept to a minimum. The City has not yet received a proposed site plan for the proposed project, however, Mr. Garvey indicates the north 30 feet of the right-of-way is the maximum amount needed to develop his project. This 30' of right-of-way would be comprised of 22-23 feet of boulevard and sidewalk and 7-8 feet of street being utilized for the project site. This should be the maximum amount of the vacation since this should allow for approximately 26-27 feet of the current 34 feet of actual street width for Oak Street to CitlJ. of FarminfJ.ton 325 Oak Street.

Minnegasco has been serving Minnesota homes and businesses since 1870 when they provided gas to light the streets of Minneapolis. They currently serve 640,000 customers in 220 communities throughout the state. Minnegasco is seeking a non-exclusive Natural Gas Franchise in Farmington in order that they might service the Charleswood Development, which is currently proposed for the area at 19Sth and CSAH 31. Staff met with Arne Hendrickson of Minnegasco on March 3rd to discuss the process necessary to accomplish this Franchise Agreement. Attached with this memo is Mr. Hendrickson's letter of request.

On March 3rd of this month, I met \\'ith city staff and outside council to introduce Minnegasco. specifically, I met with John Erar, Robin Roland and Joel Jarnnik. The purpose of my visit was to let staff know that Minnegasco was interested in pursuing the Charleswood Planned Unit Development in Farmington. Minnegasco presently serves the communities of Lakeville, Apple Valley, Vermillion, Hampton and Empire Township in the surrounding area. During my meeting with city staff, it was requested that I should write a letter to you and introduce Minnegasco to Farmington. Minnegasco has been in business in Minnesota since 1870, we originally started in Minneapolis providing gas service for gas lighting. We presently serve over 640,000 customers in over 220 communities throughout the state. Minnegasco would very much like to pursue a Franchise with the City of Farmington should we be successful in the Charleswood Project. I have included with this letter some additional information on Minnegasco, and I look forward to working with the City on a Franchise. I have also included a routing map for how Minnegasco would reach the Project. Mayor Ristow, I hope this information is sufficient to give you a snapshot of Minnegasco. We are looking forward to the opportunity of providing service to the residents of the new development, if we are successful with the developer.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers City Administrator ~ \0 b FROM: David L. Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: MUSA Boundary Adjustment DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION The City Council has instructed staff to pursue providing MUSA (Metropolitan Urban Service Area) to several parcels of land that have been recently annexed to the City in the area of Co. Rd. 72 and Trunk Highway 3. DISCUSSION The City approved the annexation of three parcels in the second half of 1997 in the above described area. The owners and size of these parcels as well as the order in which they were annexed is as follows: Owner Size Location Sienna Corporation 2 acres NE Comer of East Farm. 4th Giles I Ristow 11 acres Along East Frontage Rd. TH 3 Adelmann / Allen 17 acres Along Co. Rd 72 TOTAL 30 acres Since these annexations occurred after the City had already submitted the application to the Met Council for the 800-acre expansion of MUSA, the determination was made not to amend the application to include these parcels but to seek a trade or swap from existing MUSA. Staff completed a review of all eXIstmg undeveloped land in the current MUSA boundaries and attempted to identify 30 acres of land within current MUSA that did not appear to be land that was going to develop in the near future, if at all. Metropolitan Council staff indicated, early in our discussions, that land proposed to be removed from MUSA had to be comparable in size as well as intensity of land use designation. This means that estimated sewage flows and trip generation, based on land use designation, has to be comparable for the areas to be removed and the areas to be added. I CitlJ. of Farmin(j.ton 325 Oak Street · FarmintJton, MN 5502~. (612) ~63.7111. Fax (612) ~63.2591 Staffhas identified four parcels that could be removed totally or partially from the current MUSA boundaries. They include: Owner Size Location Fischer (Parcel A) 9.4 Acres Located East of TH 3 ISD 192 (Parcel B) 10 Acres Located North of New Proposed Middle School Site Knutson/Hammer Est. (Parcel C) 6.3 Acres Located West of Denmark Ave. County Highway Dept. (Parcel D) 4.9 Acres South half of County Shop Property Located along CSAH 50 TOTAL 30.6 Acres These property owners have been notified of the proposed MUSA Boundary adjustment. Written comments were received by Dakota County and the requested adjustment has been made. It is possible that additional adjustments or fine-tuning of the proposed MUSA boundary adjustments will still be made prior to the formal submittal to the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council staff has completed a preliminary review of the proposed boundary adjustments and have indicated that the areas to be traded or swapped appear to be comparable from a land-use intensity standpoint. It is, however, a local legislative decision of the City Council as to the inclusion or removal of property from MUSA, similar to the decision as to the most appropriate land use plan or zoning designations of property. It should also be noted that these MUSA Boundary adjustments are not permanent and that in the future the City could request that these properties again be included within MUSA. Met Council staff has also pointed out that the Land Use Plan designation for the Middle School property is not consistent with the zoning designation and that the City should make them consistent during its update of the Comprehensive Plan. BUDGET IMPACT The public improvements that will be required, for areas that will develop within the new MUSA boundaries, will be funded by the developer, or possibly in part by the County (Co. Rd. 72 ) and the State (TH 3 Frontage Road). ACTION REOUESTED Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the submittal of an application to the Metropolitan Council requesting the above described MUSA Boundary Adjustment. David L.

Olson Community Development Director City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Dear Mr. Olson: We received your letter of March 26 requesting a change in the MUSA boundary on our Farmington Highway Shop property. Although we do not oppose a change in the MUSA boundary, we do oppose the extent of the change you have recommended. The County recently constructed a salt shed on this property. This shed is just north of the boundary of the proposed alteration of the MUSA line. Additionally, with the rapid growth of this part of the County, there may be further improvements needed in the future. Keeping these future needs in mind, we believe that the portion of the County property being proposed for removal from the MUSA boundary needs to be reduced by 150 feet, thereby removing only the south 635 feet from the MUSA boundary. If in the future, the County plans to develop this property or determines to sell it, we request support from the City of Farmington for inclusion of this property back into the MUSA boundary. . Please present our recommendations to the City Council at their April 6 meeting. If you have any questions on our requirements, please contact me.

Erar, City Administrator SUBJECT: Cable Franchise Agreement DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION As Council is aware, the City of Fannington has entered into a common agreement with the cities of Apple Valley and Rosemount for purposes associated with jointly negotiating a new cable franchise agreement with Marcus Cable. DISCUSSION Over the last several months, I have attended a number of meetings with the Apple Valley Cable Commission to discuss common points of interest affecting our communities. In addition, several key points of concern relative to the City were also reviewed and are identified in the attached document. It should be emphasized that this is a preliminary or starting point for discussions with Marcus Cable on renewal terms. The final product may be somewhat different in terms of final monetary amounts for capital grants and/or contributions into the Public Education Government (PEG) televising plan. The main purpose for disclosing this information to Council at this time is to receive feedback on the direction of City negotiations with Marcus Cable. BUDGET IMPACT Funding from capital grants would be expended for audio-visual purposes relative to the broadcasting of Council and Commission meetings. It is anticipated that a settlement will be reached by late July to mid- August, but will ultimately depend upon final points of agreement. ACTION REOUESTED Council acknowledgement relative to the appropriate nature of preliminary franchise renewal points of interest currently under discussion with Marcus Cable. ohn F.

On March 9, the Committee met with Mr. Creighton, to review his proposal. After making several modifications at the request of Committee members, Mr. Creighton resubmitted his proposal for your review. Mr. Creighton needs base dollar amounts from which to work when requesting money from Marcus in the franchise renewal. Mr. Creighton's proposal is the groundwork for the language in the franchise document relating to public access. The dollar figures in the proposal will be requested from Marcus, but the proposed operations are still in draft fonn. The Cities may choose to modify the use of the Public, Educational, and Public programming (PEG) Fee or the details of the operations in the future. The sections of particular interest are the PEG Fee and Govemment Programming Equipment. Mr. Creighton proposes a PEG Fee of $1.00 per month, per subscriber with an annual inflationary increase of the greater of the CPI or 4%. Each city could increase its PEG Fee by up to $1 over the 15 tenn of the franchise, but by no more than $.15 in a given year. The proposal also includes initial capital funding of $90,000 for Apple Valley, $60,000 for Fannington, and $60,000 for Rosemount for govemment programming equipment. Mr. Creighton proposes additional annual funding of $50,000 for Apple Valley, $12,500 for Fannington, and $12,500 for Rosemount with inflationary factors for inflation and subscriber growth. Under the proposal, Apple Valley is expected to contribute $15,000 and Fannington and Rosemount contribute $5,000 each to purchase public access equipment. If you have any objections or comments to the general concept or the dollar figures proposed which impact the franchise renewal, please contact me by Wednesday, March 18. If no objections are raised, I will contact Mr. Creighton after March 18 and let him continue with the franchise renewal using the figures in his proposal. Please feel free to contact me at 953-2508 with any questions regarding this matter. Attachment 03-10-1995 13:56 6125461003 BERNICK ~ L1F50N 1='.02/06 BERNICK AND LIFSON, P .A.

(C!12) ~1200 FAX (612) S40-IOO3 MEMO~ TO: APPLE V ALLEY CABLE COMMISSION CITIES OF FAR..\fiNGTON AND ROSEMotJNT FROM: TOM CREIGHTON DATE: March 10, 1998 SUBJECT: OPTIONS FOR COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING IN A RENEWED FRANCmSE You have requested discussion points in the development of communi'ty programming options for the City of Apple Valley, taking into consideration opportunities for collaboration "With the cities of Farmington and Rosemount, and including consideration of cooperative efforts with the various school districts serving those cities. BACKGROUND The cable company serving the subject cities has traditionally provided public access programming through a studio commonly referred to as the Lakcville studio. This facility served the cities of Lakeville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, and Farmington. The studio was funded entirely by the cable company 'With occasional equipment grants from the cities. All four cities are in llte precess of renewini their franchises with the cable company. In that process the company proposed that they get out of the community programming busin~s and turn the operation over to the four cities. Although studied, a four-city studio bas been ruled out by some of the cities. Each city ~i11 proceed to grant its o\\'n franchise, and if future opportunities for collaborative community programming efforts arise, they will be dealt with at that time. 1 \ 03-10-19ge 13:~6 6125461003 BERNICK ~ LIFSON P.03,.'06 ' DEFINITIONS F or the purpose of this discussion the following terms shall be understood to mean: 1. Educational programming..(The "E" in PEG) Programminj~ which is produced by, originated from or funded by the school distict. Such programming would include for example school board meetings, educationaVteaching programming, sporting events not produced by another source, stUdent programming, or sch)ol district infonnational programmm.g. 2, Government programming-(The "0" in PEG) Programming which is produced by, originated from or funded by one of the cities, or a group of cities, Such programming would include for example city council meetings, city informational programming, programs produced and ftmded by the city such as municipal events, or po lice and fire programming. 3. Public access or access programming--(The "P" in PEG) Programming which is produced by community members for the purpose of informing from a community perspective or putting forward an individual perspective. This programming is the traditional ''\ideo soap box/free speech forum." The discussion below assumes that the follo'Wing general decisions have been made: 1. The four cities ~ill not jointly fund the community programming facility previously operated by the cable company. 2. Each city will be responsible for its own government programming, but could share resources such as staff and portable equipment. 3. The cities of Apple Valley, Farmington and Rosemount "ill explore ways to share community programming resources. 4. Community programming operational funding should be initially budgeted from a PEG Fee which the cable company will collect from subscn'bers and which will be itemized. on the subscn'ber's bill, a process which is contemplated by the new federal law. PROPOSAL PEG FEE The cable complUlY would initially assess a PEG Fee of $1.00 per m,mth. This fee will increase annually by four per cent (4%) of the CPI whichever is greater, During the term. of the franchise and ocly on an annual basis, any city will be allowed to increase the PEG Fee by a total of one dollar, but in no event more than fifteen cents in any given year. The PEG fee will be paid on a quarterly 2 03-10-1999 13;56 6125461003 BERNICK ~ LIF50N P. 04,~05 basis to each city in which it is collected. The city may only spend the money on PEG programming. Initially, it is estimm:ed that the following monies will be collected in e;ich city on an annual basis: Apple Valley Farmington Rosemount S 130,000 $ 30,000 $ 30,000 GOVERNMENT PROGRA.M:.\fING All three cities need upgraded government programming equipment. Rosemount and Farmington have no equipment installed in city hall. Apple Valley has equipmcut which needs significant enhancement. The cable company would need to provide the follow:ng monies for government capital needs: Apple Vallc)': $90,000 initial capital funding with $50,000 annually (increased annually by any percent increase in subscribers) for equipment repair and replacement, inflated by the CPI each year. Farmington: $60,000 initial capital funding ~ith $12,~OO annu.a11y (increased annually by any percent increase in subscribers) for equipment repair and replacement, inflated by the CPI each year. Roscmount: $60,000 initial capital funding with $12,500 annually (increased annually by any percent increase in subscribers) for equipment repair and replacement inflated by the CPI each year. These funding amounts include $25,000 ($15,000 Apple Valley and $5,000 each from Farmington and Rosemount) for an editina suite/portable camera to be at Apple Valley City Hall for shared government and public access progvrmm;ng use. JOINT OPERATIONAL FUNDING The PEG Fee will total $190,000 It is proposed that the cities keep 1/3 of their PEG Fee for individual city projects and expenses. However, cities may decide to contribute more over time to the joint eifort. Any city may pull out of the joint effort on an annual basis. 3 ......._.-~--4~~O .L.j.;:),. 1512=461003 - BERNICK ~ LIFSON 1='.05/06 Breakdowns of city contributions and retained PEG FEES PEG FEE RETAINED JO:NT EFFORT $43,333 $ 86,666 $10,000 S 20,000 S10,OOO i2~ $63,333 $1:!6,666 APPLE VALLEY $130.000 ROSEMOUNT $ 30,000 FARMINGTON S30.000 $19,000 p~ example of a joint budget of how $127,000 could be allocated: Government programming coordinator Government producers (2) Benefits Expenses. supplies, genc:ral overhead Unallocated contingency.... $35,000 SO,OOO 17.000 10,000 15,000 · *These funds could be used for equipment enhancement, educatior.a1 programming grants, or public access arants or program enhancement. The cities could also detmmine to fund an additional producer or part-time equipment operators for council meetings. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING It is recommended at this time, rl'Je to the many school districts, and CI)mpeting high schools, that the community programming resources not be allocated to educntional programming. As government programming matures, the cities may want to explore cdlaborative effons with the schools. PUBUC ACCESS PROGRAMMING Tne majority of community programming is contemplated to be prodUCed by government programming staff. There may develop public access programmers. TIle cities will have housed at the Apple Valley City Hall portable equipment and editing facilities w:uch will be available to the public. Also each city hall should develop its council chambers so ttlat they will be available as mini-studios for such productions as community meetings, or 'i:alking read" interview productions. There is also money available from franchise fees and the PEG fee fc r public access productions grants if a particular production idea is of interest to the cities. 4 03-10-19ge 13:57 6125461003 BERNICK ~ LIF50N P.06,'06 MOBILE PRODUCTION VAN Missing from the general outline is a mobile production van. The cities will have to develop mobile capability. This can be done with portable equipment, but the desired 1aci1ity is a production van. These however can be very expensive. It would not be unusual to spend over $200,000 for such a van, and that would be very minimal capacity. The cities could create a fund from a combination of franchise fees. annual capital grants, or unaUocated PEG FEE contir:gencies to purchase such a facility, Perhaps joint funding from the schools would also be pursued. If the committee wants this handled up front in the renewal then additional discussion regarding need and cost should be explored. The issue could then be placed on the negotiation table, 5 \0 cL TO: Mayor & Councilm~e':5 City Administrator ~ V FROM: Robin Roland Finance Director SUBJECT: City Tax Rate - Final 1998 DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION The City has received the final Tax Capacity Rates for 1998 from Dakota County. DISCUSSION At the Truth in Taxation hearing on December 3rd, staff presented the City Tax Capacity Rate at 33.5%. This represented a decrease from the 1997 rate of 34.9%. The final rate which was used to issue the Property Tax statements recently received by the residents of Farmington was 33.64%. This difference from the Truth in Taxation rate occurs due to the adjustments made by the county to the Tax Capacity Value between the time of the Truth in Taxation notices and the end of the year. The County's comparison document is attached to this memo and reflects the rates for surrounding communities in Dakota County.

City Administrator~ y Lee Smick, IVf) Planning Coordinator f}J( FROM: SUBJECT: Farmington Middle School 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION Independent School District 192 is seeking approval ofa 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 1 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 24t\ contingent on engineering and planning comments. 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: I. 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 lO-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 Marshal 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 I Citl}. of FarminlJton 325 Oak Street · Farmin9ton, MN 55021, · (612) 1,63-7111 · Fa/( (612) 1,63-2591 8. 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. Sanitary and storm sewer locations will be further reviewed at the final plat stage. The School's engineers will work with Bonestroo engineers to meet the requirements in utilizing the infiltration areas. The landscape buffer proposed to be located between the ballfields 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. 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 comer of the property and terminate at the southeast comer of the school property, requiring 1,345 linear feet offencing.

Farminljtonl MN 550211 · (612) 1163-7111 · Fax (612) 1163-2591 Current Land Use: Agriculture Terrain: Terrain is mostly flat open space with little elevation change. I Additional Comments: Independent School District 192 is seeking approval of a preliminary plat to locate a 163,747 square foot middle school on 23.92 acres ofland. The plat consists of two lots. Lot 1, Block 1 consists of 8.19 acres and will include two ballfields and a soccer field and Lot 1, Block 2 consists of 14.29 acres and will include 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 it's 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. Circulation Vehicular circulation patterns include three entrances to the site. The northern-most entrance at 21 feet in width is proposed to be primarily for school bus and delivery vehicles moving one-way easterly. Delivery vehicles will unload at the receiving area. School buses will unload students at the east end of the building and will continue to the west to unload additional students at the south side of the existing middle school. (See additional Engineering comments concerning the northern-most entrance). The school bus drop-off area at the east end of the building will also function as additional parking for vehicles on weekends or after-school events. Additional striping will need to be shown on the plan for the layout of automobile parking. The remaining two entrances will provide for a student drop-off area at the west side of the building near the administration entrance. Parking for 128 vehicles and 5 handicap spaces will be located in this area. The parking provided on the site meets and exceeds the requirements of the City Code in Section 10-6-8. Site demolition of roadways will include a section of 208th Street approximately 360 feet in length in order to achieve the radius for the new alignment of 208th Street. Another 380 feet of existing roadway to the existing middle school will also be removed to provide the new circulation pattern for school buses to both sites. Sidewalks on the plan are adequate for pedestrian circulation. Sidewalks will be located on the east side of 208th Street when construction of the street commences. The existing bituminous path shown at the southern edge of the site plan is recommended to connect to the proposed east-west sidewalk to the north in the vicinity of the newly proposed bus roadway. The construction of the path will have to commence on the existing middle school site. The connection of the path with the proposed sidewalk will eliminate any possibilities of students using the proposed bus roadway to access the new middle school. Landscape Plan The landscape plan submitted will need to be more thoroughly completed to show varieties and species of materials proposed on the site. Botanical and common names are required along with quantities, locations and sizes of the material to meet the City Code requirements in Section 10-6-14. Overall, most of the plant materials shown at this time are deciduous trees located primarily near the proposed building. The four trees shown in the parking lot will be relocated to the west end of the parking lot and spaced appropriately to provide shade for the parking surface. The traffic islands are be redesigned to allow for better traffic circulation and will not provide the necessary space for the proposed trees on the plan as shown. The nineteen boulevard trees (Maples and Lindens) shown along 208th Street will be installed using the existing trees along the existing 208th Street alignment. The existing trees are typically 2 to 2 1/2 inch in caliper and will be transplanted. It is recommended that the transplanted trees be located on the right-of-way line rather than within the right- of-way to ensure protection of the trees when road construction of 208th Street commences. Removal of existing vegetation on the site will occur along the northern and eastern property lines in order to provide for adequate space for grading requirements. The existing vegetation is mostly scrub trees and is of no apparent quality. However, the removal ofthe existing vegetation along the eastern property line raises safety questions concerning the close proximity to the railroad from the school property. The rail lines reside 220 feet from the school entrance and 140 feet from the school bus drop-off points. After consultation with Police Chief Dan Siebenaler, the Police Department is requiring a six foot high chain link fence to run the entire 1,346 feet along the east property line of the school site. At this time, students attending the existing middle school have been seen crossing the tracks from residential locations to the east. It is in the best interest of public safety that the School District fence the site to their property limits. The City will discuss future extension of the fence along City owned property as soon as possible. It is recommended that the ballfields located near Riverside Estates be relocated forty feet to the east to provide a sixty-five foot buffer between the ballfields and the residential area. It is also recommended that landscape plantings be shown along the western boundary of the site near Riverside Estates to buffer the ballfields from the residences to the west. Berms along with evergreen plantings and shade trees can provide an aesthetically pleasing buffer between the two uses. A tree protection plan for construction has been submitted and will provide the necessary protection of existing trees during construction. Sod will be located adjacent to the proposed building and will consist of Kentucky Bluegrass. Seeding will take place throughout the rest ofthe site including the athletic fields, infiltration areas and drainage basins. Vegetative covering of infiltration areas have been discussed in the attached Bonestroo memo by Erik Peters and further discussions concerning vegetation in these areas should be pursued with the School's landscape architect. The infiltration areas, drainage basins and wetland areas will provide unique opportunities for outdoor classrooms located directly on school grounds. Studies concerning the diversities of plant and animal environments on the site can provide invaluable educational opportunities. Additional Required Information: 1. Revise Preliminary Plat title block to Farmington Middle School - 2nd Addition. 2. Provide surveyor registration number on plat. 3. Dedication of right-of-way to City is required to be shown on the preliminary plat. 4. Indicate type and widths of all existing and proposed public ways, railroad and utility rights of way, parks and other public open spaces on plat. 5. Identify by name and ownership all adjoining unsubdivided and subdivided land on plat. 6. Identify metes and bounds of lot lines on plat. 7. Identify striping for car parking in bus unloading area on site plan. 8. Locate 6 foot high chain link fence along east school property line per Police Department requirement. 9. Locate transplanted boulevard trees on right-of-way line of208th Street on landscape plan. 10. Provide common and botanical names, quantity, size and installation techniques on landscape plan. 11. A Conditional Use Permit will need to be obtained for the extraction and storage of materials within the floodway district to meet City Code 10-10-4 (C) 2. Requested Action: Recommend approval of the Farmington Middle School- 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat contingent on Engineering and Planning comments and forward the preliminary plat to the City Council after resolution of staff comments has been achieved. ~~ ~il l:!.:3 f' ~~ .....~ : i~ "I ! ! i~ j. !~.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public W orkslCity Engineer SUBJECT: Request for City Participation - Footbridge at Westwood Court DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION Back in July of 1997, staff was contacted by Ms. Barbara Truitt-Peterson regarding the construction of a footbridge that would span the ditch between Westwood Court and the High School parking lot. DISCUSSION During initial discussions with Ms. Truitt-Peterson, it was relayed to staff that the residents of Westwood Court and some nearby neighbors were interested in having a footbridge constructed that would span the ditch between the Court and the High School parking lot. The proposal presented by Ms. Truitt-Peterson anticipated a cost of $600 or less to construct this footbridge. The purpose of the bridge would be to provide a dry walking surface for access from the cul-de-sac to the parking lot (see attached proposal). The cost of a bridge was researched and a bridge that would meet codes and structural requirements was estimated to cost in excess of $20,000, just for the bridge itself. At that point, staff suggested an alternative that would consist of building a berm across the ditch, installing culverts to allow the drainage to pass through and paving a trail on top of the berm. Staff was asked at this time if the City would be willing to participate in the costs of the project. Staff at that time offered to engineer the berm and trail as the City's participation. Staff prepared a preliminary plan for the trail and estimated the cost to be approximately $17,000. Installing the trail would include removing the existing concrete flume coming off the cul-de-sac and installing a catch basin at the cul-de-sac with a pipe that would outlet to the ditch (see attached preliminary cost estimate). In March of this year, staff received a letter from Ms. Truitt-Peterson stating that the School District would be willing to pay half the cost of the footbridge and requesting that the City pay the other half of the cost (see attached letter dated March 1, 1998). Staff has reviewed the request and recommends that the City not participate in the cost ofthe footbridge for the following reasons: I Citl}. of FarminiJ.ton 325 Oak Street. FarminiJtonJ MN 550211 · (612) 1163-7111 · Fax (612) 1163-2591 1. The footbridge, if constructed eight-feet wide per the City's standard trail width, could be used as a vehicular access between the cul-de-sac and the school parking lot, which would be unacceptable. Staff has recently received a complaint from a resident on Westwood Court regarding someone who drove from the parking lot to the cul-de-sac through the ditch. Building a footbridge that would materially, if not officially, allow vehicular access would open the City up to liability. If a trail were constructed, it would need to be narrow enough as to prohibit vehicular traffic. 2. Providing an access to the school property from the cul-de-sac could increase the amount of cars that would park in the cul-de-sac. Staff has been contacted in the past with complaints from residents in Westwood Court about cars parking in the cul-de-sac during school hours. No Parking signs have been erected that cover school hours but anyone can park in the cul-de-sac after school hours. 3. The proposed footbridge primarily spans school property and would for the most part benefit the residents of Westwood Court. The proposed footbridge would need to be more narrow than City standard and would be more like a private walkway than a typical City trail. For these reasons staff feels that this project would have more private than public benefit and would not recommend expending public funds on the project. The proposal forwarded to staff does not indicate that the property owners benefiting from the footbridge would participate in the funding of the footbridge. The City's Special Assessment Policy stipulates that properties benefiting from an improvement participate in the costs of the improvement. The City's participation in funding this project could also set a precedent that would encourage future requests for City participation in neighborhood projects that do not provide City-wide public benefit. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City not participate in the costs of the footbridge for the reasons stated above. The residents of Westwood Court and the School District would have the option to formally petition the Council to install the improvements. Under the City's Special Assessment Policy, the cost of the improvements would be assessed 100% to the benefiting properties. It is staffs recommendation that the project go forward as a City project only if 100% of the property owners agree to be assessed for the costs ofthe project. Respectfully submitted, ~rn~ Lee M. Mann, P .E. Director of Public W orkslCity Engineer cc: file Proposal: BUILD A FOOTBRIDGE BETWEEN THE CUL-DE-SAC OF WESTWOOD COURT AND THE HIGH SCHOOL by Barb Truitt-Petersen Reason: Safety Issue and access to the high school and the surrounding area Bridge Design: Time Deadline: Anticipated Cost: Upkeep: Agreement: Must be at least wide enough for wheel chairs and strollers. It has been requested by, at least, one resident that the sides be no more than 3 feet high. Preferably by the middle of October 1997 in time for Halloween. $600 or less. The cost would be shared in the following manner: 1/2 area residents, 1/4 school district, 1/4 city. Still to be worked out. Several residents have agreed to snowblow it, but it might be better to have the school district plow so that it would be done in a timely fashion. Have spoken with each homeowner in Westwood Court. All are in favor of the project providing the cost is not excessive. The attached list shows some of the residents, who are in favor. There are others that I have talked to who are in favor, but they weren't home when I went back with the list for them to sign. I, also, spoke with several residents on Hickory, who are included. ~ 6"'-1~7 909 Westwood Court Farmington, MN 55024 August 12, 1997 To: Mike Schwanke. Director of Buildings and Grounds Superintendent Pat Hanauer and the Farmington School Board The residents of Westwood Court and some of their nearby neighbors would appreciate it if you would give the attached proposal your support. Although my own children have already graduated from Farmington High School. we had numerous occasions when the ditch was less than desirable for crossing in order to get to school. One of my daughters said that one time she sunk in up to her waist and was barely able to crawl out. Imagine her chagrin that the busses happened to be passing at that time. She said that later one of the boys asked her if she crawled to school often. Now" that is sort of humerous, but several of the teenagers that I talked to when I was doing my survey said that they, too, would sometimes have to carry extra clothes to school so that they would have dry clothes to change into. Not only is the ditch used heavilly during the day and night for students and adults to go back and forth to the high school, but many residents use it for biking, running, or walking when they are headed to the park. We realize that it might make our area more accesible for the students who smoke or who chose to be truant from school, but the residents who are around during the day say that this past year it has been much less of a problem than it was in the past. With the continued support of Principal Monica Kittock-Sargent and her staff, we feel that it will continue to be less of a problem. Besides in talking with every single resident in Westwood Court all feel that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I have already spoken with Lee Mann, the City Engineer, to see if there is any way feasible that it could be built for $600 or less. If not, I will need to go back to the residents. He was very supportive and was going to talk to some of his associates, who have already built foot-bridges in their cities. I feel that since the property that the bridge would be built on is owned partly by the city and partly by the district, that asking each of them to pay 1/4 would be an equitable division. I, also, feel that since we the residents would be the ones who would mainly benefit from this that we should, also, share in 1/2 the cost. I was amazed by the overwhelming support that I have felt from everyone that I have spoken with including Lee Mann. If there are any suggestions that any of you have. I would appreciate hearing from you. iJ~_a,~-~ Jjbd-:2D~D 91)9 tJ~d. We, the residents of Westwood court. and other interested parties support the proposal for the intended footbridge between the cul-de-sac of Westwood Court and the high school depending on the final cost. We ask that both the city of Farmington and the school board support us in this proposal.

City Engineer 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Dear Mr. Erar and Mr. Mann: Last week I received a call from Mike Schwanke, Director of Buildings and Grounds, for the Farmington School District. He stated that the school district was willing to pay for one-half of the cost ($16,000) of the proposed path drawn up by the City Engineers between the high school and the cul-de-sac at Westwood Court, provided that the cost of the other half was covered by someone else. Since the reason for the original request by the residents of Westwood Court and the surrounding areas, for having a bridge built stems from a drainage problem that has never been properly addressed since Westwood Court has existed, we are requesting that the City of Farmington pay the other $8,000. Should either of you feel that we should present this proposal in person, either myself or Bob Heman, another resident and a school board member, would be willing to do so. We would, also, be willing to ask some of the 15 home owners who signed the original petition, or others who have expressed their support for a much needed path, to attend with us if either of you think it advisable. Since I will be in Brazil for the month of April with the Rotary International, I would like to take care of this matter before I leave. Thank you. Sincerely, A~~ Ie. :;:~d. jjL.. Barbara A.

Erar, City Administrator SUBJECT: Support for I-35E Bridge Expansion DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION Dakota County cities have been informed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) relative to their plans to reconstruct the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge over the Mississippi River. This bridge, due to the transportation needs of suburban commuters in Dakota County, has generated an enormous amount of municipal interest. DISCUSSION At a recent Dakota County City Managers meeting, discussions concerning the need for Dakota County cities to become involved with any plans MNDOT may have for this bridge is viewed as critical. If continued growth implications in suburban Dakota County cities, as well as the impact of redevelopment in St. Paul are to be appropriately addressed, the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge will need to be widened and improved to accommodate future south metropolitan transportation needs. Discussions to date by MN DOT are of concern as current plans do not appear to adequately address the need for a full-scale improvement to the bridge. The attached resolution identifies the types of improvements advocated by Dakota County and member cities to properly address future transportation needs to the year 2020 and beyond. BUDGET IMPACT Funding for this project would be financed through the State of Minnesota through a variety of sources. ACTION REQUESTED Adopt the attached resolution Supporting the Improvement and Expansion of the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge.

Paul and Mendota Heights. The first open house is scheduled from 2 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7 at the Mendota Heights City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve in Mendota Heights. There will bea brief presentation at 4:30 p.m. The second open house is set from 2 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 16 at the Jewish Community Center, 1375 81. Paul Avenue in 81. Paul with a short presentation at 2 p.m. Representatives from the Transportation Department will be on hand to explain the proposed project and answer any questions. The I-35E Lexington bridge links 81. Paul with the southeastern Twin Cities Metropolitan area. The Minnesota Department of Transportation Metro Division is currently looking at a number of possible alternative plans for reconstructing the existing bridge, which is reaching the end of its useful life. Some of the alternatives were reached after discussions with the community groups and stakeholders involved. Working with the cities, counties, businesses and local citizens, Mn/DOT hopes to begin construction by the year 2001 with completion estimated in the fall of2004. The department also is exploring issues of customers who are not always brought in to the planning and predesign process. ##### RESOLUTION NO. R -98 SUPPORTING THE IMPROVEMENT AND EXPANSION OF THE I-35E LEXINGTON AVENUE BRIDGE WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has determined that the condition of the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge requires that the Bridge be reconstructed beginning in 2002; and WHEREAS, the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge was opened in December 1965 and will be 37 years old by the time of reconstruction in 2002; and WHEREAS, the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge is an integral part of the regional highway system, linking Dakota County with the City of St. Paul and the eastern portions of the Metropolitan Region and the City of St. Paul and the eastern portions of the Region with Dakota County; and WHEREAS, traffic using the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge has grown from 16,700 vehicles per day to 72,000 vehicles per day (331 percent) in the last twenty years and is expected to grow to over 115,000 vehicles per day over the next 20 years; and WHEREAS, in addition to the structural deterioration of the I-35E Bridge, the existing two-lane structure with minimal capacity for merging vehicles and minimal shoulders that provide no room for stalled vehicles does not meet current safety standards and is inadequate to serve even existing traffic demands without reaching unacceptable levels of congestion (Level of Service E or F); and WHEREAS, congestion as the result of inadequate capacity on the 1-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge imposes significant losses to the regional economy and adverse environmental impacts; and WHEREAS, the existing I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge discourages transit use that could reduce single occupant vehicle use in the I-35E corridor and does not provide bikeway or pedestrian access to connect regional parks and trails on either side of the Bridge; and WHEREAS, the existing I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge is inadequate to promote interconnection of transit opportunities that will be provided by the Riverview Transit Corridor proposed by the City of St. Paul and Ramsey County and supported by Dakota County; and WHEREAS, the Transportation System Plan for the MnDOT's Metro Division identifies the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge as in need of improvement and expansion and the I-35E corridor from TH 5 to TH 110 as in need of expansion and improvement before 2020; and WHEREAS, in addition to providing for the physical integrity of the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has identified its concerns with improving the traffic flow on the bridge; and WHEREAS, the reconstruction of the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge to improve both the physical integrity and flow of traffic on the Bridge is consistent with key policy directions in the Metropolitan Council's Transportation Policy Plan, including: ... -~.. . Replacing and improving the existing highway system by removal of bottlenecks and bridge replacement; . Improving the transit system by developing the transitway network; and . Expanding highway capacity, with the TH 5 to TH 110 segment of I-35E identified as an expansion corridor. and; WHEREAS, the expansion and improvement of the I-35E Lexington Avenue Bridge does not contemplate any changes to I-35E north of TH 5, nor will the City of Farmington advocate any such changes as part of the project.

City Administrator SEAL Ov TO: Mayor and Councilmembers City Administrator W FROM: David L. Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: Glenview Townhomes / Preliminary Plat DATE: April 6th, 1998 INTRODUCTION On March 2nd, 1998 the City Council continued action on this preliminary plat to the April 6th Council meeting to allow time for several issues to be resolved. DISCUSSION The Planning Commission recommended approval of this preliminary plat at their February 24th meeting with the following contingencies: 1. The turn-around areas (hammerheads) at the south end of the site should be further studied to allow for a loop connection to improve vehicle circulation and emergency vehicle access in this location. 2. Approval of MUSA on the site by either swappmg or a boundary reconfiguration. 3. Agreement between the City and MnDOT concerning access Issues and necessary changes to the Trunk Highway 3 Frontage Road. 4. Approval by the City Engineering Division concerning the issues contained in their February 20, 1998 memo. 5. Approval by the City Planning Division concerning the landscaping and buffer issues on the site. The following are responses to these issues: 1. The developer has agreed to provide a connection of two streets, resolving the dead end streetlhammerhead issue. This will be done with a 16' private road connection that will be posted for no parking and will be kept clear of snow in the winter. 'I CitlJ. of Farminfj.ton 325 Oak Street · Farmint}ton, MN 55024 · (612) 463-7111 · FaK (612) 463-2591 2. At the April 6th meeting the Council will be considering authorizing the . submittal of a formal application for a MUSA boundary adjustment as recommended by staff. Final Plat approval will still need to be contingent on Metropolitan Council approval of the proposed MUSA boundary adjustment. 3. MnDOT has submitted the attached letter regarding their preference to modifications of the frontage road for Trunk Highway 3. The developer has also submitted the attached letter stating his support for upgrading the frontage road and his willingness to participate in his "proportionate share" of the cost of the improvements. The City Engineer has had preliminary discussions with MnDOT regarding the possibility of a cooperative agreement for this project. They have indicated that agreements go through a competitive process and thus no assurances can be made at this time that this project will be approved for this type of agreement. The other possibility is that the City could consider doing a public improvement project for the upgrading of the frontage road that mayor may not include a cooperative agreement with MnDOT. The project would then involve assessments to the benefiting property owners. Staff believes that the frontage road issue has been somewhat resolved, as all sides agree on what improvements need to be made. Determination as to how the improvements should be funded will require additional time. Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plat. Staff further recommended that the final plat and development agreement approval be contingent on the agreement for funding of the frontage road improvements. 4. The City Engineer has indicated that the remaining engineering issues for this development can be resolved during the preparation of the construction plans for the subdivision. 5. The Developer has prepared an acceptable landscaping and buffering plan for the development. Based on the above described status of these five issues, staff is recommending that the preliminary plat for Glenview Townhomes be approved contingent on final resolution and approval of the MUSA and frontage road issues. BUDGET IMPACT None ACTION REOUESTED ACTION REQUESTED Adopt the attached resolution approving the Preliminary Plat for Glenview Townhomes contingent on the approval of MUSA by the Met Council and frontage road funding issues being resolved.

"Commitment to Excellence" March 31, 1998 Mr. David Olson, Community Development Director Mr. Lee Mann, City Engineer City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Fannington, MN 55024 Re: GJenview Tommome/Commercial Development Dear Sirs: The proposed Glenview TownhomelCommerciaJ Development accesses the existing frontage road on the we~t end ofthe project. Recent discussjons with the City of Fanninf:,rton, MNDOT and myself have identified increased traffic and potential problems witb tbe current frontage road configurations at the adjoining streets. Discussions have explored aJtema*ive rrontage road improvements to address this increase in traffic. The improvement of the frontage road and redesign of the connecting intersections is an integral part of the commercial andla.r industrial sites along this frontage road. The frontage road is also an important link for traffic ciculation for the proposed Glenview To\whome and Wexford Square developments. T support the frontage road improvement project and agree to pay my proportionate share of the cost; however. I feel the cost should be born by all affected and benefiting properties. Further I would encourage the City of Farmington to initiate a cooperative agreement with :MNOOT to provide funding for this project and minimize the local cost share for this project. Additional local funding may need to be explored to assist in the completion of the frontage road improvement. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me at.

C; : i! ~ tJnw ~It;~ 10 J TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrator 1~ FROM: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator SUBJECT: Glenview Townhomes Preliminary Plat DATE: March 2, 1998 INTRODUCTION Glenview Townhomes is located to the south ofWausau Supply Company on the frontage road of Trunk Highway 3 and contains 11.88 acres. DISCUSSION The proposed plat consists of an 89 unit townhome complex on 9.7 acres ofland along with a 2.17 acre commercial area located on the west end of the site. The residential area is R-3 high Density - Residential and proposes a density of 9.17 units/acre which falls below the current requirement of 14 units/acre in an R-3 zone. , ~~~:;r The Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat at the February 24th meeting and approved the plat on the following contingencies: 1. The turn-around areas (hammerheads) at the south end of the site should be furthered studied to allow for a loop connection to improve vehicle circulation in this location. 2. Approval of MUSA on the site by either land swapping or a boundary reconfiguration of the MUSA. 3. An agreement between the City's Engineering Division and r-.O:DOT concerning access issues onto the State owned Trunk Highway 3 frontage road. 4. Approval by the City's Engineering Division concerning review comments dated February 20, 1998. 5. Approval by the City's Planning Division concerning landscape and buffer issues on the site. At the Planning Commission meeting, City staff recommended that the Glenview Townhomes Preliminary Plat be continued to the March 10th Planning Commission meeting in order to resolve the above issues before sending it to the City Council. Two major issues which City staff recommends to be further researched concern the approval of MUSA by the Metropolitan Council to the site and access issues on the frontage road which need to be resolved between the Engineering Division and !vfNDOT. MUSA Approval City staff is working with the Metropolitan Council to secure !'v1USA to the site through either land swapping of compatible land within the City or recontiguring the MUSA boundary in this location. These processes I CitlJ of FarminfJ.ton 325 Oak Street · Farmint}tonl MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fax (612) 463.2591 can be approved at the Metropolitan Council staff level and do not have to be approved through by the full Council. City staff recommended to the Planning Commission that the preliminary plat be delayed to allo\',,' for further discussions with the Metropolitan Council's stafffor redesignation of the MUSA to the site. Since no construction is allowed outside of the MUSA line, City staff concurred that a delay to the preliminary plat process for this project would pose no hardships to the developer. Consistency to this process has been expressed by the developer concerning the allowance of preliminary planing for Charleswood without MUSA secured to this site. As the City Council is aware, this preliminary plat is part of the MUSA Expansion application which was recently submined to the Metropolitan Council for approval and has received initial approval by the subcomminee at the February 17th meeting. Final MUSA approval to this site will hopefully occur on February ~6th at a meeting of the full Metropolitan Council review. Since this project was designated for MUSA expansion in November of 1996, City staff recommended approval of the Charleswood Preliminary Plat - 1st Phase. The Glenview Townhome site has recently been petitioned for annexation into the City on September 15, 1997 and was not proposed to be developed until 20 I O. Therefore, City staff concurs that MUSA should be secured to this site before the preliminary plat is approved. MSDOT Approval The second issue concerns the question of access from the site onto the frontage road owned by the State. t\fNDOT is currently reviewing three access options to the frontage road submined by the City Engineer. These options may all have adverse impacts to the site and must be reviewed thoroughly to detennine which access would be approved by both the City and ~fNDOT. Therefore, City staff continues to recommend that the preliminary plat be delayed in order to resolve the access issues on the frontage road. Additional issues, such as vehicular circulation, landscape and buffering recommendations and compliance with Engineering comments need to be addressed as well. Because of the amount of work which still needs to take place through the review process and by the developer's engineer, City staff is recommending to the City Council that the preliminary plat be continued. ~ The Planning Commission voted 3-2 to approve the preliminary plat contingent on the previously stated contingencies. It should be noted that staff recommended to continue the preliminar:,,. plat due to the contingencies associated with MeSA and outside agency review by M};,DOT. By continuing the preliminary plat, if significant changes were requested by !v1};'DOT, the preliminary plat could be revised without starting the entire public hearing process all over again. Secondly, the City has reached no fonnal agreement with the Metropolitan Council on MeSA, and consequently, this approval is also lacking at this time. ACTION REOUESTED Recommend that this request for Preliminary Plat approval be continued to the April 6th City Council meeting. This should allow adequate time for the above stated issues to be resolved.

Across Trunk H\\')'. 3 are single- family residents. Current Land Use: Undeveloped Open Space Terrain: Topography on the site is quite flat with liule or no elevation change Project Description: Glenview Townhomes is a proposed 89-unit private townhome development located on the east side of the City. The developer is not proposing to phase the development at this time. The commercial area on the west will be either sold and/or developed by Mr. Giles. \.. ,..l ,...,.'lI' '-'i:/ Additional Comments: Glenview Townhomes is proposing an 89-unit pri\'ate dewlopment along with a proposed commercial area on 11.88 acres. The proposed commercial area consists of 2.18 acres and is zoned B-1 and the proposed residential area consists of9.7 acres and is zoned R-3 with a density of9.7 units/acre which falls below the current requirement of 14 units/acre in an R-3. The proposed commercial area is located at the west end of the property along the frontage road of Trunk High\vay 3. Review of the plan by :t-.1NDOT is currently underway and no response has been received by the City concerning the frontage road. The review time for :MNDOT is typically between 45 and 60 days and the plan was submitted to :MNDOT during the week of February 9th. Further research and information gathering needs to be addressed by both the City and MNDOT in order to adequately review the proposed site plan. Townhomes are proposed to be located on the remaining acreage of the property and will consist of multi-level, split entry walkouts and slab on grade. A large portion of the multi-level units \I.'ill be located along the southern border of the property. The split entry units will be located in the north-central portion of the site and along the east side of the proposed commercial area and the slab on grade units will be located at the northeast corner of the site. There will be a total of 55 multi-level units, 22 split entry units and 12 slab on grade units. Private streets are proposed for the development and are measured at 24 feet in width and are required to be constructed with curb and gutter. The primary access to the property is located at the west end and will access the frontage road of Trunk Highway 3. Street connections to the east have been determined with the adjacent developer of Wexford Square and will allow for additional accesses to the Glenvievv' property. The offsite street accesses will connect with Twelfth Street in the Wexford Square development and Twelfth Street will connect with 213th Street to the south of both developments. Turn- around areas (hammerheads) are sho\\TI in two locations on the property to allow for turn- around movements for emergency vehicles. The private streets will be maintained by a homeowners association. Parking for the townhomes consist of a one stall garage and a space in front of the garage. This meets the parking requirements in the City Code for two parking space per townhome. Twenty-seven additional spaces have been sho\\TI throughout the site to meet the needs oh'isitors. The planning staff recommends that the spaces parallel to the street be configured at a 90 degree angle because circulation problems could occur due to the width of the private street. j.",. ~:':::~l Two ponding areas are sho\\TI on the plan and will be addressed in the Engineering review comments. However, the ponds may provide an excellent opportunity for a passive recreational space by utilizing landscape plantings. Two tot lots have been sho\\TI on the site and will be maintained by a homeo\\TIers association. Landscaping on the site needs to be more detailed as to the variety and size of the species proposed, It is recommended that earth berms along with additional plantings be utilized along the northern and southern property boundaries to provide adequate screening of adjacent properties. The property is not designated in the MGSA area at this time, however, staff is working with the Metropolitan Council to use land swapping as a means to secure the MUSA to the site. Since the MUSA is not approved for this property, City staff is recommending that the preliminary plat be delayed to allow for redesignation of the MUSA at this location before the plat is approved and resolve Ivf.\DOT transportation issues. Additional information is required on the preliminary plat in order to comply with submission polices and they include the following: 1. Plat showing metes and bounds of the property and individual lots. 2. A detailed landscape plan showing variety and size of plantings along with a detailed plan for recommended earth berms. 3. Resolution of the frontage road issue with !\f.\DOT. 4. Resolution of the MUSA issue. Requested Action: City staff recommends that the Glenview To\\nhome Preliminary Plat be continued to the March 10, J 998 Planning Commission meeting in order to resolve the aforementioned Issues. .~;,.

Include City project number, approyal signature block, benchmark, lot lines for adjacent properties, and existing contours 200-feet beyond property lines on the plan. 2. Show all proposed contours. The current drawing only shows contours in the areas of the proposed ponds. Proposed contours for the entire site are required. 3. All requirements set forth in the Surface \Vater Management Plan for developments and design will need to be met. 4. The plan shows the ponding for the site being accomplished on-site. The opportunity exists to expand the existing Wausau pond and provide more open space and possibly more parking on this project. 5. Ponding and pipe sizing calculations will be reyiewed when the full submittal is receiyed with the construction plans, 6. Catch basin spacing shall not exceed 400-feet on any road or swale and water shall be picked up before it enters an intersection. Catch basins need to be added at the end of all stub streets to control erosion and protect the road from washouts where applicable. 7. A swale running to the existing pond will not be allowed. 8. Provide information about future streets and grading on the property to the east. ~ 9. An erosion control plan will be required with the next submittal. 10. It should be noted that the City is currently in the process of updating the Standard Detail Plates and the updated plates will need to be incorporated in the construction plans. 11. ~10re infonTIation on the sanitary sewer connection to the interceptor needs to be submitted. The connection as shO\\TI does not appear to be ideal. Respectfully submitted, ~Yh~ Lee M. Mann, P.E.

Dear Mike: The Dakota County Soil and Water CO:1sef\'atio:1 District (District) has reviewed the Preliminary Grading and Erosion Control Plan for the aboYe-me:1tioned site. This project entails 89 multi-family units (16 buildings) and a proposed commercial lot on II.SS acres. The following report summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits additional erosio:1 and sediment control recommendations. We obsef\'ed the following erosion and sediment controls on the plans: 1. Two stornw.:ater ponds. ~i~! We ,have the following comments and recommendations regarding erosion and sedimentation control: 1. Limit construction access to one point and install a rock construction entrance at this location, 2, Minimize disturbance to adjacent properties by installing a perimeter silt fence. 3. Install inlet sediment filters at all catch basLis. 4. Use the stonnwater ponds as temporary sediment basins to hold site runoff during construction. 5. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all stonn sewer outlets, including the swale that flows off-site. 6. Install straw bales, silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs (immediately after curb construction) to minimize runoff from lots during building construction. 7. Include temporary and pennanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan. 8. Include details for all erosion controls on the plan. Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Good implementation, consistent monitoring, and maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site. Please be aware that because the project disturbs more thall 5 acres, the applicant must apply for a MPCA Gelleral Stormwater Permit at least n'.o days prior to illitiatillg construction. Call me if you haYe questions. Sincerely, ~gs Urban Consef\'ationist cc: \1r. Lee \1ann, City of Farmington A~ EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER jl1\"~ /. I' I :~\\~ - _ ~ ---1~{" I .... . ___ ' .\\\. I \.

I J ut TO: Mayor, Counci~m)>ers, City Administrator ti6 y FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Request Authorization - County Road 72 Feasibility Report. DATE: April 6, 1998 INTRODUCTION Dakota County has had discussions with City staff regarding a possible turn back of County Road 72. DISCUSSION Dakota County is interested in turning back County Road 72 to the City of Farmington and Empire Township. County Road 72 is currently paved (rural section, no storm sewer) from Trunk Highway 3 to the easterly limits of the Hospital property. From there easterly, around the curve to the north and easterly through Empire Township, the road is gravel. During discussions with the County, it was indicated that if the City is interested in upgrading County Road 72 within the City limits, the County would participate in the project per their current policy as part of a turnback agreement. The County would participate in 55% of the costs for the road that fronts City property and 100% of the costs for the road that fronts Township property. There are two properties north of the Hospital along County Road 72 that are in the Township. The discussion regarding County Road 72 is timely considering the current and proposed development along the County Road. The gravel section of County Road 72 needs to be upgraded to serve East Farmington's 4th Addition, as well as the Adelmann property to the north when it is developed. It is staff s opinion that the opportunity to upgrade the existing paved portion of County Road 72 and pave the unpaved portion of County Road 72 with the County's financial participation should be considered. The County has indicated that they would participate in the project if the project were part of the turnback agreement with the City. The project would be administered by the City. Project financing would need to include the use of special assessments per the City's Special Assessment Policy. It is recommended that staff be authorized to prepare a feasibility report regarding proposed improvements to County Road 72. BUDGET IMPACT Budget impacts regarding the project would be outlined in the feasibility report.
