Petitions, Requests and Communications - Jack Benedict MUSA Request Community Development Director Dave Olson brought a proposal from Jack Benedict to the Council. Mr. Benedict was requesting a MUSA swap for the 23 acres east of Farmington Middle School on 208th Street. He submitted a plat application (57 townhomes on 12.82 acres owned by O.T. & Helen Nordseth) but withdrew when the School Board condemned this area for a second Middle School site. The swap proposal presented by Mr. Benedict was for future development of approximately 75 buildable acres of the SW 1/4, Section 23. After some discussion and rebuttals from the petitioner, it was the consensus of the Council not to act on this request for these reasons: the City's MUSA application for 714 acres is still in process, and the City cannot commit to swapping MUSA it does not yet have; Mr. Benedict was asking for three times the MUSA acreage that he lost to condemnation; the property would need to be served by a sanitary sewer trunk line; inclusion of the Nordseth property would not be in keeping with an orderly development pattern along the east and west sides of the future new Pilot Knob Road. However, Council did agree to consider a future request for a swap if the condtions are favorable to both the City and developer. 11. Petitions, Requests and Communications - Board of Review Meeting Date The County Assessor's Board of Review date for Farmington has been set for Monday, April 6, 1998 and coincides with II regularly scheduled Council meeting. 12.

Siebenaler Chief of Police SUBJECT: Citizen's Request Snowmobile discussion DATE: January 20, 1998 INTRODUCTION Staffhas received a request from Mr. Robert Cumming of712 Walnut St. to be placed on the City Council Agenda for purposes of discussing /proposing a total ban on snowmobiles in the City of Farmington. Mr. Cumming has been provided with infonnation on snowmobile regulations in the city. DISCUSSION Background During the 1996-97 snowmobile season the City Council addressed the issue of a snowmobile ban. A public discussion was held at a regular meeting of the City Council. Input was received from both sides in the debate. As a result of the meeting City staff met with members of the Farmington Sno Tigers snowmobile club. The issue of alternate routes was discussed at length and routes were identified. The Club did obtain several routes through unpopulated areas. In the Fall of 1997 the snowmobile club again contacted City staff to meet and discuss routes for the 1997-98 snowmobile season. Again, after efforts by the snowmobile club, routes were obtained through unpopulated areas. The Dakota County Snowmobile Organization, Dakota Trails, has published a map identifying those trails. In addition to this action the Farmington Sno- Tigers have published and distributed a tri-fold brochure outlining the Farmington Snowmobile Ordinance as well as the "Ten Commandments of Snowmobilers". The City also publicized infonnation on snowmobiling in the City newsletter and Internet site. It is staffs opinion that the Fannington Sno-Tigers in conjunction with the Dakota Trails Association have made a genuine good faith effort to educate local snowmobilers and minimize disturbances caused by machine noise. Enforcement Actions Due to the unusual weather so far this season the number of opportunities for snowmobiling have been minimal. As a result the level of complaints should not be used for comparison purposes in deciding this issue, however for infonnation purposes there have been 7 complaints so far this season compared to 31 for the 1996-97 season. The seven complaints that have been received so far this season have addressed the issues of noise, hours of operation and trespassing on private property. Several of the complaints have addressed snowmobiles operating within the restrictions of the existing ordinance on county road rights of way and city boulevards. I Citlj of Farmint}.ton 325 Oak Street · FarminlJtonJ MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fa/( (612) 463-2591 It should be noted that whenever possible callers are advised of their rights and possible courses of action to protect their property rights. It is staff understanding that at this time Mr. Cumming is requesting that the City Council address the possibility of a total ban on the operation of snowmobiles in the City of Fannington. Such action would require the operators of snowmobiles to trailer their machines to locations outside the Fannington city limits before starting any ride. This type of ordinance exists in the city of Apple Valley. It was recently discussed in the City of Lakeville and was rejected. In addition to recent publicity of this issue in recent Letters to the Editor, staff has made an effort to notify the interested parties on this issue by publishing the infonnation in the local newspaper. ACTION REOUESTED Council discussion of the request by Mr. Cummings of a snowmobile ban in the City of Fannington. Respectfully submitted, ~~)~ Daniel M.

They are truly almost perfect Nazis. They tend to wear dark uniforms and all weather jack boots along with dark lensed helmets which make it difficult to identify them (after all, a good Nazi is an anonymous Nazi). They tend to travel in packs like little Panzer units and they certainly seem bent on destruction. And of course, when it comes time to be confronted with their crimes of trespass and property destruction they justify ignoring signs and existing laws by proclaiming, "I was just following the other's tracks" . The above analogy may be a bit extreme but it is time to severely limit the use of snowmobiles within the city limits of Farmington. I know that this proposal will pose a hardship of sorts on the responsible users of these vehicles. However the number of users tending to violate both the written regulations and the unwritten laws of common sense and decency are increasing every year. My personal observations are as follows: 1. Snowmobiles are used much too early in the year. Lawns and gardens are ravaged because they offer, when there is little snow, less resistance than the paved surfaces that snowmobilers should stick to traveling in and out of residential areas. 2. After sufficient snowfall, but before the ground is frozen, snowmobilers have consistently come up onto our lawns and damaged small cedar trees, shrubs and other plants with absolutely no regard for the property owner's rights. 3. In dozens of locations, already this year, where the land is posted to ward off snowmobilers the drivers and their machines have ignored these signs and gone where they please. 4. The ten mile an hour speed limit within city limits is constantly violated and the machines are operated at all hours of the night and at noise levels that probably exceed reason. " 1 \ d-.'q/9 tJCLlIv~ !'. z__ Letter to the City of Farmington cont. 5. Often, alcohol is a factor. When I have confronted trespassing, late night snowmobilers in the past many seemed to have been drinking and are subsequently belligerent and hostile. 6. Last year a number of innocent pedestrians were killed by snowmobilers in the metro area and, unfortunately, it is probably only a matter of time before something tragic like that occurs in Farmington. It is grievous enough when someone recklessly loses control of their machine and kills themselves, however, it is down right criminal when they kill innocent pets and people. 7. Many homeowners have reached such levels of disgust with snowmobilers that they have erected great orange and yellow barriers to go . along with their No Snowmobiling signs. It is truly a shame that we must deface and scar our own property in an attempt to prevent these violators from trespassing. I would propose the following: All snowmobiling within the city limits of Farmington would be banned. Snowmobilers would have to trailer their machines to the city limits. There would be two possible exceptions. First, in the event of extreme conditions or emergencies the police department could temporarily lift the ban during which time the machines must be kept on the street. Secondly, the city could consider creating or constructing a very specific snowmobile corridor through the city that would meet with the approval of all along its route. Finally, anyone who owns a snowmobile and keeps it within the city limits would be required to register it with the police and acknowledge these new regulations. Punishment for violations would need to be developed to create real deterrence. I am not in favor of "regulation for regulation's sake". If people are only harming themselves, well, let them. But when people harm others and their property it is time for lawful restraints. Again, I regret the inconvenience that such regulation would impose on responsible users but the time has come to eliminate the access the violators have to our pnvate property. ~ cumnn:g 712 Walnut Street Farmington,~ 55024 ,., /~, 'F <_~ v 1./,- I \...e '( {/ - 6- C /0' ~'1 tUi/711,v y~ t,,"'-. ~ - c; '"',' ; , (', , \'..1 v J _ ,_ o.j. en ~l; iAJ J::,j JJ~~; /~,~ ~.

TO: Mayor & Councilmembers City Administratorftt.- FROM: Robin Roland Finance Director SUBJECT: Request for reduction of certified delinquent municipal services DATE: January 20, 1998 INTRODUCTION On November 17,1997, the City Council adopted a resolution certifying delinquent municipal services charges to the 1998 tax rolls. As part of this resolution, $964.23 ($816.03 delinquent bill, $66.60 interest and $81.60 certification fee) was certified on the property at 513 2nd Street. The property owner is now requesting a reduction of this tax certification. DISCUSSION The property described above was purchased on a contract for deed from Tom Ryan by Jeff Vandenheuval in October of 1995. Mr. Ryan came to the City on January 2, 1998 and notified the Finance Department that Mr. Vandenheuval had not fulfilled his contract and therefore, the house had reverted to Mr. Ryan. Mr. Ryan claimed that the house had been vacant since September, and that municipal services should have been stopped at that time. As this property has a well, the only charges incurred were sewer and refuse charges. Credit for refuse from September 1997 through December 1997 was given. Sewer service continues to be available to the property and continues to be billed. Mr. Ryan further requested that the City reduce the amount that was certified to the 1998 property taxes for delinquent municipal service, and he would only pay a reduced amount. Mr. Ryan said he had been to the County and had received a reduction on the property taxes for the property. He said that if the County could reduce the taxes, the City could reduce its certification amount. Mr. Ryan was advised that the certified amount was for services which were rendered by the City to the former property owner over the period 1996 to 1997. As such, the City was owed those charges and under City code, could certify them to the taxes to recoup the revenues due. Mr. Ryan persisted in his request for reduction, and as the municipal services had been certified by City Council resolution, staff informed him that his request would need to be made to the City Council. Staff consulted with Dakota County regarding Mr. Ryan's property tax reduction. The only change the County made to the property taxes was in changing the status from non-homestead to homestead, resulting in a reduction in the 1997 tax amount due. This type of reduction is routine when the property is reclassified, and is not considered a special tax reduction. Citlj of Farmint}.ton 325 Oak Street. FarminlJtonJ MN 55024 · (612) 463-7111 · Fa/( (612) 463.2591 RECOMMENDA liON As services were rendered to the property over the period in question, in compliance with City requirements, and as those services were not paid for by the homeowner, it is right and proper that the City have recourse in collecting them. Collection in this case is through the Certification/Assessment process as prescribed by City code. The homeowner of record was notified that this certification was going to take place and the City was not notified of any change in ownership until after the certification had taken place. When the City was notified that the property was vacant, appropriate credit for refuse service was given. - Staff recommends no reduction of the amount certified to 1998 taxes for the property at 513 2nd Street. /4Z~ Robin Roland Finance Director cc: Tom Ryan IOc- TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: John F.

DISCUSSION Attached, please find a draft copy of a Council Policy establishing guidelines for citizen participation at public meetings. In contrast to the city of Lakeville's guidelines, the City's draft allows for citizens to direct questions to staff during a meeting providing a more informal meeting atmosphere. In addition, the draft includes the process used by the City in responding to citizen's concerns or complaints.
