SUBJECT:
Stop Sign Request
Echo Lane
DATE:
June 2, 1997
The City Council received a request for the placement of a Stop Sign at Echo Lane at Emerald Trail.
DISCUSSION
Staff spoke with the original complainant on this issue, Mr. Bob Larson. Mr. Larson stated his request was
based on the number of speeders who pass on Echo Lane. After a brief discussion he indicated that most of
the traffic is traveling at or under the speed but that there are several chronic violators. I explained to Mr.
Larson that Stop Signs are not a preferred method of speed control and that this problem would be better
remedied by the added enforcement of speed limits I further explained that there are numerous areas in
the City making such requests and that Police Officers would be in the area whenever they could. Mr.
Larson further described that the peak violations occurred on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Mr. Larson has agreed to contact the Farmington Police Department with descriptions of violators and
when possible, license numbers. With that informa:ion staff can and will contact and warn violators.
RECOMMENDA nON:
Staff is recommending no Stop Signs at this location at this time and that Police monitor traffic in the area
with appropriate enforcement.

removing Item 5b for clarification (Founders Festival Sponsorship). APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
4. Citizen Comments
Henry Iwerks: Reminded audience of school board election on 5/20/97. Rumor has it that the Townships have contributed

Senior Center.
g) Approve School/Conference Request - Fire Department.
h) Approve payment of bills as submitted.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
6. Founders Festival Sponsorship

proposed. The vacation includes Main Street and the alley to the north. Planning Coordinator Smick informed the Council
that she had just received the legal description for the preparation of the vacation process, and it needed to be reviewed.
Therefore, she recommended that the public hearing be continued at the June 2, 1997 regular Council meeting. MOTION
by Gamer, second by Strachan to continue the public hearing for the Main Street vacation on June 2, 1997 at 7:00 PM.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
8. Henderson Area Storm Sewer Project 96-2
City Engineer Lee Mann explained that the project would address drainage and groundwater issues that have been
identified in the 1993 Facilities Plan. Currently this area has no storm sewer, and large areas of overland flow and high
groundwater. The lack of an adequate drainage system contributes to street deterioration and presents safety concerns with
ponding and ice, especially at the low area on Hickory between 7th and 8th Street. The storm sewer would be constructed
between 7th and 10th Street, generally along the alignment of Hickory Street. The estimated total project cost is $397,900.
The City's share of the cost would be $239,200; $91,000 would be assessed; and MnDOT's estimated share, based on the
drainage area of TH 3 benefiting from the improvements, comes to 18% or $67,500 of the total storm sewer cost. Per the
City's assessment policy, 100% of the lateral storm sewer costs would be assessed against the benefiting properties. The
estimated assessment for benefiting residential properties is $1,530 per buildable lot, and $6,570/acre for commercial
property, multi-family property and MnDOT right of way. An appraiser determined that the proposed assessments are
within the value increase. The costs would be assessed over a 10 or 15 year period with the City's share of the cost funded
by the Storm Water Trunk Fund. The public commented:
John Ristow, 913 9th St. - Regarding the ditch with standing water along Hwy 50, will anything be done about this
problem?
Engineer Mann - It is not included in this project, but wiII be addressed in the Ash Street improvement project.
Harold Wieben, 805 9th St. - There is a manhole on the east side of Hickory and 10th Streets. It appears to flow east.
Engineer Mann - We will investigate these observations. MnDOT is involved in the project.
Bob Nerud, J001 Ash St. - WiII the pond by Townsedge shopping center stay a pond?
Mann - Yes.
Joy Eldred, 813 10th St. - Is any funding coming from the storm water utility fee that we pay quarterly?
Finance Director Robin Roland - Yes, it wiII be used to pay the City's portion of the project.
Joy Eldred - There is a holding pond/ditch just east of Henderson. What wiII become of that?
Mann - It wiII be piped in a future phase of the Prairie Waterway.
Bernice Ryan, 816th 8th St. - Why am I included in the project assessment boundaries?
Mann - Your water, as shown on contour maps, drains into the proposed storm sewer.
Linda Tabaka, 905 9th St. - What were the assessment figures again?
Mann - $1,530 over 10 or 15 years depending on Council decision. Ten years at 7 1/2% interest would be $225/yr. and 15
years at 7 1/2 % would be $175/yr.
Bob Nerud - What is a buildable lot? How is it dermed?
Mann - If a lot is large enough to be split, then it would be considered two buildable lots.
Phyllis Kirchner, 814 9th St. - Our run off at the townhomes comes from the shopping center. Is a catch basin proposed for
the area between the townhomes just east of the shopping center? It would be a good place for a catch basin and
would we be charged extra for it?
Mann - A catch basin in this area could certainly be considered and your assessment would not be affected.
Dick Treharne, Dental Health Center, 916 8th St. - If this does not go forward, how much longer will it be before anything
wiII be done? We would like to improve our parking lot.
Henry 1werks, 1105 Sunnyside Dr. - Can assessment fees be negotiated?
Mayor Ristow - You were involved in one last fall. Were you able to negotiate?
Councilmember Gamer - Are we pulling water from TH 3 to the project?
Mann - Yes, and MnDOT will participate in the costs.
Gamer - Why are catch basins on 7th St.?
Mann - They pick up run off from Ash St.
Linda Tabaka - Will the roads be tom up and are the street repair costs part of the assessment?
Mann - Yes. Everything wiII be restored to the original. None of the trunk costs are assessed.
Dwight Tange, 800 8th St. - Our major run off is what comes from the shopping center. Your design won't change things
the way they are now.
John Ristow - Why weren't catch basins at 10th & Hickory assessed when they were installed?
Administrator Erar - We have no information as to why. Perhaps it was a part of the Waterway project; most staff involved
with that project is not here. We are adhering to current policy, however. Perhaps the cost was so minimal that it
was not worth the expense.
Harold Wieben - Put a catch basin at 10th & Hickory and go east and the problem is solved.
Audrey Regenschied, 900 9th St. - Could a catch basin be added near the shopping center to collect water from the
shopping center?
Mann - Yes. The lowest point will be researched and whatever makes the most sense wiII be incorporated.
Tange - Aren't there any other routes/options?
Mann - This is the most economical and feasible plan.
Councilmember Cordes - I have some concerns about certain lots as to whether they drain into this project area.
Mann - Contour maps show it flows south.
MOTION by Strachan, second by Fitch to continue the public hearing at the June 2nd Council meeting because of a
typographical error. Corrected notices will be sent out in accordance with State Statutes. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
Mayor Ristow - Would like to see a formal evaluation because the cost is too high. It could be picked up with other
improvement projects in the area. This will not benefit anything east ofTH 3.
Counci/member Gamer - agrees that it does not need to be corrected all the way to 10th St.
Counci/member Fitch - Do the citizens have a problem with the project? We should follow the policy when projects are
initiated. This is consistent with policy.
Wieben - the problem is between 7th & 8th Streets, not in the Henderson area.
Joy Eldred - Henderson's water is not a problem any longer. It has been alleviated in the past couple years since the
Waterway was installed.
Mann - MnDot wiII not allow us to put run off in their ditch.
Attorney Grannis - If this is not to go forward, you can stop it tonight or continue to June 2 and then make a decision.
Wait till June 2nd to make a decision either way, thereby giving staff and Council more time to investigate.
MOTION by Gamer, second by Fitch to set a public hearing on the Henderson Storm Sewer project with correction and
clarifying information contained in the notice to insure that the statutory requirements ofMN Statute 429 are met. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED. Both public hearings wiII run concurrently.
9. Public Hearing - East Farmington Third Addition Preliminary & Final Plat
Planning Coordinator Lee Smick gave an overview of the Plat. It is located to the north and west of East Farmington first
Addition. The 36 acres wiII allow for 80 single-family lots ranging in size from 6,000 to 8,000 sq. ft. The plat follows the
typical block and lot layouts found in East Farmington First and Second Additions. Traffic flow is addressed in the
Developer's Agreement. The following comments were made:
Kevin Schonhardt, 1013 Walnut St. - Asked when more stop signs could be installed. Traffic flow has worsened with the
stop sign that was added. SLOW-CONSTRUCTION signs have not been installed.
Kevin Hand, 509 10th St. - Had some concerns about the architectural diversity and involvement of the residents.
Nancy Porter, 509 10th St. - Would like slower traffic and crosswalks painted
Developer Rod Hardy - The Developer retains the responsibility of handling these requests. Park equipment has been
ordered, driveways are being monitored to meet the standards. Stop signs wiII be installed in key locations. He
would like to meet with those interested in forming the Homeowners Association.
MOTION by Gamer, second by Cordes to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Gamer,
second by Fitch to adopt RESOLUTION J59-97 approving East Farmington Third Addition Preliminary and Final Plat
contingent upon approval the Engineering Department and subject to the execution a developer's agreement. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
10. Award of Contract - Larch Street Improvement 97-6
City Engineer Lee Mann stated that the installation of the Larch Street Access Improvements is part of the developer's
agreement between the City and Sienna Corporation for the East Farmington Development. Five bids were received and
Ryan Contracting, Inc. submitted the low bid in the amount of$133,849.05. The total estimated cost of the project based on
the low bid is $240,000. The City wiII be assessing 100% of the cost of the east frontage road and 50% of the median road
improvements against the plat. The assessed amount wiII be bonded over a ten year period and the City's portion wiII be
funded through the Road and Bridge fund. MOTION by Gamer, second by Strachan to adopt RESOLUTION R60-97,
accepting the bids and awarding the contract to Ryan Contracting, Inc. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
11. Elm Street Extension Feasibility Study, Project 97-15
City Engineer Lee Mann presented the feasibility report for the construction of an extension of Elm Street just east of TH 3
and north of 9th Street. These street and utility improvements are necessary for the expansion of South Suburban Medical
Center. The medical center would pay for all costs associated with the street and utility improvements and would waive
their right to a public hearing regarding the assessment of costs for the project. The estimated total project cost is $308,600,
not including the easement costs that may be incurred, which would be the responsibility of the medical center. Bryan
Ordorff stated his concerns with the plan which now created traffic in his back yard, as well as his front yard. Engineer
Mann wiII look into the possibility of creating a berm or landscape screening on 9th Street. MOTION by Cordes, second
by Gamer to adopt RESOLUTION R61-97 accepting the feasibility study and ordering the Elm Street Extension Project
97-15. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
12. Akin Park Second Addition Storm Sewer Improvement
City Engineer Lee Mann introduced the ongoing storm sewer issue in Akin Park Second Addition, specifically with the
pond that lies on the northern boundary of the elementary school property and the residents that live along 193rd Street.
Two storm sewer outlets discharge into swales midway between the homes and the pond. The swales have eroded and have
become unsightly and difficult to maintain. The developer has agreed to regrade the swales to drain, sod the swales and
remove the silt from the pond that has built up from erosion. A deadline of May 29, 1997 has been set. If the developer
does not meet this deadline, the City will hire a contractor to perform this improvement and charge the developer. This
restorative work would likely erode again unless a more permanent solution is undertaken. The existing pipes could be
extended 50-60 feet and the swale rip-rapped for erosion control for an approximate cost of$14,700. Three options for
funding were considered: 1) Residents could submit a signed petition requesting the improvement stating that they would
pay for 100% of the costs and waive their rights to a public hearing and appeal. 2)Council could assess 35% of the cost
which would be $5,510 and the City would pick up the balance of$9,550. This would require the full process set forth by
MN Statute 429.3) Council could pay for 100% of the cost using the Storm Water Trunk Fund. MOTION by Gamer,
second by Strachan to have the City pay for 100% of the cost of improvements and adopt RESOLUTION R62-97
ordering the project. VOTING FOR: Ristow, Gamer, Cordes, Strachan. VOTING AGAINST: Fitch.
13. Akin Park Second Addition Bike Path Repair
According to a memo outlined by Parks and Recreation Director Jim Bell, the bike path on 193rd Street, between 5410
residence and the new CR 31 alignment, is in need of repair due to home construction since the installation of the path.
Improper installation could not be proven. The repairs include patching damaged portions, cutting out along driveways for
a better transition, matting the entire length to remove as many low areas as possible and restoring adjacent property to
original condition after the matting process. The funding of $4,880 will come from the Park Improvement Fund. Staff is
reviewing policy with the PARAC to determine a solution to future problems of this nature. MOTION by Gamer, second
by Fitch, directing staff to proceed with the repair of the trail after obtaining the necessary quotations. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
14. Train Whistle Ban
Administrator Erar provided the Council with his fmdings of the legal and public safety issues concerning a train whistle
ban during the early morning hours of3:00 AM - 6:00 A.\1. CounciImember Gamer stated that the problem has lessened
recently. Administrator Erar will contact Congressman Luther for assistance in this matter.
15. CityfIownship Recreational Programming Issues - Puppet Wagon
Parks and Recreation Director Bell informed the Council that the PARAC approved a policy and fee for puppet wagon
requests in neighboring townships. Terry Holmes of the Empire Town Board was contacted and agreed with the policy.
MOTION by Gamer, second by Strachan to accept RESOLUTION R63-97 amending Resolution R8-97 (1997 Fees and
Charges) by setting a fee of$IOO for each puppet performance conducted in townships. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
16. Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption on Signal at TH 3 and Ash Street, Project 97-03
City Engineer Lee Mann introduced plans for installing the Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP) system on the signal at
Ash street and TH 3 as proposed in the 1997 Capital Improvement Plan. This project is being constructed under the
MnDOT Metro Division Municipal Agreement Program which will provide for 75% of the EVP installation and 8% for
construction engineering contingent upon being awarded before July 1, 1997. Estimated installation, engineering, legal,
administration costs will total $27,500. MnDOT's share of this cost is $16,200; Municipal State Aid will fund $6,600, and
the City's Road and Bridge fund will cover the remaining share of approximately $4,700. MOTION by Gamer, second by
Cordes to adopt RESOLUTION R64-97 approving the plans and specifications and authorizing the advertisement for bids
contingent upon the execution of the cooperative agreement. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
17. Roundtable
Councilmember Fitch: The efficient, friendly and smiling staff is to be complimented for a job well done at the recent
Clean Up Day.
Mayor Ristow: Requested that residents' concern for railroad traffic blocking emergency vehicles be addressed in the City
newsletter.
- Welcomed a new business, New York Life Insurance, to the Industrial Park.

SUBJECT: Code Enforcement Issues
DATE: June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
In response to citizens' complaints regarding the storage of refuse on residential lots, I would like
to review the current policy regarding the enforcement of refuse and similar types of ordinance
violations.
DISCUSSION
Upon receiving a complaint, a Citizen Action Request form is filled out and given to the
appropriate inspector to verify that a problem exists and the extent of the problem. If a problem
exists, a letter of notification is mailed to the property owner via certified mail. The property
owner, according to city ordinance 7-1-7 (B), is given ten days to correct the situation.
We have checked with the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Lakeville and Rosemount and
found that all four cities handle their complaints on a reactive basis similar to the process that we
currently follow. They reported that they did not have the staff to inspect and enforce on a
proactive basis, which in my opinion, is the situation in Farmington as well.
ACTION REQUIRED
No action is required by the City Council, only the verification to continue with the current
policy and past practice.

Dear Mr. Giles,
When platting, the City requires 12 1/2 % land or the cash equivalent of the plat for park purposes.
Council establishes a value of$15,000 / acre for dedication fees when cash is accepted rather than land.
The Pine Ridge Forest Plat is platted on 30.6143 acres. The dedicated amount of parkland for the plat is
3.83 acres. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to Council the dedication ofland only.
Your total land dedication is 5.5051 acres or 1.68 acres more than is required by ordinance. The City
apprec~.ates this generous offer to donate an extra 1.68 acres to enhance the adjoining parkland and to
preserve the ridge and many trees on the property. The value of the donation based on the park dedication
ordinance is $25,200.
Thank you for this generous donation and it has been a pleasure working with you on this matter.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Organizational Realignment - Solid
Waste Services
DATE: June 2, 1997
Upon the departure of the former City Engineer, a temporary reassignment of organizational
activities was implemented to ensure that services in the Public Works Department were
appropriately overseen and managed during the interim period. During this interim period, solid
waste services were assigned to the Parks and Recreation Department.
DISCUSSION
After a thorough review, it has been determined that solid waste services will remain under the
Parks and Recreation Department. The provision of this service over the last several months
under the oversight of the Parks and Recreation Department indicates that the quality and level
of solid waste services provided will remain high and customer service oriented. This
realignment is appropriate given the type and nature of the service provided, workload criteria
involved in the provision of the service, and is consistent with other fee-for-services programs
currently in the Park and Recreation Department, i.e. ice arena, the municipal pool, summer
programs" and senior center programs.
The City Code provides that the administrator has the ability to assign and/or reassign City
operations based on individual capabilities and available resources regarding the internal
administration of City affairs. Accordingly, the decision to provide solid waste services by the
municipality is a Council policy, the implementation of this policy is one of appropriate resource
utilization, internal organizational factors and staffing.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
ACTION REQUESTED
As this change is organizational in nature, and will have no effect on Council policy or the
provision of the service to City customers, this is for information only.

RE: CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
FOR LOCAL PERFORMANCE AID PAYABLE IN 1998
Minnesota Statutes, Section 477A.05 provides for Local Performance Aid (LPA). In
order to qualify for LP A, your city must have a system of performance measures for
services provided by the city, and must regularly compile and present these measures to
the city council at least once per year. Ifthere is currently no system of performance
measures in place, your city may still qualify for this aid if it is in the process of
developing and implementing a system of performance measures. However, eligibility
based upon being in the process of development may not be used for more than two
consecutive years.
For the purpose of the enclosed certification form, "in the process" may include having
the subject of performance measures on the agenda of the city council. The city should
then use the time period between this year's certification and next year's certification to
develop basic measures such as "workload," unless it has already moved beyond this
stage. The second year of "in the process" must be used to move to a higher level of
performance measurement, such as measuring efficiency and effectiveness.
Local performance aid will be determined as follows for calendar year 1998: The total
amount of aid available for cities in 1998 is $4,107,673, plus an inflation adjustment
based on the implicit price deflator. A per capita aid amount will be determined by
dividing the total aid available by the total population of all cities that qualify for the aid.
Each qualifying city then receives an aid amount based on its population times the per
capita aid amount.
Distribution of LP A is based on yearly certifications for each qualifying city. Cities are
required to submit an annual certification in order to receive LP A payable in calendar
year 1998 and subsequent years.
Note: The State Legislature is currently looking at LP A, and there could be changes
which affect LP A. Your city will be notified if there are changes which affect your
1998 Certification of Local Performance Measures or your 1998 LP A.
LP A will be paid in two equal installments on July 20 and December 26 of 1998.
Qualifying cities will receive a certification of their 1998 LP A by J ul Y 31, 1997.

An equal opportllnity employer
TDD. (612) 215-0069
Page 2
As mentioned above, your city may qualify for LP A by (1) having a system of
performance measures in place, or (2) by being in the process of developing and
implementing a system of performance measures. If your city qualifies for LP A by either
criteria, and your city wishes to participate in the distribution of this aid for calendar year
1998, your city must fill out the enclosed certification and return it to our office by June
30, 1997. Please note: if our office does not receive a certification from your city by
June 30,1997, your city will not be eligible to receive this aid in calendar year 1998.
If you have any questions regarding the completion of this form. please feel free to call

the Developer agrees to install a sales board on which a copy of the approved plat,
final utility plan and a zoning map or planned unit development plan are displayed,
showing the relationship between this subdivision and the adjoining neighborhood.
The zoning and land use classification of all land and network of major streets
within 350 feet of the plat shall be included.
5. Zoning/Development Map. The Developer shall provide an 8 1/2" x 14" scaled map
of the plat and land within 350' of the plat containing
the following information:
a. platted property;
b. existing and future roads;

2
The improvements shall be installed in accordance with Plans A through F, and in
accordance with City standards, ordinances and plans and specifications which have
been prepared by a competent registered professional engineer furnished to the City
and approved by the City Engineer. The Developer shall obtain all necessary permits
from the Metropolitan Council and other agencies before proceeding with construction.
The Developer shall instruct its engineer to provide adequate field inspection
personnel to assure an acceptable level of quality control to the extent that the
Developer's engineer will be able to certify that the construction work meets the
approved City standards as a condition of City acceptance. In addition, the City
may, at the City's discretion and at the Developer's expense, have one or more City
inspector(s) and a soil engineer inspect the work on a full or part time basis. The
Developer or his engineer shall schedule a preconstruct ion meeting at a mutually
agreeable time at the City Council chambers with all parties concerned, including the
City staff, to review the program for the construction work. Within sixty (60) days
after the completion of the improvements and before the security is released, the
Developer shall supply the City with a complete set of reproducible "As Built" plans.
The Developer shall also supply the City with a 3.5" diskette containing the
following information in an Autocad Release 12 compatible format (.dwg or .dxf
files) :
- approved plat
- proposed utilities (storm sewer, water main, sanitary sewer)
- layer names should be self explanatory, or a list must be
included as a key.
If the Developer does not provide such information, the City will digitize the data.
All costs associated with digitizing the data will be the responsibility of the
developer.
7. Time of Performance. The Developer shall install all required public
improvements by November 1, 1998. The Developer may,
however, request an extension of time from the City. If an extension is granted, it
shall be conditioned upon updating the security posted by the Developer to reflect
cost increases.
3
8. Ownership of Improvements. Upon the completion of the work and construction
required to be done by this Agreement, the
improvements lying within public easements shall become City property, except for
cable TV, electrical, gas, and telephone, without further notice or action.
9. Warranty. The Developer warrants all improvements required to be constructed by
it pursuant to this Contract against poor material and faulty
workmanship. The warranty period for streets is one year. The warranty period for
underground utilities is two years. If all improvements are installed by one
contractor, the warranty period shall commence after the final wear course has been
completed and the streets have been accepted by City Council resolution. If streets
and underground utilities are installed by separate contractors, the warranty period
on streets shall commence after the final wear course has been installed and accepted
by City Council resolution and the warranty period on underground utilities shall
commence following their completion and acceptance by the City. All trees shall be
warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free for twelve (12) months after
planting. Any replacements shall be warranted for twelve (12) months from the time
of planting. The Developer shall post maintenance bonds or other surety acceptable
to the City to secure the warranties. The City shall retain ten percent (10%) of the
security posted by the Developer until the bonds or other acceptable surety are
furnished to the City or until the warranty period has been completed, whichever
first occurs. The retainage may be used to pay for warranty work. The City standard
specifications for utilities and street construction identify the procedures for
final acceptance of streets and utilities.
10. Grading Plan. The plat shall be graded and drainage provided by the Developer
in accordance with Plan B. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Agreement, the Developer may start rough grading the lots within the
stockpile and easement areas in conformance with Plan B before the plat is filed if
all fees have been paid and the City has been furnished the required security.
Additional rough grading may be allowed upon obtaining written authorization from the
City Engineer.
4
If the developer needs to change grading affecting drainage after homeowners are on
site, he must notify all property owners/residents of this work prior to its
initiation.
11. Erosion Control and Fees. After the site is rough graded, but before any
utility construction is commenced or building permits
are issued, the erosion control plan, Plan B, shall be implemented by the Developer
and inspected and approved by the City. The City may impose additional erosion
control requirements if it is determined that the methods implemented are
insufficient to properly control erosion. All areas disturbed by the excavation and
backfilling operations shall be reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work
in that area. All seeded areas shall be fertilized, mulched and disc anchored as
necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in
controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan
and schedule, or supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take
such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion. The City will endeavor to
notify the Developer in advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do
so will not affect the Developer's and the City's rights or obligations hereunder.
If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any costs of the City incurred for
such work within thirty (30) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay
any costs. No development will be allowed and no building permits will be issued
unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion control requirements.
The Developer is responsible for a $ -0- Erosion and Sediment Control fee (previously
paid) based upon the number of lots in the plat, plus inspection fees at the current
rate of $39.00 per hour as charged by the Soil and Water Conservation District. The
Developer is also responsible for a Water Quality Management Fee of $ 1,357.50 based
upon the number of acres in the plat.
12. Landscaping. The Developer shall landscape the plat in accordance with Plan C.
The landscaping shall be accomplished in accordance with a time
schedule approved by the City.
5
13. Phased Development. The plat shall be developed in one (1) phase in
accordance with Plan A. No earth moving, construction of
public improvements or other development shall be done in any phase until a final
plat for the phase has been filed in the County Recorder's office and the necessary
security has been furnished to the City. For purposes of this requirement, outlots
shall not be deemed to have been final platted, except for Outlots C, D, E. F, I and
J. The City may refuse to approve final plats of subsequent phases until public
improvements for all prior phases have been satisfactorily completed. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, this Development Contract constitutes approval to develop
the plat. Development of subsequent phases may not proceed until development
agreements for such phases are approved by the City.
14. Effect of Subdivision ~proval. For two (2) years from the date of this
Agreement, no amendments to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, except an amendment placing the plat in the current urban service
area, or removing any part thereof which has not been final platted, or official
controls shall apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, lot layout
or dedications or platting required or permitted by the approved preliminary plat
unless required by State or Federal law or agreed to in writing by the City and the
Developer. Thereafter, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
to the full extent permitted by State law, the City may require compliance with any
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan (including removing unplatted property
from the urban service area), official controls, platting or dedication requirements
enacted after the date of this Agreement any may require submission of a new plat.
IS. Surface Water Management Fee. The Developer shall pay an area storm water
management charge of $ 109,977.06 in lieu of the
property paying a like assessment at a later date. The charge shall be assessed
against the lots (not outlots) in the plat over a 10 year period with interest on the
unpaid balance calculated at eight percent (8%) per annum. The assessment shall be
deemed adopted on the date this Agreement is signed by the City. The assessments may
be assumed or prepaid at any time. The Developer waives any and all procedural and
substantive objections to the assessments including any claim that the assessments
exceed the benefit to the property. The Developer waives any appeal rights otherwise
available pursuant to MSA 429.081. Storm sewer charges for subsequent phases shall
6
be calculated and paid based upon requirements in effect at the time the Development
Contracts for those phases are entered into.
16. Wetland Conservation and Mitigation. The Developer shall comply with the 1991
Wetlands Conservation Act, as amended, and
the Wetlands Mitigation Plan. The Developer shall pay all costs associated with
wetlands conservation and the Wetlands Mitigation Plan.
17. Water Main Trunk Area Charge. The Developer shall pay a water area charge
of $ 51,937.15 for the plat in lieu of the
property paying a like assessment at a later date. The charge shall be assessed
against the lots (not outlots) in the plat over a ten (10) year period with interest
on the unpaid balance calculated at eight percent (8%) per annum. The assessment
shall be deemed adopted on the date this Agreement is signed by the City. The
assessments may be assumed or prepaid at any time. The Developer waives any and all
procedural and substantive objections to the assessments including any claim that the
assessments exceed the benefit to the property. The Developer waives any appeal
rights otherwise available pursuant to MSA 429.081. Water area charges for
subsequent phases shall be calculated and paid based upon requirements in effect at
the time the Development Contracts for those phases are entered into.
A credit of $24,529.90 will be given to the developer for water main trunk oversizing
within the plat. The net result is that the assessment will be based on a charge of
$27,407.25.
18. Water Treatment Plant Fee. The Developer shall pay a water treatment plant fee
of $ 37,600.00 for the plat in lieu of the property
paying a like assessment at a later date. The charge shall be assessed against the
lots (not outlots) in the plat over a ten (10) year period with interest on the
unpaid balance calculated at eight percent (8%) per annum. The assessment shall be
deemed adopted on the date this Agreement is signed by the City. The assessments may
be assumed or prepaid at any time. The Developer waives any and all procedural and
substantive objections to the assessments including any claim that the assessments
exceed the benefit to the property. The Developer waives any appeal rights otherwise
7
available pursuant to MSA 429.081. Water treatment plant fees for subsequent phases
shall be calculated and paid based upon requirements in effect at the time the

costs and expenses incurred by the City in monitoring and inspecting the development
of the plat.
B. The Developer, except for City's willful misconduct, shall hold the City and
its officers and employees harmless from claims made by itself and third parties for
damages sustained or costs incurred resulting from plat approval and development.

debris, thereby preventing it from being blown off site, except as otherwise approved
by the City Engineer.

work to be performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work
and the Developer shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense incurred by the
City, provided the Developer, except in an emergency as determined by the City, is
first given written notice of the work in default, not less than 72 hours in advance.
This Agreement is a license for the City to act, and it shall not be necessary for
the City to seek a Court order for permission to enter the land. When the City does
any such work, the City may, in addition to its other remedies, assess the cost in
whole or in part.
31. Miscellaneous.
A. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties, their heirs, successors or
assigns, as the case may be.
11
B. Breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Developer shall be grounds for
denial of building permits, including lots sold to third parties.
C. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph or phrase

improvements, the Developer assumes all liability and costs resulting in delays in
completion of public improvements and damage to public improvements caused by the
City, Developer, its contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, employees, agents or
third parties. Normal procedure requires that streets needed for access to approved
uses shall be paved with a bituminous surface before certificates of occupancy may be
issued. However, the City Engineer is authorized to waive this requirement when
weather related circumstances prevent completion of street projects before the end of
the construction season. The Developer is responsible for maintaining said streets
in a condition that will assure the access of emergency vehicles at all times when
such a waiver is granted.
E. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or
amendment to the provisions of this Agreement. To be binding, amendments or waivers
shall be in writing, signed by the parties and approved by written resolution of the
City Council. The City's failure to promptly take legal action to enforce this
Agreement shall not be a waiver or release.
F. The Developer represents to the City, to the best of its knowledge, that the
plat is not of "metropolitan significance" and that an environmental impact statement
is not required. However, if the City or another governmental entity or agency
determines that such a review is needed, that the Developer shall prepare it in
compliance with legal requirements so issued from said agency. The Developer shall
reimburse the City for all expenses, including staff time and attorney fees, that the
City incurs in assisting in the preparation of the review.
12
G. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Developer represents to the City
that the plat complies with all City, County, Metropolitan, State and Federal laws
and regulations, including but not limited to: subdivision ordinances, zoning
ordinances and environmental regulations. If the City determines that the plat does
not comply, the City may, at its option, refuse to allow any construction or
development work in the plat until the Developer does comply. Upon the City's
demand, the Developer shall cease work until there is compliance.
H. This Agreement shall run with the land and may be recorded against the title
to the property. After the Developer has completed the work required of it under
this Agreement, at the Developer's request the City will execute and deliver a
release to the Developer.
I. Developer shall take out and maintain until six months after the City has
accepted the public improvements, public liability and property damage insurance
covering personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage which may
arise out of the Developer's work or the work of its subcontractors or by one
directly or indirectly employed by any of them. Limits for bodily injury or death
shall not be less than $500,000.00 for one person and $1,000,000.00 for each
occurrence; limits for property damage shall not be less than $200,000.00 for each
occurrence. The City shall be named as an additional named insured on said policy,
and Developer shall file a copy of the insurance coverage with the City prior to the
City signing the plat.

K. Upon breach of the terms of this Agreement, the City may, without notice to
the Developer, draw down the Developer's cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit
as provided in paragraph 26 of this Agreement. The City may draw down this security
in the amount of $500.00 per day that the Developer is in violation. The City, in
its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Developer is in violation of the
Agreement. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 30 hereof, this determination may
be made without notice to the Developer. It is stipulated that the violation of any
term will result in damages to the City in an amount which will be impractical and
extremely difficult to ascertain. It is agreed that the per day sum stipulated is a
reasonable amount to compensate the City for its damages.
13

Plans A-F during the following hours of operation:
Monday - Friday
Saturday
Sunday
7:00 A.M. until 7:00 P.M.
8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M.

provide a Class 5 aggregate entrance for every house that is to be constructed in the
development. This entrance is required to be installed upon initial construction of
the home. See City Standard Plate No. 362A for construction requirements.

twelve inches (12") on vacant lots or boulevards within their development as per City
Code 6-7-2. Failure to control weeds will be considered a Developer's Default as
outlined in Paragraph 30 of this Agreement and the Developer will reimburse the City
as defined in said Paragraph 30.

Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT:
Request from Jay Christianson to Farm
Wenzel Property Acquired for the Central
Maintenance Facility
DATE:
June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The City has acquired a portion of the Wenzel property in the southeast quadrant of 195th Street and the
proposed Pilot Knob Road re-alignment for the future Central Maintenance Facility. The new water
reservoir will also be constructed on this site.
DISCUSSION
Jay Christianson is the farmer who has rented the Wenzel property in the past. Mr. Christianson approached
the City and asked if he could rent the property not involved with the water reservoir construction from the
City for farming purposes. The timing of the Pilot Knob Road project would also need to be factored into
the farmable area.
BUDGET IMPACT
Mr. Christianson informed staff that he has rented Wenzel's property in the past for $65 per acre. Of the
land acquired, approximately 20 acres could be farmed, leaving out the area needed for the water reservoir
construction. The rent for the land would be $1300 based on $65/acre.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Staff recommends that the Council make a motion to allow Mr. Christianson to farm the City property
discussed in 1997, contingent on the schedule of the contractor for the water reservoir construction. If
the contractor's schedule for the growing season includes tower erection, allowing Mr. Christianson to
farm is not recommended. If Mr. Christianson is allowed to farm based on the schedule, those areas
needed for reservoir construction and Pilot Knob Road construction would be excepted from the area
Mr. Christianson would be allowed to farm.
2. Staff recommends that the rent be set at $65/acre for 1997.
3. That the City attorney prepare a lease incorporating the above terms.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT:
Henderson Area Storm Sewer
Public Hearing
DATE:
June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
At the May 19, 1997 Council meeting, the Council continued the public hearing for
the Henderson Area Storm Sewer Project. There was a typographical error on the
public hearing notices and corrected notices were sent out in order to ensure the
statutory requirements of MS 429 were met. The continued hearing of May 19th and
the public hearing set by the corrected notices will run concurrently.
DISCUSSION
The construction of storm sewer in the Henderson area would help alleviate
drainage and groundwater problems that have been identified in Farmington's 1993
Facilities Plan. The following points should be considered when discussing this
proposed project.
. Currently, this area has large areas of overland flow, high groundwater, and
no storm sewer. The lack of an adequate drainage system contributes to street
deterioration and presents safety concerns with ponding and ice, especially at
the low area on Hickory between 7th and 8th Streets.
. The storm sewer proposed would be constructed between 7th and lOth Streets,
generally along the alignment of Hickory Street. This alignment is the most
cost effective solution for addressing drainage and groundwater issues in the
project area. The low point on Hickory Street between 7th and 8th Streets
cannot be drained to the ditch on TrUIlk Highway 3 because the ditch on Trunk
Highway 3 is higher than the low point on Hickory Street.
. The question has been raised as to why residents along 10th Street were not
assessed when catch basins on 10th and Hickory were installed. Further
research has revealed that the cost of these improvements did not equal 20% or
more of the total project cost of the prairie Waterway, of which these
improvements were a part. Under MS 429, at least 20% of the project cost
needs to be assessed. Since the catch basins did not equal 20% of the total
project cost, the City could not legally assess the costs.
. In order for MnDOT to participate in the project, they will need to receive
plans for the improvements for review by the end of June. As stated in the
feasibility study, the project should not go forward without MnDOT
participation.

BUDGET IMPACT
The estimated total project cost is $397,900. Per the City's assessment policy,
lOot of the lateral storm sewer costs would be assessed against benefiting
properties. The estimated assessment for residential property is $1,530 per
buildable lot. The estimated assessment for commercial and multi family
property, and MnDOT right of way is $6,570 per acre. A breakdown of project
costs and assessments is below:

$ 67,500
* MnDOT's estimated share is based on the drainage area of TH3 benefiting from
the improvements, calculated per their cost sharing procedures, which comes to
~8t of the total storm sewer cost.
An appraiser was contracted to determine value increases to properties provided
with storm sewer improvements. The proposed assessments are within the value
increase determined by the appraiser.
The costs identified to be assessed would be assessed over a 10 to 15 year
period. The City's share of costs would be funded by the Storm Water Utility
Fund which was established in 1990 for the purpose of maintaining and/or
constructing storm sewer improvements in existing areas of Farmington.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Council should decide whether or not to proceed with the project.
2. If the project is to proceed, adopt a resolution ordering the project and
authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications.

SUBJECT: Vacating Portion of Main
Street and Alley - Eagle's
Site Plan
DATE: June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The proposed vacation is located in Block 25, Lots, 1,2 and 3 and Block 28, Lot 6 where
the Eagle's Club building is proposed. The vacation includes Main Street and the alley to
the north.
DISCUSSION
The Eagle's Club proposes to construct a parking lot over the proposed vacation of Main
Street and the alley to the north. It is no longer in the interest of the City to maintain both
the aforementioned street and alley subject to the reservation of public utility easements
over, under and across the vacated street and alley.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed vacation of Main Street and
th~ alley to the north.
ACTION REQUIRED

DATE: June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
Bids for the 1.5 Million Gallon Elevated Water Storage Tank were taken on Thursday, May 29,
1997. Three bids for this project were received.
DISCUSSION
The Water Board approved the plans and specifications and authorized staff to proceed with the
advertisement for bids for this project at the April 28, 1997 meeting. Pitt-Des Moines, Inc.
submitted the low bid in the amount of $1,539,000 (Base bid plus alternates). The Water Board
has elected to include the alternate bid items with the project. The alternates include a garage
door, a concrete floor for the inside of the Tower and and a condensate ceiling inside the Tower.
These alternate items will allow for storage of equipment in the Tower. The estimated
construction cost presented to the Council in the Capital Improvement Plan on March 17, 1997
was $1,801,000.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total estimated cost of the project including contingencies, and engineering, legal and
administration costs is $2,118,500. The City has issued $2,140,000 in bonds that will be retired
over a seventeen (17) year period with funds from the Water Board generated through user fees.
RECOMMENDATION
Accept the bid of Pitt-Des Moines, Inc. for $1,539,000 and award the contract by resolution.

SUBJECT: Revised Fence Ordinance
DATE: June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The revised fence ordinance will amend Section 10-6-15 to include a clarification of
fence requirements on comer lots. The ordinance will also provide a procedure for
citizens to observe when constructing a fence over four feet in height.
DISCUSSION
Revisions to the fence ordinance proposed by the City Council at the May 5th meeting
include the following:
. Revise fence requirements on cornerlots to allow fences at six feet in height to be
located at the front comer of the principal building and extending to the adjoining
interior lot's property line and fences at six feet in height to be located beginning at
the rear comer of the principal building and extending to the property line adjoining
the street.
. Delete the requirement for a four foot fence required when a. rear lot line abuts with
the side lot .line of another lot.
The Planning Commission discussed the proposed revisions to the ordinance by the City
Council at their May 13th and 27th meeting and have enclosed information stating their
concerns of the proposed revisions. The letter addresses comments made by the City
Council concerning 1) the ordinance being unfair to property owners who own comer
lots compared to interior lot property owners, 2) the approval by surrounding
communities to allow six foot fences on comer lots, 3) and visual problems do not exist
at intersections with six foot fences on comer lots.
The information includes a letter drafted by the Planning Commission and supporting
documents including the August 13, 1991 Planning Commission minutes, a residential
fencing requirement matrix and location of lots within an existing subdivision illustrating

this information by staff will be performed to introduce the concerns to the City Council.
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed revisions and has approved the attached
fence ordinance revisions.

TO: Mayor, Councilmembers and City
Administrator
FROM: City of Farmington Planning
Commission
SUBJECT: Fence Ordinance Revision
DATE: May 27, 1997
INTRODUCTION & DISCUSSION
The purpose of this memo is to inform the Farmington City Council of the Planning Commission's
rationale for the proposed fence ordinance revision and to address the issues brought up by the
Council at the May 5 Council meeting.
The Planning Commission recommends the proposed revision to the fence ordinance for the
following reasons:
. The members of the Planning Commission share a common vision for Farmington. Despite
projected growth, maintaining a closer, "small town" community environment which values the
more traditional community environment and fosters a sense of community among its residents
is the vision we foresee in Farmington. This vision is not constrained by the standards of other
surrounding communities; rather we view distinctions as necessary to distinguish ourselves and
attract future residents which share these values.
. The Planning Commission's mandate is to make recommendations to the City Council which
will benefit the entire community and not be influenced by political pressures. We believe the
ordinance revisions previously submitted to the City Council strike an appropriate balance
between the desires of individual residents and an equitable, enforceable policy which
maintains appropriate levels of aesthetics and safety. There is unanimous agreement among
members of the Planning Commission that to adopt an ordinance that is vague of interpretation,
difficult to enforce and easy to deviate from will be virtually impossible to administer
effectively and equitably.
To address the specific issues brought up in the May 5th City Council meeting:
1. The proposed ordinance was unfair to owners of corner lots who would not have the same
advantages as interior lot owners. To mitigate the negative effects of a larger setback on the
second side of the property, it has been the policy of the Planning Commission for several
years to require developers to take this into account when creating development plats. As a
result, the average buildable area of corner lots is no less than those of interior lots even with
the additional setback requirement. (See attached August 13, 1991 Planning Commission
CitlJ. of FarminfJton 325 Oak Street · FarminfJton, MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fait (612) 463.2591
minutes). With respect to the fence height requirement, it is appropriate to interpret property
which faces a public street as being "frontage" and, as such, fences on these sides should
conform to standards consistent with that interpretation. This interpretation enhances safety and
contributes positively to the overall appearance of the community.
2. Other communities in the metro area allow property owners with corner lots to construct
six foot fences in the areas this ordinance would prohibit. (See attached Residential Fencing
Requirements Matrix). That aside, it is not the vision of the Planning Commission that
Farmington adopt the policies and standards of surrounding communities. We believe
Farmington to be unique and its standards should reflect that uniqueness by adopting those
which foster a family-friendly, traditional sense of community.
3. No visual problems were apparent at intersections with six foot high fences. Safety was
and is of the utmost concern to the Planning Commission in approving the original revised
ordinance. Safety should not be compromised when the ordinance is revised. Asingle
incident far outweighs any benefit to any group when revising the originally approved
ordinance. To prove this point, attached to this document are typical lots within a subdivision
which clearly show the hazards of fences visually blocking intersections. Although the
visibility problem is subjective, it is apparent from these illustrations that visual problems exist.
At this point, the Planning Commission is not willing to incur any responsibility for potential
safety problems if the originally approved ordinance is revised.
RECOMMENDATION
For these reasons the Planning Commission believes its recommended changes to the fencing
ordinance are appropriate and consistent with the overall vision of how we wish Farmington to
grow. We believe it is necessary to be consistent in our vision and to adopt standards that are
understandable, enforceable and easy to administer . We believe the recommendations provided by
the Planning Commission accomplish these goals and resubmit them for consideration by the City
Council.
As a Planning Commission, we have addressed your initial concerns to the best of our ability and
have worked diligently to provide a complete and safe fence ordinance revision. We request you
to look at the issues we have addressed and make a conscious decision for providing a safe and
effective ordinance for the future of Farmington.

1. Chairman Hanson called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.
Members Present: Gramentz, Hanson, Rotty, Schlawin, Thelen.
Members Absent: None.
Also Present: Planner Tooker.
2. The Chairman asked for comments on the Minutes of July 9, 1991. MOTION by
Schlawin second by Gramentz to approve the minutes of July 9, 1991 as distributed.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
3. Chairman Hanson reopened the Public Hearing requested by David Nielsen of 909
Hickory Street to build a garage/storage building 10 feet in front of existing
set back lines. Planner Tooker said that Mr. Nielsen had decided to build the
structure within a rear yard and therefore there is no further need to hold open
this hearing. MOTION by Rotty second by Schlawin to close the Public Hearing.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
'd-=-- .::.'
[, -"::
r ..~.
~~~;.
4. Chairman Hanson opened the Public Hearing advertised for 7:05 P.M. regarding a zoning
Ordinance change recommended by staff regarding the size of garages. The ordinance
will return Title 10, Chapter 4, Section 1 (L) to read as it did prior to a May 1991
revision which limited all private garages for residential property to 800 square
feet. The ordinance will return to the original concept about the size of detached
garages. This will allow the construction of a detached garage-when~Tan attached
garage may already be in place as long as the overall building coverage does not
exceed 20%. MOTION by Rotty second by Thelen to forward the proposed change in
Title 10, Chapter 4, Section l(L) to the City Council with the recommendation that
it should approved. APIF, HOTI-oN r.A'R'RTI:Tl.
5. Planner Tooker raised a question regarding zoning administration. Since the
application for a variance requested by Mr. Nielsen was not actually possible to
grant, would the Commission consider refunding Mr. Nielsen's application fee?
Chairman Hanson said he believed this to be an administrative issue which should
be handled by the Zoning Administrator. Members agreed.
6. The Planner then recieved a request from staff to determine the meaning of a six
foot fence that traverse~ an uneven ground line. The focus of this discussion is
a neighborhood dispute involving a fence built by Pete Gerten at 707 Centennial
Circle. There was disagreement among the staff about the height since the fence
owner changed the ground elevation after the fence was in place. A neighbor was
particularly unhappy since the fence was built with the "wrong side" facing her
property. The members of the Commission each looked at the site and did not agree
upon the definition of a six foot fence. Chairman Hanson suggested the need for a
policy on fences which follow uneven topography. After a lengthy discussion, the
following motion was adopted. MOTION by Rotty second by Gramentz to determine that
the fence under discussion is a six foot fence even though short segments are more
than six feet higher than the original ground elevation. APPROVE: Gramentz, Rotty,
Schlawin, Thelen. DISAPPROVE: Hanson. MOTION CARRIED.
'~'7' Planner Tooker introduced the schematic plan for Silver Springs by saying it has been
before the commission in several forms. The current plan does~ follow street
' alignments previously agreed to but many of the lots are at the minimum required
. by zoning. ~~ile the consulting engineer has attempted to increase the size of
corner lots, they are still quite small. He noted that 15 corner lots in this
plat were smaller than would be acceptable. The Planner suggested that many
communities require corner lots to be 20% wider and 20 % larger than the minimum
requirements for other lots. In the Farmington R-1 District this would mean
that corner lots must be 90 feet wide and at least 12,000 square feet in area.
Planner Tooker then indicated that the existing sewer line and adjoining
development suggested an interesting split entry drive which would provide a
median strip location for an identification sign sign along County Road 31.
1r~members were interested in the lot sizes proposed, as they appear to be
smaller than those in adjoing plats. MOTION by Schlawin second by Rotty to
approve the concept as proposed except that the corner lots in particular need
to be significantly larger than proposed. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
8. The Planner presented a discussion on a proposed office and storage building for
Dakota County Lumber on the west side of Eighth Street in Farmington. He indicated
the need for paving across the entire entry and outlined concerns written by the
City Engineer. Special emphasis was placed on the need for an easement granted
by the owner to the City for the City Water Main which traverses the site. The
Engineer pointed out that the railroad granted a license for this line but, for
maintenance purposes an easement should be required. Chairman Hanson said that
there is an existing "tin shed" which is 34 feet from Pine Steet and that this
building should establish the front yard setback. Planner Tooker replied that
while this has been the practice in residential areas, there is no precedent for
for that within the Industrial District. He said in addition that the ordinance
was established to provide standards for new development lasting for a long period
of time. Ge~ral response from the members was that because of the cqnfiguration
of this prop~rty, a 50 foot setback would limit the expansion potential of this
business. MOTION by Schlawin second by Rotty to approve the development plan
subject to a 35 foot setback from Pine Street and all of the recommendations from
the City Engineer to the Planner in his memo dated August 13, 1991. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED .

9. Planner Tooker reviewed a possible amendment to the subdivision ordinance regarding
Arterial Road Screening. It was the consensus of those present that the ordinance
could use some refinement and that perhaps it would be combined with a proposal to
develop wording which specifically addresses the size of corner lots within new sub-
divisions.
re";~~
Planner Tooker briefly re"i,~ the request of Clayton Nielsen for a variance which
would allo~ split ownership of a duplex he has proposed for the corner of Spruce and
First Streets. A public Hearing has been set for 5:00 P.M. on August 20, 1991 in the
Council Chambers. Member Rotty asked if the staff could call each member to remind
them of the special meeting.
10.
11. Chairman Hanson recognized David Nielsen who had specific questions about the
enforcement of upkeep on City resident ail lots and the current policy of allowing
"pole type" buildings within residential areas. The issue of pole buildings has
previously been discussed but not with the current City Council. The Chairman
indicated an interest in placing ~R~i~ concerns on a future agenda.
~~
12. There being no further business, the Commission agreed wo adjourn at 9:20 P.M.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

SUBJECT: As-Built Certificates of
Survey sINew Construction
DATE: June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
Recent drainage problems in new subdivisions in Farmington have required a considerable amount of
City staff time in trying to resolve these problems. Staff is recommending the following changes to
the private development process to address these concerns.
DISCUSSION
Engineering, Planning, and Building Inspection staff have been discussing ways to alleviate drainage
problems in developing subdivisions for several months. The problems most often occur when
individual lots are built on or graded in a manner that is not consistent with the approved grading plan
for the subdivision. The City of Farmington currently requires that a Certificate of Survey be
submitted with each building permit application. which shows the elevations of the lowest floor of the
house and garage as well as the lot corners and the direction of the surface drainage for the lot.
Building Inspection and Engineering staff check these individual Certificates of Surveys against the
previously approved grading plan prior to issuing a building permit.
The problems arise in situations where the final grading of individual lots is not consistent with the
previously submitted Certificate of Survey. By the time a drainage problem is discovered, the lot has
likely been sodded and the new home has been occupied. City staff are usually contacted at this point,
if a drainage problem exists, and it becomes much more difficult to have the builder correct the
problem "after the fact".
Staff is suggesting a change in the process to require As-Built Certificates of Survey for new
residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. This requirement is proposed to be part of the
building permitting process and it is recommended that an additional $1,500 surety be required for
single family residential permits. Parking lot and landscaping sureties currently required for
commercial and industrial building permits should be sufficient in most cases. An As-Built Survey
will now be required prior to the release of this surety.
The As-Built Certificates Surveys will be required prior to the issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy. If the survey is approved by the City Engineer, the amount of the surety being held for
CitlJ. of FarminiJ.ton 325 Oak Street · Farm;ntjton, MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fait (612) 463.2591
issues. Lakeville currently requires As-Built Surveys for problem are s only and escrowed funds are
required. Prior Lake currently has engineering staff check as-built el vations and requires $1,500 in
escrow for both landscaping and grading. The City of Savage currentl requires As-Built Surveys and
holds $1,200 in escrow on each building permit for this purpose.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approval of a resolution authorizing that As-Built Surveys be required as part of the permitting process
for all new construction and that a surety in the amount of $1 ,500 be established for this purpose. Staff
is recommending that this new requirement take effect July 7, 1997.
Respectfully Submitted,

Members
FROM: Richard Schindler,
Faith Druckrey
SUBJECT: As-built Certificate of
Survey/Drainage Problems
DATE: March 6, 1997
In November the Engineering and Building Inspection Division met to discuss solutions
to drainage problems in Farmington. As a result Faith Druckrey and I were assigned
the task of drafting as-built surveys requirements and language for new development
agreements. The following steps will provide the City of Farmington with tools to
manage drainage problems.
Step 1) Require all developers to provide as-built surveys for each lot in the
development. This would be implemented through language in the developers
agreement as follows:
Security in an amount established by the City Council shall be held for each lot
within the plat until the Developer submits an as-built cenificate of survey. All as-built
cenificates of surveys shall be reviewed by the City Engineer. As-built surveys shall
meet the requirements of standard Plate No. 1 and be completed after the house is built
and before the lot is seeded or sodded.
Step 2) Require surveyors to submit a standard certificate of survey with the building
permit application. A checklist and standard plate No.2 will assist the Building
Inspection Division in the initial review (see attachment).
Step 3) The developer submits an as-built certificate of survey for engineering to
review. If the survey is approved, surety held in the letter of credit will be reduced.
Please review the enclosed information and comment on this proposal at the March 10
development committee meeting.

SUBJECT: Debt Management Study
DATE:
June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION
An analysis of the City's outstanding debt situation has been completed by Juran & Moody.
Copies of the study are included with Council's packet. Tom Truszinski will be present at the
Council meeting to review the City's situation.
DISCUSSION
The results of the Debt Management study indicate a significant fiscal problem. If all things
remain the same and no action is taken to address the situation, the City will show a $1 million
cash shortfall for debt payments as early as 2000, escalating to a $2.2 million shortfall in less than
eight years. This projection is based on existing special assessments, tax increments and tax
levy revenues. These revenues are not enough to cover the annual debt service payments
required.
This shortfall will occur due to: 1) special assessments certified for less than originally predicted
in the bond documents resulting in less revenue, 2) prepaid special assessments inflating the fund
balances and tax levies being eliminated due to a misperception of enough funds available, 3)
difficulty in matching special assessment revenues to the proper bond issues, and 4) projects that
were bonded for and not done, with the bond proceeds being applied to other projects and not
accounted for with revenue.
This issue is not new. The City's auditors, Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co.
addressed this problem in their Management Report of 1992 (see copy attached). As the table
indicates, it was apparent that the City did not have sufficient revenues to make the debt
payments on the outstanding debt of that time. Subsequently, the City issued further debt which
suffers from the same situations as indicated in MMKR's management report.
By law this cash shortfall must be addressed; funds must be available to pay the debt service on
the bond issues. The means available to remedy this situation are few. Normally, refunding bond
issues with bonds that have lower interest rates would be an option. However, the outstanding
bonds that the City has are either non-callable (non-refundable) or the call date on the bonds is so
far in the future as to not be helpful in the refinancing process.
In the case of the 1992 and 1993 bond issues, funds still exist in the Capital Project funds which
are related to the debt issues. These funds are more than likely special assessment revenues
which were improperly classified or the remains of the bond proceeds which were not expended.
As these projects have been completed, the original bond resolutions require these Capital
Project funds to be closed and their balances transferred to the corresponding debt service funds.
This action will offset the shortfall by almost $500,000. However, it does not address the entire
issue.

As the bonds are General Obligation bonds ("backed by the full faith, credit and power of the City
to levy direct general ad valorem taxes"), the City must institute additional levies to make up the
total shortfall. Proposed options will be discussed at the meeting. Levying for debt payments is
excluded from the levy limits proposal currently awaiting the Governor's signature.
BUDGET IMPACT
Obviously, this debt situation has significant impact on the City's ability to 1) levy taxes for general
fund expenditures and 2) bond for further projects which would require the City to contribute funds
beyond any special assessments.
If the City wants to maintain or reduce the 34.9% Tax Capacity Rate, and the amount of the total
levy which must go to pay debt is increased, then the amount remaining for general fund
expenditures is reduced. Increasing expenses due to an increasing tax base will be difficult to
fund. Add to this impending levy limits and a significant budgeting problem comes into focus.
Likewise, further City improvement projects which call for City funding of the expenses, must be
curtailed, as the debt levy to pay for existing debt leaves no room for future levies. City projects
funded entirely by special assessments or non levy revenues or fees would be allowable. As the
City Council has recently discussed modification of the special assessment policy (resulting in
lower assessments and more City contributions), caution is advised when a decision on this policy
is formulated.
ACTION REQUESTED
Supplemental levies will be explained as part of the financial pro-forma presented at the meeting.
Final proposed supplemental levy will be introduced as part of the 1998 City Budget.
Determination of an appropriate supplemental levy will need to be reviewed and analyzed as the
budget is developed. No action is necessary at this time.

Debt Service F'1Duk
Due to the complex nature of governmental accounting, the financial statementS do not present the City's
debt and the respective sources of funding in one easy to evaluate schedule. This analysis is further
complicated by the nature of the revenue sources involved. FaT instance, in some cases the City has the
flexibility 10 utilize or eJjJl1jnate such sources as ad valorem taxes or interfund transfers. The following
table provides a summary of debt service commitments and related known funding sources as of
December 31, 1992 for the City's Improvement Bond Debt Service Funds. This analysis was not
considered practlcal for the City's other Debt Service Funds due to the 1DlCCrta.inty of future funding
sources such as iax tncremcnts.

It should be noted that this analysis does not take into account such potential funding sources as interest
on investments. interest on future years' special assessments, or interfund transfers. However, it does
provide some basis for analyzing these funds to determine wbich ones may be in need of additional
funding. We also recommend that those funds for which no funher debt service existS should be closed
out.

SUBJECT: CSAH 31 - Noise Mitigation
DATE: June 2, 1997
INTRODUCTION\DISCUSSION
Contrary to what I verbally conveyed to Council last week at the public hearing for Main Street
regarding the status of the noise mitigation legislation, the Governor, according to the State
Revisor's Office, received the bill on Friday, May 30th,
Unfortunately, the information I received through the Session Weekly, the official publication of
the MN Legislature, indicated that the bill had already made its way to the Governor and he was
expected to sign it. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Council. In the
future, I will communicate directly with the Governor's Office on the status of any bill to
hopefully ensure that the information is accurate.
It is my understanding that the Governor has until Tuesday, June 3, 1997 to either sign or veto
the bill. In the absence of any action by the Governor, the bill would become law on June 4,
1997. This information was obtained from the Revisor's Office.
ACTION REOUESTED
None. This is for information only.
