COUNCIL REVIEW OF AGENDA Councilmember Wilson asked what the CDBG balance would be for 2006 if the two items on the agenda are approved. Community Development Director Carroll replied their fiscal year runs from mid-year. The money approved in January 2005 is for the period starting July 1,2005. That amount was $65,500. The HRA proposed this be split between the Riste building and the McVicker lot. The HRA has been told to plan on receiving 95% of what was received last year for the next fiscal year. The HRA will discuss this and bring a recommendation to Council in November or December as to how that money should be used for next year. If the CDA approves the application, the money becomes available July 1, 2006. Councilmember Pritzlaffhad a correction to the minutes for the October 26, 2005 Council Workshop. Mayor Soderberg noted at the workshop there was a question raised regarding fuel tanks at the Maintenance Facility. If there is money left over from the new Fire Station that can be used to purchase the fuel tanks. ~. ~..... Council Minutes (Pre-Meeting) November 7, 2005 Page 2 Mayor Soderberg spoke with Fire Chief Kuchera and there are now a lot of requirements for a Fire Department. For a part-time Fire Chief it is overwhelming. It was proposed earlier in the budget to have a joint Fire Chief/Fire Marshal position. He asked Council if they would be interested in authorizing this position in the budget and leave it to the discretion of the new City Administrator. Finance Director Roland stated we are talking about a combination of jobs and the one job is currently fully funded and the change to a combination would be less than $5,000 annual difference. Police Chief Siebenaler noted right now and over the next two years is a very important time for public safety. There are a number of committee actively working on the 800 MHz joint dispatch. There are committees that will decide the fate and procedure for police and fire across the county. It would be important to be represented by a fulltime Fire Chief/Fire Marshal at these meetings. Mayor Soderberg noted the Fire Chiefhas recommended this for this year and in past years. Councilmember McKnight stated he would be in favor of including it in the budget for more discussion when the City Administrator starts. 5. STAFF COMMENTS 6.

PUBLIC HEARINGS b) Adopt Resolution - Approve Acquisition and Redevelopment of Vacant Lot - 201 4th Street - Community Development (This item was moved forward to accommodate the audience). This is concerning a vacant lot on the corner of 4th and Main Street. This is a tax forfeited parcel. The lot has been vacant because it is on the state's list of contaminated sites. A gas station had been located on the lot. Mr. Joe Heinen owns the Wide Open Throttle building, the two homes on Elm Street, and the auto repair shop. When testing was done on the vacant lot, groundwater contamination was found due to dry cleaning chemicals from a former dry cleaners a few blocks away. Mr. Heinen approached staff regarding redeveloping the north side of Elm Street from 3rd Street to 4th Street. There are two brick homes in this area. One of them would be moved to the vacant lot at 4th and Main Street. Staffmet with the county who asked that some attention be devoted to the contamination issue. Mr. Heinen has had further testing done and the contamination found earlier has diminished, there was no soil contamination, and no groundwater contamination. There were some chemical vapors found in the soil. The HRA would acquire the property and pass it on to Mr. Heinen. Mr. Heinen would like to begin work late this fall or early winter and move the house in the winter. This creates an opportunity for commercial development along Elm Street. Mayor Soderberg asked about the HRA having title and transferring it to Mr. Heinen and what risk the City would have. City Attorney Poehler replied as part ofthe transaction the City is obtaining letters from the MPCA that will remove any liability from the City for any hazardous materials found to this point. Mr. Joe Heinen stated the two houses are currently vacant. He does not have a plan yet for the overall block. Right now he is focusing attention on improvements to the current commercial building. The houses are very Council Minutes (Regular) November 7, 2005 Page 3 interesting and structurally sound. They do need some work on the inside, but he is prepared to do that. If the houses can be moved it presents numerous opportunities for a broader development. He has discussed alternatives for the site with staff. He has done a substantial amount of work on the commercial building. Councilmember McKnight asked Mr. Heinen why he did not purchase the property directly from Dakota county. Community Development Director Carroll replied the county has told staff ifthey are not going to sell the property to a governmental entity there will have to be a bidding process or an auction. Councilmember McKnight asked what is the estimated timeline for the City owning this. Staff replied the state is ready to send the deed as soon as the City is ready to accept it. If the county transfers the property to the HRA for $1, the county expects that when the HRA sells it, we get fair market value for it and then transfer that money back to the county. Staff has indicated that whatever the fair market value is determined to be, we should be able to deduct from that the expenses that Mr. Heinen has incurred and the future expenses he will have to deal with the MPCA issues. The county staff has generally accepted this, but may require some specifics. Staffwill work with Mr. Heinen to determine future expenses and add them to the costs so far and give the county a proposal. Councilmember McKnight would like to see this area redeveloped, but he would feel more comfortable if there were plans in place. Councilmember Fogarty asked if Mr. Heinen has found a lot for the second home. Mr. Heinen replied he has not. One of the houses is in significantly better condition than the other one. The plan is to rezone the area for commercial. He does not plan to put homes on the lots. Staff noted the south half of the block is currently zoned B-2. Mr. Heinen has not determined what to do with the auto repair shop. MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by Wilson to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson adopting RESOLUTION R127-05 authorizing the Farmington HRA and City staff to proceed with the proposed acquisition of the vacant lot located at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Main Street. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. a) Adopt Resolution - Approve Acquisition and Redevelopment of Riste Building - Community Development The Riste building has been vacant for some time and is in very poor condition. It is currently owned by Mr. Hosmer Brown who also owns the Larson building and the Exchange Bank building. The Riste building sits on two lots. There is an open area in the back to provide access to the back of the Larson and Exchange Bank buildings. The HRA is interested in acquiring this property. Because of its very poor condition, Mr. Brown is not interested in renovating the building. The HRA has discussed using CDBG money ifthe Council and HRA were interested in acquiring the property. One of the criteria for using CDBG money is making a Council Minutes (Regular) November 7,2005 Page 4 determination that the property falls under the slum and blight definition. The Building Official has determined the building is not habitable. This is an opportunity for the City to play an active role in downtown redevelopment. By combining half of the 2005 CDBG allocation with some left over from prior years, there would be more than enough money to acquire the property. The CDA says if a City or an HRA makes an offer to buy property, and ifthe offer is consistent with the county's fair market value, then the property does not need to be appraised. The HRA has offered Mr. Brown $93,200. Mr. Brown is willing to accept that amount. Staff provided Council with a Purchase Agreement for review. There is also an Easement Agreement for access across the Riste property to have access to the Larson and Exchange Bank buildings. The brick on the west wall ofthe Larson building has begun to bow out. Staffwas concerned that ifin the process of demolishing the Riste building, some of the bricks were dislodged, someone would claim the HRA was responsible. Mr. Brown has agreed to a Hold Harmless Agreement, holding the HRA harmless in the event that there is some nonstructural damage caused to the building. If structural damage is caused to the Larson building, the HRA has agreed to repair it on a 50/50 basis. Peer Environmental has done a Phase I site assessment. Of 63 samples taken, 80% contained no asbestos. There were 13 areas with asbestos. The cost for abating this, which is removing it from the property, hauling it to an approved site, and dumping it is estimated to be $12,500 - $20,000. The cost could be higher or lower depending on what else is found. If the Council approves the HRA acquiring this, staff would have Peer do a more intensive testing process. In January Council authorized staff to apply to the CDA to have some ofthe unused CDBG money combined for purposes ofthis project. That generated $70,792.06. Also in January when Council approved the CDBG allocation for 2005, Council agreed $32,750 could be used for this project. That brings the total to over $103,000. Subtracting the amount that Mr. Brown is willing to sell the property for, that leaves $10,000. This is less than the low estimate for dealing with the hazardous materials. Within the next month staffwill be discussing with Council CDBG for the next fiscal year. That information will have to go to the county in December or January. Staff expects to be able to use $30,875 from 2006 for this project so that would total $41,217 available to deal with hazardous materials and demolition. So we will have twice as much money available as needed to deal with hazardous materials. Staffhas received a preliminary estimate for demolition of $89,000. If a bid process is used, that number could come down. The City is not obligated to demolish the building in order to make the site ready for development. This can be negotiated with the developer. If Council approves this project, the staff recommendation is: 1. Council authorizes execution of the Purchase Agreement. 2. HRA executes Purchase Agreement and set closing date, possibly by December 15, 2005. 3. HRA and seller participate in closing and the HRA acquires the property. Council Minutes (Regular) November 7,2005 Page 5 4. Once the HRA owns it, the HRA could talk with the CDA about using some of next year's CDBG money for hazardous materials and/or demolition. 5. The HRA would solicit bids for the removal of hazardous materials. 6. Award contract to lowest bidder. 7. Contractor removes hazardous materials from interior of building only, not to exceed $10,342 which is the maximum money available during fiscal year 2005. 8. In the spring the EDA would develop a procedure to identify a developer. 9. Council approves a redevelopment plan. 10. The EDA enters into a contract with the developer. 11. After July 1, 2006 the contractor could remove any remaining hazardous materials. 12. The developer demolishes the building and initiates new construction. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked if any other building were in this condition, would we require them to repair it or demolish it themselves. Staff replied the building was in this condition when Mr. Brown purchased it. The building has been posted as non-habitable. This eliminated the safety hazard. If Mr. Brown wanted to keep the property and it was considered a safety hazard, the City would have the right to condemn the property and demolish it. Someone would still have these costs. City Attorney Poehler stated if it meets the requirements of the hazardous abatement procedure and they do not comply, the City would order the abatement, do the abatement and recoup the costs from the property owner. It would be a lien against the property. Councilmember Pritzlaff noted the $93,000 is for the land. Councilmember Fogarty stated the HRA looks at it that the property is worth $93,000, the building is not worth a dime. Councilmember Pritzlaffwas not comfortable with spending money for demolishing it. He was concerned with the potential of someone entering the building. Councilmember Fogarty felt people would be more curious as to what was inside if it were boarded up. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked who was liable if someone got hurt now. Staff felt Mr. Brown would be liable as the City does not currently have an ownership interest in the building. The Building Official has concluded there is no practical way to save the building. It is structurally unsound. Councilmember Wilson felt the HRA and staff have spotted an opportunity for redevelopment in an area where we want to see growing business. He asked if a cost savings could be explored if a developer was identified earlier before demolition and hazardous abatement and then the developer would pay a portion of the cost. Staff replied they could advertise the project and solicit bids, but many would ask what guarantee they have that the HRA would acquire the property and then convey it to them. Staff needs some level of indication that the City is in a position to convey the property to the HRA. Council Minutes (Regular) November 7,2005 Page 6 Councilmember Fogarty asked what the sale price was to Mr. Brown. Staff thought it was approximately $80,000. She felt the building needed to come down. Councilmember McKnight was concerned there was not a redevelopment plan, but could see we will get there. He was a little leery of the City owning another piece of property in downtown. He was disappointed we have to spend this kind of money to help out a property owner who does not hold the downtown in the same regard as the Council. He would not support this, but for the condition the building is in and the Building Official's comment that this is the worst structure in Farmington, so he would support moving forward with this because of that. Staff felt one of the advantages gained by acquiring this property and getting it out of someone else's hands, it puts us in a better bargaining position for improvements to the other two buildings. Mayor Soderberg stated by the time we pay for the building, do the abatement and demolition it will cost $195,000 - $202,000. Ifwe acquire the building it has to come down even to improve the aesthetics of downtown. Councilmember Fogarty stated she does not want it to stay for very long as is under City control. She does not want the liability. Mayor Soderberg noted Council had also discussed using some of the CDBG funds for demolition of the Blaha building. Staff stated the building will be used to store equipment until plans for a City Hall are finalized. Currently this is identified for 2007. Mayor Soderberg asked about a statement in the Hold Harmless Agreement excluding attorney's fees. City Attorney Poehler replied Mr. Brown was very adamant about not paying attorney's fees. This is also carried over into the Purchase Agreement. Finance Director Roland stated if any ofthese items end up costing more there might be a gap that would require us to find funding elsewhere to cover the cost should we not be able to find a developer to cover the cost. That is the only risk with this situation. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked if Mr. Brown has any responsibility for the costs. Finance Director Roland replied since the HRA would already have entered into a Purchase Agreement with Mr. Brown and the actual costs come in higher, there would be no responsibility on his part. There is a caveat in the Purchase Agreement concerning the environmental situation of the building. City Attorney Poehler stated there is a condition in the Purchase Agreement that would require Mr. Brown to indemnify the HRA in the event that conditions were not as he stated them to be. Community Development Director Carroll noted there is also a provision in the Purchase Agreement regarding doing further testing before the closing. If more things are found, the HRA could back out ofthe agreement with no cost. Councilmember Pritzlaff stated his initial concern is the amount of money. He asked if there was a way to delay the liability for the City until demolition. He asked what codes are in place to make someone bring the building up to standards. Staff did not feel that was possible. As long as we use CDBG funds, it does not cost the taxpayers anything.

There was a great turnout for the last game. Councilmember Wilson: Congratulated the coaches, parents, and students on the football team. Councilmember Pritzlaff: Also congratulated the football team. Police Chief Siebenaler: On Thursday, November 10,2005 the Police Department and Anna's Bananas will be sponsoring an educational forum at the High School cafeteria, on how parents can educate their own children on safety practices.

Council Minutes (Regular) November 7,2005 Page 8 City Engineer Mann: The contractor will be finishing the concrete work on Ash Street tomorrow, also sod was being placed today. The asphalt driveways will be installed next week. The project should be finished by the end of next week. Mayor Soderberg: He congratulated the football team and the City is proud of the great season the Farmington Tigers had. He had the privilege of participating in the Veteran's Day program at the Middle School on Friday. They honored our Vietnam Veterans. It was an amazing event. The people who serve are heroes. They defend our ability to meet, to protect our form of government and our citizens. He thanked all those who serve. He noted the Perkins property is on the Planning Commission agenda. The developer asked staff to bring it to the Planning Commission again. Staff contacted Mayor Soderberg and he felt 210th Street is an important connection for the City. Ifwe can facilitate this connection, he would be in favor of moving this forward. The type of development being proposed is a nice transition between the townhomes and the single family homes. Councilmember Fogarty supported this. Councilmember McKnight stated he would only support this if 21 oth Street is connected with hwy 3 in conjunction with the development and the density will have to be worked out with the Planning Commission. Councilmember Wilson stated it has to make sense with the traffic plan. 210th Street is a key road. Councilmember Pritzlaff agreed with having 21 Oth Street connected, but the density issue has to be worked out with the Planning Commission. 14.

Siebenaler, Police Chief TO: SUBJECT: Resolution accepting donation of X-26 Taser to Police Department DATE: November 21,2005 INTRODUCTION As part of the proposed 2006 budget the Farmington Police Department has proposed the purchase of Tasers for deployment with its Patrol Division. Tasers, more commonly referred to as stun guns are now standard issue for patrol officers in over 7,000 police departments around the world and are standard issue in over 1,700 departments. They have been in police service since 1998 and are proven to reduce injury to both police officer and suspects. DISCUSSION On November 4th 2005 four off-duty members of the Farmington Police Department had the opportunity to participate in a large scale study of "The Effect of Tasers on the Human Heart" conducted under medical supervision at the Hennepin County Medical Center. The purpose of the test was to record, via sonogram, the heart activity of a subject while being Tased. Four participants from Farmington were each subjected to a ten second exposure to 50,000 volts of electricity from a standard X-26 Taser. It should be noted that the normal exposure time in field use would be 5 seconds. In return for participation each test subject was compensated with an X-26 Taser, Holster and refill package valued at $1,000.

The mission of Metro WaterShed Partners is to promote a public understanding that inspires people to act to protect water quality in their watershed. Partners cooperate through educational projects, networking and sharing resources. There are many programs the Metro Watershed Partners have embarked on, one being, Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean campaign which is designed to teach Minnesotans how to protect lakes, rivers and streams from stormwater run-off pollutions. This campaign also provides materials that cities, counties and watershed educators can use to meet the public education requirement oftheir Federal and State stormwater pollution prevention plans. DISCUSSION The Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean campaign can assist the City of Farmington in meeting its educational BMP set forth in the City's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The items that will benefit the City include; the Earth Friendly Yard and Lawn Care Flyers, Presentation to City Staff, Park and Open Space Maintenance Training, and Hazardous Materials Awareness Training. The City of Farmington has also used many other brochures, handouts, and the WaterShed Exhibit produced by the Metro Watershed Partners as part of the education and outreach portion of our NPDES Phase II Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. BUDGET IMPACT The City of Farmington has used materials produced by the Metro WaterShed Partners for little or no cost. By contributing to the Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean campaign we can help ensure that their work will continue and they will be able to provide materials for the City's use. Metro WaterShed Partners are currently seeking funding to continue their Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean campaign. The annual support requested is $1,500, which would come from the City's Stormwater Fund. ACTION REQUESTED Approve the expenditure of $1 ,500 to support the Metro Watershed Partners for 2006. Respectfully submitted, Jennifer Collova Natural Resource Specialist cc: file Request for Program Participation and Support MINNESOTA WATER LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN July 5, 2005 Dear MS4 Stormwater Permit Contact, Last year at this time we appealed to MS4 Stormwater Permit holders to support Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean, a collaborative stormwater education program in the Twin Cities metro area. The program is designed to support city, township, county and watershed district stormwater education programs by providing: 1. Ready-to-use or easily adaptable educational materials through the www.cleanwatermn.org website. Materials include news articles, publications, posters, photographs, and presentations. 2. Camera-ready print ads available to local government for placement in the media. 3. Placement of stormwater messages in Twin City metro area media outlets that would be too expensive for individual MS4s to afford. The overall concept behind the Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean program is that by working collaboratively and pooling resources, more effective and consistent stormwater messages can be delivered at lower cost. Six cities and three watershed districts contributed to the Minnesota Water- Let's Keep it Clean program in 2005 for the total of $31 ,500. Our thanks to them for their commitment and support! Andover Columbia Heights Farmington Minnetonka Orono Woodbury Bassett Creek Watershed District Ramsey Washington Watershed District Vermillion River Watershed District This spring, the Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean program conducted a media campaign that shared the "use phosphorus-free lawn fertilizer" message by placing six advertisements in the Star Tribune, three advertisements in the Pioneer Press and 34 sponsorships on Minnesota Public Radio, for a total of $15,410. During the campaign, which covered the last week in April and first week in May, daily visits to the www.cleanwatermn.org website increased 66% over daily visits in March. A summary sheet of Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean activities since 2003 is being sent along with this mailing. Currently our work team is designing the fall 2005 media campaign, and an evaluation of the www.cleanwatermn.org website as a resource to MS4 staff. The remaining $16,090 in 2005 funds will be used on the fall media campaign and maintenance and expansion of the website. Page lof2 To have a sustainable program and a sizable impact in the Twin City metro area media, a greater working budget is needed. Therefore we encourage all Twin City metro area MS4s to contribute to the campaign in 2006 as their stormwater management program budget will allow. Suggested levels of annual program support based on community size are: Population Annual SUDDort Level 0-10,000 $500 10,000 - 20,000 $1,500 20,000 - 40,000 $2,500 - $3,500 40,000 - UP $3,500 - $5,000 Payment can be made to "WaterShed Partners / Hamline University" and mailed to: Center for Global Environmental Education, Hamline University 1536 Hewitt Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104 The Center for Global Environmental Education at Hamline University serves as fiscal agent for Metro WaterShed Partners. Metro WaterShed Partners is a collaboration of 40 water resource education agencies and organizations in the Twin Cities metro area. Learn about us at: cgee.hamline.edu/watershed/partners. Metro WaterShed Partners thanks the Metropolitan Council, Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for providing the initial grant funding that allowed this program to be created. An invoice form is being sent along with this letter to assist in processing your payment. Please let me know if other documentation is needed, including a personalized copy of this letter. Participants in the Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean program will receive an annual report of program activity and will be able to cite the program as a stormwater education activity on their annual Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan report.

Next steps being considered by program team: . Selection of a fall 2005 message and message delivery. Raking of fall tree leaves is likely to be message; message delivery is being explored. . Replacement of the spring message - with the state phosphorous lawn fertilizer law in place, the message to use phosphorous-free lawn fertilizer may have gain good penetration. What should be next? Sweeping grass clippings? . Analysis of message density needed to be effective in the Twin Cities metro area media market. A budget of $31 ,500 per year is real money, but may not be enough to gain measurable attention in a large metro market. . Evaluation of www.cleanwatermn.org as a useful resource for MS4 storm water educators. Is the site being used, and if so, is it meeting MS4 needs?

The Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program collects and recycles all brands of athletic shoes and makes them into a material that is used in sports surfaces like soccer and football fields, basketball and tennis courts, and tracks. Once an organization has collected 5,000 pairs of shoes, Nike provides transportation to their recycling center in Wilsonville, Oregon where the shoes are ground up into a material called "Nike Grind" which is used to build the sports surfaces. Solid Waste and Parks & Recreation staff members collaborated with LS.D 192 Community Education and School District staff to promote the program and collect shoes. The Farmington community was enthusiastic about the program and so were many people and organizations outside of Farmington. Students in Hastings and Chaska organized used shoe collections in their own schools, which they contributed to Farmington's collection. Dakota County and the cities of Burnsville, Apple Valley, and Eagan provided a used shoe collection opportunity for their employees. Runners from cities all over Minnesota have shipped or delivered their used running shoes to be included in the collection. Used athletic shoes have come from colleges as close as Northfield and as far away as Iowa. These are just a few examples of the many supporters this project has attracted. Along with City staff and School District staff who have cheerfully delivered, counted, and sorted old shoes, a number of students have generously volunteered their time to the project. As of November 16, pairs of shoes collected totals 4,635. When shoes in the collection containers and from outside organizations holding collections are received, staffis confident that the goal of collecting 5,000 pairs of shoes will be met and possibly exceeded. As a result, city and school district staff set an end date of November 30, 2005 for the collection. BUDGET IMPACT There was minimal budget impact by participating in this project. Menasha Corporation in Lakeville donated supplies and Dakota Electric Association and Aquila donated funds in support of the project. Money donated was used to purchase promotional items and advertising. The cost to ship the shoes to the Nike facility in Wilsonville, Oregon is covered by the Nike Corporation. Student volunteers and staff from ISD 192 helped sort and prepare the shoes for shipping and so while there was some City staff time involved with collecting the shoes and preparing them for shipping, there was less staff time that had. to be committed to this project than what was anticipated because of the assistance from ISD 192.

DISCUSSION Minnesota State Statutes 444.075 grants municipalities the authority to certify delinquent utility accounts to property owners' real estate taxes as a special assessment for collection. This statute provides the City with the ability to collect unpaid accounts without incurring significant administrative costs. All property owners with delinquent utility bills (over 90 days overdue) were mailed notices and may pay their delinquent amount by December 5,2005 to avoid certification. The notice advised delinquent utility customers that the City Council would consider this item on November 21, 2005 at a public hearing. BUDGET IMPACT At the time of notice, 610 accounts in the total amount of$225,915 were outstanding. Payments have been received and applied to account balances in the interim. Only those accounts with delinquent balances remaining after December 5, 2005 would be certified to the tax rolls as a one-year special assessment. ACTION REQUIRED Adopt the attached resolution certifying the delinquent accounts as special assessments to the 2006 taxes of the appropriate properties.

TO: Mayor, Councilmembers and Interim City Administrator ~ Randy Distad, Parks and Recreation Director FROM: RE: Park Master Plan Approval DATE: November 21,2005 INTRODUCTION A public input process of developing master plans for Evergreen Knoll Park, Depot Way Arts Park and Meadow Creek Third Addition Park (the Parks) and are shown in Exhibit A was 1 undertaken in July 2005. DISCUSSION Paul Paige, Lill Latham and Amy Bower from Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. (the Consultant) worked with City staff and residents of the community in developing park master plans for the Parks. The process included both staff members and resident's input being solicited through a series of three public meetings. The Consultant will be making a presentation to the City Council that summarizes the amenities identified in the plans that resulted from the public input process and will also review the estimated park improvement costs for these amenities. The first public meeting occurred on July 20, 2005. 196 households who lived within 350 feet from each of the three parks were mailed an invitation to attend the meeting to provide initial input on the development of the park master plans. Along with the invitation to attend this first public open house, residents who were unable to attend were asked to complete and return a questionnaire to City staff that solicited input about what park features they would like to see in each of the parks. In addition to the questionnaire being mailed with the invitation, residents were also informed that they could access the City's web site for the questionnaire and provide input electronically. Turnout at the meeting and returned questionnaires was low. The Consultant also worked with the Dakota Valley Arts Council on the initial input for the Depot Way Arts Park prior to the public input session. There were five DV AC members who attended this session. A second mailing that included the first draft of the park master plans, an invitation to attend the second public open house on August 17th and a questionnaire went out to the same 196 households. In addition, the first draft of the park master plans and questionnaire were posted to the City's web site for the general public and residents who lived around the park to review and provide comments on. Turn out at the second public meeting and return of questionnaires was once again low. A second draft was then prepared and notification was given to the same 196 households as the first two mailings about the presentation of the park master plans being given to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission at their October lih meeting. The PRAC at this meeting unanimously approved the three park master plans and is forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to approve them as well. BUDGET IMPACT Attached in Exhibit B are spreadsheets of park improvement cost estimates for each park that has been master planned. These estimates reflect the costs to complete the improvement in each park that were identified and developed during the public input process. Also attached is Exhibit C the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for all City parks that has been proposed for the years 2006-2010. As you can see, the estimated park improvement costs that have been identified through the park master planning process have exceeded the estimated costs that are proposed in the CIP document. Staff and the PRAC will work together to prioritize the improvements and will come back to the City Council to approve the park improvement budget for each of these parks.

An action step arising out of this goal was to update the City's facilities plan. Wold Architects and Engineers (the Consultant) was hired by the City Council to assist the City with the development of a Facilities Master Plan Study (the Study). DISCUSSION A Facilities Master Plan Study Committee (the Committee) was created that consisted of Council members David McKnight and Steve Wilson, Interim City Administrator Robin Roland, City Engineer/Public Works Director Lee Mann, Facility Maintenance Supervisor Dwight Bjerke, Police Chief Dan Siebenaler and Parks and Recreation Director Randy Distad. The Committee along with the Consultant met from August to November 2005 and as a result of these meetings has formulated a recommendation to the City Council regarding certain City facilities. John McNamara from Wold Architects and Engineers will present the results of the Study and the recommendations that the Committee is making to the City Council. Included in your packet is a copy of the Study. BUDGET IMPACT As a result of the Study, the City now has information that it can include in the Five Year Capital Improvement plan regarding estimated costs and a timeline associated with improving and/or replacing existing facilities. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend to approve the Facilities Master Plan Study. 1?:I;/!i1d, Randy Distad Parks and Recreation Director cc: John McNamara Lee Mann Dwight Bjerke Dan Siebenaler /~ ,/ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ...- ~~ ~ ~g;. ~ ~ - ~~ .7 -= ~ . ~. ...--.... - ----..- ~ r I r -... i . .

This includes snow removal equipment, repair equipment, parks maintenance equipment and general storage. As the City acquires additional equipment to meet the needs of the community, there needs to be safe and secure locations for this equipment that is easily accessible. In early 2005, the City of Farmington began internal discussions on how to deal with these growing demands. In June of 2005, the City contracted Wold Architects and Engineers to assist them in evaluating the amount of space needed for vehicles and equipment. Through discussions with City Administration, it became clear that a comprehensive review of space needs for maintenance equipment and supplies was required as well as a physical assessment of the existing facilities. This report will outline the condition of existing city facilities including the: . Ice Arena . 1 st Street Garage . Pool Building . Downtown Garage . Senior Center . Liquor Store . Blaha Property In addition, this report will discuss potential solutions that address the various issues discovered and provide a master plan for solving much needed vehicle and equipment storage. In August of 2005, a committee was formed consisting of City Council members and City staff to review the information in this report and to make recommendations on solutions for each of the facilities. Page 2 Commission No. 052071 City of FarminQton Public Facilities Study ExistinQ Facilities Condition Report Ice Arena A. The Ice Arena was originally built in 1975. Team rooms were added in the recent past. The facility is in good condition and has been well maintained, but the facility is starting to show its age. The building is approximately 30,000-sq. ft. in area. The mechanical and electrical systems are original and are at the end of their useful life expectancy. The following deficiencies were observed: Wold Architects and EnQineers November 21 , 2005 Site 1. The main entrance is handicap accessible and the street is properly marked. 2. The front sidewalk is cracked and settled over the years and should be replaced. 3. The parking lot is worn and should have an overlay or milling. Exterior 1. The roof is a curved metal roof with no reported leaks or issues. 2. During the winter, ice builds up on the roof and falls off causing safety concerns. 3. There is no vestibule at either entrance. This lets in cold air in the winter and warm humid air in the summer. 4. The precast wall panels need re-caulking. 5. There is a moisture infiltration problem on the team room addition that is causing deterioration of the exterior wall. 6. The exterior doors of the facility were replaced recently. Interior 1. The interior finishes of the 1975 ~ L building are painted and in good condition. 2. The main office finishes are in poor condition and there is a lack of storage. The maintenance office is small. 3. Skate sharpening occurs in the main office. A separate space should be made to accommodate this function. 4. The rubber floor is in good condition. 5. The team rooms are too small for high school sports, but suffice for younger kids. 'tl.b 6. There is a moisture problem in the team room addition. The source has not been identified. Typically this occurs at the roof termination. Testing may be needed to determine the source of the water leak. ..... Page 3 Commission No. 052071 Wold Architects and EnQineers November 21 , 2005 Citv of FarminQton Public Facilities Study Interior (cont.) 7. The paint on the walls in the team rooms and in the hallway is deteriorated due to the moisture problem. 8. The concessions stand on the mezzanine level is in poor condition. The work surfaces are plastic laminate and are delaminated in some locations. 9. The bleacher capacity is 750 and the bleachers are in good condition. 10. The floor under the ice rink will need to be removed to allow for replacement of the under floor refrigeration piping. ," Accessibility 1. An accessible ramp has been installed for access to the main bleachers. There is no ramp to the other bleachers. 2. There is no accessible hardware in the 1975 building. 3. There is no accessible access to the upper mezzanine that has the concessions stand. 4. The main toilets have been adapted for accessibility, but do not meet current codes. 5. There is no accessible counter to the main office. I I Hazardous Materials 1. No asbestos containing materials were observed. This building was built near the end of use of asbestos in facilities. Testing of the mechanical joint insulation may be needed as part of any major remodel. Mechanical Systems 1. The mechanical systems are original and with the exception of normal maintenance, replacement has not occurred. 2. The ice making equipment is also original and is near the end of its useful life. 3. The cooling tower is 30 year old and leaks. 4. There is inadequate dehumidification. Lack of dehumidification can cause condensation on surfaces leading to deterioration. Page 4 Commission No. 052071 Citvof FarminQton Public Facilities Study Electrical Systems \. 1. The electrical systems are original and have not been upgraded. With any major renovation, the electrical equipment should be upgraded and brought up to current codes. First Street Garage The First Street Garage was the first public works facility for the city and was in use until completion of the new facility at the North Municipal Campus. Parks and Recreation, Forestry and Streets and Utilities are currently using the building for vehicle storage since the new Maintenance Facility was constructed at the North Municipal Site. Construction is typically concrete block at the exterior with some sheet rock walls at the interior where there were old offices. There is one toilet in the facility. Currently two new unit heater are being installed. The concrete floor is in poor condition, stained and broken. The building is in poor condition and will need significant repair work to continue as a storage facility of the city. These repairs include: . New exterior concrete. . A new roof. . Exterior block repair and caulking. . Overhead door replacement. . Concrete floor replacement. . Windows and doors. . New mechanical and electrical equipment Wold Architects and EnQineers November 21, 2005 t Page 5 Commission No. 052071 City of FarminQton Public Facilities Study Pool Building The pool building was built to serve the outdoor pool. The building consists of two locker rooms with showers/ lockers and toilets, a concessions area, first aid/ lifeguard station and exterior toilets that serve the adjacent park. The pool concrete liner is in poor condition and is a maintenance problem due to ongoing maintenance and leaking. The concrete pool deck is in poor condition and should be replaced with any upgrade project. The pool mechanical consists of two heater, two pumps and the sand filter. The equipment is functional, but is near the end of its expected life. Wold Architects and Enclineers November 21 , 2005 The building is wood frame construction, exposed concrete floors, wood siding, lay-in ceilings in the concessions area and exposed ceilings elsewhere. There is limited accessibility compliance in the facility. The diving boards and umbrellas were recently replaced. The roof is wood shingle construction. Given its age and construction type (wood frame), this building should be replaced long-term. Upgrades and repairs long-term will not be cost effective. Barn The barn is of undetermined age and is only being utilized for large property storage including: . Stolen/ reclaimed bikes. . Parks and Recreation storage for tractors and gators. . Park maintenance supplies. The building was modified (upper floor removed) to allow for larger equipment. There is no mechanical ventilation for this building. Similar to the pool building, the construction type and age will affect usage and repair. Long-term this building should be replaced. Upgrades and repairs long-term will not be cost effective. Page 6 Commission No. 052071 City of FarminQton Public Facilities Study Blaha Property The Blaha property was purchased by the City as part of the long term plan to construct a new city hall on this site. The building was previously a private repair facility and consists of a large repair space, administrative offices and storage. The building is block exterior bearing walls with wood joists supported by steel beams. The interior is block construction between the repair garage and the administrative area and gypsum board construction in other areas. The ceiling panels in numerous locations are falling down and staff have removed some walls to accommodate other activities. Wold Architects and EnQineers November 21, 2005 Parks and Recreation are using the building for equipment storage and one storage area is being used for storage of historic fire engines. The other large area is being used for special projects, current use is for recycling tennis shoes and assembly of park benches. The exterior yard is used for impounded vehicles. Senior Center This building was purchased by the City in the early 1980's and was renovated after purchase to accommodate the seniors program. The building is 50 to 60 years old and is located in a downtown storefront. The facility has various size rooms for flexibility. These rooms are rented for social events. The facility has a kitchen. The interior of the facility is in good condition and well maintained. The roof was replaced 5 years ago. There was recent damage to the rear of the facility due to a care accident. This is scheduled for repair shortly. Accessibility hardware should be installed at the main entrance. The furnaces were replaced 2-3 years ago. Minimal work will be needed for this facility to maintain its current use other than normal maintenance. Page 7 Commission No. 052071 City of FarminQton Public Facilities Study Downtown Park! Engineering Storage Building Prior to the completion of the Maintenance Facility, this facility was used for vehicle storage. The building is contiguous with the existing city hall site in downtown. It is currently being used for inspections and engineering vehicle storage as well as storage for engineering and other city records. The building is of block construction with gypsum board partitions creating storage and office space. Similar to the streets garage, the building is in poor condition and will need significant repair work to continue as a storage facility of the city. These repairs include: . Exterior concrete repair. . A new roof. . Exterior block repair and caulking. . Overhead door replacement. . Concrete floor replacement. . Interior partitions. . New mechanical and electrical equipment Liquor Store This building was purchased by the City and was renovated after purchase to accommodate the liquor store. Similar to other buildings in this area, the building is 50 to 60 years old and is located in a downtown storefront. Previous to being a liquor store, this building was a local bar establishment. A detailed evaluation of this facility was not done. A new municipal liquor store is currently under construction at a new location. No additional work is needed at this location.

Other than normal maintenance and replacement of systems, the building can continue to serve as an ice arena well into the future. There are other discussions and committee meetings occurring that could provide ice skating facilities at alternate locations. These include: . Constructing an ice rink (or multiple rinks) with the future community center. . Constructing ice facilities in conjunction with the future high school project. . Adding an additional sheet of ice connected to the current facility. Discussions with the Committee suggested alternate uses for the current facility should ice skating facilities be constructed elsewhere. These include: . Public works vehicle storage. . Large venue community meeting space (conventions/ shows). The committee requested an evaluation of potential construction cost for repairing the facility. The following is based on our field observations: Site $ 62~,000 . Replace front sidewalk. . Mill and overlay parking area. Exterior . Add snow jacks to roof to prevent ice build-up .

This facility is approximately 5,000 square feet in size and is being utilized for significant parks and recreation storage. Discussions with the committee indicated two strategies for this facility: 1. The site could be sold and the proceeds applied to a new site in another part of town. 2. The existing building could be demolished and a new storage facility could be constructed to meet the needs of the down town area. After further discussions on potential re-use and value to the city, the committee is recommending keeping this site for storage of equipment and supplies to meet the needs of the down town area. It was agreed that the current building is a liability due to its age and the amount of repairs and renovation needed to meet the needs of the city. A program was developed specific to the equipment and supplies needed. A copy of this program is included in the report. The committee also requested a study of the property to indicate how it might be re-used and what the potential cost would be. This study is also included. Pool Building This facility also needs significant financial investment not only in constructing a new facility servicing the clients going to this facility, but also improvements need to be made to the pool structure itself. Discussions with staff indicate a master plan for this park is in process that may suggest elimination of the pool if an indoor pool is constructed as part of the Community Center that is currently being studied. Current community input would suggest that if there were a pool elsewhere in the community, some other type of feature would be acceptable at this site. One suggestion is to replace the pool with a water feature such as a splash park. The cost analysis presented later in this report includes the cost for repair of the pool shell and costs for constructing a new pool building with lockers, toilets, concessions and storage. The cost to reconstruct this park into another use should be included in the Parks Master Plan. Page 12 Commission No. 052071 City of Farminaton Public Facilities Study Barn Wold Architects and Enaineers November 21 , 2005 As discussed earlier, this facility is at the end of its useful life and needs significant financial investment to not only maintain current usage, but to improve on the existing condition. This facility is 2,300 square feet in size and is being utilized for significant storage for various departments. Upgrading this facility would not be cost effective. Demolition of this building should be considered and adding storage at an alternative location should be considered. Blaha Property Long-term plans for this facility suggest that it will be demolished to make room for a new city hall located in downtown. As planning for this facility moves forward, consideration for the current storage located at this facility, as well as the impound storage, needs to be considered. There is approximately 7,500 square feet of storage being used at this facility. In addition, the outdoor fenced area is being used as an impound lot for police. This fenced area is approximately 7,000 square feet in area. Discussions with the committee would suggest that this storage should be accommodated elsewhere in the city. Current recommendations provides for this storage at the 1st Street site. Other discussions also suggested that prior to demolition of the current facility, this new storage facility at the 1 st Street site should be completed. Senior Center The current Community Center study is planning for a new Senior Center at the new facility. Upon completion of the new Community Center, the existing facility would become available for other uses. The existing facility is approximately 5,000 square feet in area. Discussions with the committee indicated that this facility could be sold as an investment and the proceeds invested in new city facilities. Downtown Parks! Engineering Garage As discussed earlier, this facility needs significant financial investment to not only maintain current usage, but to improve on the existing condition. This facility is approximately 5,500 square feet in size and is being utilized for significant parks and recreation storage. Discussions with the committee indicated centralizing storage at a singular location would enhance operations. This site like the 1st Street site is central to the downtown area and could be utilized for storage of equipment and supplies to serve downtown. It was also discussed that this site has more potential for redevelopment than the 1 st Street site and therefore should be preserved for other purposes. Liquor Store Currently a new facility is being constructed in downtown to accommodate the liquor store. Upon completion of the new Community Center, the existing facility would become available for other uses.

Page 22 Commission No. 052071 City of Farminaton Public Facilities Study Committee Recommendation Wold Architects and Enaineers November 21,2005 The Public Facilities Committee is pleased to present recommendations that will address long term storage needs for city maintenance equipment and general storage. The committee through numerous meetings and review of the information in this report recommend the following: Ice Arena: Pool Facility: Rambling River Center: It is recommended to continue to provide ongoing deferred maintenance at the facility. It is recommended to budget for replacement of aging equipment in future budget cycles. The Community Center Study Committee has discussed, as part of the concept plan for a new community center, the possibility of setting aside land for a new indoor ice facility to be constructed at a later date. Similar to the Ice Arena, it is recommended to continue to provide ongoing deferred maintenance as needed. It is recommended to budget for replacement of the pool liner and the pool building in future budget cycles. The City has currently undertaken a park master planning process for Evergreen Knoll Park, which addresses the long term vision for the outdoor pool. Discussions with staff regarding the current pool suggest that replacing the pool with a splash park would be acceptable to residents if a pool was built as part of a Community Center. Similar to the Ice Arena and the Pool Facility recommendations, it is recommended to continue to provide ongoing deferred maintenance as needed. Further it is recommended to budget for replacement of the aging mechanical equipment in future budget cycles. The Community Center Study Committee has discussed as part of a concept plan for a new community center, to include space for a senior lounge. It appears that this approach of replacing the Rambling River Center with space in a community center for older adults would be an acceptable alternative to continuing using the Rambling River Center for older adult programs. 1 st Street Garage: It is recommended to demolish the current aged facility located on this site and to construct a new 4,000 square foot facility for storage of equipment and supplies for maintenance of the downtown area. Included would be a new fenced impound yard for Police. Construction of this facility would allow for demolition of the buildings located at the Blaha property in preparation for the future City Hall master planned for this site. Funding for this new storage facility is included in the 2006 CIP. New Storage Bid: It is recommended to defer construction of a new storage facility for an undetermined time. The committee recommends construction of the expansion of the current maintenance facility located at the Municipal Campus as planned in 2009. This would provide adequate storage for city vehicles and equipment located at the downtown garage and at other locations. Completion of the future City Hall, and vacation of the current downtown garage, would allow for redevelopment of the current City Hall site.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: 2l0th Street Corridor Preservation Issues DATE: November 21,2005 INTRODUCTION The City has identified the connection of existing 2l0th Street to Trunk Highway 3 (via the former railroad right-of-way) as an important transportation connection. As there is development pending along the proposed corridor, the issue of preserving the right-of-way needs to be addressed DISCUSSION The 2l0th Street connection to Trunk Highway 3 is necessary to serve future traffic that will be generated from properties located in the southeastern region of the City. There are two properties that abut the proposed alignment. The City will ultimately need to acquire right-of-way from the owners of the two properties in question. The easterly property is the Perkins property. Bridgeland Development has submitted a concept plan for the Perkins property that is currently under review. This concept incorporates the extension of 210th Street westerly towards Trunk Highway 3. The road would be constructed to the westerly border of the Perkins property as part of the residential development proposed by Bridgeland. We have attached a copy of the staff memo that the Planning Commission reviewed at its meeting on November 8 regarding the Bridgeland concept plan ("Sunrise Ponds"). This Memo includes a map and additional background information regarding the importance of establishing a 2l0th Street connection to Trunk Highway 3. The westerly property is owned by Patrick Regan. Mr. Regan recently indicated to City staff that he has discussions in progress with a prospective tenant for the former bus terminal property. This tenant would utilize most or all of the site, including the former railroad right-of-way area, for a storage-type business. Mr. Regan has therefore preliminarily indicated that he would prefer that 21 Oth Street not come through his property, due to the potential loss of rentable space for his prospective tenant. Although we agree that this potential outcome must be considered, City staff members also believe that the value and long-term development potential of Mr. Regan's property would be significantly enhanced by the creation of frontage along a major east-west connection, which would result in improved access and visibility. . It is staff's recommendation, based on the importance of this connection, that Council consider its options to preserve the right-of-way for 210th Street. Generally speaking, there are three ways to preserve the right-of-way. The first is to come to an agreement with the property owner that guarantees that the City can obtain the desired right-of-way in the future when it is needed. Based on recent discussions with Mr. Regan, staff feels that this may not currently be a viable option, although we are certainly prepared to continue discussing it with him. Second, the City could employ a procedure called "Official Mapping". A copy of the Minnesota statute (Minn. Stat. Sec. 462.359) that outlines this process is attached hereto. The primary benefit of the official mapping process is that it discourages the construction of buildings within the mapped area. However, "non-structure" improvements (paved parking areas, private streets and driveways, etc.) could still theoretically be made within the mapped area, and the mapping process (by itself) would not actually result in the City obtaining the desired right-of-way. Third, the City could use its powers of eminent domain and condemn the right-of-way at this time. This will be the only way to obtain the desired right-of-way if the property owner is unwilling to voluntarily convey it to the City. BUDGET IMPACT None at this time. ACTION REQUESTED Council discussion of the issue, followed by direction to staff regarding specific action steps to preserve or obtain the right-of-way for the connection of210th Street to Trunk Highway 3. Lee M. Mann, P .E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer cc: file City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651)463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission ltpl/ FROM: Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner SUBJECT: Sunrise Ponds Concept Plan - Perkins Property DATE: November 8, 2005 INTRODUCTION Neal Krzyzaniak of Bridgeland Development Company has submitted the attached revised concept plan for the Perkins property, which is located east of Trunk Highway 3, west of Cambodia Avenue and north of Bristol Square (Exhibit A). At its meeting on September 13, 2005, the Planning Commission reviewed a concept plan for this site that proposed 174 multi-family units (townhomes). The revised concept that has been attached for your review proposes 110 single-family "Villa Units". I have attached, as Exhibit B, the proposed building elevations for this development. The process for submitting a concept plan is outlined in the City's Subdivision Ordinance and allows the Planning Commission to provide comments prior to preliminary plat submittal. DISCUSSION The property in question consists of two separate parcels of land owned by Neil and Linda Perkins. Both of the parcels are currently located in Empire Township. The two parcels, combined, include approximately 17 acres. The City has received a petition for annexation from Mr. and Mrs. Perkins. In keeping with past practice, the proposed annexation will be discussed with Empire Township representatives as soon as a concept plan exists that appears to be generally acceptable to the Planning Commission and/or City Council. Staffwants to emphasize that this matter will not proceed beyond the "concept review" stage until the annexation issue has been properly addressed with Empire Township. The City has agreed to accept, review and comment on the concept plan, in part, to help provide Empire Township officials with the information that they will need to review the annexation issue and determine whether they are interested in signing a Joint Resolution regarding the annexation in question. Concept Plan Review The Developer, Bridgeland Development Company, proposes to construct 110 detached townhomes (single-family units; please note attached elevations) on 17.09 acres with a density of 6.44 units an acre. Bridgeland is proposing a detached single-family subdivision with lot widths ranging from thirty-six (36') to forty-six (46') feet. The setbacks for the single-family homes are proposed at twenty (20') feet in the front, six (6') feet on the side, and ten (10') feet in the rear yards. If the concept plan is approved, the Developer will be requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to designate the property as "low/ medium" density. The developer will also request that the property be rezoned to an R-2 (Low/Medium Density) designation. Inasmuch as the proposed lot widths do not meet the minimum requirement of sixty (60') feet within an R-2 zoning district, the property would have to be platted as a Planned Unit Development. Transportation The development is located adjacent to one existing roadway - Cambodia Avenue. The concept plan proposes a westerly extension of 21 oth Street through the northern portion of the site. The traffic generated by the development of this site will utilize, at least temporarily, Cambodia Avenue and 213th for access to and from Trunk Highway 3. The increase in traffic created from the development of this site, and from the anticipated development of nearby properties, will put additional stress on the intersection of 213th Street and TH 3, thereby making the 210th connection to Highway 3 critical for the future development of the east side of Farmington (See attached memo from the City's Transportation consultant). The attached map illustrates the importance of the 210th Street connection to Highway 3. Although 213 th Street would initially appear to the be most logical east/west connection between Highway 3 and the future extension of Biscayne Avenue, the intersection of 213th Street and Highway 3 is only one block from the existing signalized intersection at Elm Street and Highway 3. MNDoT has therefore indicated that the 213th/Highway 3 intersection will probably never be signalized, and in fact, it will probably have to be converted to a right-in, right-out intersection at some point. In addition, details regarding the crossing of the Prairie Waterway on the east side of Cambodia Avenue remain unresolved at present. Potential problems also exist with respect to a potential future Spruce Street connection between Highway 3 and the future extension of Biscayne Avenue. As with 213th Street, the preferred method of crossing the Prairie Waterway and the funding required for that Spruce Street crossing have not yet been determined. Questions also still exist regarding whether the west side of the Spruce/Highway 3 intersection can or will be opened to through traffic. If that doesn't happen, the intersection of Spruce and Highway 3 will (like 213th Street) be something less than a full intersection. In contrast, the intersection of 210th Street and Highway 3 has the potential of being a full intersection, and one that can be signalized as soon as traffic warrants are met. The creation of this new signalized intersection could lead to redevelopment activity at the northwest and southwest comers of that intersection. Eastbound traffic on the new 210th Street could cross Highway 3 and then take Willow Street and 4th Street to get into the heart of the downtown area. The construction of 210th Street along the southern border of the former bus garage property would help "open up" that property (and the small pocket of adjacent residential properties) for new development, and could ultimately enable MNDoT and the City to close the problematic Highway 3/Chippendale Court intersection (i.e., the former access to the bus garage property). The proposed 210th Street connection between Highway 3 and Cambodia Avenue, and the partial completion of Cambodia Avenue's "missing link" between 210th Street and 20gth Street, will help provide westerly and northerly accesses that may be needed for the development of the Devney and Winkler parcels. The development of those parcels will, in turn, help complete a portion ofBiscayne Avenue's "missing link" between 210th Street and 225th Street. When that link is completed, Biscayne will be a continuous, straight roadway between Northfield on the south and Rosemount on the north, and as such it will gradually begin to assume an increasingly important role as a north/south alternative to Highway 3 (especially as portions of Biscayne Avenue begin to get paved in connection with adjacent development). The City's Transportation Engineer has indicated that both 2l0th Street and Cambodia Avenue should be classified as collector streets and should be constructed to that standard (70 feet of right-of-way), and that on-street parking along both sides of the streets should be prohibited. The concept plan currently shows Cambodia Avenue with a sixty-six (66') foot right-of-way. This will have to be revised to show the required seventy (70') feet of right-of-way. The internal roads are proposed to be twenty-four (24') foot wide private streets. It appears that these private roadways are adequate to serve this site. In addition, there is a sixteen (16') foot wide alleyway that bisects the inner block of this development. It is proposed that the garages for the homes within this block will access onto this alleyway. MUSA Extension/Utilities At this time the property is not identified on the City's adopted MUSA Phasing Plan. The property owners were apparently not yet actively considering development when the MUSA Review Committee was meeting during 2004. The City's MUSA Review Committee will have to reconvene to determine if MUSA can or should be made available to this site. It should be noted that the number one criterion identified for MUSA expansion is "proximity of transportation corridors". As mentioned above in the transportation section of this memorandum, the 210th Street connection to Trunk Highway 3 is pivotal for the future development of the east side of Farmington. The MUSA Phasing Plan that was adopted on November 15, 2004 is not necessarily a long-range planning tool. It is a "snapshot in time" that depicts only those property owners who expressed an interest in development immediately before or during the MUSA Review Committee's deliberations. Sanitary sewer service to this development is located to the west of the property. There will need to be coordination with adjoining property owne~ to make this connection. Additionally, water service is located to the west and southeast of the property. The watermain will be required to be looped at both locations. Again, coordination with adjoining property owners will be required in order to make these connections. There is at least one well and one septic system on site that will have to abandoned with this development. The concept plan does not provide for any onsite ponding for stormwater management. Staff has discussed this concept with the City's stormwater engineer and he has indicated that no onsite treatment is required for this development because the Wausau Pond located to the west of this property was expanded a year ago to function as a regional water quality pond. However, he did indicate that the existing pond/ditch located just to the south of the property's southern boundary will have to be expanded in conjunction with this development. This pond expansion may have some impact to the location of Street C. Park and Trail Requirements Randy Distad, the Parks and Recreation Director, has stated that based on the size of the development he would recommend to the Parks and Recreation Committee that the City take cash-in-lieu of park property from the applicant. Trails and sidewalks will be required in conjunction with this development. The Developer has proposed (Exhibit C) placing the required trails off the Perkins property and on the City owned property adjacent to the stormwater ponds. Staff is generally okay with this proposal provided the Developer pay for the construction of the trails. h1 addition to the trails, a five (5') foot wide concrete sidewalk is proposed on the southern side of 2 10th Street. Homeowners' Association The internal streets (streets A, B, C, D, E, F) and the alleyway will be privately owned and are planned to be narrower than a typical City street. A Homeowners' Association or some other form of governing body will therefore have to oversee the snow plowing within this development. Miscellaneous The developer has provided City staff with some market value information (see attached) regarding a "detached townhome" development on Bloomfield Path in Rosemount. This information will give you some insight into "price points" and resale value. ACTION REQUESTED Provide comments to the applicant regarding the attached concept plan.

Subdivision 1. Statement of purpose. Land that is needed for future street purposes or for aviation purposes and as sites for other necessary public facilities and services is frequently diverted to nonpublic uses that could have been located on other lands without hardship or inconvenience to the owners. When this happens, public uses of land may be denied or may be obtained later only at prohibitive cost or at the expense of dislocating the owners and occupants of the land. Identification on an official map of land needed for future public uses permits both the public and private property owners to adjust their building plans equitably and conveniently before investments are made that will make adjustments difficult to accomplish. Subd. 2. Adoption. After the planning agency has adopted a major thoroughfare plan and a community facilities plan, it may, for the purpose of carrying out the policies of the major thoroughfare plan and community facilities plan, prepare and recommend to the governing body a proposed official map covering the entire municipality or any portion thereof. The governing body may, after holding a public hearing, adopt and amend the official map by ordinance. A notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing shall be published in the official newspaper of the municipality at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing. The official map or maps shall be prepared in sufficient detail to permit the establishment of the future acquisition lines on the ground. In unplatted areas a minimum of a centerline survey shall have been made prior to the preparation of the final draft of the official map. The accuracy of the future acquisition lines shown on the official map shall be attested to by a licensed land surveyor. After adoption, a copy of the official map, or sections thereof with a copy of the adopting ordinance attached shall be recorded with the county recorder as provided in sections 462.351 to 462.364. Subd. 3. Effect. After an official map has been adopted and filed, the issuance of building permits by the municipality is subject to this section. Whenever any street or highway is widened or improved or any new street is opened, or interests in lands for other public purposes, including aviation purposes, are acquired by the municipality, it is not required in such proceedings to pay for any building or structure placed without a permit or in violation of conditions of a permit within the limits of the mapped street or outside of any building line that may have been established upon the existing street or within any area thus identified for public purposes. The adoption of an official map does not give the municipality any right, title, or interest in areas identified for public purposes thereon, but the adoption of the map does authorize the municipality to acquire interests without paying compensation for buildings or structures erected in those areas without a permit or in violation of the conditions of a permit. Subd. 4. Appeals. If a land use or zoning permit or approval for a building in such location is denied, the board of appeals and adjustments shall have the power, upon appeal filed with it by the owner of the land, to grant a permit or approval for building in such location in any case in which the board finds, upon the evidence and the arguments presented to it, (a) that the entire property of the appellant of which such area identified for public purposes forms a part cannot yield a reasonable return to the owner unless such a permit or approval is granted, and (b) that balancing the interest of the municipality in preserving the integrity of the official map and of the comprehensive municipal plan and the interest of the owner of the property in the use of the property and in the benefits of ownership, the grant of such permit or approval is required by considerations of justice and equity. In addition to the notice of hearing required by section 462.354, subdivision 2, a notice shall be published in the official newspaper once at least ten days before the day of the hearing. If the board of appeals and adjustments authorizes the issuance of a permit or approval the governing body or other board or commission having jurisdiction shall have six months from the date of the decision of the board to institute proceedings to acquire such land or interest therein, and if no such proceedings are started within that time, the officer responsible for issuing permits or approvals shall issue the permit or approval if the application otherwise conforms to local ordinances. The board shall specify the exact location, ground area, height and other details as to the extent and character of the building for which the permit or approval is granted.

Some of the topics that were addressed at that time were discussed again at a City Council workshop meeting that was held on October 26, 2005. This memo will summarize relevant portions of those two past discussions, and provide (for discussion purposes) further information regarding staffs proposed handling of certain types of pending or anticipated development concept plans. A. CONCEPT REVIEW PROCESS (SOUTHEAST REGION) The aforementioned discussions that took place on October 19 and October 26 included questions about the desired or preferred processing of concept plans, especially with regard to the timing or sequencing of the required steps in the review/approval process. More specifically, questions were asked about whether concept plans should be reviewed for parcels that are not within the City, or that have not previously been involved in the MUSA review process, or that do not have Comprehensive Plan designations or City zoning classifications. It was suggested to the City Council at its October 26 meeting that the answers to the preceding questions may depend upon the locations of the parcels in question. We have prepared a map (attached) that divides the area east of Highway 3 and south of 220th Street/Highway 50 into two zones. The characteristics of, or differences between, the two zones include the following: Primarily City parcels Primarily small (under 20 acres) Many, relatively speakin Yes (Ash Street Project - Orderly Annexation Agreement) Close Minor Existing residential, commercial and industrial Primarily Townshi arcels Primarily larger (over 60 acres) Few, relatively speaking No (discussions are in progress with Em ire and Castle Rock) More distant Potentiall major Primarily agricultural At this stage, it may be appropriate for the City Council to consider the possibility of adopting a concept review policy that takes into consideration the distinctions between the properties located within Zone A and Zone B. Any such policy could, in effect, represent a "formalization" of the factors that City staff members have previously considered in connection with developments such as the Hometown Addition. More specifically, the proposed processing sequences for Zones A and B are as follows: Step One Review/Approve Concept Plan! Step Two Review/Approve Joint Resolution re: Annexation Petition (ifrequired)3 Step Three Review/Approve MUSA request (By City Council if under 5 acres; by MUSA Review Committee, Planning Commission and City Council if over 5 acres )5 Adopt Comprehensive Plan designation and zonin classification Met Council review/approval of Comprehensive Plan Amendment (MUSA and land use) Step Four Step Five Step Six Review/Approve Preliminary Plat Step Seven Review/Approve Final Plat nla nla Preliminary Review of Concept Plan (if desired b owner/develo er 2 Finish System Plan Updates (surface water management plan, sanitary sewer plan, water distribution plan)4 Final Review/Approval of Concept Plan Review/Approve Joint Resolution re: Annexation Petition (ifrequired)6 Review/Approve MUSA request (By City Council if under 5 acres; by MUSA Review Committee, Planning Commission and City Council if over 5 acres) Adopt Comprehensive Plan designation and zonin classification7 Met Council review/approval of Comprehensive Plan Amendment (MUSA and land use) Review/ A rove Prelimin Plat Review/ A rove Final Plat ! The City's current practice is to not process an annexation petition or discuss it informally with the affected Township until City staff members believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that proposed development will receive all required City approvals. Minnesota state statutes provide that annexation should not take place until development is "imminent." 2 The scope and complexity of concept plans for the larger Zone B parcels may warrant a "two-stage" concept review process. It may be possible and useful to discuss some general parameters (example: relative proportions of single family detached and multi-family housing) for development even before the system plan updates are completed. 3 The City's preference is for Orderly Annexation Agreements and Joint [City/Township] Resolutions regarding annexation, rather than annexations by ordinance (which is the procedure through which properties are annexed despite the Township's opposition). 4 The completion of the system plan updates does not need to be a prerequisite to the consideration or approval of concept plans for Zone A parcels. Most, if not all, of the Zone A parcels are covered by the City's existing system plans, and the development of the (relatively smaller) Zone A parcels would have a negligible impact on City's systems. Conversely, many of the Zone B parcels are not covered by one or more of City's existing system plans, and development of the (relatively larger) Zone B parcels would have a significant impact on the City's systems. 5 Steps 3 and 4 could potentially be reversed in some cases, but the City must make a formal MUSA decision and a formal land use decision before Met Council approval is sought. 6 See footnote #1 above. 7 Steps 5 and 6 could potentially be reversed in some cases, but the City must make a formal MUSA decision and a formal land use decision before Met Council approval is sought. This proposed "sequencing" of development plans for parcels located in the southeast region of the Farmington/Empire Township/Castle Rock Township area was discussed by the Planning Commission at its meeting on December 13, 2005. The Planning Commission members indicated that they agreed with and would support a formally adopted concept review policy that included the proposed "sequencing. " B. MUL TI-F AMIL Y AND MEDIUM- TO-HIGH DENSITY HOUSING -- Criteria The other major topic that arose during the October 19 workshop meeting, and that remains somewhat unclear, deals with the circumstances under which multi-family or medium-to-high density residential development can or should be considered. City staff members are assuming that any propenies that are located within the City limits, and that are currently zoned R-3, R-4 or R-5, can be developed in a manner consistent with those zoning classifications. However, areas have been (and will continue to be) proposed for residential development that do not currently have residential zoning classifications, either because they have not yet been annexed or because they were automatically given an A-I zoning classification upon annexation. The City does not cWTently have a formally adopted or generally accepted set of criteria that can be considered in order to help determine where and when multi-family or medium-to-high density housing would be appropriate or acceptable. Accordingly, we are proposing the following set of criteria for the Planning Commission and City Council to consider: 1 Is the proposed development located near existing or proposed major transportation corridors? 2 Will the approval of the proposed development complete, or contribute to the completion of, a necessa or desired roadway connection? 3 Is the proposed development located near commercial or industrial uses, or existin multi-family or medium-to-high densi housin? 4 Are there unusual or extraordinary infrastructure costs associated with the pro osed project? (Brid es, collector or arterial roadways, etc.) 5 Are there physical features present (wetlands, floodplains, high water tables, stl~ep slopes, power lines, gas lines, railroads, etc.) that render the property in uestion less suitable for low densi residential develo ment? 6 Does the size of the proposed development make the inclusion of a higher- density component desirable? (Suggestion: indicate that a higher-density component is desired for projects of up to 40 acres, and required for projects of 80 acres or more.) 7 Does the proposed project assist the City in achieving its general goal of " .roviding a varie of housing types for peo Ie in all stages of life?" 8 Does the proposed project assist the City in achieving its Livable Communities Housing Goals regarding affordabili and density? 9 Will the proposed development provide more benefits (customer base, affordable housing for employees, etc.) for existing and planned commercial areas than lower density housing would rovide? In theory, a project that satisfies many ofthese criteria would be appropriate for multi-family or mediwn-to-high density development, and a project that satisfies none (or few) of these criteria would be less suitable for that type of development. However, it should be emphasized that the proposed criteria are not intended to serve as a "litmus test" that would automatically dictate what type of residential development would have to (or could not) occur on any given parcel of property. Rather, the criteria would merely serve as a guide or tool to help property owners, developers, their consultants and th(~ general public better understand the City's general intentions, preferences or expectations regarding which locations may be more appropriate than others for multi-family and medium-to-high density residential development. This information would be especially helpful for those who are currently engaged in preparing concept plans that will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council later this year and/or during 2006. The proposed criteria in question were discussed by the Planning Commission at its meeting on November 8, 2005. At that time, the Planning Commission members indicated that they would support the criteria as long as it was understood that the criteria were intended to be a general, flexible guide rather than a rigid formula. ACTION REQUESTED 1. Approve the concept review policy (including the proposed sequencing of development plans) set forth above with respect to properties located within Zones A and B. 2.
