In the face of rapid change,the first recourse of a nation,an institution or an individual is the ability to learn quickly. WHEREAS, one in five Minnesotans cannot read; more than 9,000 persons in northwestern Dakota County have not finished high school; many more are functionally illiterate—or functioning below a ninth grade level in math, reading,writing skills;and many refugees and immigrants require English Uteracy Training. WHEREAS, the future requires a work force that has learned how to learn: by the year 2000,65%of jobs will require education beyond high school, and only 4%of new jobs can be filled by people with the lowest skills; WHEREAS, learning is a lifelong activity,necessary to function successfully at home,at work and in relationships, beginning in infancy,fostered by literate parents, and continuous throughout a lifetime of change and growth. WHEREAS, adult learners bring with them life experiences, needs for childcare,easy access to sites,free or low cost classes,and a yearning to participate more fully in and not merely be clients of a rapidly changing society. WHEREAS, Minnesota Valley ABE Project is a consortium of Community Education Departments of school districts 191, 192, 194, 195,and 196 which provides free classes to adults, 16 and older,who are not currently enrolled in school.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS OF: According to the 1980 census, there were 9,000 adults living within the Project's service Burnsville-Eagan- area who had not completed high school.

A parcel's contribution is determined by size and land use under the principal that a parcel should pay for past, present and future storm sewer improvements necessary to meet the needs of the parcel. The fees are set forth in the Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan dated September, 1985 (Storm Water Area) and policy dated September, 1989 (Storm Water Utility) . Storm water utility fees are based on size and land use on the basis that more intense land use pay a higher fee. Utility fees are paid by all developed property on a quarterly basis. Storm water area charges are paid at the time of development to help offset stormwater improvements associated with the development of the property, and are based by land use on a per acre rate. Presently, the Water Area Charges only address developments associated with platting. Therefore, a policy is required which addresses development not associated with platting. When adopted, this policy will be incorporated as part of the Farmington Stormwater Drainage Plan. POLICY STATEMENT The purpose of this policy is to set forth the basis of fees and charges relating to past, present and future stormwater improvements necessary to serve anticipated land use for development activities not related to the platting of property. AFFECTED DEVELOPMENTS A. A Stormwater Area Charge shall be paid before any building or development permits are approved. PROCEDURE A. It. is the responsibility of the property owner or his agent to present to the City Engineer or his designee the following information: 1. Site plan showing location of all existing and proposed buildings and other developments relative to property lines. B. The City Engineer shall calculate the Stormwater Area Charges as follows: 1. Undeveloped Property a. The Engineer shall determine the area of development upon review of the site plan. The following minimum areas shall apply: Residential 10,000 square feet Commercial 10,000 square feet Industrial 40,000 square feet C-1,F-1,F-2,F-3 80,000 square feet b. The Engineer shall multiply the estimated area by the rate set forth in Table 3 of the Farmington Storm Drainage Plan as amended. 2. Redevelopment a. The Engineer shall determine the area of development and change in land use upon review of the site plan. The following minimum areas shall apply: Residential 10,000 square feet Commercial 10,000 square feet Industrial 40,000 square feet C-1,F-1,F-2,F-3 80,000 square feet b. If it is determined there is no change in land use classification as described in Table 3 of the Farmington Stormwater Drainage Plan, no fee is to be charged. c. If it is determined there is a change in land use, the fee shall be calculated as follows: Area x (Existing Land Use Rate - Proposed Land Use Rate) = Fee If the fee is less than $0.00, no fee shall be charged. ?) II CITY POLICY WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR UNPLATTED PROPERTY BACKGROUND STATEMENT The Municipal Water Utility utilizes a fee structure for water supply and distribution improvements based on anticipated development. A parcel's contribution is determined by the parcel's size and land use under the principal that a parcel should pay for past, present and future water system improvements necessary to meet the anticipated water needs of the parcel. The fee schedule set forth in the Farmington Water Supply and Distribution Plan dated June, 1988 sets forth charges for water area and water hookups. The water connection fee is primarily used for present and future pumping and storage capacity and is based on type of land use. The water area charge is primarily used for past, present and future oversizing of mains and is set at a uniform per acre rate for future development. Also, the water area charge presently only addresses development associated with the platting of property. Therefore, a policy is required which sets forth fees for development not associated with platting. When adopted, this policy will be incorporated as part of the Farmington Water Distribution and Supply Plan. POLICY STATEMENT The purpose of this policy is to set forth the basis of fees and charges relating to past, present and future improvements necessary to serve anticipated land use for development activities not related to the development of property. AFFECTED DEVELOPMENTS A. A water area charge shall be paid before any building permit is approved, unless specifically exempted under Section B. B. Water Area Charges for the following activities are not required: 1. Any building permits on platted property. 2. Residential or agricultural accessory structures. PROCEDURE A. It is the responsibility of the property owner or his agent to present to the City Engineer or his designee the following information: 1. Site plan showing location of all existing and proposed buildings and other development relative to property lines. B. The City Engineer shall calculate the water area charge as follows: 1. The Engineer shall determine the area of development upon review of the site plan. The following minimum areas shall apply: Residential 10,000 square feet Commercial 10,000 square feet Industrial 40,000 square feet C-1,F=1,F-2,F-3 80,000 square feet 2. The Engineer shall multiply the estimated area by the rate set forth in Table 14 of the Farmington Water Supply and Distribution Plan dated June, 1988 as amended.

Sout #n Dakota:•county was considered as a prime site for a major airport facility about 20 years ago. Once again, the area is in the.rUmning as a possible major regional airport site. 'hh i s time, however, southern Dakota County has two of the three candidate sites proposed by the Metropolitan Coaucil New Airport.-. Search Area Advisory Task Force. - .- Anna i+csent of the candidate sites was made at a task farce meeting. Friday, Dec. 14. In Dakota County, the sites are in an area .j•ast south of Lakeville in Eureka, Castle Rock, c eenvale and Waterford townships, extending into a small portion of Scott county;• and an area covering most of Empire, Vermillion and Marshan townships: 'Te third site is north of the Twin Cities; mostly in Isanti County but extending slightly into Anoka and C3iisago • - counties. . • .- -. °Search area selection critQri a include metropolitan access, envirorental impacts, general land requ;runts, airspace considerations, :SearCh- area characteristics and polidy dv - - - consideratiions_ :Planing for a Twin Cities major airport consists _- City atLakeviiie -2- of a dual-track process, with one track focusing on possible ways to improve the capacity of the current airport and the other track focusing on designating search areas for a possible replacement airport. A single search area is .expected to be designated by the end of 1991. The Metropolitan Airports Commission then has up to four years to select a. specific site within the final search area. Planning for the solution to the potential airport dilemma conflicts with long range planning efforts of Dakota County and affected municipalities and townships. The Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 requires local governments to develop and maintain comprehensive plans. Tha comprehensive.plans prepared by the city of.Lakeville, Dakota County and other area municipalities and townships address such things as development, housing, land use, transportation, capital improvements and environmental issues. Following approval and adoption, these plans have been updated periodically. A community's comprehensive plan serves as a basis upon which people decide where to live, work and enjoy leisure activities. Local planning did not, however, include the possibility of locating a major regional airport in southern Dakota County. The Lakeville City Council is concerned about the degree to which local camwmWWmasIsm plans might have to be modified if the " Dakota-Scott site beComes the single candidate search area for a _(mare)_ 1 -3- major regional airport site, and the effect such a designation would have on current residents and businesses. The possibility exists that the integrity of the local planning process and the comprehensive plans for Dakota County, area cities and t_rwnsbips would best be preserved by choosing the trach focusing on ways to improve the capacity of the current airport. In the next few weeks, Lakeville officials plan to work cooperatively with officials from the county, area municipalities and townships to schedule public meetings for citizen in rut. Discussion is expected to relate to the environmental, economic and financial impacts that could occur if the nearby search area became the candidate site. -30-
