SUBJECT:
Duo Plastics. Inc. - Certificate of Completion
DATE:
February 17,2004
DISCUSSION
City staff members have been informed of an impending sale involving Duo Plastics, Inc., a business that
is currently located north of CSAH 50 between Pilot Knob Road and Eaton Avenue. The land and the
building will apparently be sold to one party, and the operating equipment will be sold to another party.
The purchaser ofthe equipment will then lease space in the building from the new owner.
The title work for the upcoming sale has disclosed a Contract for Private Sale that was entered into by
Duo Plastics, Inc. and the City of Farmington on or about July 6, 1989. The Contract obligated Duo
Plastics, Inc. to construct certain improvements (i.e., a building) upon the real estate that Duo Plastics
bought from the City. After the completion of the required improvements, Duo Plastics had (and still has)
the right to request that the City provide Duo Plastics with a "Certificate of Completion."
An attorney representing Duo Plastics has now requested that the City provide such a Certificate, which is
apparently needed in order for a closing on the sale to take place. I have attached a copy of a Certificate
that has been prepared in a format acceptable to the City Attorney. My review of the applicable files and
records indicates that a proper basis exists for the execution and delivery of the Certificate of Completion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Motion to approve the attached Certificate of Completion regarding the Contract for Private Sale between
Duo Plastics, Inc. and the City of Farmington dated July 6, 1989.
Respectfully Submitted,
!?f//~/

Finance Director

b) Adopt Resolution - Authorizing ALF Ambulance to Purchase Specified
Ambulance Equipment and Issue Equipment Certificates of Indebtedness -
Finance
The ALF Ambulance Board is asking the city to include with our Certificates of
Indebtedness $145,000 for their equipment which they would purchase. As a
member of the ALF Joint Powers agreement, the city has this capability. The
ALF Board approved a resolution for the sale of bonds, however each individual
City Council must agree under a joint resolution to the ALF Board resolution.
ALF will pay back the $145,000 in less than a year. This is the first time ALF has
had to issue a Certificate of Indebtedness, which has to do with the ability of cities
to levy. Farmington was chosen due to a timing issue, as Farmington was ready
to issue Certificates of Indebtedness. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty
to adopt RESOLUTION R9-04 authorizing ALF Ambulance Service to purchase
specified ambulance equipment and to issue equipment certificates of
indebtedness. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
c) Adopt Resolution - Call for Sale of Refunding Bonds - Finance
There are two bond issues, one is the improvement bonds of 1996 which financed
the infrastructure in the industrial park phase two. The other are G.O. sanitary
sewer revenue bonds of 1998 which financed the Middle Creek sanitary sewer
project, which expanded the trunk sewer line into the area east of Pilot Knob and
north ofHwy 50, and to replace a lift station for that area. The bonds would be
sold on March 1, and brought to Council at that meeting. A savings of over
$164,000 is expected over the next 11 years. MOTION by Fitch, second by
Soderberg adopting RESOLUTION RIO-04 calling for the sale of$2,535,OOO
G.O. Refunding Bonds, Series 2004D on March 1,2004. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
d) Adopt Resolution - Call for Sale of Certificates of Indebtedness - Finance
Staff proposed the sale of $1.48 million in Certificates of Indebtedness. These
certificates will pay for the acquisition of equipment as proposed in the 2004
budget. $145,000 ofthis will be funded by ALF Ambulance. The certificates
will be sold on March 1, 2004. The certificates will be five year notes.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Cordes adopting RESOLUTION Rll-04

Staff is proposing a new park sign design. There are many new parks that do not
currently have park signs. The sign will be 3 ft x 5 ft and attached to two 6"x 6"
posts. In addition, staff presented a trail entrance sign. This is a single post sign
and will be 30" x 18". The detail will be the same as the park sign. There will be
landscaping around the signs to add color to park entrances and to deter
vandalism. Installation will begin this summer by staff. The signs will be
purchased over a 3 year period, 6 signs each year. The cost of the large park sign
will be $2,200, and the smaller entrance sign will cost $625. The signs have a

lifetime warranty. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty approving the
purchase and installation of the new park signs. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
f) Consider Ash Street Project Phasing - Engineering
There are utilities that need to be brought in from the East Farmington area to the
area behind the commercial properties in Castle Rock along Hwy 50 and up to the
intersection of Ash Street and TH3. The utilities would then be brought in
westerly along Ash Street as part of the Ash Street reconstruction project. Staff
proposed to do the project in two phases. The utility portion would start this fall
and be completed before the reconstruction of Ash Street. This would allow as
much time as possible in 2005 to get the road as far along as possible to impact
the traffic to the Dakota County Fair as little as possible. Staffhas talked with
property owners most affected and they do not have any issue with this phasing.
Other property owners will also be contacted. Staffhas also informed the Castle
Rock Town Board Chair, and he did not have any issues with this. MOTION by
Fogarty, second by Soderberg approving the implementation ofthe Ash Street
project in two phases. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
12. NEW BUSINESS
a) Adopt Resolution - 2004 Seal Coat Project Feasibility Report - Engineering
This is the 11 th project in the city's seal coat program established in 1994. This
program is implemented in a seven-year cycle. The streets are in Autumn Glen 1 st
and 2nd Additions, Charleswood 3rd Addition, East Farmington 7th Addition and
Tamarack Ridge 1 st and 2nd Additions are to be seal coated for the first time this
year. The streets in Prairie Creek I st and 2nd Additions, Silver Springs 1 st and 2nd
Additions, Nelsen Hills 1st and 2nd Additions, Fair Hills, Pine Knoll, 213th Street
and the Rambling River parking lots are also scheduled to be seal coated. Several
streets have already been assessed through their development contracts. Property
owners on the remaining streets would be assessed per policy, the remainder of
the cost would be funded through the road and bridge fund. Staffhas been in
contact with the City of Bumsville, which is the adininistrator for the Joint
Powers Agreement for seal coating, traffic markings and other items for street
repair. A higher quality aggregate will be used at a cheaper price through the
Joint Powers Agreement. The project cost under the previous method is $140,000
or $137,700 using the Joint Powers Agreement costs. The assessed amount under
the previous method is $66.77 /residential unit or $65.44/residential unit under the
Joint Powers Agreement. The Joint Powers Agreement saves $2800 in project
costs. Under this process the Council will have the bid information prior to the
public hearing. A neighborhood meeting will be held to answer any questions.
Regarding clean-up and removal of unused material, each city inspects their own
area. MOTION by Cordes, second by Fitch adopting RESOLUTION R12-04
receiving the feasibility report, authorizing the preparation of plans and
Council Minutes (Regular)

specifications and scheduling a public hearing for March 1,2004. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
b) Approve Storm Water Pond Expansion Main Street Project-Engineering
The Main Street project phase 2 is scheduled for this summer. Storm sewer will
be installed along Main Street for the first time. The storm water is being routed
through some pipes along Hwy 3 and outlet to the pond behind the old Wausau
property, now Dakota Storage. The pond needs to be expanded in order to take
the water from Main Street and to achieve water quality goals. It is not a water
quantity issue or a flooding issue, it is an issue of getting the water clean before it
continues on to the Prairie Waterway. The expansion would be .45 additional
acres, part of which is land already owned by the city. Staffhas discussed the
issue with Dakota Storage, and will continue to do so. The estimated project cost
is $230,000 not including the easement acquisition. The money would come from
trunk sewer funds and costs would not be assessed to property owners.
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes approving the expansion of pond PW-
P1.14 in conjunction with the Main Street Project, Phase 2. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Councilmember Fitch: He received a couple complaints about snow plowing in
cul-de-sacs. Some residents asked if there was a way to make a pass so people can get
out. They were quite full of snow and for quite some time. City Engineer Mann replied
an alternator went out on the piece of equipment used to plow cul-de-sacs. That would
be the issue with the amount of time to get them done. He was not aware what time cul-
de-sacs were looked at, but priority routes are done first. Staff will review the comments
and do their best, but for this instance, it was due to having a piece of equipment down.
City Administrator Urbia: Stated he is very happy to be here and looking forward to
working here. Dakota Electric has their annual Partners in Progress Meeting, March 3,
2004, 4:30 - 6:30 in Eagan, at Royal Cliff. He asked others to attend to have a good
representation for Farmington.

presented background information about fitness equipment and other senior center fitness rooms that other
communities have created. Mr. Weber presented information about the type of fitness equipment that the
Rambling River Center Advisory Board is recommending to purchase for its fitness room. Ms. Kohlbeck
explained what types of medical and release forms that other communities use for their fitness rooms. She also
presented information about the hours that the Rambling River Center Advisory Board recommended that the
fitness room would be open to the public. The fitness room hours would include regular weekday hours that the
Rambling River Center (RRC) is open and two evenings a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The
evening hours would be staffed by a volunteer. It would not be open on weekends. Ms. Kohlbeck informed the
PRAC that there would be a separate fee for the fitness room from the regular RRC membership but that in
order to be a member of the fitness room, a RRC membership was required.
Parks and Recreation Director Distad stated that while he had thought that there was funding available in the
2004 Capital Outlay budget for the fitness equipment, after some research he discovered that the funding was
not shown in the 2004 Capital Outlay budget. There was however funding identified in the 2005 requested
Capital Outlay budget for the RRC. Distad stated that he is researching other funding options for the purchase
of the fitness equipment this year.

direction on an Agreement with FYHA concerning the repaying of the costs associated with the sanitary sewer
line that was installed to the warming house. The City Attorney felt that the City Council should be informed
early on in this process so that they are not surprised later with an Agreement. He informed PRAC members
that he will update them on the status ofthe agreement at the February 2004 meeting.
E. Dakota County Regional Park
Director Distad informed PRAC members that the Dakota County Commissioners unanimously approved the
request to master plan the area in Empire Township that has been identified as a potential future regional park
area. This is good news for the City of Farmington as it will provide a large regional park within three miles
from downtown Farmington.
F. Riverbend Development Final Plat
Director Distad reviewed with PRAC members some changes that have been made to the final plat of the
Riverbend Development. He showed some new trail alignments and also the opportunity to add a parking lot to
the park. He stated that this park could become a trail head for the North Creek Greenway and so adding the
parking lot when the development is graded and streets and utilities are constructed would be a good idea rather
than waiting until after homes are built. He thought that once homes are built, the likelihood of putting a parking
lot in the park would be very slim due to the possibility of opposition from homeowners. PRAC members by
consensus agreed that the changes to the plat were appropriate.
VII. New Business
A. Discussion on 2004 Chair Position
Chair Oswald thanked PRAC members for allowing him to serve this past year as the chair of the PRAC. He
shared with PRAC members that he would be interested in continuing to be chair in 2004.
B. Park Master Plan and Park Development Schedule
Director Distad provided information to Commission members about a park planning and park development
schedule for existing, new and future parks. The schedule identifies about three to four parks a year that would
receive either new or updated master planning. These parks then would receive improvements the following
year that were identified during the master planning process. Motion by Higgins and seconded by Johnson to
recommend to the City Council the approval of the park master planning and park development schedule. APIF.
Motion approved.
C. Rambling River Park Discussion
PRAC members discussed what the future held for Rambling River Park. Director Distad stated that in the park
planning and park development schedule, Rambling River Park would have a park master plan completed in
2004. He stated that he thought that the future direction of this park could be determined during the park master
planning process.
D. Review City Aerial Map to Determine Future Park and Open Space Locations
PRAC members reviewed a map that Director Distad had worked with the Assistant City Planner on developing.
On the map, future park areas of various sizes were identified. After some discussion about the location and
size of future parks, PRAC members by consensus requested Director Distad to come back to a future meeting
with a park map that identified for every 640 acres at least 40 acres for a community park and at least two
neighborhood parks that are at least five acres in size.
VIII. Additions to the Agenda (None)
IX. Staff Report (None)
X. February Meeting Agenda Topics
The following items were identified for the February 2004 meeting agenda:
. Review Future Park and Open Space Plan
. Review Recreational Facility Task Force Final Report
. Election of Officers

Adopt Resolution - Ash Street Project - Finance
DATE:
February 17, 2004
INTRODUCTION
In order to finance the costs of the Ash Street Project, the City will sell bonds in 2005.
These bonds, when issued, will reimburse expenditures incurred in 2004. Under the
Internal Revenue Code, a declaration of this intent is required.
DISCUSSION
At their meeting on February 2, 2004, Council authorized the Ash Street project be
broken into two phases, with phase one beginning in late summer 2004. The initial phase
of the project will be primarily utility construction and it is the City's intention to draw on
available internal funding and issue bonds for the project in 2005.
However, under Internal Revenue Section 1.150-2 of Income Tax Regulations, if the
possibility exists that the City will reimburse itself for expenses incurred prior to the
bonds being issued, a resolution declaring that intent must be passed by the City Council.
ACTION REOUIRED
Adopt the attached resolution establishing compliance with Reimbursement Bond
regulations under IRS Code.

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES
RELATING TO COMPLIANCE WITH REIMBURSEMENT BOND
REGULATIONS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Farmington, Minnesota (the
"City"), as follows:
1. Recitals.
(a) The Internal Revenue Service has issued Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2
(as the same may be amended or supplemented, the "Regulations"), dealing with "reimbursement
bond" proceeds, being proceeds of the City's bonds used to reimburse the City for any project
expenditure paid by the City prior to the time of the issuance of those bonds.
(b) The Regulations generally require that the City make a declaration of intent to
reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of subsequently issued bonds, that
such declaration be made not later than 60 days after the expenditure is actually paid, and that the
bonding occur and the written reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such
bonds within 18 months after the later of (1) the date of payment of the expenditure or (2) the
date the project is placed in service (but in no event more than 3 years after actual payment).
(c) The City heretofore implemented procedures for compliance with the
predecessor versions of the Regulations and desires to amend and supplement those procedures to
ensure compliance with the Regulations.
(d) The City's bond counsel has advised the City that the Regulations do not apply,
and hence the provisions of this Resolution are intended to have no application to payments of
City project costs first made by the City out of the proceeds of bonds issued prior to the date of
such payments.
2. Official Intent Declaration. The Regulations, in the situations in which they apply, require the
City to have declared an official intent (the "Declaration") to reimburse itself for previously paid project
expenditures out of the proceeds of subsequently issued bonds. The Council hereby authorizes the City
Finance Director to make the City's Declarations or to delegate from time to time that responsibility to
other appropriate City employees. Each Declaration shall comply with the requirements of the
Regulations, including without limitation the following:
(a) Each Declaration shall be made not later than 60 days after payment of the
applicable project cost and shall state that the City reasonably expects to reimburse itself for the
expenditure out of the proceeds of a bond issue or similar borrowing. Each Declaration may be
made substantially in the form of the Exhibit A, which is attached to and made a part of this
Resolution, or in any other format which may at the time comply with the Regulations.
(b) Each Declaration shall (1) contain a reasonably accurate description of the
"project," as defmed in the Regulations (which may include the property or program to be
financed, as applicable), to which the expenditure relates and (2) state the maximum principal
amount of bonding expected to be issued for that project.
(c) Care shall be taken so that the City, or its authorized representatives under this
Resolution, not make Declarations in cases where the City does not reasonably expect to issue
reimbursement bonds to finance the subject project costs, and the City officials are hereby
authorized to consult with bond counsel to the City concerning the requirements of the
Regulations and their application in particular circumstances.
(d) The Council shall be advised from time to time on the desirability and timing of
the issuance of reimbursement bonds relating to project expenditures for which the City has made
Declarations.
3. Reimbursement Allocations. The designated City officials shall also be responsible for making
the "reimbursement allocations" described in the Regulations, being generally written allocations that
evidence the City's use of the applicable bond proceeds to reimburse the original expenditures.
4. Effect. This Resolution shall amend and supplement all prior resolutions and/or procedures
adopted by the City for compliance with the Regulations (or their predecessor versions), and, henceforth,
in the event of any inconsistency, the provisions of this Resolution shall apply and govern.
Adopted this _ day of
, by the City Council.

Adopt Resolution Capitalization Policy - Finance
DATE:
February 17, 2004
INTRODUCTION
For the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ended December
31, 2003, the City must implement Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement 34 in conformance with State reporting requirements. One of the components
of GASB 34 is the complete accounting for and depreciation of all city assets, including
infrastructure. A formal capitalization policy must therefore be adopted by the City
Council outlining intent and procedures for all city assets.
DISCUSSION
The Capitalization Policy attached to this memo outlines the procedures to be followed
when accounting for the acquisition, depreciation and disposal of assets by the City. The
policy addresses the level at which assets are capitalized, how they are to be depreciated
over their useful life and what useful life is expected of each category of asset.
The City has accounted for its assets in Enterprise Funds with a capitalization threshold
of $1,000 and a useful life and depreciation schedule similar to the one in the policy since
the early 1990's. The formal adoption ofthe policy would extend the threshold to $5,000
and apply the policy to all City assets effective with the 2003 Audit.
ACTION REQUIRED
Adopt the attached Capitalization Policy effective for years ended December 31, 2003
and after.

Robin Roland
Finance Director
CITY OF FARMINGTON
CAPITALIZATION POLICY
This policy defines dollar thresholds and descriptions for categories of capital assets for all
Departments of the City.
CaDital Assets Definition
Capital assets include land, buildings, building improvements, construction in progress,
machinery and equipment, vehicles, infrastructure and easements acquired by the City for use in
providing services to its citizens. A capital asset is to be reported and depreciated in
government-wide financial statements. In the government-wide financial statements, assets that
are not capitalized are expended in the year of acquisition.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that normally can be preserved for a significant
greater number of years than most capital assets and are normally stationary in nature. Examples
include roads, bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, water and sewer systems, and dams.
Infrastructure assets do not include buildings, drives, parking lots or any other examples given
above that are incidental to property or access to the property.
Inventory Record
The City shall inventory all capital assets. Each inventory record should include: description,
year of acquisition, method of acquisition (e.g. purchase, donation, etc.) funding source, cost or
estimated cost, and estimated useful life. The inventory record will also identify the function(s)
that use the asset.
Recordin2 Land
Land is to be capitalized but not depreciated. It is recorded at historical cost and remains at that
cost until disposal. If there is a gain or loss on the sale ofland, it is reported as a special item in
the statement of activities.
Recordin2 Buildin2s
Buildings should be recorded at either their acquisition cost or construction cost. The cost of
new construction should be carefully evaluated because projects usually consist of major
components such as land, land improvements, building construction (including professional fees
and permits), furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition, buildings include components such
as roof, air conditioner system, etc that should be recorded separately when significant because
these building components have different useful lives. The value of each component needs to be
determined and placed within its own category.
Recordin2 Buildin2 ImDrovements
Building improvements that extend the useful life should be capitalized. Examples of building
improvements include roofing projects, remodeling or replacing major building components.
Recordin2 Construction in Pr02ress
Construction in progress should be capitalized and not depreciated. It should be reported with
land and other non-depreciating assets at the government-wide level. Unspent debt proceeds
from capital assets related debt are reported in the net assets section of the statement of net assets
as "restricted for capital projects."
Recordinl! Machinery and Equipment (Includinl! Office Equipment)
Assets such as furniture, machinery and equipment (that meet threshold levels) should be
capitalized and inventoried. Some assets, individually, may fall below the capitalization
threshold but may be purchased in large quantities by the City e.g. computers, books. City staff
should aggregate such assets and consider the materiality and significance of them and if
material or significant capitalize such items either individually or in the aggregate.
Recordinl! Vehicles
Vehicles should be identified, inventoried, and depreciated.
Recordinl! Easements
An easement is an interest in land owned by another that entitles its holder to a specific limited
use of the land. Therefore, easements are not required to be reported unless the City paid for the
easement.
Establishinl! and Settinl! the Threshold Levels for Recordinl! Capital Assets
The following elements of useful life and asset costs are established for capitalization of assets:
Estimated Useful Life - the first criterion is useful life. An asset must have an estimated useful
life greater than one (1) year to be considered for capitalization and depreciation. Assets that are
consumed, used-up, habitually lost or worn-out in one year or less will not be capitalized.
Asset Cost - The second criterion for determining depreciable capital assets is cost. The
capitalization threshold shall be established as follows for per individual asset item.
Land
Construction in Progress
Building and Building Improvements
Infrastructure
Machinery and Equipment
Vehicles
Capitalize and Depreciate
Capitalize Only
Capitalize Only
$5,000
$5,000
$5,000
$5,000
Depreciation Definition
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of tangible property over a period oftime rather
than deducting the cost as an expense in the year of acquisition.
It is the City's policy to use the straight-line depreciation method. The basis of the asset is
written off evenly over the useful life of the asset. The same amount of depreciation is taken
each year. In general, the amount of annual depreciation is determined by dividing an asset's
depreciable cost by its estimated life. The total amount depreciated can never exceed the asset's
historic cost.
To avoid the complications of depreciating each asset from the specific date on which it is placed
in service, the City will utilize a half year convention. Under this convention, property placed in
service at anl time during a given year is treated as if it had been placed in service on the first
day of the t month. If the property is disposed of before the end of its useful life, only 6
months depreciation is allowed for that final year.
To calculate depreciation on a capital asset, the following four factors must be known:
. The date the asset was placed in service
. The asset's cost or acquisition value
. The asset's estimated useful life, and
. The depreciation method
Obtainine: an Asset's Cost of Acquisition Value
Capital assets are reported at historical cost and should include the cost of freight, site
preparation, architect and engineering fees, etc. If something other than cash is used to pay for
the asset, then the fair-market value of the non-cash payment or consideration determines the
asset's cost or acquisition value. When the value of the consideration paid can't be determined,
the asset's fair-market value determines its cost. With few exceptions, an asset's cost should
also include necessary costs incurred to place the asset in service. Costs include the invoice
price plus incidental costs (insurance during transit, freight, capitalized interest as described
earlier, duties, title search, registration fees, and installation costs). Exceptions to this rule
include interest expenses associated with deferred payments and real estate taxes paid, if any, in
the acquisition of property.
Establishine: Classes of Assets
The City establishes the following major categories of capital assets, with further details defined
in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part of this policy.

SUBJECT: Liquor Law Violation / B&B Pizza
Public Hearing for the Suspension of Liquor License
DATE: February 17, 2004
INTRODUCTION
As part of its liquor licensing authority the City of Farmington conducts periodic compliance checks
on all licensed retailers in the city. During a recent compliance check four licensed liquor retailers in
Farmington sold liquor to an underage adult. In each case the seller has been charged with the
violation. Staff is recommending additional sanctions against the license holders.
DISCUSSION
In December 2003 the Farmington Police Department conducted compliance checks at all licensed
liquor retailers in the city. A 19-year-old male, working under the direct supervision of a police
officer entered each business and attempted the purchase of an alcoholic beverage. He was given
strict instruction to openly identify himself if asked to do so and not to conceal his age in any way. If
asked for identification he was instructed to provide his actual Minnesota Driver's License. Staff has
included copies of the incident reports as well as a photo of the youthful buyer for Council review.
Under Minnesota Statutes and Farmington Ordinance (3-12-13.1) the Council has a right to impose
penalties for violation of liquor laws. It is important for the City to send a clear message of owner
accountability and zero tolerance for these violations.
Since the inception of compliance checks in the City of Farmington the city has imposed a civil
penalty on first time violators. Until now there have been no violations more serious than a single
violation.
Of the four violations in December two were first time violations and two were second time
violations. The two first time violations have been charged civil penalties of $400.00 each. The
actual sellers have been charged criminally with the violation.
The other two violator, B&B Pizza and Kwik Trip have failed two consecutive compliance checks.
At B&B in particular he youthful buyer approached the clerk and asked for a bottle of Michelob
Golden Draft. The cle k asked for his Driver's license and he gave it to her. The clerk viewed the
Driver's license and c mpleted the sale, charging him $2.50. The transaction was observed by a
police officer from the utside through the restaurant windows. The youthful buyer set the beer down
and the Police Office immediately entered and informed the clerk that she had just sold to an
underage person.
Per Farmington Ordin ce 3-12-13.1 "The council has a right to suspend or revoke any license for
the sale of intoxicatin liquor" for any such violation. In instances where similar violations have
occurred in other citi s penalties have ranged from escalating civil fines to civil fines plus
suspensions up to three days. The most recent example of such action was in January 2004, when the
City of Hastings suspe ded liquor licenses for two days for a second consecutive compliance check
violation.
Staff is recommending that all liquor licenses of B&B Pizza authorized by the City of Farmington be
suspended for a perio of two consecutive days as determined by staff. These penalties have been
discussed with the City Attorney and we believe the penalties are both reasonable and sustainable.
Staff is recommending hat all liquor licenses for B&B Pizza issued by the City of Farmington be
suspended for a period f two consecutive days beginning two weeks from the date of Council action.
If approved the effecti e dates will be March 2nd and 3rd, 2004.
Council should note th t staff recommendations are not binding and Council has the right to depart
from them to be either ore lenient or more strict depending on results of this public hearing.

'ang the beer up and asked for his ID. He provided his drivers license to her and she looked at it. She then
proceeded to complete the sale, charging him $5.10 for the beer. Stieg left the store with the beer. I observed

the beer from him. I approached the clerk, identified myself, and informed her that she had just sold beer to an

Steig entered the Farmington Eagles Club at approximately 1915 and approached the bar. He requested a bottle
of Miller Lite and it was given to him. I was standing outside viewing the transaction through the glass doors.
He was charged $2.40 for it. When I saw the bartender give him his change, I entered the bar and Steig left. I
identified myself to the bar tender and informed him that he had just sold beer to an underage person. He
identified himself with a Minnesota Driver's License as:

It should be noted that Cummings was skeptical about Steig's identity and requested that I provide his driver's
license, which had not been originally viewed. I complied with Cummings request and retrieved the license
from Steig who had returned to the truck.
Steig entered B & B Pizza at approximately 1930 and approached the counter. He asked for a bottle of
Michelob Golden Draft Light and it was provided to him. The clerk requested his Driver's License and it was
provided to her. She viewed it and completed the sale, charging him $2.50 for the beer. I viewed this from

I returned with Steig to the Farmington Police Department where the beer from Kwik Trip was entered into
evidence. The other three had been opened and were therefore left at the respective establishments.
This matter will be forwarded to the City Attorney for review and charging.

Subject:
Liquor Law Violation / Public Hearing for Suspension of Liquor License
K wik Trip & B&B Pizza
Date:
February 17, 2004
The two above named businesses each failed a compliance check for the second time. In
each of these current cases the clerks asked for and received the requested identification,
but failed to observe that the party making the purchase was underage.
Inherent with a liquor license is responsibility and a requirement to refrain from selling
intoxicating liquor to underage persons. Asking for identification is not just a motion one
goes through as part the sale of alcohol. Identification is used for the purpose of
determining age and making a decision to refuse the sale of intoxicating liquor to an
underage patron. In each case it seems the clerks went through motions, but failed to
properly determine age. They gave the appearance of compliance without actual
compliance.
After reading the information presented in our agenda packets, I am inclined to agree
with the staff recommendation of a two day suspension of liquor licenses with a minor
modification for the two offending establishments.
I would like to remind Council that this action tonight is setting precedent. If Council
agrees with Staff recommendation to suspend all liquor licenses for Kwik Trip and B&B
Pizza for two days, I suggest that the two days should be a Friday and Saturday
approximately two weeks after council action. Were I in attendance I would offer a stern
warning that I favor escalating penalties for continued violations.

RE:
Recreational Facilities Report
DATE:
February 17, 2004
INTRODUCTION
On April 21, 2003, the City Council approved a request from the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission (PRAC) to assemble a Recreational Facilities Task Force (Task Force).
Subsequently a Task Force was assembled that consisted of membership from many different
community organizations. The Task Force met for the first time on June 17,2003 and adopted
the following goals that were based on input from the PRAC members:
Goal #1: Inventory and identify all public recreational facilities.
Goal #2: Evaluate existing facilities to determine maintenance needs and identify what facilities
need to be replaced or upgraded.
Goal #3: Develop a short-term (2-3 years) and long-term (5-10 years) prioritized vision for
future recreational facilities.
Goal #4: Identify potential finance methods for future funding of the construction of
recreational facilities.
Goal #5: To discuss and explore public/private partnerships for current and future recreational
facilities.
Goal #6: To focus on cross-utilization of all current and future recreational facilities in order to
maximize their use.
Goal #7: To provide an opportunity for public comment on the draft report.
Goal #8: To provide information about the Recreational Facility Task Force through the media,
City web site and various other methods that are available.
Ingraham and Associates was hired by City Council action on July 7, 2003 to assist the Task
Force with accomplishing its goals.
DISCUSSION
Included with this memo is the Farmington Recreational Facility Needs Study report that the
Task Force completed over the past 6 months.
The Task Force initially identified an aggressive timeline that called for a final report to be
presented to the City Council at its second meeting in December 2003. Unfortunately the
timeline was not able to be met due to the Task Force wanting to hold a public open house in
mid-November to provide the community an opportunity to give feedback to the Task Force on
its key findings and recommendations. In addition, the Task Force also wanted to allow students
to complete a survey in order to receive feedback from this age group.
With the exception of Goal #3, all other goals were accomplished by the Task Force. During the
course of determining what the final report would consist of, Task Force members felt that rather
than looking at what the short and long term priorities were, they would rather formulate
immediate recommended actions that would address the priorities that were identified by the
public surveys and task force members. They felt that putting a specific number of years that the
priorities should be accomplished by may be misleading or create expectations that may not be
able to be met and if not met, may be deemed as a failure.
The PRAC has reviewed the report that is included in the City Council packet and unanimously
voted to accept the report. It also unanimously voted by separate motion, to recommend to the
City Council that it accept the report and to strongly consider moving forward with the three
recommended actions consisting of:
1. Land Acquisition - Prepare a Park and Recreation System Plan.
2. Community Center - Prepare a feasibility study of a Farmington Community Center.
3. Funding - A comprehensive funding and partnership strategy should be prepared.
ACTION REQUESTED
By motion accept the Farmington Recreational Facility Needs Study. By separate motion
approve the request to move forward on the three recommended actions that consist of the
following:
1. Land Acquisition - Prepare a Park and Recreation System Plan.
2. Community Center - Prepare a feasibility study of a Farmington Community Center.
3. Funding - A comprehensive funding and partnership strategy should be prepared.

recreational facility needs. It answers
the question - What facilities are
needed? To build a quality recreation
system for generations to come the
following questions will need to
answered next - How?, Where? and At
what cost? These questions would be
answered in the next phase through
implementation of the following key
recommendations.
The Study
The study was guided by a task force
of residents and representatives of
various community organizations. The
Recreational Facility Task Force (Task
Force) gathered and analyzed existing
facilities, compared this inventory to
national standards and norms, gathered
extensive public input and forecasted
community needs.
The Task Force determined the
following:
y Recreation facilities are key
elements in a community's
quality of life.
y The number and quality of
existing City recreation facilities
are inadequate and below the
level of similar surrounding
communities.
y The public is very interested in
high quality recreation facilities.

Farmington Recreational Facility Needs Study
"The Path to 2010- Creating a High Quality
Recreational Facility System"
1. INTRODUCTION
Why study recreation facility needs?
The Opportunity of a Lifetime
The City of Farmington is at an important
crossroad in its history. When it comes to
park and recreation facilities, cities
typically only have one chance at doing it
right. Ifland for public recreation and open
space is not set aside prior to development,
the opportunity is either lost forever or the
cost increases one hundred fold to acquire
the land after development. Witness cities
buying developed property along rivers for
parks and trails at a cost of millions of
dollars for a few acres or condemning
housing and businesses for an athletic
complex. It is very much a "pay me now
or pay me later" scenario.
Farmington is not unique in its recreation
needs and desires. Quality recreation
opportunities define quality of life and
quality neighborhoods and quality
communities. What is unique about
Farmington is the window of opportunity
available to do the right thing. While
budgets are tight and anti-tax sentiments
run high, the cost of land will never be
lower and there appears to be strong
community support for a quality recreation
system.
The long-term economic implication of a
sustained and coordinated investment in
park and recreation facilities is only
positive. Higher land values, higher
property tax revenue, more desirable
neighborhoods, a healthier community, a
sense of community, lower service costs,
(for park and recreation land). Successful
cities have a well-balanced high quality
recreation system. Think of cities you
admire. Why do they stand out? Would you
rank their park and recreation systems
above or below average?
Think of places you go for a vacation or
day trip. Why do you go there? You go
because it offers amenities like parks,
natural areas and recreational
opportunities.
When looking for a new home do you
consider the supply and location of parks,
trail and recreation facilities? Studies show
that parks and recreation facilities are
consistently among the top three reasons
people cite for choosing a new
neighborhood.

The City of Farmington recognizes the
importance of quality recreation facilities
and initiated this study to:
1. Inventory existing recreation
facilities.
2. Evaluate maintenance and
improvement needs.
3. Recommendations for future
recreation facilities.
4. Identify funding sources and
partnerships.
5. Focus on shared and multi-use
facilities.
6. Obtain public input / make study
information available.
7. Report the study findings and
recommendations to the City Council.
Study Process
The City Council authorized the study
and an advisory task force was selected
to guide the study. The task force
members represent ten different
community organizations.

The Task Force's role was to conduct the
study and submit a final report back to the
City Council.
The Task Force met five times, conducted
a tour of recreation facilities, held a
community open house meeting, met with
the Farmington Parks and Recreation
Commission and reviewed and approved
the study recommendations. The Parks and
Recreation Commission reviewed the
study and recommendations.
Technical assistance was provided by
Ingraham & Associates, a recreation
planning consultant and Farmington Parks
and Recreation staff. Public input
opportunities included a community open
City ho~s.e meeting, task for~e ~eetings, an
opmIon survey and web SIte mput.

2. EXISTING
CONDITIONS
Farmington has a developing system of
school and city recreation facilities. The
city has 16 developed parks, an outdoor
swimming pool and an ice arena. School
District # 192 has six school and
administrative sites with indoor and
outdoor recreation facilities. See Appendix
page 18 for a map and inventory of
facilities.
Farmington's supply of recreational
facilities is unusual for its heavy reliance
on school facilities. School facilities
account for approximately 77% of all
athletic facilities in the city. City facilities
account for 23%. Most communities have
a more even distribution of facilities
between city and school facilities.
Farmington relies primarily upon
dedication of park land or cash in lieu of
land dedication from developers to acquire
park land and build recreation facilities.
Park dedication alone has typically not
been sufficient to acquire and build an
adequate supply of parks and recreation
facilities.
Most Farmington city facilities in parks are
newer and in good condition. Some notable
exceptions are the outdoor pool at
Evergreen Knoll Park, which was built in
1971 and is 32 years old, exceeding the
standard for pool life by seven years, the
Civic Ice Arena, which was built in 1978
and is over 25 years old, two softball fields
and one youth baseball field at Rambling
River Park, which are built on a site
previously used as the town dump. Most
outdoor and indoor school facilities are
also in generally good to excellent
condition, however due to overuse some
of the outdoor athletic facilities have begun
to experience deterioration in turf areas and
long term maintenance will need to be
addressed.

Farmington is a
rapidly growing
community with an
estimated
2004 population
of over
18,000 People.
As new sports
emerge or
popularity
increases, residents
want access to
facilities for those
activities.
Farmington's
population is forecast
to double between
2000 and 2012.

3. CITY GROWTH
Farmington is a rapidly growing city
located in the south edge of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area. Farmington has an
estimated 2004 population of over 18,000
people. The population doubled between
1990 and 2000. The city is characterized
as a fast growing suburb possessing a
traditional downtown area and core
residential areas. It possesses new growth
housing areas, farms, open space and
natural resources such as the Vermillion
River. Rapid growth is expected to
continue in the coming decades.
Farmington's recent growth has resulted
in increased use of existing recreation
facilities. As the City continues to grow,
the demand will become even greater for
new recreational facilities
Demographic trends like the aging "Baby
Boom" generation, increasing number of
active senior citizens and rising number
of families with school age children will
influence recreation participatio~ and
facility needs.

4. RECREATION
TRENDS
Recreation trends affect the need and type
of recreation facilities. As new sports
emerge or popularity increases, residents
want access to facilities for those activities.
New technology can affect recreation use.
For example, mountain bikes increased the
popularity of bicycling and in-line skates
added a new trail use.
Some of the most significant recent
recreation trends are:
~ fucreased trail use.
~ ~creased number females participating
In sports.
~ The rise of fitness and exercise clubs.
~ Year-round training and off-season
leagues for competitive sports.
~ Active seniors who use a wide variety
of recreation facilities.
~ Demand for high quality fields, courts
and gyms.
~ The emergence of "extreme" sports such
as skateboarding, climbing, BMX bikes,
etc.
The lessons learned from changing
recreation trends and increased
recreation participation are:
./ Acquire, plan for and build flexible
multi-use facilities.
./ Continually seek feedback, evaluate
and adjust facility use.
./ Build quality facilities.
./ fuvolve stakeholders in the design,
funding and use decisions.

5. NEEDS ANALYSIS
The determination of community
recreation facility needs was based on
analysis of national and local recreation
standards, community input (task force,
commission and public) and professional
experience (City staff and Ingraham &
Associates recreation consultants).
Recreation Service Standards
Service standards are accepted standards
for the minimum supply of different types
of recreation facilities. There are two types
of standards. One is based on population
and the other is based on geographic area.
Population standards define a minimum
number of facilities and the area standards
define an appropriate spacing and access
to facilities.
Standards based on National Recreation
and Parks Association (NRPA) standards
were reviewed by the Task Force and used
to determine minimum community
recreation needs. Recreation facility
numbers from Twin City metropolitan area
cities was also used as a benchmark. The
service standards were applied to the
existing year 2003 condition and the
forecast 2020 conditions to determine
existing and future facility needs. The
results of the application of the population
and area standards are contained on the
Inventory and Service Standards Analysis
on the next page and on page 19 in the
appendix.
Service standards
are accepted standards
for the minimum supply
of different types of
recreation facilities.
Service Area
Example:
Red circles show
areas served by
recreation facilities.
Yellow areas indicate
gaps where recreation
supply is inadequate.
9
Population Standards
The NRPA has standards for the number
of residents that can be served by various
recreation facilities. For instance, the
standards suggest there should be at least
one tennis court for every 2,000 people and
one small ball field for each 2,500 people.
There are recommended minimum
standards for most types of recreation
facilities.
Area Standards
Area standards specify the maximum
distance most people should be from a
recreational facility. For example "there
should be a basketball court within 'i4 mile
to ;/2 mile of most residents". Area
standards are based on the idea that certain
facilities should serve a neighborhood
(small ball field, play equipment, tennis
court, basketball court, skating, etc.) and
other facilities should serve several
neighborhoods or the whole community
(such as large soccer fields, football fields,
gymnasiums, indoor ice rinks, pools, etc.
These area standards translate into circular
service areas that define minimal
acceptable spacing for various facilities.
See the map of small ballfield service area
gaps on page 11.

10
Analvsis of Service Standards
The use of area and population service
standards shows that the City of
Farmington has a significant deficiency in
the inventory of many recreation facilities
and that the shortfall will be extreme by
2010 if the city does not take steps to add
new recreation facilities in the near future.
The city does not have the recommended
minimum number of baseball, softball,
soccer fields, tennis courts, hockey rinks
and other facilities. Including the school
facilities in the analysis brings the
inventory numbers up, but the school
facilities are not always available for public
use and are concentrated at a few school
sites.
The City does not have the same inventory
of recreation facilities as many of its
neighboring communities. The inventory
of recreation facilities in Farmington is less
than the average inventory of recreation
facilities found in a survey of south metro
area communities. This means that
Farmington residents have less than
minimum recommended access to city
recreation.
6. PUBLIC INPUT
While national and regional recreation
standards are helpful in identifying general
needs, each community is unique and must
be evaluated individually. This is where
public input is important to define
Farmington's unique needs, desires,
opportunities and constraints.
This study gathered a broad range of
community input throughout the process
to make sure that the recommendations
represent the city needs and desires. The
study was guided by a diverse group of
people who were selected to represent a
broad range of interests and viewpoints.
The task force input guided the study and
formed the recommendations. The task
force held a community open house
meeting on November 18, 2003 that was
attended by approximately 100 people. A
recreation survey was distributed at the
open house meeting and to student groups.
158 people completed the survey. The Task
Force draft findings and recommendations
were published in the city newsletter and
on the city web site. There were articles in
local newspapers about the recreation
facility study. The community input was
used to shape the final recommendations
and priorities. The Farmington Parks and
Recreation Advisory Commission was
updated regularly regarding the study and
on December 10,2003 the TaskForce met
with the Park and Recreation Commission
to review the recommendations. The Parks
and Recreation Commission reviewed the
draft report on February 11,2004.

7. KEY FINDINGS
1. Quality recreation facilities are a key
component of community quality of life.
Recreation facilities create a sense of
community, increase property values and
contribute toward an economically strong
and healthy community.
2. There is a need for additional athletic
facilities, trails, and a multi-use ice arena
to meet current recreation needs. There
is a lack of facilities to meet the City's
current needs. City recreation facilities
are sub-par compared to other similar
communities and the city needs to take
action to catch up.
3. There is a need to aggressively plan
for and fund recreation facility
development to keep up with growth and
increased demand. Farmington is
growing rapidly and recreation facilities
must keep up with that growth. Youth and
adult program participation numbers
continue to grow. Adding recreation
facilities after development occurs is
inefficient and costly.
4. There is an over reliance on School
District facilities. While there are benefits
of using school facilities, public access to
school facilities is limited. This results in
a lack of facilities for adult use and an
inability to assure public use to meet
community needs. The City should
continue to strengthen a cooperative
relationship with the School District and
should consider shared development of
recreation facilities when the opportunity
anses.
5. There is significant interest in a multi-
use community center. A community
center can serve as a hub of the community.
Given Minnesota's climate and the demand
for indoor athletic, meeting, social and
community space, a community center is
a desirable facility. A community center
was the number one need identified by the
residents in meetings and in surveys.
6. Now is the time to focus on land
acquisition for future facilities. As a
growing community with increasing land
values, the primary focus should be on
acquisition of land for key community
facilities such as a community center and
sport complexes. Acquiring land now
outside of the urbanized area will result in
huge cost savings.
In response to those findings the task force
prepared a draft set of recommendations
, .
to improve Farmington s recreatIOn
facilities. Those facility recommendations
were presented to the pubic at a community
meeting and via public opinion surveys.
The final facility recommendations were
refined based on the extensive public input
and to reflect Farmington resident's
desires. The following are the five priority
facility recommendations. These are the
top five facilities in order of importance
as reflected by the by the 100 people who
participated in the open house meeting and
the 158 people who filled out the public
opinion survey are described on the
following page.
8. PRIORITIES
The study recommendations are based on
the vision of providing high quality
recreation facilities for Farmington in
keeping with the input gathered by the Task
Force. The study recommendations focus
on five key facility priorities.
Priority Recreation Facilities
1. Community Center - Acquire
land and construct a multi-use
community center. Community
centers include facilities and
activities for all ages, abilities and
interests and help create a focal point
and sense of community. Examples
of potential community center
facilities are: gymnasiums, meeting
rooms, fitness equipment, senior
center, teen center, indoor
playground, swimming pools/
aquatic facilities, art center,
performing arts theater, ice arena,
etc. The specific components for a
Farmington community center
should be determined through a
feasibility study.
2. Sports Complex - Acquire land
and construct two sports complexes,
one for youth and one for adults.
These large parks focus on organized
athletics and typically contain a mix
of baseball and softball fields, and
turf fields for soccer, football,
lacrosse, etc. These facilities
typically need around 40 to 60 acres
of land per complex.
3. Land Acquisition - Actively
acquire land for future parks, trails
and community recreation facilities
in advance of development. Now is
the time to focus on land acquisition
for future facilities. As a growing
community with increasing land
values, the focus should be on
acquisition of land for key
community facilities such as a
Aquatic
Center
community center and two sport
complexes. Acquiring land now
outside of the urbanized area will
result in huge cost savings.
4. Indoor Gymnasiums - There is
a need for gymnasiums that are open
to the public. School gyms are
dominated by school activities and
do not meet the wide range of
community needs. The gyms could
be part of a community center and/
or constructed through a city-school
partnership agreement in a new
school as long as public access is
assured.
5. Trails - Continue to expand the
trail network. Aggressively pursue
trail construction funding and
connections according to the City
Trail Plan.

9. KEY
RECOMMENDATIONS
Key
Recommendations:
The City of Farmington should initiate the
following actions to meet the community's
recreational needs:
~ Land Acquisition
~ Community Center
~ Funding
1. Land Acquisition - Prepare a Park and
Recreation System Plan that identifies the
preferred locations for the community
center, a youth sports complex and an adult
sports complex, community parks, cultural
and fine arts, neighborhood parks, open
spaces, natural areas and special use parks.
The facility locations will be coordinated
with the Farmington Trail Plan and growth,
annexation and development plans. The
System Plan should include an estimate of
land acquisition and facility construction
costs.The system plan will act as a
blueprint for land acquisition and facility
development. Acquire the larger land areas
needed for the sport complexes and
community center.
Community Center
w/ Outdoor Play
Facility
Ifthe City of Farmington can accomplish
one thing for the generations to come it
should be an aggressive and sustained
program of land acquisition for parks,
recreation facilities and open space. The
land will never be less expensive, there is
community support for land acquisition
and the acquisition will pay dividends in
the form of economically physically and
socially healthy community. The
16
opportunity to acquire larger parks and
recreation sites (20+ acre sites) is before
development occurs and before utilities
and improved roads serve the land. This
may mean acquiring land that is currently
outside of the municipal boundaries.
2. Community Center - Prepare a
feasibility study of a Farmington
community center. The study should
determine components, location, proj ect
costs, and funding options. A community
survey can help determine community
support for a bond referendum or other
funding strategy.
3. Funding - Develop a funding strategy
and begin steps to implement. This may
mean a bond referendum for land
acquisition. Leverage the bond funds with
other monies and partners. A
comprehensive funding and partnership
strategy should be prepared to address
short and long term recreation facility and
land acquisition needs. The funding
strategy should evaluate a wide variety of
funding sources including but not limited
to: park dedication, general funds, special
funds, bond referendums, sales taxes,
grants, sponsorships, and donations, and
should identify potential public and public-
private partnerships for facility
development and operation. Potential
partners identified during the study were
School District 192, Dakota County Fair
Board, Dakota County, Dakota County
Parks, the YMCA, the surrounding
townships and others. Contact owners of
key properties about their willingness to
sell and/or donate land. The priority
facilities and recommendations are based
on the Task Force study and public opinion
survey results.

SUBJECT: Main Street Project - Trunk Highway 3 Considerations
DATE: February 17,2004
INTRODUCTION
At the public hearing for the Main Street Project that was held on April 7, 2003, (see attached
Council meeting minutes) the decision to close the Main Street connection to Trunk Highway 3 was
deferred. Attached with the minutes is the petition presented at the public hearing that was received
by residents requesting the closure of Main Street.
DISCUSSION
As Council will recall, the closure of Main Street at Trunk Highway 3 was an identified goal of the
Trunk Highway 3 Access Management Study that MnDOT performed in late 2002 (see attached
study map). Also included is a memo from the City's traffic engineer regarding the proposed closure.
It is staffs recommendation that the closure of Main Street be implemented, primarily for the safety
concerns that the closure will address. If it is assumed that the closure is to be pursued at this time,
whether or not MnDOT will participate in the cost will need to be determined.
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost for the closure was included in the overall budget for the Main Street Project. MnDOT's
potential participation in this improvement has not been estimated at this time.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council review/discussion of the issue and direction to staff whether or not to pursue the closing of
Main Street at Trunk Highway 3 as part of Phase II of the Main Street Project.

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Main Street Area Reconstruction Project - Engineering
The proposed improvements to the Main Street Project area include the
reconstruction of streets, construction of new storm sewer and the reconstruction
and upgrading of trunk and lateral sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer.
The reconstruction of the street and utilities along Main Street also require street
and utility improvements along 4th Street, 5th Street and Willow Street. Trunk
storm sewer needs to be reconstructed along 4th Street from Main Street north to
the river. Trunk sanitary sewer needs to be reconstructed along 5th Street from
Elm Street to just north of the river to the MCES interceptor.
It is proposed the improvements be bid as two ,separate projects due to the size .-
and timing aspects of the projects. Phase 1 would consist of the streets and
utilities along all of 4th Street and 5th Street north of the railroad tracks and
Willow Street between 4th Street and 5th Street. Phase 2 construction would
consist of the reconstruction of Main Street between 3rd and 8th Streets, 4th Street
between Main Street and the railroad tracks, 5th Street from Elm Street to the
railroad tracks and 6th and 7th Streets 1/2 block north and south of Main Street.
* fDuring the neighborhood meeting on March 27,2003, a discussion was held
[:egarding the proposal to close off Main Street at Trunk Highway 3. Residents
Council Minutes (Regular)
April 7, 2003
Page 3
f;: who spoke at the meeting were in favor of the closure and a petition was also J
received.
-*
The city's assessment policy states that reconstructed streets and lateral utilities
are assessed at a rate of 35% of the improvement costs. Assessments for new
lateral street and utility costs are calculated at 100% per policy. Trunk sanitary
sewer, storm sewer and water main are funded from city trunk funds. Per policy
the Council is limited to whether they can assess to the appraised benefit that the
properties will receive from the improvements. According to the appraisal the
maximum benefit received would be $6,000 per residential equivalent unit. For
Phase 1 the actual assessed amount per policy would be $9,600, compared to the
$6,000 which is sustainable. In Phase 2 there are two different numbers for the
policy. Those that do not have storm sewer would be assessed at 100%, $17,200.
Where there is already storm sewer, the assessment amount would be $11,300.
The city cannot assess more than what the appraisal suggests. The total project
cost is $5,290,000. The assessed amount would be $830,900, and the city cost
would be $4,460,000. The costs would be funded with an improvement bond. An
annual tax levy to support the bonds would be necessary to fund the 65% of the
project costs. Councilmember Soderberg pointed out the difference in the amount
the city is able to assess and the actual assessment, will be picked up by the city.
He also mentioned the closure at Hwy 3 would just be the access onto Hwy 3, the
frontage road would remain open from Willow Street.
CCouncilmember Fitch asked if the decision needed to be made tonight regarding
the street closure. City Engineer Mann replied it would not need to be decided
tonight, as that part of the project would be done next year]Councilmember Fitch
then asked how many other projects similar to this could be coming in the next
few years. City Engineer Mann replied there are 4-5 projects. These projects
would also include utilities. Councilmember Fitch asked if the city can afford to
take on those projects, knowing we may need to eat 15-20% more assessment.
City Engineer Mann stated one of the things to be accomplished this year is the
pavement management program. The streets will be rated in the order they need
to be repaired and costs will be estimated.
Mr. Dick Hanson, owner of20 4th Street, asked what the life expectancy is of the
improvements. Staff stated it is 50-75 years. The new PVC ripe for sanitary and
storm sewer could be longer. Mr. Hanson then asked why 4t Street north of Main
Street to the river needs to be redone as it was done 30 years ago. Staff stated it
needs to be redone because trunk storm sewer needs to be installed. In 1997, it
was identified the pipe needs to be upsized. This needs to happen before
improvements can be made to the south. Mr. Hanson then asked why they are
assessed when they have adequate service? Why assess them for another part of
the city? Staff replied the storm sewer is totally funded by the trunk fund. They
are being assessed for street and water main improvements.

The City of Farmington is presently considering the closure ofa local street, Main Street, at its' intersection
with TH 3. This closure was a part ofMnDOT's study of access management along a portion ofTH 3 in
Farmington.
TH 3 is a very important north-south arterial to the City of Farmington. Proposed growth to the north will
increase the importance of that roadway and the traffic volumes will increase over today's daily volumes.
For instance, the Seed/Genstar AUAR indicated a 2002 daily volume of approximately 10,000 vehicles.
The projection to the year 2020 was estimated to be approximately 26,000 vehicles per day.
The present four lanes on TH 3 in the vicinity of Main Street will not be increased beyond that present
cross-section. Therefore, it is very important that the capacity of that facility be protected. One method of
doing that is to manage the access to/from the facility. Studies have shown that access management that
includes closure of some streets and/or driveways or consolidation of access does improve the roadway
capacity. Additionally, and quite importantly, access management decreases the crash potential along the
major roadway affected. We are quite certain that nobody would dispute that.
Main Street from TH 3 westerly is a local residential street. The street has numerous north/south
connections to Elm Street (CSAH 50) which would allow for more safe access to/from TH 3 via the
signalized intersection of TH 3 and Elm Street. The closure of Main Street at TH 3 will not create any
undue travel time disruption for those persons along Main Street. The overall benefit to the operation of TH
3 far outweighs any perceived disbenefit for Main Street residents. The creation of a more safe TH 3 is a
very positive step.
Emergency vehicle access does not appear to be unduly compromised by the proposed closure of Main
Street. From a traffic operations and safety point of view, we support the proposed closure.
If there are any questions concerning the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Resolution
Preliminary & Final Plat

Location of Property:
Located north of East Farmington and south of the St. Francis
Campus along Oak Street.
Area Bounded By:
Single-family residential to the south, west, and east, and an
assisted living facility to the north.
Existing Zoning:
R-2 - LowlMedium Density Residential
Surrounding Zoning:
R-2 to the west, R-5 to the north and PUD to the east and south.
Existing Conditions:
The property is vacant with a pond/wetland that exists on the
east portion of the property.
Lot Coverage and Sizes:
The maximum lot coverage for an R-2 zone is 30%.
minimum lot size for the development is 6,000 sq. ft.
minimum lot width is 60 feet measured at the front
setback.
The
The
yard
Topography:
The property is relatively flat.
Wetland:
A wetland exists on the east side of the property.
DISCUSSION
The applicant proposes to plat 33 single-family lots in the East Farmington 8th Addition. This parcel
was platted as an outlot in the original East Farmington development and was not a part of the
original PUD. Therefore, the mini-park configuration platted in the original East Farmington
development is not required in the East Farmington 8th Addition.
Lot Coverage
The maximum lot coverage requirement in the R-2 Zoning District is 30%. Given the size of some of
the proposed lots, it may be difficult for some future homeowners to construct decks, sheds, or
additions. Therefore, the City should require notification by the developer to potential purchasers to
avoid potential conflict. A condition of approval is included below that addresses this concern.
Access to St. Francis Property
Two (2) access points are provided along loth Street and II th Street through the 8th Addition to the St.
Francis property to the north to accommodate future development. Until such time as the St. Francis
property develops, hammerheads would be constructed on the St. Francis property to allow vehicles
to turn around. In order to accommodate the hammerheads, the developer must secure easements
from St. Francis. The developer will provide documentation of the easements prior to the Council
meeting on February 17, 2004. A condition of approval is included below that addresses this issue.
Sight Lines
East Farmington 8th Addition includes two (2) lots located on the west side of 9th Street. According to
the City's traffic engineer, visibility from these properties is limited due to the proximity of the curve
in 9th Street. Three (3) conditions are recommended to increase safety for the future property owners
and those who use this portion of 9th Street:
a) Install appropriate signage as recommended by the City Traffic Engineer,
b) Install turnarounds on the driveways for each of the two lots, and
c) Ensure that boulevard tree placement does not interfere with sight lines or sight
distances.
Application of these conditions would be reviewed during the building permit review process. A
condition of approval is included below that addresses these recommendations.
Drainage and Utility Easement
A drainage ditch currently exists on the St. Francis property adj acent to the north boundary of the 8th
Addition. As shown on the plat, the developer has provided an easement to accommodate the
drainage ditch. Since the easement is located on the St. Francis property, the developer must secure
the easement from St. Francis. The developer will provide documentation of the easement prior to the
Council meeting on February 17, 2004. A condition of approval is included below that addresses this
Issue.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 13, 2004 and continued its review to
February 10, 2004. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the plat contingent
upon several conditions that must be met prior to City Council approval. The applicant has since
submitted revised plans that have addressed the majority of the conditions. The remaining conditions
are listed below in the following section.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider the attached resolution approving the East Farmington 8th Addition Final Plat contingent on
the following conditions:
1. The Developer shall obtain a hammerhead easement from St. Francis, in a form approved
by the City, providing for the location of the hammerheads until such time as roadway
connections are constructed (if the roadway connections are not provided, the
hammerheads would be permanent). The Developer shall provide documentation of the
easements prior to City Council approval.
2. The Developer shall obtain a drainage and utility easement from St. Francis along the
southern portion of the St. Francis property to encompass the existing drainage ditch. The
Developer shall provide documentation of the easement prior to City Council approval.
3. The developer shall address the sight line issues for the two lots on the west side of 9th
Street by: a) installing appropriate signage as recommended by the City Traffic Engineer,
b) installing turnarounds on the driveways for each of the two lots, and c) ensuring that
boulevard tree placement does not interfere with sight lines or sight distances. These
conditions shall be reviewed by staff upon submission of building permits for the two (2)
lots west of 9th Street. Building permits shall not be issued for the two lots until these
conditions are met.
4. The developer shall notify potential purchasers of individual lots that the lot coverage
requirement may limit or prohibit future construction of decks, sheds, or additions due to
the size of some of the lots within the East Farmington 8th Addition. Notification shall be
provided in the purchase agreement or separate contractual document signed by the
purchaser. Proof of such document shall be provided to the City.
5. Execution of a Development Contract between the Developer and the City of Farmington
and submission of security, payment of all fees and costs and submission of all other
documents required under the Development Contract.
6. All engineering issues shall be addressed and approval of construction plans for grading,
storm water and utilities by the Engineering Division shall be granted.
Respectfully submitted,

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Amendment to Section 10-6-21 of the City Code Concerning Design Standards for
the Spruce Street Commercial, Mixed-Use, and Business/Flex Zoning Districts
DATE:
February 17,2004
INTRODUCTION
The design standards that currently appear in the City Code for the "Spruce Street Commercial" zoning
district are, in the opinion of City staff and others, less useful and less comprehensive than they need to
be. Staff is therefore recommending that the existing design standards be updated, and that the revised
standards be made applicable to all of the business-related zoning districts located within the "Spruce
Street Corridor Area." These districts include the Spruce Street Commercial District, the Mixed-Use
District, and Business/Flex Zoning District.
DISCUSSION
A copy of the existing design standards for the Spruce Street Commercial District has been attached as
Exhibit A. These standards were incorporated into the City Code around the time that a "Spruce Street
Commercial" zoning district was added to the Code, but well before any land within the City was actually
rezoned to a Spruce Street Commercial designation. In short, the existing design standards were
anticipatory in nature, and were not created in the context of a specific plan (by the City and/or by any
landowner or developer) for actual commercial development.
Since that time, the City has approved a Master Plan for the future development of the Spruce Street
Corridor Area, and rezoned land within that Area into three different business-related zoning districts, two
of which (Mixed-Use and Business/Commercial Flex) are entirely new. In the weeks following the
adoption of the Master Plan on September 2, 2003, City staff began working on a preliminary draft of a
set of revised design standards for these new [future] commercial areas. This draft was presented to and
discussed by the Planning Commission at its meeting on January 13,2004, and the draft was later revised
to reflect the Commissioners' comments. At a meeting that was held at City Hall on January 26, 2004, the
revised draft was reviewed by landowners Bob and Stan Knutsen, Gene and Randy Pedersen of New
Century (the Knutsens' developer), and other members of the Knutsen development team who were in
attendance (including their builder, architect, attorney, engineer, accountant, leasing agent and attorney).
The draft of the design standards was then revised again in response to comments and suggestions that
were made during the aforementioned KnutsenlNew Century meeting. A public hearing on this final draft
was conducted by the Planning Commission at its meeting on February 10, 2004. No public comments
were made at the public hearing in opposition of the final draft. The Planning Commission suggested one
final change regarding building facades, and then voted (5-0) to recommend that the City Council approve
and adopt the proposed design standards (as modified by the Commission at its meeting).
I have attached, as Exhibit B, the final version of the design standards that the Planning Commission
recommended.
City staff members will also highlight and explain a few of the more important design standards at
Tuesday night's meeting, and photographs illustrating some of the design concepts will be shown. For
example, attached to this Memo as Exhibit C is a photo of a portion of the Arbor Lakes commercial
development in Maple Grove, which exemplifies some of the features (building facades, rooflines,
sidewalks, lighting, etc.) that are addressed in the design standards that have been proposed for the Spruce
Street Corridor Area.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend Section 10-6-21 of the City Code by incorporating the proposed design standards for the Spruce
Street Commercial zoning district, the Mixed-Use zoning district, and the Business/Flex zoning district.
