SUBJECT:
Citizen Comments - Culverts along Akin Road
DATE:
August 4, 2003
INTRODUCTION
At the July 21, 2003 City Council meeting, a resident questioned why there are corrugated metal
culverts being stored on property west of Akin Road, just south of Middle Creek. The resident
expressed a desire to see the culverts removed due to aesthetic considerations.
DISCUSSION
During the Akin Road Culvert Project, the contractor had asked the property owner in question if the
old corrugated metal culverts could be stored on the property until the contractor could scrap them.
The property owner indicated at that time a willingness to take the culverts for his own use. In
researching the zoning ofthe property, it has been determined that the zoning of the property does not
allow for the storage of the culverts. Staff has contacted the property owner and the culverts should
be removed within a week.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.

6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Larry White, of Grand Projects, builder for Just Kidding Around Daycare, thanked
Council and staff for seeing the process through. It was lengthy due to a new material
that had not been used in the city before. He wanted to clarify a comment from an earlier
meeting regarding some ofthe technical information they supplied for the product. That
information was not available at the time of the April 30 workshop. A decision was
made by staff at that meeting to declare it was non-conforming. The following week the
technical information was supplied to the City Attorney and staff. He felt it might be
helpful to the development community to have a mechanism in the ordinance that allows
for new materials that come in. It would be helpful to have something in place that
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 21, 2003
Page 2
would give a developer an opportunity to go through a check list or process to get new
products approved without causing the issue to be bounced back and forth between
meetings.
a) Mr. Dave PritzlafI, 20255 Akin Road
Council did respond to Mr. Pritzlaff's comments from the previous Council
Meeting. Mr. Pritzlaff stated he had not received a response from
Councilmember Cordes, but he had not checked his mail today. Councilmember
Cordes stated she e-mailed a response to him and a response was mailed on
Thursday. Mr. Pritzlaff stated he received a response from Mayor Ristow stating
that he is not aware of any list so consequently the answer to Mr. Pritzlaff's
question is zero. Mr. Pritzlaffasked Mayor Ristow ifhe should take it that Mayor
Ristow does not have a list to terminate any other city staff? Mayor Ristow stated
that is your opinion you are the one that stated it, I didn't. Mr. Pritzlaff stated he
is reading the letter. Mayor Ristow replied you are the one that promoted that I
had a list. I am just responding back. Mr. Pritzlaffwas wondering how he should
interpret the letter. The letter says, "so consequently the answer to part two of
your question is zero." Mr. Pritzlaff asked again if that means Mayor Ristow does
not have a list and no agenda to get rid of anyone else? Mayor Ristow replied as
he told Mr. Pritzlaff from the beginning he is not aware of any list. Mr. Pritzlaff
stated so we can take that as no. Mayor Ristow replied you can take that any way
you want. Take it as you read it. Mr. Pritzlaff stated he would hate to
misinterpret this when it comes up in the future.
Mr. Pritzlaffthen stated he received a response from Councilmember Fitch
stating, "You are certainly welcome to interpret things the way you perceive
them. If it is about a certain recent event, I do not feel comfortable discussing the
question because of agreements in place. As far as politics goes, I do not believe
in playing politics and prefer telling things the way they are." Mr. Pritzlaff stated
Councilmember Fitch told everyone in the city he did not have the time for
politics and did not want to be on the Council again. Mr. Pritzlaff stated
Councilmember Fitch is playing politics, by getting on the Council for 15 months.
There are a lot of ways this can be taken.
Mr. Pritzlaff also noted there are culverts sitting along Akin Road which were left
over from the Akin Road culvert project. He would like to see those removed.
7. CONSENT AGENDA

1) Capital Outlay - Fire Department
Attorney Jarnnik and Interim City Administrator Siebenaler met with the truck
committee. Staff would like Council to approve the specifications with the
deletion of the last paragraph on page 5 ofthe specifications which provided for
the successful bidder to provide transportation for up to four members to go to a
pre-construction conference on site. Given the state auditors regulations,
historically the city would pay for that rather than the bidder. If there is a need to
send 1-4 members to a pre-construction conference, it would be brought to
Council as a city expense. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to
approve the bids and specifications for the purchase of a tanker fire truck with the
deletion of the requested paragraph. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
9. AWARD OF CONTRACT
10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Quarterly Customer Service Response Report - Administration
Staff presented the Quarterly Customer Service Response Report for January-
March 2003. There were 83 service requests with 41 surveys returned. Of those,
93% stated they received service in 1-3 days; staff received a 100% rating for
being courteous and helpful; and 93% of those were personally satisfied.
b) June 2003 Financial Report - Finance
Revenues and expenses were presented as of June 30, 2003. Licenses and permits
are at 75% of budget at 50% of the year. Intergovernmental revenue will not
achieve the budgeted amount due to the loss of LGA. This will amount to
$400,000 less than what was in the budget. Expenses are at 50%, exactly on
target.
c) Set Date Council Workshop - Project Updates -Administration
Staff requested the Council set a workshop to provide direction on a number of
projects such as the Recreational Facilities Task Force; the City Hall Task Force;
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 21,2003
Page 4
Spruce Street Corridor Task Force; the MUSA Review Committee and several
others. Staff will provide a brief update on each ofthe projects and solicit
direction from the Council as to how they would like to proceed. The workshop
was set for July 28,2003 at 7:00 p.m.
d) Approve Request to Make Improvements to the Rambling River Center -
Parks and Recreation
Staff requested money be allocated to make improvements to the Rambling River
Center. There are several reasons for the request to allocate money from
purchasing a piano to making improvements to the center. The improvements
would include building new offices to allow staff to work independently of each
other, moving the existing computer lab into the staff office being vacated, and
the vacated computer lab space will be expanded to allow for a fitness room.
Rambling River Center Coordinator Missie Kohlbeck, and Rambling River Center
Advisory Board Member Charlie Weber gave a presentation showing the
proposed changes to the center. The project will be done in five phases.
MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg to approve the request to reallocate
$4,500 that was identified in the 2003 Capital Outlay budget for the purchase of a
piano towards the Rambling River Center's improvement costs and to allow the
identified improvements to be made to the Rambling River Center at a cost not to
exceed $10,500. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
e) Ash Street Project Update - Engineering
At the June 23,2003 meeting with Castle Rock Township, staff was directed to
forward a draft Joint Powers Agreement/Orderly Annexation Agreement to the
Township for their review and approval The township met on July 17,2003 and
their comments will be sent to the city this week. The County has advised that the
deadline for projects that need to be included in the County's 2004-2008 CIP is
August 29, 2003. Councilmember Fitch noted the agreement says all the change
orders will be submitted and approved according to the terms of the construction
documents. He did not see any provision for a dispute. Staff stated one of the
things that will be worked out is that according to the June 23 meeting, the
township will not be participating in the cost of the project. At what level they
will be involved as far as change order approval has yet to be determined. If the
city is paying for the project and the change order, as long as the change order is
within the scope of the project, it may not be an issue. Attorney Jamnik stated
because the city will need the use oftownship right-of-ways and related facilities,
there may still be a need for the township to approve the initial plans as well as
change orders. Councilmember Soderberg asked about the duration and if it
leaves some ability for the township to go back on an orderly annexation after the
project has started. Attorney Jamnik stated no, the duration indicates the
agreement terminates for the combined project for the construction costs. The
orderly annexation agreement continues until annexation occurs or the parties
terminate the agreement. The agreement to terminate would have to be mutual.
This will be clarified in the final agreement.

The total project cost is $6.6 million in 2005, this assumes an inflation rate. The
County would pay $1.9 million which includes $1.7 million for the street and
$210,000 for the storm water. $2.1 million will come from trunk funds. The
remaining costs will come from deferred assessments, allowed assessments, and
the tax levy. The deferred assessments would be those properties which might
annex into the city. They cannot be assessed at this time, but the assessment will
be held until they do annex into the city. This is only a portion of the properties
which are identified as the businesses on the east side ofHwy 3. If they never
come into the city, the city will bear the cost of the improvements. The cost of
pond 8 will be $687,000 and is located in Castle Rock. Castle Rock does not have
the finances to pay for the pond. Trunk funds would be available to pay for the
pond if necessary, otherwise those properties that would come into the city on the
east side ofHwy 3 might have that included in any deferred assessments. The
allowed assessments are the residents that would annex into the city, such as
Highland Circle. The tax levy is the amount left over that the city would have to
provide over ten years to pay off the bonds for that portion of the street, sewer and
water that could not be assessed or paid by trunk funds. Staffwill bond for this
project in 2005 for $2.6 million. Over ten years, the levy would be $280,000 a
year. The city would be able to do the project in 2004, however the County has
stated they cannot do the project until 2005.
Mayor Ristow stated if Council is in agreement with this project with a few
modifications, he would like to have this on the August 4, 2003 Council agenda
for approval, and not wait until the August 18 meeting. He asked Attorney
Jamnik to expedite the agreement. The changes will be given to Council prior to
distribution ofthe Council packets. Castle Rock Township has indicated they are
agreeable to the annexation and they are agreeable to assisting in whatever way
they can in doing the project. Without their agreement, it is difficult to proceed.
The city needs their assistance to proceed with assessments. Staff will work with
the township to try to bring the agreement to the August 4 Council meeting.

The conditions of approval for the development contract are:
- The Developer enter into this Agreement
- The Developer provide the necessary security in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement
- The Developer record the plat with the County Recorder within 6 months after

this is in writing before construction begins. MOTION by Fitch, second by
Cordes adopting RESOLUTION R47-03 approving the execution ofthe
Riverside West Development Contract and authorize its signing contingent upon
the above conditions and approval by the Engineering Division. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
h) Adopt Resolution - Meadow Creek 4th Addition Preliminary Plat-
Community Development
This plat is located north of the Lake Julia Waterway, and south of the Riverbend
Development. Progress Land Company proposes to plat 123 single-family lots.
The zoning code requires lots in an R-l district to have at least 75 ft of street
frontage as measured from the front yard setback line and the minimum lot size
required is 10,000 sq. ft. This plat meets those requirements. Another issue is the
trail system. The original proposal called for trails along Dunbury Avenue
connecting the 2nd and 3rd Additions to the south to the Riverbend Addition to the
north. Additional trails have been requested. A connection has been added along
Road C connecting a future trail to the Dunbury trail. Another trail was added
along the wetland on the east side ofthe development. The conditions for the
preliminary plat are as follows:
1. The applicant shall comply with recommendations submitted by the MN DNR
and Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District.
2. The applicant shall provide trails in accordance with the letter from Randy
Distad, Parks and Recreation Director as modified.
3. Easements shall be provided to access Outlots A and B.
4. A Development Contract between the Developer and the city shall be
executed and security, fees, and costs shall be paid. Submission of all other
documents required under the Development Contract shall be required.
Another trail will also be located to the south of the waterway. This trail is part of
the construction for the Lake Julia Waterway. The developer will build that trail
with this plat. This trail is not shown on the plat, as the plans are separate from
this plat. Those plans will be coordinated in the review of the projects.

contingencies. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
i) Discuss Ordinance Amendment Request for Commercial Vehicles and Paper
Boxes - Community Development
The city has received a couple complaints from a resident regarding their
neighbor. One issue has to do with commercial vehicles and the other with paper
boxes. The van is parked in the driveway. The code states all vehicles shall be
parked on a hard surface driveway or parking apron and maintain a 5 ft setback
from side and rear lot lines. The code also states vehicles which are inoperable
are not allowed to be parked in the driveway, side or rear yard. Vehicles in excess
of 7,000 lbs or any trailer are not allowed to be in a city street from 2:00 a.m. to
5:00 a.m. The code does not prohibit commercial vehicle parking in the driveway
as long as they meet these provisions. There is a provision in the home business
section that says you cannot make your residence look like a commercial
residence, such as parking several vehicles in the front. In this case, it is a van
with ladders on top and the name ofthe business on the side parked on the
driveway. It is not in violation of any codes. The complainant has requested a
code amendment.
The second issue is for newspaper boxes. The resident noted that paper boxes are
not allowed in the code. There is a provision as to what is allowed in the
boulevards. Paper boxes and mailboxes are not listed. Mailboxes are covered
under federal law which allows them. Prohibiting paper boxes could be an
infringement on first amendment rights. Staff is not recommending to completely
ban paper boxes. Staff could regulate the number of paper boxes or their location.
Staffwas looking for direction from Council as to whether to prepare a code
amendment.
Councilmember Fogarty noted in her neighborhood the paper boxes are built into
the mailbox. If you order one of the regional papers, they put up an additional
box. Staff stated if a provision regarding paper boxes was added, those additional
paper boxes would be eliminated. However, staff is not recommending anything
like that. Staff may want to include something allowing paper boxes in the
boulevard. The options are making them allowed, or allow them and limit the
number, or that they have to be attached to a mailbox. Councilmember Fogarty
felt to have them attached to the mailbox would look better. Councilmember
Fitch noted in some developments they regulate the type of mailboxes and how
many are grouped together. The Post Office may have to be contacted to agree to
allow paper boxes on the mailboxes. Mayor Ristow noted that in some areas the
paper boxes are grouped with the mailboxes. Staff noted no other complaints
have been received. Councilmember Fitch stated some papers will not place their
paper in another newspaper's box. If the newspapers are not placed in the box,
they will be left on the driveway and then there will be a litter issue. Attorney
Jamnik agreed that this has happened in other cities. Some cities have tried to
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 21,2003
Page 8
have generic paper boxes, which raises the cost to the residents. Staff stated some
developments have covenants that regulate paper boxes, however this particular
neighborhood does not. Attorney Jamnik stated if there is a homeowner's
association, the paper boxes could be regulated under the covenants for the
homeowner's association. It is sometimes difficult to do this after development is
finished.
Mayor Ristow asked if there is anything regarding screening for commercial
vehicles. Staff stated the code does not address screening for commercial
vehicles. If they are parked on the side of the house, there might be other
regulations. But in this case, the vehicle is parked in the driveway.
Councilmember Soderberg drove to the area. The van is not rusty and is a newer
vehicle. He noted the van was parked in the driveway. The ordinance says either
on decorative rock or hard surface. Along the edge of the driveway is an I8-inch
strip of decorative rock. It falls within what is allowed by code. Regarding the
paper boxes, Councilmember Soderberg would favor allowing paper boxes in the
boulevards. Ifthere.are associations, it is up to them to restrict them.
Councilmember Cordes agreed.
Staff stated they have not contacted the owner ofthe commercial vehicle as there
is no violation of code. Councilmember Fogarty asked if it was possible to talk to
the owner? Councilmember Cordes stated that is more of a neighbor dispute.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated if staff were to tell him his neighbor
has a problem with the van in the driveway, it would identify the neighbor. The
complainant has clearly stated she does not want to be identified. Councilmember
Fitch suggested contacting surrounding cities to see how they handle the situation.
Council suggested amending the ordinance to attach paper boxes to the
mailboxes, but not limit the number and to make them an allowable use. Staff
urged the paper boxes be attached to the mailboxes due to plowing.
Councilmember Cordes suggested simply adding paper boxes to the allowable
uses in the code. Staff will forward an ordinance to Council regarding paper
boxes and do some additional research for commercial vehicle parking.
j) Request for Extension of Time - Riverbend Preliminary Plat - Community
Development
The Council approved the Riverbend Preliminary Plat on December 17, 2001.
According to ordinance, the final plat must be submitted within 100 days of
preliminary plat approval. On March 18, 2002, Council approved an 18-month
extension of the 100-day requirement. The extension will expire on August 1,
2003. The developer has requested an additional extension due to coordinating
grading plans with another developer to the south, working with FEMA, etc.
Staff is recommending an extension of approval for 12 months, which would
expire August 1, 2004. Councilmember Cordes recalled a discussion a couple
years ago regarding how many extensions should be allowed. Attorney J amnik
stated there might have been something in the Development Guidelines.
Council Minutes (Regular)
July 21,2003
Page 9
Traditionally, when an extension has been adopted, it was specified in the initial
extension it is a one-time only extension. This has been communicated to
developers in the past. This case may be justified due to the grading plans. It
would be at the discretion of Council to indicate whether it is open to another
extension. Councilmember Soderberg noted the developer has been very
cooperative in working with the city and surrounding neighbors. MOTION by
Soderberg, second by Cordes to approve the requested time extension of 12
months (August 1,2004) for the submittal ofthe Riverbend Final Plat. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.

13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Councilmember Soderberg: Regarding the Spruce Street Task Force meeting last
Wednesday, he wanted to apologize for his lack of attendance. After looking at the
Master Plan he thinks it is a good project and will meet with staff for an update.
Some time ago, a noise ordinance was discussed. He received a call from a resident
regarding trucks jake-braking. To pick on truck drivers is not legal, however Council can
adopt a noise ordinance and place signs that a noise ordinance will be enforced. This
would include trucks, cars with deep base sound systems, trains, etc. Interim City
Administrator Siebenaler stated there have been court rulings regarding jake-braking that
say you cannot use the phrase "jake-braking" in a sign. Any ordinance adopted would
have to address noise. It would have to be consistently enforced on all noise. It would
certainly include engine noise and those vehicles with the deep base stereo system.
Unfortunately, it could also include an ice cream truck. The city has to be careful how
such an ordinance is written. Staffwill research noise ordinances in other cities.
The next issue has to do with an anonymous letter he received today. He read a quote
from a newspaper which read, "To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be
right in doing it." The envelope he received deals with an issue he has been very vocal
about and very much opposed to. The individual that sent it seems to want to live in the
past. It is history. Even the events to which Councilmember Soderberg are referring to
are history. We need to get over it and move on and do what is right for the city.
Councilmember Fitch: He asked Interim City Administrator Siebenaler if being
Interim City Administrator also makes him the City Clerk? Interim City Administrator
Siebenaler replied he will assume that it does. Councilmember Fitch asked ifhe has to
meet the bonding requirements? Attorney J amnik stated the city has to change the name
on the fiduciary bonds. Finance Director Roland replied that was done two weeks ago.

The purpose of the meeting was for the Spruce Street Task Force to receive comments
from the Council and Planning Commission regarding the draft Master Plan for the
Spruce Street Corridor Area. Mr. Mark Koegler, of Hoisington Koegler, presented the
draft Master Plan. The Spruce Street Corridor is located west of Denmark Avenue, and
covers 450 acres. The site will accommodate retail and housing. There are major roads
on all sides. Three-fourths of the property contains MUSA. The current zoning is
Business Park, Agriculture, and Spruce Street Commercial. One of the early components
of this effort was to look at the market area. The market area contains a significant
amount of a rural component. The trade area is expected to significantly increase in the
next 20 years from 7,800 households to 24,000 households. The trade area includes
downtown Farmington, Hwy 3, and Hwy 50.
A series of concepts have been reviewed. The draft Master Plan contains parts of three
concepts put together into one concept. Some ofthe characteristics of the Master Plan
include a parkway along the river. Representatives from the development community
stated it is more feasible to build roadways when there is development on both sides. The
plan contains development on both sides of the road, but still maintains a green space.
Some concerns from Council were the need for expansion for growth. The downtown as
is exists is great, but the area is pretty well defined. To accommodate that, there is an
allocation of commercial spaces that matches the market projects for the overall trade
area. The area in the northwest is labeled as a business/commercial flex category, which
would have business park uses, but still have room to expand for commercial uses.
Another theme was the importance of water resources, particularly with the Vermillion
River as a trout stream. Another comment was housing, and making sure there were a
Joint Council/Planning Commission/Spruce Street Task Force Workshop

variety of opportunities. There is everything from townhouses to smaller lot single
family units. The green spaces are both parks and flood plain natural areas. Weare
dealing with a planning process that is intended to result in larger scale Master Plan
thinking for this area, not detail thinking. This should be approached from a land use
planning perspective in looking at the types of uses and using them as a guide to assess
proposals in the future. The concept plan has a focus on the green space that meanders
throughout the area. It can connect to other trail systems and link development. The
pattern shows commercial in the northeast, a business flex area, mixed use, and housing
to the south ofthe river.
The key features that carried over from the initial plans include a town square approach.
Not to compete with downtown, but to set up a complimentary square area that could be
used for a variety of public gatherings. This is located on the eastern portion ofthe area
and opens up to the green space. The mixed use area means retail, office on the ground
floor and residential above in some cases. This is a vertical mix, not a building
separation of residential and commercial. That is clustered around the community
square. Spruce Street needs to maintain itself as a very active thoroughfare. It needs to
have a commercial focus and an intensity that says that development and people want to
be in this area. We want to make this feel like an extension of downtown Farmington.
The northwest comer is the flexible space. It could be business park, but commercial
could replace portions of this. There are park resources on the north side as well as the
south side. The southern side is residential with opportunities to have housing along a
parkway. There are three key bridge locations which could be phased in.
Implementation will involve both public and private actions and requires a balance of
public and private costs. A key aspect is that public investments need to be strategic. It
needs to do something to attract private investment and then serve as a catalyst for other
things to take place. Public improvements need to precede private development. As far
as the allocation of improvement costs, Mr. Koegler suggested the city will need to
consider financing the construction of some key core improvements. Spruce Street might
be one of those. As Spruce Street leaves Denmark and goes west, there will be a segment
that will be costly. If Farmington is going to emphasize Spruce Street as the southern
connection through downtown into East Farmington as an important one, it may need to
precede or at least be done in compatibility with some ofthe development that may take
place there. There should be funding for oversizing of utilities to allow for growth as the
area expands from east to west. Amenities need to be built and funded by private and
public sectors. Some exceptions to that might be parks and the public square. The city
may need to look at dedication monies, grants, and local funds for these exceptions.
The next steps include an AUAR for the area, which is an environmental review
mechanism which allows the city to coordinate what happens with development in the
future. When the Master Plan is in final form, the city needs to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to include some of the recommendations that come out of the
Master Plan. This does not mean the design concept piece, but the broader land use plan.
And making sure there is a fit between land uses and the Comprehensive Plan. Following
that, there are some amendments to the Spruce Street Zoning District that will be
necessary to accommodate the range of uses. This was established with what was known
at the time. The Master Plan advances the dialogue in terms of types of uses, especially
Joint CouncillPlanning Commission/Spruce Street Task Force Workshop
July 18, 2003

with the mixed use that needs to be looked at to make sure the ordinance paves the way
for this to take place.
This property has great potential within the community. This city has a resource in the
downtown that many communities would love to have. There is a history of innovative
planning with what was done on the east end of Farmington. It was a very effective way
to combine housing and water resource management. This piece is the next one in line.
There is an opportunity to do a number of neat things that can enhance this community as
a great place to live.
Mr. Koegler asked for input from the Council and Planning Commission as far as
whether this is on the right track or things that need to be changed. Mr. Koegler would
like to take this to a community meeting while it is still in draft form and see what the
public has to say about it.
(Planning Commissioner Larson arrived at 6:30 so Chair Rotty called the meeting to
order for the Planning Commission at 6:32 p.m.).
Councilmember Fogarty was very pleased with the plan, and had no further comments.
Mayor Ristow asked about the location of the gas line easement and what will be done
with that area. Mr. Koegler stated they are shown as being park or open space.
Chair Rotty was very impressed with the work ofthe Task Force as far as land uses and
keeping in mind the Vermillion River. They did a great job. Commissioner Larson felt
this did not fit with what the committee was trying to do. They had talked about having
Spruce Street run along the river and having nothing in between Spruce Street and the
river. On this plan, Spruce Street is moved to the north and there is high and medium
density residential with mixed use in between. He thought they had talked about using
the corridor as a parkway with nothing in between the river and Spruce Street. Mr.
Koegler replied Commissioner Larson is correct. One of the previous concepts illustrate
a one-sided roadway with park on one side and development on the other side. At the last
meeting, the practical difficulty was discussed as to how the road is built. There are
significant segments where there is nothing but green space against the roadway. The
compromise from a market perspective was to deviate from that in some areas to allow
development that could back up and take advantage of the views and exposure the river
provides, at the same time providing the public great site lines and access to the open
space. The rationale was that this fit better with the market place and the way this might
be built. If we need to go back to a strict interpretation ofthe parkway, that can be done.
Commissioner Larson would like to see that done. If this is going to be the show piece of
the city, he felt it needs to be more of a parkway atmosphere to get the people down there
to make it enjoyable to come down and drive around. That is what was discussed before,
and he would like to stick to that. Mr. Koegler replied certain areas are still open to the
parkway. That gets lost in a plan detail. There could be restaurants that would have
walkway connections that would bridge through the development connecting the road to
the parkway. There are a lot of ways to connect the open space to the development
without strictly having roadway on one side. Commissioner Larson stated he liked the
concept of having restaurants back up to the parkway, but would like it moved more to
the west and maintain as much of the green space as possible. Mr. Koegler stated that
could be considered, but they were trying to keep a mass of this mixed use area that
Joint Council/Planning Commission/Spruce Street Task Force Workshop
July 18, 2003
Page 4
focused around the town square area. The further west it goes, the more questionable
their viability becomes.
Commissioner Johnson asked about the ponding and how much acreage it will take up.
Mr. Koegler replied there was a calculation, but he did not have the numbers with him.
The ponds are shown to illustrate the kinds of patterns that could occur. Commissioner
Johnson liked the design. He then asked how we transition this area to the downtown.
Mr. Koegler stated there clearly needs to be a strong link between this area and the
downtown. The existing land use pattern contains a number of public uses on the western
end, where you could define a more intense streetscape pattern. East of there is a single
family neighborhood where things could be done with sidewalks, lighting, etc. The city
will need to draw that connection graphically as much as possible. It is difficult due to
the neighborhood in between.
Community Development Director Carroll stated staffhas created a graphic of what is
along that route. He asked if it would be useful to incorporate that into the final draft.
The Planning Commission felt it would be key to have that area shown on the plan.
Task Force member Kris Akin urged Council to leave City Hall downtown. Iflocated on
3rd and Spruce Street, this would be a link to the Spruce Street Corridor. This comer is a
natural fit, and City Hall draws a lot oftraffic.
Task Force member Mike Heinzerling stated he also recalled the previous plan of
keeping the parkway along the river, but now this concept is better. Properties that back
up to this area have a higher value. It is better to not have a parking lot along the
parkway and have people cross the street.
Mr. Don Peterson, property owner, asked if 200th Street is a major thoroughfare, why
show it as a lower density? Mr. Koegler replied that was an oversight, and should be a
higher density.
Task Force member James Karlin stated he felt the area with the softball fields is a comer
stone to this area. The trails tie the areas together.
Mr. Mark Koegler stated there will be a community meeting July 31,2003 at the
Maintenance Facility from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. This will provide the community an
opportunity to comment on the plan. A final draft will be presented in August to the
Planning Commission. Community Development Direct Carroll stated they would like to
present this to the Council at the August 18 meeting.
Staff will begin some preliminary work on the steps that will occur after the final plan is
adopted. Staff will look at zoning, the comprehensive guide plan, and contact the
Knutson's developer as to what types of uses they are planning. Most of the attention for
now will be focused on commercial and retail.
Sources of income could come from the Metropolitan Council. Their Opportunity Grant
program helped fund the Master Plan. Staff has applied for a Development Grant which
provides financing for projects the Met Council believes has merit. There is $7.9 million
available this year. Staffhas requested a grant for extending Spruce Street, building the
bridge, and extending Spruce Street further to a north-south connection. The estimated
Joint Council/Planning Commission/Spruce Street Task Force Workshop
July 18, 2003
Page 5
cost is $1.6 million. The Met Council will make a decision on awarding the grants on
December 10,2003.
(Councilmember Cordes arrived at 7:00 p.m.).
The next steps are to hold the Community Meeting, then it goes to the Planning
Commission for a Public Hearing on a draft of the Master Plan, then it goes to the
Council for formal adoption. Staffwill then look at changing the Comprehensive Guide
Plan and zoning code. The process is on schedule.
The meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m.

Audience:
Human Resources Director Wendlandt distributed a list of Executive Search Firms to
Council. The majority of cities do use search firms. It prevents any perception that staff
is trying to manipulate the process. City Administrator searches are more time
consuming because there is more information to search through. Interim Administrator
Siebenaler noted that if Council decides to do the process in-house, Human Resources
Director Wendlandt is very good at what she does. He does understand the perception of
staff picking their own boss, however he believes she could be objective. If Council does
not want to do the process in-house, staff is willing to do whatever Council wants. Staff
will try to find the best candidates for the city.
Mayor Ristow agreed with having Human Resources Director Wendlandt do the process.
Council could give her the criteria as to what they are looking for. It is just like any other
employee. He felt staff would be capable of advertising the same way the search firms
do. Human Resources Director Wendlandt stated staff utilizes the sanie methods such as
ICMA, different trade publications, League of Minnesota Cities, Star Tribune. Staff
would not have the contacts the search firms do for anyone who is out state or regional if
Council wants to look at a national or regional search. Interim Administrator Siebenaler
stated search firms also have access to an internal pool. The search firm maintains an
internal pool of candidates who are interested in moving to a certain size city or firm.
They would not be looking at published information, but specific criteria. Interim
Administrator Siebenaler stated when he searches for people, they search for people who
want to come to Farmington rather than people who just want police work. This is a big
factor in retaining people. In any method used, he strongly recommended that be one of
the criteria; someone who wants to come to Farmington.
Mayor Ristow asked if there is an abundance of candidates. Is there a legal formality on
how you eliminate candidates? Human Resources Director Wendlandt stated on the first
pass through, you need to look at who meets the minimum qualifications. After that, you
would look at the desire to come to Farmington, reference checks, etc. Attorney Jamnik
stated that is one of the reasons he is suspect of a non-Minnesota search firm. He would
have more confidence in Human Resources Director Wendlandt in complying with state
Council Workshop City Administrator Hiring Process
July 16, 2003
Page 2
laws, than with non-Minnesota search firms. The familiarity with state law is a benefit to
using a Minnesota firm or using Human Resources Director Wendlandt.
A search firm would take about six months. If done in-house it could be slightly shorter,
but staff would still have to do background investigations and research which would take
some time. For other employees Human Resources Director Wendlandt does reference
checks, or the department head. For higher level positions, the police investigator does
the background checks.
Councilmember Soderberg stated he has every confidence in staff doing the search,
however he is interested in the success ofthe person who is chosen. He felt keeping the
search at arm's length would go a long way toward ensuring the success of that person.
They have less opportunity to come in with a jaded perception from the public. He felt
strongly an outside search firm should be employed. He stated staff could do a fine job,
but if we want the new Administrator to be here any length oftime, it should be kept at
arm's length to help ensure that.
Councilmember Fogarty felt a search firm is the best way. They have pools of people
others are not aware of. She would like to exhaust everything, as this is the most critical
position in the city. This will not be an easy search.
Councilmember Fitch stated if done internally, there will still be advertising cost. He
would be against a lot of input by the person doing the search. They are sales people and
are there to push their product. He would like them to present the candidates and let
Council determine if they meet the qualifications. Councilmember Cordes agreed.
Search firms tend to push the individuals they want. If a search firm is used she would
like them kept at arm's length and stick to Council's qualifications.
Interim Administrator Siebenaler asked Council if they want a search firm to give staff a
pool of candidates, let staff look at minimum qualifications and then turn it over to the
firm again to finish the process. Councilmember Fitch stated he searches through
applications and has a yes/no pile. The supervisor has the same pile and sorts through
them, and sometimes there is a lot of conflict. They then discuss the candidates and what
makes them qualified or not. Everyone interprets a resume differently.
Mayor Ristow asked about the cost. Staff stated the cost is approximately $15,000 -
$20,000 depending on how much Council would want the search firm to do. Interim
Administrator Siebenaler asked Council how they would like to select a search firm.
Through an RFP process or have one selected? With an RFP Council would see what the
firm would suggest as part of their selection process, the cost, and their services. Council
would interview the firms they are interested in and make a counter-proposal. An RFP
would be sent to a list of perspective search firms. Based on the interest, Council may
not have to reduce the list further. By doing an RFP Council would not have to take the
lowest price.
Council agreed to use a search firm. An item will be placed on the July 21,2003 Council
agenda, approving staff to distribute an RFP. The RFP will be advertised for two weeks
within and out of state. It will take a couple weeks to receive responses. The RFP will
also be sent directly to Executive Search firms. The profile will be updated in-house to

save cost. Council should offer comments or suggestions on the previous profile and
respond to Human Resources Director Wendlandt.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ongoing projects and make sure Council
agrees with the direction staff is taking.
City Hall Task Force
After the Maintenance and Police Facilities the 1999 Task Force identified City Hall as
the 3rd facility needed. After City Hall, they listed a Parks facility and Satellite Fire
Station. As far as City Hall, the task force has recommended 3rd and Spruce Street as the
site for a new City Hall. Soils testing has been completed on that site and a clean report
was received. The goal was to decide by the end of July. There has been a change in
funding options for City Hall. The legislature approved a new rule that if you bond for a
City Hall, Police, or Public Safety facility you do not have to have a referendum. You
could issue G.O. bonds and not have to go out for referendum and it can be done without
an election and still get the G.O. bond rate. Staffhad advocated for lease revenue bonds
which is still an option. G.O. bonds provide a better rate rather than lease revenue bonds.
If CDBG funds were used to acquire property and the original intention was for the
property to be used for private use and ends up being used for public use you have to
figure out what amount of money was used and it has to be repaid, but you do not lose the
money. The money is recycled and used for other CDBG projects in town. Ifthe 3rd and
Spruce Street site is chosen, this will have to be done unless an exception is found. The
CDBG money was used to clean up blight. The total cost of the project was
approximately $110,000 and the city paid $40,000, so there would be $70,000 to be used
for another CDBG project. At the last discussion regarding City Hall, Council had some
concern about the 3rd and Spruce Street site. The Task Force has turned the decision over
to the Council, however the Task Force would like to be kept informed.

Staffhas had ongoing discussions with Mr. Blaha regarding acquiring his property. The
City Attorney was concerned as to how that was approached. If it was apparent that the
city was interested in acquiring the property, and there was a tenant in the building, it
could subject the city or HRA to relocation expenses. The Attorney suggested staff talk
with Mr. Blaha regarding terminating the lease with the tenant and have the tenant vacate
the property. The HRA would then enter into a purchase agreement. Mr. Blaha will talk
with the tenants. He is very interested and did not want to wait 60 days. Staffhas agreed
on a purchase price with Mr. Blaha. Mr. Blaha has asked his attorney to draw up an
agreement to be given to the tenant whereby they would agree the lease would be
terminated by a certain date. There will also be a provision where the tenants will agree
not to seek a claim for relocation expenses. The question is whether that would apply to
claims made against Mr. Blaha or Mr. Blaha and the city. He will discuss this with his
attorney.
Councilmember Soderberg stated the HRA would be purchasing the property anyway. If
not for a City Hall, then some other project. He felt any shortcomings with the site could
be overcome for a City Hall. The HRA is 60 days away from a signed Purchase
Agreement plus 60 days for closing, for a total of 120 days. The options are:
1. Continue on track and bring a Purchase Agreement to Council.
2. If Council is not interested in the site for a City Hall, then other sites will have to
be reviewed.
For purchase purposes it is a good idea to purchase the site regardless whether or not City
Hall will be built there.
Mayor Ristow stated he is not in favor of City Hall being on the site. It is a bad site and
he has not had any good comments from residents about putting City Hall there because
of the space and location. He thinks it is a poorly designed site for the environment. The
accountant's letter stated we should be looking at a site for 50 years in the future, not 20
years. We would also be taking more taxable land off the property taxes. Residents have
commented they would have to pay more taxes. Staff asked the Mayor if it was his
opinion we should abandon the idea of City Hall completely or look for a different site.
Mayor Ristow replied a different site.
Councilmember Fitch stated he is not 100% sold on the site. Staff asked ifthere was any
objection to construction of a City Hall or ifthe objection was purely to the site.
Councilmember Soderberg stated City Hall is a very necessary facility. According to the
1999 Task Force, City Hall is the next facility. It will not get any cheaper. He has no
objection to the site. Councilmember Fogarty felt it is proactive to have a new City Hall
and in keeping with what we need to do for the city. Her biggest concern is where else to
look for another site. The Spruce Street Corridor area has been mentioned, but that could
take years.
Interim Administrator Siebenaler stated the city owns a large lot on the Spruce Street
Corridor next to the arena, the old Frontier site. It has to be as big as the 3rd and Spruce
Street site without the drawbacks. It will not have the accessory parking like 3rd and
Spruce, but it is across from the High School. Otherwise, the city would be looking at
some major renovation or redevelopment downtown or waiting for the Spruce Street
Corridor. The original concept for that property was for a second sheet of ice. The city is
Council Workshop Project Updates
July 28, 2003
Page 3
a long way from supporting a second sheet of ice. The city cannot support one sheet.
Community Development Director Carroll provided a map of the area. At one time that
area was shown as flood plain. Staff is not sure where the flood plain line is currently. If
it has not changed, staff could apply to FEMA to get the line changed.
Mayor Ristow would like a campus area for City Hall, a Fire Station, and the Library. He
would like to see this planned in the Spruce Street Corridor area. Community
Development Director Carroll stated staff could talk with the Knutsen's about their plans
for the area. Their plans for the area closer to Hwy 50 are more firm than the area to the
south. Mayor Ristow stated the Peterson property is open further to the west. Staff
replied that could take some time for development to go that far west and for a road to be
built. Mayor Ristow also suggested the area south of the Fire Station. If the county looks
at a new Library, he would like to see it by City Hall. It would also be good to have a
Community Center or YMCA. Unless buildings are tom down in downtown, there will
not be room. Community Development Director Carroll felt the Frontier lot is twice the
size of 3rd and Spruce Street.
Councilmember Fogarty was not set on a specific site, but it does need to tie in with the
Spruce Street Corridor. She would be very open to looking into the vacant lot. This
could solve the parking issue. It is more important to link City Hall to Spruce Street
rather than having it next to the Library. Mayor Ristow mentioned the area draws a lot of
traffic for hockey games. If there is a Council Meeting at the same time, it could cause
problems with parking. Staff stated there would be parking across the street at the High
School.
Interim Administrator Siebenaler asked if Council would like them to reconvene the Task
Force and ask them to broaden their horizons. The Task Force was limited in their
parameters to keeping City Hall downtown. Staff could ask them to move out of the
immediate downtown. The Task Force might not have viewed it within their right to
move City Hall out of downtown. Council agreed to have staff check with the Parks and
Recreation Commission to see what they think.
Park Facilities Task Force
There are 17 members on the Parks Facility Task Force. They have identified 8 goals
and 2 rules which are everyone is allowed an opportunity to speak and the final report is
supported by everyone. The Task Force will do a needs assessment to see where we are.
Location has not been discussed yet. First they will identify needs and set priorities.
They have developed a timeline with completion in December 2003. The have started
working with the consultant who has begun putting together a list of different facilities, in
both the school district and citywide. Councilmembers Cordes and Fogarty are also on
the Task Force. Mayor Ristow would like to see the facilities tied in with the school
district and other groups such as the YMCA, Lifetime Fitness, etc. Partnering with the
school district which would allow outlying communities to participate through the school.
Council felt staff is going in the right direction.
Satellite Fire Station
Staff has been reviewing budgets and one of the needs that has been identified is a
satellite fire station. Fire Chief Kuchera stated in 1989 a need was addressed for a
Council Workshop Project Updates
July 28, 2003
Page 4
satellite station to the north. This is an ongoing desire. The Eastern portion of the city
has also grown since then. The railroad tracks were also an issue. When the land was
purchased for the Maintenance and Police facilities there was supposed to be room for a
satellite fire station. What he has in mind for a Fire Station would fit on the site
depending on placement ofthe building. The need is there. Response times to the north
are about 15 minutes. A third to half of the fire fighters are coming from the north. They
have to come south for the apparatus and then go north again. Fire Chief Kuchera stated
he understands the needs of Parks and Recreation and Administration, but does not want
Council to forget to move in the direction of public safety.
Staff would like direction from Council if whether staff should develop a task force for
the satellite fire station to determine the best location and a timeline for construction.
According to the 1999 report the city should be starting this process now for a 2005
move-in date.
Mayor Ristow stated his records show that after the Police and Maintenance facility, it
was the Fire Station, Park and Rec facility and then City Hall. Finance Director Roland
stated the Task Force report which was present to Council in April 2000 lists the
recommendation and prioritization. The Fire Station is the last priority based on the Task
Force's recommendation as far as need. Mayor Ristow asked what the Task Force was
established for. Finance Director Roland replied this was the Public Facilities Task Force
established in 1999. Mayor Ristow stated the Task Force was for the Police and
Maintenance facilities. Staff replied no, it was for all facilities. The creation of the
Facilities Task Force was authorized by the City Council in 1999 to commission an
independent study of city public facility needs. Public facilities under study by the Task
Force included a Central Maintenance Facility, a Law Enforcement Center, a Satellite
Fire Station, an outdoor athletic complex and City Hall offices. Upon conclusion ofthis
effort the task force was assigned the responsibility of prioritizing the facilities under the
study and developing recommendations on city facilities space needs and public
financing strategies. The report was issued in 2000 and includes all of the meeting
minutes, maps, and reports. Each department had their report as well as information on
population growth, staffing growth, etc.
Councilmember Fitch asked if a task force was needed. We have the site, and know what
is needed. Fire Chief Kuchera replied they have reviewed the plans from Apple Valley
and Lakeville. He can see questions developing whether the station is placed in the north
or to the east. If the campus will accommodate a fire satellite station, then he did not feel
a task force was needed. If we need to look at other options, then he would like a task
force. Interim Administrator Siebenaler felt the Fire Department needed to decide if the
city is better served by a satellite on the west or the east side ofthe tracks given a 5-year
timeline on the bridge for 195th Street. Councilmember Fitch felt ifthe satellite is placed
to the east of the city it would be locked in for 5-7 years until 195th Street is extended.
Fire Chief Kuchera stated their preference would be to have a satellite station by the
Police and Maintenance facilities.
Interim Administrator Siebenaler stated issues to be reviewed would be soils correction,
storm water and whether the current pond is big enough. They would come up with a
plan for the satellite and then make sure it fits there. The site is located on the corner of
197th Street and Pilot Knob Road, just to the west of the Maintenance facility. Fire Chief
Kuchera stated the estimate to build the building is $500,000. They would have to
Council Workshop Project Updates
July 28, 2003
Page 5
shuffle some equipment. The Fire Department has been discussing new rescue
equipment. They would have to decide on a place for the rescue truck ifthey stay with
one truck.
Councilmember Fitch asked if the satellite would have to grow beyond this point. Fire
Chief Kuchera replied no, having a satellite station to the north would cut the response
time by 1/3. Councilmember Soderberg would like staffto look at the campus site rather
than develop a task force. Ifthe site does not work, then form a task force. Staffwill
draw up a plan with a footprint of the building and work with Engineering on the soils.
MUSA Review Committee
It has been discussed to reconvene the MUSA Review Committee to determine the next
allocations for MUSA. Options are:
1. Go to the Planning Commission to discuss composition of the committee, talk
about criteria used last time, and discuss the timetable and the process.
Recommendations would be brought to the Council for final decision.
2. Not go to the Planning Commission, but go directly to Council and have staff
make the recommendations and have Council make the final decision.
3. Not go to the Council and just reconvene the committee. Have the committee
decide for itself if it wants to change the criteria, work out a timetable and the
process.
The advantage of using the Planning Commission is that they are very dedicated
members with a lot of experience. They would be involved in implementing any
decisions made by the Council with regard to MUSA extensions. There are 212 acres of
MUSA left until 2005, then there is another allocation that goes until 2010. That would
be another issue, whether to limit the committee's work to the 212 acres, or extend their
scope to include the additional acreage available until 2010. The Met Council is not as
intent on having the MUSA contiguous to other sections. Whether to look at the 212
acres or look at a larger amount of acreage over a longer span of time would need to be
addressed at the beginning.
Interim Administrator Siebenaler stated the 2005 timeline is starting now. In order to
have lots available starting in 2005 the process needs to begin now and do the allocations.
By the time 200S gets here, there may not be any lots left. Mayor Ristow replied the city
will have lots. He has talked to builders and they are just building models and they are
hard to sell. The boom is not what we had and there is no rush. Residents say there is
too much growth already to accommodate what we have. Weare looking at a Fire
Station and a City Hall. You have to provide the services.
Mayor Ristow then stated he received a call from a resident regarding the water
restrictions. The water restriction is ridiculous it is a totally crazy thing for a city to be
doing. The city has a service we cannot provide. They do not cut the gas or electricity.
Weare charging the residents for this service and not giving it to them, we are giving
tickets instead. It is not fun to listen to someone who has a $25 ticket and needs to water
their lawn. Ifwe cannot provide the services, why continue to grow? Councilmember
Council Workshop Project Updates
July 28, 2003

Fogarty stated she does not get those calls and hears the opposite. Her neighbors are
water conservationists and glad people cannot water every day. Mayor Ristow stated if
you put in a $5000 lawn and have to let it bum up, you would not be very happy. Ifwe
are not going to provide the service, why have it? Councilmember Fogarty stated they
are not paying for water they are not using. Mayor Ristow asked what kind of country
are you in? You are in a free country. Are you going to dictate what they can use? They
do not say you cannot use gas or electricity. Councilmember Fogarty stated we have an
entire water tower dedicated to watering lawns in the summer and shut it down in the
winter. Mayor Ristow stated so why can't they use it? They have pumps that keep the
power up. He stated he is just saying what people tell him, he could care less. Residents
want to use the water when they see fit. They are paying for it. It is a service the city
provides. We have to say no, because we have a Water Board that issues a ticket. Let's
make it an ordinance so we are all responsible for it, instead of three people residents
cannot come back to like they do with the Council. Ifwe pass an ordinance, the tickets
could be challenged in court. This way, residents have no way to challenge the tickets.
Fire Chief Kuchera stated residents have to understand that in the summer, there is a real
concern with water tower levels today. There can be mechanical problems, we cannot
plan for. Ifwe did not have those restrictions on today, there would be real problems.
Mayor Ristow replied increasing by another 2000 homes is not going to help if we are not
prepared. Finance Director Roland stated the Water Board asked Council to pass an
ordinance for water restrictions and the Council chose not to pass the ordinance. That is
when the Water Board adopted the administrative policy. Mayor Ristow replied we said
it was fine the way it was to leave it odd-even days. The Water Board overrode Council.
Ifwe have to be accountable for it, we should take the heat. He is not going to take the
heat for someone else when he has no say over it for something as ridiculous as a $25
fine. Do they need the money that bad? Let them challenge it in court, because 90% of
them would be thrown out because it is ridiculous. They are paying for the service.
Councilmember Fogarty stated she did not know if she would build another water tower
for people to water their lawn all day. Mayor Ristow stated how can we add more houses
when we cannot service what we have. Councilmember Fitch felt the odd-even
restriction is great. People are having a problem with hours. Not everyone works 8:00
a.m. - 4:30 p.m. A lot of people work nights. They sleep in the morning and cannot
water their lawn in the afternoon.
Community Development Director Carroll stated the fact that we are starting the MUSA
process does not mean anyone has made any decisions on how much growth if any, to
accommodate. If Council does not want to allocate any of it, staff is fine with that.
Mayor Ristow stated last time we did this everyone that owned land wanted it developed.
Finance Director Roland replied at that time we encouraged them to do so as part of the
dual track program. The purpose was to develop the MUSA Review Committee and
making those people aware of what they had to do to be in place for MUSA. Mayor
Ristow asked what has changed as far as transportation since then. The next two pieces
of land were Murphy and Finnegan that was suggested to be developed. We need to have
208th Street done and a north-south connection. Mayor Ristow stated he is not opposed
to reconvening the committee, but people hear it and everyone will want to get their land
in. He wanted to have more transportation routes before more land is allocated.
Community Development Director Carroll stated some people that apply get turned
down. The Planning Commission can make a recommendation to Council as to the
Council Workshop Project Updates
July 28, 2003
Page 7
process. If Council wants to place restrictions on who can apply, that can be discussed.
Staff wants to do this because every week people come in and ask about areas on the map
that do not have houses, asking what is going to happen. Staff tells them Council needs
to give direction as to how they want to phase future MUSA extensions. That is the
reason for getting the committee together again. If Council only wants to allocate 50
acres in the next five years, that's fine. Then staff knows what to tell people.
Mayor Ristow stated there are a lot of other factors that need to be considered.
Transportation issues have always been the number one concern. We do not have the
routes to keep traffic moving. If they develop Murphy and Finnegan land without
additional routes, Akin Road will be suicide by putting more traffic on that road. Staff
agreed 20Sth Street and 19Sth Street are critical routes.
Council agreed to have staff get a recommendation from the Planning Commission and
bring it to Council. Council will see the recommendation in October or November.
Councilmember Fitch felt the Council and Planning Commission do not talk enough and
would like a joint meeting. He would like this meeting to be held in the middle to the end
ofthe process.
(Fire Chief Kuchera left the meeting at 8: 15 p.m.)
Spruce Street Extension
There will be a Community Meeting on July 31 for the community to ask questions, look
at maps and hear a presentation. The comments received from the meeting will be used
to finalize the draft ofthe Master Plan which will come to the Council August IS. The
Planning Commission will review it at their August 12 meeting and make a
recommendation to Council. There have been meetings with representatives of the
Knutsen's and New Century. Discussions are being held on how to coordinate the
AUAR and Master Plan process. They are also interested in what types of uses are
allowed. Staff will make recommendations to the Planning Commission regarding
permitted and conditional uses at the August, September, and October meetings. Right
now there is a list of permitted uses in the Spruce Street district. Some of the things the
developer wants to do are already listed as permitted, some are not. The Planning
Commission and Council have to add them to the list. Once they are added to the list, it
needs to be decided if they will be permitted or conditional uses. The developer wants
them all to be permitted. Staff feels there are a couple uses that should be conditional to
regulate traffic, etc. The goal is not to prohibit any businesses, just to make them
permitted or conditional. If they are determined to be conditional uses it would be to
allow some extra oversight. Council agreed with the direction staff is taking.
Councilmember Fitch noted the Spruce Street corridor also goes to the east. He asked if
there was any discussion regarding opening the area east ofHwy 3. Interim
Administrator Siebenaler stated there was discussion of opening Spruce Street when East
Farmington was developed. Walnut Street would have to be closed because of highway
access issues. There was considerable resistance from residents along Spruce Street. The
original study for East Farmington opened it all the way through to allow a gateway to
the downtown area. It would take considerable will from the Council to open that up.
Councilmember Fitch stated we are closing Main Street. That leaves Elm Street for a
corridor. Ifwe are trying to build a thriving downtown, we cannot limit the ways to get
Council Workshop Project Updates
July 28, 2003
Page 8
to downtown. Unless we look at a longer range plan we do not have a downtown. It will
be too inconvenient to get downtown. Once that is done, you will kill the downtown.
Some ofthe properties from 3rd Street west are not conducive to a corridor. How do you
take care of some of those things while building a downtown that people want to come
to? Interim Administrator Siebenaler asked if Council wants staff to explore that
possibility with MnDOT. Mayor Ristow replied at a previous meeting with MnDOT,
they would allow it, but the city would have to close Elm Street because of the location of
the stop lights. That is why Elm Street was extended. The trucks are used to Elm Street,
if we send them down Spruce Street, through a residential area, that will not go over well.
Community Development Director Carroll stated the Hoisington people and most ofthe
transportation people have liked the idea of having that longer east-west connection
running through the community. They envision Spruce Street running all the way west to
the border to alleviate some of the traffic on Hwy 50. Going to the east would be the
same. People have discussed property to the east of East Farmington being annexed into
the city. It would make sense for that new residential neighborhood to be able to connect
along Spruce Street with the rest ofthe community. The Hwy 3 Access Management
Study devoted some attention to intersections and what the spacing should be. There
may be some information already regarding opening Spruce Street and what the spacing
should be. Mayor Ristow suggested if it was toned down and made more like a parkway
and restrict the trucks it might be better.
Councilmember Fogarty has received inquiries as to whether there will be covenants in
the Spruce Street Corridor area, such as strict aesthetics. Community Development
Director Carroll replied there are some that exist now even though there are no buildings.
The question is whether to keep them as is or modify them. As part of the process they
will be reviewed. The Planning Commission and HRA would like to see high quality
development. In some cases you have to have standards that are set high and require
people to comply with them.
Ash Street Proiect
The township has not given the results of their review to the city yet. Their lawyer is
reviewing the agreement first and then they want to have another meeting to make sure it
is correct. The agreement should be available July 30, and will be in Council's agenda
packets. Castle Rock is concerned the city will do a land grab for their commercial area.

Cataract Fire Relief Association 2004 Pension Request
DATE:
August 4, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The Farmington Fire Department Cataract Relief Association has submitted its request for the
2004 pension benefit and municipal funding for that organization.
DISCUSSION & BUDGET IMPACT
The Board of Directors met on July 22,2003 and approved a request to the City of Farmington to
increase the annual benefit to $3,050, effective January 1, 2004. The City's contribution to the
Fire Relief Association in 2004 is proposed at $55,000.
The request to increase the annual benefit is the first such request since 2000. A historical
compilation of pension benefits is included with this memo.
Council should be aware that approving this increase, in conjunction with the current investment
environment and the staffing levels of the fire department, could result in a required statutory
contribution in excess of the budgeted $55,000. Under state law, the City's required statutory
contribution is computed after the Relief Association's annual audit is completed. Therefore, the
actual amount of the contribution would be known in June 2004. If the pension request is
approved, the City would contribute no less than $55,000 in 2004 but may be required to
contribute more (as is reflected on the "Officer Certification" page 5 attached).
ACTION REOUIRED
Consider approval of an amendment to the Fire Relief Association by-laws increasing the annual
pension benefit to $3,050 effective January 1, 2004.

Subject: Association Pension Request for 2004
The Board ofDiI:ectors.ofthe-Farmingron.Fy.e-Department Cataract Relief Association
met on July 22, 2003 to discuss the 2004 pension request. After much discussion the
Board felt that an increase in oor yearLy. pension. was-in order for a ooup1e. of r~sons;
1. The Association has not had an increase in three years.
2. The economy. seems- tobetumingarouml- and our investments- have sb.own
to be performing since the first of the year.
The. Cataract Reliet'Association-is r.equesting a yearly increase-in the pension 01'$-50.00
which would put it at $ 3,050.00 per year. The city's contribution would be $55,000.00.

A. Draft Snow Removal Policy
Parks Maintenance Supervisor Hayes presented information that came from the subcommittee that was formed.
Hayes recommended that the language in the current Snow Removal Ordinance be changed to include the word
"designated" next to the word trails. Hayes presented information about the draft policy that the subcommittee
has been working on for trails, sidewalks and outdoor rinks. Discussion on snow removal on outdoor rinks
occurred. Commission members felt that not having snow removal on weekends at the outdoor rinks was
acceptable. They would like to get information out to users in advance of the outdoor ice season so that some of
the users would take care of snow removal on the outdoor rinks on the weekends. A suggestion was made to
have shovels available for users to clear snow on weekends if it is needed. Commission members would like to
have Hayes draw up a map that shows the sidewalks and trails and identifies the priority order of snow removal
on the trails and sidewalks and bring it back for review at the August meeting.

and ideas presented at the meeting. Oswald noted the goals and rules that were identified during the fIrst

information that comes out of the meetings. The City's web site, brochures and the media were identifIed as
potential venues for getting this information out to the public.
C. Funding for Rambling River Center's Remodeling Project
Senior Coordinator Missie Kohlbeck presented information on a change to the remodeling project at the
Rambling River Center. Stafffelt that the office walls should be permanent insulated walls that are extended to
the ceiling rather than temporary walls that only extend half way to the ceiling. It was felt that this change
would maintain confidentiality that is needed for staff. Kohlbeck also requested that money identified in the
Capital Outlay for a new piano be reallocated for the remodeling project. Some discussion ensued about how
much use the piano received. Kohlbeck stated that it rarely gets used maybe three or four times a year. Johnson
thought it might get used more for recitals if there were a better piano available. Kohlbeck stated that she rarely
if at all gets requests to hold recitals at the Rambling River Center. Motion by Buringa and seconded by
Higgins to recommend to the City Council to reallocate the money identified for a new piano to be used for the
remodeling project at the Rambling River Center. APIF. Buringa moved and Higgins seconded to recommend
to the City Council to approve the remodeling project with the change of building permanent walls for the staff
offices rather than temporary walls. APIF.
D. Park Signs
Director Distad showed Commission members some samples of park signs that he has been working on to
purchase. The new signs come from a company called Cylex. The signs are made from a composite mixture of
aggregate and resins that give it a concrete appearance. It can be made with a smooth surface or rough surface.
Commission members seemed to favor the rough surface because it seemed to match the atmosphere associated
with parks. He stated that he working to get a proposal back from the sales person on cost and design work. He
thought that he could have this information back to the Commission members for the August meeting.
VI. Staff Report
Director Distad updated Commission members on the status of the vending agreement with Coke. Staff
received a better offer from Dahlco Music and Vending and the City Council approved the agreement with them
rather than with Coke. It was for fIve years and they sell both Pepsi and Coke products. He stated that Dahlco
currently services the vending machines at the Arena, City Hall and Rambling River Center. Director Distad
provided information on the National Institute for Recreation Inclusion Conference, which is a national
therapeutic recreation conference that will be held in September in Bloomington, Minnesota. He stated that if
any Commission members besides Johnson are interested in attending this conference, they should contact him.
Director Distad reminded Commission members of the upcoming park master planning meeting that will be held
at the Maintenance Facility. He invited Commission members to attend the meeting.

sidewalks, park sign proposal, update on Spruce Street Corridor Master Plan and Update on the Meadowview

SUBJECT:
Easement Vacation - Bristol Square 4th Addition
DATE:
August 4, 2003
INTRODUCTION / DISCUSSION
The City Council approved the final plat for the First Addition of Bristol Square in 1998. The
approved plat included perimeter easements around all outlots, including those designated as outlots
for the development of future phases of Bristol Square. In the time since the First Addition was
approved, the configurations of Outlots "I" and "J" were slightly modified to accommodate a new
design for the 4th Addition. The modification caused the easements platted with the First Addition to
be inconsistent with the configuration of the Fourth Addition.
The final plat of Bristol Square Fourth Addition was approved by the City Council on January 21,
2003. In order for the County to record the final plat, the existing easements associated with the First
Addition must be vacated. When the easements are vacated, the Fourth Addition could be recorded,
thereby providing new drainage and utility easements.
ACTION REQUIRED
Adopt the attached resolution vacating the described drainage and utility easements in the Fourth
Addition of Bristol Square.
Respectfully submitted,

Approve Donation
DATE:
August 4, 2003
INTRODUCTION
Premier Banks has expressed an interest in donating up to $10,000.00 towards the purchaSe of a
new scoreboard at the Arena but has requested that several conditions be placed on the donation.
DISCUSSION
Dwight Bjerke, Facilities Maintenance Supervisor, approached Premier Banks about their
interest in purchasing advertisement space at the Arena. During the course of the conversation,
Dwight mentioned that the City would be purchasing a new scoreboard at the Arena and
wondered if Premier Banks had any interest in donating money towards the purchase ofa new
scoreboard in exchange for advertising their name on the scoreboard. Premier Banks responded
that they would be interested in donating up to $10,000.00 towards the purchase of the
scoreboard, but would do so on three conditions:
1. They would be able to have exclusive advertising rights on the scoreboard for the life of
the scoreboard.
2. They would be able to have two years of advertising on the Arena's resurfacer at no cost.
3. Allow Premier Banks to have the first right of refusal for purchasing advertisement on the
resurfacer after the initial two years of free advertisement have expired.
BUDGET IMPACT
The condition of having two years of advertising at no cost on the Arena's resurfacer, will result
in the City not having an opportunity to generate $500 per year in advertisement fees. Currently
no one has purchased advertisement space on the resurfacer. Purchasing this scoreboard would
also eliminate the maintenance costs associated with operating the existing scoreboard.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the attached resolution with the conditions of the donation stated.

INTRODUCTION
The final Plat for Meadow Creek Third Addition was approved by the City Council on June 16,2003.
In association with the project, the developer has also applied for a wetland alteration permit. An
application is required when projects impact water/wetland resources regulated by local, state and
federal agencies implementing the MN Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991.
DISCUSSION
According to the permit application, 10,520 square feet (.24 acres) of wetland will be filled and
18,150 square feet (.41 acres) of wetland will be excavated to maintain the necessary wetland
hydrology. The applicant is proposing to provide .67 acres of wetland and .58 acres of upland buffer
to comply with the Wetland Conservation Act replacement ratio requirement of 2: 1.
John Smyth of Boonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, the City's consultant, has reviewed the
wetland alteration permit application and recommends approval of the permit.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the Wetland Alteration Permit for Meadow Creek Third Addition with the following
condition:
. The applicant shall provide at least I-year of maintenance as described in the MnDOT Seeding
Manual 2000 Edition "Early Maintenance" to all areas seeded with native vegetation including
the buffers adjacent to Wetland "A" and Wetland "B", along with such other maintenance as may
be required by the recommendation portion ofthe attached memo from John Smyth dated July12,
2003.

Re: Wetland Permit Application - Meadow Creek
Third Addition
Project Summary
The applicant is proposing a 68-10t single family residential development addition on approximately 25 acres. The site is
bounded by existing single-family residential development to the west. Land use to the north, east, and south of the site includes
undeveloped cropland, wetland, and woodland.
This project site contains two wetland basins labeled Wetland A(City 10: A V-1.l2.l) and Wetland B (City 10: A V-W1.9). Basin
A is an isolated basin that has been classified as utilize and is considered lower quality due to active farming disturbing the
vegetation. This wetland has the potential to have its vegetation restored with the land-use change and the portion remaining
being enhanced as part of this development. Wetland B is located adjacent to the Lake Julia waterway that flows northwest to
southeast across the northern portion of the 3rd Addition site.
Wetland Impacts
Wetland B will be avoided as part of this phase of the development. The proposed project entails 10,520 square feet (0.24 acres)
of Wetland B to be filled to accommodate two lots and 18,150 square feet (0.41 acres) of excavation to maintain the wetlands
hydrology. Excavation is necessary to intercept treated water from the storm water pond upstream of the basin that was
discharging at an elevation lower then the existing elevation of the wetland.
Wetland Replacement
The Wetland Conservation Act requires a 2: I replacement ratio for a total requirement of 0.48 acres of mitigation credit. The
applicant proposes expanding Wetland A to the east and creating an upland buffer of native vegetation adjacent to the wetland.
Overall, the project design provides 0.67 acres of wetland and 0.58 acres of upland buffer to meet the mitigation credit.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Wetland Permit Application for Meadow Creek 3rd Addition be approved. It is recommended that a
condition of this approval be that the applicant will provide, at a minimum, I-year of maintenance as described in the MNDOT
Seeding Manual 2000 Edition "Eary Maintenance" to all areas seeded with natives vegetation including the buffers adjacent to
Wetland A and Wetland B. One additional year of maintenance may be required if it is determined to be needed following the
cities review of the first Wetland Monitoring report provided by the applicant. This will help insure the successful establishment
of the native grasses and forbs (flowers) and reduce the competition from weedy growth.

MEADOW CREEK THIRD ADDITION RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF FARMINGTON, MINNESOTA
May 13, 2003
PROJECT PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, AND WETLAND IMPACTS
The purpose of the Meadow Creek Residential Development is to meet the demand for residential
housing in City of Farmington in accordance with City of Farmington zoning regulations. Progress Land
Company, me. is proposing a 68-10t single-family residential development addition on approximately 25
acres. The project is located in the SE ~ of Section 13, TlI4N, R20W, City of Farmington, Dakota
County, Minnesota (Exhibits 1 and 2).
The site is bounded by existing single-family residential development to the west. Land use to the north,
east, and south of the site includes undeveloped cropland, wetland, and woodland. The City of
Farmington/Empire Township boundary is located at the eastern edge of the site. (Exhibit 3).
The site has been fallow in recent years, and historically it has been used for production of agricultural
row crops and vegetables such as com, pumpkins, and squash. An excavated drainage ditch flows
southeast along the northern portion of the site. The ditch flows from DNR Public Waters Wetland 19-
352W ("Lake Julia"), located upstream of the site, to North Creek, which is located about 1,000 feet east
of the site. Drainage from the site flows south and east about 2,300 feet before reaching the confluence
with North Creek. Topography of the site is relatively flat, with elevations ranging from 912 adjacent to
the drainage ditch in the northwest part of the site, to about 904 in the ditch bottom in the southeast part
ofthe site. The site drains southeast toward North Creek, which in turn drains about one and a half miles
south to the confluence with the Vermillion River.
The proposed project entails 10,520 square feet (0.24 acres) of Type 1/2 WCA-jurisdictiona1 wetland fill
and 18,150 square feet of self-mitigating Type 1/2 wetland excavation, not regulated under WCA, for
purposes of residential development. As discussed on pages 3 and 4, the Applicant submits that the
impacted wetland on the site does not meet the definition of "waters of the United States" for purposes of
determining U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulatory jurisdiction. Wetland impacts will be replaced
onsite using a combination of New Wetland Credit (NWC) from one wetland replacement area and
Public Value Credit (pVC) from stormwater ponding and upland buffer. Overall, the project design
provides 68 single-family residential lots, 0.67 acres of wetland, 2.17 acres of stormwater ponding, 0.58
acres of upland buffer, and 3.0 acres of municipal parks and trails.
WETLAND OVERVIEW
Wetland Delineation Methodology
Westwood delineated and flagged wetlands on the site during June 1996 using the Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, Waterways Experiment Station, 1987), in
which sampling transects were established in representative transition zones of identified wetlands.
'" Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (952) 937-5150
Meadow Creek Third Addition Residential Development
Wetland Permits Application Narrative
Page 2
May 9, 2003
Transects consisted of one sampling point in upland and one point in wetland. Soils, vegetation, and
hydrology information were recorded for each point on data forms. Species dominance for vegetation
measurements was based on the percent aerial or basal coverage visually estimated within a thirty-foot
radius for the tree and shrub layers and a five-foot radius for the herbaceous layer within the community
type sampled. Westwood received written confirmation of wetland boundaries from the City's consultant,
(John Smyth ofBonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates [BRAA]) on November 12, 1997 (Appendix
1).
Wetlands were classified according to Wetlands of the United States (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Circular 39; Shaw and Fredine, 1971) and Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States
(FWS/OBS Publication 79/31; Cowardin et. al. 1979). Common names for vegetation identified in this
report generally correspond with the nomenclature used in the National List of Plant Species that Occur
in Wetlands: North Central (Region 3) (USFWS, Reed, 1988) and/or Vascular Plants of Minnesota
(University of Minnesota, Ownbey and Morley, 1991).
Prior to delineating wetland boundaries in the field, Westwood reviewed National Wetlands Inventory
(NWI) mapping (Exhibit 4), and the Soil Survey of Dakota County, Minnesota (USDA, 1983) (Exhibit 5).
Delineated wetland boundaries were located using land surveying methods, and the approximate transect
locations are shown on the attached Wetland Boundary Map (Exhibit 6).
Wetland Descriptions
The full 160-acre Meadow Creek Development site contains a total of 18.1 acres of wetland distributed
among four basins. Only one of these wetlands, Wetland A, is located entirely within the Third Addition.
Overall, the wetlands are dominated by reed canary grass and giant goldenrod. The area has a history of
agricultural activity, which has significantly affected the soils, vegetation, and surface hydrology through
the establishment of a drainage ditch and repeated disturbance.

Wetland boundaries were reviewed in the field and accepted by the Dakota Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD) and City of Farmington. Written confirmation that the delineated wetland boundaries
are acceptable for local administration of the WCA is included in Appendix 1.
On September 19,2002 the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP, including John Smyth, BRAAlCity of
Farmington; Brain Watson, Dakota SWCD; and Tom Mings, BWSR) conducted a site meeting to
determine the wetland classification of Wetlands A and B under the Farmington Wetland Ordinance
(Ordinance No. 099-433) (Appendix 2). As depicted in Table 2 below, the TEP agreed to reclassify the
wetland/ditch (Wetland B) that drains from Lake Julia to North Creek from Manage-l to Manage-2, and
'" Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (952) 937-5150

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Wetlands on the Meadow Creek property are regulated or exempt under:
. The Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA), administered in this area by the City
of Farmington,
. The City of Farmington Wetland Ordinance, and
. Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (CW A), administered by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps).
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and Farmington Wetland Ordinance
Under the WCA, submittal and approval of a wetland replacement plan application is required for the
10,520 square feet (0.24 acres) of proposed wetland fill. This amount offill exceeds the 2,000-square
foot deminimis exemption for Type 1, 2, or 6 wetland outside of a shoreland wetland protection zone in
an area with less than 50 percent of pre-settlement wetlands remaining. The 18,150 square feet of Type
1/2 wetland excavation in Wetland A is not regulated under the WCA, is proposed for purposes of
sustaining wetland functions and values, and will be self-mitigating, replacing the existing wetlands in-
place. The proposed project complies with WCA requirements.
The City of Farmington Wetland Ordinance incorporates the WCA by reference, and also requires
wetland buffers. The proposed project complies with the City of Farmington Wetland Ordinance.
Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act
The 10,520 square feet (0.24 acres) of wetland fill is proposed in Wetland A, which is isolated from
Navigable Waters of the United States, and Wetland B will be completely avoided. Based on a
decision signed by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 9, 2001, which restricted the Corps of
Engineers' authority to regulate isolated wetlands under the Federal Clean Water Act, Wetland A
lacks federal jurisdiction, making the project eligible for a Corps of Engineers Letter of No
Jurisdiction. Topographic mapping, NWI mapping (USFWS, 1990), and the Wetland Boundary Map
(Exhibit 6) show that Wetland A is completely surrounded by upland. This wetland does not currently
contain inlet or outlet structures, and is completely surrounded by upland, previously cultivated soils.
Therefore, Wetland A is isolated and does not meet the definition of "waters of the United States."
Because the project does not entail fill or excavation within Wetland B, the Applicant submits that
authorization under GP/LOP-98-MN will not be necessary for this project.

If the Corps of Engineers determines it is not possible to issue a Letter of No Jurisdiction for this
project, Meadow Creek Third Addition Residential Development will be eligible for authorization
under GP/LOP-98-MN - Letter of Permission (B).
SEQUENCING
The Applicant recognizes that WCA rules require sequencing for wetland avoidance, impact
minimization, impact reduction and elimination over time, and replacement. The Applicant also
recognizes that guidance distributed by BWSR indicates sequencing flexibility is appropriate if the
wetland alteration will result in a gain in wetland functions and values. This project has been designed to
avoid wetland fill to the extent practicable. However, complete avoidance of wetlands on the site is not
possible due to the indirect impact that the development will have on the surface water drainage to the
Wetland A. Diverting the tributary drainage area would drain Wetland A even if it was physically
avoided. The following narrative describes alternatives considered and the proposed project design.
Alternatives Considered
Consideration was given to multiple design alternatives before the project proposer settled on the
Proposed Site Plan. The following are among the alternatives considered:
1. No Build Alternative
2. Wetland Avoidance Alternative
3. Alternate Site Plan
4. Proposed Site Plan
No Build Alternative
The No Build Alternative would completely avoid wetlands on the property. However, the No Build
Alternative is not considered practicable because it would neither fulfill the purpose of the project nor
satisfy the requirements of the growing community of Farmington. Existing zoning on the property is
"Low Density Residential".
Wetland Avoidance Alterative
A W etland Avoidance Alternative involving construction of a similar residential development designed
to totally avoid wetlands was considered but found unworkable due to the marginal hydrology of
Wetland A and impracticality of sustaining wetland hydrology in this historically farmed basin under a
post-development setting. Wetland A occupies only 0.66 acres, but has a tributary drainage area of
approximately 12.7 acres. Preserving the wetland and its entire drainage area intact would require
eliminating approximately 30 of the proposed residential lots. Even then, Wetland A would not be not
have reliable hydrology, and in a developed setting it would most likely be converted to r.nanicured
bluegrass lawn. Therefore, reconstructing the wetland downstream from proposed stormwater ponds and
integrating with the municipal stormwater drainage system provides the best alternative for long-term
perpetuation of wetland functions and values.
Alternative Site Plan
The Alternative Site Plan would entai128,670 square feet of wetland excavation in Wetland A for a
stormwater pond. The Alternative Site Plan was proposed for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet
"T Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (952) 937-5150
Meadow Creek Third Addition Residential Development

(EA W) that was completed in February 1998, and includes approximately 92 single-family residences
within the area currently being platted as Meadow Creek Third Addition Residential Development
(Appendix 3). Single-family residences were surrounding Wetland A in the Alternative Site Plan, which
would limit the tributary drainage area and drain Wetland A even if the wetland was physically avoided.
The Alternative Site Plan also proposed a stormwater pond in the southeast portion of Wetland B, which
is proposed to be avoided and platted as Outlot B in the Meadow Creek Third Addition Residential
Development.
Proposed Site Plan
The Proposed Site Plan entails 10,520 square feet ofWCA-jurisdictional wetland fill and 18,150 square
feet of self-mitigating wetland excavation (Exhibits 7 and 8). The Proposed Site Plan represents the best
alternative for meeting development objectives while avoiding wetlands to the extent practicable. The
Proposed Site Plan reduces the number of single-family residential lots by 24, from 92 under the original
design to 68 under the current proposaL Single-family lots previously proposed to the east and south of
Wetland A were eliminated and this area will be dedicated as a municipal park. The Proposed Site Plan
reflects the Applicant's objective to avoid wetlands on the site to the extent possible. Wetland B is
completely avoided and this area is designated as Outlot B. As previously described, total wetland
avoidance is not practical given the indirect impacts the development will have on the surface water
drainage to Wetland A. The Proposed Site Plan is the Preferred Alternative. If Wetland A was to be
completely avoided, it would not be possible to preserve wetland functions.
Wetland Avoidance and Impact Minimization
The project has been designed to avoid and minimize wetland impacts to the extent practicable while
preserving wetland functions. The Proposed Site Plan represents the best available compromise between
the project purpose, site constraints, and wetland preservation. The proposed wetland impacts are
unavoidable due to the indirect impacts the development will have on the surface water drainage to
Wetland A.
Impact Rectification
Because it will not be possible to restore the filled wetlands, impact rectification is considered
unfeasible. Therefore, the Applicant is proposing onsite wetland replacement.
Impact Reduction and Elimination Over Time
Impact reduction and elimination over time will be accomplished by using Best Management Practices
(BMPs) prior to and during construction. The project construction plans will implement strategies
included in Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas: Best Management Practices for Dealing with
Storm Water Runoff from Urban, Suburban, and Developing Areas of Minnesota (Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, 2000) to protect wetlands and wetland quality. Silt fence will be used to curtail soil
erosion, minimize water quality impacts, and protect existing wetland functions and values during and
after project construction. To minimize erosion hazards and encourage slope stabilization, all graded
surfaces will be seeded as soon as practical after completion of final grading.

WETLAND REPLACEMENT
Wetland Replacement Required
Under the Minnesota WCA, approximately 21,040 square feet (0.48 acres) of wetland replacement credit
is required. Because all wetland impacts are isolated from navigable waters of the United States, the
Applicant believes that the Corps of Engineers will not require wetland replacement. The required
wetland replacement calculations follow:
Wetland Replacement Required (Square Feet)
Minnesota WCA
10,520 Wetland fill
+ 0 Type 3/4/5 wetland excavation
10,520 Total impact requiring replacement
x 2 2 to 1 replacement
21,040 minimum required
u.s. Armv Corps of Enqineers
o Adjacent/tributary wetland fill
+ 0 Adjacent/tributary wetland excavation
o Total impact requiring replacement
x 1 1 to 1 replacement
o minimum required
Under the WCA, 21,040 square feet of wetland replacement will be required to compensate for the
10,520 square feet of proposed wetland fill. At least half of the replacement credit (10,520 square feet;
0.24 acre) needs to be in the form of New Wetland Credit (NWC) to satisfy WCA requirements. Up to
half of the wetland replacement may come from Pubic Value Credit (pVC), which may be applied toward
the second half of the 2 to 1 replacement.
The 18,150 square feet of Type 1/2 wetland excavation in Wetland A is not regulated under the WCA, is
proposed for purposes of sustaining wetland functions and values, and will be self-mitigating, replacing
the existing wetlands in-place.
Wetland Replacement Proposed
The Applicant proposes to meet WCA requirements by combining New Wetland Credit (NWC) and
Public Value Credit (pVC). As indicated in Table 3 below, the project provides a total of 130,640 square
feet (3.00 acres) of wetland replacement.
Table 3. Wetland Replacement Summary
Credit Type Square Feet Acres
New Wetland Credit 10,900 0.25
Public Value Credit (Upland Buffer) 25,140 1.32
Public Value Credit (Stormwater Ponding) 94,600 2.17
Total Wetland Replacement 130,640 3.00
Wetland replacement credits provided from the available NWC, Upland Buffer and Stormwater Pond
PVC will meet WCA requirements. The Applicant recognizes that the wetland replacement construction
is not a precise practice, and that it depends partially on the diligence of the construction contractor. The
380 square feet of surplus NWC demonstrates the Applicant's intent to meet the NWC wetland
replacement requirement, rather than exceed it. Because Wetland A will be excavated and lowered
during the creation of additional wetland, and because lowering and enlarging Wetland A will help
ensure that it continues to provide wetland functions and values, the excavation of Wetland A will be
replaced in-place, and the proposed excavation will be self-mitigating.

Proposed New Wetland Credit
Exhibits 7 and 8 show the proposed wetland mitigation area for the Meadow Creek Third Addition
Residential Development. Proposed contours, cross-sections, photo-reference points, hydrology
monitoring points, and revegetation plans are depicted on Exhibit 8 for the wetland mitigation area. The
replacement wetland will be constructed primarily by excavation. Sufficient wetland hydrology for
wetland creation and expansion will be ensured by the upstream stormwater ponding. As indicated in
Table 3, the wetland mitigation area includes 10,900 square feet (0.25 acres) of proposed NWC.
Proposed wetland edges will feature irregular contours and slopes no steeper than 5: 1 to help assure a
functional transition to upland. Topsoil may be spread in the bottom of the wetland replacement area
(below the n9rmal water level) at a thickness of 6 inches to provide a suitable substrate for emergent and
submergent vegetation. To minimize erosion and encourage slope stabilization, regraded surfaces will be
seeded as soon as practical after completion of final grading.
Newly created wetland above water levels will be seeded to Mn/DOT seed mix 25B, a native wet prairie
and wildflower mix (Appendix 4). Disturbed areas within upland buffers will be seeded to Mn/DOT
seed mix 15B, a native grass and wildflower seed mix developed for use in prairie regions. These native
grasses, sedges, and wildflowers are expected to improve wildlife habitat and visual value.
Proposed Public Value Credit
The WCA, as amended, allows PVC for upland buffers adjacent to wetland replacement areas and water
quality treatment ponds constructed to pretreat stormwater runoff prior to discharge to wetlands for local
governments that have "adopted, implemented, and funded a storm water management pIan that provides
for the removal of' sediment and phosphorus.
The project will create 94,600 square feet of water quality treatment ponding on the site, yielding 94,600
square feet of PVC. In addition, the project will create upland buffer adjacent to the mitigation area,
yielding 25,140 square feet ofPVC. Public Value Credits are summarized in Table 4 below.

Wetland Replacement Monitoring
The wetland creation area will be monitored in compliance with the Wetland Conservation Act.
Monitoring will include the following required components, as listed in the WCA rules:
1. A description of the project location, size, current wetland type (Cowardin or Circular 39
classification), and desired wetland type (goal).
2. A comparison of the as-built conditions in relation to the design specifications (first annual
monitoring only) and a rationale for significant changes.
3. Seasonal water level elevations measured during the period April through October (ms1 or
referenced to a known bench mark).

4. A list of the dominant vegetation in the wetland, including common names of the vegetation
exceeding 20 percent coverage and an estimate of coverage; for example, 50 percent willow, 20
percent cattail, and 30 percent sedge.
5. Color photographs of the project area taken during the period June through August, referenced to
the fixed photo-reference points identified on the Wetland Replacement Plan and labeled
accordingly.
The replacement wetland will be monitored for a maximum of five years after creation and monitoring
reports will be submitted to the City of Farmington each year. The replacement wetland will be
examined periodically between April and October each year and the depth of standing water or depth to
free water in an unlined bore hole will be measured from the wetland hydrology monitoring point shown
on the Wetland Replacement and Revegetation Plan (Exhibit 8). Color photographs of the vegetation
within the wetland creation area will be taken during each growing season from the photo-reference
points. Hydrology measurements will be evaluated to assess the viability of the wetland in relation to the
creation goal. The percent coverage of dominant vegetation will be estimated visually. All monitoring
reports will include a description of the condition and composition of the vegetation within the wetland
replacement area. Monitoring reports and photographs will be submitted to the City annually. When it
can be shown that wetland replacement is successful, the Applicant may request that the remainder of the
monitoring requirement be waived.
Vegetation Management Plan for the Wetland Replacement Area
Vegetation within the wetland replacement area will be managed for a period of five years as specified in
Minnesota Rules 8420.0530 D (14). Vegetation management within the wetland replacement area will
include the following components:
1. Newly created wetland areas above water levels shall be seeded to Mn/DOT seed mix 25B, a
native wet prairie and wildflower seed mix (Appendix 4).
2. The native seed mix shall be applied at a rate of 30 pounds per acre as specified in the Minnesota
Department of Transportation Seeding Manual (Mn/DOT Office of Environmental Services,
2000).
3. The wetland replacement area shall be assessed during standard wetland replacement monitoring
events for the presence of noxious weeds and invasive nonnative species.
4. Should noxious weeds and invasive nonnative species be identified within the wetland
replacement area during the standard management period, reasonable efforts will be made to
control these species using appropriately timed herbicide applications or other methods.

INTRODUCTION
During the City Council workshop on July 28, 2003 questions were raised about the need for another
meeting with the City Hall Task Force. Staff has reviewed minutes from the City Council meeting
from June 4, 2003 and has learned that such a meeting was proposed to be held, "in July."
DISCUSSION
Based on discussions held at the July 28th City Council workshop regarding possible alternative
locations for a City Hall Campus and recognition that a follow up work shop with the City Hall Task
Force may be beneficial to the process, staff is recommending that a joint workshop be set. The
topics to be discussed at such a workshop would include the two originally proposed sites as well as
alternative sites.
Based on earlier discussions it appears that a meeting on Wednesdays in August would be difficult to
coordinate with all members however the most recent Task Force meetings were held on Tuesday
evenings. Staff has spoken with the City Hall Task Force Chairperson and Tuesday remains the
preferred meeting day. Due to other scheduling conflicts staff is recommending 2 possible meeting
dates on either Tuesday, August 19; or Tuesday, September 16,2003. .
