REGULAR MEETING
June 4, 1985
Council noted the lack of daytime firefighters and will personally
challenge the Fire Department to launch a continuous program to
increase the daytime firemen roster in the near future.
Councilman Walsh asked for an explanation as to why U.S. Homes, Orrin
Thompson Division, discussion was not placed on this Agenda. The
Administrator advised the Council that discussions have been held with
the Orrin Thompson group. One subject of discussion has been the storm
water problems relating to the Le Foret addition. Discussions will
continue, and a report will be prepared for the Council at the July 2
Regular Council meeting. The Administrator advised that U.S. Homes has
the property in question for sale at this point in time.
The Administrator advised the Council that a complaint has been
received regarding excessive speeds on Bacardi Avenue north of County
Road 38. The recommendation of the Administrator was to acknowledge
the complaint and do nothing about it as the County has advised that
all their requests for considering reduced speed limits on all gravel
roads to date have been denied by the State. This denial is based on
the reason that any speed limit set on a gravel surfaced road may be
excessive at some time during the life of that road due to the surface
conditions of a gravel road drastically and repeatedly changing with
changing weather. Council directed the Administrator to notify the
complainant that no action will be taken.
The Administrator presented the request and the petition for the
completion of the frontage road in the Broback Industrial Park Plat
commenting that the petition is not one hundred percent. The
petitioners made it very clear that they were petitioning for the
roadway to be surfaced in the configuration of the original plat.
The Administrator recommended to the Council that they, at this time,
either consent to building the road according to the original plat or
deny the petition and inform the petitioners that they will not
consider anything less than the configuration discussed in 1980.
MOTION by Knutson to accept the petition from Broback Industrial Park
owners. Second by Stauffer. Ayes: Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson, Tucker,
Willard. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Knutson to notify the petitioners that the platted alignment
on the frontage road is not acceptable and that Council will only
consider this petition if the petitioners are willing to accept the
City engineer's plans as drawn in 1980. Second by Stauffer. Ayes:
Stauffer, Knutson, Tucker, Willard, Walsh. Nays: 0.
The Administrator updated the Council on the McMenomy water line and
easement request noting that the request, as presented by McMenomy,
will require some alteration before Staff is ready to present the
request to Council along with their recommendation. Council was
advised that the City attorney is involved in this matter because of
the request to place private waterlines in public property. Council
concluded that no action is needed, and updates be presented as
discussions develop an agreement for the construction of this water
line. See Clerk's File 1985 -12.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 4, 1985
The Administrator presented the petition from the Jay Simon Addition
area for street surfacing within that development. Council was
cautioned that even though the petition is claimed to be one hundred
percent, it would be well served to hold a public hearing on this
project. Council discussion indicated that three areas of concern
should be addressed in a feasibility study centering around this
petition: the Jay Simon Addition itself; 130th Street from Bengal to
Bacardi; and 130 Street from Bengal to Highway 3. See Clerk's File
1985 -12.
MOTION by Walsh to accept the Petition and place it on file. Second by
Tucker. Ayes: Knutson, Tucker, Willard, Walsh, Stauffer. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize a feasibility study for a street
surfacing project for the Jay Simon Addition, for 130th Street from
Highway 3 to Bengal, and for 130th Street from Bengal to Bacardi.
Second by Willard. Ayes: Tucker, Willard, Walsh, Stauffer,
Knutson. Nays: 0.
The Administrator advised the Council that the Planning Commission at
their meeting this date addressed the Erickson Petroleum Corp. simple
lot division in South Rose Park and recommended Council approval of
this simple lot division.
MOTION by Knutson to adopt Resolution 1985 -29, A RESOLUTION CAUSING A
SIMPLE LOT DIVISION. Second by Stauffer. Ayes: Willard, Walsh,
Stauffer, Knutson, Tucker. Nays: 0.
Mayor Knutson presented the Dakota County Director of Planning
Memorandum noting that it is a request for comments on revised
guidelines for Landfill Abatement Funding Assistance. Mayor Knutson
noted that the attached funding schedule indicates that the Rosemount
share is far short of the $10,000.00 needed to fund the refuse
recycling project planned by the Rosemount Council. See Clerk's File
1985 -12.
Mayor Knutson encouraged all present to attend the University of
Minnesota Open House scheduled between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 5:00
p.m., Saturday, June 8, with the staging area being the Dakota County
Vocational School. The tour is an attempt by the University to provide
information to the public regarding the contamination that has been
caused by University occupants.
Mayor Knutson advised that the Dakota County Board this date held a
public hearing on the proposed Ordinance 110 addressing the use of how
to manage waste tires within the County. No Council action was taken.
Mayor Knutson informed the Council that they are invited to a breakfast
at Jimmy's Lemon Tree in Apple Valley, on Monday, June 24, at 7:30
a.m. This meeting is hosted by Sandra Gardebring, Metropolitan Council
Chair. This will be the only breakfast meeting to be held in Dakota
County and R.S.V.P.'s are requested to allow the staff to arrange for
adequate room for this meeting.
Councilman Walsh updated the Council on the cleanup weekend that was
held on Saturday, June 1, 1985. He indicated that the response and the
volume was up over the last two years and that Knutson Rubbish Service
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 4, 1985
advised that they will be continuing during the summer months a fee
dump situation at their site to provide dump services to this area of
Dakota County. Knutson Rubbish will study the results; and if
favorable, will continue this in 1986 thereby eliminating the need for
the City to continue the annual cleanup weekend as practiced over the
last three or four years.
Mayor Knutson noted that Koch Refining has rescheduled their in -plant
tour for Thursday, June 20, at 4:00 p.m. It was noted that a better
time to start the tour may be 4:30 p.m. thereby allowing more people to
attend. The Administrator was directed to make this request of Koch
Refining.
The Administrator presented a proposal for a Staff seminar which was a
mandate of the Community Needs Study. See Clerk's File 1985 -12.
MOTION by Knutson to accept the proposal from the Wilson Learning
Center for seven participants in the amount of $3,515.00 and also
underwrite the cost of lunch on the seminar days. Second by Walsh.
Ayes: Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson, Tucker, Willard. Nays: 0.

League of Minnesota Cities convention next week and requested
authorization to represent the City at the meeting.

at the League of Minnesota Cities' annual meeting and to cast the

The Administrator advised the Council that the Tennessee glass firm has
notified the State of Minnesota that they are no longer interested in
the Brockway plant. No one else has shown an interest in this property
to date.
The Administrator alluded to the Finance Department's report on the
Brockway Golf Course's financial standing noting that things are going
well for this endeavor at this time.
The Administrator advised that the C.I.P. items have been discussed,
and department heads have been urged to proceed with their C.I.P. item
acquisitions from the 1985 budget.
The Fire Department had indicated they may delay the 1986 acquisition
of a new pumper but advised this date that they have reconsidered this
and will be approaching Council very shortly with plans and
specifications for a new pumper to be ordered for delivery in 1986.
This decision was reached when they were advised that the City fire
rating is not certifiable because of a lack of pumping capacity in our
existing trucks.
The Administrator advised the Council that a brief agenda will be
prepared for the June 11, 1985 Board of Review meeting as a reminder of
that special meeting.

Due to previous discussion by Council regarding the need for

to the Fire Department's May monthly report noting that the number of

an emergency situation after all. The Administrator advised that even

recruitment program should continue.

REGULAR MEETING
JULY 2, 1985
The Administrator stated that he has received two offers to list the
liquor store, but recommended to Council not to list the property for
sale as he has been promised a proposal to buy the property. The
Administrator recommended continued operation of the off -sale portion
of the liquor store but to abolish the manager's position and create a
position on a lower management level, with either the Administrator or
a department head responsible for the management of this store. The
Administrator stated that this recommendation was the result of
discussion at the last staff meeting, during which the Police Chief
volunteered his department to move into the on -sale portion and assume
some of the management duties of the liquor store. The Administrator
reminded Council of the considerable loss of monies during the last six
months, and that the Staff felt it is not necessary to continue paying
a combined- management level salary since there is only the off -sale
portion of the store to manage. Council reviewed a memorandum from
Paul Aksteter, Liquor Store Manager, which stated that he did not agree
with Staff's recommendation to abolish the position of liquor store
manager, but did agree that the salary should be restructured. There
was considerable discussion on this issue, and the Administrator
suggested that he review this matter further and report back to Council
at the next Regular Council meeting. See Clerk's File 1985 -15.

The Administrator reported that Commissioner Loeding informed City
Staff that a special Dakota County Board Meeting this date revealed
that the County is not capable of installing the traffic signals at the
Chippendale and Diamond Path intersections with County Road 42 in 1985;
therefore, these installations will be placed in future budgets by
Dakota County for installation at a later date. The City of Rosemount
had requested 1985 installation of the Chippendale traffic signal and
further had advised Dakota County that funding for the City's share of
both signal locations was available for 1985 construction. No further
Council action was taken.
The Administrator presented the request by an owner in the Broback
Industrial Park to continue with the necessary procedures to cause the
construction of the frontage road within Broback Industrial Park.
Inasmuch as the petition received in June was not one hundred percent,
a public hearing must be scheduled for this project. It was suggested

improvements public hearing scheduled to begin at 7 :30 p.m., on August
13, 1985. See Clerk's File 1985 -16.
MOTION by Knutson to set a public hearing to immediately follow the Jay

Noble, a long time ice hockey arena proponent, with a new proposal for
funding and building of an indoor ice facility in Rosemount.
Councilman Willard informed Council that he had been contacted by the
same individual and had received the same explanation regarding a
proposed indoor ice arena. Mr. Noble indicated that the ice arena
group has located a group of people interested in building and
maintaining an indoor ice arena for a period of five years for tax
purposes; and at the end of the five years, the City would have agreed
to have bought the facility at a price established at this early date.
Council was in total agreement that they are not interested in an
arrangement as proposed by Mr. Noble for the building of an ice arena
in Rosemount.
Councilman Willard presented a concern from a local citizen that he has
witnessed activities on University of Minnesota properties being
conducted by uniformed military personnel. Other Councilmembers and
Staff advised Councilman Willard that the University of Minnesota
properties are long term training facilities for all military forces
stationed in Minnesota; namely, the Minnesota National Guard, Minnesota
Army Reserve, Minnesota Air National Guard, etc. Councilman Willard
was further advised that his concerns could best be answered by Mr.
Bill Cook, Superintendent of the University of Minnesota Research
Center on whose land the activities being questioned took place.
The Administrator presented Rosemount Woods Petition for street
surfacing cautioning the Council that the petition contains names of
manufactured home owners in the Rosemount Woods Addition and not the
16

actual owners of the property. In his remarks he recommended that the
Council direct the Administrator's office to contact the owners to
ascertain their willingness to participate in this improvement prior to
holding a public hearing; noting that should the owners be willing to
present a one hundred percent petition, a public hearing for the
project would not be required. See Clerk's File 1985 -16.
MOTION by Knutson to acknowledge receipt of the petition from the
residents of Rosemount Woods Addition but no action be taken based on
the fact that it is not a legal petition and that it is not
representative of the owners of the property. Second by Tucker. Ayes:

The Administrator presented the Ordinance to Control Growth of Trees,
Shrubs, etc. that has been prepared by the Public Works Director in an
attempt to establish some permanent policy regarding trees, shrubs,
etc. on public property that are invading public property; namely
sidewalks, bikeways and streets. The Administrator advised that any
concerns that the Council wishes to express regarding the proposed
ordinance should be forwarded to Staff as soon as possible for
inclusion in the final draft of the ordinance that will be presented in
the very near future for final adoption. Council agreed with the
concepts of the ordinance and directed that the final draft be prepared
from the information available, as they had no concerns for additions
or deletions in the initial draft. See Clerk's File 1985 -16.

memory as to his and his neighbor's reasons for requesting the stop
sign several years ago and further advised the Council that the reasons
at that time have become moot as the conditions prevailing at that time
have disappeared. He respectfully requested the Council to consider a
resolution to remove the two stop signs in question.

Chairman, and three other staff members were present to go over the
1986 budget information that will be adopted by the MWCC Board in the

entities, and the information presented should be of interest to the
Rosemount Council as it contains funding information and scheduling for
the replacement of the Rosemount waste water treatment plant with a new
bio- plant. No Council action was needed.
The Administrator presented information that Don Brown wished to convey
regarding the 1985 seal coating projects. The Public Works Department
has determined that all the areas scheduled for seal coating in 1985
are areas that are not totally developed and could wait for seal
coating at a future time. Council was advised that the funding
available for the 1985 seal coating will be requested in part to fund
some street repair that is needed and no funding is available at this
time for that repair.
The Administrator presented the recommendation for the liquor store
operation as requested by the City Council at the last regular meeting.
The Administrator recommended abolishing the existing liquor store
manager's position on August 4, 1985 and establish a liquor store
supervisory position effective that date with a 1985 annual salary
range of $18,000.00- $20,000.00. Paul Aksteter has provided the
Administrator with adequate information that indicates that the current

financially advantageous and are the recommended hours of operation for
the immediate future. See Clerk's File 1985 -16.

Mayor Knutson referred to a letter from Dakota County regarding
landfill abatement assistance to be provided to communities in an
effort to reduce the volume of waste going to landfills in Dakota
County. Council agreed that the amount of funding the City of
Rosemount would receive would not be enough for the City to operate its
own recycling system, but perhaps these funds could be used to pay for
the use of a composting facility at one of the neighboring communities.
Mayor Knutson stated that he would contact Apple Valley and Eagan to
see if either City would be willing to have the City of Rosemount use
their composting facility. See Clerk's File 1985 -17.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 6, 1985
The Administrator stated that since the Fire Department had not
furnished to Council the specifications of a new fire truck, this
matter should be referred to a future Council meeting. Councilman
Walsh referred to his memorandum dated August 5, 1985 questioning
whether a new fire truck is needed and outlining his attempts to
ascertain the ratings on the existing trucks. He expressed his
concerns on the lack of not having an inspection since 1980 and the
fact that the Fire Department members are not sure as to exactly what
the ratings are for each truck's pumping capacity. Councilman Walsh
felt that these matters should be addressed before Council authorizes
purchasing a new truck. He further felt that a representative from the
Fire Department should come before Council to explain exactly why the
Fire Department feels a new truck should be purchased. Following
considerable discussion by Council, the Administrator was directed to
clarify the ratings of the fire pumps and to discuss this matter with
the Fire Chief. See Clerk's File 1985 -17.
Councilman Walsh reviewed his memorandum of August 4, 1985 regarding
the installation of four -way stop signs on County Road 42 at
Chippendale Avenue and Dodd Road. He stated that he has discussed this
suggestion with other residents who feel that four -way stop signs prior
to the installation of traffic lights at these intersections would
reduce traffic speeds and accidents as well as help educate motorists
that they will have to stop at these intersections once the traffic
lights are installed. Councilman Walsh further recommended that a
resolution be sent to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners to this
effect. Chief Staats further recommended that flashing lights be
installed to alert motorists of the four -way stop signs.
MOTION by Knutson to adopt Resolution 1985 -37, A RESOLUTION REQUESTING
THE DAKOTA COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO INSTALL FOUR -WAY STOP SIGNS
AND FLASHING LIGHTS ON COUNTY ROAD 42 AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF

supporting the appointment of Carolyn Rodriquez to represent this
district on the Transit Board. Mayor Knutson further reported that Ed
Krause from Hastings received this appointment.
The Administrator reported that the U.S. Postal Service has assigned an
option to purchase land for the new post office to Albert and Clara
Ehlen of Alexandria, Minnesota.
The Administrator reported that the Request for Proposals for a new or
expanded city hall have been forwarded to the architects. The
architects have been requested to furnish their proposals to the
Administrator by September 3, 1985.
The Administrator presented the Council with an update on County Road

obtaining the straight through alignment and should be commended for
his fine work.

The Administrator advised the Council that the budget process for this
year may take a different form than in the past in that the City is
going to be forced to levy the maximum allowed. Not having the
information needed at this time to set the levy and to prepare the
budgets within the levy guidelines, it may be recommended that Council
adopt a levy in early September, and the budgets will follow as time

SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 13, 1985
Mayor Knutson explained that the agenda has been constructed to allow
the Council to consider Jay Simon's Addition internal streets; 130th
Street West, T.H. 3 to Bengal Avenue; and 130th Street West, Bengal
Avenue to Bacardi Avenue as three separate segments of the project to
get feelings as to public sentiment regarding the proposed construction
and reconstruction of the aforesaid streets.
Mayor Knutson introduced Steve Campbell, City Engineer, who presented
information with regards to project costs and typical street sections
that would be utilized in the project as well as the proposed
assessment areas for the project. The Engineer advised Council and
those present the study of the Jay Simon's Addition project reveals
that the platted roadway is not actually where the constructed roadway
lies. Correction of this condition through replatting or quit claim
deed are recommended prior to any plans and specifications to allow the
construction of the new roadway in the existing alignment and to cause
the road right -of -way to occupy the same.
General discussion followed with the general consensus of those in
attendance that the Council should consider a revised feasibility study
report that would cause improvements to 130th Street West from Highway
3 to 130th Way and improvements of the streets in the Jay Simon's
Addition, and further that the 130th Street West alignment between
130th Way and Bacardi Avenue should not be constructed at this time.
The group in attendance indicated that the area that should be assessed
for the 130th Street West improvements as recommended should be that
area one quarter of a mile either side of 130th Street West between
Highway 3 and Bacardi Avenue.
MOTION by Willard to close the Public Hearing on the proposed
improvements of 130th Street West and the internal streets within the
Jay Simon's Addition. Second by Stauffer. Ayes: Walsh, Stauffer,
Knutson, Tucker, Willard. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Knutson that the feasibility study be expanded to include the
blacktopping of streets within the Jay Simon's Addition and 130th
Street West from Highway 3 to 130th Way and that the study include the
assessed area for the 130th Street West improvements to be that area
one quarter of a mile either side of 130th Street West between Highway
3 and Bacardi Avenue. Second by Stauffer. Ayes: Stauffer, Knutson,
Tucker, Willard, Walsh. Nays: 0.
Mayor Knutson opened the Public Hearing on the proposed construction of
the frontage road within Broback Industrial Park.
The Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Published Notice and the
Affidavit of Mailed Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File 1985 -18.
Mayor Knutson explained that the Public Hearing is to consider the
construction of a frontage road that had been deleted from a project in
1973 at the request of the developer. Several attempts have been made
to cause the construction of this road to no avail.
Steve Campbell, City Engineer, presented information regarding road
configurations and various options as to what could be included in the
roadway construction project; i.e. concrete curbs and gutters,
blacktopping streets, etc.
Diane Michalski was present to represent her family's interest in the
project in that they are the only owners within the plat that have a
building on their site. They presently run a small business and feel
that a special assessment as proposed at this meeting could cause
financial hardship for their small family business.
Tim Broback was present representing his interest in the plat as an
owner. He requested that Council consider the least expensive option
alluding to the fact that the original specifications in April, 1985
did state that the road should be built with concrete curbs and gutters
and blacktopping of streets. The elimination of the concrete curb and
gutter costs may be an inducement to cause the owners of the lots
affected by a minor roadway alignment change to consider the necessary
alignment to allow the project to go forward. It was noted that there
were no detail drawings of the roadway alignment changes and
preparation of these drawings are necessary to allow any further
investigation of the possibility of constructing the frontage road.
The Council recognized that the Petition presented in April, 1985 did
state that the roadway was to be constructed to the 1973 plans and
specifications, but advised those present that the Council would not go
forward on the plans and specifications for that roadway.
MOTION by Tucker to close the Public Hearing on the proposed
construction of a frontage road within Broback Industrial Park. Second
by Walsh. Ayes: Knutson, Tucker, Willard, Walsh, Stauffer. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize the Engineer to prepare plans for the
relocation of the access point to be centered on the storm sewer
holding pond outlot with roadway alignment shift within the outlot to
better accommodate inbound and outbound traffic and further to provide
drawings for an alignment shift at the 148th Street access point or no
access at 148th with a cul -de -sac within the plat. Second by Walsh.
Ayes: Tucker, Willard, Walsh. Stauffer, Knutson. Nays: 0.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS 2{i
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 20, 1985
The developers presented the concept of the shopping center to the
Councilmembers. The project will be a 90,000 square foot retail
facility and will be located at 3405 151st Street West. The project
will cost $4,800,000 and will be financed through the issuance of
industrial development revenue bonds subject to the approval by the
Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development. The
application and all necessary documents were reviewed by Council in
addition to an agreement between the City of Minnetonka and the City of
Rosemount wherein Minnetonka has agreed to allocate a portion of their
unused industrial development revenue bands in the amount of $1,140,000
representing the remainder of the amount the City of Rosemount needed
to finance the project.
City Planner Dean Johnson informed Council that the Planning Commission
approved the project at their meeting this date. Dean Johnson further
stated that the City Staff at their last meeting discussed the
construction for the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain to this
property and that since the City needs to extend these utilities to
Holiday Stationstore at this time, that the Staff recommended that the
extension for both projects be constructed at this time. From this
recommendation the developers of the shopping center have agreed to
furnish a thirty foot utility easement across their property. The
developers have further agreed to reimburse the costs for the utilities
immediately upon the sale of the bonds or prior to January 1, 1986; and
in the event the payment is not received from the developers, the City
may draw on a letter of credit in the amount of $30,000 furnished by
the developers.

will begin removing the cars since the strike is over. Councilmen
Willard and Walsh expressed their concerns and disappointment with
McKee Trucking in that they did not cease placing additional cars on
Mr. Severson's property as directed at the last Council meeting. Mayor
Knutson stated that he felt that there was no intention on anyone's
part to bypass the ordinance and since Ford Motor Company is a large
contributor to the City, that the ordinance violation should be
overlooked this one time. Mayor Knutson directed the Administrator to
furnish a letter to McKee Trucking Company informing them that any
violation of this nature will not be tolerated in the future.
City Engineer Steve Campbell presented his letter of August 14, 1985
and U.S. Homes letter of August 8, 1985 which outline a temporary
solution to the current drainage problems in Highpointe First Addition.

Campbell stated that he will inspect the project on a weekly basis
until completion. See Clerk's File 1985 -19.

Development Company. Mr. Johnson stated that this development is being
pursued due to the City receiving preliminary approval by Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission and the Metropolitan Council allowing for a
change in sewer service from a lift station to a gravity line into the
Metro Interceptor. This date the Planning Commission reviewed this
sketch for formal review but elected to take no action until a
determination is made on the cost of the utilities.

proposal. Mr. Lowell went on to state that funding for the operation
would be from Dakota County and the Metropolitan Council Landfill
Abatement Funds which funds have been allocated to these cities.

adjacent to Pilot Knob Road and which is owned by the City of Apple
Valley. Mr. Lowell concluded his presentation asking for Council's

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 17, 1985
Discussion ensued on the proposals presented by the architects for a
new city hall or an addition to the existing city hall at the September
10, 1985 Special Council Meeting. It was noted that the cost per
square foot for the addition to the existing city hall as opposed to a
new structure were very close. Due to this cost factor and the
advantages of having city hall in town, Council unanimously agreed that
a new city hall should be constructed on the MnDot site on 145th
Street. Council further agreed that the cost of the new structure
should not exceed $1,300,000 and that a referendum take place at the
November 5 City election.

Ed McMenomy was present to discuss with Council the installation and
benefit for a water service line from the Burma Avenue location on
145th Street to the rear lot line of his property known as Dakota
Central Offices. The reason for his appearance before the Council is
the inability of the Administrator to obtain an agreement satisfactory
to the City allowing Mr. McMenomy to construct this watermain. An
agreement was presented outlining the City's interest as expressed by
the Administrator with regard to benefit and obligation in the
construction of the watermain to increase the service size to the
McMenomy properties. After considerable discussion, Mr. McMenomy
stated that he would consider the agreement further if the Council
would change Item 4 by deleting Item 5, to show the City owning the
entire watermain, and Item 6, from ten to fifteen years. See Clerk's
File 1985 -22.

Council discussed the widening of 145th Street West. Mayor Knutson

recommended that the west section of 145th Street from Chippendale to
Diamond Path should also be considered by Council based on the Public
Works Director's recommendation that the west section should be
prioritized over the east section due to the high costs of street
maintenance for this area. Mayor Knutson recommended that the east
section should be done in conjunction with the railroad crossing
widening in order to have the projects contiguous with the downtown
area improvements. Councilmember Willard requested that the Public
Works Director's recommendation be considered and that Council be
provided more information to support his recommendation on the widening
of the west section of 145th Street.
Mayor Knutson suspended the regular agenda at 8:00 p.m. to allow the
Council to conduct a public hearing scheduled for that time.

Mayor Knutson opened the Public Hearing explaining the purpose of the

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 4, 1986
Dick Back, spokesperson for the residents in this area, informed
Council that the residents would like to see the improvements of this
area abandoned and have Council consider extending and improving 130th
Street West from 130th Way to Bacardi Avenue. The residents felt that
this consideration would greatly alleviate traffic within their area
thus eliminating the need for improvements within this area. Mr. Back
further advised that if the Council elected to improve Bengal Avenue as
the road exists and as described in the feasibility report, the
residents on Bengal Avenue would lose a great deal of trees and have
potential drainage problems due to having to change the grade of the
hill on Bengal Avenue.
Councilmember Willard expressed his concern regarding the safety issues
involved in the area of Bengal Avenue and 130th Way due to the steep
hill on Bengal near this intersection. Mayor Knutson agreed with this
concern and the fact that the majority of residents on 128th Street
were not present at this meeting to discuss the abandoning of the Jay
Simon's project. A suggestion was made to revert Bengal Avenue to a
private drive which would cause abolishment of all City maintenance on
this street. The residents were in unanimous agreement that they were
against this alternative. Discussion ensued on converting Bengal
Avenue and 130th Way into one -way streets. The residents were in
agreement of this concept, but requested that the residents along this
street be informed of what affect the grading of the hill will have on
their property. There was also a general consensus that if issues on
Bengal Avenue and 130th Way could be resolved, the residents would be
agreeable to the alignment of 130th Street between Bengal and 130th
Way.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize the engineer to conduct a defined study
for the street improvements on Bengal Avenue from 130th Street to 130th
Way, and upon completion of the study, to authorize City Staff to
notified the residents of Jay Simon's Addition for review of this
study. Second by Willard. Ayes: Napper, Knutson, Tucker, Willard,

Sommers as a new patrolofficer for the Police Department effective

Mayor Knutson resumed discussion on the Chicago and North Western
proposal for an automobile distribution facility. John Shardlow,

from the railroad were present to review with Council and those present
the Concept PUD and Preliminary Plat for their facility as well as to
bring Council up to date on their meetings with the residents concerned
and subsequent studies they have made regarding noise pollution,
projected traffic and projected property values of the residents'
homes.

Knutson expressed his appreciation to the residents for attending this

City Engineer Steve Campbell reviewed with Council the proposal and
preliminary cost estimates for providing a storm sewer system for

reconsider his revised agreement since he felt there was a
misunderstanding on the purchase price of his initial agreement and
felt his agreement was very competitive to the proposal offered by Pat
Newman and Max Kingsley. Mayor Knutson thanked Mr. Dolejs for his
revised purchased agreement, but advised that the Newman and Kingsley
purchase agreement be formally accepted since Council at their February

offer which contained a typographical error and a contingency that the

concern that this would eliminate the possibility of having a liquor
store in the proposed shopping center. Mayor Knutson recommended that
the agreement be amended to specify a one -half mile radius.

and Max E. Kingsley dated March 4, 1986 with the change in Item 9, Page

funds on a quarterly basis, and there are not adequate funds in this

rate. Discussion ensued regarding compensation for time spent beyond

A petition containing approximately 500 signatures indicating support
of an ice arena in the cost range of $500,000 to $750,000 in Rosemount
was presented to Council. Terry Noble, spokesperson for the ice arena
group, requested that a referendum be allowed for the ice facility
within the context of the costs proposed in the petition. Noble

equipment. Mayor Knutson referred to a letter from R. J. Rehwaldt,
Superintendent of School District 196, in which he indicated the school
board will not make a decision until November 10, 1986 on whether to
include an ice facility in the district's proposed bond election.
Noble indicated the arena referendum should be separate from any school
district referendum. Del Erickson, architect for the ice arena group,

present and provided information regarding the operation of the Apple
Valley ice arena, as well as confirming Terry Noble's statement that an
ice arena can be supported by users other than the school district.

facility. Council questioned whether $750,000 is an adequate amount
for the bond referendum and whether the facility being proposed is the
type and quality of facility the residents of Rosemount would like to
have in their city. Council recommended that the ice arena group
prepare a refined but brief proposal regarding the costs, site
selection and drawings of the facility for Council to review at the
September 2, 1986 Council meeting. See Clerk's File 1986 -19.

arena could be shifted to the east to allow for more favorable soil
conditions.
Terry Noble advised that the school district at this time is

explaining the purpose of the hearing is to consider rezoning a parcel
of land from RM Multiple Residential to RR Rural Residential.
The Clerk had in his presence the Affidavits of Publication and Mailed
Hearing Notice.
Dean Johnson, Planning Director, advised this is a request from the
property owner to rezone a 19 acre site located north of 132nd Street
between Dodd Boulevard and TH 3. The site includes an existing
apartment building and 18 acres of undeveloped land which the property
owner would like to divide into three five acre plus lots. The
Planning Director further advised the Comprehensive Guide Plan
designates this area as Rural Residential, and the present zoning is
non conforming because utilities are not available. The property owner
has agreed to provide an easement on the southern portion of this site
for future utilities. The Council was informed the Planning Commission
this date recommended approval of the rezoning.

MOTION by Knutson to authorize two planning commissioners to attend the
Annual Planning Institute. Second by Tucker. Ayes: Knutson, Tucker,
Willard, Napper. Nays: 0.
Planning Director Dean Johnson updated the Council on the right -of -way
acquisition and slope easements for Shannon Parkway, north of 145th
Street. He noted that a waiver of trespass was signed by the Carrolls
but rejected by Walt Strese and Bill Burkhalter. Johnson said it was
obvious that the remonumentation of section corners by the County ten
years ago still affected the opinion of the property owners as to the
location of the quarter line.
At stake were slope easements on the Strese and Burkhalter parcels and
a minor right -of -way acquisition from Burkhalter. Johnson felt the
timetable was inadequate to consider condemnation and recommended the
alignment be moved twenty feet to the east. This would minimize any
alignment shift to the south of 145th Street and eliminate any
easements or acquisition from unwilling parties.
Richard Carroll was present and commented on some of the property
disputes and legal changes that resulted from the remonumentation. He
also indicated that he and Emmet Carroll were not opposed to the
alignment change.
MOTION by Napper to authorize the acquisition of an additional twenty
feet of right -of -way on the east side of Shannon Parkway which will

Meyer.

Administrator Stephan Jilk stated the purpose of the Lan -O -Ken
discussion is for staff to present information and documentation as a
result of their research of past and present problems in this
subdivision.
Planner Dean Johnson described the topography of this subdivision
explaining that the bad soil conditions and the age of the septic
systems are contributing factors to the failing sewer systems in Lan -0-
Ken. Johnson pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of temporary
public sewer system and private sewer systems and the estimated costs
for these systems. He also pointed out how the extension of temporary
service utilities was not compatible with the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
He advised that city staff are in agreement that the level of the north
pond on the Brockway property is a contributing factor to the sewer
problems, and staff are investigating diverting the overlow of this
pond to other Brockway ponds to the south.
Building Official Ron Wasmund identified the properties presently
having sewer problems and the contributing factors to these problems.
Wasmund also reviewed the water supply test data received from the
County on tests conducted in the Lan -O -Ken addition and city staff's
concern over the present ground water pollution. He further reviewed
with Council his record of pumping activity at the Brockway pond and
the correlation between the pond level and the ground water level in
the subdivision. Wasmund stated he would recommend the mound system as
an alternative to public sewer system if the mound system is properly
installed and maintained.
City staff answered several questions from residents in Lan -O -Ken.
Wasmund advised he could supply names of capable mound system
installers who are licensed to do business in Rosemount. The residents
concurred the City staff should continue researching the Brockway pond
issue.
Mayor Knutson informed the residents he could not recommend using city
funds for extending temporary sanitary sewer utilities to the Lan -O -Ken
addition. Mayor Knutson further informed the residents that city
enforcement through citation issuance would help alleviate the
problems. Mayor Knutson requested staff to prepare a recommended
program for solving the Brockway pond level problem and to compile a
list of reputable installers of mound systems. See Clerk's File 1986-

store in Apple Valley. Mayor Knutson, as a member of the county
advisory committee for waste management, stated he felt that each

systems, and he estimates that the cost for this type of system should
be approximately one -half the amount estimated by the University.

City Engineer Rich Hefti described the existing conditions and the
proposed improvements of this project at an estimated cost of $84,134.
Hefti recommended that the city finance the costs of this project
through special assessments against nine of the lots at this site.
Hefti recommended that Lot 5, Block 1 not be assessed since it
presently has access to Diamond Path. The city engineer informed
Council that the petitioners are requesting that all ten lots be
assessed equally, but city staff and the city attorney have determined
it would be difficult to prove substantial benefit for the property
owners of this lot. Further, if the property owners would appeal the
assessment, administrative costs and court costs would be excessive.
Arthur Broback was present and asked Council to consider assessment
against all ten lots. Broback also asked that the city try to use the
existing material on the present frontage street parallel to Diamond
Path. Councilmember Tucker requested that staff investigate the cost
of including landscaping on the berm east of the industrial park.
Following in -depth discussion Council unanimously agreed that if the
petitioners did not want to agree to staff's recommendation to assess
only the nine lots, they could withdraw their petition for the
improvements. There were no objections from the audience. See Clerk's

Administrator Stephan Jilk recommended that Council approve Application
for Payment No. 10 from Arkay Construction Co. with the stipulation
that staff hold the check until the contractor for city hall
substantially completes the items remaining on the punch list. Council
concurred that Arkay has exhibited a lack of cooperation in completing
the punch list and felt that by not approving the application for
payment, the contractor would begin to address the incomplete items.

Rich Hefti, city engineer, reported to Council that the Jay Simon's
Addition /130th Street West street improvements project is complete
according to the plans and specifications. Hefti stated that he and
Short Elliott- Hendrickson, the city's consulting engineering firm, have
been working with residents in this area to resolve some of the
problems resulting from the lack of restoration work to the project.
Steve Campbell of Short- Elliott- Hendrickson proposed that a change
order be approved for the restoration work involving sod, seeding and
top soil. Campbell also recommended bituminous spillways for some of
the driveways as well as additional grading to eliminate the deep
ditches. Campbell estimated the cost of this change order to be
$11,300 and advised his firm would negotiate with the contractor on a
unit price basis.
Following discussion on this item, Council concurred that Short
Elliott- Hendrickson work with Rich Hefti, city engineer, to furnish an
itemized cost list of the individual restoration items required for
this project. Council also agreed that the consulting engineering firm
should share some of the responsibility in the restoration costs and
should provide a proposal to Council for their share of costs as well
as the contractor's responsibility. Council requested that these items
be prepared for the next Regular Council meeting. Councilmember Walsh
questioned whether a permanent solution had been found regarding the
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 2, 1987
curve at the end of 130th Street as discussed at a Council meeting last
winter. Hefti stated he would discuss this with the traffic engineer
for Short Elliott- Hendrickson and provide a status report regarding
solutions to this problem at the next Council meeting.
Councilmember Napper advised that he has been contacted by a few
residents in regards to the temporary agricultural shelters on land
being rented by the Hmongs for truck farming. Napper stated that some
of the residents are not pleased with the appearance and sanitary
conditions involved with these temporary shelters. Residents in
opposition to these temporary shelters believed it to be the
responsibility of the landowner to put up permanent structures.
Lessors of the property to the Hmongs stated that Hmong customs and the
turnover of farmers from year to year prohibit permanent structures
from being feasible. Dean Johnson, Community Development Director,
advised the zoning ordinances for agricultural land do not address
these issues but rather the City Codes would have to be amended.
Councilmember Napper suggested that the residents in this area meet and
try to resolve this issue. Council agreed with this suggestion; and if
in a month's time a solution cannot be found, staff will be instructed
to research the issues involved and possibly set a public hearing to
consider amending the City Code.
The Administrator advised that Dean Johnson will be attending the 1987
Minnesota Economic Summit on June 19, 1987.
Mayor Knutson reminded Council of the tour of the Rochester mass burn
facility scheduled for June 4, 1987.

a copy of the budgets available at all times for Council review.
Councilmember Walsh requested an update on the number of burning
permits issued, fees collected and the type of burning being permitted

Administrator Stephan Jilk advised that staff research has indicated
that in the last 13 months 20 burning permits were issued. In
comparison of up to 80 a year previously, Jilk advised that the fire
chief felt that the $25 permit fee is definitely a factor in reducing
the number of permits issued and felt that the permit fee was a wise
move and should be continued. Jilk stated that in a few circumstances
the fire chief did issue permits without charging a fee, but these were
cases where businesses decided to give donations rather than permit

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 11, 1987
Consulting Engineer Steve Campbell,,,advised the project is essentially
the same as initially considered five and one -half years ago. Campbell
reviewed the proposed improvements which would include enlargement of
the Hawkins Pond area, significant amount of grading around the pond,
excavation of the area and storm sewer construction from the pond to
transport runoff from the Shannon Parkway storm sewer system.
Steve Campbell outlined the assessment area advising that all
properties within the assessment area could potentially drain into
Hawkins Pond.
City Engineer Rich Hefti provided the total estimated cost for the
project, the total estimated amount to be assessed, the estimated
assessment unit rate and the estimated number of units in the
assessment district.
Mayor Knutson asked for questions and comments from those in the
audience. Several residents voiced opposition to the project stating
they felt the existing storm sewer drainage districts are adequate and
felt developers and future property owners should be responsible for
the proposed drainage project. It was also the general concensus of
the residents present at the hearing that the proposed assessment
district, based on their opinion that the current holding ponds are
adequate for runoff, is incorrect. Residents also commented that
benefit is minimal or nonexistent. A representative for the First
Baptist Church requested that the city allow the church time to
evaluate the proposed drainage project and have the opportunity to opt
out. The representative for the church also noted the elevation of a
portion of the church property is lower than the elevation of Hawkins
Pond.
MOTION by Willard to close the public hearing. Second by Napper.
Ayes: 5. Nays: 0.
Several Councilmembers expressed concern regarding the proposed
assessment boundary.
City Engineer Rich Hefti stated that his recommendation is based upon
the fact that ultimately there is potential for drainage problems, and
it is most reasonable that eventually drainage of the entire area would
have to go to Hawkins Pond. Mayor Knutson supported the city
engineer's recommendation stated that it is important to establish a
storm water drainage district now to accommodate future and present
growth.

Administrator Stephan Jilk advised that at the July, 1987 meeting of
the Utilities Commission discussion was held regarding the high water
and sewer bills for the second quarter of 1987. Jilk explained the
sewer rate for the first, second and fourth quarter is based upon
actual gallons of water metered. The third quarter sewage rate is
based upon second quarter water usage in an effort to keep from having
too high of sewer rate based on water usage during the summer months.
The administrator noted that this year with the extremely hot and dry
summer, the second quarter water usage was extremely high and produced
high sewer rates. Staff research has found that the first quarter
water usage was a year round average, and the Utilities Commission has
recommended that Council authorize the third quarter sewage rate be
based upon the first quarter water consumption.

quarter be changed to be based upon the first quarter rather than the
second. Second by Napper. Ayes: Walsh, Napper, Knutson, Tucker.

range be adjusted to the range of $24,000 to $28,000, and Council
create a new position /classification of plumbing inspector. Since Jack
Herrley has the qualifications and experience and has been an exemplary

Vocational Technical Institute, and extend to the system to the east to
serve those residents with contaminated wells. Service could also be
extended to the City of Coates boundary for potential hookup. Jilk

parcels would increase the assessment unit amount by approximately ten
percent. Johnson recommended that Council continue the hearing to

SEPTEMBER 29, 1987
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, September
29, 1987, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with all members
present.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson informed Council he had
been approached by county staff members about the possibility of
scheduling a tour of the processing facilities located in West Germany
and Denmark. The tour would allow city and county officials an
opportunity to review technology not yet available in this country and
to be able to tour a facility which would be similiar to the one
selected for construction in Dakota County and possibly Rosemount. Due
to the complexity of such a project, Johnson felt a tour of such a
facility would further educate the council on resource recovery and
prepare them for future hearings involving the site and facility
selection. Chairman of County Commissioners Steven Loeding stated it
has not been determined who will be attending from the county. Loeding
added the large dollar investment of this project merited expenditure
of funds for such a tour. Council were in unanimous agreement for the
European tour but requested the number be minimized to two staff
members and one councilmember.

Council unanimously agreed the variance would set precedence for future
homes built along Shannon Parkway and the proposed home site would
create visibility problems, particularly since the lot is at the inter-
section of two MSA collector streets. Burg was also informed that

Mayor Knutson opened the public hearing scheduled for this time to

of the planning commission of a building permit to expand a non-
conforming use, Phil's Body Shop, Inc.
The administrator /clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Posted Hearing Notice.
John Anderson, representative for Phil's Body Shop, Inc. requested that
Council consider the appeal for expansion of his father's business.
Anderson stated the expansion is necessary to accommodate the
installation of a new paint booth since the present one is outdated and
a health hazard to the employees. Anderson informed Council the new
30' x 30' paint booth will not fit in the existing building. Jerry
Anderson of AAA Salvage was present and advised his business and the
body shop are two separate entities and requested that Council consider
Phil's Body Shop appeal with this in mind.
Discussion ensued between Council and the Andersons regarding the
ownership of the two acre site where both businesses are situated with
the Andersons informing Council that this site is presently owned by
their father, Phillip Anderson. Because of both businesses on the same
site, Council addressed both John and Jerry Anderson regarding
expansion of their businesses. Council were in unanimous agreement to
deny the appeal since the zoning ordinance has no provision to allow an
expansion of a non conforming use and that a variance to the non-
conforming section is not permitted since no variance may allow a use
which is not a permitted use in a particular zoning district. Jerry
Anderson stated both businesses invested monies based upon building
permits issued several years ago. Community Development Director Dean
Johnson informed Council and the Andersons that the city has openly
admitted an error in issuing these permits.
MOTION by Willard to close the public hearing. Second by Walsh. Ayes:
5. Nays: 0.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised that staff has met
with Jerry Anderson to discuss options available with regard to
relocating AAA Salvage. Johnson recommended continuing these
discussions with the inclusion of the owners of Phil's Body Shop, Inc.,

both businesses for a specified time period and then the businesses
would relocate to a properly zoned and regulated location.

University of Minnesota regarding the fire contract between the city
and the university. Jilk advised university officials have reviewed

reviewed these changes with Council. The major change would be to
revise the termination clause from a 30 day notice to 180 day notice

on September 1 of each year rather than in the final year of the

Johnson, community development director, advised Council the planning
commission met on October 20, 1987 and approved the issuance of a
building permit for the proposed structure subject to the addition of a
shingled roof and adequate window treatment. Welvaert stated he felt
the additional cost of approximately $1,800.00 for a shingled roof
seemed unfair particularly since the planning commission decision was a
subjective one rather than a decision based on ordinance requirements.
The community development director advised the planning commission
allows the construction of accessory buildings larger than 1000 square
feet provided they are constructed of materials which are comparable to
the primary structure and properly screened from neighboring
properties. Johnson referred to Assistant Planner Michael Wozniak's
memorandum in which similar decisions by the planning commission were

Community Development Director Dean Johnson reviewed the PUD Final
Development Plan advising this development is a 40 -acres site located
east of Shannon Parkway between County Road 42 and Dodd Boulevard and
will consist of 126 single family lots. Johnson stated the developers
would like to establish a phasing schedule of three phases rather than
one as reviewed when the preliminary plat and concept PUD were
approved. Johnson recommended that Council table all action until
revisions have been made to the PUD final development plan. Johnson
also recommended that the rezoning be made concurrently with the
development of each phase. See Clerk's File 1987 -27.
Dean Johnson answered questions from Council and the audience regarding
lot sizes, the number of units for each phase, the storm sewer district
for this development and the trail system within and adjoining this

of money in order to obtain a building permit for his pole shed.
MOTION by Napper to uphold the decision of the planning commission

recommendation to increase the sanitary sewer rate from the current
rate of $1.05 per thousand gallons to a rate of $1.25 per thousand
gallons effective January, 1988. Hefti stated this increase is because
of a rate increase by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and the
increase of city administrative costs. Hefti noted this rate would be
based on the winter quarter of water usage while maintaining the
commercial /industrial rate upon the actual water usage. Mayor Knutson
agreed on the necessity of balancing the utilities budget, but
expressed his concern for residents on fixed income and requested staff
to keep these people in mind when working on future utilities budgets.
See Clerk's File 1987 -27.

dure for both sewer and watermain lateral benefit on a per -acre basis
as development occurs on the church property and authorize payments to
the First Baptist Church for easements dedicated, based on an appraised
value with eight percent interest from the date of the waiver of entry.

REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 1, 1987
Fire Chief Bob Turek answered questions from Councilmember Walsh
regarding the fire department's need for a 3300 gallon tank, the fire
department members' experience in using such a tanker and the
feasibility of purchasing a stainless steel tank and associated
equipment. Fire Chief Turek advised justification for this size of
tanker relates to the large area of the city without hydrants.
Following further discussion, Council unanimously agreed the
specifications should be revised to include alternates for the tank and
other equipment to allow other than stainless steel as the material.
See Clerk's File 1987 -28.
Administrator Stephan Jilk discussed his memorandum dated November 25,
1987 regarding fire department officers' salary adjustments. Jilk
reviewed his recommendations for salary adjustments for the fire chief,
assistant fire chief, secretary, fire marshall and training officer.
See Clerk's File 1987 -28.
Councilmember Walsh pointed out the City Code requires all salary
adjustments be reviewed by the fire department membership before
consideration by Council. Administrator Jilk concurred with Walsh's
recommendation that these adjustments be referred back to the fire
department before action is taken by Council.
Mayor Knutson suspended the regular agenda at 8:00 p.m. to allow the
Council to conduct a public hearing scheduled for that time.
Mayor Knutson opened the public hearing explaining the purpose of the
public hearing is to consider and receive input on Hawkins Pond
Drainage Improvements, Project 176, and Section 30 Storm Sewer
Improvements, Project 177.
The Administrator /Clerk had in his possession the Affidavit of
Publication and the Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice. See
Clerk's File 1987 -28.
Administrator Stephan Jilk advised the two projects are considered as
two separate projects, feasibility reports for each project were
prepared and received by Council, and the hearing was called and
considered under one public notice. City Attorney David Grannis advised
the public improvement procedure to this point is in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.
City Engineer Rich Hefti outlined the historical background of Projects
176 and 177.
Consulting Engineer Steve Campbell provided an overview of the
watershed districts in Rosemount and more specifically the Hawkins Pond
district, as well as the location of Rosemount in the Vermillion River
Watershed District. Campbell reviewed the proposed improvements for
Project 176, Hawkins Pond Drainage Improvements, noting the proposed
enlargement of Hawkins Pond, construction of channels and proposed
easements needed to be secured from the property owner. Campbell
stated the total estimated cost of the proposed construction is
$300,000.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 1, 1987
Consulting Engineer Steve Campbell reviewed the proposed improvements
for Project 177, Section 30 Storm Sewer Improvements. Campbell pointed
out the boundaries of the project area and advised the proposed
improvement area is located within the Hawkins Pond Drainage District.
The consulting engineer advised the drainage of Twin Puddles Park would
be reduced by several hours which would increase the availability of
this area for recreational use. He also pointed out the construction
of the proposed system would eliminate the use of outlots in
Subdistricts B4 and C which would provide additional residential and
industrial lots for development. Disadvantages of phasing this project
were pointed out by the consulting engineer with the recommendation the
project be completed all at one time. The total estimated cost for
Project 177 is $470,000.
Based on past city policy for storm sewer assessments in areas of
existing development, City Engineer Rich Hefti recommended assessing
the costs of these projects to the benefitted property on a square foot
basis and the city being responsible for 25% of the storm sewer
improvement costs. Hefti reviewed the respective estimated assessment
rate for each subdistrict for Project 176 and Project 177. See Clerk's
File 1987 -28.
Tom Metzen, property appraiser for the city, advised he has reviewed
the proposed assessment rates and found them in line with surrounding
communities. He compared these rates with Burnsville, Apple Valley and
Eagan, and the proposed rate would be less than those in these
communities.
Attorney Jerry Duffy addressed Council advising he represented
approximately 170 residents who are opposed to both projects but
particularly Project 177. Duffy gave the following reasons for
objecting to the improvements: (1) object to the cost of paying for
something which does not benefit them; (2) the current system serves
them well; (3) residents did not have a problem during the recent
10,000 year rated rain storm; (4) city should look at other funding
methods if another park is necessary; (5) several backyards will be
disrupted; (6) drainage is adequate; (7) questioned engineer's
statement regarding the three to four days for drainage of Twin
Puddles; (8) felt there are significant errors in estimated cost of
easements; (9) questioned necessity and associated cost of a lift
station. Attorney Duffy presented a petition listing the names of
persons opposing Projects 176 and 177. See Clerk's File 1987 -28.
Charles A. Stauffer, 14587 Delft Avenue West, presented and reviewed
several questions concerning the projects. Mayor Knutson requested
these questions be made part of the record. See Clerk's File 1987 -28.
Several residents in the audience addressed Council regarding their
objections to Projects 176 and 177.
Pastor Roger Ernst presented a petition of names consisting mainly of
members of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, who are opposed to the
storm sewer projects. See Clerk's File 1987 -28.

Discussion was held on the county's turnback agreement for County Road
38 from 125th Street to Trunk Highway 3. Council referred to City
Engineer Hefti's memorandum of November 25, 1987 regarding staff's
recommendation to receive funds in the amount of $8,000.00 in lieu of
placing gravel on the road as proposed in the county's agreement.
Staff agreed this money could be used to help fund the improvement of
Dodd Road when utilities become available. Hefti stated it was staff's
understanding an amount of $8,000.00 was allocated to this project at a
turnback hearing several years ago. Subsequent to his memorandum,
Hefti stated the county has informed him that gravel has been placed on
the road, but only to improve bad areas in the road, and the county has
not been able to locate records of the turnback proceedings. Council
unanimously agreed to withhold approval of this agreement and requested
further negotiations between city staff and county representatives.
See Clerk's File 1987 -28.
Discussion was held on the feasibility report for the improvements of
CSAH 42 from TH 52 to TH 55. Since the public hearing held December
11, 1986, the county has proposed to change the easterly alignment of
County Road 42 in order to bypass an irrigation system. This revision
and others has caused the county to go beyond the one year statutory
limit to award the contract; and therefore, a another public hearing
would have to be held. The city engineer recommended setting a public
hearing for this improvement project for December 15, 1987. See
Clerk's File 1987 -28.

The deputy clerk had in her presence the Affidavit of Publication
and the Affidavit of Mailed and Posted hearing Notice. See
Clerk's File 1987 -29.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised the public

regarding road design.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson presented estimated
costs for the project and the proposed assessment unit size,
estimated number of assessments and the proposed minimum unit
assessment rate. Johnson pointed out that virtually all the
proposed assessment area is commercial agricultural property.
Since the city policy in the Comprehensive Guide Plan discourages
new road construction in commercial agricultural areas, Johnson
recommended deferment on all parcels beyond the quarter mile
depth and lack direct frontage on existing roads. This is
limited to parcels on the south side of CSAH 42.
Several property owners from the proposed assessment area
objected to the improvement project.
