MEMORANDUM
TO : Shakopee
FROM: Chuck Riesenberg , Planner
RE : September 5 Joint Meeting With Planning Commission
At the September 5 meeting we would like to take the oppor-
tunity of updating the Council on how the planning program
is progressing. Comments on the program direction and
major policies will be reviewed and open for comment, along
with a discussion on the major policies still needing reso-
lution.
I . Land Use Plan Progress
The preliminary land use/zoning districts have been laid-out
and consist of the following :
Highlights of Districts
(Refer to Preliminary zoning Map)
1 . AG - Agricultural Preservation
Generally containing the upper valley and presently under
cultivation, the AG district is established with strict
development control allowing only low density homesite
construction at a net density equal to one house per 40
acres . The key regulation will either be a large lot minimum
of, for example , 40 acres or density control zoning .
2 . R- 1 - Rural Residential
Aside from the AG area and existing commercial/industrial
areas , the remaining rural area outside of the urban service
district is designated R-1 . This same land area in the
existing Shakopee zoning ordinance is a 22 acre minimum lot
size . Discussions to date have focused on retaining the
existing Z acre minimum lot size , increasing it to 5 or
10 acres or going to a density control system of a net 5
acres per homesite .
3. R- 2 - Urban Residential
Identical to the existing ordinance district of R- 2 with
minimum lot sizes of 9 ,000 square feet and duplex construction
with a Conditional Use Permit , the new R- 1 combines the
two existing districts of R- 1 and R- 2 into one consolidated
district.
4 . R-3 - Two-Family Residential
Used as a transitional area between the Shakopee downtown
area and First Avenue shopping district , and the single-family
neighborhoods , the R- 3 district will be mid-density type
developments with duplexes as a permitted use and multi-
family structures up to 6 units per building as conditional
uses .
S . R-4 - Multi-Family Residential
By consolidating the old two apartment districts of R-3A
and R-3B , the new R-4 district provides future apartment
development opportunities in areas previously zoned for
such along with new areas on the east side of town.
6 . B- 1 - Community Business
Provides retailing/office space development for center oriented
uses and on-site parking . This district is located at the
Valley Mall and an extensive area centered around C.R. 17
south of Fourth Avenue .
7 . B- 2 - Highway Business
Consolidating most of the old B-1 district and a good portion
of the old B-S district , the new B- 2 area focuses around
direct access onto First Avenue and down Marshall Road to
Fourth Avenue . This district shall function as a provider
of drive- in businesses needing good access and frontage such
as fast food restaurants , open sales lots , etc.
8 . B-3 - Central Business
This district is very similar to the existing Central Business
District area and is unique in its parking requirements and
relaxation of building height regulations .
9 . I- 1 - Heavy Industrial
In the existing code , only one industrial district is
present. This new heavy industrial district is coincidental
with sewer and water services and makes up a majority of
the Valley Industrial Park and Ruhr Malting property.
10 . I- 2 - Light Industrial
The new light industrial district will act as a buffer between
the Valley Industrial Park and downtown Shakopee and expand
development opportunities for warehousing/office developments
wanting a less intense atmosphere or in the rural service area.
11 . Floodplain/Shoreland Areas
These two overlay districts which in most part are state and
federally mandated are very similar to existing code but
expanded in language to meet D.N.R. and H.U.D. approval .
II . Subdivision Code
The revised code is complete in preliminary form with key
new provisions on park dedication (page 18) , application
filing fees (page 5) , site evaluation in rural areas before
platting to insure good soils (page 9 , Section 9) , and
a road naming/street numbering system (page 20) .
III . On-Site Septic Ordinance
Following pollution control standards , a new on-site sewage
disposal and treatment code is in revised form drafted with
new provisions on innovative system installations and site
evaluation criteria.
IV. Major Policies Unresolved or Upcoming
a. Future sewer staging alternative - expanding of the
VIP or not.
b . Rural development control - stay with existing 22 acre
minimum lot size , increase the size to 5 or 10 acres ,
or enact a density control zoning approach .
C. Transportation and park plan - waiting on future urban
staging selection .

permanent unit in the basic unit structure of the expanding com-
munity, •and to which the community will be forced to adhere, and
because piecemeal planning of subdivisions will bring on undesir-
able' dis conne c ted patchwork of pattern and poor circulation of
traffic unless its design and arrangement is correlated to a Com-
prehensive Plan of the City aiming at a unified scheme of commu-
nity interests , all subdivision of land hereafter submitted for
approval to the Planning Commission shall, in all respects, fully
comply with the regulations hereinafter set forth in this Chap-
ter. It is the purpose of this Chapter to make certain regula-
tions and requirements for the platting of land within the City i

land within the City and to such land outside as extraterritorial

lots forming a part of subdivision plats recorded in the office
of the County recorder/Register of Deeds of Scott County prior to I
the effective date of these regulations, (August 9, 1972) , nor is
it intended by these regulations to repeal, abrogate, annul, or in
any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws
or ordinances except those in conflict with these regulations, or
with private restrictions placed upon property by deed, covenant, i
of, other private agreement which are equal to or more restrictive,
or with restrictive covenants _._ running with the land to which
the City is a party.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Douglas S . Reeder , City Administrator
RE: City Administrator ' s Proposed 1979 Budget
DATE: September 1 , 1978
I am pleased to present to you the proposed budget for the City
of Shakopee for calendar year 1979 . Your department heads and myself
have again put together a budget which I feel is one which will allow
the City staff to continue to serve the citizens of Shakopee with the
same level of services to which they are accustomed .
In maintaining the same level of services with the staffing
levels I am recommending, we will again be requiring an increase in
efficiency and productivity in all departments because of the continued
increase in work load in all areas . These work load demand increases
are the result of increased demands frcm Shakopee residents and busi-
nesses and new and greater requirements of other governmental levels
and agencies .
This budget again attempts to put the costs of government as directly
as possible on those who are directly demanding the services . This
is achieved through continued fees and licenses and recommendations
for increasing these fees in some areas . During 1979, in concert
with the Comprehensive Plannilig Precess , we will devote greater
effort at establishing fee structures in the planning, zoning, and
building areas which will enable us to recover our costs in these
areas from those who are receiving the services .
This budget again this year calls for a reduction in the taxes
paid by most residential property owners to the City of Shakopee .
This is possible because of the continued growth of the City of
Shakopee , particularly in the industrial and commercial areas ; because
of the increased local government aids provided by the state legislature ;
because of the continued provision by the federal government of
revenue sharing; because of the continued industry agreement pay-
ments ; and finally, because of the continued payments to the City
of Shakopee from the Shakopee Public Utility Commission. The most
important of these factors is a large increase in the local govern-
ment state aids which is due to the new formulas passed by the
legislature . These factors have all combined to permit the increase
of general fund operating expenditures by approximately 12 .4% and
still give a reduction in the mill levy from 20.47 mills to 18. 81
mills . As you are aware these factors listed above are all factors
which the City of Shakopee has little or no control over and there-
fore this revenue picture could change drastically with the elimination
of any of the above revenue sources by a change in the economy or
a change by some other governmental unit .
City Administrator ' s Proposed 1979 Budget
September 1 , 1978
Page -2-
In conclusion, you will find the proposed budget to be as tight
as in previous years , in the expenditure area while a combination of
favorable factors have provided enough revenue to allow a reduction
in taxes this year .
