FROM: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
RE : Non-Agenda Informational Items
DATE : March 28 , 1985
1 . We received a very nice thank you note from the family
of Lynn Cheever for the flowers we sent.
2 . There will be a legislative hearing on Mn/DOT' s highway
funding bill on 10: 00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 3rd in Room
112 of the Capitol . Bill Crawford had contacted us to
tell us that it would be useful to have as many city officials
present as possible . This funding bill deals with all
highway projects generally and not with just our specific
projects.
3 . The City of Shakopee' s labor negotiations with Police Local
320 have now completed the mediation stage and the Police
Local has filed for arbritation. They filed for arbritation
in 1984 and we settled before an arbitrator was selected .
The union has not reduced its initial list of demands we
received early this winter , and they are drawing comparisons
between SPUC benefits and City benefits which we are arguing
is like comparing "apples and oranges " . Specifically ,
SPDC pays 95% of family health benefits , approximately
$28 . 00 for family dental and has 12 paid holidays . If
you have questions regarding the manner in which negotiations
are proceeding please feel free to call me. The City will
not expend additional dollars until we formally begin arbitra-
tion.
4 . The March 21st issue of the Star and Tribune had an article
listing 1985 Metropolitan area cities mill levies . The
City of Shakopee was No. 52 of 85 cities with a mill levy
of 18 . 190 and the overall 85 city average of 17 .790 mills.
5 . Chuck Dimler ' s office called to inform us that the happy
hour bill is H.F. 459• The bill is still in progress in
the Commerce and Economic Commission.
6 . Attached is a memo from Jack Coller regarding river tours.
7 . Attached is the cover memo from the Metropolitan Council
regarding the solid waste management development guide/policy
plan . One or two key changes were made in the plan as
a result of action by the Municipal Caucus, AMM and other
groups and I have underlined the most significant one.
8 . Attached is a response from Senator Dave Durenberger to
our letter regarding general revenue sharing . Senator
Durenberger favors preserving revenue sharing .
9 . Attached is an excerpt from the recent League of Minnesota
Cities magazine regarding Councilmembers and conflicts
of interest.
10. Attached are two 'letters from Scottland , Inc. dated March
20 , and March 19 , 1985 . The March 20 letter refers to
the article in the Minnesota Real Estate Journal which
incorrectly stated that Scottland planned to rezone 1000
Of its 1100 acres of its vacant land . The second letter
is regarding a rezoning request for property east of C. R. 17
south of the Junior High.
11 . Attached is a handout; I received on a recent tour of Canterbury
Downs with the Metropolitan Council. I thought all Council-
members might be intErested in the information in the handout.
12. Attached are the minutes of the March 7 , 1985 meeting of
the Shakopee Coalition.
13 . Attached are the minutes of the February 26 , 1985 meeting
of the City Hall Siting Committee .

of the Baseball Lighting & Stadium Committee .
15 . Attached are the minutes of the February 25 , 1985 meeting
of the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory Commission.
16 . Attached are the minutes of the March 7 and March 14, 1985
meeting of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals meeting .
17 . Attached are the minutes of the March 7 and March 14 , 1985

meeting of the Downtown Ad Hoc Committee meeting .
19. Attached are the aE,endas for the April 4 , 1985 meetings
of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals and Planning Commission.
20 . Attached is the agenda for the April 3 , 1985 meeting of
the Downtown Ad Hoc Committee meeting .
21 . Attached is a mailing from the Eden Prairie School District
No . 272 regarding the construction of a new elementary
school . The packet regarding this project was mailed to
School District No. 720 and the City for review and comment
under Metropolitan Council guidelines. I contacted Virgil
Mears and he indicated that District No. 720 has reviewed
the information and has no problems with the Eden Prairie
proposal .
22. Attached is the monthly calendar for April .
23 . The City of Mounds View is seeking assistance from metropolitan
cities to help them defend the integrity of their Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Ordinance . Their Planning Commission and
Council denied a request for rezoning because the rezoning
would not be in conformance with their Comp Plan . The
applicant appealed and the court decision overturned the
Council decision, stating that it was without rational
basis. Recently Mounds View filed an appeal because the
enforceability and credibility of the Comprehensive Land
Use Plans are at stake, not only for them, but all of the
communities that complied with the Land Planning Act .
Staff has requested comment from the Assistant City Attorney
and the AMM . Further information should be available for
the April 9th meeting with the Planning Commission.
24 . Attached is a memo from Gregg Voxland regarding changes
in our employee health plan.
25 . Attached is a memo from Barry Stock regarding amendment
to Cable Franchise Ordinance and proposed rate increase.

Memo to: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
From: Julius A. Coller, II
RE: River Tours
I have reviewed George Muenchow 's note to you of March 13, 1985 regarding
proposed River Tours during the summer. The purpose of the letter was to
alert the City to consider what the City would require by way of permits,
insurance, stipulations, inspections, etc. at the present time.
I do not think we have any jurisdiction over this matter to require any
thing regarding insurance or license or anything else. As I see the
proposed tours will operate a boat solely on the Minnesota River and that
is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government and I don't think we
have any control over anything that goes on on the River even though they
might use our docking facilities.
Conversing with you •you stated that Mr. Houser said something about the
advisability of constructing a handrail down to the loading dock and if
this is his recommendation for safety purposes, I think this is something
the City should do regardless of propRgsed River Tours because we have
this open for the use by the public0ocking facilities we should do all
that is reasonably necessary to keep those facilities safe.

TO: Metropolitan Area Citizens and Governmental Officials
SUBJECT: Adoption of Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy
Plan and Final Statement of Findings and Conclusions
The Metropolitan Council on Mar. 14, 1985, adopted the new Solid Waste
Management Development Guide/Policy Plan and a final statement of find-
ings and conclusions regarding public hearing comments made on the
guide. Enclosed are copies of the final statement and a summary of
the guide. They are being sent to you until the guide, incorporating
all the changes approved by the Council , can be made available.
One of those changes in the guide was to allow v artici ation
jn_aource separa ion ning whether a mandatory
approach eded. IT by Jan. 1, 1988, voluntary e or s o ci les,
townships and counties have not achieved the Council 's objectives for
waste reduction and source separation, mandatory source separation
would go into effect by July 1, 1988.
The new guide also requires:
- A ban on landfilling of compostable waste (such as leaves and
grass clippings) , recyclables (such as newspapers, cans and
glass) and combustible solid waste after 1990;
- The opening of up to three new landfills intended to accept only
residuals remaining after waste has been processed;
- Establishment of region-wide programs for public education and
participation and for developing markets for recovered materials
and energy.
The Council appreciates very much the comments and direction given by
citizens, officials and others on the guide. Seventy-two persons pro-
vided testimony for the public hearing record and over 500 pages of
written and oral comments were provided. The response helped make the
guide a better document and shows the importance of solid waste manage-
ment to the Metropolitan Area.
Copies of the guide will be available toward the end of April . Ques-
tions about the new guide can be directed to Paul Smith at 291-6408.

Dear John :
13ain you iGr taking the to contact il
office tv share
your views on the proposal by President Reagan to abolish the
General Revenue Sharing program.
As you know, I have been a long time advocate of General
Revenue Sharing. In the 98th Congress , I was the principal
sponsor of a bill to extend the program for three years at
$4 . 6 billion per year . My legislation eventually had
75 cosponsors in the Senate and passed the Congress with
much
opposition . When the President signed it , he declared
GRS dollars to be "the best spent dollars in the whole federal
budget . '" Now he is proposing an early termination of the
program.
Those of us who understand the purpose and value of the
GRS must once again join together to remind the President ,
Congress and the nation of the importance of this program. At a
time when the federal budget deficit is truly staggering, cuts
in spending must and will be made . But GRS is unique among all
programs . It is the one grant to state and local governments
that provides the flexibility that local officials need to
respond to their highest priorities as they see them, and not as
they are imagined to exist in Washington . And GRS is only
partial compensation for the many strings and mandates imposed
on local government by the federal establishment .
I have always believed that GRS could serve another
purpose . If we did a better job of allocating the dollars
across the nation by adjusting the formula , GRS might also be
used to mitigate the disparities in fiscal capacity that exist
between states and regions of the country. Frankly, there are
some communities in Minnesota which really don ' t need much
revenue sharing given their ability to raise taxes locally. In
other parts of the State like the Iron Range and small rural
communities , especially, GRS is counted on to get the town or
county through these hard times. So I will continue to push for
the changes I sponsored in the last Congress that will make
GRS more equitable as between communities .
I look forward to supporting revenue sharing throughout the
budget process and will do my best to preserve it for those
communities which have the least capacity to raise revenues to

their own . Once again I thank you for taking the time to share
your views on this and other issues of national importance .
Please keep in touch. 4�

Shakopee , MN 55379
RE : Property East of C . R. 17
South of Junior High School
Dear Mayor Reinke and
City Council Members :
Scottland Inc . is proud of its track record as a developer in
the City of Shakopee. In Shakopee , we have developed only
industrial land and the racetrack . In other cities , we have
developed multi-family homes and single family homes.
For years we have been studying the possibility of developing
quality multi-family homes in Shakopee. We have examined a lot
of parcels . We believe that we now have the right property and
this is the right time to bring quality multi-family homes to
Shakopee . We hope you will agree .
The purpose of this letter is to request the opportunity to
present a proposed development plan to the City Council at its
April 2nd , 1985 meeting and to summarize the planning and
factual reasons in support of a proposed development plan and
rezoning of the above-referenced property.
If the rezoning requested is approved , Scottland will finalize
the plans and specifications for these multi-family buildings
and begin Phase I construction of 3 buildings , of approximately
60 units each in August , 1985 . The buildings will be available
for rental in the spring of 1986 . Thereafter , Scottland will
proceed with the development of the remainder of the land as
market conditions warrant and after approval of the housing
types by the City. Scottland intends to remain as the general
partner and manager of the development once constructed . The
estimated cost of Phase I construction will be in excess of five
million dollars . This portion of the development will yield at
least $ 160 , 000 annually in additional property taxes .

Our development plan be presented by:
(a) Tim Keane, AICP , who is the project manager for this
development will review with you the existing and proposed
rezoning of the property;
(b) John Shardlow, of Dahlgren , Shardlow and Uban , who is
our site and landscape planner . Who will review the planning
reasons which support this rezoning and development plan ; and
(c) Paul Madson , lead architect for the development, a
member of the firm of Arvid Elness Architects Inc . Mr. Madson
will review the multi-family housing types we are using as our
models for the development of our final housing type to be
presented to you at the April 4 , 1985 meeting.
At the City Council meeting we would like to give you a short
presentation of our development plan which we have been
developing for several months so that we can answer any
questions you may have at the end of our presentation. We will
proceed with more detailed plans after we have received your
comments. We intend to file our formal application for rezoning
so that a public hearing can be held on the rezoning at the
Planning Commission meeting of May 9 , 1985 .
Please find attached the existing and proposed zoning for the 95
acre parcel located south of the Junior High School and east of
County Rd . 17 (the Property) . The rezoning pursuant to our
development plan proposes to downzone approximately 26 acres
from B-1 Highway Commercial to R-4 High Density Residential and
rezone approximately 65 acres from R-2 Single Family Residential
to R-3 Medium Density Residential . Approximately 10 acres of
the Property would be dedicated to the City for storm drainage
facilities and 6 acres would remain B-1 Highway Business .
There are sound planning reasons in support of the proposed
rezoning . These include:
1 . The site is ideal for multi-family home development because
it is presently well served with public services including
water , sanitary sewer , transportation facilities , schools ,
existing and proposed parks , and recreational opportunities .
2 . The development plan furthers attainment of policies and
objectives for affordable and moderate income housing
policies and objectives set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan.
3 . The development plan will significantly increase the City ' s
housing stock of affordable housing for moderate income
households.
to
Mayor Reinke and City Council Members
March 19 , 1985
Page 3
4 . The current rental housing vacancy rate is between . 5%
and 1%. The proposed plan will meet immediate housing
needs in the City.
5. The Property is bounded by existing and proposed significant
transportation systems :
(a) County Rd . 17 - minor arterial to the west
(b) 13th Avenue - collector street to the north
(c) TH101 Bypass - intermediate arterial to the south
An examination of similar intersections elsewhere shows
that multi-family development is quite often the only
reasonable use for the property because highway noise
inhibits the development of single family homes . The
proposed commercial use at the corner of our property,
adjacent R-4 , and then R-3 zoning provides for an orderly
transition and buffer from the Bypass to R-2 use district .
6 . The rezoning to R-4 will only increase the high density
residential land in the City from 1 . 1 % to 1 . 3% of total land
area . We have reviewed the other R-4 zoned vacant property
in the City and find that the development of it is not suit-
able and feasible at this time for development of the high
quality multi-family units we propose.
7 . The Property is within the 1980-85 Urban Service Area .
8. The development plan will make a significant
contribution to the tax base .
9. The two high pressure gas mains cutting through the
Property pose significant barriers to low density
development . The cost to relocate the high pressure gas
mains is excessive and buildings must be clustered to permit
construction around the gas mains.
10 . Our marketing experts tell us that there is not now, or in
the foreseeable future, a market for the 40 acres of
business zoned property presently shown at this site .
Moreover , any commercial use would be along 13th Street at
the bypass intersection and would not extend deeper than 300
to 500 ft . The Comprehensive Plan reserves property
at this intersection which is more than sufficient to meet
the commercial land needs for the City. If this rezoning is
approved , there remains approximately 160 acres of vacant
land designated for commercial uses at this intersection.

11 . Because of the present lower interest rates , and prediction
of higher interest rates in the immediate future , Scottland
Inc . projects a narrow "window of opportunity" to construct
high quality market rate rental housing at this time .
Because of high interest rates , no significant apartment
projects have been built in the Twin City area for 10
years . Scottland Inc . stands prepared to develop at this
time to meet immediate housing needs .
12 . Scottland Inc . has interviewed dozens of the top residential
architects in the area. The architect chosen by Scottland
Inc. , Arvid Elness & Associates , has experience within the
City of Shakopee and will design the highest quality
affordable housing available in the City.
We respectfully request your comments and suggestions in
response to the proposed rezoning and development for the
Property.
Very truly yours ,

Shakopee Planning Commission
129 E . First Avenue
Shakopee , MN 55379
Dear Mayor Reinke, Councilmembers and
Members of the Planning Commission :
The March 1985 edition of the Minnesota Real Estate Journal
contained an article titled "The Shakopee Scenario". This
article contained a misquote that should be corrected.
The article stated that I had stated that approximately 1 , 000
acres of the 1 , 100 acres of vacant land in Valley Industrial
Park would be used to accommodate spin-off development from the
racetrack. That was a misquote. Actually, the opposite is the
case . Our preliminary studies suggest that approximately 100 of
the 1 , 100 acres (see enclosed map ) will be needed to accommodate
commercial spin-off development from the racetrack over several
years and we believe that the property located at the
intersection of CR 83 and the bypass which is already zoned B-1
is sufficient to accommodate the future commercial development .
This B-1 property has been part of the City 's Comprehensive
Plan , zoning and the plan for the industrial park for years .
There may be a commercial use that needs a location near the
racetrack which is so unique that it could not fit well into
this long establed B-1 use district at the intersection . At
this point , we have no plans for any such use . Scottland plans
to continue to develop Valley Industrial Park as the leading
industrial/office park in the Metropolitan area.
Scottland is proud of its working relationship with the City of
Shakopee. We at Scottland stand prepared to work closely with
the City as we develop Valley Industrial Park .

1. Introduction
We appreciate your spen8i:g a part of your valuable day
with us so we have this opportunity to provide to you
additional information about Minnesota ' s newest major industry
- horse racing.
The purpose of this memo is to discuss briefly some of
the important facts about horse racing in general, and
Canterbury Downs, the State ' s first racetrack, in particular.
2. Legislative History
In 1982, legislation passed which, if approved by state
voters as a constitutional amendment, would permit the
legislature to authorize on track pari-mutuel horse racing.
In November of 1982, the question of amending the state
constitution to permit pari-mutuel horseracing was placed
before the voters of Minnesota. The amendment was adopted.
Out of a total of 1, 829, 079 people voting, the amendment
received 1, 108, 255 yes votes ( 60. 6%) and 624, 721 ( 34%) no
votes. Of those voting "_yes" or "no" , 64% voted "yes" , 36%
voted "no" . "Yes" voters exceeded "no" voters in 78 out of 87
counties . With the voters approving the amendment, the
legislature was then authorized to create a racing commission
to license operati.on and management of racetracks.
Senate File 79 was introduced by Senators Purfeerst,
Frank, Jude, Bensen and Darrel Peterson on January 20, 1983.
The bill underwent rigorous review and amendments by the Public
Utilities and State Regulated Industries, Government
Operations, Judiciary, Finance and Tax Committees.
Meanwhile, the House Bill H.F. 77, was introduced by
Representatives Kostohryz, Metzen, Osthoff, Evans, and
Redalen. The bill went through the General Legislation and
Veterans Affairs, Government Operations, Tax and Appropriations
Committees .
Thereafter conferees met numerous times and eventually
worked out a compromise which became MN Law, 1983, Chapter 214
which was adopted on May 23, 1983.

3. Procedures Before the Minnesota Racing Commission
In the summer of 1983, Governor Perpich appointed
Chairperson Eliot and Commissioners Daniels, Anderson,
Gustafson, Farrell, Fruehling, Connolly, Sanda, and Coss to the
Minnesota Racing Commission.
In the fall of 1983 and winter of 1984, the Racing
Commission adopted rules governing the application for Class A
and B licenses .
On March 1, 1984, five applicants filed for the one
Class A license in the seven-county Metropolitan area in order
to own and operate a racetrack and for a Class B license in
order to sponsor and manage horse racing on which pari-mutuel
betting is conducted at that one racetrack.
After numerous public hearings and meetings, on March 28,
1984 the Minnesota Racing Commission awarded the Class A and
Class B licenses to Minnesota Racetrack, Inc. , for the
racetrack in Shakopee, Minnesota.
Since then the Racing Commission has developed an
extensive set of rules to govern racing in the State of
Minnesota.
4. Who is Minnesota Racetrack, Inc.
Minnesota Racetrack, Inc. is a Minnesota company formed
in November, 1983 to own, operate and manage the racetrack.
The shareholders of the company and each' s percentage of
ownership are as follows :
W. Brooks Fields, a Minnesota business person 5. 59%
J. Brooks Hauser, a Minnesota business person 5. 59%
Scottland, Inc. . , a Minnesota real estate 26.92%
company
North American Life and Casualty Company, a 38. 10%
Minnesota insurance company
Santa Anita Operating Company, a California 23.80%
based company owning and operating the
horse racing facility at Santa Anita Park.
5. Status of Construction
After we were awarded the Class A and Class B licenses on
March 28, 1984, we finalized our Environmental Impact Statement
and obtained the remaining permits needed in order to commence
rnnn ctrn-t i nn _
/l
Minnesota Racetrack, Inc .
page 3
On June 2, 1984 we broke ground and have continued full
speed under a guaranteed maximum cost contract with
Kraus-Anderson Construction Company.
In order to insure racing in 1985 as requested by
Governor Perpich and the Racing Commission, we and our
contractors have worked long days (and many nights) , six and
seven days a week, in order to complete the facility for the
first day of racing on June 29, 1985.
Our facilities will be first class. We will invest
$71, 728, 000 in land, construction, facilities and operating
capital . The facilities include :
a) Enclosed grandstand
b) One-mile lighted track
c) Turf track
d) Training track
e) All-seasons stables ( 1, 400 stalls) with dormitory
facilities for 280 people on site.
The racetrack is designed for all breeds: thoroughbred,
harness, quarter horses and others.
The racetrack is designed for day, twilight and night
racing all year, and is located in a proven recreational area.
6. Racing at Canterbury Downs
In 1985, we will commence racing on June 29 and race
thoroughbred horses for 78 days on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sundays into October.
In 1986 and thereafter, we will start racing in late
April and continue into November each year ( 145 days of racing)
for thoroughbreds and harness horses. We are currently
discussing the possibility of a separate quarter horse meet in
1986 with representatives of the Minnesota Racing Quarter Horse
Association.
These dates will vary depending upon market conditions
and the annual license to be issued by the Racing commission.

In 1985, we project 10, 500 people each day and $120 per
capita.
In 1986 and thereafter, we project approximately 12, 000
people each day for 145 of racing and $135 per capita.
7. Economic Contribution of Racing and Racing at Canterbury
Downs on the State of Minnesota
a) Employment by Canterbury Downs
During the race meets we will employ up to 500 people at
the racetrack. Our food and beverage concessionaire will
employ up to 200 people at the racetrack. The owners and
trainers of horses will employ approximately 1, 200 people at
the racetrack.
b) Direct Tax Payments to the State
The statute imposes a 1 3/4 per cent tax on every dollar
wagered at the racetrack in a year up to $48 million. The
statute imposes a 6 per cent tax on every dollar wagered at the
racetrack in a year in excess of $48 million.
Based on the above rate of tax, projected attendance and
per capita wagering, we project that we will pay approximately
$12, 200, 000 annually to the state in the form of pari-mutuel
taxes and admission taxes ( 145 days of racing) .
c) Summary of Overall Economic Contribution to the State
The beneficial economic contribution to the State of
Minnesota from racing at Canterbury Downs should not be
underestimated.
In October 1982, Killingsworth Associates, Inc. , which
has performed a wide variety of feasibility studies across the
United States and in other countries regarding the economics,
management, taxation, and regulation of pari-mutuel industries
on behalf of various units of government and others ; completed
a detailed analysis titled "The Potential Economic Contribution
of the Horse Racing Industry to the State of Minnesota" . That
report was distributed to the State Legislature. The study
summarized the economic contribution as follows:
- "Conducting 160 days of horse racing in Minnesota
would contribute an annual direct cash flow of
$48, 309, 500 to the state' s economy. Of this amount,
$33, 672, 000 arises from the operation of the track
itself . $12, 516, 000 from the horsemen, and
$2, 121, 500 from the breeders. Adding patron travel
expenditures brings the total to $67, 023, 500.
V /1
Minnesota Racetrack, Inc.
page 5
The economic contribution of $48, 309, 500 is shown to
enter the Minnesota economy as follows : $25, 863, 500
to other industries for goods and services,
$14, 794, 500 to households in the form of salaries
and wages, and $7, 651 , 500 to government .
In addition, racing would provide 1, 224 full-year
equivalent employment opportunities . This figure
does not include new employment opportunities in the
tourist industry.
It is important to realize that the true economic
impact is actually much larger than the total cash
flow of $67, 023, 500. As the cash flow enters and
passes through the economic system, it creates waves
of economic activity in the form of secondary and
tertiary demands for goods and services. For
example, salaries and wages paid by a race track are
used to purchase food, clothing, household goods,
and housing. Similarly, payments to other
industries by the track are used to pay salaries and
wages and to make purchases from yet other
industries. These additional impacts are known as
multiplier effects. Economic multipliers used to
reflect the additional economic activity created by
an industry cash flow generally lie between 2. 0 and
2. 5, with the higher range associated with the
agricultural sector. Using a conservative
multiplier of 2. 25, the total annual economic
contribution of horse racing in Minnesota would
exceed 150, 000, 000. emphasis added
Recently Killingsworth Associates , Inc. . provided us with
the results of their other studies in other states as follows :
Estimated
Year of Direct Economic
State Contribution Cash Flow Contribution
Colorado 1977 44, 361, 000 110 million
Florida 1978 219, 816, 000 900 million
Pennsylvania 1978 171, 813, 000 600 million
Nebraska 1979 55, 607, 000 222 million
New
Hampshire 1982 28, 200, 000 80 million
l�
Minnesota Racetrack, Inc.
page 6
Kentucky 1980 142, 685, 000 428 million
(Breeding
industry only)
New York 1980 509, 734, 000 1 billion
(Thoroughbred 100 million
only)
Washington 1982 97, 636, 000 340 million
(See attached map showing states where pari-mutuel horse
racing is permitted in 1984. )
Of course, the above economic contribution totals should be
adjusted upwards to reflect 1985 dollars . In the case of
Kentucky, the total reflects the breeding industry only and does
not include the racing industry. In New York, the total reflects
Thoroughbred racing only and does not include the major economic
contribution of harness racing to that state.
Thus it can be seen that if horse racing is allowed to
develop to its full potential, the beneficial annual economic
contribution to the State of Minnesota could easily exceed 1150
million.
We are very pleased with the warm reception horse racing has
received to date throughout the state. We hope that people
everywhere in the state will work with us to develop programs to
insure that this industry can reach its full potential as soon as
possible .
If you ever have any questions or would like to tour the
racetrack, please call us at 445-RACE.
Very truly yours,

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 AM in the Shakopee Citizens State Bank
Community Room by Chairman Jim Streefland.
Joan Salter was recognized as having a birthday this week. She gave a report on the
Food Shelf and emphasized how happy that they are to be in their new location, the
former Minnesota Gas Company Building, on 2nd & Lewis Streets in Shakopee. Food
needs again are phenominal!
a. Food amounting to 8,232 Meals were distributed through this two
county program in February. This breaks down to 42 lbs per person
per week. 110 familys received 16,464 lbs. The distribution in
Scott County was for 199 individuals which included 108 children.
b. Minnesota Food Share Drive is going good and all of us are asked to
help in every way that we can. Contributions of food and/or money
have been received from the following so far: Churches, Post Office
(excess non perishable samples) , anonymous people, individuals,
organizations, senior citizens etc.
Jackie Kes reported on the local Food Share kickoff last Saturday morning on radio
at Perkins Restaurant with all kinds of people present including Shakopee Valley
News, Scott—Carver Economic Council Board Members, Staff, and Volunteers, legislators,
and other friends. She thanked everyone involved.
a. Who receives Food Shelf help?: (In February)
1. 26 Male led households
2. 28 Female led households
3. 23 Single parent led households
4. 17 A.F.D.C. families
5. 3 General Assistance Families
6. 2 Handicapped
7. 1 Social Security Supplement
Statistics reveal that the majority of people being helped are the young. Income
average is $489.00/month. People that seek this help are embarrassed and are
reluctant about the matter.
Shakopee residents received 3,780 lbs of food in February serving 26 families with
90 individuals. A good, successful drive is desparately needed during the month
of March! The need is great.
Jeff Manthe reported that Shakopee Rotary will celebrate its 30th birthday March
19. It's annual Pancake Feed will be March 17.
Jim Streefland reported that the Lions Club is undertaking a Drug Education Program
that he will be reporting further on at a later date. The program emphasizes educating
the young (elementary students) and helping them to counter negative peer pressure.
Parents are helped to better communicate with their kids. The program is to be
integrated into the school curriculum.
George Muenchow distributed information about Bush Foundation Grants that local
organizations might be interested in considering for various projects.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:00 A.M.

CITY HALL SITING COMMITTEE
Tuesday , February 26 , 1985
6 : 30 p.m.
City Hall
The Vice Chair , Gloria Vierling , called the meeting to order
at 6 : 35 p.m. on February 26 , 1985 . Members present were Gloria
Vierling , Dolores Lebens , Dave Czaja and Dave Rockne . John
Leroux arrived a few minutes after the meeting started . John
Anderson , City Administrator , was also present and there were
no other citizens or staff present.
M/S/P Lebens/Czaja to approve the minutes of January 29 , 1985 .
The Committee discussed the evaluation criteria and the ranking
each Committee Member had provided on the evaluation . Dave
Rockne discussed his proposal for an alternative ranking method
and the Committee Members reviewed the ranking criteria . It
was decided that the City Administrator would average the scores
given these evaluation criteria by each Committee Member to
determine the overall weighing factors to be used on the evaluation
criteria.
The Committee then discussed the table evaluating the 22 sites
by the 26 unweighted evaluation criteria. The Committee spent
some time discussing whether or not any of the criteria needed
changing once they had been applied to the sites and it was
apparent how the criteria did or did not work. After some discussion
it was decided to delete the criteria entitled "Easy to Find "
and "Area Compatable with a City Hall" because they were repetitive .
The Committee also decided to add an alphabetical identification
to the criteria for easy identification.
The City Administrator reported that neither the City Attorney
or Assistant City Attorney would be interested in space in a
new City Hall.
The Committee added two additional sites to the list . Site
No. 23 which was an addition to the existing Public Works and
Police Building, and Site No. 214 which was City owned property
immediately east of the Public Works yard . The City Administrator
was also instructed to check the zoning for each site and to
correct any technical information that might be in error on
the table.
The final discussion regarding the table and the Committee ' s
evaluation concluded with the Committee deciding to use a score
of -3 to +3 in scoring each site by each of the siting criteria .
The Committee could not, meet on the regularly scheduled March
26th date and therefore decided to meet on Thursday, March 21st
at 6 : 30 p.m.
M/S/P Czaja/Lebens to adjourn at 7 : 43 p.m.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SHAKOPEE CABLE COMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY COMMISSION
REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA FEBRUARY 25, 1985
Chairman Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. with Commissioners
Abeln and Davis present. Jeanne Andre, Director of Community Development, was
also present. Commissioners Harrison and Williams were absent as was Barry
Stock, Administrative Intern.
Abeln/Davis moved to approve the minutes of the January 28, 1985, meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT TO CABLE FRANCHISE ORDINANCE
Abeln/Davis moved to open the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Jeanne Andre explained that on August 7, 1984, the Shakopee City Council
approved Resolution No. 2288 amending the previous resolution which established
the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory Commission. The intent of this new
resolution was to delegate more responsibilities to the Commission in regard
to Cable-related subject matter (i.e. subscriber complaints, variance requests).
In turn, the Cable Franchise Ordinance must be amended to comply with
Resolution No. 2288.
Zylstra-United (ZU) Cable Management was sent a copy of the proposed amendment
for their review and comment. In his letter of Febfuary 5, 1985, Mr. John
Suranyi, ZU General Manager, supported the proposed ordinance change, but
requested that a 3/5 vote of approval from the Cable Communications Advisory
Commission be required to approve a variance rather than 4/5 recommended by
Staff.
Jeanne Andre clarified that Staff arrived at the 4/5 recommendation because a
2/3 majority approval is necessary at the City Council level, and 2/3 of the
five commission members would be 4/5. A general discussion on 3/5 versus 4/5
followed.
Chairman Anderson noted that in Section B. 1 of Amendment 14.04 there is a
typographical error to be corrected ("coinsider" to "consider"). He also
added that Section B. 1 .d. of Amendment 14.04 should include the word
"requested" so it would read, "If a variance is requested because of technical
or cost reasons the variance will be equal or better."
Abeln/Davis moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Abeln/Davis moved to recommend to City Council that Section 14.04 of the Cable
Franchise Ordinance be amended as proposed in Attachment No. 3 with the
following exceptions: that the typographical error "coinsider" be changed
to "consider", that Section B. 1.d. of Amendment 14.04 add the word "requested",
and that variances be approved by a 3/5 vote of approval from the Cable
Communications Advisory Commission and the City Council. Motion carried
unanimously.

Jeanne Andre suggested that rather than specifying 3/5 in the amendment, the
Commissioners may want to just say a majority of the members seated on the
Commission/Council. She asked that the final wording of the motion be left to
the discretion of the City Attorney. Everyone agreed that would be acceptable.
SHAKOPEE COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION'S 1985 BUDGET REQUEST
Jeanne Andre explained that the Shakopee Community Access Corporation (SCAC)
budget request from the City for 1985 was $8,750.00 which represented 50% of
the cable franchise fee projected for receipt in January, 1985. Actual franchise
fees collected amounted to $16,516.51 or $491.75 less than was..ori-ginally -
requested by the SCAC. On February 19, 1985, the City Council approved
issuance of a check to the SCAC in the amount of $8,258.25 which represented
50% of the actual franchise fees collected. Staff believes that the City has
fulfilled its obligation to the SCAC by issuing a check to them in the amount
of $8,258.25 which represented 50% of the 1984 cable franchise fees actually
collected.
Abeln/Davis moved that based on the Shakopee Community Access Corporation's
request for 50% of the franchise fee, the City has fulfilled its obligation
to the Access Corporation by issuing a check to them in the amount of
$8,258.25. Motion carried unanimously.
MINNESOTA ASSOCIATION OF CABLE TELEVISION ADMINISTRATORS MEMBERSHIP
Staff has received a renewal notice from the Minnesota Association of Cable
Television Administrators that the 1985 annual membership fee of $250 is now
due. This compares to last year's annual membership fee of $240. Chairman
Anderson stated that while this is still a fairly new organization struggling
to get off the ground, he believes it is the membership most pertinent to the
Cable Commission, and MACTA has some very interesting seminars and conferences
planned for 1985.

Shakopee Cable Commission
February 25, 1985
Page 3 / 5
Mr. John Suranyi, ZU General Manager, and Mr. Dan Schaefer, ZU Chief Technician,
were present at the meeting to discuss what is feasible in regard to the
implementation of the character generators. They also asked for some feedback
from the Commissioners as to what is expected from the system. First they
discussed emergency access, and Mr. Schaefer briefly explained Chaska's override
system. Mr. Suranyi distributed brochures of the new Microsystem I Multi-Channel
Display being considered for purchase. He outlined how it would work as well as
its capabilities. The Commissioners agreed that the Display sounds like what
had been originally proposed for the system, and they are anxious for its
purchase, installation, and operation.
In discussing the exact uses for the system, Jeanne Andre suggested that Mr.
Suranyi and City Staff develop and distribute a questionnaire for the proposed
users to be followed by a meeting with the proposed users to firm up the details.
Mr. Suranyi agreed to come back to the Commission with a written proposal in
regard to the character generators based on what was originally proposed in the
cable franchise ordinance and what he believes would be the most feasible at
this time. -
Jeanne Andre noted that on January 21 , 1985, ZU made application for amendments
to the Cable Franchise Ordinance. After reviewing the application, City Staff
determined additional information was necessary before any decisions could be
made, and requested this information in a letter to Mr. Suranyi on February 11 ,
1985. Mr. Suranyi replied with his letter of February 22, 1985, stating that
based on the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-549) and the
City of Shakopee's Cable Communications Franchise Ordinance, ZU made the
legal determination that the proposed rate increases which will be effective
on April 1, 1985, are lawful to institute without City approval. City Staff
is having someone research the legality of this. Mr. Suranyi explained to
the Commission the basis for ZU's decision.
The Commissioners examined the Shakopee Public_ Access reports for the months
of December and January, the Cable Television monthly report for January, and
the ZU Service Report for January. Mr. Suranyi also presented the ZU
Organizational Flow Chart for the Commissioners information along with a
memorandum announcing that ZU has implemented a new 24-hour Answering Service/
Paging System in an effort to respond faster to any technical complaints or
emergency/priority situations.
Jeanne Andre distributed literature announcing up-coming conferences.
Chairman Anderson also briefly reported on a noon luncheon meeting which
he and Barry Stock had recently attended.
The next meeting date is March 25, 1985.
Davis/Abeln moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:36 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.

Chrm. Czaja called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. with Comm. VanMaldeghem,
Lane and Rockne present. Comm. Stoltzman arrived later and Comm. Schmitt was
absent. Also present were Judi Simac, City Planner and John K. Anderson,
City Admr.
VanMaldeghem/Lane moved to approve the minutes of February 7, 1.985 as kept.
Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - STOCKMAN APPEAL
VanMaldeghem/Lane moved to open the public hearing. Motion carried unani-
mously.
The City Planner stated the appeallant inquired about turning the extra room
in his apartment building into a third bedroom for the apartment. It was
staff's interpretation that the proposed action would be an increase in the
bulk of the building and therefore not allowed. An opinion from the Ass't
City Attorney's office states that minimal changes are not detrimental to
the philosophy of the non-conforming use.
Chrm. Czaja asked for comments from the audience.
The City Admr. added the appellant's attorney, Mr. Moriarty, came to the
same basic conclusion that there is no case law describing "bulk", so there
needs to be a definition of it.
Mr. Wayne Stockman, 3407 Red Oak Circle North, Burnsville, Minnesota, the
appellant, said he understood his attorney's opinion would be given to the
Commissioners, but it wasn't. He said it is his opinion that the two
attorney's opinions conflict 100% with the City Planner's opinion regarding
bulk. He quoted from the Ass't City Attorney's Law Clerk; to wit, "It
appears then that the changes proposed would be minimal enough so as not to
violate the spirit of a non-conforming use." He said this is neither a re-
quest for a conditional use permit or a variance. He is merely seeking ap-
proval for the proposed alteration for a valid non-conforming use, for which
the City should issue a building permit, as provided for in Sec. 11.04,
Subd. 2. i. .
The City Admr. asked for some definition of "bulk" such as adding to the
exterior of the building, adding another floor, enclosing a porch. Would
alterations to the interior be considered or not.
Comm. Stoltzman arrived and took his seat at 7:43 p.m.
Shakopee BOAA
March 14, 1985
Page 2
Comm. VanMaldeghem clarified that this definition would only be necessary
for non-conforming uses. She suggested consideration of whether or not
the changes added density and traffic and outside dimensions. Staff was
directed to further research the effects of changes to a building in an
effort to define the addition of. "bulk" at a future meeting.
Mr. Stockman stated he still feels it was a gross inequity to not allow him
to add another unit, and it was incumbent upon the City employees to inform
him of this before he proceeded with his work.
VanMaldeghem/Rockne moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried with
Stoltzman abstaining.
Rockne/VanMaldeghem offered Appeal Resolution No. 389 authorizing the appel-
lant to construct an additional bedroom, in conformance to the criteria for
alterations to non-conforming uses, and moved its adoption. Motion carried
unanimously.
VanMaldeghem/Rockne moved to direct staff to bring back a memo addressing
the definition of "bulk" as it refers to non-conforming uses. Motion carried
unanimously.
Chrm. Czaja informed the appeallant of the 7 day appeal period.
PUBLIC HEARING - MINNESOTA RACETRACK SIGN VARIANCE REQUEST
Rockne/Stoltzman moved to open the public hearing regarding the request by
Minnesota Racetrack, Inc. for a variance from the sign ordinance to erect a
temporary free standing advertising sign. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Planner said she was informed by the City Engineer that the State
of Minnesota will be erecting two highway signs at Valley Park Drive and
Shenandoah Drive designating the direction of the racetrack, and these should
be ready in a week or two. They usually don't install them until construc-
tion is done, but they could be put up earlier if the City desires.
Bruce Malkerson, General Counsel and Project Manager for Minnesota Racetrack,
Inc. , stated he did not know the application for the variance had been filed
until after it was filed without stating the reasons for the variance. He
said the sign is meant to be temporary directional-sign, not an advertising ----
sign, to orient people with the location of the racetrack before it opens to
cut down on traffic congestion problems after opening.
Mr. Malkerson said he wasn't aware that Mn/DOT was that far along with the
directional signs. At this point he would be willing to take the rest of
the comments and table the request until they find out more about the Mn/DOT
signs, which may be all they need.
Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any other comments from the audience, and
there was no response.

Lane/VanMaldeghem moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried
unanimously.
VanMaldeghem/Lane moved to table action on this variance request until
applicant has further opportunity to check with Mn/DOT regarding direc-
tional signs for the racetrack. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Malkerson asked if the City could request Mn/DOT put up the signs as
soon as possible, so people can get conditioned to the location in the
next few months.
Rockne/Stoltzman moved to direct staff to urge Mn/DOT's earliest placement
of directional signage for the racetrack. Motion carried unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS - PASS ALTERATION TO NON-CONFORMING USE
The City Planner said she informed Mr. Pass she was awaiting direction from
the Commissioners regarding the definition of alterations and adding bulk
to a non-conforming use. She explained Mr. Pass' request for alterations
to his non-conforming residence. Discussion followed.
The City Admr. stated there is clear case law that is enforceable about not
increasing the bulk of a non-conforming use, regarding the consumation of
more land area. Livability improvements such as roofing and electrical
work can be done, but the intent is to, without creating a hardship, facili-
tate the long range development of property in the area.
Charles A. Pass, applicant, stated there is an existing garage, which he
wants to make a two car garage rather than single garage. He said he has
two lots and these alterations wouldn't be bothering anyone. He said they
want to increase the ligbility of the home, as they have a large family.
They just want to add a porch, not a bedroom or kitchen.
Comm. VanMaldeghem stated that since this request was just presented tonight,
she would like some time to study it along with the research being conducted
by staff for the definition of adding bulk to non-conforming uses. The
City Admr. said case law can be cited to uphold the restriction of altera-
tions to non-conforming uses.
Chrm. Czaja acknowledged the consensus was to wait for a decision on this
request until more information is presented next month on case law.

permit to remove sand and gravel aggregate. Motion carried unanimously.

Lane/VanMaldeghem moved to continue the public hearing to May 9, 1985 to

RECONSIDERATION OF DELLA'S FIRST ADDITION
The City Planner explained that after the Preliminary Plat approval, the
applicant requested putting back in the plat Outlot A and Lot 1, which he
had previously requested removed. Staff would therefore recommend approval
to City Council with 10 conditions.
Cecil Clay, 2135 Parkridge Drive, stated he wanted the lots removed for
future development, but the City Engineer wouldn't allow that, so now he
wants the lots considered in the plat.
The City Planner expained thatthePlanning Commission -added a-condition that__ ___
if drainage was affected by the removal of the lots, they would have to be -
put back in. The City Engineer determined that drainage was affected. This
is the proper method to handle this reconsideration, according to legal staff.

nary Plat of Della's First Addition, with the following conditions:

PUBLIC HEARING - (CONT) LYNCH, MCNEARNEY, SPAGNOLO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Lane/Stoltzman moved to continue the public hearing regarding the request for
a conditional -use permit to establish a Bed and Breakfast facility at 134 4th
Avenue. Motion carried unanimously.
Shakopee Yianning Commission
March 14, 1985
Page 3
The City Planner explained that the ordinance allowing Bed and Breakfast
facilities had to be adopted and put in effect before the Planning Commis-
sion could act on a conditional use permit request for a Bed and Breakfast
facility. The information submitted for this request is the same as the
Planning Commission has considered previously, with the addition of a new
management plan for operation. The City Engineer has given a detailed rec-
ommendation regarding parking location and access. Staff recommends ap-
proval with conditions.
Chrm. Czaja asked for comments from the audience.
Jack Coller stated his purpose this evening is to keep his options open.
He believes the Planning Commission has departed completely from historic .
patterns of behavior in granting a business use in a residential area. He
thinks this would throw the whole residential area open for a commercial
enterprise. Even though it is restricted now, those restrictions are not
binding and can be changed at any time. He is very disturbed by the elimi-
nation of the requirement that at least one of the owners be at the place
at all times while open. He is concerned by all the small childen in the
proximity. He is also disturbed that the screening of the off street park-
ing from Lewis will only be partially screened. The south side along the
alley is wide open. He said anyone coming down Lewis Street will look right
into the parking area. He complained of the presence of a delapidated 100
year old building to the back of the house. He understands it must be either
brought up to standards or removed. He is requesting a condition that this
building be removed and the parking lot be moved from abutting Lewis back
to the west line of Lot 7, so then it would be hardly visible from Lewis or
his property, which would reduce the impact of this conditional use. He
added that the objections he made at previous meetings are still on record.
Dennis Moriarty, representing the applicants, addressed Mr. Coller's con-
cerns. He stated the applicants are spending a significant amount of money
for this business; it is not just a hobby. He stated the most violative type
of business is liquor, but there is no requirement that the owner is present
at all times in a liquor establishment. He said the applicants are proposing
to run a very delicate business, and their trust in a manager should be res-
prected. The applicants support the off street parking as recommended by
staff, because the run off will be better from the alley and the aesthetics
are better with less tar involved.
Mr. Moriarty stated the old building referred to by Mr. Coller is one of
several old buildings on the property and it is not delapidated. It has
been used as a garage and they plan to. continue its use as a garage. Each
of the homes in the area has an old building usedasa garage. The appli-
cants intend to maintain the garage as they would the residence. If the
building is removed there will be no place for them to store necessary_ gard-
ening and maintenance tools.
Brief discussion followed.
Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any other comments from the audience, and
there were none.

PUBLIC HEARING — THOMAS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
VanMaldeghem/Stoltzman moved to open the public hearing regarding the request
by Walter Thomas for a conditional use permit to assemble and store -trans-
portation equipment at 2888 E. 4th Avenue. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Planner went over the considerations involved and recommended ap-
proval with conditions. She suggested the Commissioners might want to con-
sider a limitation on the number of cars stored or amount of storage area
used, such as 50% of the available storage area or 45 cars maximum.
Walter Thomas, 13708 Summit Lane, Burnsville, said he would be more than
happy to keep the parking area neat and orderly and even paint parking lines
if necessary. He would anticipate at any one time there might be 10-20 cars
inside and the same amount outside.
Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any comments from the audience.
Bruce Malkerson, attorney for Minnesota Racetrack, Inc. , asked to what height
the screening of the storage area would be required. The City Planner replied
that the intent would be the full 6 foot fenced height, for total screening.
Mr. Malkerson responded that would be no problem for them.at that height,
Mr. Thomas said there would sometimes be damaged cars stored outside, but
they wouldn't be seen. It will not look like a junkyard.
Discussion ensued regarding the difference between "reconditioning" and
"repairing" cars. Mr. Thomas said they do some work for insurance companies,
but they don't take any major wrecks, just fenders, lids, doors--only minor
repair.

DISCUSSION - FINAL PLAT OF FOX RUN FIRST ADDITION
The City Planner said she hasn't been able to get together with Mr. Corrigan,
the developer, so she isn't sure what his request is.
John Diwer, 13470 Pike Lake Trail, Prior Lake, said he has purchased a por-
tion of Fox Run and he intends to divide that property into two lots, and
he is of the understanding that Mr. Corrigan just wants final approval.
The City Planner said Mr. Corrigan has requested some discussion before the
final approval.
Chrm. Czaja stated there can be no discussion without Mr. Corrigan, and
therefore he will have to contact staff and set up another time.
INFORMATIONAL
Brief discussion was held regarding the meeting procedures recommendations.
The City Planner related the ICC's concerns regarding the design standards
proposed. She asked for a date to set a public hearing on the downtown de-
sign standards. Consensus was April 18, with a second date of May 2.
Discussion- ensued regarding complaints about the Hall conditional use per-
mit. Various Commissioners reported on their viewings of the property and
surrounding. area. Chrm. Czaja stated that his visual inspection showed
violations of on site storage of blocks.
VanMaldeghem/Rockne moved to recommend to City Council to revoke Conditional
Use Permit No. 367 due to non-conformance with the conditions relative to
on site storage of materials and noise limits, and direct staff to send a
certified letter to Mr. Hall with this information. Motion carried with
Comm. Lane abstaining.
Rockne/VanMaldeghem moved to accept the staff review of Conditional Use
Permit No. 271 (amended) for the operation of a nursery school in an R-2
zone. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Planner reported that the City Council adopted the Conditional Use
Permit and Mining Permit for Shiely and commended the Planning Commission
for its work on it.
The City Admr. said staff is receiving a lot of requests for re-zoning, and
he would suggest a joint meeting with Planning Commission and City Council
to discuss whether-these requests should be dealt with individually or -- -_--
comprehensively-- Staff needs further-- direction- for:-these_se-.zoningzequests -=
Consensus was for a joint meeting on April 9, 1985 if agreeable with Council.
Chrm. Czaja read the letter of appreciationprepared_ .for_the Planning Com-
mission to be sent to Bev Koehnen.
Bruce Malkerson, Executive Vice-President of Scottland, Inc. , stated they
have a proposal for property on CR17 south of the Jr. High School, for which
they will be requesting re-zoning in the future. At this time they -are not--
SnaKopee Ylanninb (,ommission

asking for conceptual approval, but only for questions the Commissioners
feel they should address before going further. He feels this is the right
time for quality multi-family residential housing in Shakopee.
Tim Keane, Vice President for Scottland, Inc. , and planner, explained
further the proposal with regard to current and proposed zoning. He said
the property would be developed in stages. Because it is signifcantly
constrained by gas easements, they would have cluster units.
Paul Madson, architect for Arvid Elness, showed slides of multi-family
housing types Scottland is using as models for the development proposed.
John Shardlow, site and landscape planner, stated they recognize they have
the burden proof for a request for re-zoning and they will be presenting
why they think 6 acres of B-1 is sufficient at the by-pass interchange.
The City Admr, pointed out that most of the request for re-zoning are for
B-1. Therefore, if Scottland advises that there is too much B-1 all over
the City, that will also affect their subsequent requests for re-zoning
other areas to B-1. Mr. Malkerson replied that they definitely need to be
site specific in regards to the amount of B-1 at a particular location.
He stated they will be back at another time with more presentations.
Comm. Stoltzman asked for someone else to be appointed as liaison to the
Downtown Committee, at least for the summer when his hours have been changed.
Chrm. Czaja reported that of the persons volunteering to fill the vacancy
on Planning Commission, City Council has nominated George Reahlander, James
Link and Paul Morrenke. The City Admr. said they are to appoint one on the
19th. If anyone additional wants to be considered, a Councilmember should
be notified.
Lane/Stoltzman moved to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned

PROCEEDINGS OF THE
DOWNTOWN AD HOC COMMITTEE
SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA
March 6 , 1985
Chrm . Laurent called the meeting to order at 7 : 33 A . M . with
the following voting members present : Jerry Wampach , Terry
Link , Bill Wermerskirchen Jr. , Mike Sortum, Dan Steil , Don Martin,
Jim Stillman , and Terry Forbord. Absent : Joe Topic. Steve Clay
and Dick Stoks came later . Non-voting member present : Lee
Stoltzman. Also present: Jeanne Andre, Community Development
Director , John K . Anderson , City Administrator , Bo Spurrier,
City Engineer, Carl Hofsted , Representive from MnDOT and Wilbur
Schroers , Downtown Businessman.
Link/Stillman moved to approve the minutes of February 20 , 1985
as presented. Motion carried .
Chrm. Laurent advised the Committee that Ken Anderson from Barton-
Aschman would not be attending the meeting as a result of the
City Council action the night before, whereby the Council decided
not to hire a consultant at this time. The reason being they ' d
like to be a little more conservative to wait and see if the
federal funding will be available for the bridge and hopefully
get some input from the downtown people to find out what they
want.
Dick Stoks arrived at 7 :39 A.M.
Chrm. Laurent suggested going over each option addressed in
the T. H. 101/169 Bridge and Junction Improvement memo to see
which options best address the Committee' s goals and objectives
in each case.
Chrm . Laurent introduced the first question regarding diversion
of through traffic off First Avenue.
Discussion on the question regarding eliminating truck traffic
on First Avenue was considered with the following suggestions
made by the committee : A diversion of truck traffic off of
First Ave . with a truck route for deliveries ; maybe a through
way on Levee ; a mini-auto mall , where people could park right
in front of where they wanted to shop; that people should have
a choice with easy access to either go in or around the downtown ;
and keep a by-pass short to keep traffic as close as possible
to the downtown area to keep people aware that Shakopee is there.
Consensus of the committee was to have no through traffic on
First Avenue , except car traffic .
Page two
Downtown Minutes 3/6/85
The City Engineer recommended that the Committee not try and
segregate truck traffic , because it would be unenforceable .
The only practical plan would be to eliminate all through traffic
from First Avenue .
Chrm . Laurent reviewed what the Committee ' s B-1 revised plan
did ; 1) created a small part of downtown as a retail core ;
2) diverted traffic that wants to go around ; 3) created points
of arrival that are eye catching ; and 4) provided easy access
for people who want to get to the downtown.
Discussion on diversions was then addressed by the Committee
with the following suggestions: That a diversion should be provided ,
but not required ; that there should be diversion that allows
for people who want to go around downtown , and easy access for
those who want to go downtown by automobile ; that we should
try and capture tourist traffic , but be concerned mainly on
accommodating people in town and that drive through often.
Consensus of the committee was that there should be some kind
of short diversion to keep truck traffic off of First Ave , with
easy access points for people who want to shop downtown or go
around the downtown.
Steve Clay arrived at 8 :16 A. M.
The City Engineer advised the committee that using any existing
street for highway traffic would require more (thicker) pavement ,
that the only advantage to using an existing street would be
for acquisition purposes , cecause the roadway would need to
be completely rebuilt.
Mike Sortum left at 8 : 21 A. M.
The Community Development Director stated that at the Council
meeting , Mrs . Lebens was concerned that putting Mr. Lebens name
on some of the options would discredit those options and people
wouldn ' t take them serious-'- y . This was not the intent , but
it was done to distinguish the different ideas one from another,
even though many of the ideas do overlap.
Discussion was then directed to the location for the point of
arrival and location of points of traffic diversion . It was
determined by the Committee that it was more important for them
to determine where the point of arrivals are and they ' d let
the engineer decide how far North of First Avenue the road would
have to be located .
Page three
Downtown Minutes 3/6/85
Jim Stillman suggested plan Hh as a good alternative , with the
point of diversion to the west being at Fuller and to the east
at Spencer , with the same points of arrival . This plan makes
a T-intersection at Lewis which is what MnDOT recommended .
The City Engineer advised that T-intersections lack capacity
to deliver the cars into Shakopee. It would be less efficient ,
and a traditional crossed intersection can also address MnDOT' s
concerns.
Dan Steil left at 8 : 34 A.M.
Terry Forbord raised the concern of the highrise being included
in the downtown core or not . If not , a way for them to get
into the downtown should be provided .
Bill Wermerskirchen Jr. agreed with Terry Forbord that the highrise
should be included in the downtown core . He suggested moving
the by-pass so it would come out at Scott, making it close enough
to be able to see the point of arrival at Fuller.
Consensus of the Committee was to keep the retail core between
Spenser and Fuller and locate diversion points at Spenser on
the east and somewhere between Fuller and Scott to the west.
The alignment for diverting the traffic will be established
by the geometrics as to how far it ' s diverted North of First
Avenue. Two other options yet to be decided are ; 1 ) How important
is having the highrise included in the downtown core ; and 2)
if they do decide to come out at Scott , can a strong enough
sense of arrival be created at Fuller to bring people into the
downtown.
Community Development Director suggested exploring these options
with cost estimates , to see how much these issues would effect
the cost factors.
Chrm. Laurent then initiated discussion on the bridge location
stating he thought whatever worked best for the traffic flow
would be the best solution , regardless whether there are one
or two bridges.
Bill Wermerskirchen Jr. thought option Ee with two bridges and
two lanes of one-way traffic would be logical. With some traffic
still on First Ave . and still diverting a lot of traffic on
Levee Dr. , with entry at Spenser and Scott and with a sense
of arrival still at Spenser and somewhere on Fuller. The only
problem being the traffic coming in from the North and going
East would still have to come up to First Ave . If the diversion
was a two-way truck route on Levee Dr. it would work out .
Page four
Downtown Minutes 3/6/85
Carl Hofsted of MnDOT noted that with the short term vs. the
long term concept , it should be kept in mind that the Southerly
by-pass will divert 60-80p of the 5-axel trucks out of Shakopee .
Mr . Hofsted also stated that option Hh with a T-intersection
would have to have one less lane in approach from the North
to intersection , which would effect the capacity of the inter-
section. And option Ee with two-way traffic diversion would
have a problem with traffic from 169 North bound traffic , how
do you get them on to the bridge?
The City Administrator briefly described his option Jj , which
brings the intersection North of the river. Bringing the river
front to downtown.
Jim Stillman and Bill Wermer:,kirchen Jr. left at 9 : 07 A. M.
Mr . Hofsted commented on option Jj stating that MnDOT would
have a hard time going along with this alternative , because
it would be difficult to justify cost relative to user benefits
of this alternative.
The City Administrator suggested MnDOT take another look at
Option Jj in a long-term perspective , because it is more convenient
for everyone except the traffic going strictly East-West on
Hwy. 101 , which the Southerly by-pass would be most advantageous
for handling .
Chrm. Laurent asked where the Committee goes from here , without
a consultant for help.
The Community Development Director explained she didn ' t think
it was the Council ' s intent that the Committee wouldn ' t get
any help, but they wanted to feel there was a consensus knowing
you weren ' t being led by a consultant.
Chrm. Laurent stated the Committee has gone over this same process
three or four times and have come up with the same result, being
very consistent with what they bring to the Council. -- -° _
The City Administrator suggested focusing on other things now , -
sending the alternatives the Committee has-come up - with-- to the
Council for them to- act or after the funding is assured and
then a consultant can--be---chosen to----review---thcse alternatives
and proceed from there--- - - --

Downtown Minutes 3/6/85
Steve Clay moved to adjourn all meetings of the Downtown Ad
Hoc Committee until Council decides to hire a consultant, otherwise
he felt they were just wasting their time.
Community Development Director reminded the Committee that they
had already scheduled a meeting with the architect students
for next Wednesday , at 7 : 00 A.M. , so perhaps Mr. Clay' s motion
should be addressed at that time.
She also advised the Committee that Pete Sames was appointed
by the City Council as a voting member to the Downtown Ad Hoc
Committee . She also reviewed the resolution establishing the
Downtown Committee and discovered that it does provide that
if anyone with two unexcused absences would be immediately removed
from the Committee. This will be reviewed at a later date .

PROCEEDINGS OF THE
DOWNTOWN AD HOC COMMITTEE
SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA
March 13 , 1985
Chrm. Laurent called the meeting to order at 7 : 08 A . M. with
the following voting members present : Steve Clay , Dan Stiel ,
Don Martin , Jim Stillman and Terry Forbord. Terry Link, Jerry
Wampach, Bill Wermerskirchen Jr. and Dick Stoks came later.
Absent : Mike Sortum , Pete Sames and Joe Topic . Non-voting
member present : Lee Stoltzman. Also present : John K. Anderson ,
City Administrator and Jeanne Andre, Community Development Director.
Clay/Forbord moved to approve the agenda for the March 13 , 1985
meeting as presented. Motion carried.
Clay/Steil moved to approve the minutes of February 27 , 1985
as presented. Motion carried.
Joe Niznik of the University of Minnesota Center for Community
Studies started a presentation of the design concepts he and
his cohorts developed from the Committee ' s comments from the
previous meetings. These are : 1) a by-pass to take the heavy
truck traffic away from First Ave . , allowing First Ave . to become
a pedestrian and auto mall , 2) the side streets could then be
made into minor auto malls with additional parking spaces provided
by angle parking bays , 3 ) establish streetscaping and focal
points for entry into downtown to stimulate passers-by to stop
and shop and 4) improve the images of downtown.
Terry Link arrived at 7 : 17 A.M.
John Kulhanik started the presentation of the Master Plan which
demonstrated : a parallel parking scheme along First Ave. , details
on types of paving and paving patterns for revitalizing First
Ave . as a major auto and pedestrian link to the City , a new
parking and boat launch scheme for the riverfront with trails
to facilitate snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. In addition
they carried the paving patterns across the streets to facilitate
the crossing of pedestrians to make a smooth transitition on
First Ave. Also included are an entrance arch on Lewis St. and
relocating the train depot between Lewis and Holmes to be used
as a shop or restaurant perhaps .
Joe Niznik presented the streetscape portion of the plan which
consisted of: physical changes that can be made to the existing
street system when the heavy traffic is rerouted , suggesting
narrowing the width of the street on First to make the sidewalks
wider, from 6 ' to 161which would allow for more pedestrian ameni-
ties. At certain corners they added knolls which help define
angle parking and the wider sidewalks shorten the distance to
cross the street , therefore making it easier for pedestrians
Page Two
Downtown Minutes 3/13/85
to cross the streets . At one knoll a tower was added for a
focal element which draws attention to the downtown area and
also facilitates a seating area. On the side streets they suggested
reducing the street size to accomodate 131 sidewalks with angle
parking on one side and paral:iel on the other. With this situation
he suggested theme materials '-,o enhance the architectural heritage
of the turn of the century.
Jerry Wampach & Bill Wermerskirchen Jr. arrived at 7: 31 A.M.
Brad Pontius then presented the idea of reestablishing building
facades to create a character for the downtown that people would
remember and want to come back to.
He also suggested uneven tree plantings to facilitate signage
with benches and lighting at mid-block and brick paving , with
the sidewalks being carried into the streets to help facilitate
pedestrian movement.
The City Administrator arrived at 7 : 40 A.M.
Chrm. Laurent questioned the use of parallel parking on Main
St. instead of diagonal parking.
Brad Pontius said the reason for concentrating more on the amendities
in this block is to help centralize and label it as the place
to come to.
Joe Niznik also added that ' the traffic volume would probably
be high and people backing out of diagonal parking would create
more of a hazard then with parallel parking . Whereas , the angle
parking on the side streets would be more feasible , because
there would be less traffic.
Ted Maro then presented the trail system portion of the plan.
It consisted of two trails :3tarting at a central knoll ; one
for hiking and cross country skiing which would be closest to
the river , about 61 - wide and the second for snowmobiles and
bikes , 61 - 81-- wide .-- --Being approximately 201 apart . There
would be a year around- shelter to be used for atourist attraction -
in the summer and a place to warm-up in the winter. They feel

The Community Development Director questioned what material
was suggested for the trails.

Downtown Minutes 3/13/85
Ted Maro informed he addressed two different kinds , one being
limestone and the other asphalt , but felt the crushed limestone
would be more practical .
John Kulhanek then presented the riverfront area of the plan
located where the by-pass splits off of First Ave . and along
the river to Spring Street . Because of the flooding problem
in Huber Park, there would have to be some regrading done to
bring the recreational portion of it to the 709 floodplain mark,
it is now at 706 . They suggested vacating Spring Street and
the one between Spring and the river so they could raise the
area 41 with fill to create a city park that would be divided
into three areas ; first the filled area which would be manicurred
with picnic tables and other park equipment, then a transition
area with silver maple and ash, and then leaving the area next
to the river with natural vegetation because of the flooding .
These would be a pedestrian overpass at Sommerville and a wall
separating the park from the by-pass.
Committee members discussed the concept plan ideas addressed
by the students.
Dick Stoks arrived at 8 : 10 A. M.
Chrm. Laurent thanked the students for the great job they did
on the concept and the presentation.
The Community Development Director summarized the downtown bridge
and highway options discussed at the last downtown meeting to
clarify consensus before taking it to Council .
A. Areas which the Downtown Committee has reached consensus
on proposed bridge/junction improvements:
1) Desire to have two-way by-pass of traffic off First
Avenue for a limited distance .
2) East and West points of arrival to downtown retail
core should be at Spenser and Fuller. (This does not
refer to diversion of traffic which is addressed in
B) .
B. Options which Downtown Committee recommends for study for
bridge/junction improvements :
Page four
Downtown Minutes 3/13/85
1) One option for diversion of traffic off First Avenue
should start at Spencer on the East , with diversion
on the West at approximately Fuller Street . This
option would maintain the current problem separation
of the senior highrise from the retail core , and so
should include in its cost analysis an overpass or
underpass to aid in pedestrian movement across the
highway.
2) A second option for diverting traffic off First Avenue -
would still start at Spenser on the East, but divert
at approximately Scott Street on the West. Diversion
at Scott would remove a natural point of arrival to
the retail core at Fuller and so this option s h o u 1 d
develop some alternative focal point at Fuller to
compensate for the earlier diversion and include this
element in the cost factors.
3) A third option would take the intersection to the
North of the river with connecting roadways at Spenser
and either Fuller or Scott. This option places more
emphasis on the bridge portion of the project and
would require MnDOT concurrence.
C. Areas which the Downtown Committee left for additional
analysis of consulting engineer:
1) Exact location of the East-West traffic diversion
between the river and First Avenue.
2) Use of one four-lane bridge at either Holmes or Lewis
or paired bridge option.
3) Elevation of bridge and how it approaches the .East-West
diversion and provides for entry of traffic to the
downtown.
D. Cost considerations which Committee particularly discussed:
1) Cost of acquisition of improved land for right-of-way.
- 2) Cost of rebuilding and possible--- changes -in- el-evaton
of existing R-O-W if used for- highway.
Page five
Downtown Minutes 3/13/85
3) Alternatives and cost of removing and/or relocating
public buildings and facilities potentially impacted
by the highway/bridge project (Boat access , restroom,
Community Services, water well, electrical substation,
trailhead)
The Community Development Director told the committee at a recent
Council meeting the consultants estimated that there is an additional
$10 million that would be available from tax-increment.
Dan Steil left at 8 : 42 A. M. and Don Martin left at 8 : 48 A.M.
The committee reconfirmed their consensus of these options ,
with the Community Development Director suggested the committee
members attend the council meetings when this issue is presented
and address their concerns at that time.
Link/Wermerskirchen moved that the Downtown Committee has consensus
that the summary of the Downtown Committee Discussion of Downtown
Bridge/Highway Options prepared by the Community Development
Director, with the amendment of the word "disgression" in line
C. be changed to "for additional analysis" , be approved as pre-
sented. Motion carried.
Chrm. Laurent asked for comments concerning future meetings.
It was consensus of the committee that they would meet April
3rd at 7 : 30 A.M.
Lee Stoltzman advised staff to update staff reports for sewer,
utilities, Housing Alliance and Council Actions concerning the
downtown committee.
The Community Development Director asked the committee if it
would be agreeable with them to attend the City Council meeting,
if and when the bridge/junction issues are further discussed
and also to the Planning Commission public hearing when they
address the Downtown Zoning and Design Standards (tentatively
scheduled for either April 18th or 25th) . The committee was
agreeable and will be sent notices of these meetings.
Chrm. Laurent then read Terry Link' s letter of resignation from
the committee.
Stillman/Forbord moved to adjourn at 9 : 00 A.M. Motion carried .

PREFACE
This ammendment to the original Capital Improvement Program has been
prepared for the Metropolitan Council and other contiguous governmental units as
required in the Land Planning Act and updates the Capital Improvement Program
for the Eden Prairie School District through 1985. The original Capital
Improvement Program, as submitted in 1980, is now being updated to implement the
construction of an elementary building in the Eden Prairie School District as
originally planned in the 1980 Capital Improvement Program.
AMENDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The school district appointed an Enrollment & Facilities Committee in the
fall of 1984 to study the enrollment and facilities of the Eden Prairie School
District for the years 1985-1990. The committee was comprised of citizens,
School Board members and staff members of the school district. The
recommendations of the committee are summarized below.
RECOMMENDATION 1 - ELEME^ITARY SCHOOL
The committee recommends building a new elementary school to be located
within the southeast quadrant of the school district.
RECOMMENDATION 2 - TEMPORARY FACILITIES
The committee recognizes that the district will need temporary space until
the new building is available; therefore, the committee furthermore
recommends renting space and developing kindergarten center(s) for the
1985-86 and 1986-87 fiscal years.
RECOMMENDATION 3 - FUTURE SPACE STUDY
The committee recommends that the School Board reappoint another Enrollment
&
Facilities Committee during the early part of the 1985-86 school year to
study the additional impending and imminent needs for additional facilities
by the end of this decade.
ENROLLMENTS
Exhibit 1 is taken from Page 29 of the original Capital Improvement Program.
It reflects the original enrollment history and projections through 1985 as
estimated in 1980. Exhibit 2 is the current enrollment history and projections
through 1990. Note that the original projections made in 1980 predicted that
enrollment would be 4,481 in the 1984-85 school year. In actuality the
enrollment was 4,212. The current projections in Exhibit 2 also predicts that
the enrollment in 1989-90 will increase from the current 4,212 to 5,921 which
is an increase of 1,709 students. The district has been fortunate in being
relatively accurate in its long-range enrollment projections and since the
district continues to use the same assumptions in producing these predictions,
the district is equally confident of the current projections.
-2-
The district also produced a set of enrollment "parameters" which show the
"high range", "low range" and "best estimate" enrollment projections. The
district feels confident that the actual enrollment will be within the high and
low range and feels most confident with the "best estimate" projection.
Exhibit 3 reflects the enrollment parameters.
BUILDING CAPACITIES
Exhibit 3 also reports the current capacity at each grade level . For
example, current capacity for kindergarten children is 405 as compared to
projected enrollment for 1985-86 at 421. The district uses a term "practical
capacity" as opposed to total capacity. Practical capacity is established at
90% of total seating capacity for kindergarten children, 900//Q of total seating
capacity for grades 1-5, 85% of total seating capacity for grades 6-12. The
difference between total seating capacity and practical capacity is that
boundary lines, scheduling, course selections, ages of children, etc. do not
permit schools to be used to 100% of seating capacity.
Exhibits 4, 5, 6 and 7 reflect the graphic portrayal of projected
enrollment as compared to existing building capacities. Each exhibit relates to
particular specified building levels as indicated.
These charts on Exhibits 4 through 7 clearly show that practical building
capacities will be exceeded in the 1985-86 school year at grades K-5. Page 39
of the original Capital Improvement states that the district planned to
construct an additional elementary in the year 1987-88. This proposal is in
keeping with that recommendation.

CURRENT LEASE WITH EDINA SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Eden Prairie School District has been leasing an elementary school from
the Edina School District for six years. The district currently has a lease
through 1993-94; however, the lease can be terminated by either school district
with a three year advance notice. The Edina administration has reported to the
Edina School Board the Edina School District is starting to grow again at the
elementary level after several years of declining enrollment and it may be
possible that the Edina School District will need to cancel the lease prior to
1993-94.
CLASSROOM AVAILABILITY IN SURROUNDING DISTRICTS
The Eden Prairie School District has demonstrated its commitment to
inter-district cooperation by having already leased a building from the Edina
School District for six years and plans to continue using it for the indefinite
future. The Eden Prairie School District has investigated the availability of
additional classroom space in other contiguous districts. A review of the
classroom space availability is as follows.
The Shakopee and Chaska School Districts adjoin Eden Prairie on the south
and the west. Neither of these school districts has any classroom space
available.
The Minnetonka School District adjoins Eden Prairie on the west and north
boundaries. Minnetonka does not have any elementary space available.
Minnetonka does have a junior high school that is partially vacant at the
intersection of State Highway 41 and State Highway 7. The space that is
available in the Minnetonka West Junior High School would require extensive
remodeling and equipment purchasing in order to make it functional for an
elementary building. Furthermore, it is located so far from the Eden Prairie
population center that it makes its usage impractical .
-4-
The Hopkins School District is located on the northern and eastern
boundaries of the Eden Prairie School District. Hopkins has one elementary
school building located at the Intersection of Baker Road and Minnetonka
Boulevard (Burwall Elementary) that is currently being leased by Hopkins
Community Services to various renters. It is currently leased and unavailable
for renting by the school district. It is also located too far from the Eden
Prairie population center to make it a practical location to consider.
The Hopkins School District also has Eisenhower Senior High School located on
Highway 7 West of Highway 494. This building is completely leased to various
renters through the Hopkins Community Services Department. Even if the
Hopkins School District was to consider leasing it to Eden Prairie, it would
require significant remodeling for it to be usable as an elementary facility.
Finally, it is also located too far from the Eden Prairie population center to
make it a practical location for consideration.
The Edina School District is located on the eastern border of Eden Prairie.
Edina has one building available which the Eden Prairie School District has
already leased. . Edina informs Eden Prairie that their population is starting to
grow at the elementary level and that additional space is not available.
The Bloomington School District has an elementary building (Southwood
elementary) located approximately five miles from the southeast corner of the
Eden Prairie School District which is available for rental . Southwood is
currently being rented to other organizations but the Bloomington School
District would be leasing portions of it to the Eden Prairie School District
in 1985-86. The Eden Prairie School District plans to rent portions of it
in the future. The building is too small for it to be used as a permanent
structure in place of the one currently being planned for construction in
Eden Prairie. Since the Eden Prairie School District is growing quite rapidly,
it would be Eden Prairie School District's desire to use Southwood elementary
as an overflow facility.
-5-
The conclusion of the Eden Prairie School District is that the only
funtional and usable space in surrounding school districts is Southwood
elementary in Bloomington and Eden Prairie plans to rent space within that
building as an overflow facility as needs occur and as such plans coordinate
with Bloomington' s plans.
DEBT SERVICE
Exhibit 8 reflects the current debt service schedule. It should be noted
that the highest principal and interest payment is scheduled for levying in the
87-88 school year and then the payments decrease. This was a part of the long
range plan for Eden Prairie' s future needs.
TAXABLE VALUATIONS
Exhibit 9 is a summary of the taxable valuations, debt payments and mill
levies through the year 1990. If this chart was compared with Page 74 of the
original Capital Improvements Program, one would note that the original chart
projected much slower growth in the taxable valuation in Eden Prairie and
thereby projected the mill rates to hold stable at 11 mills whereas, in
actuality, the taxable valuation has grown very rapidly and the mill rate has
decreased substantially. For example, the original Capital Improvement Program
projected the debt service mill levy to be 11.234 mills in the 1985-86 school
year whereas, in actuality, it is reduced to 5.035 mills.
-6-
SUMMARY
It is evident from the enrollment history and projections that the Eden
Prairie School District is growing relatively rapidly. The school district has
already exercised an option to lease a building from a neighboring school
district by leasing Highlands elementary school in Edina. The Eden Prairie
School District has carefully surveyed surrounding school districts to determine
if additional elementary facilities may be available for Eden Prairie's use in
the next 5 to 10 years. It has been determined that elementary space will not
be available in the foreseeable future. Finally, it should be noted that the
Eden Prairie School District is located within a community that has reached
approximately 50% of its growth potential . It is anticipated that the district
will have a need for additional elementary schools by the time the district
reaches maturity. Currently the district only owns two elementary buildings and
leases one. It seems evident, therefore, that the inevitable "declining
enrollment syndrome" has been carefully considered and the district' s planning
will not result in excess facilities should the proposed elementary building be
approved by the voters in the fall of 1985.

RE: Group Health Insurance ( Informational )
DATE: March 28" 1985
There was an all employee meeting held on February 7, 1985 to
discuss the changes made in our health insurance coverage by
the company. The biggest change was increasing the out of pocket
maximum for the employee from $1, 000 to $1, 500. Many employees
did not like this change. Additionally, although the majority
of all employees voted last year to change to the $200 deductible
plan we are now under, a large majority of the police dept. did
not want to change last year and have been rather upset since
then. A second employee meeting was held on March 18, 1985
for further discussion and updating the cost information for-
switching
orswitching back to the $100 deductible plan. Under the $200
plan, the City contribution currently covers the premium ($193. 85)
while for the $100 plan the employee will pay $11 . 93 per month
out of a cost for family coverage of $216. 93.
A vote was taken of the employees with the result being 32 to
11 in favor of changing back to the $100 deductible plan. The
City has already established a contribution cap of $205 for
1985 for the non-union employees. The City notified Bankers
of the switch back to the $100 plan on 3/28/85 and Bankers backed
dated the change to 3/15/85 which the anniversary date of the
policy. Delaying the change into April would have made some
employees subject to the higher co-payment limit for a couple
of weeks and cost them more money and also involve more work
in keeping accounts straight and in determining payroll deductions.
Council did not take action when the switch was made last year
from the $100 to the $200 plan so it is presumed that action
is not required to switch back. Council members should please
call if there are questions.

MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Intern
RE: Amendment to Cable Franchise Ordinance and Proposed
Rate Increase (Informational)
DATE: March 28 , 1985
Introduction & Background
Zylstra-United has formally applied for an amendment to the
cable franchise ordinance. Approval -of the proposed amendment
would allow the- Cable Company to request subscriber rate increases
prior to the scheduled date of relief (December 29 , 1985 ) .
The Cable Company has also formally requested a rate increase
at this time.
On March 25 , 1985 the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory
Commission moved to recommend to City Council that the cable
rate freeze be extended until December 29 , 1986 . This action
would require an amendment to the cable franchise ordinance .
According to new federal legislation, after December 29 , 1986
municipalities will have no authority to regulate cable rates .
The Commission also moved to recommend to City Council that
Zylstra-United ' s request for a rate increase be approved.
These two issues (.rate increase and cable amendment) will be
presented to the City Council for action on April 16 , 1985 .
A separate public hearing will also be held at that time in
regard to each issue. If you should have any questions prior
to the April 16th meeting please feel free to call me at 445-3650.

Jeanne Andre Judy K. Hughes
HRA Director Recording Secretary
TO : Shakopee Housing and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Jeanne Andre, Executive Director
RE : Rental Rehabilitation Grants
DATE: March 29 , 1985
Introduction:
The HRA previously agreed to participate in a rental rehab
grant program available through the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency . The program has been continued , with some revisions ,
and the HRA must determine if it would like to continue its
participation .
Background :
Under this grant eligible building receive up to 50% of
their construction costs for projects of up to $10 ,000 per unit
in improvements . In the first phase of the program some of
the main criteria for eligibility included 1) buildings in lower
income neighborhoods ; 2) units rehabed should generally be 2
or more bedrooms in size ; and 3 ) only buildings with five or
more units are eligible . The first two criteria will still
be applied but MHFA is experimenting with a new alternative
to deal with the criteria on building size.
MHFA originally decided to apply the program only to larger
buildings due to administrative constraints . In that program
MHFA is in charge of all inspection functions and needs to be
traveling to the site at numerous stages in the project . This
degree of involvement could not reasonably occur for smaller
projects. However some cities , including Shakopee , expressed
the opinion that most of the older rental units in their jurisdiction
are in smaller buildings. Responding to this need , MHFA decided
to provide a new option in phase two of the program. They will
continue the program as in phase one for larger structures (over
five units ) but will allow smaller buildings to be eligible
if the local unit of government will take on the inspection
type functions.
It appears that the revised program could reasonably be
applied to Downtown structures. To determine whether the HRA
could reasonably take on the program with the added responsibilities ,
staff have explored a number of options.
1) Have City building officials undertake the inspection
functions . This option is not considered optional
because the building department is very busy at this
time . The officials are not familiar with HQS (Housing
Quality Standards) and other components of government
sponsored rehabilitation programs and it is probably
not cost efficient for them to take the time to become
familiar with these areas because there may be only
Page two
HRA Memo 3/29/85
one to five possible grant applications.
2) Contract with Scott County HRA to perform these functions .
This has been discussed with Don Levens , the new Executive
Director of that agency. He has expressed a willingness ,
at the staff level , to work with Shakopee on this
project . If the Shakopee HRA wants to pursue this
option , he will request approval from the Scott County
HRA Commissioners .
Alternatives :
The options available to the HRA include the following :
1) Not participate in the program.
2) Participate at the same level as in phase one . That
is , apply the program only to larger ( five units or
more) buildings with the state maintaining the inspection
functions .
3) Participate in tr,e program with local inspection of
smaller buildings with this function provided by the
city building officials.
4) Participate in tr.e program with local inspection of
smaller buildings with this function provided by the
Scott County HRA.
I recommend proceeding with the program with alternative
four. I think there are sone downtown residential units which
would be suitable for participation which contain five or less
units .
Administration of the program involves the following tasks :
1) Marketing
2) Determination of neighborhood eligibility
3) Property inspection to determine scope of project
4) Receipt and review of applications
a) review energy audit
b) review bids, look for minority contractors
c ) review matching funds
5 ) Selection of propo:;als to submit to MHFA
Page three
HRA 3/29/85
6) Execution of legal documents
7) Construction monitoring
8) Final inspection
a) compliance with energy standards
b) compliance with housing quality standards (HQS)
The County HRA staff have determined that they could undertake
tasks 3 , 4b , 7 and 8b. They estimate an average project (building )
would require 40 hours of labor and indicate that their recommended
hourly fee ( includes direct and indirect costs) would be $20 .
Mr . Levens indicated a willingness to establish a ceiling of
$900 per building for their fees .
The Shakopee HRA would still need to perform tasks 1 , 21
4a , 4c , 5 , 6 and 8a . Tasks 1 and 2 must be performed by the
City even under alternative 2 where MHFA is doing the inspection
work. It is estimated that the City portion of the tasks would
consume approximately 20 hours per building at an estimated
cost of $250 ( direct costs only) .
The MHFA program does not provide any funds for local admin-
istration. Therefore administrative functions must be paid
for locally , but can be recovered through application fees .
The HRA general fund is able to cover participation , but the
Commissioners may wish to have an administrative fee to cover
at least some of the costs. A fee covering all of the administrative
costs would be approximately $1200. Due to the smaller projects
anticipated for smaller buildings this large a fee may be prohib-
itive . As a middle ground the HRA may wish to establish a set
lower fee with an additional percentage charge for larger projects.
An example would be a $200 set fee plus 3% of all projects exceeding
$6500 .
Because this approach would probably mean some sort of
subsidy, the HRA may wish to limit the smaller , locally administered
projects to an identified redevelopment area such as downtown ,
and then perhaps only to commercial buildings. If the HRA wishes
to proceed on a cooperative basis with the County HRA and to
charge some sort of application fee , the HRA needs to_ .direct
staff to negotiate _these issues- MHFA--:has--a--very -_short lead --=----- -
time---in--implementing-this project-- and--needs-t6- -gain agreement -

away. Therefore Shakopee would need to agree to participate
in advance of negotiating the final details of local program
administration.

Request-ed Action
1) Direct staff to :inform the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency that Shakopee will participate in phase II
of its rental rehabilitation grant program.
2) Request the Scott County HRA to provide administrative
services for thi: program as discussed at the staff
level .
3) Direct staff to Establish appropriate fees and local
administrative guidelines as appropriate.

TO: Shakopee Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
FROM: Jeanne Andre , Executive Director
RE: Satisfaction of Mortgage for Lot 1, Block 3 ,
Macey Second Addition
DATE: April 2 , 1985
Introduction•
In the Fourth and Minnesota Neighborhood Revitalization Project
the HRA provided lots to lower-income families conditioned on those
families continuing to reside in the homes purchased for at least
five years. Owners who sold their home in less than five years
were required to repay a prorated portion of the lot value as estab-
lished at the time they purchased their home. The first sale in
this project has occurred, so that the repayment amount must be
established, and upon payment , a satisfaction of mortgage be provided
for the closing.
Background-
The origninal promissory note provided for a 20o credit for
each year of residency and an interest rate of 8% per annum on the
unpaid balance. The note also provided that the repayment would
only be required to the extent that the net gain on sale of the
property, less original cost, improvements and costs of acquisition
and sale, is at least equal to the established repayment amount.
(See attached copy of the promissory note ) .
Although the promissory note outlines the terms , application
of those terms is still subject to interpretation. Therefore I
would like direction from the HRA Commissioners in establishing the
required repayment for this case. Once the first case is handled I
presume it would provide president for any subsequent cases that come
up.
The facts are as follows : 1) The promissory note was executed
June 30 , 1981; 2 ) The original value of the land was established
at $7 , 500 ; 3 ) The proposed closing for the new sale is April 26 , 1985 ;
4 ) The owner will have owned the lot 3 complete years and 9 additional
months as of March 31 , 1985 , the last complete month before the closing
( 45 months total ) .
The issues before the HRA are as follows :
1 ) The promissory note clearly states that the 20o credit is
to be provided at the end of each year of residence , requiring full
years of residence to secure the credit. In this case this stipulation
will be expensive for the owner because they are only three months
short of the fourth complete year. The realtor representing the owner
has therefore requested that the credit be provided for each completed
month of residence.
2 ) The promissory note establishes an 8% per annum interest
charge , but this rate could be applied for only the three completed
years or the full 45 months since closing. The interest could also
be calculated on the basis o:: simple or compounded values and com-
pounding could occur on an annual or monthly basis. The attached
chart shows the dollar valise of various of these options. Gregg
Voxland has stated that for developers agreements he has been
advised by the City Attorney not to compound interest (because the
agreement is silent on the issue of simple or compound interest ) and
he charges interest for each day the amount is outstanding. There is
no option exactly like this , but the closest is for 45 months with
simple application of the interest rate.
I do not have complete information on all of the acquisition
and sales costs or of the capital improvements the owner has made
to the property so I cannot provide the exact capital gain figures .
In general it appears that the gain would be adequate to cover what-
ever the HRA establishes for the repayment because the owner purchased
the house for approximately $ 39 , 000 and is selling it for $59 , 000 .
However the HRA should remair. open to petition by the owner to find
that the capital gain does nct cover the established repayment.
The HRA can make a determination on this issue at its April 2nd
meeting or defer a decision until the proposed April 16th meeting.
Requested Action:
Upon satisfaction of $ owed for Lot 1, Block 3 ,
Macey Second Addition, authorize appropriate HRA officials to execute
and deliver Satisfaction of Its Mortgage to Elizabeth Meyer (Rosentreter )
for said property.

ing forms, they have billed the City for reimbursement of the costs. General
discussion on the setbacks in that area followed. Mr. Rod Krass, Assistant City
Attorney, offered his legal opinion that the City is not obligated to reimburse
the builder based on the Minnesota Supreme Court decision Anderson vs. City of
Minneapolis. Staff admitted that an error had been made on the part of the City
in this case. Cncl. Colligan stated that because the City was at fault and the
setbacks in the area are not consistent, Mr. Laurent should be reimbursed.
Cncl. Vierling noted that the City did suggest to Mr. Laurent that he could
request a variance from the City.
Leroux/Colligan moved that the City reimburse Laurent Builders in the amount
of $1,350.00 for damages caused by inconsistent application of setbacks.

agreement with Barton Aschman to provide consulting services for the conceptual
geometric design of the Trunk Highway 169/101 junction/bridge improvements at

Cncl. Lebens felt that hiring a consultant should be tabled pending federal
confirmation of project eligibility, which should be the end of March and also
for response to the Small Cities Block Grant application, which should be the
end of May.
Cncl. Leroux felt that hiring a consultant to provide analysis concerning final
geometrics and identification of future responsibilities of the City as well as
MnDot must be done to keep the ball rolling.

people decide what they want.

Downtown Committee.
Cncl. Leroux called the question, but Mayor Reinke would not accept the call
without further discussion.
Cncl. Colligan pointed out that City staff are not experts in traffic flow,
etc. to design the junction/bridge improvements.
Mayor Reinke felt waiting for City Council selection of a consulting engineer
would give the Council and MnDOT more latitude to work together for the best
program.
Mayor Reinke felt that tabling the hiring of a consultant for a few weeks
until project eligibility is confirmed would not significantly impede its
progress.
The Community Development Director noted that the Downtown Committee felt
time was of the essence.
Cncl. Vierling stated that the Downtown Committee is- taking-the lead on--this

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
ADJ. REG. SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA MARCH 19, 1985
Mayor Reinke called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with Cncl. Vierling,
Wampach, Lebens, Leroux and Colligan present. Also present were John K.
Anderson, City Admr. ; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk; Judith Simac, City Planner;
H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer and Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney.
Liaison reports were given by Councilpersons.
Discussion ensued regarding the role of a liaison to a committee. Consensus
was to direct staff to schedule a discussion topic regarding the role of a
liaison in the future.
Mayor Reinke asked if there was anyone present who wished to address the
Council on any item not on the agenda, and there was no response.
Leroux/Vierling moved for City Council support of the re-nomination of Mayor
Reinke to the AMM Board of Directors. Motion carried unanimously.
Leroux/Lebens moved to place on file the letter from Valleyfair dated March
18, 1985 regarding a waterslide. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Planner gave the background regarding the appeal by Les Koehnen
from the decision of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals regarding a storage
area for impounded vehicles. She explained it was her decision, upheld by
the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, that the intended use of this property
for the storage of impounded vehicles would be an intensification of use
which is expressly prohibited by a non-conforming use.
Mr. Koehnen stated the fenced in area was originally put in for the storage
of cars, and when he bought the property he was not aware that it had been
rezoned and was a non-conforming use. He said it was originally used for a
towing service, and he doesn't think he would be intensifying its use. The
contract with the City for the impounding of vehicles requires space for 10-15
cars, and this storage area probably holds 35 cars. He wouldn't object to a
limitation of 15 cars.
The City Planner added that in the last 112 years there was rarely even one
car in the fenced in area, and behind the building were 2-3 cars along with
auto parts. At the present time it is not used as a towing business. Mr.
Koehnen added that he plans to clean up the area and keep it neat; it wouldn't
be a junkyard.
Mayor Reinke asked if there were any comments from the audience, and there
was no reply.
Mr. Koehnen confirmed the existence of an 8 foot high chain link fence. He
said the impounded cars are usually moved out within a few days because the
insurance companies don't like to pay the storage fee. He explained he would
only have to drive by one apartment building on Prairie Street, as it is vacant
to the west and south.

ing the outcome of the zoning matter. The bid will be awarded by City Council

Discussion ensued regarding the responsibility for moving a water main in
the right-of-way if the right-of-way is not for the benefit of the plat.
The City Admr. stated it was the opinion of the Ass't City Attorney that this
additional 17 feet dedication for right-of-way is not an appropriate requirement
for this plat. The City Engineer said the request for the right-of-way came
from the County Engineer. Mr. Clay stated he is not objecting to the dedica-
tion of the 17 feet, he is just objecting to the method of getting it.
Leroux/Wampach moved to delete condition No. 4 for the approval of the Pre-
liminary Plat of Della's 1st Addition, which requires the dedication of an
additional 17 feet of right-of-way along CR16. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Planner added to Condition No. 5 "including no parking signs."

subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of the Title Opinion by the City Attorney.
2. A variance is hereby granted from the requirement to provide twenty
(20) feet of screening where Austin Circle abuts Lots 16, 17, Block

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
ADJ. REG. SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA MARCH 20, 1985
Mayor Reinke called the meeting to order at 8:00 p.m. with Cncl. Vierling,
Wampach, Colligan, Leroux and Lebens present. Also present were John K.
Anderson, City Admr. and H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer.
The City Admr. explained that the special assessment abatements of the type in
question do not require a resolution as requested at the last meeting, and
therefore City .Council action can be taken tonight.
Vierling/Leroux moved to abate the pay 1985 special assessments and remain-
ing balances for parcels 27-001229-0 and 27-001456-0 because of prior payment.
Roll Call: Ayes; Unanimous Noes; None Motion carried.
The City Admr. informed Councilmembers of the receipt of a Notice of Intent
for Emergency Opening for the main outlet of the Prior Lake/Spring Lake
Watershed District overflow. The City Engineer inspected it today and re-
ports there are still uncompleted portions of original construction and un-
completed repair from last year. He will be making a written report later,
detailing the options and best course of action for the City.
Discussion ensued regarding the establishment of a storm sewer assessment
policy in connection with the Holmes Street Basin Laterals. The City Engineer
proceeded to recapitulate his recommendations on surface water management.
He stated the City needs to make a decision or re-affirm whether it wants to
undertake a program to meet the standards established for reconstruction or
modify the design criteria. The ordinance that adopted the design criteria
specifies those rules applied for construction and reconstruction of drainage
improvements. The current assessment policy has been found to be not prac-
tical, because benefit cannot be proven to the extent of 50% of the project costs
which are assessed. Therefore, in order to construct or reconstruct any drain-
age system, the City has to change the amount of special benefit assigned to pro-
perty owners. The report has outlined six alternates for consideration. As long
as the City can special levy for the matching costs, there isn't a problem.
Right now the City has the potential for 1.5 million dollars in matching funds
whether or not anything is done with the assessment policy. The City Engineer
stated the Holmes Street Basin Laterals is a project that must go, and there
just needs to be some reasonable method of assessment and funding the City's
matching cost. He then went over some of the pros and cons .of the various
alternates.
The City Engineer also asked for a determination of what is a lateral and
what is a trunk. He suggested a definition could be based on the diameter
of the pipe, and if this was used he would recommend 21" or larger would be
considered a trunk. Another simple way to diferentiate would be to state
that all catch basin leads are laterals and everything else is a trunk.
The City Admr. stated there is an estimated cost of $400,000 for the four
rural projects, which would cost the City $50,000 in a levy which could be
put in place when the current levies fall off. Then as the levies end, the
City can put new storm sewer levies in their place without-increasing-taxes.

Discussion followed regarding the benefits of using tax increment funding.
The City Engineer stated that having storm sewer services completed very clearly
stimulates development. The City Admr. suggested selecting an assessment
policy most agreeable to the City Council and then holding a public hearing
and putting the idea to the public. The implementation can take place piece
by piece. A policy needs to be put in place when a need triggers the con-
struction of a storm sewer.
Cncl. Lebens pointed out there were no objections to the assessment when it
was 20%, but only after residents were assessed 50%. She said people under-
stand they have to pay something towards the improvements. She expressed
her opinion that whatever policy the City adopts has to be explained very
clearly and _simply so the public can-understand _it.
The City Engineer said it is important to remember that as long as the
special benefit is at least 20%, the ablility to special levy is preserved
for any part that needs it. Therefore, the 25%/75% split is less risky by
leaving a margin for error in the event someone challenges the assessment.
The use of tax increment funding was discussed further.
Consensus was to narrow down the alternatives for the assessment policy as
follows:
1. Special assessment, 25%; Ad Valorum, 75%
2. Special assessment, 25%; Ad Valorum, 25%; User fee, 50%
3. Special assessment, 20%; Ad Valorum, 20%; User fee, 40%; TIF, 20%
Consensus was to agree with the credit proposal presented in the bar graph in
the memo dated March 1, 1985 from the City Engineer
Consensus was to get comparison information from other cities regarding the
definition of laterals and trunks.
Consensus was to leave open the alternative of Council-initiated special
improvement projects.
Consensus was to not require only petition-initiated storm sewer improvements.
Consensus was to leave open the option to hold a referendum to decide on the
level of service and assessments for the service.
Consensus was the existing design criteria is necessary for storm sewer service.
Staff was instructed to bring back clear information regarding how each type
of zoning would be affected by the different policies.
Consensus was to agree to another alternative presented by the City Admr.
_ which would-..be.Special--Assessment,--25%, -User--fee,-- 50%-and--a choice-.Of-
Valorum, 25% or TIF, 25%.
Colligan/Vierling moved to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting
adjourned at 10:13 p.m.

TO: Metropolitan Managers, Police Chiefs, Fire Chief sy' 1TY OF
FROM: Joel Jagik, Legislative Counsel
RE: Time-Distance Requirements in the Metropolitan Area
As you know, the 1984 legislature enacted a law which prohibits all
cities in the metropolitan area from enacting reasonable area or response time
residency requirements. The League of Minnesota Cities and the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities have lobbied the 1985 legislature for a law which
would allow cities to establish reasonable time-distance requirements. To
this point, we have been unsuccessful, primarily because the legislators do
not view the matter as a public safety problem. A bill on this issue,
supported by LMC and AMM, was heard and tabled by the Senate Local and Urban
Government Committee. A suggested amendment, which LMC and AMM opposed, would
allow time-distance requirements to be established, but, if the affected
employees are unionized, only through a collective bargaining agreement.
It is imperative that all concerned city officials contact their
legislators, particularly Senators on the Senate Local and Urban Government
Committee, as soon as possible and convince them of the need for this
legislation now. Point out actual and potential problems under the current
law and the need for a change. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts this
year, we may never have a chance again due to the likelihood that there will
not be a Legislative session in 1986. By 1987, too many employees could have
relocated to ever try to establish time-distance requirements (even a bill
passed this year would likely include a grandfather provision for employees
who moved between August 1, 1984 and the enactment date of any new
legislation) .

RE: Need for Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB)
Financing - City of Hutchinson
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The City of Hutchinson will be exceeding its IRB entitlement. Specifically, the
City of Hutchinson has an allocation of $2,512,000, and we are already exceeding
this figure by $163,000; based on "inducement" resolutions already approved and
another scheduled for April 23, 1985.
The City of Hutchinson requests consideration by the Shakopee City Council
for assistance in utilizing a portion of your community's entitlement. The
City appears to have an immediate need for $163,000, plus an additional
$1,200,000 within the next couple months for another anticipated project.
In terms of priorities to any other communities requesting similar allotment
throughout the state, please place the City of Hutchinson at the top of your list.
We would be very grateful if you would inform your City Council of this request,
therefore providing the opportunity for discussion.
The Hutchinson City Council is anticipated to vote on the IRB inducement resolution
on April 23, 1985, which would push the city over the limit by $163,000. Could
you please write or contact me by phone (612) 587-5151 before April 23, 1985,
regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

Dear Mr. Anderson,
I am writing to request five additional days for the Golden Glove
Boxing program.
At the beginning of this Golden Glove season I was allotted 100 hours
by the city council . However, our club was so successful this year, we attended
several tournaments including the State ABF Tournament in Marshalltown, Iowa,
The Silver Glove National Tournament in Peoria, Illinois, and The National
Golden Gloves Weeklong Tournament in Little Rock, Arkansas.
These tournaments and the time needed to prepare the club for them quickly
used up the 100 hours and many of my off duty days. This season I will have
spent approximately 350 hours of my personal off duty hours with the club.
I am requesting these five additional days for the purpose of two additional
tournaments, one of which our club attended March 24 through March 29. This
tournament required three days. The remaining two days will be used when our club
represents Shakopee at the upcoming Junior Olympics.
Sincerely,

RE: Application for $2,000 ,000 IR Bonds
Bemidji Super 8 Partnership
DATE: March 28, 1985
Introdu -r i on
Previous Council action set a public hearing for April 2nd at
7: 00 p.m. to consider an application by Bemidji Super 8 Partnership
for $2,000,000 commercial development revenue bonds to acquire ,
construct and install an approximately 100 unit motel , including
meeting rooms and exercise facilities on property located at
the NE corner of Marschall Road and C. R. 16 .
Background
According to the application submitted February 25 , 1985 , this
business will provide 20 jobs. The bond will be privately placed
with a financial institution, secured by mortgage and/or guarantees.
The bond funds will be applied toward payment of costs estimated
as follows:
Acquisition of land: $ 3059000
New construction: 1 ,500 ,000
Demolition and site preparation : 752000
Acquisition of Equipment:
Movable (limited to 10% of proceeds) 75 ,000
Other
Installation
Fees: Architectural , engineering ,
inspection, fiscal , legal
administration, or printing : 180 ,000
Construction Interest : 80 ,000
Initial bond Reserve :
Contingencies: 25 ,000
Other: (Franchise Fees) 15 ,000
Total $2,255 ,000
The plans submitted by the applicant for industrial revenue
bond plan review are insufficient to permit staff to- make- recom-
mendations and comments on the project. The Building Inspector
needs to know the type of construction; the City Engineer needs
a drainage report , which is in accordance with the final plat
approval ; the City Planner needs detailed site plan information
as well as a final plat application for Planning Commission
approval. Because of staff' s inability to make recommendations
based on incomplete information ; the City Administrator, City
Clerk , City Engineer and City Planner are recommending that
the public hearing be opened , presentation by applicant and
comments from public be heard , and the public hearing be continued
to May 7th at which time proper information is expected to have
been submitted and staff review taken place.
Alternatives
a. Hold hearing and adopt resolution giving preliminary approval
with separate motion placing conditions on issuance of
building permit.
b. Hold hearing and delay adoption of resolution giving preliminary
approval until next Council meeting.
C. Hold hearing and continue hearing to May 7th and adopt
resolution giving preliminary approval on May 21st , if
everything is in order.
d. Hold hearing and continue hearing to May 7th and adopt
resolution giving preliminary approval on same day , May
7th.
e. Hold hearing and deny applic.ation.
f. Hold hearing and continue hearing to May 7th , and deny
application.
Recommendation
Alternative c. is recommended by staff because it is consistent
with current policy and practice . Current policy for review
of commercial development bond applications, adopted November
8 , 1978 , as amended , states that , "The application cannot be
considered by the City Council until the City Council finds
that the project is in accordance with the existing comprehensive
planning , zoning , platting and building regulations. " To date
the final plat application has not been filed and the conditional
use permit application is not complete. It has also been Council
policy to adopt the resolution giving preliminary approval at
a Council meeting following the close of the public hearing.
Delaying adoption of the resolution giving preliminary approval
until May 21st is timely because Council will also be considering
final plat approval on May 21st , if everything progresses on
schedule.
Action Recommended -
1 . Open Public Hearing - and hear presentation by applicant
and receive comments by audience .
2 . Continue public hearing to May 7th at 8 : 00 p.m.

RE : Canterbury Square and Super 8 Motel
DATE : March 29 , 1985
The attached information on Canterbury Square and Super 8 Motel
was received at city hall on March 29th at 2 :30 p .m. and has not been

CANTERBURY SQUARE
Lot 1
CENTURY PLAZA SQUARE
Location and Trade Area
Let us invite you to step with confidence into the world of Shakopee ,
Minnesota and the state of Minnesota' s 90 million dollar investment
in the Canterbury towns racetrack.
B & B' s project, called Canterbury Square , is located 1. 3 miles
west of the South Track enterance at the intersection of County
Rd. #16 and #17. The multi-million dollar amusement park, known
as Valley Fair, is roughly 1 mile east of our center. With easy
access from Hwy. 169 , Canterbury Square is on a main artery for
local and racetrack attendees.
Canterbury Square' s primary customer is the Canterbury towns and
Valley Fair ' s clients, as well as local residents, Minnesota Twins
and Vikings fans and travelers from Southern Minnesota.
In addition there is a hidden clientel that has massive potential;
a) the racetrack employees; b) related business travelers having
an association with the track. This market can only indicate that
there will be a large potential market for the center to expand as
the racetrack matures .
Development Concept
The 30 , 000 sq. ft. center will have an anchor tennant in a food
cafeteria type restaurant of 10 , 000 sq. ,ft. Our intent is to
compliment this draw with the following types of tennants :
1. Laundry Mat/Cleaners
2 . Travel Agency
3 . Jewelry Store
4 . Western Wear & Traditional Clothing
5 . Saddle/Leather Repair
6 . Barber Shop
7 . Gift Shop/Crafts Consignment
8 . Video Arcade
9 . Children/Teenage Store
The center and the adjacent development will be tastefully co-ordinated
by tying together the Old English of the Super 8 Motel architecture
and the track theme.
In addition, Canterbury Square will use an extensive lighting system
to attract the evening clientel.
�- Development Potential
The population growth rate of Shakopee indicates that the city
will experience significant expansion, not only because of the
tourist attractions in the area, but also the surrounding industrial
area should bring a wave of people in search of employment opporunities.
The dimension of this growth and potential for our center "Canterbury
Square" , becomes even more extensive when all the factors are taken
into account for new development evolving around the Shakopee area.
The Environmental Impact Statement done for the Shakopee Racetrack
saw a need for one fuel station, one family type restaurant, one
large motel and a shopping center. The development, as proposed
for the corner of County Roads 16 and 17 , provides for all the
service needs created by the track.
Developers
B & B
B & B Enterprises of Minneapolis, a Minnesota corporation, is a
premier company in a relatively old industry called Real Estate
Development. B & B ' s main business provides a wide range of
services from consulting, site acquisitions and selection through
a full turn-key service of planning, financing, obtaining proper
zoning, to building and completion of a particular project package.
We offer a number of inventoried real estate sites from tax shelters ,
business opportunities , limited partnership farm operations to
whatever investment need a client desires .
Whatever a client chooses, B & B will package and virtually eliminate
the headache and hassel of putting together your real estate invest-
ment.
Canterbury Square, a 26 , 000 square foot strip center is located in
Shakopee, Minnesota, it will be owned and operated by B & B. We
will use our leasing and development expertise to develop our own
project. We choose to own this center because of the tremendous
investment potential that this area will generate.
The company of B & B is owned by Beverly Ahearn and Leland Jonason.
Beverly is CEO of her own company, Commercial Real Estate Associates,
which specialized in development, sales and leasing of retail/
commercial properties , Leland Johason, a private investor, has
operated and ran his own business successfully until its sale and
has been involved in rental real estate in Colorado and Minnesota.
They joined forces to combine their talents and to place emphasis
on equity ownership of strip centers .

CENTURY PLAZA SQUARE
BEMIDJI SUPER 8 PARTNERSHIP -
A GENERAL PARTNERSHIP
The Bemidji Super 8 Partnership was formed in 1980 for the
purpose of developing a number of Super 8 motels in the
upper midwest.
There are two general partners : William G. Lindsay and
Murray R. Williamson .
William G. Lindsay, who resides in Edina , MN , is a cardiac ,
thoracic vascular surgeon who practices and owns one third
( 1/3] interest in Cardiac Surgical Associates , P .A.
Murray R. Williamson , who also resides in Edina , MN, is a
real estate developer involved in income producing
properties. He is the managing partner of the general
partnership.
The first property developed by this partnership is the
seventy (70] unit Super 8 Motel in Bemidji , MN. Since its
first full year of operation in 1982 , yearly room revenues
have steadily increased from $253 , 361 in 1982 to $441, 682
in 1984 . The 1985 revenues are projected to be $491,000 .
The Bemidji property has been consistantly rated as "super
excellent" in a chain of over two hundred and fifty ( 250]
Super 8 Motel properties . The property has been cited in
Bemidji for good management, aesthetically pleasing
appearance, and positive community involvement.
In addition to the seventy (70] unit motel property, the
partnership has developed in Bemidji a two hundred ( 200]
seat restaurant building and an eighty (80] unit
mini-storage complex .
In January 1985 , the partnership was granted the Super 8
franchise rights for Shakopee . It is proceeding with a plan
to develope a lodging property that will have a positive
impact on the fine community of Shakopee .
THE SUPER 8 FAMILY OF MOTELS
Two Aberdeen, South Dakota residents began construction of
the first Super 8 in 1974 , they built more than a motel .
Attorney Dennis A. Brown and businessman Ronald J. Rivett
laid down the foundations of a fast--growing, quality conscious ,
highly successful chain of motels.
By 1976 there were 13 Super 8 Motels up and running in four
states. A year later there were 33 motels in seven states.
By the end of 1983 , more than 180 Super 8 ' s were spread across
the United States and Canada with a new one opening its doors
every 8 days. Forecasts for 1984 estimated a Super 8 opening
every 6 days.
Super 8 ' s proven combination of careful planning, good exper-
ience, professional assistance, solid marketing and sound
management back-up have created a consistently successful
motel business.

BENEFITS OF A SUPER 8 MOTEL
One important reason for the unprecedented success of Super
8 franchises is that travelers can always count on what they ' ll
find at a Super 8 .
On one hand, we have the instant recognition of a Super 8 Motel,
part of America' s finest lodging chain. Our attractive exterior
design tells the traveler tonight' s stay at our Super 8 will be
just as pleasant and relaxing as last night' s stay at another
Super 8 . Travelers soon develop a preference for Super 8 and
consciously look for that familiar Super 8 signage and appear-
ance. On the other hand, our Super 8 will have its own person-
ality of good taste reflected in its decor, with free standing
pylon signage. ,..
Traveling is expensive. For the commercial traveler, an over-
priced, overbooked motel makes a tough job even tougher. For
the traveling family, expensive lodging could cut short a long
awaited vacation.
The entire concept of Super 8 is directed at those needs .
Travelers know that a Super 8 will meet their standards for
comfort and cleanliness.
The day we open the doors of our Super 8 for business , we ' ll
have time tested marketing strategy that will open our motel
successfully and keep it running competitively in the market-
place for years to come.
We have a central advertising fund we and other Super 8 owners
support. There' s "Superline. " "Superline, " our central reser-
vations system, offers WATS line convenience to guests and
travel agents. And there ' s the Super 8 national directory that
lists and shows the location, address and rates of every Super
8 lodge and motel.
In addition, Super 8 advertises in trade and travel publications ,
electronic media, billboards and more.
Our VIP Club for commercial travelers offers our regular guests
guaranteed reservations and check cashing privileges. And our
Commercial Travelers Club lets them stay nine nights and receive
the tenth night free. Super 8 was one of the first chains to
pay commissions to travel agents . And we find that this policy
brings us business that other chains can' t get.
`, All of these programs and materials are proven winners.
SUPERLINE
When it comes to convenience, more and more people are coming
to Super 8 . Because of "Superline" , our toll-free telephone
reservations system can book rooms at our Super 8 for people
calling from all over the country.
Commercial travelers frequently use "Superline" to set up a
whole week' s worth of lodging. And the traveling family can
plan an entire vacation with just one "Superline" call.
r'
TRAINING FOR OUR SUPER 8
We will provide our people with thorough training that covers
every aspect of motel operations.
For two solid weeks, we will work closely with trainees in our
training school. The first week is classroom instruction. The
second is on-the-job training in a Super 8 . We take our people
through marketing, public relations, law, insurance, personnel
management and the day-to-day tasks involved in running a suc-
cessful lodging operation.
This combination of concentrated classroom studv and practical
experience means our Super 8 will be staffed and managed by real
professionals.
Murray Williamson & Wm. Lindsay, partners, are sensitive to
the desires of the community and are going to great lengths
to accommodate this. They are currently evaluating the
feasibility of a swimming pool in addition to the sauna and
whirlpool that will be included. There also will be meeting
rooms and suites. There are current negotiations to include
a restaurant from a substantial national chain that will add
another dimension to this site.
The following information will show you what our plans include:
DESIGN
The design of the motel shall comply with current state , federal
and local building codes and ordinances.
In general , the materials and design elements selected are to
convey a feeling of warmth and integrity.
EXTERIOR BUILDING
All exterior wall surfaces visible from public ways shall be
faced with approved face brick, stone, architectural concrete
cast in place, or precast panel , or an equivalent.
Metal canapies and accent elements may be used where they
compliment the general design and intended usage of the building.
It is also suggested that the masonary mortar be a matching
color to the mortar units . Any exterior wood surfacing used
for accent areas or faces shall be cedar or redwood, sealed
or stained to preserve the natural color.
Metal Trim, Fascia, Windowframes and Doorframes - All metal
fascia trim and doorframes will be painted or anodized.
LIGHTING
Exterior parking light fixtures will be on attractive poles
to go with the decor. Finish on the poles and luminaire are
to be co-ordinated. Lamps may be high pressure sodium.
An acceptable fixture for building lighting would be the "Memphis"
Series as manufactured by J.H. Spaulding Company, with the finish
to be "Black Coffee" . Lamps may be high pressure sodium.
Area and walkway lighting may be "Miniature" Series as manuf-
actured by J.H. Spaulding Company, either Model Number 8320 or
8317 .
SIGNAGE
Signs will conform to the signage criteria required. They
will be free-standing, pylon, made of double-faced internally
illuminated. Face material shall be lexan and be back painted
to show individual letters of logo in an aluminum frame.
Sign may be supported on an aluminum post.
LANDSCAPING
The intent of the landscaping is to provide an attractive
appearance around the entire site. In general, all areas
not used for building, parking, driveways, or sidewalks shall
be either sodded or woodchip mulch.
The areas having frontage on the public roads shall provide
shade trees. The species of trees may be selected from the
list below. As a minimum requirement, there shall be an
equivalent of one tree per 50 feet of frontage, with a minimum
size.of 2� inch caliper (balled and burlapped) . The shade
trees listed below shall also be provided throughout the
internal landscaped areas of the site, based on the approved
landscape plan.
Shade trees are as follows :
1. Marshall Seedless Ash (Fraxinus Pennsylvanica Lanceolata
Marshall)
2 . Sugar Maple (Acer Saccharinum) (not on boulevard spaces)
3 . Norway Emerald Queen Maple (Acer Platanoides Emerald Queen)
4 . Imperial Locust (Gleditsia Tricanthos Imperial)
5 . Pin Oak (Quercus Palustris) (not on boulevard spaces)
6 . Hackberry (Celtis Occidentalis)
Shrubs and low plantings are to be provided throughout to
round out the landscaping planting. Recommended species are
as follows :
1. Honeysuckle Emerald Mound (Lonicera Xylosteum Nana)
2 . Japanese Redleaf Barbery (Berberis Thunbergi Atropurpurea)
3 . Japanese Greenleaf Barbery (Berberis Thunbergi)
4 . Cherry, Purpleleaf Sand (Prunus X Cistema)
5 . Viburnum, Compact American Cranberry Bush (Viburum Trilobum)
6 . Sumac, Smooth (Rhus Glabra)
7 . Juniper, Andorra (Juniperus Horizontalis Plumosa)
8 . Juniper, Webber (Juniperus Horizontalis Webber)
9 . Japanese Spreading Yew (Taxus Caspidata)
10 . Jackman Potentilla (Potentius Freucticosa)
It shall be required that there be a two foot high separation
between parking areas and all public streets. This may be
accomplished by a combination of berming, planting, and land-
scape structures. A screening that provides a variety of
elements is preferable to a simple continuous two foot berm
around the property.
C�
The use of other landscape elements such as structures, planters,
boulders, and other design elements may be used.
It is important to maintain clear visual lines at all points of an
intersection, between vehicles and other vehicles, as well as vehicles
and pedestrians.
WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS
All waste receptacles, mechanical units, transformers and gas meters
are to be attractively screened or concealed.
SETBACKS
In general, the building setback from all the outside property
will meet the codes. Of this setback, a portion may go for green
space.
MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Intern
RE: Character Generator Variance
DATE: March 28, 1985
Introduction
Zylstra-United has applied for a variance from the franchise
ordinance. Approval of the variance as submitted would : ( 1 )
locate one character generator at the public access studio as
opposed to Shakopee Community Services , ( 2) locate a second
character generator at the Shakopee Head End as compared to
Shakopee Community Services , ( 3 ) provide different character
generator equipment to that which was originally proposed in
the franchise ordinance , ( 4 ) temporarily limit the number of
institutions to receive character generator equipment to three
as opposed to the five originally proposed , and (5) reduce the
number of transmission channels to one as opposed to the two
originally proposed .
Background
On August 7 , 1981 the Shakopee City Council approved Resolution
No. 2288. The intent of this resolution was to delegate more
responsibilities to the Cable Commission in regard to cable
related subject matter , i . e. subscriber complaints , variance
requests , etc . The appropriate amending ordinance (No. 1614) ,
which is on this evening ' s agenda becomes effective when it
has been approved by the City Council and it appears in the
official City newspaper. Therefore, City Council needs to act
on the variance request submitted by Zylstra-United .
In the variance proposal submitted by Zylstra-United (see attachment
No. 1 ) Mr. John Suranyi has attempted to explain what was originally
proposed in the franchise ordinance as he understands it. The
variance also discusses what he is currently proposing for our
system. Please note that in the proposal Mr. Suranyi addresses
two systems, System I and System II. System I was originally
proposed and designed to accommodate Shakopee Community Services
with a character generator for their local community bulletin
board (Channel 3) . System II was proposed and designed to accom-
modate four chosen local institutions with access to transmit
and broadcast character generated messages via telephone lines
on channels 10 and 12.
To give the City Council a better idea of where we have been
on this issue and where we are going , staff has developed a
chart which should clear up any misunderstandings . (See attachment
No. 2 . ) The chart specifically describes the equipment that
was originally proposed in regard to System I and System II .
The chart also reveals what equipment Zylstra-United purchased ,
what was proposed in Variance No. 3 ( approved by City Council
on 10/2/ 814 ) and what is currently being proposed in Variance
No. 4 .
During the week of March 18 , 1985 , st,aff conducted a survey
of those institutions which were to receive access to a character
generator. The survey revealed that three institutions ( Shakopee
Community Services, Shakopee Public Schools, and Shakopee Area
Catholic Schools) were still interested in being directly connected
to a character generator . The Shakopee Public Library has stated
that they do not have a need to have their own remote keyboard
to access the character generator. __However , they- would like
- - -to have. their messages g generated by some other- institution.
Mr. Suranyi has stated that the Public Library was welcome to
have their messages generated at the public access studio.
On March 25 , 1985 the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory
Commission met to consieer the variance proposal submitted by
Zylstra-United. :- At that time staff submitted a list of assumptions
in regard to Variance No. 4. ( See attachment No . 3 . ) At the
Cable Commission meeting Zylstra-United Manager John Suranyi
stated that due to the financial condition of the Company he
was not in favor of providing all the equipment as listed in
Assumption No. 8 of attachment No. 3 . Mr. Suranyi further argued
that because the equipment he is proposing exceeds the cost
that was originally proposed in the franchise ordinance , he
felt that the Company had fulfilled its obligation. After further
discussion, Commission Members agreed that the equipment listed
in Assumption No . 8 of attachment No . 3 should be reduced to
one remote keyboard, one 12 inch color TV monitor, and one originate
modem. The Commission also recommended several other assumptions
to be added to the list. An updated list of the City assumptions
in regard to Variance No. 4 as understood by the Cable Communications
Advisory Commission and City staff appear in attachment No. 4 .
Alternatives
1 . Recind Variance No. 3 in its entirety and approve Variance
No. 4 as submitted by Zylstra-United conditioned upon the
receipt of a letter from the Zylstra-United System Manager
stating that they are in full agreement with the City of

SHAKOPEE CABLE COMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY BOARD
Re: CHARACTER GENERATOR VARIANCE
Enclosed is the application for variance regarding_the. character-_generator__.- _
system as requested by Barry Stock. Any additional information should be
listed in my previously submitted proposal (3/15/85).
My intentions of the variance is in the design of the character generator
system itself and not the equipment. I am requesting that only one channel
be used for character generator messages ratter than two as proposed in the
original proforma. Also the amount of remote keyboards be reduced to three
which would be placed at locations chosen by the commission.
The only equipment not shown on the proposal would be the three color
monitors which would accompany the keyboards. My understanding is that
these monitors are available at an estimated price of $300 each. So, the
projected capital expenditure would be increased by the amount of $1,200.
Since attending the North Central Cable Convention in Minneapolis, it has
come to my attention that Video Data Systems, Inc. (VDS) who produces the
proposed Micro System I has incurred financial problems and has file under
Chapter 11. After talking with my VDS representitive, I have determined it
would be best to seek additional bids on character generator equipment so
that we may obtain the best state of the art equipment on the market with
the availability of options for future expansion. VDS will still be
considered but the financial security of the company looks rather dim.
With the assurance that the proposed designed character generator system
be installed with equipment of better or equivalent value than the original
proforma,- Zylstra-United would believe that they will have fulfilled their
financial obligation as listed in the ordinance.
Taking into consideration my technical background, the past negotiations by
previous management, and Zylstra-United's current financial situation, I
feel my recommendation was made in good faith and should be given careful
consideration. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Respectfully,

Subject: Character Generator System
Since our discussion at the previous commission meeting, February 25, 1985, I
have researched and evaluated the character generator situation and determined my
recommendation. In due time I feel we can reach a comparable agreement and
resolve the matter.
To minimize any questions or confusion I will include all available information
on Zylstra-United's (Z/U) proposal and the Shakopee Franchise Ordinance. Attach-
ment I covers an explanation of the character generator operation, the equipment
proposed and the access channels to be allocated.
While reviewing the material I noticed and corrected a few typographical errors
which seemed to make the -information more understandable. My interpretation is
that two seperate character generator systems were proposed. Attachment II
explains my interpretation of the design according to the initial proforma.
System I was proposed and designed to accomodate the Shakopee Community Services
with a character generator for the local Community Bulletin Board (Channel 3).
Transmission, recieve, and redistribution of messages was proposed and designed
to operate via the cable television system. Equipment of better or equivalent
value was installed as proposed with one exception; the remote keyboard was
located at the Shakopee Cable Television business office (Public Access Studio).
It seems that the cable television office is the ideal location for Community
Bulletin Board messages to be recieved and broadcast over the system.
System II was proposed and designed to accomodate four chosen local institutions
with access to transmit and broadcast character generated messages via telephone
lines. The locations chosen were the University of Minnesota, the Community.
Library, the Senior High School, and the local Catholic School. The plan was to
offer remote- keyboards to these locationswith--access--to-the--main=-unit '(headend)
_ —' —=-- -
-_-via-telephone lines '-Since the system was never completed, the main objective is
for Z/U to design and install a character generator system that would be economi-
cally feasible for the system and fulfill the needs of the community.
To complete the character generator system Zylstra-United is recommending the
installation of a Micro System I which would be located at the Shakopee headend
and accessible via telephone lines by three remote keyboards. A design of the
recommended system along with a price estimate is shown on Attachment III.
123 West 3rd Street P.O. Box 146 Chaska, MN 55318 612/448-3831
At the present time Z/U believes that one channel (channel 10 or 12) would be
sufficient to deliver messages to cable television customers. If future demand
should arise, the Micro System I would always be available for page memory,
output channel, and keyboard expansion.
The recommended keyboard locations would be the Shakopee Community Services, a
chosen Educational Facility, and a chosen Municipal or Governmental Facility.
Since the system offers remote keyboards with direct dial-up modems, the
locations would be very flexible.
The only variance of my recommendation from the initial proposal is the lack of
one remote keyboard and one channel output module. Taking into consideration the
cost of the equipment, the company's current financial situation along with the
current demand (low) for the character generated messages, we feel these changes
are economically supported.
Hopefully from the information I've submitted we will be able to reach a future
mutual agreement. If you have any additional questions on the subject I will be
available for discussion at the March Cable Commision meeting or feel free to
call at any time, (448-3831). Thank you.

CHANNEL CAPICITY AND SYSTEM DESIGN
13. Describe the equipment to be used for programming any
automated channels, including make and model numbers.*
The automated channels will be generated using Video Data
Computer Managed Multiple Display Micro System I. The Micro
System I is a versatile microprocessor and managed automated
information system for single or multiple channel display.
Advanced technology and designprovidesunparalleled flexibility----
to
lexibility_-to create individual channel display formats. Operators may
select one of three character heights, two character widths, six
choices of font enhancement and any of eight standard colors on a
line by line basis. Even time/calendar, titles, and call
displays are operator programmable.
Memory will be incorporated within the system accommodating up to
256 pages for display. The operator can allocate the memory for
use as desired. It is possible to define which pages are to be
shown on each channel, in what order and at what time. The Micro
System I provides these special editing functions:
> Cursor to the end of page erase
> Auto line center
> Auto page center
> Tab
> Character flash
> Character insert or delete
> Line open or closed
> Work integrity
It will also be possible to add new services or display channels
with plug-in modules.
The Micro System I allows the operator to program the entire
system to meet the local requirements; any page on any channel
for a specified time.
The MPC 2000 Micro System I processor chassis provides a number
of inputs to accommodate newswires, stockwires, and local or
remote keyboards. Special interfaces for time/calendar, local
weather, discat memory, expansion chassis, ect. are plugged into
the processor chassis.
*It will be presumed that equipment described or its equivalent
will be used in actual construction. As an alternative,
applicant may provide detailed specifications for such equipment.

CHANNEL CAPACITY AND SYSTEM DESIGN (continued)
The system incorporates a PS-2002 power supply and a GL 2000
genlock sync generator. The power supply features a unique
design combining the functions of a standard power source and
failsafe protection. Vital data is protected up to two hours
during power interruptions.
The UDC 2000 Universal Display Channel is the heart of the Micro
System I. A high resolution font, three character widths, six
choices of font enhancement and eight colors allows complete
control to create custom formats in test displays unique to each
channel or category of information for special emphasis. Display
formats are operator programmed on a character-1ineby-character-
line basis using the above parameters. A display sequence
entered for each channel specified in what text, sequence order,
display time and specific times for special text inserts such as
news, local weather, ect. Its packaging concept permits easy
field plug-in expansion.
A specially designed keyboard featuring single key functions,
with keys grouped and color coded, simplify control and data
entry. An advanced software editing program aids the operator in
easy manipulation of display packs. The function provided by
work integrity provides the operator from exceeding 32 characters
per line or accidently breaking a word at the end of a line. The
system automatically retypes the word on the next new line and
backfills the previous line with spaces. Keyboards can be local
or remote. Off-line editing can be provided by using the
terminal at remote sites.

MEMO TO: Mayor, Councilmembers J `
FROM: Thomas Brownell , Chief of Police
RE: 1985 Towing Contract
DATE: March 28 , 1985
Introduction:
On December 5 , 1984, Council authorized bids for the towing
and storage of vehicles for the City. The 1984 contract
expired on December 31, 1984. Two bids were received by the
stated deadline of December 27 , 1984.
Background:
The two vendors submitting bids were the 1984 contractor,
Tri-S Towing, and Koehnen' s Standard Service.
Steve Hentges , Tri-S Towing, questioned two elements of the
bid submitted by Les Koehnen, therefore, I have delayed
recommending the awarding of the bid until due process was
completed.
1. Mr. Hentges questioned Mr. Koehnen' s towing of
large vehicles , whereby this type of towing would
be sublet to another vendor.
The City Attorney advises that the towing agreement
does not address or prohibit the subletting of
services , therefore, it cannot be used for the sole
purpose of not awarding the contract to Mr. Koehnen.
2. Mr. Hentges questioned the zoning of property at
981 Bluff Avenue East where Mr. Koehnen intends to
store impounded vehicles . On appeal Council approved
usage of the property with conditions .
The majority of the police towing involves type I towing.
Attached you will find the actual bids and a comparison sheet.
Recommendation: -
Award the 1985 City Towing Contract to Lester Koehnen, 804
East 1st Avenue, Shakopee , MN.

MEMO
To: City Council, John K. Anderson, City Administrator and Judy Cox, City Clerk
From: Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney
RE: Residency Requirements of Board and Commission
Date: March 25 1985 JI
INTRODUCTION
During the Council Meeting of March 19, 1985 the question of Residency Requirements
of people for prospective members of City Boards and Commissions, other than Utility
Commission, was raised and discussed and the attorney's informal opinion was requested.
The opinion was that residency was not mandatory requirement for such membership.
A formal opinion was requested.
BACKGROUND
Residency is a matter of fact to be determined by the Council in the first instance
and formerly it generally was a pre-requisite to be hired as an employee or appointment
to a non-elective office or position in the City.
Today courts are more reluctant to uphold residency requirements than they were
formerly, but, if the City can recite a reasonable argument that municipal interests
somehow require that all City employees or that certain kinds of employees live within
the City boundaries, the Courts probably will not interfere. This is true especially
if the requirement is a rational one. The requirement that a police officer or a
fire fighter reside in the City would in all probability be upheld since the compelling
interest test can probably be met by pointing out factors such as response time to an
emergency call.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has upheld residency requirements if there is a rational
or such a requirement, but is increasingly hesitant without a compelling reason to
sustain residency requirements. In plain English, it boils down to the question of
whether a residency policy is in the best interest of the City and this is true
because residency requirements will substantially diminish the pool of interested and
qualified potential committee members and employees and in the case of a smaller
community this becomes important.
One further matter to be considered and that is residency requirements could discriminate
against minority groups and the minute a minority is discriminated against the City
faces the possibility of anti-discrimination litigation.
ALTERNATIVES
In the matter now under consideration our City Code provides the answer. Section 2.50
in part provides that all Board and Commission members, except Utility members shall
be residents of the City except such as the Council deems more representative. In
other words, the member shall be a resident of the City unless the Council considers
in any given instance that a non.-resident would be more representative,or in other
words, more capable or more suitable.
RECOMMENDATION
There is no mandatory resident requirement. The Code apparently favors a resident
but leaves the door wide open to the appointment of non-resident.

BACKGROUND :
The City Code requires 15 days written notice to the licensee
served in person or by certified mail prior to the hearing. The letter
was mailed from city hall on March 8th. The post office attempted to
deliver the letter and left a notice that there was a certified letter
at the post office on two occasions, March 9th and March 13th. (There
is no one at the licensed address at the hour the postman
delivers mail

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John K. Anderson , City Administrator
RE : Industrial Revenue Bond Evaluation Criteria
DATE : March 26 , 1985
Introduction
City Council , at its regular March 19 , 1985 meeting , reviewed
and discussed a staff memo regarding the above mentioned subject.
After considerable discussion Council directed staff to draft
some Industrial Development Bond ( IDB) guidelines or criteria
incompassing elements of alternative No . 1 , 2 and 4 in my attached
memo of March 8 , 1985 .
Review of IDB Policies and Critiera Used in Neighboring Communities
Alternative No. 1 (Type of development) :
I have reviewed the IDB policies of the City of Bloomington ,
Burnsville , Minnetonka and Brooklyn Park . The critiera
used by the City of Bloomington and listed under section
No. 4 entitled priority on page 4 of their policy establish
screening criteria for IDB entitlement applications based
upon the type of development . Their criteria for the type
of development were adopted after the State passed the
new IDB allocation formula . The Bloomington Finance Director
told me that they worked well in 1984 and there are no
plans to change them. None of the other cities established
criteria or policy priorities based upon the type of develop-
ment .
Alternative No. 2 ( Ratio of jobs created vs . IBD ' s requested ) :
The policy of the four cities reviewed included no specific
statements establishing definite ratios of job created
per thousand dollars of IDBs requested or tax base created
per thousand dollars of IDBs invested . Both the Finance
Director from Bloomington and the Assistant City Manager
from Burnsville stated their City Councils intentionally
wrote their policies to be nonspecific regarding these
items . The City of Bloomington under section No. 1 entitled
criteria paragraph B has one simple sentence stating , "new
businesses locating in Bloomington must show relatively
substantial new employee and tax base being generated by
the project" . Neither Bloomington nor Burnsville has ever
turned an applicant down, because of a poor ratio of jobs
or tax base created compared to the IDBs granted . Both
cities however, do review these criteria and consider them
an important part of the application process .
of
Attachment #1 provides 12 pages of tables and graphs that
illustrate the type of development receiving IDBS in 1984
and the jobs created per $100 ,000 in IDBS issued .
Alternative No . 4 (Minimum equity requirement) :
One of the four policies reviewed included a written minimum
equity requirement for IDB funding , the City of Minnetonka
( items #5 , 6 and 7 on Attachment No . 2) . The City of
Bloomington , according to their Finance Director , had a
15% minimum equity requirement in their previous policy.
The 15% was removed when an excellent applicant with superb
financial credentials was able to put together a project
with no money down that received approval from the financial
institutions backing the project . The City of Burnsville ,
likewise , had a 10% minimum equity clause in their earlier
policy. The 10% no longer appears in writing in their
current policy , but the Assistant City Manager indicated
that it is something the Council looks for informally .
Sample Policy and Critiera from Other Communities
The City of Bloomington policy and critiera are attached (Attachment
No . 3) for Council ' s review. In addition , a summary cover memo
indicating the five key criteria in the Burnsville policy is
attached (Attachment No . 4) . It seems that the Bloomington policy
is very straight forward and would fit Shakopee reasonably well .
The policies from the other communities are on file and Council-
members can contact me if they would like a copy of one or more
of the policies . I might add that the City of Burnsville has
an excellent pre-meeting development checklist that I think
we will be able to use internally in processing our IDB applications.
Alternatives
1 . Adopt the Bloomington critiera as is .
2 . Adopt the Bloomington criteria and add specified minimums
for jobs created and tax base created per thousand dollars
of industrial development bonds issued .
3 . Adopt the Bloomington critiera and add a criteria establishing
a minimum 10-15% equity requirement .
4 . Adopt a policy that combines alternatives No . 1 - 3 above .
Recommendation
I recommend alternative No . 1 because communities with much
more experience than Shakopee have elected to be non-specific
on the ratio of jobs and tax base created per thousand dollars
of industrial development bond issued , and non-specific regarding
a minimum equity requirement for IDB applicants .
Action Requested
Pass a motion directing City staff to draft Shakopee Policies
and Critiera for the review of municipal industrial development
financing applications in resolution form that adopts in total
the City of Bloomington ' s policy of the same name .

INTER—OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE
ATTACHMENT NO. 3
DATE: March 26, 1985
TO: John Anderson, City Manager, Shakopee
FROM: Duane Shuck, Assistant Director of Staff Services, Bloomington
SUBJECT: IDB Policy and Criteria
The attached IDB Policy is the result of much analysis and thought - and several
changes since it was originally developed in 1978 - designed to protect the City
and individual bond holders and yet allow for the reasonable issuance of bonds.
The City originally required a 15% equity contribution but has since dropped that
provision feeling that the underwriting community is in a better position to deter-
mine the financial capability of the developer and the project, and will require
whatever equity they deem necessary to protect their and/or the bond holders invest-
ment.
One other important factor is that we require all bonds to be rated "A" or better
(1.g. ) in order to be issued. This may be accomplished by a Letter of Credit
from a financial institution that is rated A or better.
The City collects a fee as set forth in 3.b. with 1/2 of the total fee (but not
less than $1,500) paid at the time of application and is non-refundable. The
balance is due prior to the approval of the final resolution.
The final Section, 4. Priority, was developed in 1984 to recognize the limitations
of issuance amounts created by federal and State legislation. We have prioritized
projects so as to give some advantage to those projects considered to be of partic-
ular benefit to the community, rather than go strictly on a first-come-first-serve
basis.
No major problems have developed from these policies, and no changes are contemplated
at this time.
If you have further questions, give me a call .

CITY OF BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA
POLICY AND CRITERIA AS TO THE REVIEW OF
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT FINANCING APPLICATIONS
GENERAL
The City of Bloomington is granted the power to issue revenue bonds and
mortgages under Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes (the "Act"). The Bloomington
City Council , being aware that such financing may prevent the emergence of
blighted land, excessive unemployment and the need for redevelopment financing
from the State and Federal governments, has expressed its support for the use
of such financing but has reserved the right to approve or reject projects on
a case-by-case basis. The following criteria have, therefore, been developed
as a guide for review of applications:
1. Criteria
a. The project is to be compatible with the overall development plans and
objectives of the City and of the neighborhood in which the project is
located.
b. New businesses locating in Bloomington must show relatively substantial
new employment and tax base being generated by the project.
c. Locating in areas of the City that the City wishes to develop,
redevelop, or which in any way complements any development plans or
policy of the City, will constitute a prime purpose under these guide-
lines. It is also the City's intent to assist in business expansions
or relocations within the City where it can be shown that such would
have a substantial , favorable impact on employment or tax base, or
both.
d. It is the City's intent to assist new or existing businesses in the
acquisition of existing facilities, where such acquisition will main-
tain the stability of the tax base, or of employment, or both, and pro-
vided that not less than 15% of the project cost is to be used for
rehabilitation of the existing facility.
e. The project must not put a burden on existing City services or utili-
ties beyond that which can be reasonably and economically accommodated.
f. The applicant (and/or the lessee in the case of property to be leased)
must have a good financial standing, show a substantial net worth, or
equity in the project, or both, and have an acceptable earnings
history or pro forma. Projects are to show in the application for
financing an owner equity or other collateral (such as a bank Letter
of Credit, a Bankers Acceptance, Pledge of a Certificate of Deposit,
insurance company guarantee, or similar security) which will be satis-
factory to the end-lender or rating agency, all determined with
reference to total project costs, and applicant is to file with the
City, if requested, a final statement of total costs and project
equity, certified to by an authorized officer or partner, or the
individual applicant, said statement to be filed at time of requesting
the Final Resolution.
g. The method of the tax-exempt financing (e.g. , a mortgage versus bonds)
will be a consideration, and is to be related to the nature and feasi-
bility of the project and to the overall financial ability of the
applicant. The City will not entertain applications proposing to use
tax-exempt denominational ID bonds (whether for sale to a limited group
of so-called sophisticated investors or to the general public) as
opposed to a tax-exempt mortgage unless the applicant's debt securities
(or the debt securities of a majority tenant - with a lease term equal
to the loan term) are rated A or better by a generally recognized
rating agency.
h. Applications for acquisition of or replacement of machinery and
equipment will be discouraged unless in conjunction with a totally
new business in Bloomington, a physical plant expansion of an existing
business, or where it is shown that the equipment acquisition is essen-
tial to the continued operation of the business in Bloomington. Also,
it is the City's intent to assist where possible in the acquisition of
pollution control equipment for any new or existing business being
required to meet mandated standards.
i . A further permitted use under these guidelines are projects, whether
profit or nonprofit, engaged in providing health care services,
including hospitals, nursing homes, and related medical facilities,
but only when the following findings can be made:
(1) Number of new jobs and related payroll is relatively significant.
(2) The project would provide a facility or service, or expansion
thereof considered desirable or necessary from a community ser-
vices standpoint.
(3) The project application also meets requirements of paragraphs a,
e, f and g of these guidelines.
j . Financing cannot be provided for any project where 25% or more of the
proceeds are to be used for the purchase of land.
2. Procedures
a. The applicant must not commence any part of the construction of the
project until there has been preliminary approval by the Council of
the application for financing.
b. The applicant shall make an application for financing on forms
available from the Department of Staff Services of the City of
Bloomington. The completed application is to be returned to the
Director of Staff Services, accompanied by the processing fee,
whereupon the application will be forwarded to the Economic Development
Commission for review and such Commission shall forward a recommen-
dation to the City Council . Specific findings shall be made and recited
regarding the criteria as well as satisfaction of public purposes of
the Act.
c. The application cannot be considered by the City until tentative City
Code findings and requirements have been made with respect to zoning,
building plans, platting, streets and utility services.
-2-
d. The applicant shall submit a timetable for completion of the project as
part of the application and any apparent major deviation from that
timetable will automatically cause the application to be brought back
to the City Council for review. This timetable must relate to the
State timetable for entitlement and pool allocations. The financing
must be completed within the calendar year for which application is
made.
e. The applicant is to select qualified financial consultants and/or
underwriters, as well as legal counsel , to prepare all necessary docu-
ments and materials. The City may rely on the opinion of such experts
and the application shall be accompanied by a financial analysis (pro
forma income statement, debt service coverage, mortgage terms, etc.) by
the underwriter as to the economic feasibility of the project and the
underwriter's ability to market the financing. Financial material sub-
mitted is to also include most recent fiscal year-end, audited, finan-
cial statements of the applicant and/or of any major lessee tenant, if
readily available.
f. Further, in the case of the tax-exempt mortgage placements, the
applicant will be required to furnish the City, before passage of
the Final Resolution, a comfort letter (but not necessarily a letter
Of commitment) from the lending institution, to the affect that said
lending institution has reviewed the economic feasibility of the
project, including the financial responsibility of the guarantors and
find that, in their professional judgment, it is an economically viable
project.
g. The applicant shall furnish along with the application, a description
of the project, plat plan, rendering of proposed building, etc. , and a
brief description of the applicant company, all in such form as shall
be required at the time of application. Such of this data as necessary
may be furnished to members of the City Council and the City's Economic
Development Commission for background information.
h. The applicant shall be required to pay the 1% deposit as specified in
the State Allocation Plan, when and if required in order to request or
maintain an allocation subsequent to the August 1 or August 31 dead-
lines in the State Allocation Plan. (This deposit is refundable upon
completion of financing.)
3. Administrative
a. The City Council reserves the right to deny any application for
financing at any stage of the proceedings prior to adopting the final
resolution authorizing issuance of the industrial development financ-
ing.
b. The City is to be reimbursed, and held harmless, for and from any
out-of-pocket costs related to the actual or proposed issuance of the
bonds. In addition, a processing charge (fee) will be due the City
(with 1/2 [but not less than $1,500] to be submitted with the applica-
tion, and which will be non-refundable, and 1/2 due just prior to the
City Council acting on the Final Resolution) , all based on the
fo-llowing schedule:
On the first $5,000,000 . . . . $1.00 per $1,000
On portion in excess of $5,000,000 . . . $ .50 per $1,000
-3-
c. All applications and supporting materials and documents shall remain
the property of the City. Note that all such materials may be subject
to disclosure and/or public review under applicable provisions of State
law.
d. The Department of Staff Services shall , at least once each year, pre-
pare a summary cumulative report of all project applications submitted
for that year and cumulatively to that point in time, and such report
shall include:
(1) Total number of applications processed.
(2) Total number and dollar volume of projects.
(3) Amount of tax base provided.
(4) Number of new jobs provided.
(5) Amount of annual payroll generated.
(6) Default information, if any.
4. Priority
a. Provided that an application meets all requirements of Sections 1 and 2
of these Policy guidelines, it will be assigned to a priority group as
follows:
Group 1 - Those projects which are located in a redevelopment district;
or, are of a manufacturing or research type of use.
Group 2 - Those projects which are located in a development district.
Group 3 - Those projects which are located in a zone where manufac-
turing is a permitted use.
Group 4 - All other projects.
b. Group 1 projects are considered to be of highest priority and applica-
tions of Group 1 projects will be submitted to the City Council for
consideration as they are received.
c. Groups 2, 3 and 4 project applications received prior to April 30, will
be held and submitted to the City Council in May for consideration.
d. Groups 2, 3 and 4 project aplications received May 1 through July 31
will be held and submitted to the City Council in August for con-
sideration.

BURNSVI LLE MEMO
t.hJV
DATE: February 8, 1985
TO: `favor and City Council
FROl\1: `iichael L. Falk
SUBJECT: Industrial Revenue Bond Finance - Status and Criteria for 1985
Included for your review is a copy of the recap of all industrial revenue
bond activity in Burnsville through December 31, 1984. Attention should be
directed to 1984 in that it was the first year under the new allocation
system. For 1984, Burnsville's allocation was set at $11,582.919.00. With
the delays in receiving procedures from the State Department of Energy and
Economic Development Burnsville, like many cities, was not able to issue
and close up to full allocation. We did however manage to place $4,562,000.00
under "grandfathered" provision. These projects included the Linvill
Associate project (CAC) , the 13 Partnership projects and the Happe Properties
project. Total projects funded under the 1984 allocation amounted to
$7,100,000.00.
Also included is a copy of the formula for the 1985 allocation for industrial
development revenue bonds indicating the Burnsville's allocation in 1985 will
be $11,712,841.00, up slightly from 1984. Of this, the Council adopted
increment resolutions for the following projects :
Ten-Tied $3,000,000
Happe Properties 750,000
13-11 Partnership 3,000,000
In addition, the Council will be considering the application of Skyline Displays,
Inc. for $1,600,000, bringing the total to $8,350,000.00.
(dhen the Council considered the application of Happe Properties and the 13-11
Partnership, criteria for issuance under the 1985 allocation were discussed.
These criteria included :
- Increase in job opportunities with the City
Increased tali base for the City
- Location (specifically, favoring T. I.F. District)
- Amount of other investment that could be leveraged
- Emphasis on local companies
David Kennedy will be at Monday's meeting to review any pending Federal legisla-
tion concerning IRB funding and changes in State procedure.

Mr. John Anderson
City Administrator
City Hall
129 East First Avenue
Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear John:
This letter is in response to your inquiry of whether the City
of Shakopee can count the racetrack IDB issue as a part of its "high
three" yearly average for purposes of the State Industrial Development
Bond (IDB) Allocation Entitlement computation.
Under present law, the racetrack issue would not be included.
The allocation procedure is spelled out in Minnesota Statutes ,
Section 474 . 18, subd. 2, which provides for a one-time certification
by the Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED) of the
highest three of the four preceding calendar years as given to DEED
thirty days after the effective date of the Act (April 27, 1984 ) .
The law as it now exists was intended merely as an interim allocation
measure, anticipating the Congressional action of imposing state
IDB caps . Therefore, a subsequent year recertification is not
provided for in the law. In any event, the law is automatically
repealed effective January 1, 1986 .
The more important question then becomes "what allocation
procedure will replace the existing IDB allocation process?" There
are two existing bills in the Legislature that are receiving serious
consideration. The League of Minnesota Cities/NAHRO bill continues to
provide for an entitlement process similar to the one existing under
present law. The most recent copy that I have uses the same three year
average but it is my understanding that the language may be amended to
reflect an updated certification process . This would result in the
racetrack IDB being included in Shakopee 's "high three" average .
The other bill being seriously considered is Representative Bill
Schreiber 's bill which provides for unlimited use of IDBs for manufactur-
ing projects (the definition of manufacturing projects includes high
technology types of projects) and use of commercial IDBs in redevelopment
areas . That is an overly simplistic description of the Schreiber bill
but the legislation does not contemplate the use of entitlement

allocations . Rep . Schreiber is the chairman of the House Tax
Committee and was last year the chief author of the legislation
that now is the State IDB Allocation Act . Therefor, he will be
influential in the outcome of this year 's allocation determination.
This is a lengthy way of saying that Shakopee presently cannot
include the racetrack IDB in an entitlement calculation but there
is some possibility that it could be included in a new recertification
if entitlements prevail under the new allocation legislation.
I will continue to monitor the legislation and keep you
informed.
Sincerely,
Arlin B. Waelti

The Department of Energy and Economic Development has determined the
amounts of issuance authority for calendary ear 1985 allocated to entitlement

August, 1984, after enactment of a federal limitation act pursuant to
Minnesota Laws 1984, ch. 582 §15, to be codified as Minn. Stat. 474.18, subd.
2 and Minn. Laws 1984, ch. 584 §12, to be codified as Minn. Stat. 474.25, and
who chose not to withdraw as entitlement issuers for the year 1985 by December
31, 1984.
The Department of Energy and Economic Development has determined the
amounts of issuance authority allocated to entitlement issuers based upon the
following:
1 . The allocations for entitlement issuers and procedures set forth in
Minn. Laws 1984, ch. 582 §15;
2. The state ceiling for private activity bonds of $150 multiplied by
the most recent census estimate of the resident population of the State of
Minnesota published by the Bureau of the Census in 1984 which is 4,144,000;
and
3. The re-certifications of previous use submitted to the Department by
enntitlement issuers.
The Department used the following formula to determine the final
amounts of issuance authority allocated to entitlement issuers set forth

RE: Extension of Preliminary Plat Approval of Fox Run
1st Addition
DATE: March 21, 1985
Introduction•
Mr. Fred Corrigan has submitted a request for a twelve month
extension of the preliminary plat approval of Fox Run 1st Addn.
Background-
In March 1984 the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the preliminary plat which consisted of eleven lots. On April 3 ,
1984 the City Council approved the preliminary plat, but only for
subdivision of the parcel into two lots.
The procedure for final plats is: tiling of the application,
review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and final
approval by resolution by the City Council. However, the Sub-
division Ordinance requires Council approval for extension of pre-
liminary approval, upon written application and for good cause shown.
Mr. Corrigan has expressed an economic hardship for completing the
final plat within the one year time frame.
Alternatives:
1. Approve extension for twelve months.
2. Do not approve extension for twelve months .
Recommendation:
Alternative #1.
Action Requested:
Offer a motion to approve the extension of the preliminary
plat approval of Fox Run lst Addition for twelve months , and move
for its adoption.

RE: Interfund Transfers
DATE: March 26, 1985
Introduction R. Background
Council is aware of the funding deficit for the 101 Service
Road project and that the project is defunct and therefore the
casts are not assessable. Therefore, the costs for the project
should not be reflected in the special assessment funds which
is where the costs were accumulated. Council directed that
the reimbursement to the special assessment fund come out of
the Capital Improvement Fund in the 1985 Budget. Regardless
of the budget, the financial report should show the true circum-
stances to the readers that the project was abandoned in 1984
and the costs accounted for in the Capital Improvement Fund
so as to not show misleading data by having the deficit in a
special assessment fund when the project is not assessable.
The bills incured in 1984 have been recoded to be paid ,mut of
the Capital Improvement Fund but the bills paid in prior years
have to be handled by a transfer. Request that Council ap
rve
of the transfer of $33, 160. 40 from the Capital ImprovementFund
to the 1984 Improvement Fund. The auditor concurs with handling
the situation in this manner.
Also, for the past four years, the interest earnings on the
Kmart tax increment between the time of receipt �•f the settlement
from the county and remittance to the trustee has been transferred
from the Kmart Fund to the HRA Fund. Request approval of the
transfer of $17, 846. 22 from the Kmart Fund to the HRA Fund for
1984 interest earnings.
Action Requested
Move to approve of the transfer of $33, 180. 40 from the Capital
Improvement Fund to the 1984 Improvement Fund for costs of the
101 Service Road project and $17, 846. 22 from the K
to the HRA Fund. mart F ur,d

Memo To: John Anderson, Shakopee City Administrator
From George F. Muenchow, Director Shakopee Community Services
Subject: Budget ALlotment (1985-1986) Increase Request
The Shakopee Community Services Board and Staff has been struggling with its
proposed 1985 Budget since the beginning calculations were prepared last June.
It was thought that a workable plan was determined by normal budget adoption
time in September—October. By year's end it became apparent that the projections
would be in error. Some changes had to be made. The Board' s major proposed
adjustments were as follows (adopted February 18, 1985) :
a. Increase most youth Activity Fees by $ 3.00
b. Increase most adult Activity Fees by $ 3.00
c. Increase City's Allotment by. . . . . . . . $ 2,000.00
d. Increase School's Allotment by. . . . . . $ 2,000.00
e. Re—instate Capital Expenditures. . . . . $ 4,800.00
The Board therefore, went on record to adopt a Budget of $ 142,400.00 and to
request its two parent bodies, the City Of Shakopee and School District #720
to authorize each a Budget Allotment Increase of $2,000.00 for the support of
this budget. This Memo is intended to serve as the notification of this request.
The revised Budget Allotment Request from the City of Shakopee is now $40,855.00.
Action REquested:
Amend the City' s 1985 budget allotment to Shakopee Community
Services by increasing it $2 , 000 to a total of $40, 855 .00.

Memo To: John Anderson
From George F. Muenchow, Director Shakopee Community Services
Subject Proposed O'Dowd Lake Speed Limits
The Shakopee Community Services Board at its February 18, 1985 Meeting heard
from Messrs Wm Dellwo, Bob Schmitt, and Earl Lenzmeier, officers of the
Louisville Town Board, who related to their concerns regarding erosion problems
in Lake O'Dowd. This problem has been accentuated by the high water levels
that have resulted from the rainfall of the past couple of years. They pointed
out that the introduction of aerators (at no government expense) has brought back
excellent fish production in this lake in a very short time. There also now
is a good balance of fish life, vegetation growth, and water chemistry.
The main problem that now exists is the erosion that will occur when there is a
a lot of wave action. This problem can be diminished if water craft will not
travel on the lake at high speeds. To insure that this will not happen the
Louisville Town Board will be recommending to the Scott County Commissioners,
the governmental agency that controls speeds on county lakes, that a limit of
15 miles/hr be established for Lake O'Dowd. These men are seeking support in
this effort.
The Shakopee C.S. Board at this February 18 Meeting went on record to provide
support for the Louisville Township Board in its efforts to have the speed
limit on Lake O'Dowd be established at 15 MPH. The C.S. Board also encourages
the Shakopee City Council to give similar backing.
The group is aware that a few of the residents on the lake will not be enthused
about this action because they probably no longer will be able to water ski or
drive their boats at high speeds, but for the overall good of the lake it was
felt that this decision would be a good one.
Action Requested:
Move to endorse the efforts of the Louisville Township Board to
have the speed limit on Lake O 'Dowd be established at 15 MPH.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John K. Anderson , City Administrator
RE: Application for 10 Cents Admission Tax for the
Racetrack
DATE : March 28 , 1985
Introduction
Shakopee City Staff, in cooperation with Canterbury Downs staff,
has completed our application for an admission tax for Canterbury
Downs . The application was given to Racing Commission staff
March 28 , 1985 , one year to the day that the Shakopee site was
selected for Minnesota ' s first race track.
Commission Process
Rick Evans , the Executive Director of the Racing Commission ,
will be making a determination to schedule the required hearing
on the City ' s admission tax request on April 10th or April 17th.
The April 10th date is a special meeting that would be held
at 9 : 30 a.m. on the 24th floor of the Hennepin County Government
Center, Administration Tower. The Mayor and/or the Vice Mayor
should be available for this hearing. After the hearing , during
which the public will have an opportunity to comment , the Commission
can question the City regarding the justification of our request
for a 10 cents admission tax. After the questioning is completed ,
Rick would expect a vote on the City ' s request by the Commission .
Rick Evans indicated that there were two possible strategies
the City might take in making its application. The first would
be the thorough approach which has been used consistently by
Canterbury Downs. This is the approach we have taken and Rick ' s
initial reaction was very positive to our letter and proposal .
The second approach would be to simply submit a one-page letter
indicating we are applying for the 10 cents admission tax .
Then at the meeting the City would present its case in detail
for the justification of the 10 cents admission tax . It is
hard to tell which approach would be best , but I feel that we
are better off with the thorough approach even if it means tougher
questions from the Commission Members at the hearing .
Alternatives
In addition to the two alternatives listed above Council could
choose to make some amendments to the thorough application as
attached . These amendments could be submitted separately and
still make the Commission agenda.
1 . Provide the Racing Commission with a one page letter requesting
a 10 cents admission tax for Shakopee. This would be followed
with a formal presentation at the meeting outlining much
of what is already included in the March 14 , 1985 letter.
2. Present the March 14 , 1985 letter as attached. This would
require only introductory remarks at the Commission hearing
and response to specific questions.
3 . Provide the March 14 , 1985 letter with amendments after
Council review and discussion.
Recommendation
Staff recommends alternative No. 2 or 3 . This approach is in
keeping with the Canterbury Downs method of providing the Racing
Commission with thorough staff work, and is in keeping with the
City of Shakopee ' s completed staff work approach as well.
Action Requested
Pass a motion authorizing the submission of the March 14 , 1985
request to Ray Eliot of the Minnesota Racing Commission for
a 10 cents admission tax at Canterbury Downs.

Minnesota Racing Commission

Minneapolis , MN 55414
Re : Canterbury Downs - Admission Tax Application
Dear Chairman Eliot:
As you may know M. S. 240 . 15 Subd . 1 (b) provides for a local
admissions tax at licensed race tracks. We informed your staff
several months ago that the City would be seeking approval of
a 10 cents admission tax. We have received notice from Richard
Evans , the Executive Secretary of the Racing Commission , that
he would like to have our application filed before April 8 ,
1985 .
Our initial analysis of the impact of the Racetrack on
municipal services began in 1983 when the City was evaluating
its role in promoting the successful Shakopee application now
known as Canterbury Downs . That initial investigation included
calls to racetrack communities around the Country by me and
our Chief of Police . We learned at that time that there would
be a definate impact on police and traffic related municipal
services . We also learned , that because of Shakopee ' s size
which is approximately 11 , 000 population , we would be unique
among racing communities in the Country since nearly all of
them were much larger cities or were cities that contracted
for police services from larger county agencies. The Shakopee
Police Department has fourteen licensed officers .
The list of municipal services provided below reflects
Shakopee ' s forecast of service needs for the Racetrack that
cannot be attributed to a typical new business or industry .
We have prepared the list with the assumption that the typical
service needs of a new business or industry are roughly comparable
in expense to the revenues generated by the new business ' s property
tax contribution , and that what the Commission will be looking
for , and the law M. S . 240 . 15 Subd . 1 ( b ) requires , are those
service costs that can be defined as extraordinary and sometimes
referred to as municipal overburden .
The Heart of Progress Valley
AN Fnfte- ..:.. - -
Mr. Ray Eliot
Page Two
March 14 , 1985
Shakopee has met '.he service requirements of other major
regional recreational facilities like Val.leyfair extremely well .
Part of our ability to meet their service demands is reflected
in a separate contract with Valleyfair to help finance municipal
overburden. When Shakopee wholeheartedly endorsed the Canterbury
Downs site , we fully expected to duplicate this supplemental
revenue source for municipal overburden through the 10 cents
admission tax as is provided in the Statutes .
In keeping with Minnesota Statute 420. 15 , Subd . 1 ( b) , ( 1984) ,
the City has outlined below the specific expenses we expect
to incur in providing municipal services for Canterbury Downs:
Polic=e S .rvice�
Increase the Department by 2 full time licensed officers at
a cost of $60 ,000 per year. Shakopee ' s Chief of Police has
requested two additional officers for the past four years .
Due to the two economic recessions in our State and the State
of Minnesota ' s cutback in local government aid those requests
were not honored . With the advent of the Racetrack we feel
it is necessary to fill these positions to provide two man coverage
24 hours a day. Therefore , the City increased its budget by
one officer when passing the 1985 budget last fall and the City
has now initiated the hiring of the one officer through the
Minnesota Police Recruitment Program. One additional officer
will be hired in 1986 .
While the Commission may correctly observe that these two
employees might not be spending all of their shift covering
the Racetrack, other Police Department employees will be refocusing
a major part of their time on the Racetrack in training Racetrack
employees as reserve traffic officers and dealing with increased
case reports flowing out of the Racetrack . Finally we expect
that these investigations will be more time consuming and will
require significant interaction with the BCA.
Pu li Works Services
The City plans to fill one vacant Public Works slot which was
vacated through attrition and held vacant during the last two
years because of the reasons mentioned above . The position ' s
cost will be $20 , 000 per year . Again , as stated above , this
one individual would not, be assigned solely to the Racetrack
but will be scheduled with our normal crews to provide regular
street maintenance services such as street sweeping , traffic
sign maintenance , shoulder, maintenance on rural sections , ditch
maintenance such as mowirg , and seal coating every five years .
Mr. Ray Eliot
Page Three
March 14 , 1985
In addition , we anticipate a much higher level of road side
litter maintenance simply because of the desires of the State ,
Canterbury Downs and the City to keep the major entrances to
the Racetrack looking nice. We believe it will take two part
time summer people to keep the roadways in and around the track
litter free. We estimate this cost at $6 ,000 for two students
for three months.
Engineering Services
We anticipate ongoing drainage system monitoring and maintenance
will cost us $2 ,000 per year because of their unique surface
water management plan that must function to meet the condition
of the E.I .S. and Indirect Source Permit. That road reconstruction
costs based on a ten year overlay cycle and a twenty year recon-
struction cycle will cost $ 10 , 000 per year for 1 . 9 miles of
new roadway . We anticipate that railroad crossing and traffic
intersection signalization maintenance will cost us $1 , 000 per
year.
Inspection Services
We expect that building , plumbing , electrical and sprinkler
system inspection services will cost $3 ,000 to $5 ,000 per year
for renewal of certificate of occupancy permits . This does
not include any inspection services expense for proposed expansion
which should be covered by the normal building permit fees .
Community Development/Land Use Planning Services
The City has established an annual review process for the Conditional
Use Permits issued to the Racetrack . This annual review is
estimated to cost $100 .00 per year. Other miscellaneous community
development and planning costs are estimated at $ 100 . 00 per
year.
Transit Services
The City estimates that the local transit subsidy required to
service intra-city transit trips will be $5 , 000. This is based
on an average dial-a-ride transit subsidy of $5 . 00 per -passenger- -_-__._----- - -
times 1 000
passenger trips per=- year. — The City estimates-- that___`_` *the inter-cit3= transit expenses---- 11---be--minimized-. with--Canterbur
y
Downs promoted subscription service , charter bus service and _
possibility special MTC express service similar to that serving
the Metro Dome and the Zoo. Shakopee estimates that its inter-city
van pool service will serve 20 , 000 passenger trips per year
at a subsidy of $1 . 00 per passenger trip. This is 50 employees
times 2 work trips times 200 working days . At a subsidy of
Mr. Ray Eliot
Page Four
March 14 , 1985
. 50 per trip ( the present MTC subsidy is approximately $1 .50
per trip) this will be a cost of $10 ,000 per year. These inter-city
van pool trips serve employees and not the admission paying
public coming to the racez via the other transportation alternatives
mentioned above . These transit services will serve employees
from Minneapolis and St . Paul who cannot afford automobiles.
Recreational Services
The City has had a difficult time estimating the impact on recrea-
tional services. It is clear that some of our facilities like
Memorial Park lying on Highway 101 with superb picnic and restroom
facilities will be heavily used by those attending the Racetrack.
Much of this use should be covered under Public Works services
mentioned above. The impact on recreational services and adult
educational services is best estimated by taking a per capita
cost and projecting it. The current per capita cost for the
City of Shakopee is $38 , 855 or $3 . 53 per capita . Presuming
an employment increase of 1500 people (note we understand that
all these people will not live in Shakopee but that is balanced
by the spin-off business created , a portion of those employees
will live in Shakopee) is $5 ,295 per year.
Municipal Enterprise -ILS
-ervices ( Electricial , Sewer, Water and
Street Lighting)
All of these enterprise finds are well established and are designed
to pay for themselves . The one expection is street lighting
which is a City expense and not operated like an enterprise.
The City estimates that ��he Racetrack will require a light every
400 feet on approximately 25 , 080 feet of roadways leading into
the Racetrack , and two lights at intersections . This is 62
poles times $ 1 , 500 per pole and $500 per fixture or $124 ,000
for installation. Based upon 20 years straight line depreciation
this is $6 ,200 per year. The annual operating costs are estimated
at 62 fixtures @ 1120 killowatt hours @ $ .05 per killowatt hour
for a annual energy operz,ting expense of $3 ,472. 00 per year.
Fire Department Services
The City plans to - upgrade -one 1 ,500 gallon pumper- at-a- cost
of $220 , 000 . --- If -this vehicle is desimple -- --

does not anticipate upgrading or modifying any other Fire-Department
equipment based on the impact of the Racetrack.
Chamber of Comm rce/Administration ( General nformat ' ona, inquiries)
The City currently sub.,idizes the Chamber of Commerce through
the provision of free rental space and free utilities. In—addition _
the City employs the sanic�_secretary staff used by the Chamber
Mr . Ray Eliot
Page Five
March 14 , 1985
one day per week so that the Chamber can attract more capable
staff by having a full time secretarial position. We anticipate
that this individual and the secretary handling incoming calls
at City Hall will see a significant increase in Racetrack related
informational calls . We feel that these administrative costs
represent approximately $1 ,000 per year in additional services .
The total cost of the items listed above represents $116 , 167
per year. This compares to estimated revenue from the $ . 10
local admissions tax in the first full year of operation , 1986 ,
of $ 174 , 000 based on Canterbury Downs attendance figures of
12 , 000 per day x 145 days. The City feels that these figures
accurately represent new cost to Shakopee that should be covered
by receipts from the 10 cents admissions tax.
If you have any questions regarding the City' s application
for 10 cents admission tax please contact me . The City is interested
in making its presentation of the formal application at your
April 15 , 1985 meeting. Please let me know when our application
is formally scheduled so that I can insure that the proper City
officials are present.
Attached is a letter of support from Canterbury Downs.

MEMO TO: HRA Commissioners
FROM : John K. Anderson , City Administrator
RE: Emergency Call System for Senior Citizens Highrise
DATE : March 14 , 19$5
Introduction
Last fall the HRA requested that staff prepare an ordinance
for City Council consideration requiring that any residents
for senior citizens have emergency call systems connected to
the Sheriff' s Office. I have been collecting information regarding
this request , but have not given it high priority. The information
provided below is provided to determine if Council wishes to
pursue this issue as requested by the HRA.
Mandatory Emergency Call System Ordinance
I have discussed the proposed ordinance with the League of Minnesota
Cities staff. They found no enabling legislation for such a
requirement and they found no sample ordinance from any other
Minnesota community. This does not preclude the City of Shakopee
from, trying to draft a legal and enforceable emergency call
ordinance .
Alternative Emergency Call Procedures
1 . The simpliest and most straight forward emergency call procedure
would be to rely solely on the new 911 emergency call number.
This is the preferred alternative of the Scott County Sheriff
Department according to Al DuBois. It is also recommended
as the logical approach by Mr. Hugh Mullett of Trans-Alarm
of Burnsville . Trans-Alarm provides a 24-hour emergency
call service , staffs the service with trained dispatch personnel
and charges a fee for the service. Normally a client leaves
instructions with Trans-Alarm directing them to call certain
parties such as a Sheriff ' s Department when they receive
an alarm from their client. The Sheriff' s Department will
not accept new alarm systems and is trying to eliminate
those it has .
2 . Trans-Alarm provides a wireless panic button that is worn
as a pendent and is activated when squeezed by two fingers.
This alarm system is available at a cost of $424 . 00 per
unit plus $54 . 00 installation for a purchase of 1 to 25
units . It costs $371 .00 per unit plus $54 . 00 installation
for a purchase of 25+ units . This wireless pendent has
both a visable and audible alarm so that the person using
it knows they have in fact tripped the alarm. To provide
24 hour a day monitoring would cost an additional $12.00
per month per unit . Any alarms received would then be relayed
by Trans-Alarm to whom ever had been directed by prior instruc-
tion to receive the call .
P l
3 . Every floor at the Highrise could have someone designated
to check on the existing alarm lights presently provided
in the building hallways . This is similar to their present
system. The persons so designated could have a routine
schedule for checking the light alarms . These people could
also be tied into an alarm system like the one outlined
in alternative No . 2 . When Trans-Alarm received an alarm
they could call one of the people to check the room before
emergency services were contacted . Unless these people
are paid it is purely a voluntary service that could lack
the consistency of a paid system.
4 . If the current alarm system ( red lights in the hallway )
were wired to the building office , the building office in
turn could be wired to Trans-Alarm for approximately $800 .00 .
This then would be monitored by Trans-Alarm for approximately
$15 .50 per month and Trans-Alarm would take whatever action
they were directed to take when they receive such an alarm.
This could be anything from calling the Sheriff' s Department ,
the rescue service , or contacting a previously designated
person in the building to go and check the office panel .
At that point the individual would know which room the alarm
came from , could check the room and in turn contact emergency
service if necessary.
Emergency Access to Building
I have checked with the hospital emergency services department
regarding access to the highrise . They indicated that each
ambulance contains the necessary keys to enter the building
and that they have had no problem obtaining access to the building
on past calls . They also indicated that the person making the
call normally helps them enter the building and that there are
specific lists that they have available to help them locate
people in the building.
Recommendation
The question for Council is whether or not it wants to begin
mandating emergency call procedures . This would require that
Council establish minimum criteria and that Council establish
a mechanism to insure that the systems remain operative after
they are initially installed .
It does not appear that the emergency call procedures at the
Highrise have been neglected to the point that the City must
step in with an ordinance to mandate minimum procedures . Moreover,
the City would probably be better off leaving this subject to
the private developer and the residents of the facility . Clearly ,
as the alternatives listed above indicate , there are numerous
emergency call alternatives with varying costs. It seems that
it would difficult for the City to determine just what minimum
emergency call procedures would work best for a specific type
of residential facility. Therefore , I recommend that Council
take no action with regard to the Senior Citizens Highrise.
Action Requested
Direct staff to notify Marge Henderson that a review of the
emergency call procedures at the Highrise has been conducted ,
that alternatives have been examined and that the City will
take no formal action to pass an ordinance with minimum emergency
call procedures that could be uniformally applied to the Highrise
and similar facilities in Shakopee .

John Anderson, City Administrator

Shakopee, Minnesota 55379
Dear Mr. Anderson,
This is an attempt to answer your question concerning alarm
systems in senior citizen housing. I believe you stated that
the city wishes to require a 24-hour warning system in a senior
citizen housing project that alerts someone outside of the
building (e.g. the police department or the county sheriff' s
office) of a medical emergency, rather than simply alerting
someone in the building itself.
The best information I have been able to come up with is as
follows. 1 ) I don' t know of any cities that have passed such
a requirement, but this does not prove such requirements do not
exist. 2) A city probably has the authority to make such a
requirement. 3) Probably the loudest complaints would come
from whoever is obligated to respond to all the alarms in the
middle of the night (e.g. law enforcement or ambulance
personnel). 4) As you undoubtedly know, HUD has a requirement
that all HUD-financed buildings must have an alarm system of
some type---either one that sounds an alarm within the building
itself (e.g. to a night manager) , to an outside location as you
propose, or probably some comparable workable method.
At first I was leaning toward the opposite conclusion, that
Shakopee probably couldn't make such a requirement, after a
conversation with Hal Freshley of the Metro Council, who is
the region 11 representative on matters pertaining to aging.
He cited me a recent case involving the St. Paul fire
department, which apparently had to get special legislation in
order to require fire alarms that exceeded state code. If I
recall correctly, St. Paul did not want to allow battery-run
fire alarms, but wanted to allow only electric ones.
Regardless of the details, apparently the state fire code
didn' t allow the city to impose such a requirement without
first obtaining special legislation. I haven' t attempted to
verify the accuracy of accuracy of my facts, but the situation
is roughly as I described it.
1 83 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 551 01 [61 2] 227-5600
I talked to the St. Paul fire marshal, to see if he felt there
would be a paralled between St. Paul's situation and the one in
Shakopee. he did not feel there was a parallel and hazarded an-
opinion that your proposed regulation would be permissible.
Likewise, I spoke to one of the code administrators at the
State Building Code office, and likewise he did not see a legal
problem with such a requirement. I also posed your question to
several members of the League research staff, and collectively
we couldn' t think of any legal impediments to stand in
Shakopee's way.
Another main contact was with Kathy Beebe of the Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency. I believe it was tier opinion that your
proposal was probably not necessary, but you could require it
if you wanted to. She and others I spoke to all suggested you
have an excellent resource on senior citizen housing matters
locally, in the form of Jean Andre. She also gave me a little
history on a project at 200 Levee Drive in Shakopee, which she
assumed is the senior housing in question. She felt that the
warning system currently used there is probably consistent with
HUD requirements.
Thus, if my conclusion is correct that the city could impose
such a requirement, it is probably a matter of working out the
practical aspects of doing so. The big question several people
brought up was whether the local resources are sufficient to
provide round the clock protection, and whether the providor of
the round the clock protection will be willing to respond to
numerous false alarms, as will undoubtedly be the case.
I didn't try to figure out how the existence of the 911 system
would relate to all of this, but it seems worth considering as
well.
I hope this will be of some assistance. It' s the best I could
do in the time available.
Yours truly,
William Makela

MEMO TO: Jahn K. Anderson, City Adm i n i st rat 1
FROM: H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer I
SUBJECT: Consulting Engineer Selection
DATE: March 29, 1985
INTRODUCTION:
Since the first part of December 1984, the City Council Consul-
tant Selection Committee has processed nearly twenty-two (22)
applications from consulting engineering firms interested in
serving as the general consultant for the City of Shakopee.
BACKGROUND:
The Selection Committee found it even more difficult to reduce
the list of firms as we neared our goal of selecting a firm
for General Civil Engineering work.
We had reduced the list of firms being considered to Orr-
Sche 1 en-Mayeron & Assoc. , Inc. , To 1 t z, King, Duvall, Anderson,
& Assoc. , Inc. , and Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderl i k, & Assoc. ,
Inc. All of these firms produced work that would conform to
the City' s Design Criteria and Standard Specifications. All
of these firms had the staff capable of performing the work
assignments the City might make in the future and all of these
firms had rates that were r-easonably close to one another.
In the final analysis it was the decision of the committee
to select Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Assoc. , Inc. based upon their
qualifications and ability to perform the work we would antici-
pate here and based upon the liaison staff they would use in
Shakopee. The decision was very difficult but it is the opinion
of the Committee that this firm would do an excellent ,fob of
serving the City, as they have with other communities in this
area.
The action the Selection Committee requests is that City Council
authorize the City Engineer to negotiate with Orr-Schelen-
Mayeron & Assoc. , Inc. for a contract to provide General Civil
Engineering services to the City for 1985, which contract would
be renewable with the mutual consent of both parties.

MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrato
FROM: H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Abating Assessment for Dean' s Lake i Engineer-
9
Improvement NO. 1976-1, Schedule P
DATE: March 29, 1985
INTRODUCTION: _
When the above referenced assessments were adopted in June,
1979, two property owners received two assessments each for
this project. One was Dale J. Strobel who later subdivided
his parcel, the other was Charles R. Griffin who recently asked
the City for permission to subdivide his property.
BACKGROUND:
When Mr. Griffin investigated the possibility of splitting
his lot, he was told by the Planning Department that it was
illegal to subdivide his lot as he proposed.
It was illegal to subdivide his lot because the resulting lots
would be less than the minimum size permitted by City Ordinance.
Mr. Griffin then reminded the City Planner and I that he had
been assessed benefit for two parcels and was only permitted
to use one. Mr. Griffin said the City should refund the other
assessment with interest or make some modification to the drain-
age system so that it worked and did not continually damage
his property. Mr. Griffin' s point regarding the Dean' s Lake
Drainage Project was well taken and the project should be modi-
fied so that it does not continually damage Mr. Griffin' s Prop-
erty and so that the easement area used by the drainage system
can be maintained with ordinary equipment.
At the present time the drainage system cannot be maintained
because the slopes were much steeper than designed, and because
the rocks and debris washed into the system from the road above.
l�
Memorandum/Dean's Lake Road
March 29, 1985
Page 2
Mr. Griffin request that at the very least, the second assess-
ment be abated and that any money paid on the second assessment
be refunded with interest. Mr. Griffin would prefer that the
project be modified so that it does not cause a maintenance
problem for him.
This project is a maintenance problem for both the City and
Mr. Griffin. It is a problem because the gravel road is un-
stable on such steep slope and the rock continues to wash into
the drainage system, which was installed to prevent the road
and ditch from washing away.
There is one thing that will prevent this road from washing
away and that is a hard surface. That paving would cost approx-
imately $15, 000. 00. Before it would pay the City to install
the road, the City would have to be spending more than $1, 700. 00
per year maintaining this system.
If the rocks were removed from Mr. Griffin' s front yard regu-
lary, it is very likely the City could be spending that much
money.
The true solution is paving the roadway. The drainage system
as constructed will never function without a very high maint-
enance cost. The road is only 840 feet long and with a bitumi-
nous curb section, could handle the runoff now draining to
the underground system.
The property owners do not want to spend $15, 000. 00 and the
City certainly does not want to spend $15, 000. 00 unnecessariily,
but something must be done or this problem will continue to
plague the City.
The City would not have a short term pay-off if we paved that
segment of Dean' s Lake Road, however it would eliminate a recur-
ring nuisance and reduce part of the Public Works Department' s
annual maintenance responsibility.
The alternatives mentioned above are:
1. Do Nothing.
2. Abate the second assessment to Charles R. Griffin
for the Dean' s Lake Road storm sewer Improvement 76-1,
Schedule P1. Project # 2, and refund any payment made to
date with interest.
Memorandum/Dean' s Lake Road
March 29, 1985
Rage 3
3. Modify the existing drainage system so that Mr.
Griffin' s property can be maintained with conventional
equipment.
4. Improve Deans Lake Road by paving, so that all of
the surface water is carried by bituminous curb to a safe
outlet at the bottom of the hill .
In my view, the only real long term solution would be paving
Deans Lake Road. Any other solution falls short of solving
the long term problem, regardless of what the history of this
project has been, the fact of the matter is that the City has
a continuing long term responsibility to maintain this drainage
system in proper working order regardless of what recommendation
is taken, something should be done to reduce the City' s long
term problems. It is my recommendation that City Council ap-
prove Alternative No. 2 at a minimum and then discuss conditions
under, which Alternative No. 4 might be undertaken.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Motion to direct Staff to prepare a Resolution abating
the second assessment to Charles F. Griffin, 5310 Eagle
Creek Blvd. , Shakopee, MN , Par-eel # 27-915032-00 in the
amount of $420. 89 and refunding with interest any amounts
Mr. Griffin may have paid to date.
2. Discuss conditions under which the long term problems
with the Dean' s Lake Road storm sewer may finally be re-
solved.

WHEN IT RAINS
Shakopee plans to use a "new" technique to pay for the costs
of managing storm water runoff - a Storm Drainage Utility .
This leaflet is prepared to introduce you to this new utility
and answer your questions.
Why do we have a storm drainage system?
Before people settled in Shakopee , the natural state of the
land was rolling prairie and river valley covered with grass
and trees . When it rained , the water soaked into the ground
or flowed naturally to the rivers and streams . When people
came to Shakopee, they built homes , stores , offices , churches ,
and paved the land with streets, parking lots , and driveways .
Now, when it rains , the ground cannot absorb the water as easily ,
and more water flows off. As the development of the land continued ,
it became increasingly important to control the storm water.
Storm drainage facilities had to be built, maintained and renewed
in order to:
o Protect people
o Protect property
o Reduce insurance risks
o Improve property values
o Enhance the environment
o Provide for safe traffic flow
To control storm waters and receive these benefits , there is
a cost. The proposed storm drainage utility will spread these
costs to those who "create" the storm water runoff.
What is a storm drainage utility?
A storm drainage utility is similar to the familiar sanitary
sewer utility. The fee is based on the amount of water that
is discharged into the system . For instance , a parking lot
creates more runoff than a grass area the same size, so it pays
a higher rate . Similarly, a large parcel creates more runoff
than a small parcel , so it too pays a higher amount . In this
way , the citizens of Shakopee will pay for the management of
storm water in proportion to the amount of water they "contribute" ,
not on the value of their property .
Why is a utility needed?
Recent State legislation now requires Shakopee to take greater
and earlier actions to protect water quality in our community
than ever before . These actions will including forming a new
water management organization (WMO ) and developing regional
and local plans to identify problems .
Today , storm water costs are paid for using general tax money
property taxes. These new costs , when combined with the nearly
$30 ,000 Shakopee must spend for doing storm drainage maintenance
each year, represents a major expenditure of tax money. Shakopee
must find a way to meet the rising costs in a fair and equitable
manner, without adding additional burden to the property tax
rolls .
What's my share of the costs'?
The expected quarterly fees in 1986 to various types of properties
are shown below:
PROPERTY TYPE QUARTERLY RATES
Single Family Homes and Duplexes
Cemeteries and Golf Courses
Parks and Parking Lots
Schools and Community Centers
Multiple Family Dwellings and Churches
Commercial/Industrial
Your initial storm drainage fee will be billed separately, ultimately
the fee will be included on the same electric , garbage , water
and sewer bill you receive each month . The Cit

orsitA Please call
the City Engineer s Office at 445-3650 if
a reduction. you wish to discuss
What portion of the costs are paid by property owners?
Currently , a citywide portion equal to fifty
total construction cost is paid through citywide percent of the
Property taxes.
The remaining fifty, percent is Paid through special assessments
to the benefited
property. This formula applies to both lateral
and trunk storm sewer facilities in all cases except for new
Platted subdivisions which pay 100% of the storm sewer costs .
Under the proposed storm drainage utility, the citywide portion
would remain at 50% but it would be collected as a utility fee
similar to your monthly sanitary sewer bill . This adds equity
to the financing formula in two important ways.
D-0-P,, property with more hard cover and more runoff will share
more of the storm sewer cost . Two , an additional percent of
total costs will now be paid by tax exem t
no property taxes for the citywide Portion Properties , who payed
Y n in the past.
The remaining 50% that was assessed to the benefited properties
under the old formula will be financed in two ways . One , the
specially benefited property will pay a 25% special benefit
assessment (one-half the old rate ) , but pay it on a user fee
and not an assessment . This reduction is required by State
Supreme Court case law. The user fee is

o Where changes or repairs to existing facilities need to be
made .
o Where and when future facilities will be needed .

The City9s contractor has also performed much work on private
Property, work under street cut permits and work for Shakopee
Public Utilities while undertaking the 1983 and 1984 contracts.
It appears that the existence of the annual contract, with

MEMO TO: John K. Anderson , City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Intern
RE: Amendment to the Cable Franchise Ordinance
DATE: February 26 , 1985
Introduction and Background
On August 7 , 1984 , the Shakopee City Council approved Resolution
No. 2288 . This resolution amended a previous resolution which
established the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory Commission.
The intent of the new resolution (No. 2288 , see attachment No. 1 )
was to delegate more responsibilities to the Cable Commission
in regard to cable related subject matter, i . e . subscriber com-
plaints , variance requests , etc .
With the passage of Resolution No . 2288 it became necessary
to amend the cable franchise ordinance . Attachment No . 2 is
that portion of the original cable franchise ordinance that
is in need of amendment. Attachment No . 3 shows those changes
to the ordinance as proposed by staff and the Shakopee Cable
Communications Advisory Commission . The City Attorney has reviewed
the proposed changes and believes they are in accordance with
Resolution No. 2288 . I have underlined the changes for your
convenience.
A public hearing was held on February 25 , 1985 before the Shakopee
Cable Communications Advisory Commission to receive comments
on the proposed amendment. At that time , Zylstra-United Cable
Manager, John Suranyi , stated that he felt that a variance request
should not need 4/5 approval of the Cable Communications Advisory
Commission . Mr . Suranyi has stated in a letter to the City
of Shakopee that this is the only area of the proposed amendment
in which he is in disagreement with. ( See attachment No . 4 . )
Upon discussion of the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory
Commission it was suggested that a variance could be approved
by a majority of those seated and qualified . The Cable Commission
also felt that decisions by the City Council in regard to appeals
should require a 2/3 vote of the Council of the City . The Cable
Communications Advisory Commission then moved to recommend to
City Council that Section 14 . 04 of the cable franchise ordinance
be amended as presented by City staff and discussed at the public
hearing .
In response to the Commission ' s action , staff requested the
City Attorney to draft the appropriate ordinance amending Section
14 . 04 of the Cable Franchise Ordinance . (See attachment No. 5 . )
Alternatives
1 . Approve Ordinance No. 164 which amends the cable franchise
ordinance as proposed by the Shakopee Cable Communications
Advisory Commission.
2 . Do not amend the cable franchise ordinance .
3 . Make additional changes to the proposed amendment and approve .
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends alternative No. 1 .
Action Requested
Move to approve Ordinance No . LEA which amends Shakopee City
Code , Chapter 15 , entitled "Cable Communications , Franchise
Ordinance" by repealing Section 14 . 04 entitled "Amendment of
Franchise and Variance" and by enacting a new Section 14 . 04
entitled "Amendment of Franchise and Variance" and by adopting

Dear Mr. Anderson:
On February 1st, 1985 I recieved a letteX from Mr. Barry A. Stock (Admin.
Assistant) regarding the Shakopee Cable Communications Advisory Commissions
(CCAC) proposal for variance to the Franchise Ordinance. I have recieved
the current Franchise Ordinance (Section 14.04, Amendment of Franchise and
Variance) along with the CCAC proposed ordinance change. The proposed
amendment would affect the authority the CCAC would have concerning any
variance requests proposed by Zylstra-United Cable television Company.
Since assuming management of the Z/U systems, I have only been in
attendance of one CCAC meeting (January) . But at that time, my evaluation
was that each member seemed to act in a very fair and professional manner.
It seems to me that these people spend alot of time evaluating Shakopee
Cable Television on a continual basis along with any changes or advances in
the CATV industry. So, at this time, my decision would be in favor of the
variance, since these people would be the most qualified to make a fair and
objective decision with regard to the CTV Franchise Ordinance.
My only disagreement would be in Section 14.04 (B,3,F) . The approval of
a variance should only need 3/5 approval of the CCAC to protect Z/U from
any absenteeism. If the 4/5 approval was implemented and a CCAC member was
absent, Z/U would need majority decision before approval of a variance.
I hope my input can be of some help and I am looking forward to working
with you in the future. If I may be of any help in the future, feel free
to call. Thank you.
Sincerely,
John B. Suranyi

RE: Property East of C . R. 17
South of Junior High School
Dear Mayor Reinke and
City Council Members :
Scottland Inc . is proud of its track record as a developer in
the City of Shakopee. In Shakopee, we have developed only
industrial land and the racetrack . In other cities , we have
developed multi-family homes and single family homes.
For years we have been studying the possibility of developing
quality multi-family homes in Shakopee. We have examined a lot
of parcels . We believe that we now have the right property and
this is the right time to bring quality multi-family homes to
Shakopee. We hope you will agree .
The purpose of this letter is to request the opportunity to
present a proposed development plan to the City Council at its
April 2nd , 1985 meeting and to summarize the planning and
factual reasons in support of a proposed development plan and
rezoning of the above-referenced property .
If the rezoning requested is approved , Scottland will finalize
the plans and specifications for these multi-family buildings
and begin Phase I construction of 3 buildings, of approximately
60 units each in August , 1985 . The buildings will be available
for rental in the spring of 1986 . Thereafter , Scottland will
proceed with the development of the remainder of the land as
market conditions warrant and after approval of the housing
types by the City . Scottland intends to remain as the general
partner and manager of the development once constructed . The
estimated cost of Phase I construction will be in excess of five
million dollars . This portion of the development will yield at
least $ 160 ,000 annually in additional property taxes.

Our development plan be presented by:
(a ) Tim Keane , AICP , who is the project manager for this
development will review with you the existing and proposed
rezoning of the property;
(b) John Shardlow, of Dahlgren , Shardlow and Uban , who is
our site and landscape planner . Who will review the planning
reasons which support this rezoning and development plan ; and
(c ) Paul Madson , lead architect for the development, a
member of the firm of Arvid Elness Architects Inc . Mr . Madson
will review the multi-family housing types we are using as our
models for the development of our final housing type to be
presented to you at the April 4 , 1985 meeting.
At the City Council meeting we would like to give you a short
presentation of our development plan which we have been
developing for several months so that we can answer any
questions you may have at the end of our presentation. We will
proceed with more detailed plans after we have received your
comments. We intend to file our formal application for rezoning
so that a public hearing can be held on the rezoning at the
Planning Commission meeting of May 9 , 1985 .
Please find attached the existing and proposed zoning for the 95
acre parcel located south of the Junior High School and east of
County Rd . 17 (the Property) . The rezoning pursuant to our
development plan proposes to downzone approximately 26 acres
from B- 1 Highway Commercial to R-4 High Density Residential and
rezone approximately 65 acres from R-2 Single Family Residential
to R-3 Medium Density Residential . Approximately 10 acres of
the Property would be dedicated to the City for storm drainage
facilities and 6 acres would remain B- 1 Highway Business .
There are sound planning reasons in support of the proposed
rezoning . These include:
1 . The site is ideal for multi-family home development because
it is presently well served with public services including
water , sanitary sewer , transportation facilities , schools ,
existing and proposed parks , and recreational opportunities .
2 . The development plan furthers attainment of policies and
objectives for affordable and moderate income housing
policies and objectives set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan .
3. The development plan will significantly increase the City ' s
housing stock of affordable housing for moderate income
households .
C,
Mayor Reinke and City Council Members
March 19 , 1985
Page 3
4 . The current rental housing vacancy rate is between .5%
and 1% . The proposed plan will meet immediate housing
needs in the City.
5 . The Property is bounded by existing and proposed significant
transportation systems :
(a) County Rd . 17 - minor arterial to the west
(b) 13th Avenue - collector street to the north
(c ) TH101 Bypass - intermediate arterial to the south
An examination of similar intersections elsewhere shows
that multi-family development is quite often the only
reasonable use for the property because highway noise
inhibits the development of single family homes . The
proposed commercial use at the corner of our property ,
adjacent R-41 and then R-3 zoning provides for an orderly
transition and buffer from the Bypass to R-2 use district .
6 . The rezoning to R-4 will only increase the high density
residential land in the City from 1 . 1 % to 1 . 3% of total land
area . We have reviewed the other R-4 zoned vacant property
in the City and find that the development of it is not suit-
able and feasible at this time for development of the high
quality multi-family units we propose.
7 . The Property is within the 1980-85 Urban Service Area .
8. The development plan will make a significant
contribution to the tax base .
9. The two high pressure gas mains cutting through the
Property pose significant barriers to low density
development . The cost to relocate the high pressure gas
mains is excessive and buildings must be clustered to permit
construction around the gas mains .
10 . Our marketing experts tell us that there is not now, or in
the foreseeable future, a market for the 40 acres of
business zoned property presently shown at this site .
Moreover , any commercial use would be along 13th Street at
the bypass intersection and would not extend deeper than 300
to 500 ft . The Comprehensive Plan reserves property
at this intersection which is more than sufficient to meet
the commercial land needs for the City . If this rezoning is
approved , there remains approximately 160 acres of vacant
land designated for commercial uses at this intersection .
Mayor Reinke and City Council Members
March 19, 1985
Page U
11 . Because of the present lower interest rates , and prediction
of higher interest rates in the immediate future , Scottland
Inc . projects a narrow "window of opportunity" to construct
high quality market rate rental housing at this time.
Because of high interest rates , no significant apartment
projects have been built in the Twin City area for 10
years . Scottland Inc . stands prepared to develop at this
time to meet immediate housing needs.
12. Scottland Inc . has interviewed dozens of the top residential
architects in the area. The architect chosen by Scottland
Inc . , Arvid Elness & Associates , has experience within the
City of Shakopee and will design the highest quality
affordable housing available in the City .
We respectfully request your comments and suggestions in
response to the proposed rezoning and development for the
Property.
Very truly yours ,
SCOTTLAND INC .

RE: Al DuBois Sewer Damage Claim
DATE: April 2, 1985
Introduction & Background
Al Dubois has had a series of sewer backups in his home. The
service line was dug up twice and the problem turned out to
be a design and construction error where the wye entered the
main. Transamerica, the city' s insurance company, paid Mr. DuBois
$280. 50 for damages to the interior of the house. The City
paid $2, 996. 00 in February to Mr. DuBois in order for him to
pay off a loan he took out to pay for the cost of digging up
the service line. Since the middle of February, it appears
that staff thought that Mr. Krass was following up with a final
resolution to the situation and Mr. Krass thought staff was.
Mr. Krass' letter of 2/12/85 states that he feels that the City
is liable for the costs incurred by Mr. DuBois and that he was
looking into insurance coverages that the City has in order
to pay for this.
Six weeks later, Mr. DuBois is still waiting for payment of
the balance of his costs. In this case, it appears that the
City is at fault by a design error and the property owner should
not have to wait for payment for the City to come to terms with
the insurance carrier.
I have been in contact with the issurance company today and
am following up with them. It looks like it will be difficult
to convince them that it is a compensable loss. Rod Krass is
out of town for a week.
The balance Mr. DuBois is requesting is for:
Interest on loan $86. 30
Driveway repair 350. 00
Landscaping repair 165. 00
Black dirt replacement _75. 00
Total $676. 30
Alternatives
1. Continue to delay payment intil determination is made by
insurance company.
2. Deny payment.
3. Make payment now let the City make settlement with insurance
company.
Recommendation

RE: 1985 Fire Pumper Payment
DATE: April ^c, 1985
Introduction & Background
The Council authorized purchase of a pumper and recommended
payment for the chassis when it was ready in order to save $3, 500.
The authorization was at the August 21, 1984 meeting. The chassis
is ready and scheduled to be picked up on 4/5/85. The body
manufacturer is requesting $69, 000 to pay for the chassis on
4/5/85 and therefore save the $3, 500 which is passed on to the
City in accordance with Council' s recommendation. We have a
performance bond for $168, 000 from the body manufacturer.
Action Requested

Inc. for the chassis for the 1985 fire pumper.
