John Anderson 129 East First Avenue Shakopee , Minnesota 55379 Dear John : Thank you for getting in touch with me about proposals to repeal the tax exemption for certain state and local bonds. It was thoughtful of you to share your concerns with me . As you know, in November 1984 , the Treasury Department announced a major tax reform proposal for the President to consider . After reviewing Treasury ' s proposal, the President made a number of changes and proposed a separate, comprehensive package for tax reform. While the thrust of the President ' s proposals is to apply lower tax rates to a larger amount of taxable income , one of the provisions of the President ' s package would make interest on certain state or local government bonds taxable. Under current law, interest paid on certain bonds issued by state and local governments is exempt from tax. As a result , state and local governments have used tax-exempt bonds to finance a wide variety of government activities, quasi-government activities, and essentially private enterprise activities . Tax-exempt student loan bonds, mortgage subsidy bonds, veterans' mortgage bonds, and industrial developments bonds (IDBs) are a few examples of the types of bonds that have been used. The Treasury Department believes these are "private purpose bonds" because the money raised by issuing the bonds -- the proceeds -- is used by private citizens or businesses instead of by the issuer of the bonds -- the government . The President' s proposal would effectively eliminate all "private purpose bonds. " Bonds would generally not qualify as tax-exempt -- and interest earned on the bonds would be taxable -- if more than one percent of the bond used by a non-government plan. The Administration believes that "private purpose bonds" provide an indirect federal subsidy that erodes the tax base, lowers tax collections, and results in higher tax rates on non-exempt income. In addition, the Administraticn believes that the generally lower interest rate on tax-exempt bonds gives people who use the bonds an unfair or competitive advantage over those who cannot obtain tax-exempt bond financing. Advocates of retaining tax-exempt "private purpose bonds" maintain that they are a necessary source of affordable, long-term, fixed-rate financing. They also maintain that IDBs December 9, 1985 Page 2 are important tools for economic development and that tax-exempt bonds for student loans , mortgages, and other similar purposes are really an investment that benefits the public . These and other arguments were made last year in opposition to legislation that imposed a state-wide dollar limitation on tax-exempt bonds . Unfortunately, that limitation was included by the House of Representatives and was not voted on separately in the Senate before becoming law . Even so, last year ' s tax bill made me very aware of the extent to which tax-exempt bonds are used in Minnesota and the effect of the dollar limitation in the state. You can be sure I will keep this in mind. The Constitution requires that tax bills originate in the House of Representatives . In late September of this year , the House Ways and Means Committee began "marking up" the President ' s tax proposals. On November 23 , the committee agreed on a comprehensive tax bill that adopted many of the President ' s proposals, but also departed in many ways from his plan . Under the committee bill, governments could issue fewer types of tax-exempt private purpose and quasi-governmental bonds. Bonds used to build sports stadiums , contruction trade show and other facilities would no longer be exempt . These bond-financed activities would retain tax-exempt status: multifamily rental housing, airports , ports, transit , sewage, water and solid waste facilities, qualified mortgages and veterans ' mortgages , student loans , hospitals and other nonprofits and certain industrial-development projects . The dollar amount of certain types bonds that could be issued in a state each year would continue to be limited, with additional types of bonds included in counting the amount of the limitation used. The Ways and Means Committee bill will now be considered by the full House, where I expect that changes will again be proposed. If a bill is passed by the full House, it will come before the Senate Finance Committee and then go to the full Senate for final consideration. It ' s likely that the Finance Committee and the Senate will each make further changes to the bill . In short , tax reform is far from complete and all of the Ways and Means proposals are subject to change. I have not yet concentrated on many of the specific provisions contained in the Ways and Means Committee bill . . . recently my energies have been devoted primarily to agricultural and budget matters. Instead, I have chosen to focus on the broader issue of whether we should attempt tax reform at the present time. In October, I was invited to testify before the Senate Finance Committee to give my views on tax reform. As I pointed out to the committee, since 1981 , Congress has been enacting complex and significant changes to the tax ' code at a dizzying pace. As a result, taxpayers are reeling. The ability to December 9, 1985 Page 3 adequately plan is being taken away, creating uncertainty and disruption. In addition , I told the committee that I do not believe we adequately understand and appreciate the impact that recent tax legislation has had on our economy. Finally, I told the committee that I do not believe we have given sufficient study to what the consequences of the President ' s tax proposals (or any other proposals for tax reform) may be for our economy . For these reasons and others, I believe that now is not the time to attempt tax reform. Instead, I believe Congress would be prudent to give taxpayers a chance to catch their breath from tax law changes and analyze the impact of past and proposed tax changes on our economy. Also, Congress must , as a higher priority, devote its attention to reducing budget deficits. I do not mean to imply that our present tax system does not need to be improved. It does. We need to lower the marginal tax rates and simplify the tax code. Lower rates will promote compliance, saving, investing, and the incentive to work . Lower rates will encourage decision-making based on economic , not tax merits . Incidentally, I think President Reagan goes too far when he says the tax code is "un-American" (so did President Carter when he said our tax code was a "disgrace" ) . Compared to what? It ' s not perfect but compared to other countries' tax codes, it ' s not bad. When you look to see how the income tax burden is distributed it comes out surprisingly different than some would have you believe. If you divide the 100-odd million taxpayers into four income groups ( lowest to highest ) , here ' s the percentage of the total income taxes paid by each group: Taxpayers Divided by Income Lowest Lower-Middle Upper-Middle Highest Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter 6/10th of 1% 6% 20% 73% So the people in the highest brackets do indeed pay most of the taxes -- and they should. Do some people avoid taxes -- in whole or part? Sure . Should we fix that? Of course we should. But it ' s not as easily done as it sounds. Incidentally, I ' m enclosing a Wall Street Journal article about who pays the taxes. Note that the top 1 .4 percent of the taxpayers pay 22 percent of all the taxes. The taxes that are regressive and really penalize the working poor are Social Security and sales taxes. They go from dollar number one of income -- there are no personal exemptions or deductions like on the income tax. December 9, 1985 Page 4 We must particularly encoura e ng. During the last decade, saving in the United St es has en nearly the lowest percentage of any of the indu rialized na ions. Promoting saving is essential to provid the capital ool for future growth. Anyway , your comments w 11 be helpful to me as tax reform measures are considered down ere. Becau of the comprehensive nature of tax reform, I ' m sur we ' ll be touch in the future .

However, I believe that the President makes a mistake in calling the system unfair and un-American. There are many positive things which can be said about our present system: 1 . The system' s various incentives for capital formation and investment have benefited our economy as a whole -- in the past 10 years , 23 million new jobs have been created in the United States versus none ( 0 ! ) in the European Economic Community in that period. 2 . As intended , our system is progressive . Currently, the lowest quarter of all income earners pay only 6/10th of one percent of individual income taxes. The next lowest quarter pays 6 percent of individual income taxes , the upper middle quarter of income earners pays 20 percent of individual income taxes , and the highest quarter of income earners pays 73 percent of all individual income taxes collected. I am in favor of making the tax system more simple , lowering rates , providing incentives for capital formation , placing a premium and not a penalty on savings , and decreasing not increasing capital gains , perhaps by one-half . While I thus acknowledge that our present tax system can be improved , I do not believe that now is the proper time to attempt tax reform. Additionally, I have several specific concerns with the approach taken by the most frequently discussed reform proposals . With respect to whether now is the correct time for tax reform, I would point out to this Committee that, since 1981 , Congress has been enacting complex and significant changes to the tax code at a dizzying pace. In 1981 , we enacted the Economic Recovery Tax Act , which cut taxes. In 1982, we enacted the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which raised taxes. In 1983 , we repealed part of the 1982 tax increase. In 1984 , we enacted the Tax Reform Act of 1984 , which increased taxes . Later in 1984, we revised the complex imputed interest rules added to the Code by the Tax Reform Act of 1984. In 1985, we have acted twice. First , we repealed the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1984 with respect to the requirement for automobile logs. Second, we made permanent the imputed interest rules of the Tax Reform Act of 1984 as modified by the subsequent 1984 enactment. In addition , since 1982 , Congress has also enacted the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 and made changes in laws for Chapter "S" corporations. As a result of these changes to the tax code , taxpayers are reeling. The ability to adequately plan is being taken away, creating uncertainty and disruption. In addition, I do not believe that we fully understand and appreciate the impact that the pace of tax legislation has had on our economy. For instance , it has been suggested that we have influenced consumers to spend more and save less . At a minimum, we have negatively impacted on the public' s perception and acceptance of our tax system. - 2 - It is with this in mind that we should analyze present proposals for tax reform. I believe that a number of hard questions must be asked about any proposal for tax reform -- what will be the impact of the proposal on our economy? on capital formation? on savings? While I support lower rates , it must be understood that as rates are lowered, the value of "tax preferred" assets as well as decisions and investments such as the purchase of real estate and charitable giving will decrease . What will be the impact on the economy? We must also consider the magnitude of the redistribution of capital which would be caused by the President' s proposal . For the period from Fiscal Year 1986 to Fiscal Year 1990 the President ' s proposal would , it is estimated , result in $486 billion of individual tax cuts and $354 billion in individual tax increases. On the corporate side , it is estimated that the President' s proposal would result in $195 billion of corporate tax cuts and $313 billion of tax increases. Put another way, a total of $1. 3 trillion is involved ( $486+$354+$195+$313 ) , over $800 billion on the individual side, $500 billion on the corporate side. In relative terms , this is 5 percent of our estimated Gross National Product for the same 5-year period, and 50 percent of estimated income tax collections over the same 5-year period. Finally, we must also ask ourselves how any new tax proposal will interact with the prior tax changes which we have enacted and with trade , farm, and other legislation now pending . Again, I am in favor of improving the tax system. However, I believe that improvement must come slowly. Appropriate questions must be answered in advance so that the economy is not disrupted. We must give taxpayers a chance to catch their breath. Finally, and most importantly, our efforts must be directed toward the deficit. In that regard, we must understand that as the deficit is reduced , economic activity will be dampened. If , in conjunction with reducing the deficit, we eliminate various deductions , credits and exclusions which provide incentives to our economy, we will further dampen economic activity. As to the current proposals for tax reform, I agree wholeheartedly with the concept that we need to lower marginal rates and simplify the tax code. Lower rates will promote compliance , saving , investing , and the incentive for working. Lower rates will also encourage decision-making based on economic merits , not tax merits. History has shown us that _ lowering rates will raise collections from high income earners. I am also in agreement with the concept contained in the President ' s proposal that we should not tax those who are at or below the poverty level . To do so forces a low income person into deciding between earning a few more dollars , paying some of the earnings to the federal government , and losing welfare benefits , or, not earning more money and being allowed to retain welfare benefits. We thus force low income earners to make the unhappy decision of choosing between the dignity and self-esteem of a paying job or accepting welfare benefits (which actually leaves them with more money) . However, the current proposals do not allow sufficient opportunity to plan and adjust for the changes they would impose. Immediate imposition of rate reductions and immediate loss of deductions , exclusions , and credits confiscates value , penalizes those who have relied upon prior provisions , and is disruptive. In that regard, I oppose any lengthening of depreciation periods and predict that indexing of asset values will not survive either the House or the Senate. - 3 - I would propose that , instead of an immediate reduction in tax rates and an immediate elimination of certain deductions , exclusions , and credits , we eliminate the indexing of brackets for inflation and, instead, phase in any new system by indexing tax rates downward by inflation or some other measure which would provide graduated rate reductions . For example, assume the following tax brackets and rates: Tax Bracket Rate $10 ,000-12,000 16% 12, 000-14 ,000 18% 14 ,000-16 ,000 20% 16 ,000-18 ,000 22% If the rate of inflation was 10 percent , then rates could be adjusted as follows : Tax Bracket Rate $10 , 000-12,000 15% 12 ,000-14 ,000 17% 14, 000-16 ,000 19% 16 ,000-18 ,000 21% This proposal would allow taxpayers to adjust to decreasing tax rates. In addition, to simplify our tax code and "pay for" lower rates , again in a manner which will give taxpayers time to adjust , I would propose that we phase out pre-selected tax preference items as the top marginal tax rate is reduced. For instance , as the top marginal tax rate was reduced to 44 percent , we could eliminate a pre-selected group of deductions , exclusions , and credits. Another pre-selected group of credits, exclusions and deductions would be eliminated when the top marginal rate was 38 percent , and so on. I have handed the Chairman and other members of the Committee two articles : "The Redistributionist Tax Reduction" and "Taxes , Inflation and the Rich. " I would also recommend to this Committee the article in the July 21 , 1985 edition of the New York Times regarding the "Tax-Standstill Act. " While perhaps written with tongue-in-cheek, the article ' s suggestion to limit changes to the tax code merits consideration. I want to emphasize that any new proposals should and must encourage capital formation. Studies have consistently shown that savings in the United States has been among , if not, the lowest of all industrialized nations. We must develop incentives in our tax code to encourage capital formation. We should consider removing all taxes on savings . In summary, I believe that , at the present time , the best proposal for tax reform is to do nothing. The less we do with the tax code , the better. Because, in the end Mr. Chairman, the country that taxes the least taxes the most fairly; the country that puts the greatest emphasis on capital formation will contribute the most to its economy. 998 November 1985 a F I LE: Financial Specialists: Ehlers and Associates, Inc. Please distribute to governing body members Christmas, 1985 NEWSLETTER Greetings from all of us after a most exciting and busy year. This is the time of the year to reflect. Especially now, for this should be a time to think about what we are, what we want to be, what we want our communities to be, to believe that we can do what we want to do, and to make the commitment. A number of books --- some new, some old, some very old -- say that we are not bound by our parentage, by our life experience or by our circumstances, but that we can improve ourselves and achieve our goals if we believe and if we try. If we want to build a better community, if we believe in ourselves, and if we dedicate ourselves to the task, it will happen. Make this season a time to make a new start, a time to cast off old limits, a time to make new commitments. A Merry and Joyful Holiday Season to each of you from each of us.

Commissioners Abeln and Davis were absent. Barry Stock, Administrative Intern and Dan Schaefer, Zylstra-United Chief Technician were also present. Harrison/Moonen moved to approve the minutes of August 26 , 1985 , September 23 , 1985 and October 28 , 1985 as kept. I•lotion carried unanimously. Cable Consultant ' s Final Report Mr. Stock reported to the Commission that the consulting firm of Cooper/Rutter had completed the financial analysis of the Shakopee/Chaska cable system. He went on to state that earlier in the day staff from Shakopee and Chaska had met to discuss the findings presented and the report. Staff members from each community were in agreement that the report was fairly basic in nature. Mr. Stock then commented that the report in his opinion did legitimize the fact that the cable company is in- deed in need of some kind of financial support. He further stated that the report did seem to indicate that the sale of the system was not an adequate alternative for the City of Shakopee to consider. Commissioner Moonen then expressed his concern that he was not in agreement with the consultant in regard to the sale of the system. He further stated that in his opinion the consultant glossed over many things . He did feel however that the claims of the company were legitimized. Commissioner Moonen then questioned the consultant ' s statement that the institutional network should be self sustaining. Commis- sioner Moonen further questioned whether or not the institutional network was set up to be self sustaining or if it could ever be self sustaining. Chairman Anderson stated that he believed the company' s involvement in the I-Net was limited to providing hook ups to each institution and modulators and demodulators to activate the various channels . Commissioner Harrison added that the maintenance of the line was also an obligation of the cable company. Mr. Stock then informed the Commissioners of the school ' s intentions in regard to the institutional network. He informed the committee that the school had received a grant to do interactive cable between the Shakopee schools and the Chaska schools as well as the Scott-Carver Cooperative Center. Eventually the schools also plan on being interactive with the Hennepin County Vo-Tech. Mr. Stock then informed the Commissioners that Ron Ward, Shakopee Schools Technology Coordinator was going to provide the City with a list of the equipment that he felt was necessary to activate r� the I-Net in a fashion which would meet their needs. Discussion then followed on what the company was obligated to do as far as the institutional network and their original proposal. Discussion then turned to what alternatives the City of Shakopee could realistically pursue in resolving Zylstra-United' s financial problems . Mr. Stock then informed the Commission members that in the earlier meeting that day with officials from Chaska, there seemed to be consensus that the number one issue to be discussed in these negotiations is the public access function. The primary reason behind this logic, was the fact that the majority of our existing franchise fee is being dedicated to access . At that point, there seemed to be consensus among the Commission members that the preservation of public access and a studio in Shakopee was very important for our community. Discussion then moved on to the subject of how the access studio could be staffed. Chairman Anderson then stated that he has always felt that access should be turned over to the Access Corporation and run by them. Discussion then centered around the various alternatives for staffing the studio. Alternatives discussed included, sharing one access manager between the cities of Chaska and Shakopee, sharing one access manager and hiring an intern for each individual community, entering into a contract arrangement with some individual or company who would provide access staffing in return for use of the studio or simply putting the Access Corporation in charge of all studio related responsibilities. Mr. Stock then added that at bear minimum the City of Shakopee should consider sharing joint play back operations with Chaska. There was consensus among the Committee members that there would be obvious cost savings by pursuing that alternative. Commission member Moonen expressed his concern over sharing a studio manager with Chaska. He felt that such an arrangement would eventually lead to a dog fight between the two communities. Chairman Anderson stated that he also had a concern with how the studio managers staff time would be allocated between the two communities . Discussion then moved to the area of studio financing. Several alternatives for financing were discussed including advertising on the public access or leased access channel, studio rental, the franchise fee, and a x . 25 per month subscriber fee. Discussion followed on the ramifications of combining the two tiers of basic service. There was consensus among the Committee members present that it would be up to the cable company if they wanted to combine the two tiers of basic service and that the Committee members did not really have a problem with that proposal . Mr. Stock then informed the Committee that a special meeting with the Chaska Cable Commission has been set for December 9 , 1985 at 7 : 00 p.m. in the Chaska Middle School. The purpose of the meeting is to try to establish a common set of modifications for the two communities and also to review the cable consultants report. At that meeting a member of Cooper-Rutter Association will be present to answer questions in regard to the report. cl Commissioner Harrison then proposed an alternative for moving the existing character generator to Community Services and purchasing a portable modulator rather than another character generator. Discussion ensued. Mr. Stock then presented the public access monthly report, the cable television monthly report and the cable television service report for August, September and October. The Commissioners reviewed the reports. Harrison/Moonen moved to adjourn the meeting_ at 9 : 10 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. The next will be held on December 9, 1985, at 7 : 00 p.m. in the Chaska Middle School. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION SPECIAL SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 2, 1985 Chrm. Czaja called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with Comm. Schmitt, Lane and Stoltzman present. Comm. VanMaldeghem, Pomerenke and Rockne were absent. Also present were Jeanne Andre, Community Development Dir- ector; John K. Anderson, City Admr. and Cncl. Lebens. Lane/Stoltzman moved to approve the agenda as printed. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - HOUSING ALLIANCE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Schmitt/Lane moved to open the public hearing regarding the request by the Housing Alliance, Inc. to consider a conditional use permit to con- struct 44 units of multi-family housing for senior citizens. Motion car- ried unanimously. The Comm. Develop. Dir, stated this conditional use permit application will be appealed to City Council and heard tomorrow night, no matter what the decision is by the Planning Commission. Because the planning issues need to be resolved before the consideration of the tax increment finan- cing by the City Council, this will be heard tomorrow night rather than waiting the 7 days for an appeal. Rosemary Dineen, of the Housing Alliance, showed some slides depicting various other projects they have been involved in in other communities, some for seniors and some subsidized. She showed the style of building they are proposing for Shakopee. Mr. Larry Smith, of the Housing Alliance, showed on a slide the location of the proposed project and pointed out the architecture proposed which is a combination farmhouse, with Victorian detailing, which they feel will fit into this City and neighborhood. He showed the landscape plan with plenty of buffering planned and pointed out the location of the proposed restaurant, hair dresser shop and accesses. He highlighted the amenities such as garden plots, patios and porches, at-grade and under-ground park- ing, and proximity to retail areas, churches and hospital. The Comm. Develop. Dir, went over the staff recommendation for approval with four conditions. Because the proposal is on previously platted land, no park dedication fee is required. Chrm. Czaja asked for comments from the audience in favor of this proposal. Sister Agnes Otting, Executive Director of St. Francis Medical Center, stated she is in favor of this project because she believes this community needs a facility of this type--for those seniors who do not need nursing Jaid i�.0 IJCc i.�c.lail ilC ,a.u:�.ibJlUi December 2, 1985 Page 2 home care, but who can't live in their own homes any longer. The applicant has demonstrated to her this is possible in this kind of building they are proposing. Negotiations are under way for St. Francis to provide ser- vices to the seniors such as counseling, 24-hour R.N. inf_,rmation line, exercise programs, social programs, wellness programs, etc. , on a contract basis. She passed out a possible list of services with the approximate costs. She thinks this type of program will maintain the independency of seniors as long as possible. They will have available a general service package and a customized package for those who need more help. She com- mented that some may think the cost is high, but it is a lot less than full nursing home care. Doris Dunlap, 620 Bluff Avenue, addressed the petition she circulated which showed interest in senior citizen housing. She said she got a great variety of names and occupations who signed the petition, agreeing there is a great need for this project. She feels strongly that their signatures are just as good as them personally attending this hearing in support. Lane/Stoltzman moved to enter into the record the petition circulated by Doris Dunlap in support of senior citizen housing in Shakopee, attached and made a part hereof. Motion carried unanimously. Chrm. Czaja asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in opposition to this project. Mel Lebens, 538 West 4th Avenue, said he believes his wife, Cncl. Lebens, made their position clear at the last City Council meeting, which was sub- sequently reported in the Shakopee Valley News. He said he is concerned with the procedure used, and asked who had signed the application for the permit. The Comm. Develop. Dir. responded that Larry Smith, Vice-President of Housing Alliance, signed it. Mr. Lebens read the definition of a conditional use from the City Code and quoted from Local and Environmental Planning in Minnesota, by Gunner Isberg stating that conditional uses must be compatible with the uses generally already allowed in the district, and that conditional uses may lead to spot zoning if issued indiscriminately without sufficient standards. He also read his definition of spot zoning. Mr. Lebens thinks a conditional use is skirting the issue of rezoning. Mr. Lebens said he was on the City Council in 1953 when he established the Planning Commission. He also served on the Metropolitan Planning Commis- sion for 6 years and served on the Shakopee Planning Commission. Chrm. Czaja asked if Mr. Lebens had seen the listed criteria for issuing a con- ditional use permit. Mr. Lebens responded that he is familiar with them, but those are only general and he wants to deal with the specific zone. Mr. Lebens read the City Code which lists Multiple Dwelling Structures as a conditional use in a Central Business District (CBD), but does not list any standards. Mr. Isberg's book states a conditional use must list the standards. Mr. Lebens said a unit of this size should be put on 176,000 square feet, which is a block and a half according to the requirements for multiple dwelling units. He thinks it should be rezoned to R-4 to allow it in this space. He added the front yard setback also doesn't .i1GL.v F'�-• _ ivaa aai ab v�......i C.v r..„ December 2, 1985 Page 3 meet code. He is concerned with putting possibly 88 people in that unit without anything to do or any place to go. He thinks the codifiers over- looked this listing of multiple dwelling structures because it is not defined and is an inconsistency. He said this was adopted when he was City Admr. and allowed because of the second story dwellings in the down- town area, and only when in conjunction with a business. A multiple dwelling structure is not the same as a multi-family unit. Mr. Lebens said the Code specifies the developer must provide proof of ownership of the property. Therefore, Mr. Smith cannot make application on Mr. Wampach and Mr. Gestach's property. He believes this is an illegal action which is out of order and he will take it to court. The Comm. Develop. Dir. stated the existing senior highrise was in a B-3 zone and was considered under this same Code for multi-family housing. She added it was the opinion of the Ass't City Attorney that because the property was in a redevelopment area and the City Council has expressed a willingness to look at condemnation so the applicant could acquire the property, it was acceptable for the applicant to make the application. Chrm. Czaja asked for opinions around the table regarding the procedure. Comm. Lane said he is in favor of the project as it conforms to the Comp Plan of the City and would serve as an excellent buffer between the resi- dential and businesses. Mr. Lebens said he is in favor of the project too, but only if zoned pro- perly. He said it would be beautiful in the right place and under the right circumstances. He added the other highrise didn't concern him so he didn't speak up, but this one concerns his pocketbook so it is a dif- ferent story. Comm. Lane added he is comfortable with the procedure used. Comm. Schmitt, Stoltzman and Chrm. Czaja all expressed they are comfortable with the hold- ing of this public hearing. Mr. Lebens agreed it was reasonable to lean on the City Council's motion to consider condemnation for the property. He read from information that was included in the City Council agenda packet which states this project is a draft copy only and developer reserves the right to change and modify as they deem necessary. Then this must be just a trial balloon, and why hold a hearing. Mr. Lebens asked about the costs listed for streetscape improvements and the extent of the improvements. The Comm. Develop. Dir. responded that issue is not before the Planning Commission, but she explained that in the development process the applicant proposes to the City the improvements they would like and the estimated costs, which have been included in the development district. However, negotiations are under way and have not been finalized. The costs are an estimate provided by herself based on the concept plan with 25% assessment to the property owners, estimated at $10,000 per lot. This does not mean the streetscape improvements would ✓a♦c'.i��JYCC 11Giiia il+b \.Vl.....l Ju.i.Vl: December 2, 1985 Page 4 occur at any specific time. There is a separate process involved for the streetscapes with public hearings before any assessments would be levied. She further clarified this hearing tonight is only for the planning and zoning issues of whether or not a conditional use permit should be granted. Chrm. Czaja explained tonight's hearing was a special call primarily be- cause of the need of the applicant to meet bonding deadlines and other issues to be dealt with by City Council following the resolution of the planning issues. Mr. Lebens read the motion from the minutes of the City Council, November 6, 1985 to pay up to $250,000 for the property for this proposal. That would amount to $7.40 per square foot for the land. He said in 1980 in a Court action of adjacent properties the land was valued at $1.75 for his property and $1.25 for the larger parcels. According to State law property value must be based on sales ratio in the area. He was told if there were no other sales in the area in 2 years, this sale would af- fect their property materially. The difference in land value from $1.372 average to $7.40 is 5 times. If his property value goes up even 3 times it would cost over $1,000 per year. He clarified he and his wife are the fee title owners, with their sons having a contract for the property. Mr.. Lebens thinks the business that is there is a real asset to the com- munity, but it is not a high profit operation. In addition to this is the Housing Alliance's demand to do something about the storm sewer, which will be another assessment. He stated there hasn't been any prob- lem with the storm water. Mr. Lebens continued there is also the streetscape issue, which he is sure is going to go in all around the block, and which will be $70 a foot and doesn't belong around a humble upholstery shop. He doesn't think he will even be able to sell the business if the taxes go so high. When taxes go up, the value of the property goes down. Mr. Lebens continued speak- ing regarding the country's lack of honesty and obsession with greed. Schmitt/Stoltzman moved to limit this presentation to 5 more minutes. Chrm. Czaja said he wanted to give everyone a chance to speak to the issue of the conditional use permit. Mr. Lebens objected to his freedom of speech being limited. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Lebens stated this is an illegal motion and can't be done in a pub- lic hearing and the Commissioners were leaving themselves open to risk. Schmitt/Lane moved for a five minute recess at 8:14 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Chrm. Czaja called the meeting back to order at 8:20 p.m. Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any other comments in opposition to the project. Lorraine Ries, 220 West 3rd, stated she is not against the project, but she would like it done according to City codes and laws. She has pro- perty across the street and on Atwood. She was told the taxes wouldn't go up, but she knows better. She thinks the property naturally will go up if a new expensive building goes in. All the people in the block across from there are older retired people who can't afford to go into this building because of the high rent. She said they can't even sell Shakopee Planning Commission December 2, 1985 Page 5 their homes because they are old homes with high taxes. She doesn't be- lieve the City should buy the property and give it to the developers-- no one gave her a lot to build on. Joan Wagner, of Minnetonka, is representing her mother who lives on the block. She believes the taxes on her mother's home would increase once this big building is built. The Commission's response is they didn't know that--this hearing is just for the planning issue and they have no background in the tax and financing for the project. The Comm. Develop. Dir. further explained that the streetscape project is planned for all of downtown whether or not this project goes in. She will potentially be dealing with that in the future. The new sewer sys- tem is for the whole City also. However, the City Engineer advised them it would not be prudent to build without the construction of the sewer system. The applicant did not come in and request this sewer system. She is afraid with increased taxes they will not be able to sell her mother's house. She located the house for the Commissioners. Comm. Schmitt referenced the memo received from the Scott County Assessor's office dated November 25, 1985 which states a sale of this nature would not be considered in the sales ratio. He added that from his knowledge in working with the school referendum, the property across the street from this proposal is in a different zone, and therefore would not be affected by this project in the CBD. The house would only be affected by sales in its own zone. He would suggest a more definitive answer from legal counsel and the assessor. Ms. Wagner asked who is going to manage this building. Mr. Smith replied they are negotiating the terms of a management contract with St. Francis Medical Center so if that is successfully completed, it would be the manager. Cncl. Lebens said Mr. Wampach made it clear what he wanted for his pro- perty, and the City Council motion was to seek another appraisal, as the one appraisal did not please Mr. Wampach. The motion is to use the up- coming Peter Patchin appraisal or $250,000, whichever is lower. She said the only way she would try to convince the City Council to proceed would be through condemnation proceedings, where the Court would set the cost. She thinks the Commissioners are not following the laws. Karen Lebens, 207 Atwood, which is above 205 Atwood, said she is not aware of the criteria for issuing a conditional use permit, so doesn't feel she can address it. She said she is not against senior housing, but she does have a few objections. She does know it is illegal to limit public com- ment at a public hearing. She is a Court Reporter for Hennepin County and has sat in meetings for hours to allow everyone to have their say. Chrm. Czaja gave her a copy of the criteria and said he would come back to her for comments later in the evening. Ms. Wagner asked if there would be another public hearing if this project goes though and the developer wants to do Phase 2. Comm. Schmitt responded that would require a conditional use permit and another public hearing. She said Phase 2 contemplates condemning and taking her mother's home. She said that is her home and she has lived on that block only for her en- tire life. This whole process is creating quite a turmoil. December 2, 1985 Page 6 The Comm. Develop. Dir, recalled that several months ago when she talked with Ms. Wagner's mother, she was in favor of selling her property and would like to go into the home. She added the staff report and criteria are contained in the public file for the information of the aidience. Ms. Karen Lebens addressed criteria no. 1 which has to find the proposed use is not injurious and will not impair the property value in the imme- diate vicinity. She differs with the memo from the County Assessor. She understands the land is not yet condemned and it is possible to come to a mutually agreed upon sale price before condemnation takes place. This would be different than what is addressed in the memo from the County Assessor and that sale would be taken into consideration in establishing the sales ratio. Ms. Lebens said they were first told the streetscapes will not necessarily go in, but the Downtown Committee does hope these streetscapes will go in with the project, which means the assessment throughout the block. Even if the sewer project was planned before, if this project wasn't going in the sewer might not go in for some time. She -said these taxes are her main concern, which are injurious to their property, so it has to be looked at in conjunction with the conditional use permit. If it injures them so much they have to leave and can't sell, or have to take a loss, what good does that do the City? Chrm. Czaja asked if there was anyone else who wanted to speak for the project. Virgil Mears stated he has served on the committee to work with the Hous- ing Alliance when they were making the study. At that time they asked for input from the public and they had many meetings to which people didn't come. Overall, as a community the City needs to be advancing and meeting the changing needs of the people. This is an item whose time has come, and its a project the City needs. The location is desirable because of the proximity of amenities within walking distance. The pluses have to be weighed against the minuses and he thinks from that standpoint it would be a good project that the City needs and wants. Chrm. Czaja asked if there was anyone else in the audience who wished to speak to this issue, and there was no response. Comm. Schmitt suggested the criteria be dealt with as part of the public hearing. He said the City is dealing with a conditional use permit for multiple family housing under a environment for which the City has already set precedent; and therefore, the issue is primarily whether or not the conditional use itself, not the sale of property, will be injurious to . the use and enjoyment of other property owners or impair property values. He said he has heard nothing from the audience that tells him this use will injure this property or the adjoining property. He asked if anyone disagreed with that. Mel Lebens said that up to 88 older persons will be housed in that unit. He doesn't know why the size of the land changes from R-4 when it is placed downtown. He thinks the old men with nothing to do will come over and pester his sons working in the business. Therefore the use of that pro- perty will create a nuisance in the neighborhood. He asked again why it December 2, 1985 Page 7 Y requires less land area when it is put downtown than the ordiance requires out in the country in R-4. The ordinance requires 176,000 square feet for that structure. Comm. Schmitt responded it is the same basis for approv- ing the Levee Drive highrise. Mr. Lebens doesn't think anyone is happy at Levee Drive either. The Comm. Develop. Dir. clarified that there is no density requirement in the B-3 zone. Doris Dunlap said she knows a lot of people who live at Levee Drive and they have learned the best way to cross the street and no one has been hurt and they are very happy there. Comm. Schmitt clarified that this application is for 44 units, and if the restaurant didn't go and they wanted to convert that area to housing, it would have to come back for an amendment. Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any other comments. Karen Lebens asked about emergency procedures in case of fire. Chrm. Czaja pointed out the review and approval of the fire chief, with condi- tions. Anthony Berens, 911 Lewis, asked about the size of the restaurant and the adequacy of the parking. He said when the St. Paul House existed they had a parking problem and most of the customers parked in his lot. He also asked if there would be a change in parking to parallel on Fuller. He asked if they would be issued a liquor license. He stated he is for the project, but he just has these questions. Mr. Smith responded they have employed Barton-Aschman to do a traffic and parking study, which he passed around to the Commissioners. This summar- izes the adequacy of the parking. They asked for the parking lot to accomo- date the restaurant. Schmitt/Stoltzman moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Schmitt/Stoltzman offered Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. 439 for the construction of 44 units of multi-family housing for seniors, named Depot Place Apartments, and moved it be forwarded to City Council for reconsideration without comment on the part of the Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously. Schmitt/Stoltzman moved that the Planning Commission finds that a project of this nature is not in conflict with the Comp Plan. Motion carried unanimously. The Comm. Develop. Dir. informed the audience this issue will be taken up by City Council tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. December 2, 1985 Page 8 OTHER BUSINESS Comm. Schmitt showed a newspaper ad for a retail business being conducted in a building recently rezoned to industrial. Schmitt/Lane moved to direct staff to begin an immediate investigation of the retail business being conducted in the Bankers Life building in an I-1 zone, in violation of the ordinance. He would recommend both the current renter and Bankers Life be notified. Motion carried unani- mously. Lane/Schmitt moved to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting ad- journed at 9:17 p.m. Jeanne Andre Community Development Director Diane S. Beuch Recording Secretary PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 5,1985 Chrm. Czaja called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. with Comm. Lane, VanMaldeghem and Schmitt present. Comm. Pomerenke, Rockne and Stoltz- man were absent. Also present were Judi Simac, City Planner and Cncl. Lebens. Lane/Schmitt moved to approve the agenda as printed. Motion carried unanimously. Schmitt/Lane moved to approve the minutes of November 7, 1985 as kept. Motion carried with Comm. VanMaldeghem abstaining because of her ab- 4, Bence. . Comm. VanMaldeghem informed the Commissioners that she may have to leave early because of her lack of physical strength at this point. PUBLIC HEARING - VALLEYFAIR VARIANCE REQUEST . Lane/Schmitt moved to open the public hearing regarding the request by Valleyfair for a variance of 40 feet from front-yard setback re- quirements and building materials, to construct new grandstand-type seating for the Amphitheater. Motion carried unanimously. The City Planner said she has received no submittals from the applicant. Walt Wittmer, Vice-President of Valleyfair, gave some background on the request and the concerns expressed at the last meeting. Bob Oswood, for Valleyfair, explained in detail the proposed sound system for the amphitheater, which will be directed more towards the audience, rather than just straight out from the stage as it is cur- rently. Also, with a back on the seats, that will prevent noise from going out to other areas. The low frequency system will be located underneath the stage. He said in the future they will not allow bands to use their own equipment; they will have to go through Valleyfair's sound system. They have added a compressor eliminator, which sets the maximum loudness the system will produce. He said they don't want the sound level higher for the audience than is safe, they don't want excess sound to carry to other parts of the park, and they don't want it to disturb other areas outside the park. Mr. Wittmer went over the landscape plan as shown on an architectural rendering. They will put in at least 7, and up to 12, evergreens at least 15 feet high, along with re-locating the 5 evergreens now there, placing them closer to the back of the bleachers. A berm will also be constructed behind the bleachers, to a height of 8 feet. The bleachers are called closed face bleachers, in the natural aluminum color, The berm will be just within the fence line. December 5, 1985 Page 2 Mr. Wittmer said there is a fence all along the property line, so there will not be any access underneath the bleachers. They also have security personnel during concerts. The fence will not extend over the property line. Chrm. Czaja asked if there was anvone in the audience who wished to address this item, and there was no response. Discussion followed regarding applying the noise ordinance at this lo- cation. The City Planner read the language from the ordinance, giving the limitation of 75-80 dba, which is based on the time of day, as heard from adjacent buildings of 50 feet distant from the site. Schmitt/Lane moved to close the public hearing. . Motion carried unani- mously. The City Planner suggested the two conditions recommended at the last meeting regarding the hold harmless agreement and submittal of land- scape plans, with no plantings in the right-of-way. She added she is comfortable with the landscape plan submitted tonight. Schmitt/Lane offered Variance Resolution No. 432, allowing a variance of 40 feet from the front yard setback requirements and building mat- erials for Valleyfair, and moved its adoption subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall record an agreement to hold the city harm- less from granting the variance, prior to issuance of a build- ing permit. 2. The applicant shall submit a landscape plan with the proposed planting schedule of evergreens, to screen the grandstand, to be approved by the City Planner prior to issuance of a building permit. The applicant shall plant the evergreens within the 10 foot setback and not in Mn/DOT right-of-way. 3. The applicant shall install a directional sound system which will satisfy the rules and regulations established by the Shakopee noise ordinance, to be measured at a distance of approximately 50 feet, or the highway right-of-way. 4. Natural screening to be maintained at a 12 foot minimum height. Motion carried unanimously. Comm. Schmitt requested the City Planner to inform applicants that if necessary information is not submitted prior to the mailing of the agenda package, testimony will be taken at the meeting, but no action will be moved on the request. The City Planner suggested adding this requirement to the formal policy adopted last year. She will bring back the entire policy for review and amendment at the next meeting. Lane/Schmitt moved to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting ad- journed at 8:00 p.m. Judi Simac City Planner Diane S. Beuch Recording Secretary r PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 5,1985 Chrm. Czaja called the meeting to order at 8:00 p.m. with Comm. Lane, VanMaldeghem and Schmitt present. Comm. Stoltzman arrived later, and Comm. Rockne and Pomerenke were absent. Also present were Judi Simac, City Planner, John K. Anderson, City Admr. and Cncl. Lebens. Lane/VanMaldeghem moved to approve the agenda with additions of items c through e to the Informational Items. Motion carried unanimously. Schmitt/Lane moved to approve the minutes of November 7, 1985. Motion carried with Comm. VanMaldeghem abstaining because of her absence. PUBLIC HEARING - CHERNE CONTRACTING CORP. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Schmitt/VanMaldeghem moved to open the public hearing regarding the re- quest by Cherne Contracting Corp. for a conditional use permit to con- struct a shop/warehouse and conduct outside storage of equipment. Motion carried unanimously. The City Planner went over the background and considerations of this application. Staff recommendation is for approval with conditions. Dan Johnson, Vice-President of Cherne Contracting Corp. , said they are in agreement with the conditions as outlined by staff, with the possible exception of the required screening along the north property line. He said they are also very sensitive to the aesthetics of their proposal. Mr. Johnson said they have increased the size of the area required for holding ponds along CR89, leaving the area natural, which has created a very dense woods for screening. They will submit a berming plan with the required plantings on the south side. Mr. Johnson showed sketch plans of the building and explained the changes they have made to the building to give it more depth and interest, and to break up the length. The planned berming will also cover up some of the long wall. Mr. Johnson said they would be willing to bring the plantings around the northwest corner to screen the railroad building. The area they are objecting to is the plantings along the rest of the north boundary line. He said their property is 2-5 feet below the elevation of the railroad bed and across that is just the back yards of other industries, which are not screened and are not offensive to them. The plantings as proposed by staff in this location would greatly cut back on their storage space for van trailers and other equipment. Because of the NSP easement there is a large area that can only be used for storage. ✓. c...I.YL'� _ .amu....i._b �.J.u...a.JJi.... December 5, 1985 Page 2 The City Planner explained that this lot is a little less than 20 acres, but it was platted before the current ordinance was in effect. Discussion continued regarding the water and septic system. Mr. Johnson said he would like to put in City water, but it is an economic factor that has to be looked at. He said the drainfield area is 5 times what is required. He pointed out the low areas, but said there are no actual wetlands on the property. The City Planner said if the applicant is willing to come around the northwest corner with his plantings, across from the railroad building, that would be satisfactory as long as it was supported with additional landscape submittals. Mr. Johnson identified the items to be stored outside as being van trailers, rough terrain cranes, pettibones, crawler cranes, job site mobile home trailers and some equipment such as scaffolding. He said the cranes are not assemembled in the yard. He said there might be some garage solvents for normal garage maintenance and possibly a 50 gallon drum of oil. Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any other comments, and there were none. VanMaldeghem/Lane moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Schmitt/Lane offered Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. 440, allow- ing the construction of a shop-warehouse with outside storage, and moved its adoption subject to the following conditions: 1. Equipment in the storage area shall not exceed the 45 foot height limitation of the I-1 district, without Planning Com- mission approval. 2. The applicant shall submit an 82 x 11 inch building plan which indicates the electric and gas shut off, prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. 3. A fire lane must be constructed around the entire building in accordance with the fire code. 4. The Building Official must approve the type and location of the underground fuel tanks. 5. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a landscape plan must be submitted for approval. The plan shall indicate: a. Screening of outdoor refuse area; b. One major deciduous tree planted every fifty feet along CR89; c. Additional screening of fenced storage area northwest of the building. 6. Exterior storage be limited to that equipment and normal materials associated with this business conducted by the appli- cant. Motion carried unanimously. Shakopee Planning Commission December 5, 1985 Page 3 PUBLIC HEARING - KAASA CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT VanMaldeghem/Lane moved to open the public hearing regarding the request by Gregory Kaasa for a conditional use permit to construct a horse boarding and training facility. Motion carried unanimously. The City Planner passed out pictures and plans of the structure and indoor layout, along with awards won by the applicant. She went over the background and considerations of this request. Staff recommenda- tion is for approval with conditions. Greg Kaasa, currently living at 3104 Humboldt Avenue South, said he will be moving to this property. He said they will be building this struc- ture to house 50 horses, because he feels this will be a cost savings in the future if the ordinance is changed to allow that many horses on the property. He plans to plant evergreens to screen the parking and dumpster areas. Comm. Stoltzman arrived and took his seat at 8:40 p.m. Mr. Kaasa pointed out these horses are show horses, not racing horses. He also said they have changed the plans and will be constructing an all-steel structure, which will decrease the height to probably 20-25 feet. Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any comments from the audience, and there were none. Lane/VanMaldeghem moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried with Stoltzman abstaining because of arriving late. Lane/Schmitt offered Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. 441, allow- ing the construction of a horse boarding and training facility, and moved its adoption subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant must obtain a Building Permit to construct the stable and riding arena. 2. The applicant shall keep no more than 35 horses. 3. A copy of the Minnesota Pollution Control Feedlot Permit must be submitted prior to issuance of a Building Permit. 4. The applicant must identify and detail the plant material which will be used to screen the parking, trailer storage and dumpster from the right-of-way. 5. A fire lane will be provided around the structure and posted "No Parking". An 82" x 11" site plan and final building plan showing electric and gas shut off shall be submitted prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. 6. Applicant must obtain a driveway entrance permit from the County Engineer. Motion carried with Comm. Stoltzman abstaining. Chrm. Czaja informed the applicant of the 7 day appeal period. December 5, 1.985 Page 4 DISCUSSION - PRAIRIE HOUSE 1ST ADDITION FINAL PLAT The City Planner informed the Commissioners of the City Council's actions regarding condemnation proceedings for an access to Vallevfair Drive for this development. She also added the recommendation by the City Engineer that Outlot B also be dedicated as right-of-way, in the event it is needed for the access. Comm. Schmitt expressed his belief that Outlot B should be included in the condemnation proceedings because that is what is rendering that area unbuildable. He thinks Outlot A and B should be one piece. Comm. Lane thinks the condemnation proceedings will include that unusable remnant of land as a natural consequence. The City Planner clarified that this land is not subject to condemnation--only the Valleyfair property that abuts it. Tom Lyons, for the developer, said this was drawn up in response to the City Engineer's request. It doesn't matter to them if it is one or two lots. The City Admr. suggested a separate motion to City Council if the Planning Commission wants to see one outlot. Chrm. Czaja asked if there were any comments from the audience and there were none. Lane/Stoltzman moved to recommend to City Council final plat approval of Prairie House lst Addition, subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of a Title Opinion by the City Attorney. 2. The City Engineer must receive and approve final plans and specifications for all public facilities including, but not limited to, roads, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and grading. 3. The developer shall provide a recordable agreement which guar- antees the looping of the water system when Outlot A is re- platted. 4. The developer shall provide a recordable agreement which des- cribes the shared maintenance, by the lot owners, of the private lift station. 5. The developer shall provide a recordable easement which allows for the continuation of the Minnesota River Valley Trail through the property. 6. The developer shall obtain the necessary permits from the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation. 7. Execution of a Developer's Agreement for the construction of the required improvements: A. Water- installation of a water system in accordance with the requirements of the SPUC Manager. _ B. Sanitary Sewer and Storm Water System - to be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Design Criteria and Standard Specifications of the City of Shakopee. C. Outlot - Outlot A must be replatted prior to any further development. The City Engineer is requested to inform City Council as to why a separate legal identity is required for Outlots A and B. D. Park Dedication - in lieu of land dedication, cash payment should be made to the park fund at the time building per- mits are issued. v1u 1V� CJC i lGLl:..+-.ice lJV1:i1.11��1V:- December 5, 1985 Page 5 1 E. Streets and Street Signs - to be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Design Criteria and Standard Specifications of the City of Shakopee. Motion carried with Comm. VanMaldeghem abstaining. DISCUSSION - PROPOSED FORKLIFT REPAIR AND SALES IN B-1 DISTRICT The City Planner said she initially felt confused about this request and was looking for direction. However, she is now of the feeling that the majority of the business is sales and service, with the exterior storage being under a conditional use. She originally was wondering if it was more industrially-oriented. Don Reed, 1833 10th Avenue East, said he wants to find out if his busi- ness would be allowed at Naumkeag and Bluff before he purchases the property. He said the outside storage would be very minimal. The City Planner said Bluff Avenue at this location is unimproved, but even if it is improved, it wouldn't affect this property size. Comm. Schmitt suggested screening for the exterior storage because of the adjacent residential with a conditional use permit. The City Planner said she has worked with two other parties trying to fit a building onto that parcel, but because of it being a corner lot, and the front yard setbacks required, it is difficult. She suggested trying to situate a building on the lot meeting the setbacks before he purchases the property. Schmitt/VanMaldeghem moved to accept the staff interpretation of this business as retail, with a conditional use permit being required for the exterior storage. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION - LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE The City Planner said that Comm. Pomerenke has submitted to her a pro- posed landscape plan check-list and examples of landscape ordinances from some other communities, in an effort to require more detailed submittals from developers. The City Admr. has suggested getting con- cerns from the ICC before drafting a more restrictive landscape ordi- nance, especially since the present one isn't more than a year old. Comm. Schmitt commented the check-list just requires further documenta- tion by a developer, rather than increased landscaping requirements. The City Planner said the current language is rather vague, and she thinks it would be helpful to have something like this that would be easier to administer. Comm. Pomerenke has volunteered to participate in some type of landscape requirement review. She suggests drawing up something that involves more documentation but doesn't increase the landscape requirements. She also suggested having Comm. Pomerenke ap- pear at the ICC meeting to present this. Comm. Stoltzman suggested some type of requirement about maintaining the plantings. The City Admr. thought if the landscape plantings and maintenance were part of the conditional use permit, then not maintain- ing them would be a violation of the permit and would affect renewal. A one-year warranty could also be explored. Stiaxopee Planninb Commission December 5, 1985 Page 6 Schmitt/Lane moved to direct staff to draw up a draft ordinance requiring more detailing and submittal information to meet the land- scape requirements of the ordinance and seek ICC comments. *lotion carried unanimously. Schmitt/Lane moved for a five minute recess at 9:25 p.m. Motion carried unanimousiv. Comm. VanMaldeghem left the meeting. Chrm. Czaja called the meeting back to order at 9: 35 p.m. INFORMATIONAL - HOHENSTEIN REVIEW Lane/Schmitt moved to approve the annual staff review of Conditional Use Permit No. 384, to allow the construction of stables and a riding arena to raise and breed horses. Motion carried unanimously. BUCHOLZ/VOGEL REVIEW Schmitt/Lane moved to approve the annual staff review of Conditional Use Permit No. 383, to keep horses on the property. Motion carried unanimously. SUPERAMERICA ACCESS The City Planner presented the memo from the City Engineer regarding the request for an egress route from Bluff Avenue, in which he states it would take a lot of fill to improve Bluff at this location, and the right turn lane would be very costly. The City Planner informed Commissioners of the City Council's actions to request research into the improvement of Bluff Avenue as a part of a possible tax increment district incorporating the Shakopee Valley Motel development. The City Engineer will look at costs and construc- tion feasibility for Bluff Avenue. Comm. Schmitt explained his intention was not to construct Bluff Avenue to the back of SuperAmerica, but merely to encourage the developer to do whatever grading is necessary to to provide a usable surface for the trucks to get to the signalized intersection. He wants the developer to encourage trucks to use that intersection. RECONSIDERATION OF HOUSING ALLIANCE PROPOSAL The City Planner explained this item is back on the agenda because the code requires the Planning Commission to make a recommendation within 60 days of a request. She said there is no language requiring a public hearing upon appeal, but it has been standard practice to re-advertise for another public hearing to the City Council and send out notices to the affected property owners. The City Council did establish December 18, 1985 as a appeal public hearing. To follow the rules, action should be taken by the Planning Commission. The public hearing is closed and no more public testimony needs to be heard. Shakopee Planning Commission December 5, 1985 Page 7 tq Comm. Schmitt said it appeared from the public- hearing that the use of the property is not the issue, and the key issue is taxes and protection of the surrounding property from the impact of the sale of the land. He refers to the first criteria for the granting of a conditional use permit in which the use should not substantially diminish or impair property values. He thinks consideration should be given to the build- ings with commercial and residential uses in them. If the tax issue can be resolved to the property owners' satisfaction, he would have no problem with the project. The City Admr. reported on the City Council's actions of requesting further information regarding a negotiated sale vs. a full condemnation sale and information from the state as to what constitutes an "arms length" sale. He passed out a letter received from the State of Minne- sota Property Equalization Division, which states that'a sale that is not an "arms length" sale would not be considered in the sales ratio study. He said he talked to 3 people in this department, and they all gave him this same answer. This letter also states that sales to governmental units would not be considered in the sales- ratio study, and it would not make a difference if the sale was the result of con- demnation or under the threat of condemnation. The City Admr. said he explained at length that the property was for a redevelopment pro- ject for re-sale. The City Admr. said one of the criteria for rejecting sales would be if it is out-of-line, so that would be an additional factor for not considering this sale. Discussion continued. The City Admr. said the City will also be signing a binding contract with the developer in which the developer will agree to the assessed value. Chrm. Czaja said it is his understanding that dealing with money issues is outside the criteria for granting conditional use permits, either taxes or property valuations. He would like a legal opinion about whether or not the Planning Commission should even be considering this type of issue. Cncl. Lebens stated her husband, Mel, feels that assurances from the State are not enough, and to really rule out consideration of this sale, you have to go to the Legislature. The City Admr. said staff could be directed to formally go to the State and request this sale be rejected from sales ratio consideration. Larry Smith of the Housing Alliance stated it is his belief that all the work with the Downtown Committee is to bring in business and increase the value of the downtown and increase the tax base of the City. In- creased value will increase buying and borrowing powers also. If this is rejected you will be sending a message to developers that you don't want anything downtown that will increase values. Mr. Smith continued that this area is designated for multi-family hous- ing, and the existing homes in that district are non-conforming uses and the only way they exist is by grandfather rights. No one could Sh-lKopee Planrino Com::ission December 5,1985 Page 8 build a new single family home in that district. According to the Comp Plan this is a conforming use and an established need. He thinks the chances of taxes going up because of this building are slim to nil. Comm. Stoltzman said the Downtown Committee has spent nears looking for just this very type of development. Comm. Schmitt expressed his problems with the City Council motion setting the upper limits of the price to be paid for the land. The City Admr. said that condemnation proceedings have been started, but it is still possible to negotiate a price before condemnation is completed. He suggested the Planning Commission can act on the plan- ning issues and make a separate motion, if it desires, regarding its feelings about condemnation vs. a negotiated price. Cncl. Lebens explained that the project is going forward and the bonds are being written. However, the bids will not be opened until an answer is received regarding the property values. The City Council still has the authority to not open the bids or not close the issue. They can also go to Court and get an injunction to stop theseproceed- ings. They plan to make an appearance on the 18th, and if everything is satisfactory, the project will go ahead. She added if the $85,000 value had remained, they wouldn't have argued at all. The City Planner explained the public hearing on the 18th can't be legally set until the Planning Commission has taken action and there is something to appeal. Lane/Stoltzman moved that since they don't believe taxes are an issue to be dealt with by the Planning Commission, moved to offer Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. 439, for the construction of 44 units of multi-family housing for seniors in a B-3 zone, subject to the follow- ing conditions, and moved its adoption: 1. Vacation of the portion of the alley which lies beneath the structure, prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. If required, relocation of any utility easements located in the existing alley. 3. Approval of the Building plans by the Building Official and the Fire Chief. 4. Any changes to landscape or site plan to be submitted for review by the Planning Commission. Motion carried with Comm. Schmitt opposed. Schmitt/Lane moved to request that City Council take steps to indemnify adjoining property owners within Block 32 from the tax impact of the sale of Lots 1 through 5 only, within Block 32. Motion carried unani- mously. Lane/Stoltzman moved to direct staff to seek a legal opinion on whether or not financial impacts can be considered in granting a conditional use permit. Motion carried unanimously. December 5, 1985 Page 9 MEETING CHANGE Consensus was to change the February meeting to February 13, 1985 be- cause of the vacation of the City Planner. OTHER BUSINESS Comm. Lane requested an opinion from legal staff regarding the ability to restrict testimony of the public at a public hearing in order to expedite meetings. Comm. Stoltzman said the Ass't City Attorney wrote a letter detailing how testimony could be restricted, which was read at the public hearing for the application of a gravel pit. The City Planner reported that apparently a sale was in progress at the Banker's Life building, and it was stopped as of yesterday. The City Planner informed the Commissioners that the Recording Secretary has submitted her resignation, and this is her last meeting with the Planning Commission. Schmitt/Lane moved to direct staff to prepare a letter of commendation to the Recording Secretary, specifically addressing her patience in dealing with the long and tedius meetings, for the Chairman's signature.

They seemed to be favorably impressed and as a result the Senate Transportation Committee will be at the KC Hall on December 9th at 7 : 30 for a similar meeting. A large delegation is encouraged to attend. The ICC has been working toward having Shakopee designated as Star City. The purpose is to organize and gear up on economic development. The Committee will be working with the State to develop a one year and a five year program for economic development. Dan Steil left at 8 : 30 a.m. Exhibit A of a memo dated Sept. 20 , 1985 , a map of the proposed Downtown Streetscape Assessment District, was studied and discussed. The District outlined on this exhibit includes all parcels bounded by Atwood on the West, Third Avenue on the South, Sommerville on the East and Levee Drive on the North, plus parcels on the West side of Atwood and the East side of Sommerville that have front footage on those streets. Variations in the boundary lines were discussed. Steve Clay moved for the purpose of establishing financial and statistical information necessory for streetscape assessment policy, that we adopt the boundaries on Exhibit A and revise it to move the North boundary South one-half block and the Eastern boundary to Spencer as far North as the alleys on Block 26 . Motion died for lack of a second. Chrm. Laurent requested that staff draw up a map using Fuller Street as the East boundary and also indicating where businesses and residences are located on the fringe of the proposed district especially along Atwood.

Tim Keane/Dan Steil moved to accept the agenda as presented. Motion carried. Jim Stillman/Tim Keane moved to approve the minutes of the November 13 , 1985 meeting. Motion carried. Jeanne Andre reported on the progress of the Housing Alliance project. She indicated that Delores Lebens feels they weren' t properly heard at the Planning Commission meeting on December 2nd regarding the Housing Alliance project. It is a complicated issue involving rezoning and a conditional use permit. Council has decided to hold a special meeting December 18th on the con- ditional use permit; meanwhile they are proceeding with a number of other phases of the project. If the conditional use permit does not go through it will be stopped at that time. If it does go through they will be ready to go on. Attorneys are drafting an agreement between the City and the developer. There are differing opinions if condemnation procedings are necessary, nevertheless Council has directed staff to draw up a resolution of condemnation. They want to be in a position to sell bonds before January lst because of changing tax laws. A tentative meeting has been set up for Dec. 23rd at 6 : 30 a.m. to open bids for bond sale. The Housing Alliance will pay for their own streetscape and storm sewer. John Anderson explained how the city might recoup some of what they put into the project when it is sold. Chrm. Laurent thanked Steve Clay and Dan Steil for attending recent meetings regarding this issue. The Community Development Director reported that an application for a Small Cities Grant is due at the end of January. A public hearing will be required in January on this project and staff is gearing up toward that. A card survey was sent out with the utility bills in connection with this grant and downtown bridge street improvements received the greatest response followed by downtown redevelopment. Several groups are interested in fixing up the Merchants Hotel either as office space or housing. The Community Development Director asked everyone to be aware of any businesses who might want to make use of the loan program to expand. 1� PROCEEDINGS OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE Shakopee, Minnesota December 11, 1985 Chrm.

Absent: Mike Sortum, Tim Keane and Council Liaison, Jerry Wampach. Also present: Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer and Beth Moe, Valley News. John Anderson, City Administrator arrived later. Steve Clay/Terry Forbord moved to accept the agenda as mailed. Motion carried. Terry Forbord/Steve Clay moved to approve the minutes of the Nov. 27 , 1985 meeting as kept. Motion carried. The Committee reviewed a recommendation from Barton-Aschman that a task force be created to evaluate the twelve alternatives for T.H. 169/101 bridge junction improvements. The Engineers recommend that by process of evaluation the task force eliminate those that are not acceptable. It was agreed that the Downtown Committee recommend to the Council that the seven member task force consist of: Mayor, Council - Jerry Wampach Downtown Committee - Terry Forbord City Engineer - Ken Ashfeld Community Development Director - Jeanne Andre Scott Co. Engineer - Brad Larson Mn/DOT - Carl Hoffstead Met Council - No recommended appointee Several of the members expressed concern that the Downtown Committee would not have enough involvement in the decisions of the task force. John Anderson arrived at 8 : 00 a.m. The Committee was assured that by the structure of the Committee their best interests would be considered and it would be unfair not to expect Mn/DOT to have some input when they are spending possibly $8 million on this project. Both parties have goals that could be met, now the best compromise proposal must be picked. Barton-Aschman are working for the city so they would want the best alternative chosen. The task force would meet twice in the early stages and then the Engineer would get the data in. After this the task force would have additional meetings. The Downtown Committee could still call in Westwood for advice or second opinions. Jim Stillman/Pete Sames moved that we follow recommendations for the seven member committee as listed. Nay Steve Clay. Motion carried. Terry Forbord/Bill Wermerskirchen moved that Jerry Wampach be selected to sit on the Evaluation Committee. Motion carried. Jim Stillman/Bill Wermerskirchen moved to recommend Carl Hoffstead from Mn/DOT for the Evaluation Committee. Motion carried. Steve Clay/Jim Stillman moved to recommend Terry Forbord as a representative of the Downtown Committee for the Evaluation Committee. Motion carried. Further discussion was held on the twelve alternatives submitted by Barton-Aschman. Bill Wermerskirchen/Terry Forbord moved that we consider one more alternative, alternative 13 , by including condemnation plans between Fuller & Holmes and between Lewis & Sommerville with two bridges. (This option would remove buildings on South half of blocks 4 and 5 , create parking lot in vacated First Avenue and build new highway where buildings are currently located) . Motion carried. Jim Stillman/Bill Wermerskirchen moved to add alternative 14 , that plan #7 be amended so there is no through traffic on Lewis Street. Motion carried. Bill Wermerskirchen left at 8 : 50 a.m. Don Martin/Terry Forbord moved to add alternative #15 , as suggested by City Administrator, and amend alternative #10 by increasing the radius using park land and saving both parking lots. Motion carried. The Committee discussed objectives and weighting criteria to be used by the task force. Jim Stillman/Joe Topic moved we accept the recommendation of staff on the weighting and list of criteria. Chrm. Laurent abstained. Motion carried. Steve Clay/Joe Topic recommended a time frame of three months for the task force to complete the project. Motion carried. The next meeting will be held December 18th at 8 a.m. to discuss downtown streetscape policy. Joe Topic/Steve Clay moved to adjourn at 9 : 15 a.m. Motion carried. Darlene Schesso Recording Secretary PROCEEDINGS OF THE DOWNTOWN AD HOC COMMITTEE Shakopee, Minnesota December 18 , 1985 Acting Chrm. Steve Clay called the meeting to order at 7 : 35 a.m. with the following voting members present: Steve Clay, Terry Forbord, Mike Sortum, Dan Steil, Jim Stillman, Joe Topic , Don Martin and Pete Sames. Also present: Jeanne Andre, Community Development Director, John Anderson, City Administrator, Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer and Timm Nelson, Intern. Terry Forbord/Bill Wermerskirchen moved to accept the agenda of Dec. 18 , 1985 as presented. Motion carried. Discussion was held on what parcels should constitute the initial downtown streetscape assessment district which would serve as the basis for subsequent calculations. It was the consensus that the district should include all parcels bounded by Atwood (both sides of street) on the West, the North side of 3rd Ave. on the South, Sommerville on the East including the Northeast corner of Spencer on the East and the alley alignment between First Avenue and Levee Drive on the North. In addition it includes parcels on the West side of Atwood and East side of Sommerville that have front footage on those streets. Jim Stillman/Dan Steil moved that the above boundaries be established as the assessment district. Motion carried. The next step to be considered was how to assess each parcel by square footage or by the shortest front footage. The Community Development Director recommended: 1) emphasizing front footage ( 700 ) in the formula, 2 ) taking the average distance along the street to determine front footage; and 3 ) where there is more than one parcel next to each other owned by one business entity to treat it as one parcel. Charts of sample assessments were studied to try to determine the fairest solution using 50/500 and 70/30% formula front footage combinations. The Committee also had to consider whether or not to assess non-profit entities such as parking lots, churches , schools and residences. Timm Nelson presented a print out as to what assessments would be if residences were removed from data basis. Bill Wermerskirchen left at 8 : 30 a.m. Terry Forbord/Jim Stillman moved to affirm that the assessment policy should use the shortest distance along a street as the front footage, that each parcel should receive a separate assessment, and that city use and other parcels owned by non-profit entities will be considered as commercial for assessment purpose. (Consistent with other city assessment practices. ) Motion carried. Jim Stillman moved to use a 40/60 formula. Motion died. Terry Forbord/Tim Keane moved to request staff to bring back some comparisons, using Beren' s parcels for example, showing various formulas beginning with 40/60 front foot/square foot formula and changing formula in 5% increments up to 60/40 . Motion carried. Jim Stillman/Joe Topic moved to adjourn at 9 : 05 a.m. Motion carried.

Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Intern RE: 1986-1987 Refuse Contract Update ( Informational) DATE: January 2 , 1986 Introduction and Background On December 3 , 1985 the Shakopee City Council authorized the appropriate City officials to execute a contract with Waste Management - Savage for garbage collection services for 1986 and 1987 . Two modifications to the 1984-85 contract language were proposed and accepted by the City of Shakopee for inclusion in the 1986-1987 refuse contract. The first change involved recylcing and the appropriate level of insurance coverage to be carried by the civic organizations affected by the contractors proposal. The contractor has requested that liability insurance amounts be carried in a form satisfactory to both the City and the contractor rather than just the City as originally proposed. The second modification requested by the contractor refers to a landfill rate increase protection clause. The 1984-1985 refuse agreement contains such a clause and the contractor once again has requested its inclusion in the 1986-1987 agreement. The clause reads as follows: Should landfill tipping rates be increased by more than 25% from their current $3 . 00 per cubic yard, the parties agree to reopen the contract at any six month interval from the effective date of the contract. Landfill rates are not expected to increase in 1986 . However, in 1987 a tipping fee increase appears likely. The landfill rate increase protection clause assures the contractor that they will not be subject to unforeseeable increases that they have no control over.

Vierling called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. with Comm. Lebens, Wampach, Colligan and Leroux present. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Admr. ; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk, Jeanne Andre, HRA Director; Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer; Judi Simac, City Planner and Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney. Colligan/Leroux moved to approve the minutes of November 19, 1985 as kept. Motion carried unanimously. Chrm. Vierling informed the Commissioners of comments she had received regarding unequal taxes on commercial properties, and would like it inves- tigated. Colligan/Wampach moved to direct staff to bring back the investigation of unequal taxation on commercial properties at the May Board of Equali- zation hearings. Motion carried unanimously. The HRA Director said she is looking for some direction regarding the ap- plication for the Small Cities Development Grant for 1986. The survey which went out with the utilities bill will be tabulated and provided to the Commissioners in advance of the public hearing. She went over the various uses to which the grant can be put and asked for suggestions for projects. She is proposing consideration of downtown redevelopment, ac- quisition of highway and bridge alignment at Hwy. 169/101. She said there are two parties pursuing redevelopment of the Merchants Hotel. She would like some type of loan program for downtown businesses who are looking at expanding. She wouldn't advise including the highway project unless a firmer commitment will be made by Mn/DOT, in light of last year's comments. She is not looking for a firm commitment from the Council at this time for any project, but just an expression of interest and any suggestion of pro- jects or businesses that might be interested. This type of grant is given to the City 100%, with no matching commitment by the City. Cncl. Lebens suggested the depot and Chrm. Vierling asked about the Pelham Hotel. Consensus was to work further on the projects mentioned, and come back with the tabulated results of the survey and more definite costs and ideas. Colligan/Wampach moved to adjourn to December 17, 1985. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Jeanne Andre HRA Director Diane S. Beuch Recording Secretary 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY SPECIAL SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 10, 1985 Chrm. Vierling called the meeting to order at 7:21 p.m. with Comm. Lebens, Wampach, Leroux and Colligan present. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Admr. ; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk and Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney, with Mayor Reinke arriving later. Lebens/Wampach moved to accept the special call. Motion carried unani- mously. The City Admr. said Mayor Reinke wanted to be present for the next agenda item, and would be arriving shortly. Wampach/Lebens moved for a five minute recess at 7:24 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Reinke arrived and took his seat. Wampach/Leroux moved to re-convene at 7:30 p.m. Motion carried unani- mously. Comm. Lebens asked what was meant by the language in Resolution No. 85- 27 which refers to the City Attorney and other HRA officials taking whatever action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this resolu- tion. It is her belief this resolution dictates the condemnation pro- cedure will be followed all the way. The City Admr. responded it is his interpretation this language refers to the necessary legal steps to be followed and documents to be filed with the Court. Comm. Lebens stated she didn't want this to mean there will be negotiation on the Courthouse steps for more than the condemnation award. The City Admr. further clarified the intent of submitting the City's appraisal and the City Attorney's need for direction from the City. Comm. Leroux mentioned the motion that was earlier made for an attempt at friendly condemnation proceedings based on a price of $250,000 or the appraisal of Peter Patchin, whichever is less. Upon advise of two legal counsels, the City should not proceed along those lines. In or- der to avoid conflict of interest, the condemnation proceedings must be completed. Wampach/Lebens moved to table this item until he has a chance to consult with his legal counsel, to be brought back on the agenda December 17, 1985. Comm. Wampach commented that he has his price for the sale of his pro- perty, and he doesn't want to be thrown at the mercy of the Court. Motion carried unanimously. Shakopee HRA December 10, 1985 Page 2 Comm. Leroux discussed whether a motion to table an item to a specific date was really a tabling or a postponing of an action, which is de- batable. He then decided to research it further on his own and bring it back another time. Lebens/Wampach moved to adjourn to December 17, 1985. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. i iJeanne Andre HRA Director I i Diane S. Beuch Recording Secretary December 17, 1985 Page 2 Comm. Leroux commented that all of his actions up to this point were based on the assumption that Comm. Wampach was a willing seller at a reasonable price. He is concerned with sending out the signal to developers that the City is not willing to stand behind its support for downtown develop- ment. He said the only reason condemnation is considered is because the owner of the property involved is a member of HRA and City Council, and they want no charges of impropriety which might be invited if a negotiated sale was achieved. Now it appears Comm. Wampach is being penalized because he cannot negotiate a sale price. Cncl. Lebens feels this project is completely different from the Levee Drive housing because the buyer won't be managing the property, and there is no provision for low and moderate housing. She believes there has to be provision for low and moderate income housing to pass the HRA guide- lines. Therefore, she would still have a problem with this project, even if the owner was not on the HRA. Comm. Leroux stated that 4 vacant lots in the middle of downtown could be considered a blight, which is another use for HRA eminent domain pro- ceedings. Comm. Wampach said he made it clear at the meeting last week that he did not want to sell his property. Discussion followed. Cncl. Colligan stated the only reason he agreed to go with condemnation was because of the large price spread in the appraisals, and he wanted the establishment of a fair price. The City Attorney said if the resolution is never offered, that will stop the City's participation in the project in this manner. This doesn't prevent the owner and developer from continuing any negotiations. Dis- cussion followed regarding the possibility of the developer negotiating a price and purchasing the property, and then coming to the City with a request for a land write-down. Leroux/Lebens moved for a five minute recess at 8:45 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Colligan/Lebens moved to re-convene at 8:52 p.m. Motion carried unani- mously. The HRA Director discussed her memo regarding possible options for an ap- plication for a 1986 Small Cities Development Grant. At this time there is talk of several different developers and uses for the Merchant's Hotel, but the one group most actively pursuing a project is the Scott-Carver Economic Council. Paul Onkka, member of the Scott-Carver Economic Council (SCEC) Board, explained this is not an authorized SCEC proposal, but the SCEC did adopt a resolution supporting further research into this idea. He proposes using the main floor of the Merchant's Hotel for SCEC offices and as much of the other related programs, such as the food shelf and headstart pro- gram, as can be accomodated. The upper floors would be renovated into temporary housing for the homeless and short time emergency housing. PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ADJ. SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 17, 1985 Chrm. Vierling called the meeting to order at 8:02 p.m. with Comm. Lebens, Wampach, Colligan and Leroux present. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Admr. ; Jeanne Andre, HRA Director; Kenneth Ashfeld, City Engineer and Mayor Reinke. Chrm. Vierling asked if there was anyone present in the audience who wished to comment on the proposed Resolution No. 85-27, a resolution determining the need for eminent domain proceedings for the purpose of constructing multi-family housing for seniors, as proposed by the Housing Alliance. Loren Gross, 8608 Lyndale Avenue, representing Comm. Wampach, stated he concurs with the City Attorney that Comm. Wampach should not vote on this issue. However, he wants to make clear Comm. Wampach's position. He put forth his belief that the City's right to condemn is limited by statute, and he also doesn't believe that providing multi-family housing for seniors is a public purpose, especially when it doesn't provide for low to moderate rents. He pointed out that for a large amount of time private enterprise was proceeding with this project, so he doesn't think the need was there for the City to step in to develop this area. He doesn't know how the building of this apartment building is any different that any other apart- ment building, and no public purpose exists. Mr. Gross stated at this time Comm. Wampach does not want to sell his property at all, as he doesn't believe it is good for him or the City, and no public purpose is being served. He therefore asks the resolution to be denied. John Schol, attorney for Housing Alliance, stated they obviously support the City's efforts in seeking condemnation for this project. He maintains that condemnation is clearly authorized. However, he realizes this is a political matter as far as whether or not to undertake that condemnation proceeding. He believes the development of senior housing is a valid public purpose, and senior housing is exempt from the low and moderate housing requirements. He recommends the Commissioners adhere to the ad- vise of the City Attorney. He said the Housing Alliance has spent a lot of time, energy and money on this project and they are willing to put it to the political test. Comm. Lebens said her husband, Mel, contacted the Attorney General's office and was told Comm. Wampach is considered a member of the HRA, so even though he abstains from the vote, it would be considered as a "no" vote. She suggests getting this opinion in writing from the Attorney General's office. The City Admr. stated he had checked with the City Attorney and the Ass't City Attorney on that question, and they both advised him that an abstention would not be counted as a "no" vote. He suggested further checking on that issue. Shakopee HRA December 17, 1985 22 Page 3 1 Mr. Onkka proposed using the grant money, if successful, for the rehabili- tation of the interior of the hotel. He would suggest SCEC would become the owner of the building, with a long term lease arrangement for manage- ment. They feel this location would be closer to the recipients of these programs than the present Carver location. The HRA Director commented the actual ownership and management of .the building needs to be refined. Comm. Vierling inquired as to the Downtown Committee's feelings towards this proposal. Gary Laurent, of the Downtown Committee, said the general concept of renovation of the Merchant's Hotel is heartily approved by the Downtown Committee. However, they haven't specifically addressed this particular proposal. Consensus was to approve staff's continued work with the SCEC on this proposal for inclusion in the application for a grant, along with a loan program for downtown businesses to expand or improve their operations. Consensus was to not include right-of-way acquisition for bridge/junction improvements as it might make the entire application weak. Leroux/Colligan moved to authorize the hiring of Timm Nelson as a student intern at $6 per hour for a 7 week period. Roll Call: Ayes; Lebens, Leroux, Vierling, Colligan Noes; None Abstain: Wampach Motion carried. Chrm. Vierling asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to com- ment on the possible use of eminent domain for development as proposed by the Housing Alliance for senior housing. Mr. Schol, attorney for the Housing Alliance, said it appears its only alternative would be to acquire the property privately and come back to the HRA for a land write-down. He said that was looked at originally, but it seemed to them to be a disguise. Because the owner has expressed that he doesn't want to sell the property, it appears they have reached the end as far as that property is concerned, if the resolution is not passed. Leroux/Colligan moved to recommend to City Council that regarding any action on agenda items 2, 3, 4 and 5 relating to the Housing Alliance pro- ject, the City not proceed with eminent domain for the purposes of con- structing multi-family housing for seniors at this time. Motion carried with Comm. Wampach abstaining. Colligan/Lebens moved to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:18 p.m. Jeanne Andre HRA Director Diane S. Beuch Recording Secretary OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 3, 1985 Vice Chair Vierling called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. with Cncl. Leroux, Colligan, Wampach and Lebens present. Mayor Reinke arrived later. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Admr. ; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk; Jeanne Andre, Community Development Director; Judi Simac, City Planner; Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer and Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney. Lebens/Wampach moved to recess for an HRA meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Leroux/Colligan moved to re-convene at 7:20 p.m. Motion carried unani- mously. Liaison reports were given by Councilmembers. Cncl. Lebens reported she was very disappointed in the Planning Commis- sion meeting held last night, which was a public hearing regarding the issuance of a conditional use permit to the Housing Alliance for a 44 unit senior citizens housing structure. Her husband, Mel Lebens, had spoken for 15-20 minutes when he was cut off by the Chairman and given only 5 more minutes to speak. She couldn't understand why the Planning Commission was in such a hurry. The motion at the end of the meeting was made by Comm. Schmitt to forward to the City Council for reconsidera- tion without comment on the part of the Planning Commission. Cncl. Lebens pointed out the City Code which states that now the Planning Commission must bring in its comments within 60 days, and City Council can carry forth within 30 days after that. She would like to now register her 7 day appeal because she doesn't feel she was heard and she doesn't feel like she is ready now to make her appeal. The City Admr. clarified that because of the tight timing of this project to get the bonds sold before the end of the year, the Asst City Attorney was consulted and it was his opinion that it could be announced at the public hearing that the City would automatically appeal the item to this City Council meeting to avoid having someone register an appeal later and stretch out the time and kill the project. He felt that all those interested pro and con would be present at the Planning Commission hearing, and would receive notice to bring their comments to this meeting. Cncl. Lebens complained that she didn't feel they had a proper hearing, and there were other people at the hearing that were limited to 5 minutes of comment. The City Admr. explained the meeting started at 7:00 and adjourned at 9:15 p.m. , with this single item on the agenda. Proponents and opponents spoke and no one except Mr. Lebens was cut off, and he was given an additional 5 minutes after he had spoken for some time. The Plan- ning Commission repeated several times that the purpose of the hearing was for the conditional use, but other concerns kept surfacing. 5nakopee Uizy �,ounLll December 3, 1985 Page 2 Cncl. Lebens stressed her desire for the full 7 day appeal period as there are many questions unanswered. She believes different attorneys give dif- ferent opinions. She also stated the Code requires the applicant give proof of ownership of the property. This developer intends to build the building and set up a different corporation to run it, saying St. Francis Medical Center will manage it. She spoke to Sister Agnes Otting of the hospital who said nothing has been settled yet on that. Cncl. Lebens also doesn't think this application should be for a conditional use in a B-3 zone. She thinks it should be rezoned to R-4, but that isn't being done because that would also take longer and jeopardize the bonds. That amount of housing units should be put on at least 3 acres, but because it is downtown, it will be put on one acre. The residents only have the porch, they don't have any place to go. Discussion followed regarding whether or not there was anything before the City Council to consider. The City Attorney stated it appears Plan- ning Commission just forwarded it to pass the buck, and he doesn't think the City Council has anything. Mayor Reinke arrived and took his seat at 7:32 p.m. Cncl. Leroux stated he is a proponent of the project, but only with proper procedure. The City Planner clarified there is no requirement in the Code that a public hearing needs to be held for an appeal of a conditional use permit, but that has been the normal procedure. The City Admr. stated this is not the normal procedure, but the normal procedure is not dictated in the code, so it is not a deviation from the code. The City Attorney said that anytime you establish a normal course of business and deviate from that, you are running the risk of question and inviting problems. However, he didn't know if the City would actually be held liable. The Comm. Develop. Dir. informed Councilmembers that agenda item 9b, the public hearing regarding housing revenue bonds for the Housing Alliance project, is being deleted and it is staff's suggestion that the public hearing regarding the conditional use permit be substituted here. Colligan/Leroux moved to consider discussion of the conditional use permit for the Housing Alliance under 9b on the agenda tonight. Motion carried with Cncl. Wampach abstaining. Further liaison reports were given by Councilmembers. The gavel was passed to Mayor Reinke. Leroux/Lebens moved to approve the minutes of November 6, 1985 as kept. Motion carried unanimously. Leroux/Vierling moved to approve the minutes of November 15, 1985 as kept. Motion carried with Cncl. Wampach and Lebens abstaining. Colligan/Vierling moved to approve the minutes of November 19, 1985 as kept. Motion carried unanimously. Shakopee City Council December 3, 1985 Page 3 Leroux/Vierling moved to place on file the letter dated November 18, 1985 from Barbara Hauger regarding her dissatisfaction with the Eaglewood Ad- dition road improvement project, along with the response from the City Admr, dated November 20, 1985. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion followed regarding the written request by Gary C. Janisch for additional street lighting near his shopping center on Marschall Road. Consensus was that SPUC specifications for spacing is acceptable. Leroux/Colligan moved to place on file the letter from Gary C. Janisch dated November 20, 1985 regarding street lighting. Motion carried unani- mously. Clarification was made that the City doesn't want to be involved and the applicant can speak to SPUC about it. The City Admr. explained the background on the award given to the City's Finance Director .for Financial Reporting Achievement by the Government Finance Officers Association. Mayor Reinke presented the award to Gregg Voxland, the Finance Director, and expressed the City's thanks. Wampach/Vierling moved to receive and place on file the letter from Wm. Schreiber, State Legislator, dated November 15 ,1985 regarding the Mayor's testimony before the House Tax Committee regarding fiscal disparities. Motion carried unanimously. The City Admr. explained the action requested by the League of Minn. Cities would give more time for municipalities to work with Congress to get a form of the municipal bond bill that is more palatable. Leroux/Vierling moved to take the action as recommended by the League of Minnesota Cities to contact Congress and Senators urging immediate action to remove the January 1, 1986 effective date in the proposals under con- sideration in the House Ways and Means Committee. Motion carried with Cncl Lebens opposed. The City Engineer informed the Councilmembers of of a bus tour, recep- tion and public hearing to be held by the Senate Transportation Commitee in Shakopee December 9, 1985 beginning at 3:30 p.m. The City plans to make a presentation similar to the one given in October. Leroux/Lebens offered Resolution No. 2480, a Resolution of Appreciation to Paul Wermerskirchen, and moved its adoption. Mayor Reinke read the resolution and presented it to Mr. Wermerskirchen with the City's thanks. Motion carried unanimously. Wampach/Vierling moved to open the public hearing regarding the appeal of the Planning Commission' s denial of a conditional use permit for a home occupation for Peter Shutrop at 1424 Heron Court. Motion carried unanimously. The City Planner went over some of the background and passed around the pictures that were submitted at the hearing. Shakopee City Council December 3, 1985 Page 4 Mr. John Manahan, representing Mr. Shutrup, said Mr. Shutrop is a life- long resident of Shakopee an:' worked as his own contractor to build his new house in 1984 and 1985. He and his wife work full-time and the busi- ness they want to conduct would be on a part-time basis. It is not their intention to in any way interfere with the rights or their neighbors. They have attempted to modify their application to narrow it down and be more specific in what they want, as set out in the memo attached to the application. The chain saw noise was one issue at the Planning Commis- sion hearing, and they don't have to use it at all on the premises. Mayor Reinke referred to the letter from Dean Nyquist regarding the res- trictive convenants which prohibit any use other than residential. Mr. Manahan responded that he hasn't seen the letter, but that conflicts with the opinion of staff. In any event, it is not the City's responsibility to interpret and protect the protective covenants. Remedies are provided in the covenants themselves, which would be pursued differently. Mayor Reinke asked for comments from the audience. Catherine Rader, 1400 Blue Heron Trail, stated the petition submitted was signed by all but one household in Timber Trails, who wasn't home, and was also signed by nearby property owners on Marschall Road. Marlene Larson, 1440 _Blue Heron Trail, said that prior to moving into his home, Mr. Shutrop advertised in the newspaper for the firewood business. She and her husband asked Mr. Shutrop about it and he admitted he had been doing that. Mr. Shutrop was issued a zoning violation because of debris remaining from an auction, of which she showed pictures and listed the items. She and her husband asked him twice about removing the debris. The Code Enforcement Officer sent her a letter stating there was no evi- dence of firewood being sold. Following this, the applicant advertised in the Shakopee Valley News of October 9, 14, 21 and 28 for firewood being sold from his house. She also received an inquiry about a fire on Mr. Shutrop's property, which had been set in his woodpile and bed of his truck, and the log splitter was also damaged sometime that summer. She knew nothing of these actions. But previous to that fire a neighbor saw Mr. Shutrop burning in his back yard. She is now fearful of her property because of the fire. Mr. Shutrop has added to his property a 200 gallon drum which she presumes will be used to store gasoline, which is also a safety hazard. She said all the neighbors want to do is have the appli- cant abide by the rulesand regulations of the community, and they are at- tempting to protect the value of their property. Based on Mr. Shutrup's past experience, she would question wha would supervise the operation. They don't want to play police in their neighborhood, and she doesn't think this would be in the best interest of the neighborhood if granted. Mr. Manahan replied that these items were mentioned at the Planning Com- mission hearing and the memo submitted addressed most of them. The adver- tising was checked with the City and that was approved. The debris was from the auction, and was gotten rid of within two weeks. The application has been approved by the Fire Chief and he intends to comply with the con- ditions. Mr. Shutrop would have the same concerns as his neighbors regard- ing property value, as he made a large investment in his home also. Roger Sperling, 1432 Blue Heron Court, said he lives next door to the applicant, and showed some photographs taken yesterday of Mr. Shutrop's property, showing woodpiles, truck, saw, tractor, tires and lawnmower. He doesn't think a tall woodpile would be conducive to a nice neighborhood. Shakopee City Council December 3,1985 Page 5 Jim Larson, 1440 Blue Heron Trail, said he moved into his home in 1977 and with the zoning being residential he thought it was one of the most beautiful developments in Shakopee, and now there is a potential problem. He said he personally paid $1,873 in taxes last year; Mr. Sperling paid $2356 in taxes. Mr. Shutrop's property is valued at $69,300 and will next year pay approximately $970.00. He asked if this is something that will enhance the value of his property. Also, this is a cul-de-sac area, so the back yard has more effect on the neighbors. He said that before Mr. Shutrop moved out there he knew the restrictive covenants and there- fore he questions his intentions. Then he put the fuel barrel in front of his home, directly across from the window of Mr. Sperling, rather than putting it back in the woods. Mr. Shutrop removed everything from the auction, but only after cited and on the very last day allowed. The truck shown in the picture has a gross weight of 23,000 pounds, and whenever it goes out it is full. He went over relative weights of different kinds of wood by the cord. The streets in Timber Trail are broken up right now and that repair gets assessed back to the homeowner. He doesn't feel there is any way this particular conditional use permit should be approved. Mr. Manahan pointed out the modification to the application, in which Mr. Shutrop agreed to any screening mutually agreed upon by the City and Mr. Sperling. He also agreed that the weight carried in the truck would not exceed the load limits the streets are constructed for. Mr. Sperling said he is not in favor of any screening that would also block his view of the road. He also showed pictures of his house from which the earlier pictures were taken. Mayor Reinke asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak, and there was no response. Leroux/Wampach moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unani- mously. Cncl. Leroux expressed his belief that this type of home occupation can- not be readily contained and imposes itself on others in the neighborhood. He thinks this is too much commerce in a residential area. Leroux/Wampach moved to direct staff to prepare a resolution for denial of Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. CC-435 for a home occupation to sell firewood at 1424 Heron Court, Shakopee, based on the fact that it is too much commerce in a residential neighborhood, and would impose itself on others. The resolution should also note that Planning Commission voted unanimously for denial. Motion carried unanimously. Leroux/Vierling moved for a five minute recess at 8:44 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Colligan/Wampach moved to re-convene at 8:53 p.m. Motion carried unani- mously. Shakopee City Council December 3, 1985 Page 6 The Community Develop. Dir. apologized for the lateness of some of the material received regarding the Housing Alliance application for 44 units of multi-family housing for seniors in the B-3 zoning district. However, this project has been around for quite some time and the City Council has had the perameters of the project for about 12 years, although the final details are just coming together now. When the Council was asked in November for its opinion to go or not go, it was warned there would be a lot of work to be done to fast-track this project before the end of the year. The Comm. Develop. Dir. continued that the Housing Alliance was interested in applying for Housing Revenue Bonds, but found the cost of issuance out-stripped any benefit, and therefore the public hearing that was scheduled for tonight is not necessary. In place of that program, an interest reduction package was proposed. However, the urgency is still here, as no one knows if the tax increment bonds will be available in 1986. Planning Commission had a special meeting last night, but if the full 7 days for an appeal were waited, the bonding would be in jeopardy. Therefore, it was the opinion of the Ass't City Attorney that an announce- ment could be made at the public hearing at the Planning Commission meet- ing last night that whatever decision was made would be appealled to City Council tonight. Cncl. Lebens said there is 7 days to appeal the Planning Commission ac- tion, and she also pointed out the City Council is not the final authority but the Court is. S,ie said at the public meeting where a motion was made by Cncl. Leroux, seconded by Cncl. Vierling that the land be taken by P minent domain, that is the only way it should be done to protect the other property owners. When one of the property owners is a Councilmember, that would be the only fair way. She still has many questions. She re- ported that the Planning Commission tried to stop the hearing last night. 16lien this was brought to the City originally, she thought the City could help them and give a little guidance, but she feels the City has spent a lot of time promoting it and the project is being pushed through too quickly and too much money is involved. She would think it fine if the Housing Alliance was going to stay and operate it, but they are setting up a separate corporation to manage it. If it doesn't go and the bonds aren't paid, the taxpayers of the City will pay for it. The Comm. Develop. Dir. explained the Planning Commission was trying to deal with those factors that are normally involved in a conditional use permit, such as traffic, screening, adequacy of parking, etc. The Planning Commission doesn't get involved in how much the property costs and taxes. They wanted to keep the discussion germain to the conditional use issues. Cncl. Lebens commented that when John Ries, Jr. wanted to put in an apart- ment of top of his building he was refused because he couldn't provide 2 parking spaces. Now this project is only providing 1.4 spaces per unit, and she wants to know why it is different. There are only 24 outside park- ing spaces, and she doesn't think people will pay for the underground park- ing. sir. Berens is also concerned with where the parking will go. She said Mr. Ries could have provided 1.4 parking spaces, and he is across the street with seniors living there also. Shakopee City Councii December 3, 1985 Page 7 The Comm. Develop. Dir. said this project has always had a proposal for tax increment financing, but through negotiations there is now the new interest reduction proposal to be considered. She said the project has more than the 15% required developer equity. Cncl. Leroux expressed his opinion that he believes new public hearing notices should be issued in order to hear the conditional use permit issues. He mentioned the Levee Drive highrise which is a precedent for an apartment building in a B-3 with parking requirements and height limitation. The City Planner clarified that normal procedure for appeals is to allow a full 7 days after publication of the public hearing notice. Leroux/Vierling moved that the City Council hold a public hearing on the planning considerations for the conditional use permit for the Housing Alliance's 44 unit senior housing project on December 18, 1985, with publication of the notice on December 11, 1985. A representative from O'Connor and Hannon confirmed that the City can make the decision not to open the bids for the bond sale and not to close the bond issue, which is not planned to be closed until December 30. Up to that point the City retains the freedom to not go ahead with the issue. The City Admr. said there is a possibility of a meeting on December 23 to open the bids. That procedure can run concurrently with the published public hearing, and the planning issues will be heard before the time of the scheduled bid opening. Motion carried with Cncl. Wampach abstaining. Wampach/Vierling moved to open the public hearing regarding the amendment to the redevelopment plan relating to Minnesota River Valley Housing and Redevelopment Project No. 1; the amendment of the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 through No. 5; establish- ing Tax Increment Financing District No. 6 and adopting the Tax Increment Financing Plan therefor. Motion carried unanimously. Larry Smith, of the Housing Alliance, made a presentation of the Depot Place Apartments project. He showed slides indicating the location of the project with its proximity to the hospital, churches and downtown area. He showed a footprint of the project pointing out the restaurant, parking, accesses, garden plots, porches, patio, architecture to blend with the surrounding residential area, landscaping and mixture of one and two bedroom units. They have found that one parking space per unit is more than adequate for this type of housing and anticipate being able to convert some of the excess parking space to storage or a car wash. Mr. Smith pointed out this project is not subsidized and therefore is open to anyone. Extensive market studies have suggested the rents for this community. To make this affordable, they have a very tight project and are requesting some subsidization by the City. They have completely opened their books for examination by the City to be sure there are no excessive profits. These rents are not high for the type of package they will be offering which is being negotiated by St. Francis Medical Center. He passed out copies of what will probably be offered as a basic service Shakopee City Councii December 3, 1985 Page 8 plan. This program is designed to allow seniors to be independent longer to avoid nursing homes. They have worked closely with a 15-member panel, whose names he passed out, representing various aspects of the community, and he invites anyone from the audience to join that on-going committee. Mr. Smith passed out parking specifications and the traffic study done by Barton-Aschman. He also passed out the petition, conducted by Doris Dunlap, which originally brought them to Shakopee, which demonstrated a need for such a project in the City. Cncl. Lebens objected to the submission of the petition because it was circulated when the project was going to be put on Ms. Dunlap's property and was to be built for low-income people, and it has nothing to do with the site it is proposed for now. Mr. Smith answered he didn't mean to imply this petition was in support of this project. He stated it was circulated prior to the project to encourage them to come into Shakopee. They arrived as a result of the petition. He also understands it isn't a professional survey. They sub- sequently did a professional survey that was related to this site, indi- cating positive interest in this site, which was entered into the record earlier. Rosemary Dineen, of the Housing Alliance, pointed out that Ms. Dunlap has nothing to gain financially from the site that is now chosen. The site was chosen because it was designated in the downtown redevelopment map for this type of housing, and its location makes it an A44+ site. Cncl. Lebens also does not think this will be affordable housing--at $575 plus $40 for parking plus heat and phone. She found advertised housing in downtown Minneapolis for $350 per month, utilities included. Cncl. Lebens said she spoke with Sister Agnes Otting who said the agree- ments aren't finalized and no money has been discussed and she is not committing St. Francis at this time. Ms. Dineen further explained that they are not talking about older people who are able to stay in their own homes--but rather those who are be- ginning to have some health problems that require some additional ser- vices. Market studies have shown this community can support 100 units of housing for the elderly and can support rents of $500 and more. Cncl. Lebens complained there wasn't enough room for the people to move around. Ms. Dineen said most of these people are not involved in active recreation. Mr. Smith said there are no final documents between them- selves and St. Francis because they don't yet have a viable project with approval from the City. The negotiations with the City will affect the agreement with St. Francis. The Comm. Develop. Dir. reminded the Council that the Housing Alliance has demonstrated their need for tax increment financing in a pro forma submittal, and the HRA has recommended the City take on some additional expenses to work on the project at the staff level, with Cncl. Vierling involved with the negotiations. She went over the requests of the de- veloper and the possible expenses for various improvements. She listed the results of the negotiations for the removal of various improvements in the project. She further explained the details of an interest write- Shakopee City Council December 3, 1985 Page 9 down proposal, which would be based on demonstrated need--the higher the occupancy, the lower the subsidy. The advantage is that the City doesn't have to bond for this and the money can be provided as the taxes come in. The City can re-capture some of the money and use it for other downtown projects in the future to help other projects pro- ceed without selling bonds. John Schol, attorney for the Housing Alliance, said that more than likely a limited partnership would end up owning the property, with Housing Alliance as the general partner. The City can demand who is the original owner and examine the new owner. The City Admr. informed the Councilmembers that the tax increment pro- ject for the existing senior highrise which began in 1980 has a posi- tive balance of $200,000 for the obligation due in 1985. That project has been very successful and the bonds should be paid off without re- financing. This proposed project will be reviewed by our conservative bond counsel and fiscal consultant, just like the existing one. Cncl. Lebens thinks that the Federal government paying for a lot of seniors made that project different. She also pointed out the resolution does not specifically say it is for seniors. Mr. Smith replied it is for seniors and will be stated clearly in the resolution and the agree- ment. Cncl. Lebens wants the acquisition to be by eminent domain all the way, and let the Courts set the value. Cncl. Leroux said the intent of the motion was to get away from the adversarial condemnation. Cncl. Lebens said it only takes 100 signatures on a petition to bring in an examiner to find out where the money is going. Cncl. Leroux responded that all the proceedings have been in open meeting, on recorded tape, in front of live T.V. and if anyone wants to examine the proceedings, they are welcome. The City Admr. mentioned the letter from the County Assessor giving his opinion that this type of sale under threat of condemnation would not be used in reaching the sales ratio. Cncl. Lebens asked if the parties could agree to a price. The City Attorney replied he didn't think you could agree to a binding price, as the Court would appoint the appraisers who set the valuation. The City Admr. explained ghat frequently in fast-tracking projects, acquisition is started by con- demnation proceedings and negotiations proceed during that time. Then if an agreed price is reached, fine, but if not the time has been started. Mayor Reinke asked if there were any comments from the audience. Karen Lebens, 207 Atwood,addressed the letter from the County Assessor. She said if you come to an agreed upon price, that is not a regular condemnation and therefore it will be taken into consideration when setting the sales ratio and will affect her taxes. Mayor Reinke asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak, and there was no response. Vierling/Colligan moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Shakopee City Council December 3,1985 Page 10 The Comm. Develop. Dir. explained that the interest write-down pro- posal lessens the up-front costs and provides the assistance only as taxes are received. Discussion followed regarding including a limi- tation of the percentage of units occupied. The Comm. Develop. Dir. asked for consideration of Resolution No. 2486 which just establishes the upper perameter through the Developer's Agreement, which allows the City to spend within these limits if it does decide to go with the interest write-down proposal. Bond counsel further clarified that the City always has the authority to say no. There is no commitment to the developer to expend these amounts; these are just a listing of the allowable public costs, with no obligation to bond for those costs. The Redevelopment Contract is what creates the obligation. Leroux/Vierling offered Resolution No. 2486, A Resolution Relating to the Amendment by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Shakopee of Modified Housing and Redevelopment Plan Re- lating to Minnesota River Valley Housing and Redevelopment Project No. 1, the Amendment of the Tax Increment Financing Plans Relating to Tax Increment Districts No. 2 Through No. 5 to Reflect Increased Project Costs within Minnesota River Valley Housing and Redevelopment Project No. 1, the Establishment of Tax Increment District No. 6 Located Within Minnesota River Valley Housing and Redevelopment Project No. 1 and the Adoption and Approval by the City of Shakopee of the Proposed Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment District No. 6, and moved its approval. The Comm. Develop. Dir. stated there are no fiscal disparities contri- butions taken from housing. Roll Call: Ayes; Colligan, Reinke, Vierling, Leroux Noes; Lebens Abstain: Wampach Motion carried. The Comm. Develop. Dir explained that bond counsel wants Resolution No. 2485 passed with the amount of the bonds left out, to allow him to do one more computer run, after which he will inform the City Clerk of the proper amount. Vierling/Leroux offered Resolution No. 2485, A Resolution Providing for the Issuance and Sale of General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1985-A, and moved its adoption. Discussion followed regarding the date for one more meeting on these bonds, which would allow the bonds to be closed before December 31, 1985. Leroux/Vierling moved to amend Resolution No. 2485 to insert at No. 3 the date of December 23, 1985 at 6: 30 a.m. , or a time established by the Mayor. Motion to amend carried with Cncl. Wampach abstaining. 5haxopee ulEy uouncii December 3, 1985 Page 11 Roll Call on Resolution No. 2485 as amended: Ayes; Leroux, Vierling, Colligan, Reinke Noes; Lebens Abstain: Wampach Motion carried. Vierling/Colligan moved to direct the City Clerk to set the amount of the bonds based on the recommendation of the City's financial advisor. Motion carried with Cncl. Lebens opposed and Cncl. Wampach abstaining. The Comm. Develop. Dir. suggested drafting a resolution of condemna- tion and seeking of a legal opinion about what approach needs to be taken to avoid the tax issue and conflict of interest, which should be available by December 17, 1985. Cncl. Lebens expressed her belief that their taxes would still go up even with the negotiated price of $85,000, so condemnation is the only way she would be in favor of it. Lebens/Colligan moved to direct staff to prepare a resolution for condemnation of this property for the Housing Alliance, to be brought back to the City Council meeting on December 10, 1985. Discussion continued about whether or not a negotiated sale would af- fect the sales ratio, to be further determined by staff. Motion carried with Cncl. Wampach abstaining. Leroux/Vierling moved to direct staff to contact the State Department of Revenue to answer the question as to what constitutes an arms-length sale and if a negotiated sale under threat of condemnation would be considered as part of the sales ratio. Motion carried with Cncl. Wampach abstaining. Leroux/Colligan moved for a two minute recess at 10:46 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Leroux/Colligan moved to re-convene at 10:52 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. John Manahan highlighted the considerations for the tax increment request by the Shakopee Valley Motel. He pointed out this proposal is to integrate the entire river front area. This development is not eligible for any other type of financing help. The high water table and the bedrock doesn't really provide for any other type of develop- ment. The applicant estimates it will cost $575,000 to develop the campground and the assessor has estimated the value will be about $300,000. Therefore, it isn't feasible to just develop the campground, but it will work as an integrated project. He believes the benefits to Shakopee will be in increased year-around jobs and assist in the general commerce of Shakopee in the winter. The Comm. Develop. Dir. pointed out the real user of the tax increment financing would be the campground, but the real contributor would be the motel. 6naxopee city (.ouncii December 3, 1985 Page 12 The Comm. Develop. Dir, said most of the issues mentioned in the Preliminary Plat process are being resolved. The project also has to go through the EAW process which has not been completed. Tonight she is just looking for an expression of interest if the City Council is willing to have the staff work further with the developer on po- tential tax increment financing. Mayor Reinke stated he would like to see some direct benefit to the City in terms of projects completed for the City by the developer, such as the completion of Bluff Avenue. He wants to see a benefit to the taxpayers of the City who do not receive taxes for those number of of years of the project. The Comm. Develop. Dir. explained the developer is taking his chances with the tax increment laws--if this help is not available in 1986, the City will just not be able to provide it. Mr. Manahan spoke on behalf of Mr. Bakken, the developer, and said he has risked his own money and made a project that works. He has ex- plored various proposals with the underlying theme that he wanted to open up the river to him and the City. The only way to get that river front open appears to be to tie it in with the rest of the project. Perhaps something could be done with Bluff Street, but the costs would have to be looked at. Cncl. Lebens stated when this was presented at Planning Commission she was in favor of it, but she has never voted for any project which uses tax increment financing. Leroux/Vierling moved to direct staff to continue working with the developer on the Shakopee Valley Motel Tax Increment proposal, with the City looking into any projects which could be aided by this tax increment, including but not limited to Bluff Avenue. Cncl. Colligan asked about cutting back the size of the campground to cut some of the expenses. Warren Israelson, engineer, said that most of the expenses come from the construction of the indoor pool and the site that will have full hook-ups. If the campground is reduced to one-third the size, the costs are still the same. Motion carried with Cncl. Lebens opposed. The City Admr, reported he has talked with Mn/DOT and they have indi- cated if the City has a plan for a road to gain access to Valley Park Drive from the Prairie House First Addition, they will authorize a temporary access off Hwy. 101 for construction purposes. Discussion followed regarding the cost estimates provided by staff for damages to Valleyfair. Cncl. Lebens asked if the developer is willing to pay for the $100,000 costs to tie into Valley Park Drive. Tom Togas, attorney for the developer, said the City would have to assess the developer for the costs. Shakopee City Council December 3, 1985 Page 13 Cncl. Leroux thought perhaps this project could be accessed directly onto Hwy. 101, but when the outlot and property to the east is de- veloped, the traffic would be too much. And then, if this property was already assessed for the direct access, it couldn't be later assessed for a connection to the signalized intersection. Discussion continued regarding the costs and pros and cons of a direct access vs. the signalized access at Valleyfair. Leroux/Vierling offered Resolution No. 2484, A Resolution Determining the Necessity for and Authorizing the Acquisition of Certain Property by Proceeding in Eminent Domain for Purposes of Constructing a Roadway, and moved its adoption. Dick Kinzel, for Valleyfair, stated they are not opposing the condem- nation for value reasons, but only because of public health and safety grounds. He passed out a fact sheet regarding access to Prairie House lst Addition. They feel it is more dangerous to have the traffic cross Valleyfair traffic. He pointed out if the City proceeds with condem- nation, it will be responsible for all costs not assessed against the developer, and their estimate of the costs are much higher than those figures supplied by staff. The marquee, in particular, is a market- ing tool which supplies goodwill and has intrinsic value where it is. Mr. Kinzel asked if this condemnation serves a public purpose, or if it is just taking property from one private developer and giving it to another private developer. They are asking the City remove itself from this proposal. John Broker, attorney for Valleyfair, referred to the fact sheet and pointed out they are higher than those proposed by staff. These are all allowable expenses under condemnation. It is difficult for him to understand how this is a valid public purpose, which was even ex- pressed by the City Attorney. He also thinks there would be less of a safety hazard with the direct access to Hwy. 101. He also contacted someone at Mn/DOT who indicated they would give temporary access if a permanent one was being worked on through Alternative No. 1 (Valleyfair access) or Alternative No. 2 (direct access to Hwy. 101) . He would suggest a way to allow the developer to go forward with the develop- ment of his property without the added expense of condemnation, while a permanent solution is sought. Mr. Togas pointed out the Ass't City Attorney's opinion that public purpose could be satisfied in this condemnation proceeding. He said they get no response from Valleyfair in negotiation attempts, and he believes condemnation proceedings need to be started to get them to the bargaining table. Mr. Broker replied they have negotiated, but not successfully. He would suggest a timetable of 90 days for negotia- tions. Cncl. Wampach and Cncl. Lebens spoke in favor of Alternative No. 2. Shakopee Uity council December 3,1985 Page 14 The City Admr, pointed out the difficulty in getting approval from Mn/DOT for signals and cross traffic, so the assumption cannot be made that a signal can be approved in a few years when the traffic warrants it. Discussion followed regarding the chances of a service road and further development and traffic along Hwy. 101. Roll Call: Ayes; Vierling, Colligan, Leroux, Reinke Noes; Wampach, Lebens Motion carried. Dr. Pistulka stated he was present to represent the Scott County Historical Society to ask the City's intentions regarding the re- quest for the conveyance of land in the western portion of the restoration site to the City. Cncl. Lebens explained the suggestion was hers because she wanted to retain access to the river because of some problems fishermen were having in gaining access to the river at Murphy's Landing, with the gate sometimes being closed. However, since that time authorization has been given to begin construction of a pedestrian bridge in Mem- orial Park to gain access to the river. So at this time she doesn't think it is so important. Also in the last year or so there haven't been complaints from people not gaining access. Consensus was to leave the status quo.

Colligan, Leroux, Wampach and Lebens present. Mayor Reinke arrived later. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Admr. ; Judith S. Cox, City Clerk; Jeanne Andre, Com- munity Development Director; Gregg Voxland, Finance Director; Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer and Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney. Discussion ensued with the Finance Director relative to the bids re- ceived for group health and life insurance, with the recommendation being to award the bid to Bankers Life, which had the best over-all package. Leroux/Lebens moved to award the bid for Employee Group Health and Life Insurance to Bankers Life. Roll Call: Ayes; Unanimous Noes; None Motion carried. . The City Admr. explained the next action necessary to ratify the bond sale in the amount of $660,000 for Tax Increment District No. 6. He added these steps are necessary to keep the paperwork moving, but the City Council still has the ability to stop the bids up to the time they are opened. He said the City's financial consultant recommends setting the bonds at this limit, and if the total amount is not needed, the extra money can be used to retire the bonds or used on another project in the district. Leroux/Colligan moved to ratify the sale of $660,000 G.O. Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1985A for Tax Increment District No. 6, and authorize and direct the City Clerk to insert into Resolution No. 2485 the amount of $660,000 and be authorized to certify the same.

Wampach making a motion for tabling an action in which there is an obvious conflict of interest. Cncl. Wampach replied he has every right to defend himself. He wants the Housing Alliance to pack their bags and leave town. If they want to pay the price for his property, fine, but if not he doesn't want them on his property and he doesn't want to sell his property. Cncl. Leroux expressed his belief that Mr. Wampach as a sitting member of HRA had the right to table this action. Mayor Reinke said he could have made the motion on behalf of himself or anyone else. Lebens/Vierling moved to table Resolution No. 2488 until December 17, 1985. Motion carried unanimously. Lebens/Wampach moved to open the public meeting regarding the Holmes Street Storm Sewer Laterals. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Reinke stated this meeting is not required by State Statutes, but it is being held because it is the feeling of the City Council that they want to get as much input as possible for consideration. The City Engineer explained the purpose of the meeting is to discuss the storm sewer needs of the entire City, and the Holmes Street drain- age basin area in particular, the funding policy and the actual costs that will be incurred to the properties in the Holmes Street Basin area. Mr. Ashfeld pointed out the 9 drainage basins in the City and the var- ious needs of each, with the total storm sewer needs in excess of $7 million dollars. He pointed out the location of the in-place trunk and laterals. Mr. Ashfeld said the City implemented in 1985 an over-all storm sewer utility to take the place of special assessments and provide further for the maintenance and construction of new facilities in the future. Mr. Ashfeld compared the old and new funding policies for storm sewer. He explained that historically cities are moving away from flat fees and going to fees based on usage. He used charts and diagrams to ex- plain the comparison of properties by size and land use, to come up with a residential equivalent factor which is used to come up with the cost to each property based on a sensitivity to the amount of run-off generated by each parcel. He explained thatin this basin residential properties take up 73% of the area, but generate only 51.5% of the run- off. Mr. Ashfeld further broke down the total project costs for the Holmes Street Basin, including the benefit for the trunk assessment in 1980. The total residential special benefit would be $6.89/quarter, and with addition of the City wide user fee of $3.44/quarter, the total utility billing for storm sewer would be $10.33/quarter. Mr. Ashfeld explained that vacant land would have its assessments de- ferred until development occurs, at which time it would be assigned its equivalent factor for the use of the property. Shakopee City Council December 10, 1985 Page 3 Robert Wampach, 952 South Scott, asked how the water run-off from the vacant property is paid for. Mr. Ashfeld further explained that vacant parcels are generally grass-covered and don't generate very much run- off. The vacant parcel will be given an assumed residential equivalent factor (REF) based on its zoning, but at the time of development that REF will be assigned based on the actual use, and the property owner will begin paying his full share for 10 years at that point. There- fore, he will be paying his full share, but it just won't start until the property is developed. Ray Siebenaler, 119 West 4th Street, questioned the policy on the tax exempt properties. Mr. .Ashfeld referred to former assessment policy where tax exempt properties such as churches, schools and hospitals did not pay assessments for storm sewer facilities. Under the new utili- ty policy these properties will be paying their share, like everyone else. Mr. Siebenaler asked how long they would be paying this $10.33 fee. Mr. Ashfeld answered that amount is based on 10 years. Once the bonds are paid off, the special benefit cost will drop, but the City-wide fee will remain the same. Stan VonBokern, 933 South Scott Street, asked why the charges are ex- pressed as fees rather than taxes or assessments, which could be ap- plied as a credit on real estate taxes. In his particular case, the amount would be over $100 a year because of this change. The City Admr. explained the difficulty cities have been having in prov- ing benefit with assessments, and therefore storm sewer facilities were not being built. He explained it is only the ad valorem portion of the old assessment that is being lost as a tax benefit. Mr. VonBokern said he isn't disputing the need for storm sewer, or even the amount of it, just the expression of it as a fee rather than assess- ment. He thinks they really are taxes that are being disguised as a fee. His user fees will be 3 times his City taxes, as figured from his 1985 tax statement. Cncl. Leroux explained that expressing this cost as a fee makes it possible to include the tax exempt properties, which is a benefit to all the taxpayers, and which keeps down the total cost of the project. Mr. VonBokern said he is talking about all non-metered fees, such as garbage and this utility, which are 3 times the amount he is paying in taxes. And yet he cannot claim it on his tax statement. Mayor Reinke defended user fees as a way of making people aware of the costs involved. Items included as taxes affect the City's contri- bution to other agencies. It was City Council's consensus that picking up large tax exempt properties would balance any tax losses for citizens. Mayor Reinke said there isn't any problem trying to prove benefit to one parcel of residential or commercial property, but trying to pick up the additional costs from tax exempt properties is what made the old policy impractical. Shakopee City Council December 10, 1985 Page 4 Sister Agnes Otting, of St. Francis Regional Medical Center, stated she is not here to dispute the new policy, and they are willing to contribute their full share. However, she wants to comment that they provide more than a Half Million Dollars in community services that could easily be on the tax rolls. Because of this fee, they will maybe have to cut back on some of them. She mentioned the ambulance service as one service which is heavily subsidized. Mayor Reinke mentioned that service as one the City helps to pay for which is a benefit to the residents. Sister Agnes clarified that it is getting approximately $30,000 from the townships and cities, but the ambulance is actually subsidized almost $100,000. Mayor Reinke asked if there were any other questions from the audience, and there was no response. Mayor Reinke and several Councilmembers mentioned several areas of particular problem with respect to storm water drainage. The City Engineer said he would appreciate hearing from anyone relative to areas of problems and peculiarities before the project is begun. Russ Heltne, 961 South Shumway Street, asked if this project includes the refurbishing of the streets that get torn up, or are there more costs for that. The City Engineer said these costs include re-paving, but not other costs such as new curb, etc. There will be asphalt on the areas that are torn up. The City Admr. further clarified that the streets will just be patched at this time. The City is working on a street rehabilitation program that will come in the future, in conjunction with this project. Mayor Reinke asked if there were any other questions from the audience, and there was no response. Vierling/Leroux moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Cncl. Leroux went over the concerns of the school district as men- tioned in their letter regarding cable concessions. They state they have spent $5,000 for the institutional network and have a grant of $58,000 waiting for the installation, which must be spent within the next 30 days. Cncl. Vierling reported on a meeting she had attended with the Shakopee and Chaska Cable Advisory Committee, in which it was stated they don't want the subscribers to have to frontthe institutional network costs. They were looking into other funding. Leroux/Vierling moved to place on file the letter dated December 1985 from Mr. Stillman of the School District, relating to cable concessions. Motion carried unanimously. Leroux/Vierling moved for a 5 minute recess at 8:51 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. The City Attorney left the meeting. Council convened in executive session to discuss labor negotiations. Shakopee City Council December 10, 1985 Page 5 Leroux/Vierling moved to re-convene as City Council at 9:46 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. The City Admr. explained there is no point in opening the bids for the Housing Alliance bond sale on December 23, 1985 if condemnation hasn't been started. Therefore, he asks Councilmembers to come to the meeting December 17, 1985 prepared to make a decision one way or the other. The City Admr, informed Councilmembers that some of the Industrial Development Bonds for Scottland and Toro may have to be considered at the December 23, 1985 meeting if they can't get ready by December 17, 1985. Mayor Reinke informed Councilmembers about the Senate Transportation meeting that was held in Shakopee last week. Leroux/Lebens moved to adjourn to December 17, 1985 at 8:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m. Judith S. Cox City Clerk Diane S. Beuch Recording Secretary OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ADJ. REG. SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 17, 1985 Mayor Reinke called the meeting to order at 8:02 p.m. with Cncl. Wampach, Colligan, Lebens, Leroux and Vierling present. Also present were John K. Anderson, City Admr. ; Jeanne Andre, Community Development Director; Judi Simac, City Planner, Kenneth Ashfeld, City Engineer and Julius A. Coller, II, City Attorney. Colligan/Vierling moved to recess for an HRA meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Leroux/Vierling moved to re-convene at 9:18 p.m. Motion carried unani- mously. Liaison reports were given by Councilmembers. 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. The City Admr. highlighted the communication from AMM regarding the general meeting to be held January 9, 1985. Leroy Worm addressed the Council regarding the financial problems Valley Ice Arena is having, mostly as a consequence of a much greater insurance cost and the loss of low-cost MEED labor. He pointed out the memo in which the cost for providing open skating time is enumerated, showing a net loss, which they consider is their contribution to the City and the basis for requesting financial aid. The City Admr. informed Councilmembers that the Contingency Fund has a very healthy balance, and funding could be taken from it this year. Mr. Worm said they would appreciate receiving funding for their entire insurance costs for liability, as required by the City, but any amount would be greatly appreciated. He said he has tried to get some funding from Chaska, but since they are not requiring the insurance and the faci- lity is not located in their city, he has been unsuccessful. Leroux/Vierling moved to assist Valley Ice Arena, Inc., a non-profit agency, in the amount of $2776 to offset its loss due to the provision of open skating time to the public. Cncl. Leroux clarified this is a one-time offer. Mr. Worm discussed the possibility of a private indoor ice arena at the mall and the negotiations that have taken place so far. Roll Call: Ayes; Unanimous Noes; None Motion carried. Shakopee City Council December 17, 1985 Page 2 ' Leroux/Vierling moved to authorize the creation of a seven member task force to review alternative bridge and roadway alignments for Shakopee's downtown redevelopment project, setting the membership of the task force as proposed by the Downtown Ad Hoc Committee, accepting the fourteen bridge alignment/roadway alignment alternatives recommended by the Downtown Ad Hoc Committee and accepting the suggested objectives and measures to be used by the task force and selecting a final alternative. Motion carried unanimously. (cc Doc. No. 103) The City Planner went over the changes to the Prairie House 1st Addition plat, since preliminary approval. Cncl. Leroux suggested a provision for the method of payment for right- of-way acquisition outside the plat lines. The City Admr. suggested language used on other plats that requires the developer to submit a petition for the improvement, waiving his right to appeal the assess- ment. Cncl. Leroux wanted more control by the City. Mayor Reinke suggested language regarding the developer's responsibility for street lights. The City Planner stated the plat was reviewed by SPUC, which indicated no street lighting would be necessary. Discussion fol- lowed. Colligan/Leroux moved to table consideration of the final plat of Prairie House lst Addition to allow the developer and staff to meet and come back later in the meeting to present the negotiations regarding these two items. A representative from Springsted, Inc. passed out the bids received for the street reconstruction in Eaglewood. He said they received 6 bids, and the lowest bid from Novick is the lowest bid the City has received since 1980. The property tax levy that would result from this bond is- sue would be reduced. Leroux/Wampach offered Resolution No. 2495, A Resolution Awarding the Sale of $255,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 1986A; Fixing Their Form and Specifications; Directing Their Execution and Delivery; and Providing for Their Payment, and moved for its adoption awarding the bid to M.H.

Shakopee City Council December 17, 1985 Page 3 rr b Dave Swanson, bond counsel, stated the requested change by the First National Bank of Minneapolis in the timing of the payments from semi- annually to quarterly should not have any affect on the issue, except for accelerating it somewhat.

The City Admr. added the intent is that the project would be a 429 project and the developer, along with anyone else, would be assessed accordingly. Considerable discussion ensued regarding possible assessments for Valley Park Drive. Cncl. Leroux pointed out that the B-1 zoning ends with this plat, and the rest of the frontage to the east is AG. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of the frontage road continuing west, tying in with the road in front of Peavey. The City Admr. advocated the regular assessment procedure in which benefit is definitely shown before a pro- perty is assessed. Leroux/Colligan offered Resolution No. 2494, A Resolution Approving the Final Plat of Prairie House 1st Addition, and moved its adoption with the following additions to the conditions for approval: 7f: Lights - be installed in accordance with the requirements of the SPUC Manager. 8. : The developer shall petition for intersection improvements and the extension of Valley Park Drive North to its intersection with the service road and waives right of appeal to the assessment, in accordance with Chapter 429, Public Improvements. Mr. Lions, attorney for the developer, said that if the intersection ends up like it has been shown, they would agree to the assessment. However, if it benefits some other property owner, he thinks that should be reflected in the cost. Mayor Reinke pointed out the developer waives his right to appeal the assessment.

RIES Administrator F.BRANDT RICHARDSON Deputy Administrator BARBARA NESS Administrative Asst. January 3, 1986 Mr. John Anderson City Manager City of Shakopee Shakopee, MN 55379 Dear John: Several months ago the Scott County Board of Commissioners engaged a jail planning consultant to assess the need for and cost of additional county jail facilities through the year 2005. This action was recommended by the County's Criminal Justice Advisory Committee, and by a study made by the Shakopee League of Women Voters. Recently our consultant made an interim report on the first phase of work - the assessment of need. His conclusion is that the need for additional jail space is both urgent and substantial . Upon learning of this conclusion, the Board of Commissioners directed me to consult with the City of Shakopee in regard to further jail planning activities. would appreciate an opportunity to report on the consultant's progress to the Mayor and City Council , and to seek their input before the next phase of work begins. The two most important issues I would like to raise are: * Possibility of a joint City-County public safety building. Some individuals interviewed during the consultant's first phase of work suggested that a combined facility for the both the Shakopee City Police and the Scott County Sheriff's department shculd be considered. it would be helpful to learn as soon as possible whether or not this possibility has merit from the city's perspective. )Location of the bull". The consultant has concluded that it is essential that a jail be directly connected to the courts, in order to maximize security and minimize the labor cost of transporting prisoners. To accomplish this, a new building would have to be located on one of the blocks adjacent to the courthouse. Additionally, the closure of a street could be considered to increase the amount of available land and reduce disruption of existing land uses. An Equal Opportunity Employer January 3, 1986 City of Shakopee - page 2 The Mayor and Council 's input on these issues is essential before we proceed with the next phase of the study - that of estimating the capital and operating costs of a building on three alternative locations. On behalf of the Commissioners, I appreciate your consideration of this matter and look forward to discussing these issues at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, F. Brandt Richardson Deputy Administrator Mr. Robert F. Vierling Re: Second demand for re- 221 E. Fourth Avenue moval and complete dis- Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 missal of Julius Coller, City Attorney, for mal- Shakopee City Council feasance and ineptitude 129 E. First Street in Office . Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 Mayor and Council Members: Following up my letter of Feb. 19 , 1985, I am making a second demand that the Council vote on the dismissal of Julius Coller, alleged City Attorney. I also demand in writing, the results of this vote, the count, the names, and which way the City Council members and Mayor voted. Because of the age and deterioration of Mr. Coller, it' s imperative that this vote not be shelved as it was, by Mr. Leroux in the past. I feel this is necessary because of the continuation of conditions stated in my previous letter. Conditions have wor- sened in that Mr. Coller no longer takes active interest or part in the growing and changing conditions of Shakopee , which makes him a welfare recipient of the taxpayers of the Community. I 've been informed by very reliable sources that signs for "Coller Drive" (Highway 17 ) were ordered and received by the City of Shakopee without the issue ever having been brought to Council . First of all , I wish to know why and by whom this was done; secondly, I wish to know what the cost was; thirdly, I want to know where these signs are stored at the present time ; fourthly, I wish to state that if the City of Shakopee ever in- tends to use these signs naming a street Coller Drive , that it will meet wuth the same opposition (and even moreso) as it did when they were to be used on Marschall Road. There are many people in this town that are much more de- serving than Coller ever was to have a street named after them, and who' s services were gratis and not paid for by the City taxpayers . My Father, Nicholas G. Vierling, was a volunteer fireman for 56 years, plus years that he was a Torch Boy with the Fire Department as a child. This is most likely an International re- cord; still , my Dad was never even given honorable mention in this town. Also, as a matter of fact, I have myself six in- structorships , working with the Red Cross, the DNR, Senior Citi- zens, and other groups. Adding them, in toto, I have over 100 years of service that was given gratis and at my own expense for equipment to this community, outlying areas, and the State of Minnesota. Between my Father and myself, we have over 150 years of continuous service to this community. This doesn' t even include the charities , other contributions , and time my sister, Mrs . Harriet Stein (Vierling) has contributed to this community. why not name a drive after my Father whom the City of Shakopee Qan d .truly be proud of? ! DE- ; 91985 --:-0 Robert F.

Fourth Avenue flagrant and deliberate Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 lying by City Engineer, Bo Spurrier, City Attorney Shakopee City Council Jack Coller, and City Ad- 129 E. 1st Avenue ministrator, John Anderson Shakopee , Minnesota 55379 Mayor and Council Members: Dec . 9, 1985 In a letter received March 7 , 1985 from John K. Anderson, City Administrator, he deliberately stalled me on fixing the tarred alley in block 50. He said that there would be a meet- ing in the spring of all the neighbors abutting this alley. This meeting was never held. The alley in block 50 has been so poorly put in by the City of Shakopee that the water changes directions five dif- ferent times in the course of its' flowing through the alley. The alley was put in crookedly by the City Engineer, Bo Spur- rier, who told me (and for which I have letters of proof) that he "goes by line of sight only" . The alley is also graded too low on the East end by Som- merville Street, but our arrogant City Engineer told me that it was not too low. Still, the City tried to put in curb and gutter but was unable to do so because the road on the West side was to low. Consequently, Spurrier, who is an alleged Engineer, didn't know what he was talking about. The alleyway, as any stupid moron knows, should have been cambered concavely. In simple English, that means that the alley should have been lower in the center than on either side . Now, to make this very short, I am demanding full resti- tution for both myself and my sister, Mrs . Harriet Stein, of the money' s we've both paid, plus interest; and, I demand that the alley be straightened out because it infringes on our property line. Now, there 'll be no compromise on this issue whatsoever. I 've been stalled and lied to on this alley project. It does benefit for only two people who are on the Nest end of the alley. It' s of no service at all to the rest of us . You have only until your next Council meeting to give me your answer. After that time, it will be turned over to my Attorney for legal action which will eventually cost the City of Shakopee much more than the price of the alley. (continued) 7 �Y The Mayor, and at least one of the Council members , has seen this poor excuse for an alley, and I know for a fact that officials that have seen it have mentioned the fact that this alley should not have been put in the way that it was; or have been put in at all . I'm getting sick and tired of paying for errors by the City Engineer and others that are nothing but goof-offs . At least I'm giving you a warning of what is to happen. I don' t stab you in the back as has been done to me several times . There' s not going to be any refixing the alley; I want that money back. I don' t give a damn what you do with this al- ley. The City of Shakopee can' t be trusted, therefore we're going to do it my way. Thank you! ! Sincerely, r V Robert F.

Paul, minnesota 551 01 (61 2) 227-5600 MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Aide RE: Household Rebate Fund Allocation DATE: December 31, 1985 Background: In 1985 Shakopee was eligible to receive $1847 under the Landfill Abatement Cost Recovery Program (Household Rebate Program) . Starting in 1986 , these dollars are to be retroactively reimbursed on an annual basis to communties incurring costs as a result of their waste abatement programs. Problem: In 1985 Shakopee received a one-time grant from the Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED) to fund a demonstration recycling project in our community. The total grant award including a loo city match amounted to $8985 . According to the Household Rebate Program eligibility criteria, cities cannot apply for reimbursement of expenses paid for with other appropriations (grants ) . Additionally, Shakopee could not request reimbursement of our loo DEED match ( $817 ) under the Household Rebate Program. When we add the DEED funds to the available Household Rebate Program funds you will note that we have $10 , 832 ( $1847 + $8985 ) available for recycling related expenses incurred in 1985. Recycling expenses incurred in 1985 are not expected to exceed $9900 . This leaves us with $932 excess dollars. Because staff has exhausted every eligible avenue for expending the available dollars, staff is proposing that council dedicate the remaining Household Rebate Program dollars to the three recycling groups participating in our program for services rendered under the following conditions: 1) that the money be used for recycling related purposes and 2 ) that each group be willing to assist in the distribution of marketing materials. I have been informed by Metropolitan Council staff that this would be an allowable use of the funds under the household rebate program guidelines. It is important to note that this would be a one-time payment as 1986 Household Rebate dollars are being budgeted for the ongoing marketing of the recycling program by the City of Shakopee. Requests for reimbursement under the Household Rebate Program must be made no later than January 15 , 1986 . Reimbursement payments are expected to be received no later than January 31, 1986 . Alternatives: 1. Authorize the City Administrator to request reimbursement in the amount of $915 from the Metropolitan Council for recycling expenses made in addition to Shakopee ' s available grant funds. (Approximately $915 ; DEED grant minus 1985 estimated recycling expenses. ) 2 . Authorize the City Administrator to request reimbursement in the amount of $1847 from the Metropolitan Council for $915 in recycling expenses incurred in addition to Shakopee ' s available grant funds; and for the balance of the $1847 , $932 to be dedicated to the three recycling groups for services rendered in 1985 . 3 . Do Nothing Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends alternative #2 . Action Requested: Move to authorize the City Administrator to request reim- bursement in the amount of $1847 from the Metropolitan Council for recycling expenses incurred in addition to Shakopee ' s available grant funds (approximately $915 ) and for approximately $932 to be dedicated to the three recycling groups for services rendered in 1985 . I�b MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Intern RE: Transit Feasibility Study Final Report Approval DATE: January 2 , 1986 Introduction: The consulting firm of Bennett, Ringrose, Wolsfeld, Jarvis , Gardner, Inc. (BRW) has completed the transit feasibility study for the communities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie and Shakopee. These communities with the exception of Shakopee have approved the consultants recommendations for their communities and are interested in pursuing opt-out status. At this time, they are questioning Shakopee ' s position in regard to the study our future involvement in the project. Background: This past January the Energy and Transportation Committee recommended to City Council that the City of Shakopee become a participant in a transit feasibility study that was going to be conducted for the cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The primary objective of the study from Shakopee ' s viewpoint was to identify more effective ways of providing transit for Shakopee residents. Shakopee ' s financial involvement in the study was not to exceed $7 , 500 . 00 . I was recently informed by our project manager (Mr. Ray Olson) that Chaska has agreed to waive Shakopee' s financial commitment to the study. Last month staff reported the results of the transit feasibility study to the Energy and Transportation Committee. The consultant recommended that Shakopee ' s transit system remain as is with the following three exceptions: 1) Expansion of the dial-a-ride service area to Eden Prairie Center; 2 ) Scale down the dial-a-ride vehicles to more efficient units ; and 3 ) change the name of the system to coincide with whatever name is selected for the larger system. Expanding the dial-a-ride service area would allow Shakopee residents who work in Eden Prairie, Chaska or Chanhassen to get to their worksite via the dial-a-ride and transfer at Eden Prairie Center. Moreover, Minneapolis occasional or regular riders could also use the dial-a-ride transfer system in Eden Prairie. This would allow us at some point in time to perhaps eliminate our flex pool program. Finally, this addition to our system would solve the problem we have when both the regular and backup driver take the same days off. Currently when this occurs riders are forced to carpool. Under the dial-a-ride transfer plan, another option would be available for these riders. Under the consultants proposal Shakopee would maintain complete operating and budgetary control of our transit system. The only interaction with the larger system would be in the shared name, transfer reciprocity agreements and/or joint powers agreement. While the benefits of becoming involved in the opt-out plans of Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie appear to be minimal at this time, in the long run Shakopee would hold on to the flexibility of becoming involved in an affordable and established transit option should our existing system become ineffective. Additionally, it might be beneficial for us to select one council- member (or designee) to serve in an ex-officio or voting capacity on any operating committees that are developed for the Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie system. This would afford us with the opportunity to have some input into the fare structure, routes and service levels developed in Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. Keeping in mind that some day we may become more actively involved in the Chaska , Chanhassen, Eden Prairie System. On December 19 , 1985 the Energy and Transportation Committee moved to recommend to City Council the adoption of the consultants recommendations and Shakopee ' s continued involvement in the development of the Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie System. Alternatives : 1. Adopt the transit consultants recommendations to expand the dial-a-ride service area to Eden Prairie Center when the opt-out system becomes operational in Eden Prairie, Chaska and Chanhassen. Scale down the size of our dial-a-ride vehicles and change the name of our system t3 coincide %j: th t ie ria , selected for the Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie and Shakopee system. In addition, continue our involvement in the development of the Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie System. 2 . Adopt the transit consultants recommendations to improve Shakopee ' s transit system by scaling down the size of the Dial-A-Ride vehicles. 3 . Do not adopt any of the transit consultants recommendations and discontinue our involvement in the development of the Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie system. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative No. 1. Action Reauested: Move to recommend to City Council that the transit consultants recommendation to expand the dial-a-ride service area to Eden Prairie Center when the opt-out system becomes operational in Eden Prairie , Chaska and Chanhassen; scale down the size of the dial-a-ride vehicles and change the name of our system to coincide with the name selected for the Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie and Shakopee System; be adopted. In addition, continue our involvement in the development of the Chaska, Chan- hassen, Eden Prairie System. tw TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Jeanne Andre, Community Development Director RE: Tax-Increment Proposal for Country Village Apartments DATE: January 3 , 1986 Introduction• The City has received a preliminary request for tax-increment assistance from the Ackerberg Companies , Inc. for a rental housing project known as Country Village Apartments . The developer has submitted information which has been reviewed at the staff level and undergone a preliminary financial analysis by Springsted. The developer plans to attend the January 8 , 1986 , Council meeting to give an overview of the proposal and hear comments from the Council. The Council is requested at this time to review the project at a concept level and determine whether staff should continue to work with the developer to initiate the formal tax-- increment procedures. Background: The developer initially applied for rezoning of approximately 6 . 4 acres of land he owns just south of the junior high school and the old Shakopee Valley Publishing building on CR 17 . The rezoning would be from the current B-1 district to an R-4 desig- nation, for the purpose of constructing 108 apartment units. The City Planner told the developer that she could not recommend this rezoning because it would create a spot zone of only 2 . 35 acres just to the north of the developer's parcel, separated from the bulk of B-1 property to the south. The Planning Commission reviewed this request as a discussion item at its April, 1985 , meeting and did not react positively due to the potential for a 2 . 35 acre spot zone or creation of a non-conforming use if Shakopee Valley Publishing were rezoned. The developer is now suggesting that he could acquire the Shakopee Valley Publishing building and expand his proposed project from 108 to 147 units. The current owner has agreed to sell the building to the developer under a 120 day option. If the City Council gives concept approval, the developer would go through a formal tax-increment process including platting and rezoning the three parcels involved. Comments have been received from the Finance Director, Planner, Engineer and Utilities Director. These comments include: 1) The Finance Director is generally opposed to additional use of tax-increment. 2 ) The Planner , Engineer and Utilities Director believe the project can work if the following concerns are addressed: a) need to extend water to this area b) need to confirm location of 13th Avenue, which may require dedication of right-of-way by the developer c) need to get county engineer approval for CR 17 access d) drainage plans need to be submitted and approved e) site plan must address emergency access to the building 3 ) The County Assessor has estimated that the Assessor ' s Market Value of this project on completion would be $3 . 8-4 million with an assessed valuation in the neigh- borhood of $1. 3 million. 4 ) Springsted has done an analysis (attached) assuming continuation of the current 125 mill rate and a $650 , 000 bond sale. This analysis suggests that the project could work with a bond term of 10 years or under. The project costs as proposed are conservative, and could possibly be reduced as details of the district are refined. The estimated costs are: Purchase of Building $450 , 000 Buy-out of existing leases 90 , 000 (relocation could substitute for this item) Prepayment penalty on mortgage 35 , 000 Demolition- and site development 50 , 000 City legal and administration 15 , 000 Bond discount, issuance cost and capitalized interest 110 , 000 Total Costs $750 , 000 Proceeds from sale to developer 100 , 000 Net Bond Sale $650 , 000 The existing city policy suggests the following policies be reviewed by Council when considering approval of tax-increment to the city ( see attached policy statement) : 1. Benefit to the City 2 . Character of the Program 3 . Demonstration of Need 4 . Size of the Project 5 . Project certainty/financial guarantees The Council has the option of rejecting the project now based on the preliminary information available to the Council or granting preliminary approval subject to satisfaction of the formal review and approval procedures for tax-increment ( such as planning approvals , neighborhood meeting, public hearing, county board review, etc. ) . If preliminary approval is granted, Council can chose at this time to set certain parameters such as: 1) Establish maximum TIF proceeds available to developer ( $525 , 000 currently requested) . 2 ) Establish desired proceeds from sale of land to developer ( $100 , 000 currently offered by the developer) 3 ) Set tax level necessary to support tax increment (Asses- sor ' s value established $160 , 000 whereas developer had estimated $100 , 000 ) . 4 ) Set maximum term of district to retire bonds (currently estimated at 10 years or less ) 5 ) Establish that the type of subsidy desired is land write-down and site preparation rather than an interest write-down.

We have projected the tax increment at $139,750, based on the assessed valuations you provided us and based on a continued tax rate of 125 mills. Total taxes paid on the assessed valuation you listed would be $161,500, again assuming 125 mills. That is $61,500 more than the taxes assumed by the developer in his pro forma financial statement. Taxes at that level would turn a positive cash flow of $33,134 into a $28,366 deficit. Our greatest concern for the taxes assumed by the developer is the assessment -,-n#ir it*-rrray-rVave usea. i ne 5 rb"J,JJJ tax level equates closely to a 20% assessment ratio, rather than the 34% ratio used by Mr. Schmitt. Since some apartment properties do qualify for a 20% ratio, we suggest you discuss this matter with the developer. At this writing there has been no definitive decision on the effective date of the new tax bill. Unless the effective date is extended it will not be possible to issue these bonds after January I, 1986 without an IDB allocation. We suggest you keep us informed as to the status of the project over the next several weeks so that we may keep you appraised as to your financing options. Very--sincerely yours, Robert D.

Jeanne Andre Executive Director Housing and Redevelopment Authority City of Shakopee 129 East First Avenue Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 Re: Shakopee Village Apartments Dear Judy and Jeanne: We are pleased to submit to you with this letter the following items: 1 ) four (4) copies of the City of Shakopee Application, Tax Increment Financing Assistance Form, completed as requested; 2) four (4) copies of our drawing entitled, "Shakopee Village Apartments, 1267 Marschall Road (County Road 17) , Shakopee, Minnesota," Sheet 1 , Commission No. 85-11 , dated December 11 , 1985, which contains thereon the site plan, site location map, building section and statistical site information; 3) four (4) copies of a bound book which contains proposed floor plans for Shakopee Village Apartments, a schedule of apartment types, site information statistics and our preliminary pro forma statement for the subject project. By means of this letter, we are asking the City of Shakopee through your good offices to initiate the necessary steps required to create a tax increment district for the subject property which consists of our property having a P. I.D. Number of 27-907-009-0 and the property referred to as the old "Valley Publishing" property owned by Donna and Kenneth Theis and having P.I.D. Numbers of 27-907-0080 and 27-907-009-1 . (We have executed a purchase agreement to acquire the old "Valley Publishing" property. ) Please review the enclosed and attached material and advise us what additional information, procedures, applications or fees are required from us to obtain Ms. Judy Simac and Ms. Jeanne Andre December 16, 1985 Page 2 the formal approvals from the City in pursuance of this application. If we can provide you with any additional information or respond to any further quest* rding this matter, please advise me promptly. 7 J COS, Ile SMA:cs Enclosures The Ackerberg Companies, Ltd. Page 3 7. e. Other assets to accrue to the community. This apartment development will offer large quality orientated rental apartments at affordable market rates. They will add stability and growth to the surrounding area by hastening increased development in the adjacent B-1 zoning areas and by development of other vacant land. This development will require the complete removal of the unsightly "Valley Publishing Building" located adjacent to and immediately south of the Junior High School property. The proposed development will provide a graceful transition between the established R-2 "Urban Residential" neighborhood and the future development of the B-1 "Highway Business" area located at the proposed access from C.S.A.H. No. 17 (Marshall Road) onto the proposed Highway No. 101 bypass. As a result of this development, other additional benefits will accrue to' the immediate area such as the extension of water, sewer and other utility services to serve the property which, in turn, will provide immediate utility services to provide services to other properties located west and south of the development property. The requested approval of the rezoning application and Tax Incre- ment Financing Assistance Program will clarify and align an inconsistency created in the original comprehensive zoning boundaries caused by the existence of the old "Valley Publishing Building." This required an extension of the B-1 zoning category into the R-2 zoning area due to the need to include the "Valley Publishing Building: within the B-1 zoning district. 8. Traffic - to the extent feasible, identify: a. Projected vehicle counts caused by development of the district. Recent vehicle traffic forecasts indicate that the C.S.A.H. 17 roadway segment located adjacent to the proposed development carries approximately 5,000 vehicles daily. Based upon the nature of our anticipated renters attracted to our properties, we anticipate that the completed development will generate less than 500 trips daily with no more than 40 trips generated during the peak A.M. hour and no more than 60 trips generated during the peak P.M. hour. This forecast is based upon our proposed tenant mix and the demographics of the development which will increase the northerly flowing traffic volume on C.S.A.H. 17 by less than an estimated 2 to 3 percent and by less than a 1% increase to the traffic volume flowing south on C.S.A.H. 17 from the site. LOW & MODERATE INCOME CITY OF SHAKOPEE APPLICATION TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ASSISTANCE BACKGROUND INFORMATION Legal name of applicant: The Ackerberg Companies, Ltd. Address: 4201 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416 Telephone number: 612/920-9020 Name of contact person: S. M. Ackerberg or Alan Ackerberg DISTRICT INFORMATION Addendums shall be addached hereto addressing in detail : 1 . Location - include a location map with exact boundaries of projected develop- ment as proposed. Refer to Site Location Map on attached Drawing Sheet 1, entitled Shakopee Village Apartments, dated December 11, 1985, Commission No. 85-11. 2. Size - describe the size of the proposed project in terms of acres. Show parcel boundaries, if known. 8.88 acres (386,872.2 square feet) . Parcel boundaries are 601.2 feet in the east/west direction and 643.5 feet in the north/south direction. Refer to Site Plan drawing for parcel boundaries and site plan configuration. 3. Use - describe the proposed uses for the property, by parcel , if known. Construction, ownership, operation and management of a 147 unit rental apartment building with on-site parking facilities and related amenities. 4. Value - list the estimated market value to result from the project by year and by parcel , by building and other appropriate spatial subdivision. The estimated value of the completed rental apartment development, including land, will total approximately $5,000,000.00. 5. Timing - describe the timing of the development improvements. Construction of the development is scheduled to commence during March, 1986, and be fully completed by November 30, 1986. Partial occupancy of the building is anticipated by August, 1986. -1- The Ackerberg Companies, Ltd. 1 bCLI_ Page 2 6. Interest Rate Reduction Program - -identify the level of interest rate reduction proposed and how much of it will be financed by the developer and how much by the use of tax increment financing. We do not believe this interest rate reduction program is applicable to this proposed development. 7. Impact - to the extent feasible, identify: a. Temporary construction jobs to be created. Approximately 40 plus local tradespersons will-be employed for periods up to 12 months in the construction of this project. b. Valuation to be added. The anticipated market value of the completed development will be approximately $5,000,000. C. Impact on current housing market and local developer/builders. Previous and current rental market surveys confirm the existence of an extremely low vacancy rate in Shakopee and surrounding communities. This low vacancy rate, which has prevailed since late 1983, confirms a strong demand for rental housing in the local Shakopee rental market. Accordingly, the development of these apartments will fulfill an unmet housing need and establish a stronger housing base to satisfy the positive rental market demands resulting from the high ratio of employment as compared to the present population base. One can anticipate that other major commercial developments scheduled for Shakopee will continue to attract an increasing 12-month employment base which will require affordable and quality rental housing. d. Impact on the city's housing stock as it relates to the city's Housing Assistance Plan. This proposed development will not create any adverse impact on the City's current housing stock or Housing Assistance Plan since the proposed apartment development will be a market rate rental property and will not directly compete with the existing rental housing in the community. The rents proposed for this project will be higher than the existing apartment rents. The proposed building features, quality, size of the apartments, amenities and services offered by this development will attract another segment of the rental market. In fact, this proposed rental development will attract a resident who might not otherwise choose to reside in Shakopee for lack of rental housing which is appropriate to their lifestyle. The Ackerberg Companies, Ltd. Page 4 8, b. Impact on existing traffic arteries. The present design and designation of C.S.A.H. 17 as a minor arterial roadway will safely accommodate any increased traffic generated by this development. We anticipate no adverse impact to existing traffic arteries. C. Plan for traffic flow. The primary vehicle access to the parking and garage areas serving this development will be from the extended 13th Avenue which is scheduled to be located along the south border of the property. A secondary access serving the same parking and garage area will be provided from C.S.A.H. 17. A guest parking and passenger drop-off area will be served from C.S.A.H. 17 and will be restricted to short term visitor parking and pick-up and drop-off area located at the public entrance to the building. 9. Need - explain why -the improvement is not one that would normally be financed by the private developer and why the costs of the improvement cannot be paid by the applicant. The cost of acquiring and combining the old "Valley Publishing" property with the developer's property will be substantially more costly than acquiring undeveloped and unimproved land because the existing structure is presently leased and being used by three or more tenants. Therefore, the economic value of the improved property substantially exceeds its market value when utilized for-additional apartment units for the proposed rental apartment development. It becomes necessary, therefore, to "write-down" the current market value of the "Valley Publishing" property through the use of tax increment financing assistance to a value consistent with its use for a rental apartment building. 10. Pro Forma Refer to the attached Pro Forma prepared for this rental apartment development.

We have recently learned that this name is already in use in the community. We, therefore, ask that you formally change the name of our proposed development on our Application and other documents to "Country Village Apartments/Shakopee." 2) The construction of our proposed development will consist of a three-story wood frame rental apartment building which will be divided into six or more fire divisions, each separated from each other by approved masonry fire walls. The interior surface wall and ceiling materials will be fire code gypsum drywall . All common apartment wall and ceiling areas, including corridors, will be separated with sound insulation materials. The exterior wall F surfaces of the building will be faced with a combination of masonry, cedar siding and shingle materials. Windows will be wood casement- type glazed with insulating glass. One enclosed and detached garage stall will be provided for each apartment. Additional surface park- ing will be available to serve the residents and their guests. 3) Other available building amenities and features include but are not limited to such items as air conditioning, wall to wall carpet- ing, a full kitchen appliance package, corridor ventilation, library and lounge areas, a large party room, physical fitness and exercise rooms, dual laundry rooms on each floor, a full building security system, fire alarm and smoke detection systems, on-site live-in caretakers and resident manager, large closets, a large variety of floor plans providing exceptionally large apartments, ceramic tile bathrooms, quality oak trim, millwork and doors , balconies and patio areas, well maintained, planted and groomed grounds with formal garden areas, drapery rods, quality hardware with security deadbolts for each apartment door, closed circuit TV security system, and an owner/management team having more than 30 years of continuous experience in constructing, owning and managing other similar properties. We also enclose an area map of the immediate project area which locates and identifies adjacent properties by the owner's name, tax identification number and zoning category. We have also indicated by a red line the common dividing property line located between our property and the recently acquired Kenneth Theis property which is being added to our property to further enhance our proposed development. Attached to this letter is a detailed schedule of construction costs prepared for this project. Our initial pro forma statement has been expanded to reflect the anticipated 10-year income and expense tabulations for this property commencing in 1987. The pro forma statement also reflects what effect the City's participation could have on our property by creating a Tax Increment Financing District for US. If tax exempt revenue bonds can be provided by the City of Shakopee for our proposed development, we wish to be considered in such a program for the financ- ing of this development. If tax exempt revenue bonds are made available to us, we estimate that our equity in the completed project will be $625,000.00. If there is any other or additional information required to prepare our proposal for presentation to the Shakopee City Council and Planning Commission, please advise. We will promptly provide you with any additional material required.

OTHER INFORMATION Provide any further information you feel may assist the City in assess- ing the merits of this proposal . COUNCIL POLICY STATEMENT CITY OF SHAKOPEE Subject : Review of Tax Increment Low and Moderate Income Housing Projects There are three types of Tax increment Financing (TIF) Districts : Redevelopment , Low & Moderate Income Housing Interest Reduction Programs and Economic Development . Shakopee has elected to restrict TIF availability for any type of low and moderate income or conven- tional housing unless it meets Redevelopment Project Criteria out- lined in a separate Policy Statement ( i .e. TIF availability is restricted for housing on bare land) . TIF is available for Economic Development Projects and Redevelopment Projects under separate, but similar, Policy Statements . Minnesota statutes place the responsibility for low and moderate income interest reduction programs with housing and redevelopment authorities . Under Minnesota statutes , however, the interest reduction program and tax increment financing plans of the authority must be approved by the City Council . In addition, the financing of such projects requires the active involvement of the City. As a result , it is necessary that the City have a policy in regard to these projects . The purpose of this policy statement is to establish the City' s restrictions with respect to the processing of requests for, and the creation and implementation of, tax increment financing districts for low and moderate income housing. STATEMENT OF POLICY Applicability It is the policy of the City of Shakopee to provide interest rate reduction programs to assist the financing of the construction, rehabilitation, and purchasing of housing units which are primarily for occupancy by individuals of low or moderate income and related or subordinate facilities (MSA 462 .445 , Subd. 10 ) in order to pro- tect and increase property values and the tax base of the City. For those purposes , it may be necessary to create tax increment low and moderate income housing districts in selected portions of the City and to fund interest rate reduction programs for private developments within such districts . It is also the policy of the City of Shakopee to limit (restrict ) the use of TIF interest rate reduction programs to programs that provide home ownership on a scattered site basis with the TIF interest rate reduction provided to the homeowner rather than the builder/developer for quality homes compatible with the neighborhood. Creation of tax increment low and moderate income housing districts may come as the result of City initiative , Housing and Redevelopment Authority action, or a private proposal . It is in the public interest that the creation of tax increment districts and the financing of low and moderate income interest reduction programs with tax incre- ments be made only after the City has been fully informed concerning the proposal and its current and future prospects , and has been able to thoroughly investigate it . Where a company or individual is requesting creation of a tax increment district or the financing of interest rate reduction programs via tax increments , that company or individual will be required to furnish certain information needed for such investigation and will be required to assume the costs of the City' s efforts . It shall be the expressed intent of the City to expedite to the great- est extent feasible the processing of all requests for the approval of tax increment projects so that no undue delays are experienced by the applicant . However, nothing herein shall be construed as representing a commitment on the part of the City to create tax increment districts . Policy The following policies will be observed in the Council ' s considera- tion of the approval of tax increment projects : 1 . Benefit to the City: For purposes of determining benefit of a proposed tax increment district or project , both its estimated economic and other benefits shall be considered : ( 1 ) The economic benefit is the increased tax base that will result , not only in terms of the absolute increase in the tax base , but also with respect to how great an increase will be received from a given public investment ; ( 2 ) Equally important is the contribution the proposal makes in creating needed housing units in accordance with the City ' s adopted Housing Assistance Program; ( 3 ) The level of other public and private investment involved in the project ; (4 ) The overall risk or exposure to loss of City funds included in the project ; and ( 5 ) The degree to which competition in neighboring communities dictates use of such programs to create competitive housing markets in Shakopee . 2 . Character of Program: A viable program should typically include participation by botH the applicant( s ) and the City in reducing interest rates for low and moderate income individuals . Examples of such participation include : ( 1 ) A firm commitment by the applicant ( s ) to build a specified number of the program' s housing units or an equivalent commitment ; ( 2 ) A firm commitment by the applicant ( s ) to contribute a stated level of interest rate reduc- tion from non-increment sources ; ( 3 ) Participation by several experienced developer/builders to insure that the program' s success or failure does not depend upon on only one or two developer/builders ; and (4 ) The demonstrated quality of the units L proposed and their capability with housing units in the neighbor- hood. 3 . Demonstration of Need: A request for tax increment financing shall demonstrate that feasible alternative financing is not available and that the assistance applied for is needed in the amount requested. The developer( s ) will be asked to submit a proforma , an estimate of the costs and revenues of the project , the amount of private capital in the project , and other informa- -3- tion as deemed essential for analysis by the City. Such analysis will either be made by staff or through the City' s financial con- sultant when considered necessary. An applicant who is not willing to provide this information to the City should not make a formal request for tax increment financing assistance. 4. Size of the Project : Because of the time and cost involved in analyzing a request for tax increment financing, and because tax increment financing should only be used in those instances where the project will have a demonstrable positive impact on the community as a whole , requests for tax increment financing of less than $100 ,000 will not be considered as a general rule. A request of this minimum size would require a redevelop- ment to increase the market value of the property by $1 ,000,000 assuming the 10-to-1 ratio noted above. 5 . Project Certainty/Financial Guarantees : In addition to the other factors , favorable consi eration or tax increment financing will be based on ( 1 ) When the development is expected to occur; ( 2 ) The demonstrated capacity of the applicant ( s ) to successfully w< complete the development , and ( 3 ) The certainly that the tax increments will be received. Tax Increment Revenue Bonds or General Obligation Bonds will not be used to fund low and moderate income interest reduction pro- grams. Increments will be utilized directly to write down interest rates to insure maximum protection for the City. Appli- cants for tax increment financing for interest reduction pro- grams will be required to sign an acceptable written agreement setting forth the responsibilities of the applicant and the City with respect to the program. The performance of the appli- cant under such contract shall be supported by presentation of a financial guarantee in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit . Procedure The following procedures will be utilized in reviewing tax increment financing proposals : 1 . A written request shall be submitted concurrently to the City Administrator ' s office and to the Executive Director of the Shakopee Housing and Redevelopment Authority by the person or firm requesting the City and HRA to utilize the City' s tax increment financing capacity. The request shall contain, at a minimum, the information in the pre-application form. 2 . Upon submission, the request shall be reviewed by a committee chaired by the City Administrator and consisting of the Planner, City Engineer, Public Works Director, Utilities Director, County Assessor , Finance Director, and HRA Executive Director to determine , on a preliminary basis , whether the proposal appears to be feasible. 3 . The application and supporting financial data shall be submitted to the City' s Financial Consultant for review. -4- � C� 4. The preliminary proposal shall be placed on the next regularly scheduled agendas of the HRA and of a City Council Work Session for their preliminary review. At those times , the applicant( s ) may make a presentation, and staff will make preliminary comments concerning the perceived feasibility of the project . 5 . Based on the preliminary review, the applicant ( s ) may elect to file a formal application with the City, accompanied by a fee of $500. 6 . Upon the filing of a formal application, staff shall proceed to complete a tax increment financing analysis which shall examine in detail the proposal ' s financial viability (which may include a full appraisal by staff or M.A. I . ) , and benefit to the commu- nity as outlined in the policies above . 7 . The applicant ( s ) shall attend at least one ( 1 ) meeting with resi- dents and property owners in and within 500 feet of the proposed tax increment district conducted by the City Council and HRA. 8 . After the meeting noted in Step 7 and upon completion of the tax increment financing analysis , a recommendation will be made to the City Council and HRA. Based upon that recommendation, the Council and HRA may authorize the staff to commence negotia- tion of a low or moderate income interest reduction program. 9 . Negotiation of the interest reduction program contract prepared by the HRA occurs . 10. During the negotiation of the contract , a tax increment financing plan will be prepared by staff with notification being provided to Scott County and the School District , if such plans have not already been adopted. 11 . If a redevelopment plan is needed, such plan shall be transmitted to the Planning Commission for review and comment . 12 . The HRA will be asked to approve a contract and a tax increment financing plan and redevelopment plan in the event such plans are needed. 13 . The City Council will be asked to approve the redevelopment con- tract and, if necessary and after the appropriate public hearings (noticed via published notice and notice mailed to property owners in and within 500 feet of the proposed district ) , a tax increment financing plan and redevelopment plan. 14. The adopted plans will be filed with Scott County and the State of Minnesota. 15 . Tax increment bonds are issued. RESOLUTION NO. 2191 A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ADOPTING CERTAIN TAX INCREMENT POLICIES RELATED TO THE USE OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FOR INTEREST RATE REDUCTION PROGRAMS FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES WHEREAS , the Shakopee City Council has spent considerable time considering the adoption of certain policies in connection with tax increment financing for interest rate reduction programs for low and moderate income families and has determined upon the adoption of certain .policies in dealing with such projects .

City A Lorne ; --'"" i TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Jeanne Andre, Community Development Director RE: Professional Services for Huber Park Trail Grant DATE: January 3 , 1986 Introduction: Two years ago the City received authorization to expend LAWCON/LCMR grant funds for park improvements along the Huber Park Trail. Under grant regulations funds are to be expended by the end of 1986 . Plans and specifications need to be drawn up so the project can be bid and implemented in 1986 . Background• The City has delayed moving forward on these improvements until the DNR trail was constructed and the new bridge alignment is established. The former is now complete , but a committee has just been established to work on the bridge alignment. Ideally the City would wait to deal with the trail improvements until the road alignment is set. However at this point that delay could jeopordize receipt of grant funds . Therefore staff has recommended that a consultant be hired to do the plans and specifications, with a directive to keep informed of the progress on the road alignment, and propose landscaping which willavoid probable disruption due to road construction. The Engineering Department does not have staff time available now to assist with this project. Because Westwood Planning and Engineering is familiar with the downtown, and is just reaching a conclusion on the streetscape elements , . a proposal was obtained from that firm to do the work for the Huber Park Trail landscaping ( attached) . Reauested Action: Authorize Huber Park Landscape Architectural Services as outlined in the October 23 , 1985 , proposal from Westwood Planning and Enginering at a cost not to exceed $2000 to be part of the grant project expenses.

As I understand the potential project; landscape improvements along the trail and at the boat launch are desired. I believe there are landscape architectural services we can provide relative to this desire. This letter is our proposal for Landscape Architectural Services on this project. Our services and our corresponding charges are as follows: 1. Field check existing trail plans against on site conditions. Prepare a site plan which approximates conditions based on observed (but not surveyed) information. Any improved site data provided by the City (as built trail plans, etc. ) will be used but not cross-verified by Westwood Planning & Engineering Company. 2. Provide a preliminary planting concept and cost estimate, working toward a total cost of $24,000.00. 3. Review plan with City personnel and revise plan to reflect recommen- dations of staff. 4. Provide plant materials list and installation and materials specifi- cations for use in bidding. 5. The cost for this work shall not exceed $2,000.00. This estimate is based on the understanding that the work described in the bid specifications shall not exceed $22,000.00 (using actual bids to verify costs). If incurred costs exceed this amount by more than 1OX because the City wishes to expand the project, additional fees shall be negotiated. Westwood Planning & Engineering Company has four (4) Registered Landscape Architects and a Park Planner. These professionals have worked on the Landscape plan for the Maple Grove and Brooklyn Center City Hall; landscape planning for the Shingle Creek Park Trail in Brooklyn Center; detailed trails, bollards, guardrails, and benches in many parks, in addition to designing the landscape work for the new Brainerd Public Library, and Cambridge Community College. 7415 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 65426 (612) 5460155 October 23, 1985 Jeanne Andre Page 2 We shall initiate work only upon instructions to proceed .and shall complete work for spring planting in 1986. We shall expect the City to provide us base data, mylar base maps, and any other support necessary to augment our services which are Landscape design oriented (surveying, redrafting, engineering services, final plan printing, and bidding shall be by the City Public Works Department). If this proposal is accepted, an authorizing signature should be placed on the bottom of this proposal or a brief letter referencing this proposal shall be an acceptable notation of our agreement on services and fees. We shall wait to hear if the Council chooses to undertake this project.

Anderson, City Administrator RE: Physical Reorganization of City Hall Offices DATE: December 30 , 1985 Introduction The City has learned unofficially that the Job Service will be moving February 1st from the second floor of the City Hall building to offices in the newly remodeled Minnegasco building. Because this will open up additional office space in City Hall the Community Development Department has asked that I address the subject of physical office reorganization with Council. Background The Department of Community Development is one of the most severely handicapped departments because of the various physical locations of their staff and the lack of meeting space for meetings with developers. Because of this, the department has asked me to request that City Council consider the physical relocation of the department to provide for a more suitable work environment. Their plan involves moving the departmental secretary from the front reception area, with a request to occupy the Job Service area which is soon to be vacated. Based on the department ' s request we had a staff meeting on December 30 , 1985 with other effected departments. The point was made that the management consultant will be looking at possible increased staffing levels ( and therefore increased space needs ) as well as the efficiency of service delivery for various city departments. Therefore a change in space at this time may not account for all necessary factors which should be considered. Consensus was that no physical changes be made until the consultant' s report is submitted eight weeks from now, and that options including relocation of other departments will remain as possibilities. However because the Community Development Department feels an urgent need and does not want to miss the opportunity for improvement of their work environment, they have requested that the Council be brought in to preliminary discussion of the space needs now, in anticipation of possible changes in two months. Those issues that effect the Council include 1 ) agreeing to keep the second floor of City Hall vacant until the consultant ' s report is done and 2 ) preliminary consideration of moving Council Chambers out of City Hall until a new City Hall is constructed. This latter option is in response to the possible need to have office space more conveniently located adjacent to other departments, as well as the fact that the space is currently less than adequate for many public meetings due to its small size and lack of handi- capped accessible restrooms . The Council could meet at the County Courthouse assembly room, board meeting room, the fire station meeting room, or some other space now made available to the public at no charge if moving of Council Chambers is pursued. Staff is not suggesting that either of these requests would be final, only that Council consider them prior to the receipt of the consultant ' s staffing analysis. At that time the data from the staffing analysis would be combined with existing depart- mental needs and space available to provide a final set of recom- mendations for office reorganization. Alternatives 1. Agree to keep the second floor of City Hall vacant until the staffing study is completed in approximately eight weeks and give preliminary consideration to moving Council Chambers to another location. This alternative would provide r the maximum number of alternatives for final consideration by staff and Council in obtaining optimum office relocation for the various departments housed in City Hall. 2 . Agree to keep the second floor of City Hall vacant until the staffing study is completed in approximately eight weeks , but give no further consideration to the moving Of the Council Chambers. This alternative would limit the possibilities available under alternative No 1 . , but should be seriously considered by Council if Council does not want the Council meetings moved under any circumstances . 3 . Allow staff to consider any alternatives available without making any prior commitment to keep the second floor vacant until the staffing study is completed or without stating how Council feels about utilizing the present Council Chambers for offices and moving Council meetings . Recommendation The department heads currently housed in City Hall recommend alternative No. 1 for the reasons listed above. Action Reauested Pass a motion directing the appropriate City officials to keep the second floor of City Hall vacant after the Job Service moves out Feburary 1st until a final report is received on staffing needs from the consultant, and d4rect the appropriate City staff to analyze alternatives that might utilize the Council Chambers for office space by relocating City Council meetings . JKAjjms A`yi2e"L1 MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Jeanne Andre , Community Development Director RE: Secretarial Help for Community Development DATE: January 3 , 1986 Introduction: Last summer when the Community Development Department was inundated with work the Council authorized additional part- time secretarial assistance to help. That authorization was through 1985 . As some clerical overload is still anticipated a request is hereby made to extend that assistance. Background: Donna Doege now works approximately 10 hours per week for the City through Valley Temporary Staffing. She works on an as needed basis , mostly for Community Development but helping out other departments as needed. She is a good worker and has become familiar with many City procedures . While work over- load has leveled off somewhat , it is not down to a slower pace sometimes encountered in the winter months . There will be heavy workload in January for the small cities grant and Administra- tion and Building will need assistance in February due to clerical vacations . It is therefore recommended that the City continue to utilize parttime temporary clerical assistance until the consulting report on staffing levels has been reviewed and acted upon by the Council . Requested Action: 1 . Authorize continued use of parttime temporary clerical assistance as needed until the Ernst and Whinney Service Mix and Staff Analysis has been accepted and acted upon by the City Council . 2. Amend the Community Development 1986 budget to provide an additional $700 from contingency for professional services . JA: cah j TO: Mayor, Council Members FROM: Tom Brownell, Chief of Police RE: 1986 Towing Contract DATE: January 2 , 1986 INTRODUCTION Staff has completed the required bid process for the 1986 towing and storage of vehicles for the city. BACKGROUND One bid was received from Shakopee Towing (Koehnen' s) and no others. The cost of towing and storage for 1986 remains the same as bid for 1985 . Heavy duty towing for vehicles such as semi trucks will also continue to be sublet, and the appropriate insurance coverage forms will be provided to the city clerk. RECOMMENDATION Award the 1986 city towing contract to Lester Koehnen (Shakopee Towing Co. ) COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED r Award the 1986 city towing contract to Lester Koehnen (Shakopee Towing Co. ) MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Ray Ruuska, Assistant Engineer RE: Taylor Street Assessments DATE: December 30 , 1985 Introduction: As you requested, I have researched City Council minutes regarding the above mentioned project. The extension of Taylor Street has been to Council several times in the last few years and has recently been extended on a supplementary contract to the 2nd Ave. Parking Lot Project. Background• City Council minutes that dealt with Taylor Street were dated 8/17/82 , 9/6/83 and 10/15/85 . Those minutes with the corresponding t staff memos are attached and are chronologically labeled "A" , "B" and "C" . It is important to note that on 12/18/82 an escrow deposit of $5000 . 00 was made to the City by the developer, for the purpose of roadway construction and was subsequent to the 8/17/82 Council meeting where he was told that there would be no storm sewer assessment against Minnesota Valley 5th Addition properties . A copy of the developers agreement for this same subdivision is attached (Attachment "D" ) which does not require roadway or storm sewer improvements in Minnesota Valley 5th Addn. The minutes of 9/6/83 indicate that City Council attempted to provide a mechanism through a more "formal" escrow agreement with the developer which would have allowed him to sell the property in Minnesota Valley 5th Addition and fronting on Taylor St. However, that agreement could not be reached with the developer. On October 15 , 1985, City Council ordered the Taylor Street improvements be made under Supplemental Contract No. 1 to Project 85-4 with the storm sewer costs to be paid by the escrow account. All earlier Council minutes show that storm sewer costs were to be borne by the future Minnesota Valley 6th and 7th Additions . However, negotiations with the developers did not result in any agreements . Recommendations: As an alternative to charging the storm sewer costs against the escrow deposit, one-half of the total project cost of $11, 970 . 88 , less the cost of the storm sewer could be paid out of the escrow account. The remaining costs could be paid out of the Capital Improvement Fund. Action Requested: Move to authorize payment of storm sewer costs and one-half the cost of the street improvement out of the Capital Improvement Fund. The remaining cost to be paid out of the escrow account. Actual accounts to be based on final costs upon completion of the project in the spring of 1986 . Estimated Costs Escrow Account $3 , 345 . 44 Capital Improvement Fund $8 , 625. 44 Also move to direct City staff to record the storm sewer cost of this improvement for future assessment to the undeveloped area to the south according to the City' s assessment policy. C, MEMOTO: Mayor and Council FROM: John K. Anderson, City Administrator RE: Minnesota Valley Fifth Addition DATE: August 13 , 1982 Introduction Dick Wiggin appeared before the City Council on August 3 , 1982 to discuss two problems relating to his plat for Minnesota Valley Fifth Addition. The first problem related to the driveway loca- tion on the lot across from the Mall entrance on 12th Avenue . The second problem relates to storm sewer construction , its timing , and who should pay for it . Investigation The Mayor , City Engineer , Councilman Wampach and I met with Dick and Bill Sinn at the site on August_ 5 , 1982 . The concern about the driveway location was resolved . The City agreed that a drive- way could be constructed approximately 75 feet from the south curb line on 12th Avenue . The storm sewer involves 54 feet of storm sewer that needs to be installed before Mr. Wiggin can do the final paving of Taylor Street . It ways suggested that the cost be assessed to lands to be developed in the future and lying south of Minnesota Valley Fifth. Therefore , if Mr. Wiggin and Mr. Watson, the other landowner involved, were to agree in advance to the assessment , the City could build the storm sewer with PIR Funds , spread the assessments to repay the PIR Fund , and constuct the storm sewer so Mr. Wiggin could then complete Taylor Street over the storm sewer to comDlete his development requirements for Minnesota Valley Fifth. Mr. Wiggin agrees that the assessments will be spread now and that when Minnesota Valley 6th and 7th are developed he would pay the balance pursuant to present developers agreements . 1 contacL`ed r,ir. LYliael of Watson Construction, -he only other land- owner in the craina,e basin , and he a-greed to the assessment concept . Thei-cLore , the Council 'las two clear al_ernatives . Storm Sewer Alternatives 1 . Do nothing. In this case Mr. Wiggin could not complete Minnesota Valley Fifth, would be subject to a continued escrow, and would not be able to put in a second driveway for garages to his 4-plex. 2 . Construct the storm sewer. with PIR Funds and assess the cost by prior agreement to the "benefited" property owners . This would resolve all of the above problems and get the storm sewer extended 54 feet to the edge of the Minnesota Valley Fifth Addition plat where it should be. 3 . Other. Minnesota Valley Fifth Addition Page Two August 13 , 1982 Recommendation Staff recommends alternative #2 with the condition that we receive written assessment agreements from Watson Construction and Mr. Wiggin. This will allow Mr. Wiggin to properly complete the public improvements for Minnesota Valley Fifth . Action Requested 1 . Authorize staff to obtain storm sewer assessment waivers of hearings from Mr. Wiggin and Watson Construction accepting the cost of 54 feet of storm sewer estimated to cost $1860 said costs to be spread over properties they own in the drainage basin. JKA/jms QJ ME,N10 TO : John K . Anderson City Administrator �, ) 6 FROM : H . R. Spurrier l �� City Engineer 7 RE : Minnesota Valley 15th Ad tion Storm Sewer City of Shakopee Storm Sewer Policy DATE : July 19, 1982 Introduction : The City has policy for the extension of storm sewer. Application of the policy as it relates to laterals and trunks presents a problem. Background : A storm sewer is an element of public improvements required for the property south of Valley lvoll including Minnesota Valley 5th Addition. In an effort to establish funding responsibility for the storm sewer, it became clear that City policy was unclear in specifying that responsibility. The present policy assumes that somehow the definition of "lateral" and "trunk" exist. These definitions do not exist and the actual definition used by the City is a policy matter, not an Engineering definition. There are some Engineering facts that are necessary for the definition but these facts relate to oversizing required to accommodate increased runoff as a result of existing or proposed land disturbing activities. There are many approaches to establishing the definition of "laterals" and "trunks" . Listed below is a recommended criteria for each : 1 . Trunks a. Required pipe serves an area upstream and beyond the assessed or developed area. b. Required pipe size is larger than a specific minimum diameter, 36 inches (any diameter 18 inch and greater could be used) . c. Required pipe size would be smaller if the tributary basin was un- developed. John K . Anderson -2- July 19, 1982 Il . Laterals a. Required pipe size is sr,raller than 33 inches (any diameter greater than 18 inch could be :;pccificdl . b. Required pipe does not have to be extended beyond the development or assessed area. Listed below are four alternatives for specifying and assessing storm sewer laterals and trunk : Alternate I Present policy as administered: Laterals 18 inch/greater Trunks 18 inch/greater Developer is responsible for the entire cost of any pipe which serves the developed land. The City pays half the cost of any pipe which serves land outside the development. Alternate II : Present policy modified: Laterals 18 inch/36 inch Trunks 42 inch/greater Developer- is responsible for the entire cost of pipe 18 inch through 36 inch. City pays half the cost of 42 inch and larger. Alternate III : Specific pipe size: Laterals 18 inch/36 inch Trunks 42 inch/greater Developer is responsible for the entire cost of pipe 18 inch through 36 inch. City pays oversizing for pipe 42 inch and larger. Oversizing is the cost of the pipe construction less the cost of 36 inch pipe construction. Alternate IV : Historic Flow Developer is responsible for the entire cost of any 18 inch pipe and is responsible for the entire cost of any facilities or pipe required to convey the historic flow and any increased runoff from the developers land. The City may require the developer to provide additional capacity. Any oversizing required as a result of providing additional capacity, shall be paid by the City. , John K . Anderson -3- July 19, 1982 These alternatives presume that the definition of "laterals" and "trunks" has been established pursuant to the criteria specified above. Alternate I Pros Cons 1 . Preserves existing policy . 1 . Developer may pay an unfair percent of the cost in some cases. 2. Limits the cost to a developer. 2. The City may pay an unfair percent of the cost in some cases. 3. Policy penalizes larger developments. 4. City faces resistence in requiring additional oversizing. 5. City faces uncertain cost. Alternate 11 Pros Cons 1 . Limits the cost to a developer. 1. Developer may pay an unfair percent of the cost in some cases. 2. The City may pay an unfair percent of the cost in some cases. 3. City faces resistance in requiring additional oversizing. 4. City faces uncertain cost. Alternate III Pros Cons 1 . City exposure to cost is certain. 1. Developer may pay an unfair percent of the cost in some cases. 2. A larger share of project cost is paid by the developer. 3. The cost to a developer is limited. John K . Anderson -4- July 19, 1982 Alternate IV Pros Cons I. City exposure to cost is certain. 1. Developers in large drainage ways would not have resources to build 2. Developer's cost is related to use. necessary improvements. To reiterate, the question of what a lateral or trunk should be and what over- sizing should be is not an Engineering question, but a policy question. The alternatives range from Alternate I , which has the greatest cost assessed to the City to Alternate IV, which has a minimum exposure to cost for the City. The most appropriate alternative is perhaps somewhere between Alternate I and Alternate IV. As it is applied now, larger developments are penalized by present policy, where smaller subdivisions such as Minnesota Valley 5th Addition and Furrie 2nd Addition benefit because any facilities installed benefit land outside the subdivision and could be considered trunk facilities because they benefit off-site areas. Attached is the draft copy of proposed Storm Drainage Criteria. City staff proposes to meet with developers and consultants working in the City prior to recommending the adoption of the criteria. It would, therefore, be appropriate to consider a revision or modification of present lateral and trunk storm sewer assessment at the same time, regardless of what decision Council makes regarding the oversizing or trunk cost. A decision should be made soon on the definition for "trunk storm sewers" and "laterals storm sewers" . The problem of Mr. Wiggin's storm sewer still exists. Pursuant to present policy, the City would pay half the cost of the extension of his storm sewer because the storm- sewer serves tributary areas outside the development. In the case of Mr. Wiggin's storm sewer, it is the recommendation of City staff that one-half the cost of that storm sewer be paid by the City, pursuant to present policy. City staff is not aware of what Mr. Wiggin's specific request will be at the meeting, and therefore, this memoranda addresses only the question of lateral and trunk sewer costs.

Mr. Stock expressed his concerns about issues he felt were of mutual concern. Mr. August Dellwo addressed the Council with comments on the west side storm sewer improvement. Leroux/Colligan moved to authorize staff to obtain storm sewer assessment i waivers of hearings from Mr. Wiggin and Watson Construction accepting the cost of 54 feet of storm sewer estimated to cost $1860 said costs to be spread over properties they own in the drainage basin. Cncl .Leroux asked if both parties understand that there will be additional assessments when Mn.Valley 6th and 7th Additions are developed. The City Engineer answered that they did. Cncl . Leroux asked if the $1860 coSt w;is a 100% nsse.ssment. The City Admr. answered that it was a 50% assessment which is pursuant to the City ' s current trunk assessment policy. Discussion followed. Leroux/Colligan moved to amend the motion by changing the cost amount to $3720 and tn__add another sentence that this storm sewer extension is to be classified as the original portion of the west side storm sewer, which at this time , we understand to be a lateral . [Point of clarification: storm sewer laterals are assessed 100%, storm sewer trunks are assessed 50%] Bill Sinn stated that the discussion on this extension at the last council meeting emphasized pipe because no body wanted to make a committment whether it was a lateral or main trunk line. The City Admr. stated that this proposed pipe extension within the Mn. Valley 5th Add' n. is being assessed against property lying South and West of the 5th Add 'n. , not against any properties lying within the Mn. Valley 5th Add ' n. ( Therefore Mr. Sinn ' s property within the 5th Add ' n. would not be assessed. ) I-lotion carried unanj.;;iuu.-_;iy ori nmetu$;ncnt to main motion.

Anderson , City Adminis_gator �E: Completion of Taylor Street in Minnesota Valley 5th Addition DATE: September 1 , 1983 Introduction Ci:_y s~r:ff has met with and discussed the completion of Taylor Street in t_he Minnesota Valley 51.h Addition with Bill Sinn anti Dick Wiggin several times over the lase two .peeks . They are extremely in,_eres,_ed in havin- *his small stretch of public street completed so _ha= FILA will approve financing for the sale of their 4-plex on LoL 5 abutting Zhe incompleted roadway. Background Two years ago Dick TJiggin was in the process of Dlat_tiny t innesota ` Valley 5th Addition and Minnesota Valley 6th Addition. The pla ting p_-ocess c�as handled simultaneously as the pla.s proceeded throu;h Planning Commission and City Council . Because 12th Street had already been constructed there was only a very small pot=ion of 1, innesota Valley 5th that did nog have all of the public facilities constructed and in place . This small portion abutts approximately 1/2 of Lot 5 in Minnesota Valley 5th. To accomodate the developer the City agreed that it made more sense to complete the construction of the public improver:.encs abutting Lor 5 when Taylor Street was extended for Minnesota Valley 6th Addition. This practical approach to the public i-mDrovement construction ran into a snag when rhe developer and he City did noagree upon the percen~age of the storm sewer in Taylor Street to be assessedto the abutting property owners . As a result the plat of Ninnesota Valley 5th Addition has not been executed by `_he 6eveloper. �n the meantime , the developer has been constructing 4-plexes on lots in Minnesota Valley 5--h and approached the City to construct a 4-plex on Lot 5 abutting Taylor Street . Because the roadway was not then complete and -_he City and _he developer were in disagreement over the percent_a-e of the storrm sewer to be assessed fo: Minnesota Valley 6th Addition, t5 ,000 ,aas nu'_ in escrow. The developers have now learned that FHA will not participate in financing the sale of :;he 4-plex unless the second driveway off cf the intomple_ed portion of Taylor Street is complete , and the completion of Taylor Street will not resul _ =_n additional assessments to Lor 5 . The problem -L-t,,en is how =o maintain our practical approach of no_ requiring construction of public inoprovements for a very small piece of roadwav and still overcoming "he road blocs: crewed by F.:A so that the 4-alex on Lot 5 can be sold. Completion of Taylor Street in Ninnesota Valley 5A AddiKon Page Two September 1 , 1983 Proposed Solution In discussions wish Bill Sinn, it appears that there is consensus among the parties involved that the following alternative would work to resolve the problem. 1 . The City would review the escrow to determine that the amount escrowed is adequate to complete the street and storm sewer construction abutting Lot 5 in Minnesota Valley 5th Addition. Honey would be escrowed equal to 100% of the cost of the construction of storm sewer, curb, gutter and scree_ surfacing. 2 . The CiLy would notify HFA that _he escrow existed and that Lot 5 would not be assessed for the completion of the improvements in Taylor Street . 3 . The City would agree to allow the developer to put in the temporary asphalt driveway on public right-of-way in Taylor Street that would connect with a driveway serving _he south side of the 4-plex. 4. The developer would agree to remove that private drive from the right-of-way at his expense when Taylor Street was constructed. Cost of the removal to be included in the escrow. 5 . The City would agree that the escrowing of 100% of the cost of the improvement set no precedent for the decisions to be made with regard to the level of financing required by the developer for improvements in Minnesota Valley 6th Addition. Recommendation Staff recommends that the agreement as outlined above be drafted by the approplia:e City staff, -reviewed by the developer and brought back to City Council for action at its September 20 1933 meeting. This recommendation would preserve the original plan which was to avoid expensive construction of a very small piece of roadway on Taylor Street , and would allow the developer to overcome his problem with FHA and. `:pus finance the sale of his 4-plex on Lot 5 . Staff does not believe that this procedure would create a precedent that would cause the City problems in the future. The agreement can be recorded to insure all parties are aware of its existance . Anion Requested Direct staff to prepare an agreement between the Cis -� the developers of Minnesota Valley 51h Addition which wouldnenable them to escrow money for the completion of Taylor Street , install a ,_emP orary driveway ct :heir expense , and thus be able�`o sell their 4-plea on Lot 5 , Minnesota Valley 5th Addition. .lKA% ims Fto._ .1s •l+��=: Ur��r:lr.au:.

Anderson, City Administrator F.-POM: Ray Ruuska, Engineering Coordinator SUBJECT : Taylor Street Extension DATE: October 11, 1985 INTRODUCTION : Since 1982 the City of Shakopee has held 55, 000. 00 in escrow for the completion of part of Taylor Street south of 12th Ave- nue. The property owner has requested that the City use the escrowed amount which now is $6, 400. 00 to construct Taylor Street as proposed. BACKGROUND: The construction of Taylor Street has been deferred because extension of a storm sewer lateral would have to be done prior to street construction. Due to the fact that this lateral would only have to be extended 64 linear feet , further deferral of this project seems inappropriate. The G4 feet of storm sewer does not benefit the lot in question and thus cannot meet the benefit test . The storm sewer cost can be added to future developments to the south. ACTION R_=U=TaD : The contractor performing the work on the 2nd Avenue Parking Lot Project could be used to construct Taylor Street. The work could be done under a Supplemental Contract to that pro- ject. He has submitted unit prices (See Attachment ) for this work. Total project cost is estimated to be 511 , S70. 88. Of this total, one-half, less the cost of the storm sewer, could be paid out of the escrow account . The remainder could be paid out of the Capitol Improvement Fund. The reason For only assessing half the cost against the property owner' s escrow is because standard assessment properties assess half of a project to each side of the road and K-Mart' s assessment doesn' t meet the benefit test . for Street ober 11, 1985 e 2 Escrow Account Cost $3, 34-5. 44 Capitol Improvement Fund Cost $8, 625. 44 ION REQUESTED: :otion by City Council to authorize proper, City officials execute Supplemental Contract No. 1 in the amount of 706. 10 to Valley Paving, In=. , 8050-D Hwy. 101, Shakopee, 55379 (Supplement to Project E5-4) . pmp LOR Leroux:/Vierling moved to direct staff to construct a wall»ry bctwec: I'ark Ridge Drive and 11th Avenue using 6 :oot wide concrete siaewair: with sod, for appr=im_ntely 52,400.00. b J,oll Call. t,, es; j':<mpacr., Vicrling, Colllg�n, Reinke, Leroux 'o Does; Lebe-is Motion carried.

Leroux recalled that the property owner opposite Kmart was informed at the time of platting that there would be an assessment against the property for storm sewer and for that purpose the escrow fund was set up. - - The City Admr. was directed to look up the minutes from that meeting as a basis for the assessment. Leroux/Lebens moved to authorize the proper City officials to execute Supplemental Contract No-' l in the amount of $8,.706.10 to Valley Paving, Inc. 8050-D, Hwy. 101, Shakopee, Minn. 55379 (Supplement to Project 85-4) , with the storm sewer assessment to be taken from the escrow account.

Anderson, City Admin " rator FROM: Ken Ashfeld, City Engineer - SUBJECT : County State Aid Highway 17 P'ro j ect VIP Interceptor Extension DATE: January 3, 1986 T_NTRODUCTION: Scott County plans t o construct roadway improvements to County State Aid Highway (CSAH) No. 17 between County Read 42 and the south line of the Junior High School property. This will serve as an informationl item as well as address alternative considerations far extending the VIP sanitary sewer interceptor from the east side of CSAH 17 to the west side. BACKGROUND : Scott County plans to completely reconstruct CSAH 17 from County Road 42 to the south right-of-way control line of the pro=posed Shakopee by-pass. The preliminary pians far the interchange of the Shakopee by-pass and CSAH 17 provide for a depressed section for the by-pass and a raised section for CSAH 17. Therefore, due to extensive grade changes, the County plans far a simple overlay and shoulder widening on CSAH 17 from the south right-of-way control line of the by-pass to the ex- wsting urban section at the south property line of the Junior High School. The project reconstruction consists of a rural section with two 12-foot driving lanes and 12-foot bituminous paved shoul- ders. The intersection of CSAH 17 and County Road 42 is de- sinned with free rimht turn lanes for traffic west bound to north bound and also north bound to east bound. A right turn and by-pass lane is designed for the north leg of the inter- section. Right turn and by-pass lanes are designed at the intersections of the following streets: Blue Heron Trail Woodduck Trail County Road 77 Hillside Drive Valley View Road State Aid Highway _ 7 January .7, 198E Rage L Other design details of inter-est is traffic volume capacity north of the proposed Shakopee by-pass, Mill Pend Basin drainage facilities and sanitary sewer interceptor service. Traffic Volume Capacity: The portion of CSAR 17 between the south right-of-way of the Shakopee by-pass and the south line of the Junior High School is planned for an overlay with widened gravel shoulders. When this portion is reconstructed with the by-pass improvements, the City will need to be directly involved with Mn/DOT during final design. To accommodate anticipated traffic volumes, an urban section and/or multi-lane facility may be required. Mill Pond Basin Drainage: Runoff from the westerly portion of the Mill Pond Basin tra- verses CSAH 17 to the easterly pont ion of the basin. Referring to the attached Comprehensive Drainage Plan, runoff within subarea II-D is conveyed to subarea II-r-4 by an in-place 4' x 4' box culvert . ( Incidentally, to keep terminology in perspective, the Upper Valley Drainage Basin referred to in the overall City' s Storm Sewer Needs Study comprises that por- tion of the Mill Pond Basin lying north of the Shakopee by- pass) . There are no plans for alterations to the existing box culvert other than extensions t--.D accommodate the embankment widening. Since the Mill Pond Basin is a part of the Shakopee Basin Water Management Organization (WMO) , the reconstruction of in-place drainage facilities will depend upon the drainage plan of the WMO. That plan is to be completed by the end of 1986. Coordi- nation of triose reconstruction efforts should be with the Shako- pee by-pass construction. SanitarY Sewer Interceptor Service : The VIP sanitary sewer interceptor currently ends on the east side of CSAH 17. At some point in time, the need will exist to extend the sewer to the west side of CSAH 17. This can be accomplished by one of the fallowing alternatives : 1 . Pursue the construction of the extension in coordination with the 1986 improvements to CSAH 17. The esti mated cost i s $5, 000. 00 ( 198F, d o l- Iars) _ State Aid Highway 17 January 3, 1585 PaEle 3 2. Monitor- Mn/DOT' s generation of final plans for- the orthe Shakopee by-pass and coordinate the construc- tion of the extension with CSAR 17 final improve- ment s. The estimated cost is $5, x 00. �!r ( '586 dollars) plus inflation. Take no action and eventually bore the extension under CSAH 17 in conjunction with the coatirued westerly extension when the need arises. The estimated cost is $15, 000. 00 ( 1986 do 1 1 ars) plus inflation. The advantages of Alternatives 1 and c is the lower cost (open cut installation) . The disadvantages of Alternatives 1 and 2 is the difficulty of establishing benefit and financing by special assessment at this time. The advantage of Alternative 3 is the established benefit and hence special assessment to benefited properties as the financing mechanism. The disad- vantage is the additional cost of boring. Recommendation: Staff recommends pursuing fore stated Alternative 1. In fol- lowing with the City' s Assessment Policies, the cost of this extension should be kept record and added to the future trunk sewer cast and assessed over the trunk sewer service area. Requested Action : Offer a motion to direct the City Engineer to pursue the exten- s i on of the V. I. F'. Sanitary Sewer Interceptor in conjunction with the 1986 roadway improvements to CSAR 17.

Anderson, City Admir trator FROM: Ken Ashfeld, City Erigineer_'Ti�"' r SUBJECT : 4th Avenue Street Reconstruction DATE: December 23, 1085 INTRODUCTION : The Engineering Department proposes to reconstruct 4th Avenue from Fillmore Street to Scott Street during the 1985 construc- tion season. BACKGROUND : Fourth Avenue between Fillmore Street and Scott Street is in- cluded in the City' s Capital Improvement Program with a 1985 construction target date. That portion of 4th is also included in the street reconstruction program. The Holmes Street Fusin Lateral Project will also require restoration efforts on 4th Avenue between Spencer & Sommerville and Fuller & Scott if further improvements are not constructed. This section of 4th Avenue has various route desiA_nations which in turn results in various funding sources. 1. 4th Avenue between Fillmore and Fuller is a County State Aid Highway (CSAR 16) , financing of which will fall under Scott County' s policies fon c._,st participation. This policy is currently in "draft form"Abut should be adapted and applied to 4th Avenue in 1986. Essentially, the policy establishes a percentage rate participation ' between City and County on an individual construction item basis. 2. 4th Avenue between Fillmore and Holmes is a Federal -=;id Urban route (FAU 5063) , thereby creating a possible funding source for- the City' s cost partici pat ion. Sirice the City' s FAU fund balance is in excess of that allowed, funding is being lost and reapportioned. The option of pursuing the use of FAU funds on this project will be addressed in the feasibility report. +th Avenue Reconstruction �)ecernber :_.S, 1995 -'age 4th Avenue between Fuller and Scott is a local City street requiring local funding through the City' s special assessment policies and pavernent preservation program. attached is Resolution No. 2'500 ordering the preparation of re pc.rt or, an improvement to 4th Avenue from Fillmore Street o Scott Street.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA, that the proposed improvement be referred to the City Engineer for study and that he is instructed to report to the Council With all convenient speed advising the Council in a preliminary way as to whether the proposed improvement is feasible and as to whether it should best be made as oro pi sed or in connection with some of her i mmrovement, and the estimated cost of the improvement as recommended '_ in session of the City Council of Adopted _ the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, held this day of Mayor of the City of Shakopee ATTEST: City Clark r Approved as to i form this �...__.. day f 19 ILI) i TO: John K. Anderson, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Employee Assistance Program DATE: January 1, 1986 Introduction and Background The City has contracted with dor and associates, inc. for the past two years to provide an employee assistance program. The cost has been about $850 per year. dor is quoting a cost of $1,050 for 1986 . There has been relatively low participation in the program and we have experienced a instance of poor response by dor to a fairly serious problem that one of the employees had. Staff checked with the county to see what program they had. They use Process Dynamics and have used them for many years. Staff requested a proposal from Process Dynamics and the services are comparable to dor but Process Dynamics seems to want to be more intimately involved with the City and employees. Their offices are in Eden Prairie which is closer than dor. The cost is $55 per hour of service. The City would deposit a retainer based on number of employees and estimated usage. The deposit would be $868.86 based on 54 employees (4 Community Services) and a usage rate of 8%. Process Dynamics will adjust the bill on a dollar for dollar basis at the end of the year. The Council will be informed if usage approaches the estimate so that action can be taken to allocate further funding or terminate the program with Process Dynamics. Based on past usage, we should come in under the estimate. Process Dynamics proposal is available for Council review if desired. Alternatives 1. Discontinue the employee assistance program. 2. Contract with dor for $1 ,050. 3 . Contract with Process Dynamics with a deposit of $868.86. 4. Contract with Process Dynamics for a lower usage rate. 5. Seek other providers. Recommendation Staff recommends alternative number 3 . Based on past usage, the City will incur lower cost while still providing what appears to be at least similar assistance if not better assistance to the employees. There was no selection process involved with picking dor when the City started with them, they approached the City and we went with them. Due to the small dollar amount involved, a larger selection is not warranted.

This deadline must be observed to ensure accurate and timely publication of im- portant notices. Affidavits: One sworn affidavit of publication will be provided, upon request, without charge for each legal notice. Additional af- fidavits are available at$3.50 each.Additional clippings are available for 75 cents each. Late Fee: Urgent legal notices which do not arrive at the Valley News office before the specified deadlines may be accepted, at the publisher's discretion,but will have a late fee or surcharge of 10 percent added for special handling. Publication Requirements: Most specifications for legal notice publication including the number of times a notice is to run, are set forth by statute. Interpretation of the statutes is the responsibility of the customer and its legal counsel, not the publisher. Guidelines for governmental bodies,prepared by the Minnesota Newspaper Association,are available on request. Format: Legal notices are set in 7 point type with 7.5 points of leading unless the customer specifies a larger type size.Column width is 13 picas. Kill Fee: Publication of scheduled notices may be stopped depending on how far the printing process has advanced. If a legal notice is killed before the publication date the customer may still be liable for a special typesetting fee, not to exceed 30 percent of the cost of the published notice.The customer must pay,on a pro rata basis, for that part of a series of publications that have been completed before interruption by the customer. Errors: Publisher assumes no responsibility for errors in typesetting or scheduling of legal notices.In all cases,the publisher's liability shall be limited to a"make good"of a defective legal if it can be demonstrated that the error was made by the publisher and that as a result of the error the legal notice was rendered invalid. Rates: Effective January 1, 1985,the Minnesota Legislature has authorized legal newspapers to charge for legal notices in the same manner they charge their best commercial display classified customers. That means legal notices will now be billed by the column inch,not by the"legal line".The law also restricts rate increases exceeding 10 percent per annum.

JKA/jms MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John K. Anderson, City Administrator / u RE: Council Meeting Procedures DATE: December 31, 1985 Introduction Because of the light agenda January 7, 1986, I thought it would be a good time to review our 1985 worksession materials on Council procedures. What's your reaction looking back over the last 12 months? This is a good opportunity to take stock and fine tune the procedures from 1985 if you have good suggestions. Review of 1985 Procedures 1. How Councilmembers get items on the agenda. Call and ask staff to place a note about the item under Other Business on the upcoming agenda. After discussing the item with our members of Council, a motion can be made to take whatever action is appropriate. 2. Stopping time is 10:30 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. when there is a HRA agenda. 3. The Chairman will comment on issues last and try to facilitate discussion. 4. The Chairman will make an informal effort to "go around the table" for comments. 5. There should be a self imposed limit of two comments per item. 6. Councilmembers are urged to use "How to Aid Discussion by Asking the Right Questions" (attached and in plastic cover also at council table) (Also attached is a list of motions in order of precedence to move the discussion along to comply with #2 above. Council has also asked the City Administrator to use the same tools to help move discussion along. ) 7. Procedures for Public Hearing: a. Mayor announces and emphasizes public hearing rules: 1) Citizen give name and address before speaking. 2) Everyone speaks once before a second chance to speak is given. 3) Citizens speak to Chair or Council not other members of the audience (to avoid back and forth discussions). b. Council discusses issue before opening up to the audience. c. Open discussion up to the audience. 8. All items to be acted on should be on the agenda with completed staff work. 9. Staff's role and responsibilities for completing staff work for agenda items: a. What a good staff report should accomplish. 1) Introduction 2) State problem or issue 3) List alternatives with pros and cons 4) Make recommendation 5) State "Action Requested" b. The staff report process. All information on an agenda item should be presented to all Councilmembers in the staff report. (Problems arise when information is not in the agenda packets and therefore not available to all Councilmembers. ) C. Calls to City staff - the 20 minute rule of thumb means any requests to staff requiring more than 20 minutes to handle should be handled under No. 1 above. d. When to ask questions about agenda items - Monday or Tuesday before the meeting whenever possible. e. When to ask staff to follow-up on miscellaneous items - for example: potholes, junk cars, etc. , should be covered when first received by Councilmember, not "saved" for the Council meeting. This insures a quick response to the citizen's request. f. Responses to citizens' complaints about City staff handling of a problem, etc. Council's response should normally be, "I'll check into it and call you back". Avoid "taking sides" until all the facts are known. g. What to do when staff comes to Councilmembers about a problem or item on the agenda. Request that the staff persons take their concerns through the staff report process (see 9b). 10. Use of Council worksessions (i.e. committee meetings). Summary The ability of City Council to effectively make decisions at public Council meetings depends in large part on how Council conducts its meeting and how the information necessary to make those decisions is provided to all Council- members. The meeting procedures and the staff memo system outlined above will play a key role in determining the effectiveness of the Council. If you have questions about the material in this memo or would like to suggest changes please plan to do so Tuesday. Action Requested Pass a motion accepting the Council meeting procedures for 1986 as outlined in the Council memo regarding the subject dated December 31, 1985.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SHAK OPEE, MINNESOTA, that the following institutions are designated as depositories with the respective dollar amounts as limits and as secured by insurance and/or collateral.

Mayor of the City of Shakopee ATTEST: City Clerk Approved as to form this day of January, 1986 . City Attorney nj MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John K. Anderson, City Administrator RE: Implementation of Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday DATE: January 2 , 1985 Introduction As all City Councilmembers know the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. has been designated a federal holiday. This means that the City must establish Martin Luther King Jr. ' s birthday as a formal holiday and close City offices. This also means that the City must determine how it will handle the holiday for City employees. Survey of Metro Area Cities The City of Shakopee currently provides its employees eleven paid holidays . Eleven paid holidays is the standard for the twin cities metropolitan area and those cities covered by the Stanton pay and benefit survey. As I explained in December when discussing labor negotiations, it appears that most metropolitan area cities° are not planning to create a 12th paid holiday. Cities have several choices in responding to the mandated new federal holiday and those choices are outlined in the attached letter from Labor Relations Associates, Inc. What we are recommending are alternatives A. l.c. and A. 3 . for non-union employees and alternative B. 1 . for union employees. Attached are the specific labor agreement articles dealing with holidays for police and public works. Note that public works does have a floater holiday and police have eleven un-named paid holidays. Alternatives The alternatives available to Council are outlined in the Labor Relations Associates , Inc. memo dated November 25 , 1985. To implement the alternative we are recommending Council would have to pass Resolution No. 2501 which is attached. Recommendation I recommend passage of Resolution No. 2501 effectively eliminating the City' s floating holiday for non-union employees and replacing it with a paid holiday on Martin Luther King Jr. ' s birthday which will be observed on the third Monday in January. The union agreements will not be changed at this time and the employees will receive an unpaid day off on Martin Luther King Jr. ' s birthday unless they individually use their floating holiday or one of their other holidays. This will mean that they will be affected the same as non-union employees. i Action Requested ` Approve Resolution No. 2501 , A Resolution Amending the Personnel Policy Adopted by Resolution No. 1571 , eliminating the current floating holiday and replacing it with a holiday on Martin Luther King Jr. ' s birthday. JKA/jms LABOR RELATIONS ASSOCIATES, INC. 7501 Golden Valley Road Golden Valley, Minnesota 55427 612/546-1470 November 25 , 1985 TO: William S. Joynes, Chairman MAMA Labor Relations Committee FROM: C. F. Smythe , Consultant SUBJECT: MARTIN LUTHER KING ' S BIRTHDAY AND "SNOW DAYS" MARTIN LUTHER KING'S BIRTHDAY Minnesota Statutes 645 .44 , subd. 5 - Holidays states : "Holiday" includes New Year' s Day , January 1 ; Martin Luther King ' s Birthday, the third Monday in January ; Washington ' s and Lincoln ' s Birthday, the third Monday in February; Memorial Day , the last Monday in May ; Independence Day , July 4 ; Labor Day, the first Monday in September; Christopher Columbus Day , the second Monday in October ; Veterans Day, November 11 ; Thanksgiving Day , the fourth Thursday in November; and Christmas Day , December 25 ; provided , when New Year ' s Day , January 1 ; or Independence Day, July 4; or Veterans Day, November 11 ; or Christmas Day, December 25 ; falls on Sunday , the following day shall be a holiday and , provided , when New Year' s Day, January 1 ; or Independence Day , July 4 ; or Veterans Day , November 11 ; or Christmas Day , December 25 ; falls on Saturday, the preceding day shall be a holiday. No public business shall be transacted on any holiday , except in cases of necessity and except in cases of public business transacted by the legislature , nor shall any civil process be served thereon . However , for the executive branch of the state of Minnesota , "holiday" also includes the Friday after Thanksgiving but does not include Christopher Columbus Day. Other branches of state government and political subdivisions shall have the option of determining whether Christopher Columbus Day and the Friday after Thanksgiving shall be holidays. Where it is determined that Columbus Day or the Friday after Thanksgiving is not a holiday, public business may be conducted thereon. Any agreement between a public employer and an employee organization citing Veterans Day as the fourth Monday in October shall be amended to cite Veterans Day as November 11 . Mr. William S. Joynes November 25 , 1985 Page Two 1 The Statute does not require that the designated holidays be paid days off for public employees who do not work due to the requirement that : "No public business shall be transacted . . . except in cases of necessity to If a city does not wish to increase the present number of paid holidays , and Martin Luther King ' s Birthday has not already been named by the city as a paid holiday , the options for the city appear to be : A. NON-UNION EMPLOYEES 1 . Non-management (non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act) employees whose work is not necessary. a. Allow employees to take an unpaid day off on Martin Luther King ' s Birthday . b. Allow employees to trade either Columbus Day , a "floating holiday , " or another day designated by the city as a holiday but not so designated by the law for Martin Luther King ' s Birthday. C . Provide by city ordinance that a present city-paid holiday will be rescinded as a paid holiday and that Martin Luther King ' s Birthday will be treated as a paid holiday in lieu of that day. 2. Non-management (non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act) employees whose work is "necessary. " Employees scheduled to work will work at straight time as they would any other day or "holiday. " 3. iManagement employees (exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act) . Provide by city ordinance that a present city-paid holiday will be rescinded as a paid holiday and that Martin Luther King ' s Birthday will be treated as a paid holiday in lieu of that day . Exempt employees cannot be given an unpaid day off without jeopardizing the employees ' exempt status under FLSA. Mr. William S. Joynes November 25 , 1985 Page Three B. UNION EMPLOYEES 1 . Non-management (non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act) whose work is not necessary. If the labor agreement stipulates the holidays by name, employees will receive an unpaid day off on Martin Luther King ' s Birthday unless the city and union agree to the trade of a designated holiday (Columbus Day , floating holiday or non-standard day) for Martin Luther King ' s Birthday. 2. Non-management (non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act) employees whose work is "necessary. " Employees scheduled to work will work at straight time as they would any other day or "holiday . " 3 . Management employees (exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act) . If the union does not agree to trade another holiday (Columbus Day, floating holiday or non-standard day) for Martin Luther King ' s Birthday the city could force the employees to take an unpaid day off . However , such action may jeopardize the employees ' exempt status under FLSA. SNOW DAYS (or equivalent) Some cities close some city offices when certain "acts of God" ( snow, flood , etc . ) indicate that such closure is necessary (desirable) . The closure forces some employees to leave their work while some others continued to work. Some of those employees who do continue to work have indicated that they should receive some special consideration if the city employees sent home are paid for time not worked . If some of the employees sent home are exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act they should be paid if their exempt status is not to be jeopardized . If they are unionized , non-exempt employees , the question of whether they must be paid will depend on their labor agreement . If non-union the city can unilaterally determine their pay status. Mr. William S. Joynes November 25 , 1985 C � Page Four If the non-exempt employees sent home are not paid there appears to be little justification for those non-exempt employees who worked to be given any "special consideration . " If , however , those sent home were paid for time not worked the case for an inequity could be made by those who worked . Cities wishing to "rectify" such alleged inequity could consider compensatory time as a remedy. This remedy would result in the closest equality between the groups.

BACKGROUND : City Ordinance No. 17S established a "Storm Water Drainage Utility'' as a section of the "Municipal and Public Utilities Rules and Regulations, Franchises and Rates" . The utility charge is based upon two rates, the City-wide utility rate and the special benefit utility rate. The sum of the two rates comprises the utility charge. The City-wide rate is based upon storm drainage capital improvements within the City as a whole. The special benefit utility rate is based upon storm drainage capital improvements within a particular drainage basin. Based upon the estimated cost of initial storm drainage capital improvements, the City-wide utility rate is $10. 32/quarter/REF- acre. Therefore, the City-wide quarterly charge for a typical 1 & 2 family residence is $3. 44. This City-wide utility rate will become part of the City' s fee schedule. Based upon the estimated cost of the Holmes Street Basin Lateral Project, the special benefit utility rate is $220. 67/quarter/REF- acre. Therefore, the special benefit quarterly charge for a typical 1 & 2 family residence is $6. 89. This special bene- fit utility rate is being adopted by Resolution No. 2502.
