I have looked into this matter and offer the following explanation. According to the final plat for this subdivision, all of the open space is Lot 1 of Block 1 . All of the buildings and townhouses were designated as separate lots, Lots 2-25. Lot 1 is actually the only property that fronts on 10th Avenue and legally the only one that could be assessed for the sidewalk. The City of Shakopee receives our property ownership information from the Scott County Recorder. Their current records indicate that the owner of Lot 1 is the Maplewood Townhouse Association at 126 S. Holmes. If this is incorrect, I urge you to contact Scott County to correct it. They will provide the City with any ownership updates that may occur during the year. Our rationale for not sending notices to all owners in the complex was that since the association is in charge of all maintenance of the grounds (grass , driveways, etc . ) and that since all owners support the association, it was assumed that the association would notify all residents. Again, legally the only property that can be assessed for the sidewalk is Lot 1 , owned by the association. In retrospect , it may have been more considerate to send all owners of the subdivision a copy of the notice and we will certainly consider doing that on all future mailings. Please contact me if you have any further comments or suggestions. Sincer avid E. Hutton, P.E.

Six firms have submitted proposals in response to the City Council request. BUILDING On January 31, the Council officially adopted the Housing Maintenance Program. The purpose is to improve and maintain the safety and wholesomeness of the City housing stock. This program requires all non-homesteaded rental dwellings to obtain a Certificate of occupancy before a unit can be used as a residence. The dwelling owner will have to submit an application with fee to the City Building Department, and pass an inspection before the Certificate is issued. (Owner occupied residences are not included in this program at this time) . Owners will be notified and sent an application when it is time for them to enter the program. It will take about two years to enroll all qualified properties. Once a building is in the program, it will be up to the owner to resubmit the application for renewal as specified on the Certificate. Penalties will be assessed for non-compliance. Questions should be directed to Newton Parker at 445-3650. CITY CLERK Council has appointed Debra Amundson and John Drees to the Energy and Transportation Committee. Council approved the Jaycees installing and selling advertising signs at Tahpah Park.

The City of Shakopee is not proposing any changes in . the current Dial-A-Ride service hours or service area as a result of the change in providers.

Czaja/Stafford moved to approve the January 5, 1989 meeting minutes. Motion carried with Chrmn. Rockne and Comm. Kahleck and Allen abstaining. PUBLIC HEARING - BARRY AND JANICE LUSIGNAN Czaja/Foudray moved to open the public hearing to consider a variance to build an addition 6'9" from the side lot line instead of the required 10' at 1077 Minnesota Street. Motion carried. City Planner stated that the applicants propose to build a 12' addition to the side of their home; 619" from the side yard lot instead of the required 101 . He stated that they have a need for additional space. Comm. Czaja questioned what the hardship of the applicants is. City Planner stated that the applicants need to enlarge their home and to allow for an entry to a master bathroom. vice CHrmn. Foudray questioned whether or not there was a deck on the side of the home now. City Planner stated that there is an existing deck on the side of the house and that the deck does not have to meet the same setback requirements because it is not an enclosed structure. Applicants, Barry and Janice Lusignan expressed their need for additional kitchen space and stated that there is 40' between their lot and the next lot. They believe that the addition would make their house the same size as the other houses in the neighborhood. Comm. Czaja asked the applicants what their hardship was. Applicants stated that they need additional space for their family and that it is hard to construct a 819" addition to meet - the setback requirements. They would like to construct an addition with even dimensions. Board of Adjustments and Appeals Page Two Comm. Forbord questioned if there was a copy of the plat and if there was a copy of what the proposed use is for the 11th Ave. corridor. City Planner explained that the existing 40' right of way still remains between this house and the Meadows Addition which will be used for a side walk or trail. The sidewalk/trail has not yet been designed. Chrmn. Rockne stated that if there is no hardship, they would in effect be granting a privilege. Comm. Stafford asked the applicants if a 819" addition would be enough for a kitchen. Applicants stated that they would prefer more. They asked if they could go 81911 from the basement wall and build an overhang of 3' . The applicants were advised that this was not the right body to determine whether or not something like that could be done. Chrmn. Rockne entered a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Roger Schmeig into record stating that they are in favor of the addition. There were no further comments from the audience. Foudray/Allen moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Foudray/Forbcrd moved to grant Variance Resolution #554 to allow an addition to be built 619" from the side lot line instead of the required 10' at 1077 Minnesota Street. Vice Chrmn. Foudray stated that he didn't sae that the addition would be detrimental even though the applicants did not show a hardship. Comm. Czaja expressed that anytime a variance is considered the hardship must be considered. He feels that legally they have no leg to stand on. Motion denied unanimously. Chrmn. Rockne informed the audience and applicant of the 7 day appeal period. If Board of Adjustments and Appeals Page Three ANNUAL REPORT Foudray/Forbord moved to accept the annual report as written.

Foudray/Allen moved to open the public hearing to consider preliminary plat approval of Heritage Place 2nd Addition upon the property located South of Heritage Place Subd. and North of Vierling Drive. Motion carried. City Planner stated that the proposed development would subdivide 31.5 acres into 105 lots. City Planner stated that the City Engineer indicated that the jog in Onyx Drive is not desirable, but that a more desirable option may not be practical. He also stated that because Onyx and Heritage streets are not aligned properly, staff recommends that the street names be changed. He added that staff recommends that Heritage Circle's name be changed as it does not meet with Heritage Drive. The SPUC Manager has recommended that the water line should be extended on Vierling Dr. Chrmn. Rockne questioned whether or not easements were required to be shown on the plat. City Planner stated that they must be shown on a final plat and it is not required on the preliminary plat. However, the proposed easements are shown on the key drawing. Comm. Forbord stated that he disagrees with staff regarding Onyx and Heritage Dr. He feels that they could eliminate the jog and that the proximity of the two streets coming on to Vierling is not good common sense. Comm. Kahleck asked about the park land located North of the proposed subdivision. City Planner stated that the Planning Staff does not recommend additional park land because it already consists of 10 acres and the school next to the park has 30 acres. Shakopee Planning Commission Page Two Comm. Forbord stated that it is the Commission's obligation to send the plat back to the applicant for redesign. There are two potential bad intersections where Onyx and Heritage E. meet and where Heritage and Vierling meet. Comm. Czaja questioned where the danger was considering it is local traffic. Comm. Stafford stated that it may be local traffic, but it will be heavy local traffic. Dave Heller, Heritage Development, stated that the 105 lots would be 'divided into 3 phases. He believes the development is designed to the land's best use. He stated that the ordinance calls for 60' lot requirements and that all the proposed lots exceed the ordinance by being 75' and 801 . He added that they could place stop signs in the traffic areas of concern or that they could look at other options if necessary. Dan Parks, Heritage Development, stated that the idea was to line up through traffic from the North. He stated that curvilinear streets were looked at but that it tends to make a lot of pie shaped, dead end lots. He feels that he would lose 8 - 10 lots if a curvilinear street was used. An audience member that lives on Limestone Dr. questioned if Heritage Development has been chosen as the sole developer of this land. 1 City Planner stated that they are in the process of purchasing the land now and that if they are the owners they are the developers. City Planner reviewed the Commission's options and recommended that the hearing should be continued rather than recommending denial of the preliminary plat. Forbord/Allen moved to continue the public hearing to the March 9, 1989 meeting to consider preliminary plat approval of Heritage Place 2nd Addition upon the property located South of Heritage Place Subd. and North of Vierling Drive and that the applicant must have their consultant alleviate the concerns of the off- center intersection at Onyx Dr. and Heritage Dr. E. and eliminate the intersection at Heritage E. and Vierling Dr. It was also added that staff be directed to research the issues regarding the park and the access to it. Shakopee Planning Commission Page Three Discussion was held whether or not there were going to be any twin homes in this development. There are no twin homes planned for the plat. Motion carried unanimously. Czaja/Foudray moved for a 10 minute recess. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - DAN BETTS AND PAUL WEBSTER Foudray/Czaja moved to open the public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit to allow a commercial recreation center including video and pool games at 493 Marschall Road. Motion carried. City Planner stated that the proposed recreation center would be located within the shopping center located So. of 4th Ave. and No. of Eagle Creek Blvd. It would include 16 pool tables, a small lounge, large screen TV and video games. There would be two employees on duty at all times with the possibility of a third. He stated that the business must comply with the curfew for minors under the age of 18 which is 10:30 p.m. There is also the concern of possible use of drugs and alcohol. The Police Chief has stated that the Police Dept. would control loitering outside the facility and in the parking lot. Applicant, Paul Webster of Bloomington stated that he would be glad to answer any questions. Comm. Czaja questioned whether or not there would be any food on the premises and why the applicant is proposing a closing time of 3 :00 a.m. The applicant stated that there would cnly be vending machines and that he feels there is a need for people to have somewhere to go after dinner or after the bars close and that the 3: 00 a.m. closing time only applies to Friday and Saturday. He stated that he needs to stay open to make any money and that the busiest times he thinks will be from 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Commission members expressed their concerns regarding the late closing hours, but it was also mentioned that people who do shift - work often times are looking for something to do after work. Comm. Kahleck asked who the primary cliental would be and stated her concerns with kids hanging around the liquor store. Shakopee Planning Commission Page Four The applicant feels that the primary cliental would be about 18 years old or older. He stated that he chose the west end of the building because of the liquor store and that MGM will have to be careful who they sell liquor to. Comm. Forbord asked the applicant how he proposed to deal with the potential problem in the parking lot in regards to the . community and other businesses. The applicant stated that it would be the same type of problem a liquor store might have and that the police dept. will control loitering outside the building. He stated he can't be inside and outside at the same time. Chrmn. Rockne entered a letter from Mr. Janish of Shakopee 84 Partnership into record stating "Our partnership has a convenient shopping center on Marschall Rd. in Shakopee. We are also on several other strip centers around the metro area. We are against the permit for a recreation center at Eagle Creek Plaza. We have found from past experience that a recreation center with video games and pool games become a hang out for kids. We have experienced rowdiness and drug problems. I wish to express my concern and let you know that we are against this center. " Comm. Forbord asked the applicant what the maximum number of patrons the center could handle at full capacity would be. The applicant stated approximately 150. Comm. Czaja stated that the Fire Marshall would establish an occupancy limit. Harold Bohlen, owner of the mall, stated that he feels it all comes back to a city problem. The way an establishment is run from the beginning will determine how it will run. He stated that if the applicant has a problem with loitering then he has a problem. It is everyone's problem. Forbord/Stafford moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Forbord/Foudray moved to approve Conditional Use Permit Resolution #555 to allow a commercial recreation center including video and pool games at 493 Marschall Road subject to the following conditions: 1.

SCHMIDT III Foudray/Allen moved to open the public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit to allow a commercial recreation center at 125 East First Avenue. Motion carried unanimously. City Planner stated that the proposed recreation center is located next door to City Hall. He added that the same concerns regarding curfew and drugs and alcohol as with the last applicant, apply here too. Ed Schmidt, applicant, stated that he owns the building for the proposed site of the recreation center. He plans on having a 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. closing time so that he would not have to deal with the curfew law. He feels his business will attract a younger crowd. Comm. Czaja questioned what the applicant would have inside. The applicant stated that he proposes to have 6 pool tables, foosball tables and video and pinball arcade. Shakopee Planning Commission Page Six Comm. Kahleck asked the applicant about parking for the facility. The applicant stated that he plans to encourage parking in the rear and proposes to put a bicycle rack in the back. Forbord/Czaja moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.

The business shall comply with City Code Section 10.28 regarding curfew. 2. The business shall comply with all Fire and Life Safety Codes. 3 . The business shall provide adult supervision at all times. 4. The business shall strictly enforce the rules that were submitted as part of the application for the CUP. Those being: a.

The business shall comply with City Code Section 10.60 regulating noise. 6. The business shall be subject to a 6 month review by the Shakopee Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously. Chrmn. Rockne advised the audience and applicant of the 7 day appeal period. APPROVAL OF ANNUAL REVIEW - J.T. SHIELY CO City Planner stated that in January of 1985 a CUP was issued to the J.L. Shiely Co. He stated that the permit requires an annual review by the Planning Commission and every year the Shiely Co. has provided the City with a report. Shakopee Planning Commission Page Seven Comm. Czaja questioned why the report indicates that pumping was done in November which is not within the stated time frame in the permit. Comm. Czaja also questioned why a Reclamation Committee was formed approximately three years ago and as of yet no meeting has been held. He stated that he would like to see a meeting held. City Planner stated that he tried several times to get the committee together and that some members did tour the facility in July. Comm. Forbord stated that he had reviewed a minimum of two memo's regarding a meeting and stated that the applicant has called repeatedly to see if anyone was interested. Comm. Czaja asked if during their pumping operation, J.L. Shiely Co. could pump some of the water towards Deans Lake. Linda Schutz, J.L. Shiely Co. , stated that the company had to pump water in November to lower the water level so ice forming during the winter would not damage the pumping station. She said, this year is a particularly unique situation due to the construction at the Blue Lake Treatment Facility. She stated that the Shiely Co. is going to take the excess rock from that excavation and use it to make crushed stone for aggregate which will mean that they will not expect to have to pump in February- June because they won't have to be mining in the quarry. She added that they will have to pump a little bit so as to not overtop the pumping station. She also stated that the Shiely Co. could entertain the idea of pumping water towards Deans Lake if the City or Dean's Lake residents would pay for the extra cost. Comm. Czaja recommended that pumping towards Deans Lake be an item for the Reclamation Committee meeting. Forbord/Stafford moved to approve the J. L. Shiely Co. annual review required by Conditional Use Permit #375 and that approval shall include the conditions that were agreed upon on the January 7, 1988 Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Comm. Forbord suggested that staff be directed to set a meeting for the Reclamation Committee to include Councilman Zak. VACATION OF ALLEY NORTH OF TACO JOHN'S City Planner stated that there is a petition for vacation of the alley on Block 12 behind Taco John's. He added that the restaurant's retaining wall encroaches on the alley. He stated that the alley is presently unimproved and that the City has no Shakopee Planning Commission Page Eight future plans for improving the alley. Comm. Kahleck stated that there is a house directly behind Taco John's that clearly uses that property and questioned how a vacation would effect them. Ci-" Planner stated that 1j2 oY the vacated alley would become their property. The property has access from Clay Street. Comm. Forbord stated that ignorance should not be the rule. He feels that it is difficult to determine what the future plans for the alley would be and that the city does not have a need to vacate that alley. He stated that he doesn't think the city is in the position to give up that alley because someone made a mistake. Comm. Allen questioned what would happen if the alley was not vacated. What would happen to the wall? City Planner stated that legally the city could require them to move it, but that he didn't know what all the alternatives would be. Comm. Czaja stated that whether the wall was put there by mistake or not is a legal issue. He feels that one needs to look at the alley itself and its long term effect and whether or not it fits in the overall city plan or comprehensive plan. Foudray/Forbord moved to recommend to City Council that the vacation of the alley located on Block 12 behind Taco John's be denied. Motion denied. Chrmn. Rockne, Comm. Allen, Stafford and Czaja opposed. Czaja/Allen moved to recommend to City Council that the vacation of the alley located on Block 12 behind Taco John's be approved. Motion carried with Vice Chrmn. Foudray, Comm. Kahleck and Forbord opposed. YEAR END REPORT Foudray/Allen moved to recommend to City Council that the Planning Commission Year End Report be approved. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION City Planner stated that an audience member plans to request a conditional use permit for an auto repair shop abutting a dedicated public right of way. On the industrial road off of 13th Avenue East. He stated that 80 - 908 of the business would be wholesale automobiles and that 10 - 208 of the cars would be Planning Commission Page Nine sold directly to customers. He added that in the Shakopee I-1 zone, retail sales are not a permitted use. City Planner stated that the audience member wants to know before he purchases the property and the CUP expense whether or not the use in the zone of 10 - 20% sales to customers would be permitted. Chris Anderson, Eden Prairie, stated that he does not intend to make a car lot out front. There would be no lights, etc. He stated that he would plan to build a cement tilt up 8,800 sq. ft. building. He claims that he would have only 1 - 2 cars a month that would be retail sales where you would have to collect sales tax. Discussion was held regarding the fact that the proposed applicant could not advertise his business but that no one could stop him from selling a car if someone walked in to the shop. City Planner stated that with the approval of the Shakopee Valley Square PUD some concerns were raised with regard to the Building Dept. procedure regarding the $7,500 deposit received of Mr. Bakken. He added that a memo was prepared for their review. Comm. Czaja raised some questions regarding LeRoy Houser's memo. He questioned what happens to the conditions that are set in a CUP and if Mr. Houser proposes that his department is not responsible for policing zoning issues, who is in charge? City Planner stated that the Planning Dept. is responsible for checking on the conditions of a CUP, but that beyond checking for compliance when a building permit is issued, they basically respond to complaints unless an annual review is required. Discussion continued regarding why they did not stick to the letter about returning the $7,500 deposit upon completion of the items. Comm. Forbord stated that all discussions regarding this topic are mute because there is no zoning or conformance officer in this community and there will not be until the City Council hires one. Czaja/Allen moved to table until staff can provide answers to all questions and give suggestions to prevent something like this from happening again. Motion carried. Dick VanTassel from the Backstretch RV Park stated that his perception is that they are dealing with two separate sets of rules. He stated that the Backstretch RV Park was not allowed to open because they did not have the proper wall board. He stated Shakopee Planning Commission Page Ten that they opened late and lost money their first year because they went out of their way to comply with City requirements. He stated that he saw another campground that was allowed to open when it did not have one trash can, had improper lights, no blacktop roads, etc. He wants to ensure that before this campground reopens that it is done properly and done by the same set of rules that he and his company had to conform to. OTHER BUSINESS City Planner stated that there were three options presented previously in regards to appointing a City Council liaison. He stated that perhaps a fourth option would be to just assign someone to handle the next Council meeting and make a long term decision after that. Comm. Czaja recommended to table this issue. Comm. Allen questioned what the role of a Planning Commission member at a meeting would be. Would he/she be expected to be the expert? He wondered what the role of staff is in this. He feels that it is an inappropriate request on the part of the City. City Planner stated that the purpose would be to have a second voice to give further background in response to the issues. Czaja/Stafford moved to table. It was decided that City Planner would contact the Chairman of the Planning Commission if there is something on the Council agenda is felt that a member of the Planning Commission should be there to address. Motion carried unanimously. Kahleck/Forbord moved to suggest that a letter of appreciation to John Schmitt be written to thank him for his service if City Council does not intend to already do so. Motion carried unanimously. ELECTION OF OFFICERS Chrmn. Rockne opened nominations for Chairman of the Shakopee Planning Commission for the 1989 session. Kahleck/Allen nominated Comm. Forbord.

Application DATE: March 3, 1989 INTRODUCTION• The Mebco Corporation has formally initiatad the process of constructing a new manufacturing facility in the City of Shakopee. The issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds is one of the tools the HRA informally agreed to provide to Mebco in the event that they do located in Shakopee. BACKGROUND: The Mebco Corporation is a very large manufacturer of combs, hair picks and related products. The HRA has received information during the past few months about the Mebco Corporation. At this time the developer is requesting the City to set a hearing for the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. As the BRA is aware, although the bonds will bear the name of the City of Shakopee the City has no responsibility for bond debt service. In the near future Mebco will be on the agenda again for the purpose of the provision of three years of tax increment financing assistance as discussed and approved earlier by the HRA. At this time Mebco is targeting early May as the time for completion of both the IDRB and TIF processes and the issuance of a building permit so that construction can start in May. A resolution for setting the public hearing for the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds is attached for your review. ALTERNATIVES• 1. Approve Resolution No. 89-1 for the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. 2. Approve the setting of a public hearing for the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. RECOMMENDATION• It is recommended that the Housing and Redevelo_raent Authority set a public hearing for the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for April 4, 1989.

Duane Wermerskirchen, Shakopee Jaycees was present and gave a brief review of what they are planning regarding the selling of advertising space on signs at Tahpah Park. He said the signs will only be up during the summer and will be taken down in the fall. All the signs meet the requirements of the City Code and permits have been applied for. George Muncheow replied that he is concerned with aesthetics and that they have done a good job planning for the signs. Ye is not opposing the erection of signs, but believes that ultimately there should be no signs on fences. He suggested that Council be open so that they can take Proceedings of the City Council February 21, 1989 Page 2 a look at, whether or not to continue allowing signs in the park, again in 3 to 4 years. Vierling/Zak moved concurrence with the Jaycee's plan for signage for Tahpah Park. Motion carried unanimously. Vierling/Wampach moved to accept the Resignation of Sh- la A.

Zak/Vierling moved to open the public hearing on proposed sidewalk improvement to Marschall Road along the East side between 4th and 10th Avenue. Motion carried unanimously. 1 The City Engineer reviewed the feasibility report on the proposed sidewalk improvements. He said, according to the latest state estimate, Marschall Road carries about 10, 000 vehicles per day. The recommended improvements are constructing 5 foot wide sidewalks. The total construction estimate plus contingency is approximately $72, 500. Cncl. Scott said he has a concern over the property taxes being high and he would like to go to the County Board to request assistance in this matter, since this is a County Road. He said that the Mt. Olive Church signed a developers agreement petitioning the City to construct the sidewalk and waiving their rights to a public hearing on the assessment. The Brooks Superette also signed a petition indicating that the City can construct the sidewalk an4 wai^ed their rights also on a public hearing on the assessment. The Century Plaza Square 3rd Developers Agreement requires construction of the sidewalk and also the City has a letter of credit which will expire July of 1989. The City Engineer reviewed the two alternatives for assessing construction. One would assess the retaining wall against all properties in the area and another would assess the retaining wall against abutting properties only. Mayor Lebens asked if there was anyone from the audience who wished to address the proposed improvements. The City Clerk read a letter from Super 8 Motel stating that the construction of the sidewalk is the responsibility of the Developer and there is a letter of credit on file to cover costs. She read a letter also from the First United Presbyterian Church saying it was their feeling that a sidewalk was not needed up as far as the church at this time. Prcceed'_ngs of the City Council Frhruary 21, 1523 Page 3 Myrvin Secord, 511 W. with St. , stated that he believed the County created the problem when constructing CR-17 and that they should pay for the retaining wall. John Nelson, said he does not feel there is a need for the sidewalk going all the way up to the church at this time and also with the construction of the bypass that it should be put on hold until the final plans for that have been made. Cletus Link, 12831 Link Dr. , he asked more about the letter of credit that is on file. The City Attorney replied that the money is there for the City to use when they are ready. Ted Klehr, President of Maplewood Townhouse Association, said there are several senior citizens living in the project and it will put a lot of burden on people living with a fixed income. Jerry Miller, 471 Marschall Road, said they have already put sidewalks in and asked if they were going to be assessed. The City Engineer said they will not be assessed. Cncl. vierling said she favors the project and agrees that we should talk with the County. Cncl. Zak said he feels the City should look into the possibility of renewing the letter of credit for four years, that the City should check on what the County is doing, that little has been said about safety and that he favors tabling for more data. Clay/vierling moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Clay/Zak moved to table construction of sidewalks on the East side of Marschall Road and direct staff to come back with more information on the letter of credit and the County's Plans and State Plans for the roadway as well as sending Cncl. Scott to the County to see if they will contribute any money and also have Police and Public Works come back with a report on the public safety issue. Motion carried unanimously. Scott/Wampach moved to have the City Engineer accompany Cncl Scott when he speaks to the County Board regarding the sidewalk improvements along Marschall Road. Motion carried unanimously. Wampach/Zak moved to open the public hearing on proposed improvements to 3rd Avenue between Spencer and Shumway and all North-South streets between 3rd and 4th Avenues within these project limits. Motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer reviewed the feasibility report done for this project. Holmes street was eliminated from this project. The Proceedings of the City Council February 21, 1989 Page 4 total cost estimate plus contingency based on 1988 bid prices is approximately $1, 100, 000. Only 25% of the roadway and sidewalk reconstruction would be assessed. Storm sewer will not be assessed. Watermain will be a SPUC expense. The roadway and sidewalk are the only issues that will be assessed. One alternative he is recommending is to eliminate Shuaway between 3rd and 4th and replace it with Scott street between 2nd and 3rd. The Mayor said that all assessments are spread over a 10 year period. The Mayor asked if there was anyone from the audience who wished to address this issue. Emil Halden, corner of 3rd and Fuller, asked if he would be assessed for both east and west and north and south sides. The City Engineer answered only the front frontage would be fully _ assessed to him and the side will be spread out among properties in the rest of the block. Cncl. Clay expressed concern for the children from the catholic school who play in the street during recess. He does not feel that the rope that the school puts up across the street is very safe.

Vice Chair Future and Technology Long Term Health Care Commission February 22, 1989 The Hon. Dolores Lebens Mayor, Shakopee School Board 538 - 4th Avenue Shakopee, MN 55379 Dear Mayor Lebens: _ I feel that it is inportant that I communicate with all of the meters of the Shakopee School Board and the Shakopee City Council regarding a bill that I have introduced which deals with tax incremlent financing districts and school district's excess levy referendum. This bill says that funds that are realized in a TIF district will go to the - school district. This differs from current statute which states that after a certain date the two elected bodies must came to agreement on the funds, which was the process that Shakopee went through this past year. Representative Bob McBachern, chair of the House Education Committee, asked me if I would be the chief author of this bill. Since it has the support of AMSD (Association of Metropolitan School Districts) and MS13A (Association of Minnesota School Boards Association) , I believe that if I do not choose to carry it someone else undoubtedly will. I want to assure you that my foremost goal in this bill is to make sure that the agreement all of you supported will be grandfathered into any future legislation. As the author of this bill, it will be much easier for me to keep track of this agreement. It has always been my position that school districts should receive the revenue from an excess levy. I believe it is a matter of maintaining public trust in the referendum process. It was my observation that the process for arriving at an agreement regarding these funds was a very divisive one. In my opinion the current legislation puts the local governmental units in an almost unavoidably confrontational situation that is destructive for the entire community. Obviously that is not good state policy, even though in our case the final agreement was a fair one. I would appreciate any of your thoughts on the subject.

Fourth Ave. Shakopee, MN 55379 Dear Mayor Lebens: Governor Perpich has appointed an interagency task force, consisting of state agency commissioners and support staff, to address the problem of cleaning up dumps and litter along streams and rivers in Minnesota. The Interagency Clean Rivers Task Force has developed a number of initiatives that will help rid Minnesota of these potentially dangerous and unsightly dumps. A brochure is enclosed that explains the Minnesota Clean Rivers Project. Your help is needed to ensure the success of this program in your area. The Governor will be issuing a -Mayor's Challenge- in the spring of 1989, to motivate communities to clean up a stretch of river in or near their municipality. We encourage you to initiate and participate in this worthwhile project. Not only will you develop community pride from this effort, but you will be ridding the area of a potential health hazards and an eyesore. We will keep you apprised of all new developments with this event. We also request that you, your city or local organizations, consider the -Adopt a River Program," so Minnesota's rivers will never again be subjected to the illegal dumping of trash and litter. This program encourages groups to select a section of river which will become their responsibility to periodically clean up a y enhance wildlife habitat. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in these exciting proposals. For more information, please write to Minnesota Clean Rivers Project, Box 52, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4052 or call (612) 296-0735. S cerely, a Donald A.

Cox, City Clerk RE: Vacation of Alley North of Taco John's DATE: March 1, 1989 INTRODUCTION: The attached resolution vacates the alley in the block just North of Taco John's. BACKGROUND: A public hearing has been set for March 7th, 1989 to consider the vacation of the alley in Block 12, North of Taco John's. Taco John's was built in the summer of 1987. In conjunction with the construction of Taco John's, a retaining wall was also constructed to the North of Taco John's. This construction was done without consulting city staff and does encroach into the alley right-of-way. Rather than incur the cost of relocating the retaining wall, the owner, Allen Plaisted, submitted a petition to vacate the alley. The alley has not been improved, and the City has no plans for improving the alley. Because of the retaining wall, the alley is not passable. The two homes built within this Block both have access to Clay Street and one also has access to 1st Avenue. Abutting property owners have received notice of the public hearing. If the alley is to be vacated, easel.-=.t rights must be reserved 'because there is a watermain, electric line and gas main located within the alley. The Chief of Police, City Engineer, and Public Works Superentendent have indicated that they have no problem with the vacation. Shakopee Public Utilities does want easement rights retained. The Planning Commission has considered the vacation to determine if it is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and have recommended that Council approve the request for vacation. See attached memo from the City Planner. ALTERNATIVES: 1] Vacate the alley in Block 12, retaining easement rights 2] Do not vacate the alley and require that the retaining - wall be moved 3] Do not vacate the alley and allow the retaining wall to remain upon City right-of-way Vacation of Alley North of Taco Johns March 1, 1989 Page -2- RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternative number 1. The City has no plans to improve the alley. There is no real need to retain the alley and require Mr. Plaisted to inour the expense of moving the retaining wall. Not vacating the alley and allowing the retaining wall to be on City property does incur some liability on the part of the City. There is no reason to consider this alternative. RECOMMENDED ACTIC74: 1] Hold a public hearing and determine whether or not the alley serves a public purpose. If the alley does not serve a public purpose, adopt the resolution vacating the alley. 2] Offer Resolution No. 3027, A Resolution Vacating the Public Alley in Block 12, According to the Plat of Shakopee City, Scott County, Minnesota, and move its adoption. TACOJOHN RESOLUTION NO. 3027 A RESOLUTION VACATING THE PUBLIC ALLEY IN BLOCK 12, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT OF THE SHAKOPEE CITY, SCOTT COUNTY, MINNESOTA WHEREAS, it has been made to appear to the Shakopee City Council that the alley in Block 12, Shakopee City no longer serves any public interest or use save and except for the installation and maintenance of public utilities; and WHEREAS, a public hearing to consider said vacation was held in the Council Chambers of the City Hall in the City of Shakopee at 7:30 p.m. on March 7, 1989; and WHEREAS, two weeks published notice has been given in the Shakopee Valley News and posted notice has been given by posting such notice on the bulletin board on the main floor of the Scott County Courthouse, and on the bulletin board in the Shakopee City Hall; and WHEREAS, all persons desiring to be heard on the matter were heard at the public hearing in the Council Chambers in the City of Shakopee.

Wise, City Planner RE: Vacation of Alley North of Taco John's DATE: February 27, 1989 INTRODUCTION• At their meeting on February 9, 1989 the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed vacation of the alley North of Taco John's to determine whether or not the proposed vacation is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission passed a motion indicating to the City Council that the vacation is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and recommending that the City Council approve the proposed vacation. BACKGROUND: As required by State Statutes the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed vacation of the alley located North of Taco John's in Block 12 of the Original City plat to determine if the proposed vacation was in conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City staff indicated to the Planning Commission that the existing alley is not improved and that the City has no future plans for improvement of the alley. The staff also indicated that there are existing utilities on the alley right-of-way and that a condition of the vacation would require easement agreements for the utilities. The staff had recommended to the Planning Commission that they pass a motion finding the vacation of the alley not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed vacation in sone detail and a cony of the minutes from the February 9, 1589 meeting reflecting the discussion and action taken by the Planning Commission is attached.

He stated that the alley is presently unimproved and that the City has no future plans for improving the alley. Comm. Rahleck stated that there is a house directly behind Taco .john's that clearly uses that property and questioned `.ow a vacation would effect them. City Planner stated that 1/2 of the vacated alley would become their property. The property has access from Clay Street. Comm. Forbord stated that ignorance should not be the rule. He feels that it is difficult to determine what the future plans for the alley would be and that the city does not have a need to vacate that alley. He stated that he doesn't think the city is in the position to give up that alley because someone made a mistake. Comm.. Allen quest?.oned what would happen if the alley was not vacated. What would happen to the wail? City Planner state:- that legally the city could re_c•aire . then t_ move it, but that he didn't know what all the alternatives would be. Comm. Czaja stated that whether the wall was put there by mistake or not is a legal issue. He feels that one needs to look at the alley itself and its long taru effect and whether or not it fits _n the =rail city plan or comprehensive plan. Foudray/Forbord moved to recommend to City Council that the vacation of the alley located on Block 12 behind Taco John's be denied. Motion denied. Chrmn. Rockne, Comm.

Kraft, Acting City Administrator FROM: Douglas K. Wise, City Planner RE: Setbacks for Industrial Buildings Abutting a Railroad Spur DATE: February 27, 1989 INTRODUCTION• At their meeting on January 17, 1989 the City Council received from the Planning Commission a recommendation that the current City Code requirements for a 30' rear yard setback in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts be amended to allow a 20' rear yard setback for buildings abutting a railroad spur. At the January 17th meeting, the City Council reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission and passed a motion directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance amending the Code as recommended by the Planning Commission. Attached is the Ordinance drafted by the City Attorney. BACKGROUND: At their meeting on October 4, 1988, the City Council heard the appeal of Bush Lake Industries regarding the Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission for location of the 70' storage tanks. Because the building was constructed with a 20' rear yard setback, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to review the City Code to determine if setback requirements adjacent to railroad tracks needed to be changed. Currently in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts of the City Code, side yard setback requirements for buildings are currently 0' when abutting a railroad track. This provision is not included for rear yard setbacks which require a setback of 301 . At their meeting on January 5, 1989 the Planning Commission held a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the City Code that would allow a 20' rear yard setback for buildings abutting a railroad spur in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission passed a motion recommending to the City Council that the City Code be amended to allow the 20' rear yard setback for buildings abutting a rail road spur in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts. At their meeting on January 17, 1989 the City Council reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Commission and passed a motion directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance making the Code change as recommended by the Planning Commission. Attached is the Ordinance drafted by the City Attorney. ALTERNATIVES• 1. The City Council could offer and approve Ordinance #262 amending the City Code to allow a 20' rear yard setback for buildings abutting a railroad spur in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts. 2. The City Council could offer and pass a motion to not adopt Ordinance #262 and thereby retain the existing 30' rear yard setback in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts for buildings which abut a railroad spur. 3. The City Council could change Ordinance #262 to require a different setback requirement in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning District and approve Ordinance #262 with the change. RECOMMENDATION• The Planning Commission and City staff have both recommended alternative #1. ACTION REODESTED: offer and pass Ordinance #262 amending the City Code to allow a 20' rear yard setback for buildings abutting a railroad spur in the I-1 and I-2 Zoning Districts.

Kraft, Acting City Administrator FROM: Barry A. Stock, Administrative Assistant RE: Approval of Dial-A-Ride Contract DATE: February 24, 1989 INTRODUCTION• On February 7, 1989 the Shakopee City Council directed staff to negotiate an agreement with Morley Bus Company for the provision of Dial-A-Ride service in Shakopee. On February 15, 1989 the Energy and Transportation Committee reviewed the proposed Dial-A-Ride contract between the City of Shakopee and Morley Bus Co. Upon review of the contract the Committee is recommending Council approval. (See attachment #1) BACKGROUND: Prior to City Council approval of the selection of Morley Bus Company as Shakopee's new Dial-A-Ride provider, one of the prospective bidders sent a correspondence to all City Council members regarding the review process. The prospective provider (Metro Ride Inc. ) thought that the request for proposal review team errored in their analysis of the proposals. At the February 7, 1989 City Council meeting staff responded to each of the concerns raised by Metro Ride and also explained the review process utilized by the review team. On February 15, 1989 Metro Ride, Inc. formally filed a dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution process as set forth in the request for proposal specifications. On February 15, 1989 the Shakopee Energy and Transportation Committee reviewed Metro Ride Inc. 's dispute and the review team's methodology. The Energy and Transportation Committee felt that the methodology utilized by the review team was consistent with the best interest of the City of Shakopee and the procedures set forth by the Regional Transit Board. In accordance with the dispute resolution process set forth in the request for proposal specifications, the request for proposal review team met on February 16, 1989 to consider Metro Ride's dispute. At that time, the review team found no basis in Metro Ride's dispute to justify a change in position in terms of Dial-A-Ride provider selection. On February 22, 1988, a formal response was sent by the review team to Metro Ride addressing their concerns raised in the dispute. On February 24, 1989, we received notification from Metro Ride officials stating their satisfaction with the review teams evaluation and response. This action concluded the local dispute resolution process. Now that the dispute has formally been resolved, it would be appropriate for the City Council to authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into an agreement with Morley Bus Co. for the provision of Dial-A-Ride service in Shakopee. The City Attorney has approved the attached agreement as to form. l° C� ALTERNATIVES• 1. Move to authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute the Dial-A-Ride contract agreement between the City of Shakopee and Morley Bus Co. Inc. 2. Move to amend the Dial-A-Ride contract between Morley Bus Co. and the City of Shakopee and recommend it's approval. 3. Table action on the approval of the Dial-A-Ride contract agreement between Morley Bus Co. and the City of Shakopee pending further information from staff.

Remer, Personnel Coordinator Re: City Administrator Selection Process Date: March 1, 1989 Introduction The position of City Administrator was vacated Nov. 4, 1988 and advertisements to fill the position were published locally and nationally in late October and early November, 1988, with resumes to be received by 11/18/88. Background Initially Council elected to fill the Administrator position using the competitive process. Some concerns have been raised questioning the minimum qualifications as advertised and the possible liability to the City. The law office of Kress & Monroe recommended re-advertising the position with the required qualifications accurately reflecting Council's profile. Mayor Lebens, Council Member Vierling and I had an informational meeting with Karen Olson of Labor Relations, Inc, on Monday, Feb. 27th. Ms. Olson also suggested a new advertisement be published that more closely defines Council's profile. Mayor Lebens telephoned all other council members for approval to run another ad and directed staff to proceed. The advertisement and letter advising the applicants are attached for your information. The City of Shakopee is a subscriber of the services of Labor Relations, Inc. The MAMA Committee on Labor Relations Subcriber Service Contracts has negotiated an agreement between the League of Minnesota Cities and Labor Relations Associates, Inc. for special subscriber services. The City pays an annual fee to the League of Cities for this service which covers labor negotiation, mediation and general advise and telephone consultations. Ms. Olson has a comprehensive personnel background and is available as an outside consultant for the selection process. Some areas in which she could assist the city are as follows: Screening - Develop guidelines for screening candidates using criteria such as knowledge, skills, experience and accomplishments, matching these to the needs of the community. Testing - Devise testing criteria including both oral and written testing, in-basket exercises, etc. ; again tailored to the community. Interviewing - Create standardized interview questions customized to community issues and city functions & operations. Select an interview panel to include other area professionals. Council members are welcome to observe. To summarize, she looks at the City's needs and tries to match those needs with the appropriate individual, assuring that the EEO is fully complied with and that all candidates are subjected to a fair objective process. She is available to assist the City in the areas in which they so desire, therefore utilizing some or all of the listed services available. The subscriber fee is $56/hr. (compared to $75/hr. for clients outside the subscriber service). To customize the testing and interviewing process usually requires 40 hours. Note: The city will not be charged for the consultation with Ms. Olson on Monday, that visit will be charged against the subscriber contract service. Action Recuested Staff is seeking Council discussion to determine the final selection process. )I a' March 1, 1989 Dear Applicant: Re: City Administrator Position The selection process for the position of City Administrator was delayed due to other pressing business priorities, therefore the City Council has decided to begin the process anew.

Kraft, Acting City Administrator CONSENT From: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director Re: Use of City Property located behind Gopher State Date: February 22, 1989 Introduction The City owns land behind Gopher State. Tom Koskovich has approached the City about farming the land. Back rg ound The City acquired 30+ acres behind Gopher State for south bypass right- of-way. Funding is an interest-free loan from Metropolitan Council to be repaid when the land is sold (to MN DOT) . The City leased the land for a few years to a local farmer but the taxes became too high to make a lease feasible. Since then, Public Works has been responsible for mowing the property. Recently, Tom Koskovich approached the City about leasing the land. The tax situation makes a lease uneconomical. However, in discussing alternatives with the Assessor for Shakopee on 2/21/89, he indicated that as long as the City received no direct compensation (i.e. cash or a share of the crop), the land could be classified as tax exempt even though someone would be farming the land and taking a crop off of it. The benefit for the City is avoiding the expense of mowing the land which would be about 64 hours of labor and machine use. Mr. Koskovich understands that MN DOT may acquire the land at any time and he may lose a crop due to construction activity. Alternatives 1. Status Quo - City mowing the land 2. Permit Mr. Koskovich to farm the land at no cost. Recommendation Alternative No. 2 Action Recuested Move to permit Tom Koskovich to use the City owned south bypass right-of- way land at the west edge of the City on a day-to-day basis at no cost. CONSENT 1 MEMO TO: Dennis Kraft, Acting City Administrator FROM: Dave Hutton, City Engineer SUBJECT: Sewer Backup Claims Committee DATE: March 2 , 1989 INTRODUCTION: The Sewer Backup Claims Committee has received a request for reimbursement due to a sewer backup. BACKGROUND: Mr. Jim Mork, 903 W. 5th Avenue, has submitted a claim to the City of Shakopee totalling $1 ,808 .50 for reimbursement due to a recent sewer backup. Attached are copies of the bills for this claim. In September, 1987 the property owner suffered a sewer backup in his basement. At that time, Roto-Rooter called and the line was cleaned out. In February, 1989 a second backup occurred in the basement. The Engineering Department was then notified of this second backup. Due to the recent history of the first backup, the property owner was instructed to investigate the problem and once the problem was discovered the appropriate action would then be taken. The property owner hired a contractor to dig out the service line and upon investigation of the service line it was discovered that a 3 or 4 foot gap in the service line existed. This gap in the line caused the sewer to flow into the ground rather that into the sanitary sewer system. Over time, the ground became saturated with sediment and caused the sewer to backup. In 1985 the main line sewer on 3rd Avenue was reconstructed under a City contract. None of the service connections were included in this project. The City's contractor was S.M. Hentges & Sons. Several years prior to the main line sewer being replaced , the property owner apparently had replaced his private service line on his own. It is impossible to determine if the "gap" in the service line was created when the private service line was installed or at the time the main line was replaced. It would seem reasonable to assume at the time the main line was constructed, the service line could have been pulled apart by the teeth of the backhole. Again, this is pure speculation and not definite. The Sewer Claims Backup Committee has reviewed this case and has directed staff to take the following course of action: 1 . Contact the City ' s contractor from 1985 , S.H. Hentges & Sons , to find out if he would pay the entire claim of $1 ,808.50 . 2 . Submit the entire claim to our insurance company to find out if they will pay it. 3 . The City of Shakopee will pay whatever is not paid from No. 1 and 2 above. City staff has contacted the contractor on this subject, and he has indicated that he would be willing to pay for 50% of the claim . Staff would like to point out that legally, the contractor has no obligation to pay any of this claim and also the City has no legal basis for demanding payment. The contract is no longer active and the warranty period has expired. Staff feels that the contractor is being very responsible in offering to pay 50% of the claim. Staff has also submitted this claim to the insurance company for their review. At this time, staff does not feel that the insurance company will pay this claim because there is little proof of negligence on the part of the City. Therefore, they will probably deny the claim. The Sewer Claims Backup Committee is recommending that any reimbursements on this claim be withheld until the insurance company has had the time to respond to it. If the insurance company denies the claim, the Backup Committee feels that the City should pay for the remainder of the claim that is not being paid for by the contractor. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Approve of the recommendation of the Sewer Claims Backup Committee. 2. Deny the recommendation of the Sewer Claims Backup Committee. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative No . 1 to approve of their recommendation. ACTION REQUESTED: Move to direct the appropriate City staff to submit this claim to the insurance company for processing. If the insurance company denies the claim, staff should be directed to pay the remainder of the claim that is not being paid by the contractor. Funding for this payment would come out of the Sanitary Sewer Fund. ROTO-ROOTER SEFITCES COMPANY INVOICE NO I fii9` 0- { � 38459 ore , REFERENCE NO.

The schedule is divided into two categories: Highway Construction and Drainage Construction. There are several features of this schedule that staff would like to highlight and summarize for Council. Under the Highway Construction Section, the work is broken down into 4 separate projects . With the exception of the City preparing the plans for the 6 crossroads for which Barton-Aschman has been retained, Mn/DOT will prepare all other plans, purchase all of the right-of-way and administer all construction contracts. As indicted in the letter, the proposed schedule for letting the bids on the Bypass is November, 1990 • . Under the Drainage Construction Section, there are 3 separate projects . Projects 1 and 2 are basically the existing Upper Valley Drainage System that is designed and ready to bid as soon as the trout stream issue is resolved . Project 3 is the remainder of the Upper Valley Drainage Project from C. R . 17 westerly through C.R. 15 and also 5 north-south connections from the Shakopee Bypass. As indicated in the letter, March of 1990 is the latest date that the City of Shakopee has to bid all 3 drainage projects without delaying the bypass. Hopefully, Projects 1 and 2 will be bid and constructed this year, depending on final permit approvals. The City is currently designing Part 3 , as part of our $1 .0 million contribution to Mn/DOT, and OSM has been retained to do this work. The Mn/DOT schedule indicates that the right-of-way will be obtained by Mn/DOT or through the platting process . Mn/DOT also indicates that they would like the City to construct this project, which again consists of the remainder of the Upper Valley System and 5 north-south connections from the Bypass. Since portions of this project are actually in Jackson Township, the City may want to request that Mn/DOT actually construct this project. In either case cooperative agreements would need to be executed with Jackson Township. The other point staff would like to reiterate for Council is that Mn/DOT is paying approximately 151 of the Upper Valley Drainage Project, based on the percentage of stormwater runoff created by the Bypass in relation to the total runoff generated by the entire drainage basin. This same process will be used to calculate the cost sharing for the 5 north-south lines from the Bypass. Staff wanted to make Council aware that the City will probably pay for 60-70% of those north-south storm sewers, in addition to our share of the Upper Valley Project. It should also be noted that in Mr. Crawford' s letter, Mn/DOT is expecting the City to adopt a mandatory ponding ordinance, within the Upper Valley Drainage Basin. This is the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan submitted to Council for review several weeks ago. RECOMMENDATION: A formal response should be drafted to Mn/DOT discussing the proposed schedule , especially as it pertains to the City commitments , and requesting any changes if desired. As staff sees it, the main item that should be discussed is whether or not the City should construct the 3rd drainage project or would it be better for Mn/DOT to do the contract since a portion of this project traverses through Jackson Township. At this point, staff recommends that Mn/DOT complete this portion of the construction. ACTION REQUESTED: Move to direct the appropriate City staff to draft a response to Mn/DOT regarding the proposed Shakopee Bypass schedule, including highway construction and drainage projects.

Highway Construction Projects 11, #2 and #3 may precede the drainage projects. Preliminary grading of Highway Project #4 may be concurrent with the drainage construction. However, in order to complete the portion of the highway shown as Project #4, it will be necessary to have all three portions of the drainage construction completed prior to beginning final grading and surfacing of Highway Project A. Therefore, the March 1990 letting for Drainage Project #3 would be the latest date which would permit the completion of the Shakopee Bypass as scheduled. It is my understanding that Drainage Project #1 was not let on 1-15-89 and will not be let until agreement on mitigation measures for Drainage Project #2 has been reached with the permitting agencies. Drainage Project #2 storm swat design is complete with the exception of mitigation measures and the cooperative agreement. As the Project 01 cost share between Mn/DOT and Shakopee was based upon design criteria which reflects ponding in most of the designated areas shown in the Shakopee Comprehensive Drainage Plan, it is expected that the City will take steps to protect these ponding areas within the City limits by either a mandatory ponding ordinance or obtaining the necessary ponding easements. If it is decided to modify the design criteria to include mandatory ponding in all areas within the City limits as defined by ordinance or easements, the drainage plan for the Shakopee Bypass for the contributing drainage areas will be modified to include additional ponding also. In addition, the District 5 Hydraulics Engineer, Ellen Anderson, is available to work with your Design Consultant as the proposed mitigation measures are developed and she will request assistance from the Mn/DOT Environmental Services staff if deemed helpful. As the highway projects between T.H. 169 and CSAR 16 cannot be completed without the downstream drainage, it is imperative that the permit and associated mitigation issues be resolved in a timely manner. gUil u� �ryN � u -� ♦N I -� i 6 pm 00 ao ON 9Uoe JW .aa s x x i f ma 000 9 2] S o f r'f m qn j w a m w � r � 11A -1 4 YZT Y a �l9 f Yy 2 9 a Wygm N D ?

BACKGROUND: r xa. .. _. ... On February 21 , 1989 a public hearing was held for improvements to 3rd Avenue between Spencer Street and Shumway Street and various north-south streets within those project limits between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue. The proposed improvements consist of reconstructing the street including sewer, water, sidewalk, curb & gutter and pavement. At the conclusion of the public hearing, City Council ordered the preparation of plans & specifications by adopting Resolution No. 3021 . During the public hearing, one property owner indicated that they had not received the official notification of the hearing. Staff has researched this omission and has discovered that 17 separate parcels were inadver-Gently omitted from the original mailing `or the tearing. Staff has no legitimate ev;r anation for tris error. It was simply a miscommunication amongst staff. In talking to the City Attorney and City Clerk, staff has drawn the conclusion that a second public hearing is required to satisfy the requirements of Minnesota Statutes for 429. This second public h^aring would ba for the benefit of those parcels that were not notified of the first public hearing. Attached is a map and list of those properties that were not notified. The City Clerk has indicated that the original motion ordering the plans & specifications should be reconsidered until after the second public hearing . Attached is Resolution No. 3028 which calls for a second public hearing on this project for Council consideration. ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Adopt Resolution No. 3028. 2 . Deny Resolution No. 3028.

Clear Shakopee City Council Members: Soon you will be deciding who to hire as. the city attorney for Shakopee . I understand that Kathleen Morris is one attorney you are considering. I just want to remind you that less than three years ago the voters of Scott County ( including Shakopee) said loud and clear that we wanted Morris out of public office . Over her eight years of experience we voted for a young kid right out of school . When you make a decision on who to hire , you are not deciding what attorney you , personally, would go to. You are deciding for us, the residents of Shakopee . We already decided we did NOT want Morris. If you really believe Morris is the best one for this job, please give the voters advance notice and plenty of chance for input . I don' t believe the majority in Shakopee wants to turn our city into a three-ring circus for the news media. again . Sincerely, A Shakopee Resident 11 March 4 , 19E5 r Kathleen Morris Attorney at Law _ Shakopee , MN 55374 Dear Ms. Morris: I am a Shakopee resident who is very angry that you have a.pplied to represent the public as the city attorney in Shakopee . I art. angry because the voters, less than three years ago, voted You out of office by a. large maroin . We elected a Young, inexperienced attorney -- not because he was so good -- but because we were so unhappy with the way you handled things during your eight years in office . Applying for a public Job now is like slapping the citizenry in the face and saying: ' I don' t care what you want , fools, I 'm going to find another way to take some more of your money. ` If private citizens want you as their attorney, that's fine . But it's going to take a. long time before you have the public's trust again . Sincerely, A Shakopee Resident MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, Acting City Administrator FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk RE: Snow Removal from Sidewalks DATE: March 3, 1989 INTRODUCTION: At the last Councilmeeting, Councilman Clay asked staff to research recent council actions to determine if the snow removal policy has been changed to give property owners 36 hours to remove snow from sidewalks after a snow fall. BACKGROUND: Through the use of our new textware software, staff has researched the Council minutes for 1988 and have found no action taken by Council addressing snow removal from sidewalks within 36 hours. Since the current city code was adopted in 1978, snow removal from sidewalks was required within 12 hours. On February 2, 1988, "Councilman Clay initiated discussion about requiring property owners to remove snow from sidewalks within a certain number of hours. He suggested the time limit could be extended to make it more practical. " Council then "directed staff to come back with some alternatives regarding the requirement of property owners to remove snow from sidewalks." On March 1, 1988, Council received a memo from staff with recommendations on amending the city code (attachment #1) . Included with the memo was a survey of other cities and what their requirements are for snow removal after a snow fall. Also, on March 1st, Council adopted Ordinance No. 241, which continues to require snow removal from sidewalks in the commercial areas within 12 hours, and changed the requirement for snow removal in areas other than commercial to 24 hours. On January 17, 1989, the Acting City Administrator reviewed the present snow removal ordinance saying that at the present time the City is not enforcing the ordinance. There was then discussion about amending the current time required to remove snow after a snow fall. According the the minutes of Jan. 17th, there was a consensus of Council to change the City Code to require property in the downtown district to remove snow from the sidewalks within 24 hours, including residential property within the downtown district. Council did make a motion that the snow removal ordinance be enforced rather than go by complaints. There was no motion requesting that the a new ordinance be drafted changing the hours. Snow Removal From Sidewalks I' March 3, 1989 Page -2- ALTERNATIVES: 1) 12 hrs in all zones 1978-1988 requirement 2) 12 hrs in commercial zones current requirement 24 hrs in all other zones 3] 24 hrs in all zones 4] 24 hrs in commercial zones 36 hrs in all other zones 5] 36 hrs in all zones 6] other RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council review the attached memo and direct staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance if any amendment is desired. SNOWMEMO ATTACHEMENT #1 MEMO TO: John K. Anderson, City Admtnist ator FROM: Judith S. Cor., City Clerk '\ , RE: Snow Removal From Public Sidewalks DATE: February 18, 1988 INTRODUCTION: On February 2, 1988 , the City Council discussed briefly the city code requiring the removal of snow from public sidewalks within 12 hours after a snowfall. After discussion, Council asked staff to bring additional information on the matter to Council. BACKGROUND: A number of cities were called to determine what require- ments other cities have adopted (see attached survey) . The increments being used are 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours. The Public Works Superintendent suggested adopting the concept used by the City of Minneapolis, allowing the residential areas a longer period of time than the commercial areas. After discussion, consensus among the Public Works Superintendent, Building Inspector, City Administrator and City Clerk was to allow the residential areas 24 hours to remove snow from public sidewalks, but leave the commercial areas at 12 hours. The rationally for leaving the commercial areas at 12 hours is because the sidewalks are used more in these areas. ALTERNATIVES: 11 Status quo - snow removal within 12 hours in all areas 2] snow removal within 12 hours for commercial and 24 hours for residential areas as well as other areas ( zones) 3 ] Snow removal within 24 hours for all areas 4] Other RECOMMENDATION: Alternative 2, require the removal of snow within 12 hours in the commercial areas and within 24 hours in all other areas. RECOMMENDED ACTION: - Offer Ordinance No. 241, amending the city code to require snow removal in commercial areas within 24 hours after a snowfall and require snow removal in all other areas within 24 hours after a snowfall.

BACKGROUND: Attached is a letter from the City Engineers Association of Minnesota discussing the existing legislation regarding the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) and Highway Funding. The letter is fairly self-explanatory. In short, the current MVET legislation (passed in 1988) has a Sunset Clause in it that will eliminate the cities and counties from being included in the distribution of those MVET Funds. This will occur in 1992, with no other discussion since it is existing legislation. The City Engineers Association has passed a resolution opposing this " Sunset Clause" and are encouraging cities and counties to do the same. Attached is Resolution No. 3025, stating just that for Council consideration. In addition to the opposition to the Sunset Clause , the resolution also supports a 100% transfer of the MVET to the transportation fund. Currently, only 30% of this tax goes to the transportation fund, although the governor is proposing a 5% increase in 1990 and a 10% increase in 1991 (raising the total to 45%) . ALTERNATIVES: 1 . Adopt Resolution No. 3025. 2. Deny Resolution No. 3025. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 . ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Resolution No. 3025, A Resolution Recommending Funding for Street Construction in the State of Minnesota and move its adoption. DH/pmp MVET CITY ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION of MINNESOTA _ February 13, 1989 J T0: City Engineer or City Clerk - Shakopee RE: Reduction in Your Share of State Aid Road Funds Legislation (House File 1749) which wasassed in 1988 p provided for continuation of the sharing by the state, counties, and cities of monies transferred from the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) to the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund. That legislation has a Sunset Clause that will eliminate the counties and cities from sharing those MVET funds in 1992. This is a concern to all cities. The figures below will give you an idea of the losses in State Aid funds for roads that your city will experience after 1991 under the present law. The figures compare funds that are allocated to you in 1989 with the money you would have received in 1989 if the Sunset Clause cutoff had taken effect in 1989. The actual figures for 1992 are unknown at this time. Actual 1989 Allocation 1989 Allocation Net Loss in 1989 State Aid if MVET had been Funds if MVET Funds had been Eliminated in 1989 Eliminated for 1989 $376,653 $355,126 $21,527 The City Engineers Association of Minnesota unanimously passed the attached Resolution concerning MVET funding. It is forwarded for your information and as a sample that may be used for your city's consideration of passing a similar resolution. Your assistance in your city's passing and forwarding a similar resolution to your legislators, and/or other contacts with your legislators, is encouraged. Passage of legislation to eliminate the Sunset Clause and continue cities sharing the MVET income for road purposes is important to all cities. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.

The new contract provided for a rate increase on the 15th day of month in which the new refuse/recycling program would be implemented. BACKGROUND: In accordance with the City of Shakopee refuse/recycling agreement with Waste Management Inc. , it would be appropriate to amend the 1989 fee schedule providing for an increase in the refuse collection rates. Waste Management intends to implement the new program of refuse collection in conjunction with recyclables on March 13, 1989. Therefore, it would be appropriate for City Council to approve Resolution #3026 amending the 1989 fee schedule providing for an increase in the refuse collection rates. The current contract provides that the refuse/recycling collection rate will be increased on the 15th day of the month in which the new refuse/recycling program is implemented.
