He stated that each year the City of Shakopee receives funding for transit operations from the Regional Transit Board. Based upon the review of the current expenditure status and the recent implementation of two new Vanpools within the system, it appears that the City will exceed the budget amount approved by the RTB.

Mr. Stock stated that staff has been receiving additional requests for handicapped accessible vehicles within the Dial-A-Ride system, and that there is currently a standing order for such a vehicle during the peak operating hours. Mr. Stock suggested that the Energy and Transportation Committee may want to consider implementing a handicapped accessible Dial-A-Ride vehicle by November 15 , 1992 , instead of January 1 , 1993 , as previously planned. Reinke/Stafford offered a motion requesting that the appropriate City officials submit a budget amendment request to cover the costs associated with the following: Minutes of the Page - 2 Energy & Transportation Committee October 21, 1992 1. Additional unexpected Vanpool costs; 2 . Dial-A-Ride Advertising campaign; and 3 . Additional handicapped Dial-A-Ride vehicle effective November 15, 1992 . Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock stated that one of the goals and objectives for the Shakopee Energy and Transportation Committee was to conduct a Dial- A-Ride survey to determine ridership needs and satisfaction. Dial- A-Ride drivers recently distributed these surveys to the users of the service. The Energy and Transportation Committee reviewed and discussed the survey results. Mr. Stock stated that, although the results of the survey were positive, the survey should be redistributed during the winter months when there is a higher rate of ridership. The small sample size of this survey, with only 30 responses received, may make the survey results unreliable. Mr. Stock stated that staff has encountered difficulties in processing information from Vanpool driver reports to the Regional Transit Board due to late submittals of monthly reports from some of the Vanpool drivers. A letter was mailed to all of the drivers on September 8, 1992, reminding drivers that the Driver Reporting Sheets must be submitted within ten days of the end of each month. Discussion ensued between the Committee members on methods of alleviating this continual problem. The Committee discussed the possibility of developing a policy to charge Vanpool drivers a certain percentage of the monthly Vanpool fare for each month they submit late reports. After the submittal of four late reports within a year, the driver would be replaced. Commissioner Reinke suggested that drivers offer another rider an incentive to complete the monthly reports for the driver to assist in submitting the reports in a timely manner. Kelly/Reinke moved to request staff to develop a policy to provide disincentives to the Vanpool drivers when they submit late Driver Reporting Sheets. Motion carried unanimously. The Commissioners will review and take action on this policy at a later date. Mr. Stock explained a letter from Greg Andrews, Executive Director of the Regional Transit Board. The purpose of the letter was to clarify the recent RTB action to exclude vehicle capital costs from the opt-out's operating funds beginning in 1993 . Only vehicle operating charges associated with the delivery of transit service will be funded from the 90% transit property tax. Mr. Stock explained that grant money from the federal government is intended for the acquisition of buses. Under the new policy, a portion of the City's monthly costs will be considered capital even though no vehicles will be purchased. Beginning January 1, 1993 , capital costs will be funded form another funding source. Approximately 25% of the Vanpool expenses will no longer have to Minutes of the Page - 3 Energy & Transportation Committee October 21, 1992 come from the City' s property taxes. The Dial-A-Ride program costs are $22 . 15 per hour, and the capital portion of this is $2 . 01. Mr. Stock went on to say that the City may have had to cut services without this change in policy. He also stated that this policy change is a result of joint lobbying efforts with other opt-out communities. The Committee discussed the legislative liaison/government affairs representative proposal for opt-out transit systems in 1993 . Mr. Stock stated that the monthly cost to the City for the work by this representative is only $450. He stated that this is a very small amount in comparison to what the City's transit programs have gained this year from the lobbyist's efforts. Committee members discussed the Recycling Report, the Dial-A-Ride Report, the Saturday Dial-A-Ride Operations Report, and the Vanpool Operation Report. Reinke/Mars moved to adjourn at 8:22 P.M. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE SHAKOPEE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR SESSION SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA OCTOBER 21, 1992 Vice Chairman Albinson called the meeting to order at 5: 30 p.m. with Commissioners Brandmire, Miller, Unseth, Albinson and Phillips present. Commissioners Mars and Van Horn were absent. Barry Stock, Assistant City Administrator and Kate Ellis, Intern were also present. Brandmire/Miller moved to approve the minutes of the September 16, 1992 meeting as kept. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock gave a brief Economic Development update. Mr. Albinson reported that he has closed on a land transaction for Aurora Casket. He noted that they would be constructing a 15, 000 square foot warehouse building along Citation Drive. Commissioner Mars arrived at 5: 35 p.m. Mr. Stock reviewed the process that the Community Development Commission had been utilizing in our attempt to evaluate the development potential for Block 4 in downtown Shakopee. Mr. Stock stated that six (6) development options were identified by the Commission for review and analysis. He stated that based upon today' s market conditions and the demand for retail property as well as the cost factors involved, it would be staff 's recommendation to not pursue acquisition of the property located in Block 4 at this time. Mr. Stock stated that on October 7, 1992 in a Committee work session much discussion ensued on the possibility of utilizing dollars that may be available to pursue public improvement type projects as a means to stimulate downtown redevelopment. Mr. Stock noted that he has drafted a pre-development plan which addresses many of the concepts developed at the work session. Mr. Stock then reviewed the components of the pre-development plan. Mr. Stock noted that earlier in the day he had appeared before the Downtown Business Association to discuss the Community Development Commissions components in the draft pre-development plan. Mr. Stock noted that the concepts were well received by those in attendance. He noted that the first three items in the pre- development plan could be pursued in conjunction with the completion of the mini by-pass. These items included a re-design of the proposed parking lot north of the bebow so that it would be more aesthetically pleasing. The parking lot could also include plantings and lighting elements consistent with those used in the downtown redevelopment project. The second item identified would be the construction of an ornamental rail along the bridge and by- pass to match the character of the ornamental lighting. Finally, it might be appropriate to work with MnDOT to ensure that additional lighting in installed under the bridge at Levee Drive. Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -2- Discussion then ensued on the appearance of the buildings facing the mini by-pass. Mr. Stock noted that the pre-development plan identifies securing the property from the rear building face to the alley in Block 4 . This could be done through either a conservation easement, permanent easement or out right acquisition. Mr. Stock stated that the purpose for obtaining the property from the rear building face to the alley would give the City the ability to install plantings and resurface the existing bituminous. These plantings could serve as a retaining wall/buffer to improve the aesthetic appearance of the rear building faces. The City may also want to consider would be to utilize the rehab grant program and increase the grant percentage amount for priority development zones. Finally, it would be fairly inexpensive for the City to repaint the rear portion of the City Hall that is constructed of block. Mr. Stock noted that the plan also calls for the City to adopt strict regulatory standards to ensure consistent aesthetic building improvements in the downtown area. This could be done by simply amending the City Ordinance in terms of the B-3 district and required building standards. Mr. Stock noted that in Stillwater they have gone the extra mile and created a historic preservation district. Within the historic preservation district all building improvements must adhere to the strict historic preservation guidelines. Mr. Stock noted that he felt that this was perhaps more than what the City of Shakopee wanted to consider but that it could be done in a less restrictive manner. The next item regarding public improvements related to undergrounding the overhead utility lines within the downtown area. In conjunction with undergrounding the overhead utility lines staff would recommend reconstruction of the alleys within the downtown area. Mr. Stock stated that the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission (SPUC) has completed preliminary cost estimates for said undergrounding but that no meetings have occurred between the City and/or SPUC regarding potential cost sharing. Identification and construction of additional parking lot locations within the downtown area was also identified in the work session as a public improvement that should be pursued. Following the completion of the downtown mini by-pass, phase II of the downtown redevelopment project should be pursued. Finally, to improve the appearance of the downtown area and impress a positive image upon those persons who are traveling through and into our community the Commission suggested that the critical entry points be developed and improved by constructing structures such as fountain, tower, plantings, etc. Discussion ensued on the redevelopment options. Mr. Phillips stated that he was under the impression that if the City acquired Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -3- the entire block they would still be able to lease it out and that it would be subject to taxation. He noted that the loss of tax base is not valid providing the City leases the property out for commercial and/or retail use. Mr. Stock stated that he felt Mr. Phillips was correct and that any reference in the revitalization analysis that was contrary to this would be changed. Discussion ensued on the impact of plantings on rear building signage. Commissioner Albinson stated that if tree plantings are installed they would mask rear building signage. He doubted whether or not property owners would be willing to grant an easement if their rear building signage was blocked. Discussion ensued on whether or not rear building signage should be allowed on this block. Mr. Miller stated that he felt that rear building signage should not be allowed and that the City could adopt stricter regulatory ordinances to control signage in regard to this block and the downtown area. He went on to state that perhaps signage could be allowed but that it would have to be much smaller than what might typically be allowed on a building frontage. Mr. Mars suggested that perhaps the City would want to include in their critical entry points the development of an off premise advertising sign that could be owned by the City of Shakopee. Signage on the larger display sign could then be leased to property owners in the downtown. It was the consensus of the Commission that signage should not be forgotten in this process. One of the other options discussed to improve the appearance of buildings facing the mini by-pass was utilizing our existing rehab grant program. Discussion in the past has focused on the possibility of developing priority development zones. The development zones could perhaps have an increased grant percentage amount based upon the condition of the buildings in the block. Finally, one concept that could easily be accomplished would be to repaint the City Hall building to an earth tone color. Mr. Stock noted that at the present time the City does have building material standards for projects completed in the downtown area that utilize City financial assistance programs. Mr. Stock stated that one of the items that is listed on the pre-development plan is the adoption of regulatory standards to ensure consistent aesthetic building improvements. The adoption of these standards could be included in the City Code and would apply to all building permits int he downtown area. Regulatory standards could also be adopted in regard to rear building signage consistent with the previous discussion. The next public improvement listed in the pre-development plan relates to the underground of the overhead utility lines within the alleys downtown. Mr. Stock stated that no discussion has taken place between SPUC and the City Council on this matter. It might Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -4- be possible that all the blocks within the downtown area would not need to be underground. A underground plan could be put together to focus on those blocks which are a priority. Closely related to the underground of the utility lines is the reconstruction of the alleys within the downtown area. These two items go hand in hand. Resolution to this matter should be accomplished within the next two months if we expect to see the alleys improved in 1993 . Mr. Stock stated that the cost to underground overhead utilities in the downtown area varies between $40, 000-$45, 000 per block. The cost split between the City, SPUC and the property owners has not been discussed. At this time, staff has been loosely referring to a 33% split between the three parties. However, no formal Council discussion has been held on this matter. Mr. Stock noted that the previously mentioned cost estimate does not include the individual property owner costs for undergrounding the service connections to their buildings. Costs for resurfacing the alleys is approximately $6, 000 per block. Again, no Council discussion has been held regarding the assessment split for this project. It might be possible that only 25% of the alleys could be assessed. It is up to Council to determine if this constitutes new construction or reconstruction. Mr. Albinson questioned the possibility of receiving grant funding from the State of Minnesota Small Cities Development Grant Program. Mr. Stock stated that he has spoken with a representative from the Department of Trade and Economic Development regarding this program. The State Department official has indicated that to put together a grant application is a major time commitment. Mr. Stock noted that the next grant application deadline is scheduled for next September. He stated that current staffing does not allow for the City to put together a competitive application. Mr. Stock noted that a significant amount of time is needed to complete surveys of the tenants in the downtown area as well as the property owners. The Small Cities Development Grant Application Program must include a housing element. Mr. Brandmire stated that he has been involved with the Minnesota Small Cities Development Grant Program and that staff is correct when they state that it requires a significant amount of up front time with no guarantees of funding. The final components of the pre-development plan include completion of phase II of the downtown redevelopment plan and the development of critical entry points at each major intersection of the mini by- pass. Discussion ensued on the cost estimates for each of the items listed in the pre-development plan. Mr. Stock stated that he has generated very rough estimates for each of the items identified in the plan. Redesigning the parking lot north of the bebow was estimated at $50, 000. Constructing an ornamental rail along the mini by-pass ranges between $50, 000 - 100, 000 depending on where Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -5- the railing starts and ends. Staff projected that securing additional lighting under the bridge at Levee Drive could be done for nothing. Resurfacing the area from the rear building faces to the alley in Block 4 and installing plantings was estimated at $50, 000. Repainting the City Hall building was estimated at $2 , 000. Adopting regulatory standards to insure consistent aesthetic building improvements in the downtown area could be accomplished by simply amending the City Ordinance. Undergrounding the overhead utility lines within the downtown are would vary depending on how many blocks were included but a round number for discussion purposes was set at $100, 000 (City share) . Reconstructing the alleys within the downtown area would also vary depending on the number of blocks included and the City's determination on whether the project should be 100% assessed or 25% assessed. Identifying additional parking lots locations in the downtown area and constructing parking lots was estimated at approximately $200, 000. Competing phase II of the downtown redevelopment plan was estimated at $1 million. Developing critical entry points along the mini by-pass was estimated at $100, 000. Discussion ensued on the identification of parking lots on the south side of the bypass. Commissioner Miller questioned whether or not the plan should actually identify the parking lot locations at this time. Mr. Stock stated that he felt we should not specifically identify parking lot locations in the plan. However, at the time a presentation is made to the Shakopee HRA sites could be suggested for further consideration. Commissioner Albinson questioned how much of the phase II downtown improvements would be assessed. Mr. Stock noted that he estimated that approximately 25% of that would be assessed consistent with phase I. Mr. Stock also noted that some of the cost items were totally picked up by the City most notably the streetscape improvements. Mr. Stock did note however that a certain portion of the phase II costs could be absorbed by other City funding sources including the sanitary sewer fund and the storm sewer utility fund. Discussion then ensued on the possible funding sources for the items identified in the pre-development plan. Mr. Stock noted that the tax increment trust fund balance currently has a balance of approximately $3 million. In the year 2002 the balance is expected to grow to $6 million. Mr. Albinson noted that the numbers stated by staff assume no further development within the tax increment financing areas. The numbers also of course assume that the existing property owners do not go delinquent on their property tax payments. Mr. Stock noted that the aforementioned numbers include the most recent rededuction in assessed value granted to Canterbury Downs. Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -6- The second possible finding source identified includes the administrative proceeds generated by the FMG tax increment project. Mr. Stock noted that the administrative proceeds will equate to approximately $60, 000. A closely related funding source would be the HRA fund balance which has a balance of approximately $200, 000. Mr. Stock stated that Council has taken the proceeds generated from the sale of the parking lots behind City Hall ($270, 000) and deposited them in the capital improvement fund balance. There has been some general discussion by Council that these funds should be utilized to replace parking as a result of the mini by-pass. A fifth possible funding source included the small cities development block grant program. Commissioner Miller questioned whether or not any of the tax increment trust fund dollars have been committed to any particular project. Mr. Stock stated that the City has discussed the possibility of using the tax increment trust fund balance for phase II of the downtown redevelopment project and the acquisition of the property south of the Senior High School as well as a future community center. However, he was not aware of any official action that formally designated a portion of the tax increment trust fund dollars to any particular project. Mr. Miller questioned the timing of the major cost items identified in the pre-development plan. Mr. Stock stated that phase II of the downtown redevelopment plan could not be pursued until after completion of the mini by-pass project. If the mini by-pass project is completed in the fall of 1993 , he noted that phase II could occur as early as 1994 . Commissioner Albinson stated that under the current tax increment policy of the City (pay as you go) that no surplus will be added to the fund balance. Mr. Stock stated that this would be true of new tax increment financing projects pursued where a new district is created. However, new development projects that occur within the existing tax increment districts would in fact generate tax increment surplus. Surplus would be generated even though a particular project might not receive City financial assistance. Additionally, Mr. Stock noted that if a new tax increment financing district were created for a particular project that the City could still collect an administrative fee. Mr. Stock stated that if we completed one FMG project every year that we could generate as much as $60, 000 per year in tax increment financing administrative fees. Mr. Stock noted that a portion of the administrative fee would have to be used to offset costs associated with City' s financial advisor and bond counsel. Mr. Mars questioned where the administrative fees collected on tax increment financing projects was deposited. Mr. Stock stated that these administrative fees are deposited in the HRA fund balance. Mr. Miller questioned how the HRA budget is determined. Mr. Stock stated that the HRA has the ability to tax a small amount. The tax dollars collected generally are adequate Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -7- to fund the expenses identified each year in the HRA budget. The City also generates excess dollars by charging administrative fees on tax increment finance projects. Mr. Stock stated that at the present time a small amount of the City Administrator, Assistant City Administrator and Executive Secretary staff time is allocated to the HRA fund. Mr. Mars stated that in previous meetings we discussed the possibility of creating an EDA or a Port Authority. He questioned whether or not either one of these two options could replace an HRA. Mr. Stock stated that to the best of his knowledge an HRA had the broadest set of responsibilities and authority. He was not sure whether or not the creation of an EDA or Port Authority would actually generate additional powers that an HRA does not already have. Mr. Stock stated that creating an EDA or Port Authority would allow for a body to be created that would not be comprised 100% of City Council members. He went on to note however that an HRA technically did not have to include all of the City Council members. Mr. Stock stated that Mr. Albinson discovered at a recent Star Cities conference an individual who is well versed in the difference between an EDA, Port Authority and HRA. Mr. Stock suggested that it might be appropriate to have this person appear at the next CDC meeting to give a brief presentation to the CDC outlining the merits of pursuing an EDA or Port Authority. Mr. Stock stated that he thought that the HRA would not set a special meeting to discuss the recommendation of the Community Development Commission until a date following our officially scheduled November CDC meeting. This would allow the CDC to discuss in greater detail the merits of creating an EDA and/or Port Authority. If upon further analysis the CDC believes it would be beneficial to create an EDA or Port Authority a recommendation could be forwarded to the City Council. Mr. Albinson stated that he liked the concept of an EDA or Port Authority that was comprised of two (2) Council members and five (5) residents. Mr. Albinson stated that he felt and EDA could be self funding in terms of the administrative fees collected in conjunction with projects approved by the EDA and their levy authority. Mr. Albinson stated that he felt the City of Shakopee needed someone who could exclusively dedicate their time to economic development issues. Mr. Miller questioned whether or not their was a difference between hiring a full-time economic development authority director as compared to a housing and redevelopment authority director. Mr. Stock stated that in his opinion there was no difference. Mr. Mars stated that quite a few of the items identified in the pre-development plan will require the property owners to invest in their properties. He questioned the support for these projects. Mr. Stock stated that he felt the first step was to adopt a pre- development plan. City staff could then approach downtown property Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -8- owners in small block meetings to discuss their support for the various items identified in the pre-development plan. Mr. Stock agreed that downtown property owners support was critical but that until such time that Council officially decides to approve something it is difficult to proceed. Commissioner Albinson questioned whether or not their will be adequate time to put together a small cities development grant application to offset costs associated with undergrounding the overhead utility lines in the downtown area. Mr. Stock stated that the grant program would not permit retroactive financing of projects previously completed. Therefore, if Council and SPDC were to pursue undergrounding of the overhead utility lines in 1993, they would not be eligible for grant funding under the small cities development grant program. Mr. Stock suggested that the CDC recommend that the HRA establish a special Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss the pre- development plan. He noted that on November 3rd, City Council did not meet until 8 : 00 p.m. He doubted whether or not there would be adequate time to fully address all the issues associated with the revitalization analysis and pre-development plan. Commissioner Brandmire moved to recommend to the Shakopee HRA that option 2 (maintain the status quo) be adopted. Option 2 for point of clarification recommended that private investment and redevelopment of block 4 be encouraged by the City. Commissioner Brandmire noted that he would like his motion to include the adoption of the pre-development plan and request the HRA to consider hiring a full-time economic development specialist in 1993 . Commissioner Miller seconded the motion. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Phillips stated that he felt that it was important to the City to secure development control of block 4 . Mr. Phillips stated that he liked the elements in the pre-development plan but also supported City acquisition of the property. Chairman Mars stated that with the limited dollars available he felt that it would be in the best interest of the City to pursue permanent public improvement rather than focusing on one particular block. Commissioner Phillips stated that if we are talking about a pre-development plan that will cost approximately $3 million he questioned whether or not another $700, 000 to acquire the block and maintain development control was out of order. Commissioner Albinson stated that he concurred with Commissioner Phillips. He stated that he felt it was important to the City to maintain development control. Commissioner Albinson stated that he did not believe the City being a landlord of the property was a problem. He stated that the property would still generate tax revenue and that if the City were to hire an Economic Development Specialist this person could also be responsible for managing the property. Official Proceedings of the October 21, 1992 Shakopee Community Development Commission Page -9- Commissioner Phillips stated that he felt that the public improvements noted in the pre-development plan would be beneficial but that a major happening needed to take place in the downtown area to really stimulate development. He stated that City control of the property would also alleviate any concerns about signage and serve as a interim solution until a developer could be found. Commissioner Brandmire stated that he agreed to some extent but had a problem utilizing public monies for speculative purposes. He stated that under Mr. Phillips scenario the City would be speculating with property tax dollars in the hopes that a developer would come in and develop the whole block. Mr. Brandmire went on to state that he felt that in the future if a developer comes to the forefront that the City could always go in and acquire the property through the creation of a tax increment district. He stated that it might be true that the property could be more costly at a later date but then you would at least have a guaranteed developer in place. Mr. Miller stated that he wanted to make sure that option #2 simply involved the encouragement by the City for private redevelopment of Block 4 . Mr. Stock stated that option #2 simply involves the encouragement by the City to promote private investment into the rehabilitation of Block 4 . Mr. Miller went on to state that option #2 does not include a masking device to improve the rear sides of the property in Block 4 . Mr. Stock stated that the pre-development plan addresses the City involvement in completing some type of masking device. Motion carried unanimously. Brandmire/Albinson moved to adopt Robert' s Rules of Order as the official parliamentary procedure to be followed by the Community Development Commission. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock reported that the mini by-pass project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1993 . This is a little earlier than what was originally projected. The meeting adjourned at 7 : 10 p.m. Barry A.

ROLL CALL Chrmn. Mars called the meeting to order at 7 : 30 p.m. Roll call was taken as noted above. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Agenda was approved as presented. III. APPROVAL OF OCTOBER 8, 1992, MEETING MINUTES The meeting minutes were approved as presented. IV. RECOGNITION OF INTERESTED CITIZENS Chrmn. Mars recognized anyone in the audience wishing to speak on any item not on the agenda. There was no response. V. PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE FROM REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK AND VARIANCE FROM ACCEPTABLE BUILDING MATERIALS/RAHR MALTING CO. Chrmn. Mars opened the public hearing to consider a variance to the regulations regarding acceptable building materials and a variance from the required front yard setback at 800 W. 1st Avenue. The Assistant Planner stated that their first request is for an 11. 8 foot variance from the 50 foot front yard setback requirement from a minor arterial . There are three railroad spurs in this area of the site. The applicants are requesting this variance in order to construct an extension of the existing railroad load-out building over the southern most railroad spur along the north edge of their property. She went on to say that the proposed structure would be an extension of their existing load-out building. The purpose of these structures is to keep the rail car cleanup process within a confined area and to eliminate the spread of grain Minutes of the Page - 2 Board of Adjustment and Appeals November 5, 1992 residue. They also provide protection from the weather for the workers. The Assistant Planner stated that the applicants are also requesting a variance to section 11. 60, Subd. 5, Acceptable Building Materials. This portion of the City Code was adopted in 1985, and requires that all portions or sides of industrial buildings that abut an existing public right-of-way be constructed of certain types of building materials. It specifies that sheet aluminum, tin, and steel are not acceptable materials. The applicants are proposing to construct the railroad load-out building with a structural steel frame and a colored metal clad enclosure. The Assistant Planner stated the existing load-out building exterior is covered with galvanized steel. The existing kiln building is covered with off-white steel panels. The material proposed for the extension of the load-out building is the same material and color as that used for the existing kiln building. She went on to say that staff feels that bringing the existing load-out building materials into compliance with the proposed structure, as well as additional landscaping in this area, should be considered. However, due to the rail road spurs, much of the area to the north of this portion of the site is within the highway easement. Staff has contacted the Minnesota Department of Transportation regarding the approval process required in order to plant trees within this easement. She stated that staff has been contacted by Dan Hennes of Rahr Malting regarding the conditions recommended in the staff report. He stated that Rahr Malting Co. would like to construct the proposed rail load-out building next spring. However, due to budget constraints, they may not be financially able to replace the building materials on the existing load-out building until either next fall, or the spring of 1994 . He requested that Condition No. 2 be revised to allow them until June 1st of 1994 to complete these improvements. The Assistant Planner stated that staff is recommending approval of the application for both the 11. 8 foot variance from the required 50 foot front yard setback, and approval of the variance to the required building materials, subject to the following conditions: 1. One major deciduous tree shall be planted every 50 feet along the Rahr site frontage to Hwy. 169 in accordance with section 11. 60, Subd. 7 of the City Code. Minutes of the Page - 3 Board of Adjustment and Appeals November 5, 1992 2 . The exterior building material for the existing railroad load-out building shall be replaced with the same off-white enamel steel clad material used for the proposed load-out building by June 1, 1994 . Chrmn. Mars asked if there were any questions of staff. Comm. Spurrier asked where the deciduous trees were proposed to be planted. The Assistant Planner stated that she was not sure exactly how much of the site is within the easement of TH 169 due to the railroad property north of Rahr. Comm. Spurrier expressed concern about the trucks using 3rd Avenue. He stated the trucks continue to come from the east and the intersections that the trucks cross, particularly at Apgar and Shumway, are not graded to be safe for heavy commercial vehicles. Discussion was held about the requirement to plant 1 tree every 50 feet. The City Planner stated that in order to meet the requirement of 1 tree every 50 feet it may be required that some trees be planted within the MNDOT right-of-way. The Assistant Planner stated that they did not know at this time if MNDOT would allow trees to be planted within their easement and that there is an approval process required in order to do so. Chrmn. Mars asked that Daniel Hennes, representing Rahr Malting Co. , come forward for questioning from the Commissioners. Daniel Hennes, Rahr Malting Co. Plant Manager, stated that they have discussed the truck issue with the City Council and that those roads are built to hold the weight of their trucks. Mr. Hennes stated that they would be willing to plant 1 tree every 50 feet along the north edge of their property. He also stated that the extra siding on the existing shed would cost anywhere from $27, 000 to $30, 000. He stated that was an expense they do not wish to undertake at this time and they would like to defer that extra cost at least until June of 1994 . Chrmn. Mars asked if there were any questions of the applicant from the Commissioners. Minutes of the Pap - 4 Board of Adjustment and Appeals November 5, 1992 Chrmn. Mars asked if the exterior of Kiln #3 was baked enamel on top of tin. Mr. Hennes stated that it was. Chrmn. Mars asked if Kiln #3 has held up well for quite some time. Mr. Hennes stated that it has. Chrmn. Mars asked if it has ever been repainted. Mr. Hennes stated that it has not. Chrmn. Mars asked how long the building has been standing. Mr. Hennes answered that it has been standing at least ten years. Chrmn. Mars asked if the new structure would be built out of this, and with a completion date of June 1, 1994, would the existing rail shed be completed in this fashion. Mr. Hennes answered yes, that he thought they could. Chrmn. Mars asked if the product could be painted and would it hold. Rod Jacobson of J-Sons Inc. , working as the design engineers for Rahr Malting Co. , stated that it is a manufactured type paneling that goes on most steel buildings. He stated that it will fade over time, but that they have some buildings that have been up for approximately 25 years and still have a pleasing appearance. Chrmn. Mars asked if there were any further questions of the design engineer or of the applicant. There was no response. Chrmn. Mars asked for comments from the audience. There were none. Motion: Joos/Christensen moved to close the public hearing. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to adopt Resolution No. PC-648. A resolution approving an 11.8 foot variance to the 50 foot minimum front yard setback requirement from a minor arterial and a variance to section 11. 60, Subd. 5 Acceptable Building Materials, subject to the conditions recommended by staff, and move its adoption. Minutes of the Page - 5 Board of Adjustment and Appeals November 5, 1992 Comm. Zak stated that he didn't think the deciduous trees should be a part of it since they would need to be planted on MNDOT property and they could not impose any conditions on this. The Assistant Planner stated that some of the property along the northern property lines could be landscaped with 1 tree every 50 feet. However, some of the area is MNDOT property. The Assistant Planner stated that this condition would require them to plant 1 tree every 50 feet on their property, and if through the permitting process landscaping is approved, they could be planted on the easement, but that they could not know if this would be approved at this time. Comm. Zak stated that he wanted to make sure that they weren't imposing something on them that they would not be able to comply with. Comm. Spurrier asked if Rahr was agreeing to plant those trees whether or not it was a condition of this variance. Mr. Daniel Hennes of Rahr Malting Co. stated that they would. Comm. Christensen stated that she did not feel that it was necessary to make it a special condition when there already is an ordinance on the books requiring them to do so. Mr. Hennes stated that they would put the trees wherever they can. Chrmn. Mars asked if they would also plant trees on MNDOT property if that was asked of them. Mr. Hennes said they would. Comm. Joos stated that it was the understanding of staff that the only reason that the condition is there is in the hopes that they will go through the permitting process to receive approval to landscape the MNDOT property so that there will be continuity along the boulevard. The Assistant Planner stated that is what they would like, but due to the topography of the property it might not be possible. Discussion was held on the building material requirements and recommended Condition No. 1. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to amend her motion to include the date "June 1, 1994", at the end of condition No. 2 . Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Minutes of the Page - 6 Board of Adjustment and Appeals November 5, 1992 Chrmn. Mars informed the audience of the 7-day appeal period whereby the decision of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals may be appealed to the City Council. VI. PUBLIC HEARING: VARIANCE TO FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE/DAIRY QUEEN Chrmn. Mars opened the public hearing to consider a variance from the required front yard setback in order to add onto a nonconforming structure at 835 W. 1st Avenue. Chrmn. Mars stated that on the table was a withdrawal notice from the applicant. The Assistant Planner stated the action requested is to offer a motion to accept the withdrawal of the application and move its approval. Motion: Spurrier/Joos moved to close the public hearing. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Motion: Joos/Zak moved to accept the withdrawal. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. VII. OTHER BUSINESS Chrmn. Mars stated that there was a memorandum on the table from Karen Marty, City Attorney, requesting that the Board of Adjustment and Appeals formally adopt Robert ' s Rules of Order. Discussion was held on whether or not to vote on the adoption of Robert' s Rules of Order. Chrmn. Mars exercised his executive power and adopted and accepted Robert' s Rules of Order as the way of functioning for the Shakopee Board of Adjustment and Appeals.

Joos recognized anyone in the audience wishing to speak on any item not on the agenda. There was no response. V. REVIEW: ONE WAY SWEEPING, INC.- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The City Planner stated that back in May of 1991 the Planning Commission granted Conditional Use Permit No. 608 to One Way Sweeping, Inc. to allow the outdoor storage and stock piling of street sweepings. The City Planner stated that the owners have not completed all the necessary site improvements to permit the use of the Conditional Use Permit at the site. The City Planner stated that an inspection of the property was made that morning and certain requirements have not been completed. Some of those requirements include the fencing, the berm, and other improvements to the berm. He stated that part of the reason for the delay is the inclement weather that we 've recently been having. The City Planner stated that the action requested is to offer a motion to table the review of Conditional Use Permit No. 608 to the December 3 , 1992 , meeting. Minutes of the Page - 2 Shakopee Planning Commission November 5, 1992 Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any questions of the City Planner. Comm. Mars asked if the clay barrier liner was installed at a specific depth below the surface and if this was a standard depth. The City Planner stated that it was his understanding that the liner had been installed and that the applicant was present to describe their improvements to the site. Comm. Mars asked if the liner had to be approved by Scott County. The City Planner stated that he did not believe the liner was part of the review by Scott County. The Assistant Planner stated that she contacted Scott County, and they informed her that if the applicants are in compliance with all the conditions that were placed on the Conditional Use Permit, there would be no further permits or approvals required by them. Comm. Spurrier stated that one of the conditions related to complaints the City received regarding the site. He asked if there have been any complaints other than those generated by the request for the original permit. The City Planner stated that since the time of the approval of the Conditional Use Permit, it is his understanding that no additional complaints have been received. The City Planner asked if the Assistant Planner was aware of any additional complaints. The Assistant Planner stated that she was not. Comm. Mars asked if a review of a Conditional Use Permit that hasn't been used for a year must be reviewed. The City Planner stated that the ordinance requires that Conditional Use Permits be utilized within one year. He stated there are various things that can trigger the use of a Conditional Use Permit. One would be the approval of building permits. He stated that the applicants have applied for a permit for the fence and a grading permit. He stated they began construction on the facility, but have not followed through with the completion of the improvements. The City Planner stated that the City has had experience with projects that have gotten started, but haven't been completed. He stated that staff tries to work with the property owners to Minutes of the page - 3 Shakopee Planning Commission November 5, 1992 help encourage them to bring properties into compliance with the Conditional Use Permit, the Zoning Ordinance, or the building code, whatever it is that would apply. He stated if things do not develop within a reasonable amount of time and provisions have been provided for an applicant to comply with the conditions of the permit, the Planning Commission has the authority to recommend to the City Council that the Conditional Use Permit be revoked. He stated that the review of this particular project has been postponed due to the fact that the improvements have not been completed. Chrmn. Joos asked if the applicant would like to step forward and speak on the issue. Robert Larson, 7215 W. 128th St. in Savage, stepped forward. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any questions of the applicant from the Commissioners. Comm. Zak asked what kind of materials were going to be stored on the site. Mr. Larson replied that the materials are sweepings from parking lots, including paper, sand, bottles, cans, human hair, and small rocks. The things that people throw out their windows that do not end up in trash cans. Comm. Zak asked why it wouldn't go directly into a landfill. Mr. Larson replied that under the guidelines for landfills, they cannot accept street sweepings. He stated it would be like filling a landfill with dirt. Comm. Christensen asked what ultimately happens to the materials. Mr. Larson stated that the procedure they have followed in Savage over the last four years is to stock pile the materials and later screen it. From that point the bottles, paper, and glass go to the landfill. They use the dirt, for fill, such as for the building of the berm. He stated that's one of the delays they had is that they have had to use the materials that they had screened, rather than to purchase dirt. He stated that the design of the site is new in the sweeping industry. Not all sweeping companies are adhering to these recent guidelines. Chrmn. Joos asked what kind of time frame they were looking at. He reminded Mr. Larson that they have a one year time Minutes of the RIP - 4 Shakopee Planning Commission November 5, 1992 frame in which to use the permit and that after one year it becomes void. Mr. Larson stated that's why they were there - so they didn't get their permit pulled from them. He stated they wanted to keep the Planning Commission updated as to where they were with the project. Mr. Larson stated he believed there was about 27 acres there and that they have secured it with security posts and gates to cut down on traffic. In the past, people have been depositing refrigerators and garbage on the site. He stated that the berm is about 80% done. He stated they still need to meet some additional sloping requirements. He stated the clay liner has been installed and to his knowledge there was not a depth requirement. He stated he believed it was buried six inches deep. He stated the liner is in, the front gates are in, but the fence is not up. He stated that the project is about 80% complete. Comm. Mars asked where their current sweepings are stored. He asked if they have a facility in Savage. Mr. Larson stated that was correct. He stated it is located at 7215 W. 128th St. Comm. Spurrier asked where the provision is regarding the time frame requirements for conditional use permits. The City Planner stated that this requirement is in Section 11. 04 , under Administration of Conditional Use Permits. Comm. Joos asked if there were any other questions. There was no response. Comm. Christensen questioned why staff was recommending they table the review for a month. She asked if the applicants were going to complete the fence. Mr. Larson stated that stock piling at their Savage site will probably be terminated within 60 days so they have to have their site ready for their use within the next 60 days. That is why they are pushing to get it done. At the same time, they wanted to make the Planning Commission aware they are about 80% completed with the improvements to the project right now. Chrmn. Joos asked if it would be possible to table the review until they were ready to use the permit. The City Planner stated that part of the reason for the time frame is to keep projects advancing. He stated the Planning Minutes of the RaP - 5 Shakopee Planning Commission November 5, 1992 Commission can certainly set the time frame for the next review of the permit. Comm. Mars asked if they will be moving their screener to the Shakopee location. Mr. Larson stated that was correct. He also stated they can't screen after certain hours and they have to screen a number of times each year. He stated they were aware of the conditions set forth in the permit. Comm. Christensen asked if it would be more appropriate to table the review for 60 days and asked the date of the next scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Chrmn. Joos answered that the next regular Planning Commission meeting would be held on January 7th. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to table the review of Conditional Use Permit No. 608 to January 7, 1993 . Vote: Motion carried unanimously. VI. OTHER BUSINESS - ADOPTION OF ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER Discussion was held on the adoption of Robert's Rules of Order. Motion: Mars/Christensen moved that the Planning Commission adopt Robert's Rules of Order. Discussion was held regarding the need for voting on the adoption of Robert's Rules of Order. Vote: Motion carried 5 to 2 with Commissioners Zak and Spurrier voting against the motion. VII.

Harold & Mary Johnson 27-004122-0 (Page 13) As I also indicated at the public hearing, several of these properties had been allowed to originally install their services based on the understanding that these were private services and that they would pay for main line sewer when it became available. If the City Council wishes to make a policy change in regards to the sewer assessments on these properties, this item could be added to the November 17th City Council item as other business. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL REG. ADJ.

Beard/Lynch moved to approve the minutes of October 6th and 9th, 1992 (Motion carried under consent business. ) Jim McCarthy, representative for the MN. Thoroughbred Association requested to hold a raffle of some sort to raise money. Cncl. Lynch questioned the fact of using most of these profits in the City of Shakopee. Judy Cox informed the Council that they had to use 75% of all earnings in Shakopee. Mr. McCarthy stated that he would like to have a raffle at Canterbury Downs and not have to spend the required percentage in Shakopee. Mayor Laurent asked that Ms. Marty find a way to make the Thoroughbred Association an exception to the rule. McCarthy stated they were going to raffle off a snowmobile and water craft from Polaris. Mr. McCarthy explained that they expected to raise approximately $10-20, 000 net. Vierling/Beard moved to direct staff to figure out a way to allow raffles in Shakopee and the expenditure of profits outside of the community. Motion carried with Sweeney opposing. Mayor Laurent had a request from Dave Kaufenberg that items 12a and 12b (regarding Valley Ice Arena) be handled early in the meeting. Mr. Stock addressed the draft of the Valley Ice Arena request for proposals and asked for comments from Council. Official Proceedings of the October 20, 1992 Shakopee City Council Page -2- Sweeney/Lynch moved to authorize the appropriate City officials to solicit proposals for a market and operational analysis of the Valley Ice Arena in Shakopee. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stock informed Council that in order for the City of Shakopee to cover the Valley Ice Arena under its insurance they must first own the property. The insurance company stated that there would have to be some cleaning up and that the City's premium would probably increase. Cncl. Sweeney suggested getting rid of the bubble, but Mr. Dave Kaufenberg stated he feels it is protecting the coil system. Ms. Marty explained that if the lease between the City of Shakopee and Valley Ice Arena, Inc. remains in place, Valley Ice Arena, Inc. has liability for the property. Mr. Kaufenberg explained that the insurance company has reclassified the property and the insurance cost has been reduced to approximately $1, 000. 00 and that they do plan to pay it. Mayor Laurent opened the public hearing on the vacation of drainage and utility easement within Canterbury Park 1st Addition. Mr. Ekola explained that the applicant is requesting the vacation of 20 foot drainage and utility easements along the inter lot lines of Lots 2 and 3 , and Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Canterbury Park 1st Addition. Mayor Laurent asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak. There was no response. Sweeney/Vierling offered Resolution No. 3680, A Resolution Vacating the Drainage and Utility Easements Along the Interior Lot Lines Between Lots 2 and 3 , and Between Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Canterbury Park 1st Addition, and moved its adoption. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Laurent opened the public hearing on the vacation of Minnesota Street North of the alley north of 7th Avenue. It was suggested that the discussion on the Milwaukee Manor Planned Unit Development and the rezoning request also be discussed at this time. Mr. Ekola stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Preliminary PUD Milwaukee Manor. He said staff likes the (PUD) idea, however, he is bothered by the lack of information, such as, landscaping plans, building evaluations, architectural plans, etc. Staff has two concerns relating to public versus private streets: 1) on street parking and 2) snow storage. The Planning Commission recommended going with private streets for Milwaukee Court and Milwaukee Lane. Mr. Menke stated that he is not satisfied with all of the conditions placed in the preliminary approval, such as, the private streets. Mr. Menke explained his rationale for public streets and his engineer, Mr. Al Nuhn, Otto Associates, concurred with him. Cncl. Lynch stated that they did not have enough information to continue discussing the PUD project. Official Proceedings of the October 20, 1992 Shakopee City Council Page -3- Sweeney/Vierling moved to table the Preliminary PUD for Milwaukee Manor and referred it to the Planning Commission. Mr. Menke stated that he had a traffic test done. The majority of the Council likes the PUD concept Mr. Menke is proposing but conditions of approval are necessary because additional information is needed. Motion carried with Mr. Beard dissenting. Mayor Laurent asked the audience if anyone had any comments on the vacation of part of Minnesota Street. There was no response. Ms. Marty suggested continuing the hearing to November 17th, after the Planning Commission meeting. Sweeney/Lynch moved to continue the public hearing on the vacation of Minnesota Street North of the alley North of 7th Avenue until November 17 . Motion carried unanimously.

Beard/Lynch moved to delete mineral extraction from the agricultural land use areas in the text of the draft 1990 Comprehensive Plan and delete the gravel pit designation from the Rural Land Use Plan and replace it with the agricultural land use designation. (Approved unanimously under consent business. ) Mr. Ekola explained the request by Ladbroke Company to amend the Racetrack District regulations in order to allow additional commercial uses in this zoning district. He stated that staff agreed with all uses except for concerts and entertainment. Ms. Marty suggested they amend Section 11. 36 relating to the race track district to allow the storage of boats and recreational vehicles - both interior and exterior; antique, craft, flea and bargain markets; and, products shows for cars, boats and home as accessory uses for a licensed Class A race track as opposed to permitted uses within the Racetrack District. Sweeney/Vierling offered Ordinance No. 342 , An Ordinance of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, Amending City Code Sec. 11. .36, Racetrack District (RTD) , by Repealing Subd. 2 , Uses permitted by Planned Unit Development (PUD) , and Adopting a New Subd 2 Relating to the Same Subject, as Recommended by the City Attorney, and moved its adoption. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rick Reichow, Chief Financial Officer, Canterbury Downs, explained that he brought in the letter of credit today (for the agreement between Ladbroke and the HRA reducing the assessor's market value of the racetrack) . He explained that the County Assessor made a call to the State which raised a question as to whether or not the agreement can be consummated. He explained that he did not leave the letter of credit with Mr. Stock, that he has Official Proceedings of the October 20, 1992 Shakopee City Council Page -4- it with him tonight and that before he leaves it with the City Council, he would like some assurance that if the agreement can not be complied with that the $3 , 000, 000 letter of credit be returned. Discussion followed on how to provide Mr. Reichow with assurance that the letter of credit would be returned if the agreement can not be complied with. Beard/Vierling moved to recommend to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority that they consider amending the payment and assurance security agreement with Ladbroke to include a provision that if it was determined that there was a problem that they would return the letter of credit to Ladbroke. Mayor Laurent recessed the City Council so that the City Attorney could research whether or not an emergency meeting of the HRA could be called to act on the matter under discussion. Mayor Laurent re-convened the meeting at 9 : 10 P.M. Ms. Marty informed the City Council that under the statutes, the HRA could hold an emergency meeting as long as they make a good faith effort to provide notice to the media and the call finds that circumstances in the judgement of the public body require immediate consideration. She said that if Council wished to recess and hold an emergency HRA meeting that it would be fine under the statute. Beard/Vierling withdrew their motion. Mayor Laurent recessed the City Council for an emergency meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Mayor Laurent re-convened the meeting at 9 : 33 P.M. Ginger O'Brien, Intra Design, discussed the bids for the furnishings for the new City Hall. She recommended awarding the bid to P.M. Johnson, Inc. She explained the two alternatives available for the reception area furniture. After discussion, Council decided to go with a modification of Alternative #2 to include four chairs and an end table.

The City Council opened the public hearing on September 15, 1992 , to consider this vacation request. The public hearing was continued to the November 17, 1992, meeting. BACKGROUND: The proposed vacation is part of the applicant's Planned Unit Development (PUD) , Milwaukee Manor. At the November 3 , 1992, meeting, the City Council approved the preliminary development plan for this PUD, subject to 17 conditions. A final development plan has been submitted by the applicant and will need to be approved by the City Council. Attached is a copy of the October 9, 1992 , staff report to the City Council on the proposed vacation for reference purposes. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Vacate the portion of Minnesota Street north of the alley between Block 309 and Block 314 of Wemerskirchen's Addition, subject to the recording of the final plat for the Planned Unit Development proposed by Mr. Menke. 2 . Do not vacate the portion of Minnesota Street north of the alley between Block 309 and Block 314 of Wemerskirchen's Addition. 3 . Continue the public hearing to allow staff or the applicant to provide additional information. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the vacation of the portion of Minnesota Street north of the alley between Block 309 and Block 314 of Wemerskirchen's Addition, subject to the recording of the final plat of Phase 3 for the Planned Unit Development proposed by Mr. Menke. If the Menke proposal is not approved, the vacation should not take place. It could be reconsidered at a future date. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer a motion to support the future vacation of the portion of Minnesota Street north of the alley between Block 309 and Block 314 of Wermerskirchen' s Addition, subject to the approval of the final plat for Phase 3 of the proposed Planned Unit Development for Milwaukee Manor and the City retaining a 20 foot wide public drainage and utility easement for the existing water main in the Minnesota street right-of-way proposed for vacation, and move its adoption. MEMO TO: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Terrie Sandbeck, Assistant City Planner RE: Vacation of Minnesota Street North of 7th Avenue DATE: October 9, 1992 INTRODUCTION: City Staff has received a petition from LeRoy Menke to vacate the portion of Minnesota Street north of the alley located north of 7th Avenue, and south of the abandoned railroad line. The City Council opened the public hearing to consider this vacation request at their meeting on September 15, 1992 , and continued the public hearing to the October 20, 1992, meeting of the City Council. At their October 8 , 1992 , meeting, the Shakopee Planning Commission recommended that the proposed vacation be approved, subject to three conditions. BACKGROUND: The Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Milwaukee Manor is being proposed concurrent with the proposed vacation. A request to rezone the PUD site to Mid-Density Residential (R-3) from Multi- family Residential (R-4) and Urban Residential (R-2) is also on the October 20th City Council agenda. The City Council may want to review the staff reports regarding the proposed Milwaukee Manor PUD and the rezoning proposal for this proposed development in conjunction with this application for the vacation of Minnesota Street. DISCUSSION: The grid system of streets in the urban Shakopee area has generally been constructed in a consistent pattern to allow for an efficient transportation network. There are a few areas where the grid pattern is broken, including the area bounded by 4th Avenue, Market Street, 7th Avenue, and C.R. 17 . The proposed Menke Planned Unit Development (PUD) is located within this area. Promoting a safe and efficient public street system is one of the goals established in the transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan. Continuation of the existing grid system in the urban area will generally help promote a desired transportation system. There are four alternatives for developing the future local street patterns in this area. They are as follows: 1. Extend both Minnesota and Dakota Streets from 4th Avenue to 7th Avenue. 2 . Extend Dakota Street only and retain the cul-de-sac street for Minnesota Street. 3 . Extend Minnesota Street only and require the developer to install a cul-de-sac on Dakota Street. 4 . Do not extend either street through from 4th Avenue to 7th Avenue. Exhibit C illustrates the draft 1990 transportation plan for the urban area of Shakopee and the street functional classification system (arterial, collector, and local streets) . With the opening of a railroad crossing at Market Street, and the reconstruction of Market Street to 10th Avenue, staff would recommend that Market Street be designated as a collector street. It should be noted that the 1980 transportation plan designated Market Street as a collector street. Exhibit D is a copy of the 1980 transportation plan. In both the adopted 1980 and draft 1990 Comprehensive Plans, Minnesota and Dakota Streets south of 4th Avenue have been classified as local streets. As shown on Exhibit B, the rights-of-way for Dakota Street were extended north of 7th Avenue for the purpose of future connections. A cul-de-sac bulb has been constructed on Minnesota Street, whereas Dakota Street does not have a cul-de-sac. Both streets exceed the 500 foot cul-de-sac length limit in the urban area (Minnesota Street - 600 feet and Dakota Street - 850 feet) . Will the connection of public streets create traffic problems in areas already developed? The Comprehensive Plan designates a range of traffic volume capacities that should be attributed to each street type. The following table identifies those volumes in average daily trips (ADT) : STREET TYPE URBAN AREA Principal Arterial 12 , 000 - 24, 000 Minor Arterial 5, 000 - 12, 000 Collector 1, 000 - 5, 000 Local Up to 1, 000 Exhibit E is a copy of the area traffic volume counts. Market Street and Spencer Street are two north - south collector streets between the downtown area and C.R. 17 . These streets provide a connection from 1st Avenue to 10th Avenue. Their volumes just exceed 1, 000 trips per day. Currently Minnesota Street provides access from 1st Avenue to 4th Avenue by crossing the railroad line within 2nd Avenue. With the designation of Market Street as a collector street, the opening of Minnesota Street may diminish Market Street' s role as a collector, especially since the two streets are one block apart. The developer of the PUD is proposing to extend Dakota Street and not extend Minnesota Street in this area. This alternative would not result in access from 1st to 10th Avenue since there is no railroad crossing in Dakota Street alignment. Please refer to the staff report for the proposed Planned Unit Development for Milwaukee Manor for information on the proposed street layout. Based on this discussion, staff would recommend approval of the proposed vacation for the small portion of Minnesota Street with the proposed PUD development. As proposed with this PUD, the Minnesota Street right-of-way would no longer provide a public benefit. Although the Shakopee Planning Commission was informed that it was staff ' s opinion that with the construction of this proposed development, traffic volumes on Dakota Street would not exceed the volumes established for local streets in the Comprehensive Plan (up to 1, 000 trips per day) , the Planning Commission requested that a traffic analysis be performed in order to obtain a more accurate estimation of the potential impact of traffic on the surrounding neighborhoods. A traffic analysis was prepared by Strgar-Roscoe- Fausch, Inc. for the proposed PUD. Results from the traffic analysis indicate that if the proposed PUD development is constructed as proposed and Dakota Street is constructed as a through street, the number of vehicles traveling north on Dakota Street would average approximately 620 trips per day, while the number of vehicles traveling south would average 222 trips per day. The developer has proposed that this PUD will be constructed in three phases. The area west of Dakota Street would be developed in the last phase. The estimated construction date for Phase 3 is 1996. Since the proposed vacation is necessary for the PUD, but not required until Phase 3 develops, the Planning Commission has recommended that the vacation be approved concurrent with the approval of the final PUD plan, but not recorded until approval of the final plat for the lots within Phase 3 is received from the City Council. This would allow Minnesota Street to be constructed if Phase 3 does not develop and is needed for another development proposal. A water main has been constructed in the area within the dedicated portion of Minnesota Street.

The applicant is proposing to rezone the site to Mid-Density Residential (R-3) . The northeast portion of the subject site is currently zoned Multi- family residential (R-4) , and the remainder of the site is currently zoned Urban Residential (R-2) . BACKGROUND: The proposed rezoning is part of the applicant's Planned Unit Development (PUD) , Milwaukee Manor. At the November 3, 1992, meeting, the City Council approved the preliminary development plan for this PUD, subject to 17 conditions. A final development plan has been submitted by the applicant and will need to be approved by the City Council. Attached is a copy of the October 9, 1992 , staff report to the City Council on the proposed rezoning for reference purposes. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Rezone the subject site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential) to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) , except for the northwest portion of the site, west of a line drawn south of the western boundary of Macey 2nd Addition. This area would remain in the R-2 district (Urban Residential) . 2 . Rezone the entire subject site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential) to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) . 3 . Do not rezone the subject site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential) , to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) . Leave the zoning as it currently exists. 4 . Table the decision until after a recommendation on the proposed vacation and preliminary PUD have been made for the proposal by the Planning Commission. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends Alternative #1. (See Exhibit I in the attached Staff Report dated October 9 , 1992 . ) Allowing the triangular shaped section in the northwest portion of the subject site to remain zoned R-2 (Urban Residential) will provide a more even zoning line for the zoning district. The rezoning of this property will encourage the development of the vacant undeveloped properties along the railroad line. A greater variety of housing types could be provided to the residents of Shakopee if the property were rezoned as the Planning Commission has recommended. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Ordinance No. 347 , An Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map to Rezone an 8 . 75 acre site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R- 2 (Urban Residential) to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) .

MEMO TO: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Terrie Sandbeck, Assistant City Planner RE: Application for Rezoning from Multi-Family Residential (R-4) and Urban Residential (R-2) to Mid-Density Residential (R-3) DATE: October 9 , 1992 INTRODUCTION: Mr. LeRoy Menke has requested the rezoning of 9 . 6 acres of property located along Dakota Street, south of 4th Avenue. The applicant is proposing to rezone the site to Mid-Density Residential (R-3) . The northeast portion of the subject site is currently zoned Multi- family residential (R-4) , and the remainder of the site is currently zoned Urban Residential (R-2) . Please refer to Exhibit A. The application from Mr. Menke requesting the rezoning of this property was submitted on May 29, 1992, and the public hearing for the rezoning proposal was originally scheduled for the July 9, 1992 , meeting of the Planning Commission. However, on June 29, 1992 , the applicant submitted a written request that the public hearing regarding this proposal be continued to the August 6, 1992, meeting of the Planning Commission. He stated in this request that more property had been acquired and the additional property would also be included in the rezoning request. At their meeting on August 6th, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning of the majority of the subject site. BACKGROUND: Along with this rezoning request, the applicant is proposing a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a residential development on the subject site. This proposal was introduced to the Planning Commission at their August 6, 1992 , meeting. At their September 3 , 1992 , meeting, the Planning Commission tabled their recommendation regarding the preliminary PUD, as well as their recommendation regarding the vacation of a portion of Minnesota Street, to their October 8 , 1992 , meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of both the preliminary Planned Unit Development for Milwaukee Manor and the vacation of a portion of Minnesota Street at their October meeting. The following is a list of approvals that the applicant will need to receive from the City Council for the proposed project: 1. Rezoning from R-2 and R-4 to R-3 . 2 . Vacation of a portion of Minnesota Street. 3 . Preliminary PUD. 4 . Final PUD. 5. Preliminary plat. 6. Final plat(s) . In order to present this complex development in a more comprehensive manner, staff felt it was important to present the proposed rezoning, vacation, and preliminary PUD at the same City Council meeting. Since the Planning Commission's recommendations regarding the vacation and the preliminary PUD were tabled to their October meeting, staff delayed placing the rezoning application on the City Council agenda until these recommendations had been made. During discussions on the rezoning request, the Planning Commission requested additional information on how the rezoning request relates to the Comprehensive Plan, and additional information for the area bordered by 10th Avenue on the south, T.H. 169 and 101 on the west and the north, and Marschall Road to the east. The information items requested include land use, transportation, utilities, and pedestrian facilities. Land Use Within the designed study are or core City area, there are five general land uses including the following: 1. Downtown - retail, office, multi-family residential. 2 . Institutional area - institutional, office, mixed residential. 3 . Core residential neighborhoods - primarily single family residential. 4 . First Avenue corridor - retail, mixed residential. 5. Marschall Road corridor - retail, multi family residential. Exhibit B is a copy of the approved land use plan from the draft Comprehensive Plan. The plan illustrates the locations of these five general land uses in the core City area. The downtown is surrounded by the institutional area which is then surrounded by the core residential neighborhoods. Along the major streets, First Avenue and Marschall Road, are various commercial and multi-family residential land uses. Transportation The draft Comprehensive Plan has established a system for classifying streets within the core City area. Exhibit C is a copy of the transportation plan from the approved draft Comprehensive Plan. Four street types (Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Collector and Local) were designated throughout the core area. The intent of classifying streets into these four types - also known as the street functional classification system - is to create a safe and efficient street system. Each street type serves a defined purpose and is designed accordingly. Several characteristics such as traffic volume, traffic speed, right-of-way and street widths, spacings and several other characteristics are developed for each street type. Exhibit D lists these characteristics in more detail. By comparing the land use and transportation plans a relationship between the two systems can be established. More active or intense land uses (commercial, multi-family residential, etc. ) tend to occur closer to the busier streets. Less intense land uses (single family residential) tend to be located away from streets with higher traffic volumes. Utilities A majority of the core City area is currently served by public water and sewer facilities. There are a few properties which have onsite water and/or sewer but are being connected as redevelopment or street reconstruction occurs. Exhibit E is a copy of the approved sewer plan from the draft Comprehensive Plan. The City has hired a consultant to prepare a detailed sewer plan. This plan will provide greater detail on sewer services in the core area as well as City wide. The basic sewer system is in place in the core area. Connections to the existing lines will be required for future development. Shakopee Public Utilities Commission (SPUC) administers the water and electric utilities. Similar to sewer services, SPUC is providing connections with water as redevelopment occurs. Pedestrian Facilities The draft Comprehensive Plan provided a park and trail plan for the urban core area. (See Exhibit F) . This plan shows the location of City parks, schools, and trails (existing and proposed) . Over the past six months staff has been developing the Citywide Sidewalk and Trail Plan. This plan is building from the previous Comprehensive Plan effort. In response to various discussions by the Planning Commission, staff has developed a plan providing a more extensive network of sidewalks and trails including the core City area where the greatest amount of pedestrian activities occur. The sidewalk and trail plans have been developed in conjunction with the land use and transportation plans. Housing Several goals and policies were developed in the draft Comprehensive Plan relating to housing. Four goals listed in the housing element include: o Promote safe, decent housing in a suitable living environment at a reasonable cost for all families and individuals. o Preserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods by encouraging housing maintenance and rehabilitation. o Increase housing opportunities available to low and moderate income households. o Provide a variety of housing types which will meet the needs of City residents. One of the major tasks identified in the Comprehensive Plan is to prepare the Zoning Ordinance update. Staff has incorporated into the 1993 budget a proposal to hire a consultant to assist in this effort. The updated Zoning Ordinance will be critical in preserving and promoting quality housing throughout the City. Several other area studies or specific plans are being proposed in the upcoming budgets which will provide further guidance to the development of quality housing in the City. Staff will continue to advocate the preparation of these planning efforts in the future. DISCUSSION: Between the commercial districts along First Avenue and Marschall Road and the core R-2 zoned areas are the Mid-Density Residential (R-3) and Multi Family Residential (R-4) districts. The R-3 and R- 4 zoned areas tend to be located between the downtown and Marschall Road. There is also a large area zoned R-4 east of Marschall Road. The applicant's site is located between the downtown and the Marschall Road corridor. The site is currently vacant and is bisected by the former Chicago Milwaukee Railroad. North of the railroad there is a mix of single family and multi family uses (1 to 8 dwelling units per lot) . Only where lots have been consolidated into larger parcels or originally platted into larger lots have multi family units been constructed. Generally the multi family projects do not exceed 6 to 8 dwelling units within a structure. There are 56 dwelling units in the Clifton Apartments adjacent to the north edge of the proposed site. On the east side of the site is the City's Public Works yard. This parcel is zoned B-2 , Community Commercial. To the west is single family residential zoned R-2. The existing land uses south of the abandoned railroad line are primarily single family residential uses. The R-2 zoning district allows duplexes, provided the lot is of adequate width (70 feet) and area (11, 000 square feet) . There are some duplexes in the area south of the railroad line. Exhibit G locates the subject site on the land use plan from the draft Comprehensive Plan. The proposed land uses in the subject site include multi family residential, mid-density residential and single family residential. As shown on the land use plan the railroad line was envisioned as a divider of area land uses. The development of properties along the railroad line was not analyzed in detail at the Comprehensive Plan level. Instead, the effort was aimed at a more general or City wide level. The development of the applicant' s site, (with respect to the surface bedrock, triangular shaped parcels, and lack of through streets) was not addressed specifically in the 1990 draft plan. The applicant is proposing to develop a planned unit development (PUD) consisting of 57 dwelling units. The applicant is requesting that the assembled property be rezoned from R-4 and R-2 to the R-3 , Mid-Density Residential District. The R-3 zoning district regulations would allow single family, duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes as permitted uses. Rezoning the assembled property would provide one uniform zoning district over the applicant' s site. The proposed zoning is shown on Exhibit H. As proposed, the R-3 zoning would be adjacent to R-4 and B-2 zoning on the east and north and R-2 zoning on the south and west. Promoting a variety of housing types and to provide a greater opportunity for residential development are two goals of the City which are identified in the draft Comprehensive Plan. This rezoning proposal can help meet these goals. FINDINGS: Section 11 . 04 , Subd. 7 of the City Code states that amendments changing the boundaries or regulations of any existing district shall not be issued indiscriminately, but shall be based on findings or criteria including, but not limited, the criteria listed below: Criteria #1 The original zoning ordinance was in error. Finding #1 The zoning ordinance has not been found to be in error. Criteria #2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place. Finding #2 The goals and policies for the R-2, R-3, and R-4 Zoning Districts within the City of Shakopee have not changed. Criteria #3 Significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have occurred. Finding #3 Significant changes in development patterns have occurred due to the changes in the transportation system. The railroad line no longer bisects this area of the City and Marschall Road has become a major street since the original residential zoning was put in place. Fourth Avenue now serves as a collector street. Dakota Street is currently an overlength cul-de-sac street (900 feet-existing, 500 feet-maximum) . The street should be connected to the portion of Dakota Street to the south to improve neighborhood circulation and emergency access. Criteria #4 The amendment is necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan's growth management program. Finding #4 The rezoning of the assembled properties from R-4 and R-2 to R-3 would result in implementation of several of the goals and policies established in the Housing, Land Use and Transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Rezone the subject site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential) to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) , except for the northwest portion of the site, west of a line drawn south of the western boundary of Macey 2nd Addition. This area should remain R-2 (Urban Residential) , to provide a more even zoning district. 2 . Rezone the entire subject site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential) to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) . 3 . Do not rezone the subject site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential) , to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) . Leave the zoning as it currently exists. 4. Table the decision until after a recommendation on the proposed vacation and preliminary PUD have been made for the proposal by the Planning Commission. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends Alternative #1. (See Exhibit I. ) Allowing the triangular shaped section in the northwest portion of the subject site to remain zoned R-2 (Urban Residential) will provide a more even zoning line for the zoning district. The rezoning of this property will encourage the development of the vacant undeveloped properties along the railroad line. A greater variety of housing types could be provided to the residents of Shakopee if the property were rezoned as the Planning Commission has recommended. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Ordinance No. 341, An Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map to Rezone an 8 .75 acre site from R-4 (Multi-family Residential) and R- 2 (Urban Residential) to R-3 (Mid-Density Residential) .

BACKGROUND: On November 10, 1992 , the City Council held a public hearing to consider the special assessments for the 2nd Avenue Project. The Council tabled Resolution No. 3703 , in order to research and possibly adjust several assessments. The following summarizes those assessments that staff was directed to review. Whole Energy & Hardware (PID 27-001846-0) Upon further review, staff has determined that this property should receive a sewer assessment of 2 1/2 lots rather than 5 lots. The basis for this adjustment is that approximately 1/2 of this property can be served by the new sewer installation, while the remainder of the property would need new additional sewers installed if the property were ever redeveloped. The credit issued to this parcel is $6, 992 . 67, which will be paid for by the Sanitary Sewer Fund. Curtis Johnson (PID 27-004149-1) and Dan Gerold (PID 27-004166-0) Because of the forcemain constructed to these properties, staff was directed to look into the cost of installing injector pumps in order to provide some type of credits to these parcels. In researching the costs of these pumps, staff has found that these pumps will cost around $900 - $1, 000. There may also be some additional costs associated with the installation such as electrical, basement repair, etc. , depending on the final design and location of the pumps. Based on this analysis, staff recommends a 50% credit to the sanitary sewer main line assessment for these 2 properties or a $1, 398 . 54 credit for each property. These costs will be funded by the Sanitary Sewer Fund. Cletus & Helen Link (PID 27-004012-0) This property is the Canterbury Car Wash. Because there was existing curb and gutter along the east side of Main Street and this curb and gutter was not removed but rather was left in place, since this property should receive a curb and gutter credit of $786. 54 . This cost will be part of the overall City wide cost. Shakopee Marine - Lots 4 and 5 of Block 15 (PID 27-004100-1) The property owner of this parcel claims that the property is unbuildable based on its zoning and setback requirements. The City Planner has researched this and has indicated that the lot is buildable, in his opinion. The front and side yard setbacks are 30 feet and the rear yard set back is 20 feet, leaving a building footprint area of 30 feet by 60 feet or 1800 square feet. The zoning is B-1 (please refer to the attached map) . Parking is allowed within the setback areas also. Therefore, staff is recommending that this assessment remain as originally proposed. Additional Credits In addition to the credits requested by City Council, staff has determined that several other properties should receive a possible assessment credit, as follows: Darlene Davies (PID 27-040099-0) This parcel consists of Lots 2 and 3 of Block 15 and therefore received a mainline sewer assessment for 2 lots. Even though the legal description indicates that there are 2 separate lots, the house is constructed centered on both lots. Therefore, it is impossible to construct a second home without first removing the existing home. Therefore, staff has concluded that the second lot is unbuildable and this property should only receive a sewer and watermain assessment for 1 lot. Staff has made this adjustment to their assessment. The costs for these credits will be funded by the Sanitary Sewer Fund and Shakopee Public Utilities. This situation does not apply to any other properties on the project. All other properties that received a sewer assessment for more than 1 lot are vacant properties, which have the potential to be developed as separate lots. Staff also recommends that this property be legally consolidated into 1 lot and staff will initiate that process immediately. Shakopee Marine - Lots 1 & 2, Block 25 (PID 27-004120-0) This parcel is somewhat similar to the Davies situation in that it is legally 2 lots, but the current building sits on both lots, thereby making the second lot undevelopable unless the current structure is removed. This property had existing mainline sewer to the northwest corner of the property prior to constructing this project (Same as the Robert Cole property) . Therefore, in the assessment roll presented to Council on November 10th, staff has only proposed to assess one of these lots for sewer rather than both of them. The reasoning behind this was the second lot now had sewer available to it, when it did not before, and if it were ever developed it would have access to sewer. Because of the current building location making the second lot un- buildable, staff is recommending that this second lot not be assessed for sewer and has made the appropriate change in the assessment roll. Staff also recommends that this parcel be legally consolidated into 1 lot and staff will initiate that process immediately. William Vohnoutka (PID 27-001233-0)/Robert Drury (PID 27-001224-0) Staff has discovered that these 2 locations had installed new sewer services in 1979, which met all City codes. Therefore, the sewer service line assessments for these 2 parcels has been eliminated. Staff has also rechecked all other sewer service assessments where clay pipe was replaced to make sure the assessments are valid for all other properties and has confirmed that these service line assessments are proper. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has made all of the adjustments discussed above in the new, revised assessment roll and recommends adopting the final assessments by Resolution No. 3703 . If the City Council wishes to revise some of the adjustments listed above, the resolution should be amended accordingly prior to adoption. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Resolution No. 3703 , A Resolution Adopting Assessments for 2nd Avenue, Between Sommerville Street and Various Abutting Cross Streets, Project No. 1992-3 and move its adoption.

Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator RE: Brambilla SAC Charges DATE: October 20, 1992 INTRODUCTION: On October 14, 1992 , staff received a correspondence from Mr. Philip R. Krass, Krass & Monroe, Chtd. , in regard to the SAC charges proposed for the Brambilla commercial development project in Shakopee. (See attachment #1) Mr. Krass has requested City Council to review this issue. This item was originally scheduled for Council consideration on 11/3/92 . The item was subsequently tabled at the request of Mr. Krass. BACKGROUND: In April of 1992, staff presented to City Council a memo requesting guidance in the treatment of SAC credits (See Attachment #2) . At that time, Council unanimously endorsed the action set forth in the memorandum. Since April, staff has been utilizing the guidelines approved by City Council in determining SAC credits. The site presently occupied by Mr. Brambilla is within the Mini By-pass right-of-way. Prior to 1985 on this property, the City did not collect SAC charges. Between 1985 and 1988, Mr. Brambilla did pay seven (7) SAC unit charges for various building improvements on the property. (See attachment #3) Mr. Brambilla is requesting that the SAC charges paid on his present site be transferred to his new site adjacent to Valley Industrial Blvd. North. Mr. Brambilla's position is that since no building will ever be constructed on his existing site following completion of the Mini By-pass project that it would seem reasonable to have the credits transferred to his new parcel. The City' s policy in regard to Mr. Brambilla's project is that the SAC units stay with the property and refunds or transfer of credits is not permitted. The City must make an irrevocable determination on a case by case basis to either keep (left over) SAC units site specific for future use or to have the units which then become credits applied for City wide benefit. According to MWCC staff, the larger Cities that have gone through the SAC credit issue for development have elected to keep the (left over) credits for city wide benefit and have not refunded them to the owners. In order to effectuate the request made by Mr. Brambilla, the City could exercise one of the following options: 1. Refund Mr. Brambilla for the SAC units that he has paid on his existing site. ($2 ,720. 00) The refund would be paid from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. Under this scenario, Mr. Brambilla would be required to pay his new SAC charge ($4, 200.00) and the City would be able to keep the left over SAC credits on Mr. Brambilla's for the city wide benefit resulting in a $4, 900.00 cash infusion into the Sanitary Sewer Fund. (Net loss to City when compared to status quo - $2,720. 00. ) 2. Refund the SAC units paid by Mr. Brambilla on his existing site at today's SAC charge rate in an amount not to exceed what the SAC charges will be on his new site. (Under this scenario the City would have to use money from the Sanitary Sewer Fund to pay the MWCC the required SAC payment for Mr. Brambilla' s new site. - $4, 200. 00) The City could still obtain city wide benefit for SAC credits on the original Brambilla site at today's SAC rate. (Net loss to City when compared to status quo - $4,200. 00. ) Staff does not believe it would be appropriate to set precedence in the area of transferring, crediting and/or refunding SAC units. When Mr. Brambilla sold his current site to MnDOT he was duly compensated for the value of the property including all inherent property rights which included access to City sewer (SAC) and water (WAC) . Note that Mr. Krass's correspondence refers to a $6, 600. 00 SAC charge. The $6, 600. 00 figure is both SAC ($4, 200.00) and WAC ($2, 400. 00) combined. The City does not have the authority to waive/reduce and/or transfer WAC charges. This fee is controlled by SPUC. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Maintain the status quo in terms of the SAC credit policy. 2 . Amend the SAC credit policy to allow for the transfer of credits to a property owner who relocates from a site that will not experience further development to a new development site within the community. (Cost to City - loss in City wide benefit equal to $4, 200. 00. ) 3 . Amend the SAC credit policy to allow for a SAC unit refund to a property owner who relocates from a site that will not experience further development to a new development site within the community. The refund shall not exceed what has actually been paid on the initial site. (Cost to City 0 $2,720. 00. ) 4 . Table action pending further information from staff. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #1. ACTION REQUESTED: 1. Move to remove this item from the table. 2 . Move to reaffirm the guidelines set forth in the City's SAC Credit Policy.

Certainly that is not going to happen on the Brambilla piece and it seems unfair that Mr. Brambilla would be billed $6 , 600 SAC charge for his new facility while the City retains what is in effect a windfall from the SAC credit at the old Brambilla facility. I am requesting that the City Council consider the equities here and possibly modify its policy to provide for situations such as this, where the property owner pays twice, where there can never be a reconstruction on the first parcel, and where retaining such a SAC charge credit would simply he a windfall for the City.

Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director Barry Stock, Ass' t City Administrator RE: SAC Credits DATE: April 15, 1992 Introduction MWCC has revamped the Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) system in the area of credits for demolition or reduction of demand. Staff is seeking Council guidance for the treatment of SAC credits. Background MWCC has revamped and tightened up the handling of credits in the SAC system. Cities have treated credits in various ways and the result has been a potential large scale problem for MWCC in terms of managing the capacity for the sewer system and the financial impact of credits. Cities now have to identify and account for all credits. Staff has researched and is finalizing the list of credits on hand for Shakopee. MWCC will not refund cash to the City for credits. A couple examples at this point may best explain the situation; I. A house in the urban part of Shakopee is connected to the sewer system and has either paid a sac charge to connect to the system or is a pre-1973 house that is grand-fathered into the capacity of the sewer system. A house is one sac unit and the current rate is • $700.00 per sac unit. We are talking about the capacity of the sewer system, not the usage or the daily/monthly flow in the system. Assume that this house is demolished, resulting in that vacant site not being connected to the sewer system. There is now a sac credit pending. It is pending until a new use for the site is established. A) . A new house is built on the site and the pending credit is applied to the new use of the site. No payment is made to MWCC for the sac charge for the new house. 1) The city can either collect a sac charge from the developer of the new house and keep $700.00 for sewer improvements or 2) "apply the credit" and not collect $700.00 from the developer. B) . A paved parking lot is installed on the site. There is no sac charge for the parking lot and the pending sac credit is now available for the city to use. 1) The city can either keep the credit resulting in having $700.00 for sewer improvements or 2) attempt to refund the credit amount to the owner or 3) hold the credit for a subsequent future change in use of that fog mmil i - Jrurr•1t .� , R. t tin D "P..;.

MEMO TO: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator }� FROM: Dave Hutton, Public Works Director /J�1 / SUBJECT: Traffic Signal County Road 17 and 10th Avenue DATE: November 13 , 1992 INTRODUCTION: Attached is Resolution No. 3710, which authorizes the appropriate City officials to execute a Cooperative Agreement with Scott County regarding the installation of traffic signals at County Road (C.R. ) 17 and 10th Avenue. BACKGROUND: The City Council previously requested that Scott County complete a traffic signal warrant study for the intersection of C.R. 17 and 10th Avenue. The results of that study indicated that traffic signals were warranted at this intersection. The County Engineer has now forwarded Cooperative Agreement No. TS- 92-17/10th regarding the funding for this signal to the City Council for approval. Basically, since two of the four legs of this intersection are City streets, the City will pay 50% of this signal per the Cooperative Agreement. Attached is a copy of the Cooperative Agreement for City Council consideration. This agreement is exactly the same as the one approved by the City Council in October, 1992 for the signal at C.R. 16 and C.R. 83 , which was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The only difference between the two agreements is the amount of funding. Staff recommends approval of this agreement. Attached is Resolution No. 3710, authorizing the execution of the Cooperative Agreement. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 3710. 2 . Deny Resolution No. 3710 .

Kraft, City Administrator RE: Hiring of Logo Design Consultant DATE: November 13 , 1992 INTRODUCTION: Earlier this year the City Council directed that Design Consultants be interviewed for the purpose of creating a new logo for the City of Shakopee. BACKGROUND: In response to the City Council's directive the City Administrator and Assistant City Administrator interviewed three design firms. The firms included: S. Mears Design of Prior Lake, Cottage Communications Public Relations and Advertising of Minnetonka and Marketing Arts, Inc. of Shakopee. There was some variation in the amount of experience that each firm had in the areas in which we were interested. There was some variation in the costs quoted. The least expensive firm, S. Mears Design, also had the least amount of experience in developing logos. The cost quoted by Steve Mears included an amount of $1200 for theme and concept development, logo design and letterhead and envelope layout and an additional $300 for the production of the logo, letterhead and envelope to camera ready art work. The second firm interviewed, Cottage Communications, has a more extensive background and has considerable experience in public relations and advertising. The cost estimate of Cottage Communications included an amount of $1500 to $2325 for a new theme and two color logo design, including a research meeting, two presentation meetings, initial concepting and design option preparation, along with the creation of a final logo and it's adaptation for a new letterhead, envelopes and camera ready art work, color break and printing specifications. This proposal also included an additional $244 in direct expenses for materials and supplies for a total estimated amount of $1744 to $2569. The third firm, Marketing Arts, is a local firm that has done an extensive amount of work for many corporate clients. This firm has the broadest capability in terms of being able to produce the logo design and art work that the City is interested in. All of the firms have done work for local businesses. The Marketing Arts process is as extensive in scope as the Cottage Communications proposal. RECOMMENDATION: It was the consensus of the interviewers that Marketing Arts would be able to do the best job for the City. Marketing Arts also is the most expensive at $2800 vs. a maximum of $2569 for Cottage Communications and $1500 for S. Mears Design. ACTION REQUESTED: Move to direct the appropriate City officials to enter into an agreement with Marketing Arts Inc. for design services and the creation of a logo for the City of Shakopee.

The contractor is requesting permission to work from 6: 00 A.M. to 11: 00 P.M. in order to make use of double shifts for the pile driving. The current City noise ordinance allows construction to occur between 7 : 00 A.M. and 10: 00 P.M. , so the request would be for 1 additional hour in the morning and 1 additional hour at night. Mn/DOT and Scott County both support this request. The contractor has over 240, 000 feet (45 miles) of piling to drive for this project and it would be extremely advantageous to have full use of a double shift. Attached is a letter of support from Mn/DOT. The area of construction is not near any residential areas of Shakopee and to date staff has not received any noise complaints from Shakopee residents on this project. ACTION REQUESTED: Move to grant a waiver on the City of Shakopee Noise Ordinance to Lunda Construction, to allow construction to occur on the Bloomington Ferry Bridge between the hours of 6: 00 A.M. to 11: 00 P.M.

COiSENT /1K TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Reclassification of Park Reserve Fund DATE: November 11, 1992 Introduction Council approval of reclassification of the Park Reserve Fund from the Special Revenue Fund Type to the Capital Projects Fund Type is requested. Background One of the concerns related to the issue of the State looking at fund balances of cities is that the state will look not only at the general fund but also the special revenue funds. This is similar to the school districts situation. The Park Reserve Fund is not used for operating purposes but only for improvements or capital expenditures. Accordingly, reclassifying this fund as a capital projects fund reduces the likelihood of the state taking some action which would adversely affect the city based on the fund balance in the Park Reserve Fund. Another factor is the nature of the expenditures out of this fund. Expenditures are for projects with controls placed on the project as opposed to annual expenditure controls. Projects can lap over several years. Council does not formally adopt appropriations for capital projects funds and therefore significant budget variations due to the timing of expenditures are not reported in the annual financial report. The annual financial report goes to the state and to Moody's. Alternatives 1. Keep the Park Reserve Fund classified as a Special Revenue Fund Type. 2. Reclassify the Park Reserve Fund as a Capital Projects Fund Type. Recommendation Alternative number two. The audit firm of Deloitte & Touche recommended that Council consider making the change. Action Move to approve of the reclassification of the Park Reserve Fund from the Special Revenue Fund Type to the Capital Projects Fund Type. • TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Interfund Transfers DATE: November 12, 1992 Introduction Council approval for various interfund transfers is requested.

Interest earned by this fund in 1992 to accrue to the General Fund. Due to an over estimate of special assessments to be collected in 1992, the budget shows a transfer of $121,722. The remaining special assessments receivable to be transferred to the CIF.

Ekola, City Planner RE: Request for Authorization to Carryover an Additional Forty (40) Hours of Earned Vacation Time Into 1993 DATE: November 12 , 1992 INTRODUCTION: I am requesting authorization for a carryover of vacation time earned by 40 hours above the amount allowed by the Personnel Policy. The Personnel Policy requires authorization by City Council to extend the amount of vacation that can be accrued or carried over into the next year. BACKGROUND: The current Personnel Policy limits the amount of vacation time that can be accrued or carried over into a new payroll year by the amount earned in a year. The policy reads as follows: "No more than the amount of vacation leave earned in a payroll year can be carried into a new payroll year, unless specifically authorized by the City Administrator with approval of the City Council which approval shall be granted only for unusual circumstances. All accrued vacation in excess of this maximum shall be stricken from the accrual records and lost. " DISCUSSION: Due to the large workload undertaken by the Planning Department this year, it has been difficult for me to utilize earned vacation time. At the end of 1992, I will have earned 224.02 hours of vacation time. With the 120 hour carryover limit I will have 13 days (104. 02 hours) of vacation time for use in the rest of 1992 . With the present workload I feel that I can use 8 days (64 hours) in 1992 . I do not feel that I can use all 13 days this year without impacting the Planning Department functions. Therefore, I am requesting the carryover of 40 additional hours of vacation time earned into 1993 . I plan to build a house for myself next year. I am currently in the process of designing the house and planning the construction effort. It is my intent to construct as much of the house as possible within the time frame available to me considering my position with the City. I will be scheduling the use of my vacation time to minimize the impacts on the Planning Department workload. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the request to allow 40 additional hours of vacation time earned to be carried over into 1993 . 2 . Do not approve the request. 3 . Approve a lesser amount of additional vacation time carryover. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer a motion to authorize the carryover of 40 additional hours of earned vacation time for Lindberg Ekola into 1993 and move its adoption. CITY .ADMINISTRATOR' S RECOMMENDATION: The City Administrator recommends approval with a provision that this be on a one time basis . // K TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Fiscal Disparities Option For TIF District #4 DATE: November 3, 1992 Introduction The attached resolution changes the fiscal disparities contribution from the city as a whole to TIF district number 4. Background Council has discussed several times the option of changing the fiscal disparities contribution from the city as a whole to having it come out of TIF district number 4. The change will decrease the amount of TIF revenue coming to the city, and will increase the tax base available to support the general tax levy (which will lower individual tax bills) . The option to change is a one time irrevocable option. It will impact pay 1993 and 1994 taxes. The decrease in the amount available to the city as TIF revenue will be about $66,000 per year after the reduction in value for the track. Action Requested Offer Resolution No. 3702 A Resolution Changing The Fiscal Disparities Contribution For Tax Increment District Number Four, and move its adoption. Resolution Number 3702 A Resolution Changing The Fiscal Disparities Contribution For Tax Increment District Number Four WHEREAS, the City of Shakopee has previously adopted Resolution No. 2344 which established Tax Increment District #4 and had the fiscal disparities contribution come from the city as a whole, and WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to have the fiscal disparities come from the district, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, that effective with taxes payable in 1993, the City elects to change the method of computation of tax increment applied to Tax Increment District #4 from the method described in Minnesota Statutes Section 469.177, Subd. 3(a) to the method described in Subd. 3(b) . Adopted in session of the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, held this day of , 1992. Mayor of the City of Shakopee ATTEST: City Clerk Approved as to form. City Attorney )J1-- TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: General Fund - Fund Balance DATE: November 4, 1992 Introduction Council has not reached a decision what the disposition of the General Fund - Fund Balance that is over the target set by Council. Background Council has set a target of 25% of expenditures for a fund balance level. Starting 1992 the City had a fund balance level of 37% or $592,417 over the target. Part of the amount over the target is due to the sale of the parking lots for the mini-bypass in 1991 for $260,000. The 1992 budget appears to be on track for the fund as a whole, depending on what happens to state aid in December and whether the contingency appropriation is used. Comparing the 1993 proposed budget to estimated fund balance, there is about $90,000 over the target excluding the $260,000 from the land sale. Alternatives 1A. Keep the $260,000 in the General Fund and exceed the target level. 1B. Transfer the $260,000 to the CIF for future improvements (parking?) . 1C. Transfer $260,000 to the equipment revolving fund. 1D. Transfer $260,000 to another fund. 2A. Leave the $90,000 in the General Fund and exceed the target. 2B. Transfer the $90,000 to the CIF for future improvements. 2C. Transfer $90,000 to the equipment revolving fund. 2D. Transfer $90,000 to another fund. 2E. Use $90,000 to support the 1993 General Fund budget and reduce the tax levy. Recommendation Alternatives 1B and 2E. An alternate recommendation would be 1B and 2B. The city still appears to be facing a large tax increase and alternative 2E could provide some transition relief for a year. Action Requested 1) Move to direct staff to prepare the appropriate budget amendment and to authorize the transfer of $260,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Improvement Fund. 2) Move to direct staff to prepare the 1993 General Fund Budget with a projected $90,000 draw down on fund balance and reduce the projected tax levy by $90,000. OR Move to direct staff to prepare the appropriate budget amendment and to authorize the transfer of $90,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Equipment Fund. budget\other93\gffb //7m, TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Volunteer Accident Coverage DATE: October 30, 1992 Introduction The attached memo from the League explains the volunteer accident coverage available. Background The City recently dropped work comp coverage for boards and commissions. There is no coverage for volunteers unless a liability claim is submitted against the city and the city is liable for negligence. This program provides some coverage for volunteers (clean-up day, recreation programs, park improvements, etc. ) The cost will run about $1,200 plus $540 for the medical coverage. Construction\demolition projects to be covered under the policy would cost $300 - $435 per project. Note that members of a private organization participating as a group are not covered. Alternatives 1. Obtain coverage. 2. Status quo - no coverage. Recommendation The City Attorney recommends acquiring the policy. The premium is small compared to any potential claim. Construction/demolition projects should probably be handled by qualified contractors and not volunteers due to the risk involved. I do not recall ever having a claim submitted by a volunteer. Action Requested Provide staff direction. 414.

This program provides a schedule of benefits to compensate city volunteers who are injured while performing volunteer services for the city. This optional coverage is available to member cities of the LMCIT workers compensation program. Whom will the new program cover? With only a few exceptions, all city volunteers working under the city's direction and control will be automatically covered on a blanket basis if the city chooses to add this coverage. This could include, for example, coaches and instructors in recreation programs, volunteers working on a city-sponsored festival or celebration, "clean-up day° volunteers, etc. The city will not need to list the individuals who are to be covered, either by name or by project; nor will the city need to keep track of the time the various volunteers put in. There are four classes of volunteers who would not be automatically covered: 1. Volunteers who are covered by workers compensation. Certain volunteers are defined to be "employees" for purposes of workers compensation, and are therefor eligible for workers compensation benefits if they are injured. These include volunteer firefighters, ambulance attendants, first responders, law enforcement assistance volunteers, and civil defense volunteers. Since these volunteers are already protected by workers compensation, they are not covered under this plan. 2 . City council, board, committee, and commission members. Other coverage options are already available for these people. The workers compensation law gives cities the option to extend workers compensation coverage to elected and appointed officials. LMCIT has also for several years offered an accident policy underwritten by CIGNA for members of city councils, boards, and committees. -1- 3 . Members of private organizations which provide services or participate in city-sponsored activities as a group. 4 . Volunteers working on construction or demolition projects. These volunteers will not be covered automatically. However, for an additional charge, the city can add coverage for volunteers on a specific construction or demolition project. What benefits would an injured volunteer receive? The plan will provide three basic benefits: 1. Disability benefit. A volunteer who is unable to engage in the activites of his/her normal occupation because of an injury suffered while performing volunteer services for the city will receive a disability benefit of $400/week for up to 26 weeks. 2 . Death benefit. If a volunteer dies as a result of an injury suffered while performing volunteer services for the city, a death benefit of $100, 000 will be paid to the volunteer's survivors or estate. 3 . Impairment benefit. If a volunteer suffers a permanent impairment or disability as a result of an injury suffered while performing volunteer services for the city, the volunteer will receive a lump sum payment as compensation for that impairment. Payments are based on the percentage of disability, ranging from $750 for a 1% disability to $100, 000 for 100% disability. The percentage of disability is determined in the same manner used for impairment compensation in the workers compensation system. For an additional charge the city can add coverage for up to $1000 of medical costs. This limited medical coverage is intended to pick up relatively minor first aid costs. On more serious injuries, it could also be applied to. costs which the individual would otherwise have to bear under his/her own health coverage's deductible or co-pay provisions. What does it cost? The cost is based on the city's population. The basic annual charge is $. 10 per capita, subject to a minimum premium of $150 and a maximum premium of $1500. The additional cost to add the optional medical coverage is 45% of the basic premium. Coverage for volunteers working on a construction or demolition project can be added for a charge of $300 per project, or $435 per project if the optional medical coverage is included. -2- The expiration date of this coverage will be coordinated with the city's LMCIT workers compensation coverage. For cities that add this coverage mid-term, the initial premium will be pro-rated. Why would the city want this coverage? Aren't injuries to volunteers already covered under the city's liability coverage? An injury to a volunteer would be covered by the LMCIT liability coverage only if the city was legally liable for that injury; that is, if the injury was caused by some negligence by the city or a city officer or employee or another city volunteer. However, just as with any other tort claim, the city would not be liable for an injury to a volunteer if the volunteer him/herself were more at fault than the city, or if the injury were simply an accident that really wasn't anyone's fault. A volunteer coach being hit in the head by a batted baseball might be an example of the latter situation. The volunteer accident coverage protects the volunteer on a "no-fault" basis. The benefits are automatically payable if the injury occurs while the volunteer is performing services for the city, regardless of whose fault it was. Besides protecting the volunteer whose injury isn't caused by the city's negligence, having these no-fault benefits available could also help avoid litigation in cases where the city (or a city officer, employee, or other volunteer) is or may be at fault. The injured volunteer can receive these benefits without getting into an adversary situation against the city. Of course, if the volunteer's injuries exceeded the benefits paid under this coverage, he/she would still be able to make a tort claim against the city for those excess damages, if the injury was caused by the city's negligence. Why did LMCIT create a whole new program? Why not just offer a "voluntary workers compensation endorsement" and provide workers compensation benefits to volunteers? The LMCIT Board chose this approach for several reasons. First, this approach is substantially less expensive to the city than providing workers compensation benefits would be. The basic premiums are roughly a fifth of the cost of workers compensation benefits, reflecting the more limited scope of benefits provided. Second, administration is simpler for the city, since the city doesn't have to keep records of how many hours were worked by how many volunteers, etc. Third, it eliminates the problem of determining what the appropriate indemnity rate is for an unpaid volunteer. (This is particularly problematic with volunteers who don't have other paying employment. ) -3- Fourth, providing voluntary workers compensation coverage would create a potentially unlimited risk for LMCIT, since the reinsurance LMCIT purchases from the state workers compensation reinsurance association wouldn't apply to this exposure. The LMCIT Board was very concerned about the danger of assuming an open-ended risk that conceivably could jeopardize the financial stability of the entire pool in a catastrophic situation. How do we enroll? To enroll, complete the attached form and return it to Berkley Administrators. (Don't worry, this isn't someone new. EBA has just changed its name. It's still the same company that has administered LMCIT's workers compensation program since 1980. ) They will bill the city for the premium.

Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator RE: City Hall - Panel Systems Furniture DATE: November 9, 1992 INTRODUCTION: On October 20, 1992 , Intra Design's presented their recommendation for the new City Hall furnishings bid package. It is the opinion of staff that the action taken by City Council regarding Furnishings Bid Package #1 did not clearly address the panel systems furniture.

BACKGROUND: Furnishings Bid Package #1 as presented by Intra Design on October 20, 1992 , included office furniture. Bid Package #1 did not include the panel systems furniture. The initial budget projection submitted by Intra Design for the panel systems furniture equated to $50, 000. 00. Intra Design's is recommending that the panel systems furniture be acquired through the State Government Contract. A final cost quotation has been received under the State Government Contract for the panel systems furniture in the amount of $40, 006.94 . This cost includes tax, installation and warehousing. Intra Design is recommending that the appropriate City officials be authorized to acquire the panel systems furniture in the amount of $40, 006.94 under the State Government Contract. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Authorize the appropriate City officials to acquire the panel systems furniture from Facility System, Inc. Office Pavilion (State Government Contract) in the amount of $40, 006.94 . 2 . Do not acquire the panel systems furniture under the State Government Contract. 3 .

Cox, City Clerk a' RE: Amendment To Planned Unit I velopment Agreement for Stonebrooke First Addition DATE: November 10, 1992 INTRODUCTION: A request has been made by the owners of the Stonebrooke Golf Course to amend the Planned Unit Development Agreement for Stonebrooke First Addition. BACKGROUND: An attorney was recently examining the title on a lot in Stonebrooke for someone looking at purchasing the lot. While examining the title, the attorney raised a concern about a condition in the Planned Unit Development Agreement. He was concerned that the new property owner would have some liability as a result of this condition. The attorney has asked the developer if the condition could be released so that it would be clear that the property owner has no liability for the said condition. Stonebrooke Golf Course is asking the City to release all parcels not owned by them from the condition in question which is contained in the Planned Unit Development Agreement. When the Stonebrooke property was going through the planned unit development process and the platting process, a condition of approval required the golf course to carry liability insurance. The insurance was required because one of the fairways transcends over a public body of water. To insure insurance coverage, the agreement provides that " . . .should the developer and fee owners fail to maintain the insurance and pay the premiums thereon the same may be done by the City of Shakopee and said amount so advanced by the City shall become a lien upon all of the property in the Planned Unit Development and to be recovered. " At this time, the developer owned all of the property in the PUD and so the PUD agreement covered the entire Stonebrooke 1st Addition plat. Subsequent to the platting, lots have been sold and homes built. There are approximately 32 platted lots and 13 outlots not owned by Stonebrooke Golf Course. All of these parcels are part of the planned unit development and are thus potentially bound by this condition in the Planned Unit Development Agreement. (Some of the outlots will eventually be replatted into future additions. Three of the outlots belong to a resident. ) The insurance requirement was for the benefit of the golf course. Most likely, it was not intended that the homeowners would have to pay for insurance, should the golf course not carry it. (And it is highly unlikely that the golf course would not carry the insurance. ) It would seem reasonable to release all parcels within the Planned Unit Development, not owned by the golf course, from the insurance clause within the Planned Unit Development Agreement. Amendment to Planned Unit Development Agreement November 10, 1992 Page -2- Exhibit "A" shows property owned by the golf course. ) ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve request for release of parcels from the condition requiring insurance coverage in the PUD agreement. 2) Deny request for the release. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternative number 1. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the appropriate city officials to release all parcels not owned by Stonebrooke Golf Course from the condition requiring insurance coverage contained in the Addendum To Planned Unit Development Agreement for Stonebrooke First Addition (recorded as documents 46491 and 261545) . / ADDENDUM TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHEREAS, the City of Shakopee and Laurent Builders Inc. together with the fee owners of the property involved in the Planned Unit Development have heretofore entered into a Planned Unit Development Agreement and because of subsequent occurrences it becomes necessary to amend the said Planned Unit Development Agreement to cover the recent occurrences.

The League of Minnesota Cities represents 804 of Minnesota's 855 cities as well as 10 urban towns and 21 special districts. All sizes of communities are represented among the League's members (the largest non-member city has a population of 223) and each region of the state is represented. The policies that follow are directed at specific city issues. Two principles guide the development of all League policies: 1. Minnesota cities' need for a governmental system which allows flexibility and authority for cities to meet challenges for governing our cities and providing our citizens with services while at the same time protecting cities from unfunded or underfunded mandates,liability or other financial risk, and restrictions on local control; and 2. That the financial and technical requirements for governing and providing services necessitate a continuing and strengthened partnership with federal state, and local governments. This partnership particularly in the areas of finance, development, housing, environment, and transportation is critical for the successful operation of Minnesota's cities and the well-being of city residents. PRIORITY SETTING "A"priority indicates a major issue area to which the League would devote a large amount of time and resources, working actively with legislators and other groups to seek new laws or regulations, and when appropriate introduce legislation. "B"priority indicates issue areas that are important to cities but on which the League would probably spend less time unless the legislature or other groups mount a major effort to which the League would respond. "C"priority indicates issue areas to which the League would respond only when other groups raise the issue and to which the League would not commit a significant amount of staff time. 1993 City Policies and Priorities 3 Contents Legislative Policy Committee Members 1 ""\ General Policy Statement 3 Mandates Policy 6 Development Strategies DS-1.

Attached is Resolution No. 3705, which adopts the new assessments for this project and repeals the previous resolution. BACKGROUND: On November 3 , 1992 the City Council held a public hearing to consider adopting the special assessments for the Vierling Drive Project. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council adopted the assessments by Resolution No. 3695. At the public hearing, two of the main issues discussed were the proposed assessments for the sidewalks and the boulevard trees. These two items were not included as assessable costs in the original feasibility report, but staff recommended including these two items in the final assessed costs and the City Council concurred. One of the statements presented to the Council to aid them in their decision was the fact that previous segments of Vierling Drive that were assessed (i.e. between C.R. 17 and C.R. 16) included the costs for sidewalks and boulevard trees. Since the November 3rd public hearing, staff has had the opportunity to review the past assessment calculations for previously assessed segments of Vierling Drive located between C.R. 17 and C.R. 16 which was constructed in two projects. Staff has discovered that boulevard trees were not assessed as part of these two projects. In reviewing the files, staff has been unable to determine why the boulevard trees were not included as part of the total project costs. The east half of this project included some additional landscaping on the hill going down to C.R. 16 such as special pine trees, wildflower grasses, etc. Staff can only assume that the Council felt these items should not be assessed and therefore eliminated them from the assessments. When the west half of Vierling Drive was constructed in this area, staff reviewed the previous assessment, which did not include the boulevard trees, and inadvertently eliminated the boulevard trees from the assessments for this second project. Based on the fact that no boulevard trees were assessed for these previous two Vierling Drive Projects, staff felt that the City Council should be given the opportunity to eliminate them from this project. If that is the desire of City Council, attached is Resolution No. 3705, which adopts a new assessment roll for this project eliminating the boulevard trees and repeals the previous Resolution No. 3695. Per Minnesota Statutes 429. 071, another public hearing is required to change the assessments, unless 100% of the property owners sign a waiver. Staff has contacted both property owners affected and is hoping to have signed waivers by the November 17th Council meeting. Attachment No. 1 shows the impact on the assessments by eliminating the boulevard trees. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 3705. 2 . Deny Resolution No. 3705. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is of the opinion that boulevard trees should be included in the overall project costs of a street. But based on the past City Council 's action, the City Council may wish to eliminate the boulevard trees from the assessed costs. If the City Council elects to keep the boulevard trees as part of the assessed costs, no action is necessary as the assessments have already been adopted. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Resolution No. 3705, A Resolution Adopting Assessments for Vierling Drive, Between County Road 17 and County Road 79 , Project No. 1992-3 and move its adoption.

Stock, Assistant City Administrator RE: Transit Budget Amendment - Resolution No. 3708 DATE: November 12, 1992 INTRODUCTION: For the past three months the Shakopee Transit Program has experienced increased ridership demand in the Van Pool and Dial-A- Ride Programs. Additional service has been implemented in response to the demand. It would be appropriate at this time to amendment the 1992 Transit Budget accordingly to offset costs associated with the additional service. BACKGROUND: Last year the Regional Transit Board approved $236, 360. 00 for transit operating assistance for the City of Shakopee in 1992 . The 1992 Budget included funding for seven van pools at a cost of $700. 00 per month. In 1992 the average leasing cost since forOca van pool ool has been $750. 00 per month. Additionally, additional van pool vehicles have been added to our fleet. With the winter season rapidly approaching, we have also noticed a significant increase in dial-a-ride ridership demand. Our normal and customary seasonal ridership increase has been exacerbated by the fact that we are now receiving increased request for handicapped service. These increases are a result of discontinued Metro Mobility Services in our area. The 1993 Transit Budget did include the addition of a fourth dial-a-ride vehicle that will be handicapped accessible. The Energy and Transportation Committee is recommending that the fourth dial-a-ride handicapped accessible vehicle be placed in to service on November 16, 1992 rather than January 1, 1993 . The Energy and Transportation Committee is also recommending that additional funds be allocated to market the Dial-A-Ride Program and the new handicapped accessible service. Shown in attachment #1 is a summary of the various service components mentioned herein and the additional cost associated with each element. Staff has submitted a budget amendment request in the amount of $17, 015. 00 to the Regional Transit Board for their review and approval. The Regional Transit Board' s Administration and Finance Committee approved the additional funding request on November 9, 1992 . At that time, the Administration and Finance Committee also approved the City of Shakopee's 1993 Transit Service Budget request. Shown in attachment #2 is Resolution No. 3708, A Resolution Amending the 1992 Budget Increasing the Transit Division by $17, 015. 00. Note that State Aid Revenues (RTB Financial Assistance) are being increased by a corresponding amount. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Offer Resolution No. 3708 , A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 3496 Adopting the 1992 Budget. 2 . Amend the Resolution as drafted and move it' s adoption. 3 . Table action pending further information from staff. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternative #1. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Resolution No. 3708 , A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 3496 Adopting the 1992 Budget, and move it' s adoption.
