I hope that the following correspondence will serve to dispel false information that may be going around the community. In 1989, the City of Shakopee approved Resolution No. 3123 establishing a committee to oversee the operation of the Community Youth Building. (See attachment T1) The resolution explains the principle responsibilities of the committee. Over the past year and a half, City staff has been advised of problems regarding scheduling and maintaining the facility. The City has also not been receiving reports from the Committee as specified in the resolution. Additionally, we have had a problem with finding volunteers to serve on the committee. In January of 1992 , the City accepted some of the responsibilities for scheduling the facility. However, Mr. Ed Dressen continued to maintain the duties of primary scheduling. Approximately one year ago, the City also accepted some of the cleaning responsibilities. At the present time, we have a City custodian clean the restroom facilities at least once per week. This past September, the Shakopee Park and Recreation Board discussed the problems that we have been experiencing with scheduling the facility and apparent lack of interest in serving on the Community Youth Building Committee. At that time, the Park and Recreation Board felt that the language in the initial resolution which specified that the committee should be comprised of five members to be appointed by the City Council consisting of representatives from local scouting programs might be too restrictive. The Park and Recreation Board recommended that the resolution be expanded to include representatives from local youth organizations. The Heart Of Progress Valley AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER It is the City' s desire to continue to have the Community Youth Building Committee function as setforth in Resolution No. 3123 . However, discussion has taken place regarding a back-up plan should it continue to not function as originally setforth. Discussions have centered around the possibility of having the Shakopee Park and Recreation Advisory Board assume the duties of the Community Youth Building Committee. The duties of scheduling would be absorbed by Park and Recreation Board staff. We have also discussed the possibility of leasing the building to other organizations when there are no youth and/or senior functions planned for the facility. Let me assure you that charging a fee for community youth and/or senior meetings has never been discussed. We would also be our desire to continue to maintain the practice of having the facility available first for community youth groups and senior programs. All other groups would be accommodated as scheduling permits providing there are no other youth or senior functions planned. If your organization has individuals interested in serving on the Community Youth Building Committee, please contact Judy Cox, Shakopee City Clerk for an application. If we do not have enough volunteer support to continue the Community Youth Building Committee, I expect that the Shakopee Park and Recreation Advisory Board will be requested to take over the duties and responsibilities as originally setforth in the aforementioned resolution. If you have any questions or concerns regarding scheduling the Community Youth Building Facility and/or the duties and responsibilities of the committee, please feel free to call me at 445-3650 .

Ms. Vierling has served as a Metropolitan Waste Control Commission member since 1988. During this time, Ms. Vierling has gained valuable experience as a Commissioner who understands solid waste issues as they effect the entire metropolitan area. Ms. Vierling also has been able to function effectively in a non-partisan matter while dealing with a myriad of overlapping issues and jurisdictions. Within our community, Ms. Vierling has also been a long time Councilmember of the City of Shakopee. She has also represented the City on many occasions as a Councilmember liaison to various Metropolitan and regional governmental agencies. Ms. Vierling possesses strong leadership skills and always deals with issues and concerns in a fair and effective manner. Prior to serving on the Shakopee City Council Ms. Vierling also served on the Shakopee Planning Commission where she once again exhibited strong leadership qualities and gained valuable knowledge in the area of growth management, long-range planning and economic development. I 'm sure I speak for all communities in the Southwest Metropolitan Area who are in need of direct representation in the area of metropolitan governance when I ask for your endorsement of Ms. Vierling for reappointment to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Sincerely, „ ; 41Levi-- Gary L. Laurent, Mayor City of Shakopee CC: Mary Smith, Met. Councilmember District 13 Bonnie Featherstone, Met. Councilmember District 14 The Heart Of Progress Valley AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Lindberg S. Ekola, City Planner David E. Hutton, Public Works Director RE: County Road 42 Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) DATE: January 13 , 1993 NON-AGENDA INFORMATION ITEM: The Scott County Highway Department has prepared an EAW for the reconstruction of Phase I of the CR 42 project. The Phase I portion of the proposed project is that segment from Ferndale Avenue to Harbor Place. This project would provide a four lane divided urban roadway with turn lanes at major intersections and a traffic signal system at CSAH 18 . The Phase II portion of the CR 42 reconstruction project would extend from Ferndale Avenue to the CSAH 21 and is programmed for the year 1995. The third phase of the reconstruction project would extend from CSAH 17 to CSAH 21 and is programmed for 1997 . Attached is a copy of the project phasing map for the CR 42 reconstruction project. The Highway Department has distributed the CR 42 EAW for review and comment. Comments from governmental agencies and the public are due on February 3 , 1993 . The Scott County Board will serve as the Responsible Governing Unit (RGU) and will need to make a determination on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) . Since Phase I of the CR 42 reconstruction project is not located within the City of Shakopee, the range of comments is limited to a few minor points. Staff will request that a copy of the Phase II and Phase II EAWs be forwarded to the City for review at the appropriate time. If the City Council would like to formally review the CR 42 EAW the item can be added to the January 19 City Council agenda. Due to the importance of CR 42 to the City of Shakopee, staff felt that it would be beneficial to inform the City Council of the Phase I CR 42 EAW. If members of the City Council would like a complete copy of the CR 42 EAW please contact the Planning Department staff at 445-3650. ••„..„...___ . . cR 142 EAw .

Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk /' RE: Council Proceedings DATE: January 12 , 1993 The minutes from the December 15th City Council meeting will not be ready for Council approval on January 19th. (It is my goal to have minutes ready for Council approval no later than + 30 days from the date of the meeting. ) The reason for the delay is because of computer problems, and a reduction in work days due to holidays and illness. We will need to re-enter the entire set of minutes because they were completely lost when the computer went down. TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director RE: Council Informational Items DATE: January 4, 1993 Council declared numerous items surplus property last year. All have been disposed of except the sewer bucket machines and the old sewer jetter. No bids were received for either of these items. Staff will advertise again in the League Bulletin. If there is no response after that, one option could be to keep the bucket machines until there is an interested party since there is virtually no maintenance, insurance or operating cost to these machines and sell the chassis from the jetter at auction and junk the jetter body.

Hutton City Engineer 3490 Lexington Avenue North St. Paul,MN 55126 League of Minnesota Cities (612)44)0-5600 _- January 5 , 1993 TO: All clerks, mayors, and managers FROM: Larry Bakken, president SUBJECT: New LMC executive director It gives me great pleasure to announce that the board of directors of the League of Minnesota Cities has agreed to hire James F. Miller, Minnetonka city manager, as the new executive director of our organization. Jim will take over on February 4 , 1993 . Many of you know Jim on a personal basis, but for those of you who don't, let me give you a brief history of his career. He has been Minnetonka's city manager for the past 13 years. He was the assistant city manager in Des Moines, Iowa; assistant to the city manager in Janesville, Wisconsin; administrative assistant to the village manager in Brown Deer, Wisconsin; and served a management internship in Phoenix, Arizona. He is an adjunct professor in the graduate program in public administration at Hamline University and was an instructor in the graduate program in public administration at Drake University in Des Moines. In my estimation, Miller is the most suitable person available to fill the position of executive director of the League. He knows the policies and personnel of the League, inside and out, is familiar with the questions and problems facing cities in Minnesota, and is a proven and capable leader. In addition to possessing over 27 years of cumulative city government experience, he is also a past president of the League of Minnesota Cities . He was a past chair of the LMC budget committee, is a member of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities' metropolitan agencies committee, and chair of the operating committees for both the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission and the Municipal Legislative Commission. He is a past president of the Metropolitan Area Managers Association and the Local Government Information Service and a member of the LMC's development strategies committee. I urge you to avail yourself of Jim's expertise once he becomes settled in his new environment. I'm positive that he will be one of the great leaders of the 80-year old association.

We are scheduling Hazardous Material Response training at the Operational level to take place starting late January for 15 three(3) hour sessions over the following couple of months. Most of the Shakopee Fire Department will take part in this training being provided by Dakota County Vocational College. IV. SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. The new Fire Pumping Apparatus was received by The City of Shakopee on 12/14/92. We are in the process of appropriately loading the apparatus and will put it into service after the operational training has taken place. This new truck will be our first out primary attack pumper and has been designed with this in mind. It has been designed with great flexibility for different uses in the future if the need arises. This apparatus will provide many years of reliable service on the front lines of our operations. 2. Firefighter George Breggemann has retired from active service on the Shakopee Fire Department as of October. George has provided this city with 26 years of service. During his service he has been a firefighter, assistant chief and chief on the department. Georges' presence on the fireground and at the station will be greatly missed. Join us in thanking him for his service and contribution. We wish him well and hope to see him frequently as a retired firefighter. 3. The committee for the new aerial apparatus has held 8 formal meetings and has met with several apparatus vendors. The committee spent 2 days at Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton WI. evaluating their equipment. This was done by committee members who could get away from their regular jobs as it occurred during week. Manufacturers like E-ONE, LTI, KME and others have been contacted and will be also be evaluated. More factory visits and equipment evaluations will be scheduled to assure we are receiving the most appropriate and economical apparatus available. Though Administrator Kraft and one vendor we my have several interested parties in our present aerial. We are looking forward to the councils ok to proceed with advertise our aerial for sale as soon as possible to take full advantage of these leads as they come known to us. V. DEPARTMENT PLANS: - Remaining at the top of the Shakopee Fire Departments priority list is the acquisition of land for Fire Station #2. We are awaiting the approval from council for the purchasing of land and planning and site lay out. We believe planning and placement of the new station is critical to functionality and cost. - Replacing our Aerial Apparatus. We hope to have the apparatus specifications ready to go out for bid on the Aerial Apparatus during the first quarter of 1993. - Our five year+ plan is being expanded and updated to align itself with the Shakopee Comprehensive Plan. We will be able to use this as a tool to plan for future needs, expansions or changes in emphasis in the future as the community expands and changes. VI. SERVICE ANNIVERSARIES: October 1.

APPROVAL OF DECEMBER 3 , 1992 , MEETING MINUTES The meeting minutes were approved as presented. IV. RECOGNITION OF INTERESTED CITIZENS Vice Chrmn. Spurrier recognized anyone in the audience wishing to speak on any item not on the agenda. There was no response. The City Planner introduced Paul Kewitsch to the members stating that Paul is an intern from Gustavus Adolphus College and he will be with them for the month of January helping the staff work on the standardizing of the conditions and the standardizing of staff reports. V. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER AN APPEAL TO THE STAFF'S INTERPRETATION OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE'S DEFINITION OF MOBILE HOMES IN THE RACETRACK DISTRICT. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier opened the public hearing to consider an appeal to the staff's interpretation of the City Zoning Ordinance's definition of mobile homes in the Racetrack District. The applicant wishes to use the structure for storage at 2100 Eagle Creek Blvd. The City Planner stated that Mr. Clark had filed an Application for an Appeal of the Decision of the City Administrator regarding staff's interpretation of Section Meeting of the Page - 2 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7, 1993 11. 05, subd. 8 , Mobile Homes. The property is located at 2100 Eagle Creek Boulevard. The City Planner stated the subject site is currently being utilized for agricultural uses, and contains a single family residence, two mobile home structures, and various farm buildings. He stated the applicant recently moved the mobile home structure onto the property. He informed staff that this structure was intended to be used as a storage structure for seed and small tractor parts. The structure was brought to staff's attention by Shakopee Public Utilities (SPUC) . The applicant had requested that electrical service be provided to the structure, and SPUC questioned whether it had received an approved Building Permit. Staff determined that a Building Permit had not been approved for the structure, and a letter was written to the applicant on November 25, 1992 , informing him that permits are required to move in or construct any building within the City of Shakopee. After becoming informed that building permits are required, the applicant submitted an Application for a Building Permit for the mobile home structure, and indicated that it would be used as a "storage trailer" , and not as living quarters. On December 1, 1992 , another letter was written to the applicant stating that the Zoning Ordinance does not permit mobile home structures within the RTD. The applicant submitted an application to appeal staff's interpretation of Section 11. 05, Subd. 8 of the City Code. The City Planner stated that if the applicant were to obtain an Administrative Waver from the City Administrator, he may be able to waive the PUD requirement and obtain a building permit to construct an accessory structure for agricultural storage purposes. However, this waiver could not provide approval to move a mobile home structure into the RTD. He stated that staff recommends Alternatives No. 1 and No. 4 , to uphold the interpretation of the City Administrator and to inform the applicant that he has up to 90 days to remove the mobile home structure from the site. Staff identified three reasons for this. He stated that the action requested is to offer Appeal Resolution No. 653 , and move its adoption. The City Planner stated the applicant as well as the property owner were present. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if any of the members of the Commission had any questions for Mr. Ekola. There were none. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to open the public hearing. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Meeting of the Page - 3 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7 , 1993 Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if the applicant would like to address the Planning Commission. John Clark, 2100 Eagle Creek Blvd. , stated that a letter from him was included in the commissioner's papers. It says property must be used for agricultural use. He stated that the storage unit he moved in there was going to be used for storing seed and small tractor parts. Under B, mobile home may not be the only occupied residents. Mr. Clark stated he has lived on this property for five years and the owner has lived there too. Under C, the person living in the mobile home must be related to the farm operator and must work on the farm. Mr. Clark stated that he works for Gene Hauer and it's not a mobile home the way he looks at it because it has no bathroom or kitchen. Mr. Clark stated that it is just a storage unit. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if anyone on the Planning Commission had any questions for the applicant. There was no response. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier stated that his question was specifically of use. He stated that Mr. Clark stated the trailer is not set up as a dwelling unit. Mr. Clark stated it has no running water, there's no plumbing, there's no bathroom. There is nothing. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked Mr. Clark if there was a kitchen or if it was gutted inside. Mr. Clark replied that there is not a kitchen. He stated that there are three rooms and that is all . Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked Mr. Clark if there was a furnace. Mr. Clark replied that there was not. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier questioned that since there was no furnace that this was cold storage. Mr. Clark stated that what he wanted was some electricity there so that he could see at night or on a dark day. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked Mr. Clark if he was proposing this as permanent or semi-permanent. Mr. Clark stated, "semi-permanent" and added that he was looking at the five year conditional use. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if there were any other questions Meeting of the Page - 4 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7 , 1993 of the applicant. There were none. Comm. Joos stated that he had a question of staff as far as the five year statement that had been used. He stated that he understands that it is applicable only in an agricultural zone and in the RTD zone. The City Planner stated that is correct. He stated that the provisions in the resolution apply to property zoned Agricultural or Rural R-1 Residential. He stated there are five criteria that apply which one would need to meet in order to get a Conditional Use Permit. These five requirements do not apply to this property as it is zoned RTD, Racetrack District. The City Planner stated that perhaps there is some confusion as to how these five requirements are applied and it may have been better to have not incorporated that into the discussion, but it was identifying where in the City of Shakopee mobile homes would be allowed. He stated these five criteria apply only to the Agricultural District and the R-1 District which Comm. Joos has identified. They do not apply to the RTD District. Comm. Christensen stated that she is confused on this. She stated the issue is a mobile home structure, but not a storage structure. Comm. Christensen questioned if this person could have a storage structure on its property for seeds and small tractor parts. The City Planner replied, yes. He stated that they have identified an option for the applicant to go through to get a storage facility on his property. He stated one would need to obtain an Administrative Waver from the PUD requirements and obtain a Building Permit for the construction of an accessory structure in which to store agricultural items. Comm. Christensen asked if Mr. Clark were to put a storage structure on his property, what kind of restraints are on it in terms of where it has to be located, how big it has to be, or how tall. She questioned if there were those kind of constraints on what the storage facility would look like. The City Planner stated, yes, there are performance standards in every district within the city, and the RTD District does have performance standards in terms of setbacks, building heights, and those are items that control the location and placement of buildings. The City Planner stated this property and the project are somewhat complicated by the fact they are within the RTD District and it requires a PUD for development. He stated historically he believes at one point in time the property owner has come in and received a waiver for construction of a building on the property, if he recalls the Meeting of the Page - 5 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7 , 1993 records right. He stated that was before his time with the City. The City Planner also stated that back in 1986, the City adopted the RTD District regulations, and with that came the PUD regulations. The PUD regulations require master site planning. He stated this farmstead is a nonconforming use within the RTD District, and on occasion there have been some changes to that property. He stated there was another storage building, or an agricultural building, constructed on that site and the ordinance was amended to allow for those kind of waivers to take place where you have these nonconforming uses where there clearly wasn't going to be a PUD applied to the project, it wasn't something like the race track or the hotel. It makes that situation a little bit more complicated. Comm. Christensen asked if this structure didn't look like a mobile home on the outside, would the dimensions of it meet the requirements for a storage facility. The City Planner stated there isn't a set of performance standards for what a storage building would have to necessarily be in terms of dimensions. The questions that have come up have to do with a mobile home being interpreted as a residential structure within the RTD District. One of the concerns that staff had in reference to that mobile home was that there was a deck, not a clear indication as to why the electrical permit was required and the amount of electrical utility that was to be provided for that structure. It appeared and the intent was more residential in nature. It's partly, perhaps, a lack of communication or understanding of what's happening. There was not a Building Permit applied for, and that does sometimes happen. Comm. Christensen asked if the City Planner had examined the inside of this structure. The City Planner stated that he has not personally been on the property, or within that structure. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked the City Planner if the applicant was to place an accessory building on the site, since it was a permitted nonconforming use, would the construction of an accessory building require a PUD or the waiver. He asked is there a provision for a waiver in the RTD Zoning District and what can be waived. The City Planner stated the administrative waiver process would apply to this property. He stated there are four or five criteria and he believes there has only been one or two different waivers granted within the last seven years. So it's something that doesn't happen very often in the City. He stated they don't have that many permitted uses within the Meeting of the Page - 6 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7 , 1993 RTD District. He stated a lot of the land is vacant or in agricultural use. Some of the conditions are in the staff report. It identifies that waivers can be issued if the changes in building location and size do not affect more than ten percent of the site area and or floor space. They need an inventory of how many buildings are on the property and what kind of total square footage is on the property to administer these criteria. Second, the changes in landscaping, parking, and drive arrangement do not affect more than ten percent of the site area. Third, the changes comply with all requirements placed on the zone in which the properties located. He stated he would assume that means the performance standard in terms of setbacks, building height, and other regulations. There would be building code information that would need to be met. So there's a series of things that the applicant can do to come through on that process. He stated the problem is that the mobile home structure is of residential character to the best of their inspection. He stated although he did not go up to the site personally, the building staff did and photographs were taken. He stated the difficulty of a mobile home structure is that it has a character of a residential use. Residential uses are not permitted in the RTD District. He added they have a nonconforming single family residence within the RTD district. The concern from a zoning standpoint is to not allow the expansion of other residential uses in that RTD District. Storage uses can occur but there are ordinances on that. He stated this isn't a real clear situation. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if there were any more questions of staff. There were none. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if the applicant had anything else to add. Gene Hauer, land owner where the applicant has his mobile home structure, 2088 Howard Trail, stated that it would be just a storage trailer and if anyone spent one night in there it would be gone. He stated they would like to have a waiver on it just for a year at a time. He stated as far as electricity, he has grain bins and fans, and he's running short on electricity. He would be using the electricity for his fans and grain bins in that area. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if there were any questions of Mr. Hauer. Comm. Christensen stated that her real concern was what impact this might have on neighbors, although she is not sure who is in a site line of this structure. She stated another concern is that there is a deck on it. She stated it doesn't bother Meeting of the Page - 7 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7 , 1993 her that there is electricity, because people can have electricity in a shed if they want to. Mr. Hauer stated that the deck came with it. Comm. Christensen stated that she didn't know how big the deck is or whether it should be dismantled. She stated if the City were to inspect it and make sure that it was gutted, and it wasn't an eyesore for the neighbors, and it conformed with size and setbacks, that she doesn't know why this wouldn't be o.k. Comm. Christensen stated that what we are allowed to keep in our yard ought to be looked at sometime by the Planning Commission. She has neighbors with two trucks in their back yard, and storage sheds with stuff all around. For her the issue is what kind of an eyesore is it for neighbors. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier stated that Comm. Christensen might want to ask if there have been any complaints about the appearance. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked the City Planner if there have been any complaints about the appearance of this trailer. The City Planner stated that to his knowledge, there have been no complaints against the structure to the City Hall. Comm. Christensen asked how close the nearest neighbor is. The City Planner stated that there is some distance and it is basically an open space. The City Planner stated one of the other alternatives listed in the staff report is to continue the public hearing to allow the applicant and staff to provide additional information. It may be something for the board to consider. He stated in terms of an inspection of the property they could set up a time frame where the property owner and the applicant and the building inspector could go through that structure at one time. It may provide them with some more information as to what is going on with that structure. The City Planner apologized for not having that information at the meeting at this time. He stated that it might be something worth while getting. He stated one of the main concerns that was identified is that the secondary residence is a real concern for the City. In the RTD District it is something that has to be closely administered. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked Mr. Hauer if the application is intended to be for a year to year waiver, and not a permit for a five year waiver. Meeting of the Page - 8 Board of Adjustment and Appeals January 7, 1993 Mr. Hauer replied, yes. Motion: Comm. Christensen/Zak moved to continue the public hearing until the February 4 , 1993 , meeting. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Comm. Christensen stated that maybe they could direct staff to take a look at where this is on the property in terms of the site lines of those buildings across the street. If they're looking at Al's Landscape they're looking at commercial property in a sense. She stated she would just ask that they be cognizant of the affect this might have on the neighbors as they look at other aspects of the property. Vice Chrmn. Spurrier asked if there was any further discussion. There was no response. Motion: Zak/Madigan moved to adjourn. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. VI. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8 : 00 p.m. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION Regular Session Shakopee, Minnesota January 7, 1993 MEMBERS PRESENT: Christensen, Madigan, Zak, Joos, Spurrier, Kelly MEMBERS ABSENT: Mars STAFF PRESENT: Lindberg Ekola, City Planner Paul Kewitsch, Planning Intern Nancy Deziel, Recording Secretary I. ROLL CALL Chrmn. Joos called the meeting to order at 8 : 00 p.m. The roll call was taken as noted above. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was approved as presented. III. APPROVAL OF THE DECEMBER 3, 1992, MEETING MINUTES The minutes were approved as presented. IV. RECOGNITION OF INTERESTED CITIZENS Chrmn. Joos recognized anyone in the audience wishing to speak on any item not on the agenda. There was no response. V. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CHURCH IN MAPLE TRAILS 1ST ADDITION. Chrmn. Joos opened the public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a church in Maple Trails Addition, in the Rural Residential (R-1) district. The City Planner stated that Richard Salden, Chairman for the Cross of Peace Lutheran Church has submitted an application for the church in the R-1 district. The proposed church site is located east of County Road 17 and south of the future extension of the Wood Duck Trail. He stated that on the bulletin board is a site plan as well as zoning maps and area maps, and the subdivision plat for Maple Trails Estates. He stated that the subdivision plat for Maple Trails was approved by the City Council back in September of last year. This plat is not recorded as of yet. One of the conditions of the subdivision plat involved limiting traffic on Wood Duck Trail. He stated as members of the Planning Commission will remember, Minutes of the Page - 2 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 there was quite a bit of discussion about Wood Duck Trail being an over length cul-de-sac, and the process required in order to get that particular subdivision plat approved. The condition limited the amount of traffic volume to 80 Average Daily Traffic or ADT on that lot. A traffic analysis was performed for the proposed church by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch. In their review of the traffic analysis, they are recommending a condition that no more than two services per Sunday be permitted, and that no more than three services or church events be scheduled Monday-Saturday. Condition No. 3 of the final plat for Maple Trails had a limitation in terms of when Building Permits could be released. This statement says that the applicant shall dedicate and construct Wood Duck Trail and Hohenstein Court prior to the release of any building permits within the plat in order to provide adequate access for the ten acre exception parcel surrounded by the Maple Trails subdivision. The condition states that no Building Permits will be released for buildings within Phase 1 of Maple Trails Estates until after the road has been dedicated and constructed. Staff will be making a recommendation towards the end of this presentation in reference to that condition. It has to do with recommending an amendment of the condition of the plat approval to the City Council to allow for the Building Permit for the church to be released prior to the construction. In addition, there is a need for a drainage easement to be dedicated and a detention pond to be constructed on the property. The developer of Maple Trails currently owns all the properties. The church is acquiring this particular lot. The property owner of Outlot A would need to construct the drainage pond and also dedicate an easement for drainage purposes. The City Planner stated that one point brought up by the fire chief had to do with a fire lane access around the building. It's not clear as to what the specific requirements of that are. Staff is recommending that the applicants, their design team, and staff meet together before the Building Permit is released to go over those issues. He stated staff has received letters of support for the church, and at this point and time have received no opposition for the church. He stated staff is recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the church, subject to five conditions. The action requested is to offer Resolution No. 651 and move its adoption. He stated the church has several representatives present. He added that on the table, titled, "Proposed Amendment Condition No. 3 Resolution No. 3650" , is a statement that in addition to the recommended action, a second action should be taken by the Planning Commission. It is to recommend to the City Council that Condition No. 3 of the final plat for Maple Trails Estates be amended. Reading it for the record it states: Minutes of the Page - 3 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 "The building permit for the church proposed on Lot 1, Block 2 may be released after the recording of the plat of Maple Trails Estates 1st Addition and submittal of the required financial guarantees for the street construction. The certificate of occupancy for the church shall not be released until the City accepts Wood Duck Trail and Hohenstein Court. " Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any questions for staff. Comm. Christensen asked if the City Planner could describe a little bit about the parking. She stated she had some concerns about this proposal because she lives near a church and the parking is diagonal; and, in her opinion, sort of dangerous at night coming down the street. She stated also that particular church has plowed up some of their back yard for an additional parking lot, and somehow or another they have gotten by without any trees or shrubs to shield that from the street. She stated that while in her opinion it' s not a nuisance, having more cars parking there is, in her opinion, a problem. She requested that the City Planner explain how this would be. The City Planner stated that there would be 38 off street parking stalls required and there would be 59 parking stalls provided, so there is an adequate surplus of parking stalls for this particular site. Comm. Christensen asked if it was in a parking lot. The City Planner replied, yes. He also stated the site plan illustrates where the parking will be located. He stated this particular property is a very large piece of property. There is ample room for parking on the site. He stated there would be no off street parking needed because they have adequate on- site parking. He stated there may be a certain amount of congestion, and possibly traffic hazards, in the morning when you get a large group of people coming to the site at one time. Comm. Christensen asked if the City is requiring plants along the street, or if the blacktop goes right to the curb. The City Planner stated that the blacktop will not go right to the street, but it is set back from the property line. There is a large grassy or landscaped area between the future Wood Duck Trail and the parking lot. Comm. Christensen stated that she thinks it would look better if, instead of the black top going to the curb, that there be a strip of boulevard with some trees, because they do require that of their commercial properties. Minutes of the Page - 4 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 The City Planner stated that the applicants are proposing trees along the south property line at a spacing of 1 every 50 feet. Other landscaping along the property is not identified. He stated they could ask the applicants if they have further information on how they plan to landscape the property. Comm. Spurrier stated that with nonresidential uses, an important factor is the P.M. or A.M. peak traffic, or that surge which really creates the worst conditions. He stated this report minimizes the potential impact of sewage waste that would be generated by this site. He stated if the facility proposes a kitchen serving any kind of food to a group, then there is potential for something other than normal domestic waste. He also stated concern about the heavy soil in this particular area. The City Planner stated that in reference to the second item that Comm. Spurrier expressed, the outside septic concerns, that the applicants may have some comments in response to outside septic demands. Second, he stated they have quite a large piece of property. He stated there is a tremendous amount of area on that property that is not covered by building or parking lot, so there is a lot of area for a septic field to be constructed. He also stated that the building official did review the Conditional Use Permit and did not find anything out of the ordinary on the septic system. The City Planner stated that as far as the traffic is concerned the applicant may want to respond, but often times church services are not going to be at those peak periods. He stated the traffic conditions were looked over by their consultants and it was not a concern on their part. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any more questions of staff. Comm. Zak stated that he doesn't feel that the traffic or the septic system will be a problem. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any more questions of staff. There were none. Chrmn. Joos asked if the applicant would like to come forward. Ed Kodet, Kodet Architectural Group, 15 Groveland Terrace, Minneapolis, introduced Rick Salden, the chairperson of the Building Committee, and Pastor Tom Reiner. Ed Kodet stated that in terms of any kind of demands for waste, churches are one of the least demanding. He also stated the kitchen is designed as a catering kitchen so that it will accommodate large groups of people at one sitting. He stated that the church members are very interested in landscaping. He stated in reference to the fire access road, that he would like to Minutes of the Page - 5 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 see that amended because he feels there is adequate access through the back door in the kitchen and also the front entry way. He stated that his request is that the architect and the owners sit down with the fire marshal and work out their needs for that fire access road. Comm. Spurrier asked where the trees are on the south side. Tom Reiner, 1173 South Monroe, Shakopee, stated that the person they are purchasing the land from is also one of their members. He stated that the land owner has many trees and they are going to be taking them. He stated that he has access to a spade truck and they will be replanting the trees to their new site. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any other questions. Comm. Zak stated that in regard to the fire access road, the applicants might want to discuss that with the insurance people to find out what they think so that they won't have any trouble getting insured. Ed Kodet thanked Comm. Zak for the suggestion. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any other questions for the applicant. There was no response. Chrmn. Joos stated that in regard to the comment that Comm. Christensen made about on street parking, if they had anything allowing street parking on that side of the street. Mr. Kodet stated there is no intent, nor would it be convenient to provide on-street parking. He stated there is more than ample space to expand the parking lot if need be. Chrmn. Joos asked what kind of expansion they see of the facility and the parking areas in the future. Mr. Kodet stated that the facility has been organized so that future expansion could occur, although expansion isn't necessarily needed due to increased membership. Chrmn. Joos stated that the expansion of the sewage site will also need to be possible. Mr. Kodet stated that they are not going to lock anything off from future expansion. Chrmn. Joos question whether an expansion would present a problem as far as traffic in that area. Minutes of the Page - 6 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 The City Planner stated that the condition for the limitation of traffic is tied in with the subdivision plat. Once the subdivision plat is connected to the east, it will become a part of the overall street patterns within the City. It will no longer be a dead end cul-de-sac. Wood Duck Trail would become connected with the rest of the City streets. That would minimize the traffic problem. Chrmn. Joos questioned if what the City Planner was saying is that the road possibly could connect to County Road 42 , so there would be another access out of that subdivision. The City Planner stated that is correct. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any more questions. Comm. Kelly asked if the church facility was going to be used for any type of Montessori School, or any type of Monday through Friday education. Mr. Kodet replied, no. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any more questions. Comm. Spurrier asked if the building would be vacant except for the three weekday and two Sunday services. Mr. Kodet stated that there is a small office space for Pastor Tom's ministry. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any more questions. There were none. Chrmn. Joos reminded the audience that this is a public hearing and asked if anyone else would like to address the Planning Commission on the issue, either for or against, to please come forward and state their name and address for the record. Jim Sorenson, 2585 Marshall Road, owner of the ten acre exception, stated that he would also like to endorse the amendment that the City Planner referred to. Chrmn. Joos suggested the City Planner read the Proposed Amendment into the record. The City Planner read the Proposed Amendment into the record as follows: "The building permit for the church proposed on Lot 1, Block 2 may be released after the recording of the plat of Maple Minutes of the Page - 7 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 Trails Estates 1st Addition and submittal of the required financial guarantees for the street construction. The certificate of occupancy for the church shall not be released until the City accepts Wood Duck Trail and Hohenstein Court. " Chrmn. Joos reminded everyone that this is a public hearing and asked if anyone else would like to address the Planning Commission on this issue. Kermit Bischoff, 2421 County Rd. 42 , stated that he lives directly east of the Hohenstein Development. He stated he would just like to make sure that he does not get any more water. He wants to be sure that the holding ponds are going to be adequate. He noted that he had resolved the drainage problem on his property and requested that his testimony be made a part of the record. The City Planner stated this is one of the conditions in the Conditional Use Permit. It would be requiring that a drainage easement be dedicated and the construction of a detention pond on the property owned by Mr. Hohenstein, south of the church lot. He stated that, basically, the water flow patterns are coming from the northwest and working towards the southeast in the front area of the subdivision plat. What is being required is a detention pond to hold back water on Outlot A, on Mr. Hohenstein's property. He has indicated his willingness to do that. Before the release of the building permit, the City will need to have the necessary dedication of easements and the construction of that detention pond to provide for control. In a sense, there is a shared system of storm water management, and it's something that the City Engineer has worked with the developer of Maple Trails and his engineering staff in order to come up with a design for this area. Those water problems are being addressed and those rates will not exceed what has been approved in the grading and drainage plans. Chrmn. Joos stated that this is a public hearing and asked if anyone else would like to address the Planning Commission on this issue. There was no response. Chrmn. Joos asked if any of the Planning Commission members had any questions or comments regarding this issue. Comm. Spurrier stated that he would like to have Condition No. 2 read that the applicant shall meet the requirement of the uniform fire code showing that they had a particular interest in that when issuing a Conditional Use Permit in a remote area but leave it to the fire marshall to cover the specific Minutes of the Page - 8 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 requirements that the applicant must meet. The City Planner stated that the comments raised by Comm. Spurrier were very accurate. He stated there is a history of the City of Shakopee in trying to administer Conditional Use Permits, Rezoning Applications, and a variety of other things to the Planning Department. A history of trying to identify and be exhausted about the various conditions that should apply to the property. Because they have in the past included some code requirements and perhaps not made statements a little bit more generalized. He stated he thinks the wording that's being suggested by Comm. Spurrier is one very workable, and one they will try to work towards with standard conditions such as what they talked about earlier in the meeting. He stated they have to take a close look at how the conditions are stated, and not to become too specific, nor too general. The City Planner stated the important point is the project will need to meet the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code. He stated he feels that is the intent of what the Fire Chief was getting at. Chrmn. Joos asked the representative for the applicant if that was alright with him. Mr. Kodet replied that he thought that was an excellent suggestion. Motion: Zak/Madigan moved to close the public hearing. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to offer Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. PC-651 and move its adoption. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Chrmn. Joos reminded everyone of the seven day appeal process in which they would have seven days to appeal the decision to the City Council. Chrmn. Joos stated the next action requested is the Proposed Amendment No. 3 for the final plat. Motion: Spurrier/Zak moved to reconsider the approval of Maple Trails Estate First Edition. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Motion: Spurrier/Zak moved to amend Condition No. 3 of Resolution No. 3650, approving the final plat of Maple Trails Minutes of the Page - 9 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 Estate, to read "The building permit for the church proposed on Lot 1, Block 2 may be released after the recording of the plat of Maple Trails Estates 1st Addition and submittal of the required financial guarantees for the street construction. The certificate of occupancy for the church shall not be released until the City accepts Wood Duck Trail and Hohenstein Court. " Vote: Motion carried unanimously. The City Planner stated that the major concern was the release of the building permit in response to that very specific statement in the final plat resolution. VI. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE OPERATION OF A BED AND BREAKFAST AT 134 E. 4TH AVE. Chrmn. Joos opened the public hearing to consider a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a Bed and Breakfast at 134 E. 4th Ave. , in the Urban Residential (R-2) district. The City Planner stated that the applicant has submitted a thorough description of the proposed operation for review. It is included with the staff report. The operation is within the R-2 , Urban Residential, zoned area. The applicant is present to make a brief presentation regarding her proposal. On the west wall is a location of that property. It is on the southwest corner of Lewis Street and Fourth Avenue and it is a single family residence with a detached garage. He stated with that staff is recommending approval of the permit subject to eight conditions. He stated the applicant is present and has a presentation to make to the Planning Commission. Comm. Spurrier asked if the Planning Commission approved this as a Bed and Breakfast once before. Karen Wallerius, 134 4th Ave. E. , stated that in reference to Comm. Spurrier's question, when she came to the City to go through paper work that concerned the property, Terrie Sandbeck, Assistant City Planner, pulled a file on the house. Karen stated that she had heard before she purchased the house, that this had been discussed, but she didn't know if it had been approved. She stated it was approved five years ago according to the information in the file, but then the people who applied for that permit never went through with the idea. Comm. Christensen stated that she has a concern about signage. She stated that it looks as if the applicant is asking for a two square foot, free standing ground sign, plus a sign at the entrance. Comm. Christensen stated this is a residential area Minutes of the Page - 10 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 and that she has a problem with that. She stated she doesn't have any problem with it except for the signage, and she doesn't understand why they are allowing signage in a residential area. She stated that if they have an ordinance on it, she is going to request that they bring it up. The City Planner stated that in response to Comm. Christensen's concerns, it certainly is very important that signage in the urban area, as well as anywhere in the City of Shakopee, must be done in an appropriate way. He stated that the Sign Ordinance is one of the most current and updated ordinances, because it was reviewed in 1988 and 1989 . He stated one of the provisions is that there be an allowance for some very minor signage for home occupations and Bed and Breakfasts, in the residential district. The staff report is identifying that what's being proposed does in fact meet the ordinance. If they came in for a permit, they would be granted that permit. That was the recognition of something that has recently been reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council in terms of the sign ordinance. Comm. Christensen questioned if she had a choice to oppose it if it meets an ordinance. The City Planner stated that if an applicant of a property were to come forward and meet those ordinance requirements in the residential district for signage, staff would be obligated to sign off on that permit. Comm. Zak stated that if the sign is done tastefully, it shouldn't present a problem. Comm. Spurrier stated that he recalls seeing another Bed and Breakfast in the community with a very tastefully done free standing sign. He stated that it is difficult to locate a Bed and Breakfast facility if you're in a strange community without some sort of a sign. He stated that he feels a free standing sign two square feet is not obtrusive. Comm. Christensen stated that she stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Stillwater and they just had to find the address on a residential street. She stated that at the end of the meeting or when they go through their planning she would ask to have the ordinances reviewed because if everyone did that, say if you had a shoe repair, a Bed and Breakfast, etc. etc. , then you would have a neighborhood that has turned commercial; so, again, she would request that they go back and take a look at this ordinance. Chrmn. Joos questioned if two square feet of free standing ground sign is allowed in the ordinance as a permanent sign or Minutes of the Page - 11 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 just a temporary sign like one would have if they were selling their home. The City Planner stated that he understands the ordinance to allow for a permanent sign. Chrmn. Joos stated that he would like to double check that just to be sure. Comm. Spurrier asked if that is the same square footage allowed for a home occupation. The City Planner stated yes it is. Comm. Spurrier asked if the applicant had a beauty shop in the home if they could put a sign out advertising a beauty shop. The City Planner stated that they could as well as the neighbors in the adjacent properties. Comm. Christensen stated that it isn't just because it's a Bed and Breakfast that bothers her, it's the sign in a residential area. Chrmn. Joos stated that they would discuss it further at the end of the meeting. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any more questions of staff. There were none. Chrmn. Joos asked if the applicant would like to address the Planning Commission on this issue. Ms. Wallerius stated that she would like to put peoples fears about the sign to rest because whatever is appropriate and approved is what she will do. She stated that the Assistant City Planner told her a 2 X 2 foot sign is allowed so that is what she proposed and used for an example. She stated she may not in fact use a sign that size but used that size as an example. She stated that again the sign would be done tastefully. Ms. Wallerius stated that if she could not have a free standing sign, another idea would be to put a sign on the wall next to the front porch. Ms. Wallerius stated that she does feel it is important for the Commissioners to recognize these types of homes in their community and to allow people to offer them to the public because there are not many of them left. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any questions for Ms. Wallerius. There were none. Minutes of the Page - 12 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 Chrmn. Joos stated this is a public hearing and asked if anyone else would like to address the Planning Commission on this issue. There was no response. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to close the public hearing. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Motion: Zak/Spurrier moved to offer Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. PC-652 and move its adoption. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Chrmn. Joos reminded everyone of the seven day appeal period in which anyone could appeal this decision to the City Council. VII. SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT: TO CONSIDER A REQUEST TO BE RELEASED FROM A SIDEWALK REQUIREMENT. Chrmn. Joos stated that they have a letter on the table in regards to the sidewalk requirement submitted by Jon Albinson and asked that a copy of the letter be submitted into the record as an exhibit. (See Attachment 1) The City Planner stated that the letter from Mr. Albinson is based on a discussion the staff had with Mr. Albinson and he is agreeing with staff's recommendation to table that review of the developer's agreement and the final plat resolution condition until such time that the East Shakopee Transportation Study can be completed. The City Planner stated that at the Tuesday City Council meeting the Council approved the hiring of Strgar-Roscoe- Fausch to prepare that East Shakopee Transportation plan. He stated they hope they can get that to the Planning Commission for review by mid-year. The intent of the East Shakopee Transportation Study is to try to better understand now that they have the regional transportation projects under way for construction what does the City have to do in order to take the traffic from those regional systems and handle that traffic within those city streets. The City Planner stated there are several different areas where they have some real problems and they need to take a good close look at it and the intent in that report is to get someone who understands Scott County and understands Shakopee and the City Council agreed with that recommendation and has hired SRF. Chrmn. Joos asked the City Planner if Mr. Albinson wanted them to table a discussion on it. Minutes of the Page - 13 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 The City Planner stated that is correct. Chrmn. Joos asked if it would be better just to take a motion now and table it and leave discussion to a later date. The City Planner replied yes. Motion: Zak/Christensen moved to table. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. VIII.REVIEW: ONE WAY SWEEPING, INC. - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The City Planner stated that the site that is under review is located south of 13th Ave. and east of County Road 18 . He stated that a Conditional Use Permit was approved for the site back in May of 1991, subject to 14 conditions. The owners have not yet completed all the necessary site improvements. They have received various permits from the City in addition to the Conditional Use Permit, but have not completed all those improvements. Due to the incomplete status of the construction and now the winter weather on us, they have not been able to complete those improvements. Staff is recommending that the Commissioners table this to the meeting in May. This would allow the owners additional time to complete the required improvements so that they could operate the facility. If at the May meeting, as noted in the staff report, those items are not completed, staff would be recommending revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. Chrmn. Joos asked if there were any questions of staff. Motion: Spurrier/Zak moved to table the review of the permit until the May, 1993 , meeting. Chrmn. Joos asked if there was any further discussion. Comm. Kelly stated that this was becoming as habitual as Robert's Rules of Order. He stated he would like to see it go past. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. IX. OTHER BUSINESS: 1993 PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM The City Planner stated that since a motion was not offered to recommend approval of the work program to City Council, staff is bringing the item back to offer a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of the 1993 work program as drafted, and move its approval. Minutes of the Page - 14 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 Motion: Kelly/Zak moved to recommend to the City Council to approve the work program as submitted. The City Planner stated that the City Attorney received authority from the City Council to sign the necessary documents to hire a consultant for the zoning ordinance update. At that point in time, they will bring up a review of the sign ordinance requirements in the residential districts. Comm. Christensen asked if that meant they would be doing it this year. The City Planner replied yes. Comm. Christensen stated that she does not have a desire to review all the sign ordinances but in residential districts she feels it is appropriate. Comm. Spurrier stated that he was real disappointed when they got a form a meeting or so ago and there was a question about whether the form was cast in stone or whether they could suggest some changes to the form, and they had a years supply of them. He stated that this study is one that has a major affect on this Commission and if the City values the input of this Committee, he suggests that whoever administers this contract identify some milestone points at which they provide that study document to this Commission for review and comment. He stated he feels the people here are well dedicated and would make an effort to provide valued comment on that document, and he would like to see that on all those under takings that they see it as it is forming and have an opportunity to comment on it. Chrmn. Joos asked if there was any further discussion. There was none. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS: UPDATED PUD APPLICATION PACKETS The City Planner stated that they are requesting two items for review and comments. He thanked everyone for their comments and opened it up to additional comments. He stated that staff is looking for a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the complete submittal policy similar to what was done for the other application packets that they brought to the Planning Commission three or four months ago. He stated that this is a format in which a developer can be held accountable for the information that needs to be submitted, as well as the City. It's a two-way dialogue between what they think is necessary for information for the Planning Commission and City Council Minutes of the Page - 15 Shakopee Planning Commission January 7, 1993 to review, and for developer to provide. He stated if there are any changes any suggestions to please let them know. He stated they intend to bring this to the City Council on the 19th of January. Motion: Zak/Spurrier moved to recommend to the City Council the approval of the Planned Unit Development Application Packets. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. Motion: Christensen/Zak moved to adjourn. Vote: Motion carried unanimously. X.

Scott County's strategic proximity to the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the major transportation projects currently underway will combine to enhance economic development in Scott County. Scott County's location within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area also affords numerous opportunities for higher education,employ- ment and recreation as well as being a premier entertainment destination. Local governmental units,financing institutions and development interests have joined together to form the Scott County Economic Development Coalition to assist economic development prospects and encourage busi- ness retention.The Coalition has created this Economic Resource profile as a brief snapshot of the progressive nature of our area and its potential for development. It is designed to provide you with an overview of Scott County,as well as a close-up of each community and its individual character. In the early 1800s,when the first steamboat chugged up the Minnesota River,Chief Shakopee's village was its destination. It was as excellent a location then as it is now. The rich lands along the river sheltered the Dakota people for hundreds of years, and new businesses were already offering services to the immigrants who would settle here. Some of the great names in Minnesota history,Pond &Fairbault,had already discov- ered what the Dakota had known for a long time. The rich valley offered everything—ready transportation, rich agricultural lands,and a peaceful,plentiful place in which to live. Today,over 58,000 residents and a multitude of businesses enjoy the amenities which first served to attract commerce to Scott County. The Scott County Economic Development Coalition looks forward to visiting with you to discuss the ser- vices that we have to offer in greater detail. We are confident that you will find Scott County to be a first rate choice in locating your new business facility.We look forward to meeting and working with you to locate your facility in the proper location that will ensure growth and success for your business and a quality lifestyle for your employees.
