RAHR MALTING CO.
SINCE 1847
800 WEST FIRST AVENUE,SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA 55379, PHONE 612/445-1431
July 3, 1995
Mr. Russ Felt
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
Water Quality Division
520 Lafayette Road
St. Paul, Minnesota 55155
Dear Mr. Felt,
On behalf of Rahr Malting Co., I want to thank you for organizing our meeting on
June 27, 1995. We at Rahr understand the MPCA's concern for our request for a permit
to discharge to the Minnesota River and also appreciate the difficult position that our
request may cause. We also hope that the MPCA staff can appreciate our position as it
relates to the high cost of wastewater treatment and the fact that our competitors have
either lower rates or they operate their own waste water treatment facility. To remain
competitive and a worldwide malting company, we are forced to expand capacity and
continually control our costs. The cost associated with waste water treatment is not under
our control.
We have been informed that water quality problems on the river do not originate at point
sources such as the MCWS facilities. The load allocation indicates that even without the
point sources on the river, dissolved oxygen problems exist. The conditions in the
Minnesota River are not caused by our presence. From our perception it would appear
that Rahr is being held accountable for the non-point sources that the MPCA, admittedly,
is only now addressing.
It is difficult for us to understand that there are no rules, procedures or guidelines that we
can follow in an effort to obtain a permit to discharge. Unfortunately, our competitors do
not have this situation. As we alluded, Rahr Malting could relocate this new capacity to
North Dakota without the restrictions we face in Minnesota.
We want to remain in Minnesota and to continue to be the largest malting facility in the
world. Therefore, we are interested in exploring any means to address your concerns and
keep our facility on track. The concerns must be addressed in a fair, practical and
realistic method.
MINNEAPOLIS,MINNESOTA•SHAKOPEE,MINNESOTA
It is our understanding that it is the position of the MPCA staff that Rahr will not be
granted a permit unless a reduction in point or nonpoint source pollution load, equal to
our proposed discharge loadings, accompanies the permit approval. That would either be
a reduction in allocated load (to the MCWS) or a reduction in the background load.
Rahr Malting has agreed to work with the MPCA to explore alternatives to reduce
background loading that could allow us to construct our own wastewater treatment
system. HDR Engineering will be contacting Mr. Wayne Anderson to review these
options.
As we discussed at our meeting, Rahr has been a good corporate citizen in the state of
Minnesota since 1930. We cannot continue to be burdened with uncompetetive costs
from wastewater treatment if we are to continue to expand in Minnesota. We are
confident that the MPCA will help us develop an acceptable solution to our situation.
Sincerely yours,
RAHR MALTING CO.

VIII. PUBLIC HEARING/CONTINUED: TO CONSIDER THE PRELIMINARY PLAT
FOR MEADOWS NORTH, LOCATED EAST OF CR 77, NORTH AND WEST OF
THE PROPOSED FULLER STREET EXTENSION
The Assistant City Planner stated that Gold Nugget Development, Inc. is requesting
approval of the preliminary plat for The Meadows North. At the public hearing on June
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 3
8th, there were a number of concerns raised by neighboring residents to the Planning
Commission, and the public hearing was continued to tonight's meeting. The staff memo
contains information regarding the extension of Hennes Avenue to Thomas Avenue, the
extension of the alleys, the Fuller Street realignment, garages facing Apgar Street,
maximum block length, and pedestrian access.
The applicant is hoping to obtain direction from the Planning Commission regarding the
issues raised at the June meeting. The applicant will be redesigning the plat based upon
the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
In response to a concern from Commissioner DuBois, The Acting Planning Director stated
that the function of 10th Avenue and Fuller would be as collector streets. We would want
these streets to be used,as well as Vierling. We don't want people to cut through on
Hennes and Thomas.
The Staff Engineer stated that Vierling Drive would be used when it has been completed.
It is in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and will be completed within the next few
years.
The Acting Planning Director stated that all the areas up to the collector were reviewed,
and we are looking at serving this area.
Commissioner DuBois asked if Apgar would run south of this development to CR 78.
The Staff Engineer stated that the extension of Fuller Street will curve down to CR 77 and
tie in to CR 78.
Commissioner DuBois asked what the plans are for CR 77; would it be two lanes? The
Staff Engineer stated that it would be a collector street.
Commissioner Mars asked if trail connections are being considered. The Assistant City
Planner stated that there aren't any additional trails proposed, but the Commission could
recommend that the applicant provide trails between lots.
Commissioner Joos asked where the best location would be for trails. The Acting
Planning Director stated that a lot would depend on whether a street is put in to access
Thomas Avenue. He noted a location for a trail location between two lots.
Commissioner Mars discussed concerns about kids accessing the trail rather than using the
streets and cut through traffic. The Acting Planning Director stated that in cases of
vacated right-of-way, the property owners would fence or landscape to prevent that.
Commissioner Joos identified possible street connections.
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 4
Commissioner DuBois asked if an option is to have Apgar remain open. The Staff
Engineer stated that with the construction of Fuller Street, there is no plan to have Apgar
come and intersect with Fuller. He discussed traffic restraints, noting that it made for a
dangerous situation.
Commissioner Bladow suggested an extension from Thomas to the intersection of Scott
and Apgar between Lots 15 and 23. The Acting Planning Director stated that this would
be a possible consideration. It was the Commission's recommendation to the developer to
consider a north/south intersection.
Commissioners discussed the need for a trail in this area as well.
Commissioner Mars stated that a proper trail connection is necessary in this area in order
to continue on the west side.
Commissioner Joos believed that the streets would be sufficient.
Commissioner Mars agreed, but stated that users will not go north in order to come south
again.
Commissioner DuBois agreed.
Commissioner Link asked what would happen when the trail exits at Fuller. He cited
safety concerns. The Staff Engineer noted that a sidewalk is proposed on the west side of
Fuller, and a bike lane is proposed on the east side. Traffic control is proposed on
Thomas Avenue, which will line up with the direct access to the proposed Community
Center. The Staff Engineer stated that the current ordinance does not allow bikes to be
used on sidewalks. If a bike trail is proposed, we will need to review the redesign of
Fuller Street.
Commissioner Madigan believed that a trail needs to be provided for a reasonable access
to the Community Center. She stated that it is difficult to ride bikes on a collector street.
Commissioner Joos suggested that staff revisit the design issue. The Staff Engineer stated
that a solution would be a sidewalk rather than a bike trail through the lots in Apgar and
Fuller. If there is a street connection between Apgar and Thomas, this would be another
possibility.
Leon Opatz, Pioneer Engineering stated that they would not be opposed to constructing a
bituminous path between the lots or opposed to connecting Hennes and Thomas. He
understood that the City Council is considering increasing the maximum block length. He
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 5
believed that there would be a better traffic flow connecting Hennes and Thomas.
Commissioner Mars asked how a child would access the Community Center from Hennes.
Opatz replied that they would probably cut through a yard.
Commissioner Joos stated that the real issue is whether the street should go through there
or not.
Commissioner Bladow asked why the connection between Thomas, Scott and Apgar is
not the preference. Opatz replied that people need to be directed out of the subdivisions
to the collector street. They would be taken more onto minor streets with the Thomas,
Scott and Apgar connection.
Commissioner DuBois asked if the developers were originally opposed to extending
Apgar to the south or if it was a planning decision. Opatz stated that they were given
direction by staff that Apgar would be vacated with the completion of the Fuller Street
realignment.
Harold Armstrong, 1044 Fuller Street asked if a decision has been made to vacate Apgar
Street. The Staff Engineer stated that there has not been a decision, but noted that the
City will take ownership from the county after the Fuller Street realignment has been
completed. Armstrong was concerned that we might be painting ourselves into a corner
by making decisions on this subdivision. The Acting Planning Director stated that one of
the recommended conditions is that the plat would be contingent upon the approval of the
vacation of Apgar. Armstrong was concerned about the six homes between 10th and 11th
are being sacrificed for the greater good of the whole.
Leon Menke, 1185 Shumway stated that his greatest concern is that the half of Apgar
Street that he will get back will not be developable due to easements and power lines. He
stated that it doesn't make sense that you continue to go from one plan to another. He
discussed concerns about bicyclists in the area. His main concern is what he will be able
to do with the land, as well as assessments on Fuller Street.
Jean Marschall, 600 Hennes stated that she doesn't care to drive a bit farther. She
discussed her concerns about routing traffic out of the way to get where she wants to go.
She believed that there should be a gradual change from one development to the other
rather than a complete change. She asked that Apgar be kept open. She stated that she
believed that the only benefit would be to the developer; current residents do not want it
closed. She stated that there should be two accesses to the Community Center.
Rose Geis, 528 Thomas stated that she is concerned about getting back the land if Apgar
is closed and having to pay taxes for unusable property. She was concerned about the
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 6
number of dead end roads and preferred that Apgar stay open for the benefit of the entire
City.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Madigan offered a motion to continue the public hearing to
the August 3, 1995, meeting.
Commissioner Joos stated that the developer needs to look at the vacation of Apgar a lot
more than has been done in the past.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
IX. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER TEXT AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 11
OF THE SHAKOPEE CITY CODE (ZONING ORDINANCE)(ORDINANCE NO.
377 WHICH WAS ADOPTED ON JUNE 7, 1994).
The Assistant City Planner stated that Fischer Aggregates is requesting an amendment to
Section 11.88, Subd. 2(S) regarding specific standards for conditional use permits for
mining. This section specifically states that applicants "Shall provide the City with the
following maps of the entire site and all areas within 500 feet of the site drawn at a scale
of one (1) inch to one hundred (100)feet. This requirement was adopted in 1979. The
applicant is requesting that this requirement be reduced from "all areas within 500 feet" to
"all areas within 100 feet".
There was no staff recommendation provided in the staff memo because this is a policy
issue. Staff would like to stress that this requirement was looked at and discussed within
the past year with the update of the Zoning Ordinance. During this process, it was
recommended that this submittal requirement not be amended. She stated, however, that
the Planning Commission could recommend an alternative submittal requirement to the
City Council.
Mars asked if others have been required to do this as well. The Assistant City Planner
replied that this has been a requirement since 1979.
John Voss, Planning Consultant stated that if this had been required in 1984 during the
time of the preparation of the Merrila project, topography information would be available
for their use. This requirement was not applied in that instance. He believed that it was
inconsistent that mining and residential development have different requirements. He
stated that more topography is being required than are acres included in the site. He
explained the difficulties of obtaining aerial topographies of the site during this time of
year. He didn't believe that it would serve any purpose to provide the topographies.
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 7
Commissioner Joos noted that Lakeville and Scott County have 350' requirements. Voss
stated that he believed that Lakeville only requires 100'. Kirsten Rojina discussed Scott
County requirements.
Staff Engineer Dave Nummer discussed Engineering Staffs concerns for the 500'
requirement. He stated that the 500' would not be necessary, and flexibility is a possibility.
Commissioner Joos asked if the 10' contours are needed. The Staff Engineer replied that
the 10' contours would not provide the needed accuracy.
Beverly Koehnen, 2036 Canterbury Road stated that the portion of the ordinance should
not be amended. She discussed the City's history with dealing with gravel pits in 1979.
She reviewed the layout of the site. She stated that Shakopee is unique with three river
valleys running through it, which prompts the need for the 500' requirement. She
concurred with the decision made in 1979 for the 500' requirement.
Koehnen noted that the area to the south of the mine is the most well hidden drainage area
in the county, and can get to a depth of nine feet.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Bladow offered a motion to close the public hearing.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Comm. DuBois asked the City Engineer if the present ordinance would allow for the
engineer to make a determination if a change can be made to the distance. The Staff
Engineer replied that the ordinance requirement is currently 500', but it does not allow
flexibility for the City Engineer to require more or less.
Commissioners discussed allowing flexibility for the City Engineer to determine whether
500' or less would be required.
Commissioners and staff discussed circumstances where 100' would be an adequate
requirement.
Motion: Commissioner DuBois/Link offered a motion to recommend alternative #3.B,
requiring topographic information within 100' for all applications, and within 500' when
the City Engineer determines it is necessary.
Commissioner Mars stated that there are three mines in town, and they are treated like
houses. He didn't agree with this policy.
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 8
Vote: Ayes - 3. Nays - 3. Motion failed
Motion: Commissioner Bladow offered a motion to recommend alternative no. 1,
that it remain as written, and not be amended. Motion died for lack of a
second.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Madigan offered a motion to require submittal
requirements for topographic information for 300' for all mines, with
further topographical information to be provided at discretion of the City
Engineer.
Commissioner Link asked what significance the 300' would be if it is still up to the City
Engineer to make the decision. He believed that the Commission was just looking for a
number that would pass.
Commissioner Madigan stated that the 300' is more consistent with Scott County.
Vote: Ayes - 3. Nays - 3. Motion failed.
Motion: Commissioner Madigan/DuBois to offer a motion to recommend
alternative 3.B, to require topographical information within 100' and
require that the City Engineer use the appropriate discretion to require
more information in order to evaluate the potential impact on neighbors.
Vote: Ayes - Madigan, Mars, Joos and DuBois. Nays - Link and Bladow.
Motion carried.
X. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT TO
REZONE 4.07 ACRES LOCATED AT 1760 4TH AVENUE EAST FROM
MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-3) TO HIGHWAY BUSINESS (B-1)
Planning Intern Bauman stated that the applicant is requesting that the City amend the
Official Zoning Map to rezone the site from Multi-Family Residential (R-3) to Highway
Business (B-1). The Knights of Columbus Hall is defined as a private club or lodge. The
current zoning designation of the site does not allow private clubs or loges as a permitted
or conditional use, making the KC Hall a non-conforming use. As a non-conforming use,
the KC Hall is not allowed to be enlarged, replaced, or structurally changed. The
proposed rezoning allows private clubs and lodges as a conditional use.
The current zoning designation is not in compliance with the 1980 or draft 1995
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The applicant's request to rezone to the B-1 district
would bring the site into conformance with the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan. Staff is
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 9
recommending the approval of the request to rezone the subject site from Multiple Family
(R-3) to Highway Business (B-1).
Commissioner DuBois asked why the rezoning is being requested. The Acting Planning
Director stated that the plans of the applicant are not relevant. He didn't believe that there
are any plans, but if there were they would not be relevant to a rezoning request.
Commissioner DuBois asked, if the building is torn down, could anything allowed in that
particular zone be allowed. The Assistant City Planner replied that they would be allowed
to do anything listed as a permitted use within the Highway Business Zone at the site.
Harold Armstrong, 1044 S. Fuller Street stated that he would hate to see anything else at
the spot except the KC Hall. He noted that they have been located there for 25 years.
Motion: Comm. Mars/Bladow offered a motion to close the public hearing.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: Comm. Bladow/Madigan offered a motion to recommend to the City
Council the approval of the request to amend the zoning map to rezone
4.07 acres located at 1760 4th Avenue East from Multiple Family
Residential (R-3) to Highway Business (B-1)
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
XI. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT TO
REZONE 26.1 ACRES LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF LAKE O'DOWD FROM
AGRICULTURE (AG) TO RURAL RESIDENTIAL (RR).
The Assistant City Planner stated that the applicant is requesting that the City amend the
Official Zoning Map to rezone his 26 acre site from Agricultural to Rural Residential. The
site was zoned from Rural Residential to Agricultural with Phase II of the remapping in
November of 1994 in response to one of the Metropolitan Council's principal concerns
with the City.
The Chaska Interceptor Agreement was adopted by the City Council on January 18, 1994.
This agreement required that the City adopt a density standard of 64 dwellings per 640
acres for all areas where the number of existing dwelling units, the number of developable
lots shown in preliminary or final plats as of the date of the agreement, and the number of
unsubdivided parcels, exceeded the 1 unit per 10 acre density computed on the basis of
640 acre parcels. In response to this requirement, staff calculated the section densities for
the Rural Service Areas within the City, and found that this provision applied to seven
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 10
sections within the City, including Section 30 which contains the site. It was determined
that as of 1990, this section had already exceeded the density standard of one dwelling
unit per ten acres, and was at 1.4 dwelling units per ten acres.
She stated that staff recommends the denial of the request to rezone the site from
Agricultural to Rural Residential, because it would be in conflict with the Comprehensive
Plan, the Chaska Interceptor Agreement, and the Metropolitan Council's rural density
policy.
Commissioner DuBois removed herself from discussion and from voting.
Commissioner Joos asked if this is foreseen as a Rural Residential district. The Acting
Planning Director stated that the Met Council foresees the end of 2 1/2 acre Rural
Residential lots. The timing for sewer is fairly long term. A lot of control over this issue
is from the Met Council who have requested that no new rural residential areas be
designated.
Commissioner Mars asked if this wouldn't be a logical extension of rural residential around
the lake. The Acting Planning Director stated that it would seem logical; however,
policies change.
Gene Chessen, property owner stated that he originally bought the property in order to
develop it. He discussed his concerns about the zoning restriction in this area.
Commissioner Joos stated that both he and the City are between a rock and a hard place
with this restriction. He stated that it should be best left to the City Council to make the
final decision.
In response to a question from the Commission, The Acting Planning Director explained
how the Met Council determines land use and zoning.
Commissioner Mars asked how the Met Council is managing growth in this area. The
Acting Planning Director explained how they determine how the property will be used. He
noted that this area is currently over the maximum density requirement.
Chasen asked why it wasn't made public when the decision was made to rezone. The
Assistant City Planner stated that although notice was published in the newspaper, no
individual notices are required to be sent to individual property owners when the site is
over a certain size. The Acting Planning Director added that if the area is over five acres
in size, notification is not required under State law.

Motion: Commissioner Mars/Bladow offered a motion to close the public hearing.
Vote: Motion carried 5 to 0. Commissioner DuBois did not vote on the motion.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Madigan offered a motion to recommend to the City
Council the request to rezone this site from Agricultural to Rural
Residential and move its approval.
Vote: Motion carried 5 to 1. Commissioner DuBois did not vote on the motion.
XII. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER AMENDING CHAPTER 11, THE ZONING
CHAPTER, TO MODIFY THE SETBACK OF CANOPIES IN THE BUSINESS
ZONES.
Planning Intern Emerson stated that the City Council directed staff to set guidelines for
gas station canopies. Staff is proposing a text amendment to Section 11.83, Subd. 2(S),
regarding the required setback for gas station canopies. Currently, gas station canopies
must be within the normal building setbacks for principal structures. Canopies appear to
create less of an impact than a principal building due to their "open air" design. She
added that staff is recommending the approval of the amendment to Section 11.87, Subd.
2 (S).
Commissioner Mars asked if the bulk of these would be in Section 1. Can it be 10' into
the setback and as high as 18', but the thickness can only be 3'. Planning Intern Emerson
stated that would be the case.
Commissioner Joos believed that the current zoning ordinance is quite appropriate and
believed the ordinance should remain as it is.
Commissioner Bladow asked how the 18' height is determined from. The Assistant City
Planner stated that height is measured from ground level. The Acting Planning Director
stated that the 18 foot height recommendation was determined to allow clearance for
vehicles.
Commissioner Joos believed that this request would not meet three of the four criteria
necessary for approval. He believed this request was prompted by one request which did
not meet the current criteria and had a problem approving the text amendment for one
applicant. The Acting Planning Director stated that only one of the criteria needs to be
met.
Commissioner Link stated that it is obvious why this issue is being raised. He stated that
this is only referring to gas stations, and he was in favor of the change.

Motion: Commissioner MarsBladow offered a motion to close the public hearing.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Bladow offered a motion to recommend to the City
Council that Section 11 of the Zoning Code be amended as recommended
by staff.
Commissioner Joos stated that a lot of other communities have addressed this issue and
noted that some are at 35'. He didn't see the need for a change.
Vote: Ayes - 4. Nays - 2. Motion carried.
XIII. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER REZONING IN THE AREA AROUND
CANTERBURY PARK.
Planning Intern Bauman stated that the applicant is requesting that the Official Zoning
Map be amended to rezone the site from RTD and Multi-Family Residential (R-3) to
Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major Recreation (MR).
She stated that in 1986, the City Council adopted the Racetrack Land Use Study. This
study recommended the creation of the Racetrack District and the mapping of the district
to include a large amount of land around Canterbury Downs. It was anticipated that there
would be considerable commercial development around the racetrack when the plan was
created. This anticipated growth has never really evolved.
The current zoning designation for the subject site is not in compliance with the draft 1995
comprehensive Land Use Plan. The request to rezone would bring the site into
conformance with the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan.
In addition, the goals and policies have changed. On June 7, 1994, the City Council
adopted the new Zoning Ordinance text which deleted the Racetrack District. A new
district, the Major Recreation District, was created. For these reasons, staff is
recommending the approval of the request to rezone the subject site from RTD and R3
Multiple Family to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major Recreation (MB).
Commissioner DuBois asked if a mandatory PUD zoning was ever considered rather than
this rezoning. The Acting Planning Director stated that a mandatory PUD zoning has a
questionable legality.

Motion: Commissioner Madigan/Bladow offered a motion to close the public
hearing.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/ offered a motion to recommend to the City Council
the approval of amending the Official Zoning Map to rezone the site from
RTD and Multi-Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B) and
Major Recreation (MR) and move its approval.
Commissioner DuBois asked if buffering has been considered in this area between zoning
uses. She asked for an opinion from staff. The Acting Planning Director stated that it is
beneficial to cluster multi family uses around commercial for traffic flow purposes. Multi
family is not to be used for buffering. It is anticipated that identifying it as single family
would give more control to the Planning Commission.
Commissioner DuBois stated that if the rezoning is done, there is nothing to stop the
developer from wanting all single family in this area.
Vote: Ayes - 5. Nays - 1 (DuBois). Motion carried.
XIV. PUBLIC HEARING/CONTINUED: TO CONSIDER PHASE 4 REZONING
AMENDMENTS TO THE NEW ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT (ORDINANCE
NO. 377) WHICH WAS ADOPTED ON JUNE 7, 1994.
The Acting Planning Director stated that this public hearing was continued until after more
direction on uses in the Canterbury Park area was developed as part of the Comprehensive
Planning Process. This has been accomplished with the Planning Commission and City
Council review of the draft Comprehensive Plan. This continued public hearing is no
longer necessary since agenda item 13 on the Planning Commission agenda contains all of
the area in the Phase IV Rezoning. The original Phase IV public hearing notice was not
broad enough to include all of the area included in agenda item 13. Staff recommends
closing the public hearing since it is not longer necessary.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Link offered a motion to close the public hearing and
move approval.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
XV. PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FOR
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R-2) AREAS IN "OLD SHAKOPEE"
AREA.
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 14
Planning Intern Emerson stated that the applicant is requesting that the City amend the
Official Zoning Map to rezone the site from Medium Density Residential (R-2) to Old
Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple Family Residential (R-3). This issue was
brought to the Planning Commission at the June meeting, and the Planning Commission
indicated that the preferred approach was to amend the official zoning map to comply with
the land use as much as possible. Staff has prepared recommended zoning map changes
based on the Planning Commission direction.
Staff is recommending approval of the request to rezone the subject area from Medium
Density Residential District (R-2) to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple
Family Residential (R-3) as shown on Exhibit B.
Commissioner Joos asked if this in regard to a previous variance request. Planning Intern
Emerson replied that this is the case.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/Madigan offered a motion to close the public hearing.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: Commissioner Madigan/Mars offered a motion to the City Council to approve
the request to revise the Official Zoning Map from Medium Density Residential (R-2) to
Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple Family Residential (R-3).
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
XVI. FINAL PLAT: TO CONSIDER THE FINAL PLAT OF ORCHARD PARK,
LOCATED SOUTH OF THE MEADOWS WEST 2ND ADDITION, WEST OF P
& V 2ND ADDITION, EAST OF CR 77 AND NORTH OF THE SHAKOPEE
BYPASS
The Acting Planning Director stated that the only reason this request is not on consent is
because it has been identified that there will not be a crossing at the Shakopee Bypass.
Staff recommends the approval of the final plat for Orchard Park, subject to conditions
with the removal of recommended condition #9 which states "Sidewalks shall be
constructed in accordance with City design standards along the east side of County Road
77.
Commissioner DuBois asked if the further alignment would dip into what is Apgar. The
Acting Planning Director noted the location on the map and explained how the trail system
has been changed.
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 15
Commissioner DuBois suggested that better maps be provided in the future that are more
legible.
Motion: Commissioner Mars/DuBois offered a motion to the City Council for the
approval of the final plat of Orchard Park subject to conditions with the removal of
recommendation #9 and move its approval.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
XVII. FINAL PLAT: TO CONSIDER THE FINAL PLAT OF HORIZON HEIGHTS

XVIII.CONCEPT REVIEW: TO CONSIDER THE CONCEPT REVIEW FOR PRAIRIE
BEND PUD AMENDMENT.
Planning Intern Bauman stated that Cottage Homesteads of America is requesting that
the Planning Commission review the proposed amendment to the Prairie Bend Planned
Unit Development prior to the submittal of their application. The subject site is located
south of 4th Avenue between Marschall Road and Shenandoah Drive. The development
would contain 39 units plus a clubhouse on approximately seven acres, at a density of
5.57 units per acre.
The applicant is proposing one level owner-occupied condominiums for seniors 55 years
and older. She.added that the Planning Commission may want to consider the issues
listed in the staff memo. However, no formal action is being requested at this time.
Jim Johnston, Sienna Corporation explained why the use has been changed from assisted
living to owner-occupied condominiums. He stated that the end result will be a much
better project and be more compatible with the single family homes.
Roger Derrick, Cottage Homesteads of America reviewed the project. He noted that
seniors that move in here can be assured that they will not have families with children
living next door because of Federal exemptions. He discussed the amenities which will
be available for the residents. He reviewed two prospective layouts for the site
proposing 39 cottages plus a clubhouse. There will be two entrances to the site. In one
plan, the two entrances connect; in the other plan, they do not.
Commissioner Joos stated that there are concerns in the staff memo relating to the street
widths. He asked if this was because they are private drives. The Acting Planning
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 16
Director discussed the reason for the two concept plans. Subdivision regulations state
that private drives are not allowed. The first concept looks a lot like a street.
The Staff Engineer stated that if private streets are allowed, the tendency is to construct
them narrower. Staff has concerns about the life of a street in this instance. Johnston
explained how the street will be constructed to a 28' width. He noted that sewer and
water will be constructed to city standards. The quality of the street will be high, and the
residents tend to prefer a private street.
Commissioner Bladow stated that his concern about a private drive is access for
emergency vehicles and the ease with which they can enter the site.
Commissioner DuBois concurred and believed that concept A would be a better plan.
Commissioner Madigan was also in favor of concept A.
The Staff Engineer stated that the problem with looking at it as a private drive would be
the width. The current standard is 36', and the applicant is proposing 28'. He believed
that the plan would not work if the width is 36'. He would prefer a private drive from an
engineering standpoint.
Commissioner Joos asked if there is a public benefit from the road. The Staff Engineer
replied that there is a public benefit. It would provide another access to avoid 4th
Avenue.
Commissioner DuBois asked if a 28' wide road would not be allowed. The Staff
Engineer stated that private streets are not allowed. If it is a city street, it must be 36'
wide. He stated that staff is currently reviewing street width issues.
Commissioner Joos asked staff if our current ordinance addresses private drives. The
Acting Planning Director replied that it does not. With the Zoning Ordinance update,
multiple buildings are allowed on one lot. Access to these buildings has not been
addressed.
Commissioner DuBois asked the applicant if other developments of this nature are 28' in
width and private streets. Derrick replied that they are private streets and are 28' in
width. It was determined, in one case, that this was a unique situation.
Commissioner Joos stated that he likes the first concept better than the second.
Commissioner Mars believed that concept A has a better flow to it. He stated that the
purpose of a PUD is to allow flexibility for private drives, narrower streets, etc. The
City of Shakopee
Planning Commission
July 6, 1995 Page 17
Acting Planning Director stated that a PUD does allow flexibility, but streets are
governed under the Subdivision Ordinance.
Commissioner DuBois stated that there needs to be latitude and flexibility for the
developer, because there will be similar requests in the future. She didn't have a problem
with either concept. The bigger issue is private streets vs. city streets.
The Acting Planning Director stated that he will discuss the issues with the City Attorney
relating to flexibility.

project. She stated that final plans will be submitted to staff within the next week for review at
the August meeting where the depth of the mine and the sanitary sewer issues will be
addressed. She added that the grading plan will be revised to bring the sewer depth
requirements up, and that the street layouts will be revised to meet the requirements of the
Subdivision Regulations. A terracing approach will be utilized to eliminate a "bowl" effect.
Environmental issues are being addressed. She discussed the end use proposal, and stated that
the revisions will allow a better use of the property.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Barry A. Stock, Assistant City Administrator
RE: Township Non-Resident Fees
DATE: July 14, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
On July 10, 1995 Gary Laurent and I had the opportunity to meet with Jerry
Merrick, Jackson Township and Marion Schmidt, Louisville Township to discuss the
current non-resident fee structure for recreation participants. It appears that the township
officials would like to revisit the non-resident fee issue prior to the issuance of the fall
recreation program guide (August 10th) and subsequent registrations for fall programs.
Mr. Merrick asked for clarification on how non-resident fees are determined.
Attached is the information that I have distributed to Mr. Merrick which identifies how
we determine what the subsidy per participant is for the Shakopee recreation programs. It
should be noted that the cost figures quoted in the accompanying attachments do not
include costs associated with recreation maintenance. This is consistent with past
illustrations. Keep in mind that the currently estimated subsidy per participant equates to
approximately $26.88. The townships are presently reimbursing the City $10.00 per each
participant. Additionally, each individual who resides within a township pays an
additional $11.00 non-resident fee. Combined, township residents are then paying a total
of$21.00 per participant which is nearly $6.00 less than our estimated subsidy.
It appears that the townships may be willing to pick up the entire $21.00 non-
resident amount if they can be satisfied that there is a rational basis for the fee.
Additionally,the townships would like to pick up the entire $21.00 amount for only those
persons who are 17 and under. They feel the status quo for persons 18 and over is
reasonable. Furthermore,the townships feel that the swimming pool lessons should be
exempt from the non-resident fee all together. Staff is not supportive of this position.
If the townships ultimately agree to cover the entire $21.00 non-resident fee for
persons 17 and under, City Council will be requested to amend the 1995 Fee Schedule
accordingly. I will keep Council informed of the discussions by and between staff and
the township officials as the situation develops.

NON-AGENDA INFORMATIONAL ITEM
MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director 4 .
SUBJECT: Meadows 4th Addition
Lot 1, Blk. 5 Drainage Easement
DATE: July 18, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
This memo is a report on the status of the drainage easement problem on the Petrill
residence located on Lot 1, Block 5, Meadows 4th Addition. This problem was discussed
at the 1995 Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
A drainage easement problem has been identified by Mr. H.R. Spurrier representing
Linda Petrill on Lot 1, Block 5, Meadows 4th Addition. The main problem associated
with the complaint is that the grading of this lot was not completed as per the grading
plan, thus ponding of stormwater occurs outside the dedicated drainage easement. Also a
concern of erosion in the Upper Valley Drainageway (U.V.D.)property has been raised.
Attempts to negotiate a settlement between Pioneer Engineering, the Meadows 4th
Addition engineer and the property owners were made on November 10th and November
15th of 1994. Mr. Spurrier outlined three options in resolving the easement situation as
follows:
1. Grading the lot to contain the stormwater ponding within the existing
easement at an elevation of 786.0.
2. Trade the existing property for another home of comparable value with
identical payments.
3. Purchase the easement with cost of easement being the value of property
plus relocation costs.
Pioneer Engineering countered with a November 15, 1994 letter with the following two
options:
1. A new easement agreement with compensation in the amount of$2,500.00
given for the drainage easement.
2. Regrade the lot to raise the area of the lot outside of the existing drainage
easement to an elevation of 784.1 or above.
Needless to say,the two sides are still in disagreement over what option to agree with and
the exact conditions.
At this time, a meeting between Pioneer Engineering, Mr. Spurrier and City staff needs
to be conducted in order to talk about the remaining issues.
Staff has met with Mr. Spurrier and received the attached July 16, 1995 letter in regard to
the current situation. The objections of Pioneer's offer from Mr. Spurrier's letter are
listed as follows:
1. City approval was not sought:
2. The source of fill was not identified:
3. No compaction or construction standard was agreed to:
4. No bond or other guarantee was furnished or proposed:
5. The plan did not provide freeboard:
6. The plan did not include topsoil:
The main objection in dispute with Mr. Spurrier at this point appears to be what design
standards should be applied to this problem. The 100 year flood elevation of the pond
adjacent to the property is 784.0. The normal procedure for determining a drainage
easement for ponds for Shakopee and most other Cities is to use the 100 year flood
elevation and not add any freeboard height in determining the easement line. The
drainage easement line on ponds has been based on the 100 year flood elevation per Pete
Willenbring of Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Assoc. The option offered by Pioneer
Engineering on November 15, 1994 was to raise the property to an elevation of 784.1 and
place four inches of topsoil.
Staff will be contacting the appropriate persons of the parties involved to set a meeting
and discuss the remaining issues.

Brekke, Beard (arrived at 5 : 39 P.M. ) , Sweeney, and Lynch present.
Also present: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator; Barry Stock,
Assistant City Administrator; Karen Marty, City Attorney; Judith S.
Cox, City Clerk; Gregg Voxland, Finance Director; Paul Bilotta,
Acting Planning Director; Bruce Loney, Public Works Director/City
Engineer; and Dave Nummer, Staff Engineer.
Items added to the Agenda: 6a) Premises Permit For The Shakopee
Rotary Club.
Sweeney/Lynch moved to approve the agenda as modified. Motion
carried unanimously.
Bruce Loney spoke about the County Road 16 Reconstruction from CSAH
17 to County Road 83 . He stated that in working to finalize the
Cooperative Agreement between the City and County, City/County Cost
Participation and the installation of a turn lane at Vierling Drive
and County Road 16 were discussed.
Mr. Loney stated that it was agreed to modify the Cooperative
Agreement. He said that a revised agreement is on the table which
includes the storm sewer costs that were included in the City's
County Road 16 Sanitary Sewer and Water Service Contract. Other
changes include: 1) Adding a City Clerk signature block. 2) A
separate agreement will be prepared addressing the future ponding
costs that the County should participate in, and 3) A separate
Cooperative Agreement should be entered into in order not to delay
the project. He explained that a separate agreement will be
prepared for the future maintenance of the water quality pond on
the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission Wellhouse #6 . The
maintenance agreement will focus on the City maintaining the pond
with the County contributing into the Stormwater Utility Fund.
Mr. Loney recommended authorization to execute the Cooperative
Agreement with Scott County for the County Road 16 Project,
restricting parking on County Road 16, and approving plans and
specification for County Road 16 .
Sweeney/Beard moved to authorize the appropriate City officials to
execute Cooperative Agreement No. 9516 with Scott County for the
County Road 16 project.
A discussion regarding whether or not someone other than the County
would be paying any part of the City's portion of Cost
Participation ensued.
Scott Merkley, Scott County, approached the podium and discussed
the ownership of land and maintenance of the pond.
Official Proceedings of the June 26 , 1995
Shakopee City Council Page -2-
In response to a question regarding turn lanes, Mr. Merkley stated
that there will be sufficient right-of-way for a left-turn lane,
but that additional right-of-way would be needed for right-turn
lanes. He explained that current policy addresses purchasing the
necessary right-of-way now for the project and not for the future
at this time.
Motion carried unanimously.
Lynch/Sweeney offered Resolution No. 4238 , A Resolution Restricting
Parking on County State Aid Highway 16 Between CSAH 17 and County
Highway 83 , S.A.P. 70-616-15, and moved its adoption. Motion
carried unanimously.

Gregg Voxland briefly reviewed the insurance deductibles and stated
that the League is recommending a $1000 to $2500 deductible for a
city the size of Shakopee.
Brekke/Sweeney moved to renew insurance policies with the League of
Cities and Hartford and to approve a deductible level of $2500 for
the League of Cities insurance coverage.
A discussion regarding insurance claims and deductibles ensued.
Motion carried unanimously.
Barry Stock gave an overview of the conceptual design plan for the
downtown area riverfront that could be phased in over a period of
years. He stated that the concept is to use the top portion of the
old bridge for special events, the possibility of adding a lower
walking deck at the level of Levee Drive, and relocating the boat
landing. He stated that the cost of this project is approximately
$4 million.
Mr. Stock explained that Downtown Area Riverfront Project Plan is
merely a conceptual Plan. He said that the ideas we may be looking
at could be a 20 year Plan. What is done is up to the Council.
Mr. Stock stated that next year' s funding plan did include a
project for grading and storm drainage ponding in this area and
suggested discussion as to whether this should be included in the
Capital Improvement Plan and what staff would like to do as far as
grading the park.
Official Proceedings of the June 26, 1995
Shakopee City Council Page -3-
Paul Bilotta stated that the DNR' s position on fill that has been
deposited in Huber Park over the past 20 years, is that fill as far
as "fill" purposes is not allowed. He explained that if there is a
benefit then the impact on drainage would be reviewed.
Charles Engel, 132 N. Main Street, approached the podium and stated
that the fill deposited in Huber park is causing basement flooding
in homes nearby. He suggested the City pay for any necessary
improvements. He also spoke in opposition to continuing to use the
road to get to the boat ramp since there is an alley and a trail.
A discussion regarding access to Huber Park ensued.
A discussion ensued as to whether or not the road behind the
buildings would be closed.
A discussion regarding the Eden Prairie owned right-of-way and the
trail system ensued.
John Albinson approached the podium and suggested that once the
south bypass is open the traffic east of the bridge will be
localized which would provide for a pedestrian friendly atmosphere.
Mike Engel approached the podium and spoke about the former park
and the flooding that still occurs after adding fill. He also spoke
about the traffic level North of 1st Avenue.
Lynch/Beard moved to approve the conceptual design plan for the
downtown area riverfront project. Motion carried unanimously.
Bruce Loney discussed the temporary road access to the boat ramp
from Bluff Avenue. He stated that the clearance under the old
bridge was found to be 11' and asked for direction from staff as to
whether the boat ramp access from Bluff Avenue should be maintained
or if the road should be closed.
Beard/Lynch moved to remove the temporary road access to the boat
ramp from Bluff Avenue from the table for consideration. Motion
carried unanimously.
A discussion regarding the clearance under the old 169 bridge and
boats that exceed that height ensued.
Bruce Loney stated that staff would investigate the possibility of
overhead lines in the alley North of 1st Avenue, and the actual
width of the alley (West to Spencer St. ) and bring that information
back to the Council .

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk Cf--
RE: P & V Additions Waiver - Norman Denstedt
DATE: July 3, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
On June 6, 1995, City Council tabled a request by Mr. Denstedt to be permitted to
sign a waiver for his property for public improvements in the P & V Additions.
BACKGROUND:
Sometime during the end of May, Mr. Denstedt stopped into the office inquiring
about the proposed assessments for the VIP Interceptor Extension because he had
received a notice of the June 6th public hearing. At that time he was asked if he had
signed a waiver that other residents in his neighborhood had signed with regard to public
improvements for the P & V Additions. He said that he didn't remember. He also said
that he didn't remember being notified of the public hearing on the proposed
improvements to the P & V Additions for January 3, 1995. He said that he probably had
to work that evening. He was advised at that time that City Council had given property
owners who had not yet signed waivers until 7:50 P.M. on January 3, 1995 to sign a
waiver. I advised Mr. Denstedt to write to City Council requesting permission to sign a
waiver and explain his request.
In his letter of May 26th, Mr. Denstedt stated that he didn't remember signing any
waiver, but that he had gone to the meeting at the Jackson Township Town Hall
concerning becoming part of Shakopee and that he voted for all of the improvements.
On June 6th, City Council tabled acting on Mr. Denstedt's request and directed the
City Clerk to contact Jackson Township to see whether there was an attendance record
and a record of how each person had voted. I contacted Rose Menke, Jackson Township
Clerk, and asked her if she had any records relating to this matter. She advised me that
Mr. Denstedt was present at the meeting. She also advised that the ballot was secret and
she did not know how Mr. Denstedt voted. She said that in some cases both spouses did
not attend the meeting. In these cases the waivers were taken home so that both parties
could sign them. She said that Mr. Denstedt must have taken his waiver home and that it
just never got returned.
Waivers have been signed by all property owners in the P & V Additions except
for: Mr. Denstedt, Mr. & Mrs. Michael Rowan and the State of Minnesota.
ALTERNATIVES:
1] Allow Mr. Denstedt to sign a waiver
2] Do not allow Mr. Denstedt to sign a waiver
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and direct staff whether or not to allow Mr. Denstedt to sign a waiver on
the proposed improvements to the P & V Additions. (Lot 4, Block 2, P & V 2nd
Addition)

improvements for the P & V Addition and P & V Second Addition .

the P & V additions and stated that 31 property owners of the 34
parcels on the assessment roll have signed the waivers. He
explained that the improvements consist of sanitary sewer,

, \ estimated $11, 500. 00. Motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Laurent asked if anyone present wished to speak on the
proposed improvements for the P & V Additions.
John Collins, 109 E Mound St. , Shakopee, Mn. approached the
podium. Mr. Collins stated his concern about the Harcy property,
which the state bought and is currently renting out. He asked
whether the state was going to pay the assessments. He also wanted
to make sure he would not be assessed for a vacant lot which has no
street access.
•
Dave Nummer stated that Mr. Collins would not be assessed for the
vacant lot but that there would also not be any sewer or water
installed. In answer to Mr. Collins other question, he stated that
the State would pay the assessments for the Harcy property.
Mayor Laurent closed the public hearing for the P .& V Additions.
Lynch/Sweeney offered Resolution No. 4150, A Resolution Ordering an
Improvement and the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the
P & V Addition and P & V 2nd Addition, Project No. 1995-5, and
moved its adoption. Motion carried unanimously.
Cncl .Lynch stated her concern for taking the time to seek qualified
candidates for police officers.
Cncl . Sweeney reiterated Cncl . Lynch's concerns for the record.
Cncl.Brekke also had the same concern and wanted it noted on the
record.
Lynch/Sweeney moved to authorize the hiring of Chris L. Dellwo as
a police officer with the Shakopee Police Department at a monthly
rate of $2 , 463 . 00 subject to the satisfactory completion of pre-
employment medical and psychological testing and the customary 12
month probation period. Motion carried unanimously . _

Memo To: Shakopee Planning Commission
From: Nancy J. Emerson, Planning Intern
Meeting Date: July 6, 1995
Re: 20 foot setback for Gas Station Canopies; Proposed Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment
Introduction
The City Council directed staff to set guidelines for gas station canopies. Staff is proposing a text
amendment to Section 11.83, Subd. 2 (S), regarding the required setback for Gas Station Canopies.
Currently, Gas Station Canopies must be within the normal building setbacks for principal structures.
Background
Gas stations are a Conditional Use in the I-Eghway Business Zone(B-1) and Central Business Zone(B-
3). The current front yard setback for the B-1 district is 30 feet. The front yard setback for the B-3
district is 0 feet. A portion of Section 11.87, Subd. 2(S)is shown in Exhibit A.
Section 11.87, Subd. 2 (S), currently makes no reference to Gas Station Canopies (see Exhibit A).
Staff is requesting adding a 7th condition to Section 11.87, Subd. 2 (S) (Conditional Use Permit for
Business Zones, Gas Station). The 7th condition would read"may have a canopy which projects up to
ten feet into the required front or rear yard setback. The setback shall be maintained clear of all
obstructions up to a height of thirteen feet. The canopy shall have a maximum vertical thickness of
three feet. The canopy shall have a maximum height of 18 feet."
Discussion
Canopies appear the create less of an impact than a principal building due to their "open air" design.
This may provide reason to consider a lesser setback.
Staff has researched the canopy requirements of some of the surrounding communities. This
information is provided below:
Chaska: Regarded as a principle structure.
Eden Prairie: Regarded as a accessory structure with a 35 foot setback for the allowed
districts. There are 2 height restrictions depending on the district 40 feet and 15
feet maximum height. The top is regarded as a wall and signs are allowed.
Savage: Regarded as a principle structure.
Prior Lake: Regards as principle structure.
Burnsville: Regarded as a accessory structure conditional use. There is a height restriction
of 20 feet. The setbacks are 30 feet except if abutting a residential zone than
60 feet front and 50 feet side and rear.
1
Findings
According to City Code 11.83 Subd. 2 the City Council may grant a Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment when it finds that one or more of the following criteria exists:
Criteria I That the original Zoning Ordinance is in error;
Finding 1 There are no errors with the existing Zoning Ordinance treatment of gas station
canopies.
Criteria 2 That significant changes in community goals and policies have taken
place;
Finding 2 A change in policy has occurred. The City Council directed staff to initiate a
revision to the setbacks for gas station canopies so they are not held to the
same standards as principal structures.
Criteria#3 That significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development
patterns have occurred; or
Finding #3 No significant changes in City-wide of neighborhood development patterns
have occurred.
Criteria#4 That the comprehensive plan requires a different provision.
Finding #4 The comprehensive plan does not provide any provisions referencing gas
station canopies.
Alternatives
1. Recommend to the City Council the approval of the proposed text amendment to City Code 11.87,
Subd. 2(S).
2. Recommend to the City Council that this portion of Zoning Ordinance 11.87, Subd. 2 (S) not be
amended.
3. Continue the public hearing and request additional information.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the request to amend the zoning ordinance 11.87, Subd. 2 (S).

Memo To: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
From: Nancy J. Emerson, Planning Intern
Date: July 12, 1995
Re: Amendment to the Zoning Map: Medium Density Residential (R-2) to Old Shakopee
Residential(R-1C) and Multiple-Family Residential(R-3).
Introduction:
The applicant is requesting that the city amend the Official Zoning map to rezone the site from Medium
Density Residential (R-2) to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3).
A copy of the July 6, 1995, Planning Commission staff report has been attached for your reference.
Discussion:
The lots in the R-2 district allow existing single family dwellings but not development of new single
family dwellings. With the old Shakopee lot sizes of 60 by 142 feet and the minimum lot size for a
duplex of 70 by 157 feet it is impossible to develop on a vacant lot without a variance. There are no
legal uses for the vacant lots of standard size. This issue was brought to the Planning Commission at
the June meeting and the Planning Commission indicated that the preferred approach was to amend the
official zoning map to comply with the land uses as much as possible.
Alternatives:
1. Approve the rezoning of the subject area from Medium Density Residential District (R-2) to
Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) as shown on Exhibit
B.
2. Do not approve the rezoning of the subject area from Medium Density Residential District (R-
2) to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) as shown on
Exhibit B.
3. Table the decision, and request additional information.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission has recommended the approval of the rezoning of the subject area from
Medium Density Residential District (R-2) to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) as shown on Exhibit B. (Alternative No. 1).
Action Requested:
Offer Resolution No. 421, A Resolution Approving the rezoning of the subject area from Medium
Density Residential District (R-2) to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple-Family Residential
(R-3) as shown on Exhibit B., and move its adoption.

(I-2) Heavy Industrial
Discussion
A citywide problem with the R-2 zone was brought to staff's attention. The lots in the R-2 district
allow existing single family dwellings but not development of new single family dwellings. With the old
Shakopee lot sizes of 60 by 142 feet and the minimum lot size for a duplex of 70 by 157 feet it is
impossible to develop on a vacant lot without a variance. It is also virtually impossible to meet the
variance criteria since this is not a situation unique to any of the lots. In effect, there are no legal uses
for the vacant lots of standard size.
This issue was brought to the Planning Commission at the June meeting and the Planning Commission
indicated that the preferred approach was to amend the official zoning map to comply with the land
uses as much as possible. Staff has prepared recommended zoning map changes based on the PC's
direction (Exhibit B). By rezoning the non-conforming areas to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) the
1
problem should be largely eliminated except in two blocks where apartment complexes are located.
The Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)was recommended for these areas.
Findings
Section 11.83, Subd. 3 of the City Code states that amendments changing the boundaries or
regulations of any existing district shall not be issued indiscriminately. Only one criteria needs to be
satisfied. The changes shall be based on findings or criteria including, but not limited to, the criteria
listed below:
Criteria#1 The original zoning ordinance was in error.
the
rent
Finding#1 The current zoning designation o°r he Re S1C andubject 'te is R-3 d�strictst in owou d bring ance hhe siteinto
uses. The request to rezone
conformance with its uses and the Comprehensive Plan.
Criteria#2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place.
Finding#2 The need for this rezoning is not due to any changes in community goals or policies.
Criteria#3 Significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have
occurred.
Finding#3 Significant changes in development patterns have not occurred that would create a
need to rezone this area.
Criteria #4 The comprehensive plan requires a different provision.
Finding#4 The rezoning of these parcels from Medium Density Residential District to Old
Shakopee Residential and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) would appear to be in
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan's growth management program in one small area.
The area that is in conflict consists of a one a half block section of residential dwellings
in a commercial designation. However, this is not anticipated to be a commercial
growth area until the later years of the comprehensive plan's planning horizon due to
the amount of vacant land in the B-3 zone.
Alternatives
1. Recommend that the City Council rezone the subject area from Medium Density Residential
District (R-2) to Old Shakopee Residential (R-1C) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) as
shown on Exhibit B.
2. Modify the recommendations shown on Exhibit B and recommend to the City Council its
approval..

Memo To: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
From: Julie Baumann, Planning Intern
Date: July 14, 1995
Re: Amendment to the Zoning Map: Multiple-Family Residential(R-3)to Highway
Business(B-1)
Introduction:
The Knights of Columbus are requesting that the City amend the Official Zoning Map to rezone a 4.07
acre site at 1760 4th Avenue East from Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Highway Business (B-1).
A copy of the July 6, 1995, Planning Commission staff report has been attached for your reference.
Discussion:
The Knights of Columbus Hall is defined as a private club or lodge. The current zoning
designation of the site does not allow private clubs or lodges as a permitted or conditional use.
Therefore, the Knights of Columbus Hall is currently a nonconforming use. As a nonconforming
use, the Knights of Columbus Hall is not allowed to be enlarged, replaced, or structurally
changed.
The proposed rezoning allows private clubs and lodges as a conditional use. Additional permitted
and conditional uses are outlined in Exhibit B of the Planning Commission staff memo.
Alternatives:
1. Approve the request to rezone from Multiple-Family Residential(R-3)to Highway Business
(B-1).
2. Do not approve the request to rezone from Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)to Highway
Business(B-1).
3. Table the decision, and request additional information from the applicant and/or staff.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission has recommended the approval of the request to rezone from Multiple-
Family Residential(R-3)to Highway Business(B-1).
Action Requested:
Offer Ordinance No. 422, An Ordinance Approving the Amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone a
4.07 acre site located at 1760 4th Avenue East from Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Highway
Business(B-1), and move its adoption.

Introduction
The applicant is requesting that the City amend the Official Zoning Map to rezone a 4.07 acre site from
Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Highway Business (B-1). Please find attached Exhibit A. This
exhibit shows the subject site location on the current zoning map.
Background
Within the Zoning Ordinance, the Knights of Columbus Hall is defined as a private club or lodge. With
the adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance on June 7, 1994 the subject site was zoned Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3). Private clubs and lodges are not listed as either a conditional or permitted use within
that district. Therefore, the Knights of Columbus Hall is a nonconforming use.
The Zoning Ordinance that was in effect from 1979 to 1994, designated the site within the Multi-family
Residential (R-4) District. Under that ordinance private clubs and lodges were listed as a conditional
use. The KC Hall, however, did not apply for or receive a conditional use permit to operate. Because
a conditional use permit was never issued, the KC Hall was a nonconforming use under the provisions
of the previous ordinance.
4 1
The Knights of Columbus Hall is considered a Type A Nonconformity. The City Code provides a
number of provisions that control the actions of Type A Nonconformities. The provision that is
currently most relevant is Section 11.91, Subd. 3.A. This provision states that :
No such use shall be expanded, enlarged to use more land area,
intensified, replaced, structurally changed, or relocated, except to make it
a permitted use. Normal maintenance and non-structural repairs shall be
excepted from this prohibition.
Considerations
The proposed rezoning would list private clubs and lodges as a conditional use. If this request were
approved, the KC Hall would then be able to operate as a conforming use, provided that a conditional
use permit was issued.
As shown on Exhibit A, the property proposed to be zoned is located adjacent to existing I-1, R-1B,
AG, and R-3 zoned properties. Rezoning the property to B-1, would appear to be spot zoning, which
is considered to be in conflict with good planning principles and generally discouraged. However, the
proposed rezoning is in compliance with the Land Use Plan designations set forth by the 1980 and the
draft 1995 Comprehensive Plans.
The subject site is within the Mandatory Planned Unit Development District. The properties to the
east, west, and south of the subject site are also within the Mandatory PUD District. The area to the
north is not included in the Mandatory PUD District.
The existing land uses in the subject site area include a cemetery, light industrial, and a residential
Planned Unit Development. The dwellings in the Planned Unit Development include single family
homes, as well as multiple family dwellings.
Rezoning the property would allow the property owner to take full advantage of all the permitted and
conditional uses within the B-1 district. Some of these include motels/hotels, gas stations, and medical
clinics. For a complete list of permitted and conditional uses within the B-1 district, please see Exhibit
B.
Findings
Section 11.83, Subd. 2 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 to, the criteria listed below:
Criteria#1 The original zoning ordinance was in error.
Finding#1 The current zoning designation for the subject site is not in compliance with the 1980
or the draft 1995 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Therefore, the current zoning is in
2
error. The applicant's request to rezone to the B-1 district would bring the site into
conformance with the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan.
Criteria#2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place.
Finding#2 The goals and policies for the Multiple-Family Residential District 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 not occurred which would effect the
directions established in the 1980 or the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan for this area.
Criteria #4 The amendment is necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan's growth
management program.
Finding#4 The rezoning of this parcel from Multiple-Family to Highway Business would not be in
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan's growth management program.
Alternatives
1. Recommend that the City Council rezone the subject site from Multiple-Family Residential (R-
3)to Highway Business(B-1).
2. Do not recommend that the City Council rezone the subject site from Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3)to Highway Business(B-1).
3. Continue the public hearing to allow the applicant and/or staff to provide additional
information.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the subject site from Multiple Family Residential
(R-3)to Highway Business(B-1).
Action Requested
Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the request to revise the Official
Zoning Map to rezone the subject site from Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Highway Business
(B-1), and move its approval.

Re: Amendment to the Zoning Map: Racetrack District(RTD) and Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3)to Urban Residential(R-1B)and Major Recreation(MR)
Introduction:
The City of Shakopee is requesting that the Official Zoning Map be amended to rezone portions of the
city from Racetrack District (RTD) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)to Urban Residential (R-1B)
and Major Recreation (MR). A copy of the July 6, 1995, Planning Commission staff report has been
attached for your reference.
Discussion:
In 1986, the City Council adopted the Racetrack Land Use Study. This study recommended the
creation of the Racetrack District and the mapping of the district to include a large amount of land
around Canterbury Downs. It was anticipated that there would be considerable commercial
development around the racetrack when the plan was created. This anticipated growth has never really
evolved.
On June 7, 1994, the City Council adopted the new Zoning Ordinance Text which deleted the
Racetrack District. A new district, the Major Recreation District was created. The majority of the
subject area is currently not under the control of the new Zoning Ordinance Text due to the present
zoning designation of Racetrack District (RTD). The approval of the Planning Commission
recommendation will bring the subject area under the control of the new Zoning Ordinance Text.
Please find attached Exhibits A and B. Exhibit A is a map depicting the existing zoning. Exhibit B
displays the proposed zoning.
Alternatives:
1. Approve the request to rezone from Racetrack District (RTD) and Multiple-Family Residential
(R-3)to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major Recreation(MR).
2. Do not approve the request to rezone from Racetrack District (RTD) and Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3)to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major Recreation (MR).
3. Table the decision, and request additional information from the applicant and/or staff.

Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission has recommended the approval of the request to rezone from Racetrack
District (RTD) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major
Recreation(MR).
Action Requested:
Offer Ordinance No. 423, An Ordinance Approving the Amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone
areas located South of 4th Avenue, West of County Road 83 to Marschall Road from Racetrack
District (RTD) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major
Recreation(MR), and move its adoption.

zoned Urban Residential (R-1B). Nearly all other areas of the City were mapped in November
1994, and are subject to the new zoning ordinance already. These areas will be subject to the
provisions of the new zoning ordinance. A map was attached to the ordinance showing the areas
affected.
A printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection by any person at the office of
the City Clerk and at the Scott County Library.

Applicant: City of Shakopee
Memo To: Shakopee Planning Commission
From: Julie Baumann, Planning Intern
Meeting Date: July 6, 1995
Re: Amendment to the Zoning Map: Racetrack District (RTD) and Multiple-
Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major Recreation
(MR)
Site Information
Applicant City of Shakopee
Location South of 4th Avenue;West of County Road 83 to Marschall Road
Current Zoning Racetrack District(RTD) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3), and
within the Mandatory PUD District
Comp. Plan Designation 1980 - Agricultural
Draft 1995 -Entertainment (East of Shenandoah Drive)and Single-
Family Residential(West of Shenandoah Drive)
Municipal Utilities Site is served by municipal utilities.
Adjacent Zoning
Zone Title
North I-1 Light Industrial
South I-1 Light Industrial
R-1B Urban Residential
East MR Major Recreation
West R-1B Urban Residential
Introduction
The City of Shakopee is requesting that the Official Zoning Map be amended to rezone portions of the
site from Racetrack District (RTD) and Multiple-Family (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B) and Major
Recreation (MR). Please find attached Exhibits A and B. Exhibit A shows the location of the sites
proposed to be rezoned within the Urban Area Zoning Map. Exhibit B displays the areas to be
rezoned within the Rural Area Zoning Map.
Considerations
In 1986, the City Council adopted the Racetrack Land Use Study. This study recommended the
creation of the Racetrack District (RTD) and the mapping of the district to include a large amount of
land around Canterbury Downs. It was anticipated the there would be considerable commercial
development around the racetrack when the plan was created. This anticipated growth has never really
evolved.
1
The City is proposing that the areas west of Shenandoah Drive be rezoned from Racetrack District
(RTD) and Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B). The proposed rezoning
would be in compliance with the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan. The proposal also
includes that the areas east of Shenandoah Drive be rezoned from Racetrack District (RTD) to Major
Recreation(MR).
The proposed rezoning would essentially extend single family residential zoning along the west side of
Shenandoah Drive. Developers would still be able to develop at higher residential densities as part of a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). It would also extend the Major Recreation zoning along the east
side of Shenandoah Drive.
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 to, the criteria listed below:
Criteria#1 The original zoning ordinance was in error.
Finding#1 The current zoning designation for the subject site is not in compliance with the draft
1995 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and would therefore be in error. The request to
rezone to the R-1B and MR districts would bring the site into conformance with the
draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan.
Criteria#2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place.
Finding#2 The goals and policies for the Racetrack District within the City of Shakopee have
changed. On June 7, 1994, the City Council adopted the new Zoning Ordinance text
which deleted the Racetrack District. A new district, the Major Recreation District
was created.
Criteria#3 Significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have
occurred.
Finding#3 Significant changes in development patterns have not occurred which would effect the
directions established in the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan for this area. However,
the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan recognized the reduced development expectations
for the area.
Criteria#4 The amendment is necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan's growth
management program.
2
Finding#4 The rezoning of this parcel from Racetrack District/Multiple-Family Residential to
Urban Residential/Major Recreation would not be in conflict with the Comprehensive
Plan's growth management program.
Alternatives
1. Recommend that the City Council rezone the subject site from Racetrack District
(RTD)/Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B)/Major Recreation
(MR).
2. Do not recommend that the City Council rezone the subject site from Racetrack District
(RTD)/Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) to Urban Residential (R-1B)/Major Recreation
(MR).
3. Continue the public hearing to allow staff to provide additional information.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the subject site from Racetrack District
(RTD)/Multiple-Family Residential (R-3)to Urban Residential (R-1B)/Major Recreation(MR).
Action Requested
Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the request to revise the Official
Zoning Map to rezone the subject site from Racetrack District (RTD)/Multiple-Family Residential
(R-3)to Urban Residential(R-1B)/Major Recreation(MR), and move its approval.

Memo To: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
From: Terrie A. Thurmer, Assistant City Planner ,
Date: July 7, 1995
Re: Proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment;
Revision to the Conditional Use Permit Standards for Industry Zones.
Introduction
Fischer Aggregates, Inc. has submitted an application for a text amendment to Section 11.88, Subd. 2
(S.3), regarding specific standards for Conditional Use Permits for Mining. This provision requires that
an application for a Conditional Use Permit for mining must provide the following maps of the site and
all areas within 500 feet of the site: (1) Existing Conditions; (2) Proposed operations; and (3)End
Use Plan.
Discussion
Section 11.88, Subd. 2 (S.3), specifically states that applicants "Shall provide the City with the
following maps of the entire site and all areas within 500 feet of the site drawn at a scale of one (1)
inch to one hundred(100)feet. The applicant is requesting that this requirement be reduced from "all
areas within 500 feet" to "all areas within 100 feet". A copy of the July 6th 1995, Planning
Commission staff memo has been attached for your reference.
There was no staff recommendation provided in the Planning Commission staff memo because
this is largely a policy issue. However, the technical issues of how much off site detail is needed
to analyze mining impacts will vary greatly from site to site and could exceed 500 feet in some
circumstances. Staff would like to stress that this requirement was discussed within the past year
with the update of the Zoning Ordinance. During this process, it was recommended that this
requirement not be amended.
Alternatives
1. Amend Section 11.88, Subd. 2 (S.3)to require topographic information within 100 feet of the
site drawn at a scale of one (1) inch to one hundred (100) feet. However, the City Engineer
shall use the appropriate discretion to require additional topographic information in order to
evaluate the potential impact upon neighboring properties (as recommended by the Planning
Commission).
2. Do not amend Section 11.88, Subd. 2(S.3).
3. Approve the text amendment to Section 11.88, Subd. 2 (S.3)as proposed by the applicant.
4. Amend Section 11.88, Subd. 2(S.3)to require one of the following:
a) Topographic information within feet for all proposed mines;
b) Topographic information within feet for all proposed mines, and require
topographic information within feet when the City Engineer determines it is
necessary in order to evaluate the potential impacts upon neighboring properties; or
1
c) Topographic information within feet of the site drawn at a scale of one (1) inch to
one hundred (100) feet. However, the City Engineer shall use the appropriate
discretion to require additional topographic information in order to evaluate the
potential impact upon neighboring properties.
5. Table the decision and request additional information from the applicant and/or staff.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission has recommended Alternative No. 1, that Section 1188, Subd. 2 (S.3) be
amended to state that applicants, "Shall provide the City with the following maps of the entire site and
all areas within 100 feet of the site drawn at a scale of one (1) inch to one hundred (100)feet.
However, the City Engineer shall use the appropriate discretion to require additional topographic
information in order to evaluate the potential impact upon neighboring properties. "
Action Requested
Offer a motion to direct staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance to amend Section 11.88, Subd. 2
(S.3), and move its approval.

Re: Revision to the Conditional Use Permit Standards for Industry Zones;
Proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Introduction
Fischer Aggregates, Inc. has submitted an application for a text amendment to Section 11.88, Subd. 2
(S), regarding specific standards for Conditional Use Permits for Mining. This provision requires that
an application for a Conditional Use Permit for mining must provide the following maps of the site and
all areas within 500 feet of the site: (1) Existing Conditions; (2) Proposed operations; and (3)End
Use Plan. A copy of the reasons for their request has been attached as Exhibit A
Section 11.88, Subd. 2 (S), specifically states that applicants "Shall provide the City with the following
maps of the entire site and all areas within 500 feet of the site drawn at a scale of one (1) inch to one
hundred (100)feet. The applicant is requesting that this requirement be reduced from "all areas
within 500 feet"to "all areas within 100 feet".
Background
The portion of Chapter 11 of the City Code which requires that an application for a Conditional Use
Permit for mining must provide maps of the site and all areas within 500 feet of the site was adopted in
1979. This requirement has been carried over into the current Zoning Ordinance. A copy of Section
11.88, Subd. 2 (S)has been attached as Exhibit B for your reference.
Discussion
The applicant has provided a number of reasons to reduce this requirement from 500 feet to 100 feet.
Their reasons include the following:
1. 100 feet is consistent with City's Subdivision Regulations and application form for a
Preliminary Plat.
2. Topographic information is not available in all areas of the City, particularly Agricultural
areas. Therefore, it requires considerable time and expense to obtain topographic date to an
area 500 feet beyond the perimeter of the subject property.
3. 10 foot interval contours are available in all areas, therefore, some topographic information
is available.
4. The City ordinance only requires a 100 foot perimeter for a preliminary plat in any area of
the City. It is an undue burden to require a 500 foot perimeter only for a mining area.
5. City ordinances typically require 2 foot interval topography to 100 feet beyond the subject
boundary. 500 feet is a very urnisual requirement.
6. A 500 foot perimeter will require permission from adjacent owners to survey and establish
ground control. This permission may not be given. Also a 500 foot perimeter is often a
larger area than the subject site.
1
7. At the time of platting, the City Engineer may extend the requirement to 300 feet if necessary
(City Subdivision Regulation Section 12.04 B7). This assures that the City will have sufficient
topographic information before platting and development.
Staff has researched the topographical submittal requirements of a few other communities within the
metropolitan area. This information is provided below:
Apple Valley: 100' Burnsville: 100' Chaska: 300'
Lakeville: 350' Scott County: 350' Woodbury: 200'
Shakopee's 500 foot requirement was originally adopted to protect neighboring properties from
impacts of proposed mines. One option that the Planning Commission may want to consider is to
revise the submittal requirements to require topographic information within 100 or 200 feet for all
proposed mines, and to require topographic information within 500 feet only when it is necessary in
order to determine the potential impacts upon neighboring properties. An example of where the 500
foot dimension lies in proximity to the Fischer Aggregate mine has been provided on Exhibit C.
Findings
The City Council may grant a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment when it finds that one or more of
the following criteria exists:
Criteria! That the original Zoning Ordinance is in error;
Draft Finding 1 The original Zoning Ordinance is not found to be in error.
Criteria 2 That significant changes in community goals and policies have taken
place;
Draft Finding 2 Determining the amount of topographic information required for a sufficient
review of a mining operation, and yet protect the public, is a policy issue.
Criteria#3 That significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development
patterns have occurred; or
Draft Finding #3 Significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have
not occurred.
Criteria#4 That the comprehensive plan requires a different provision.
Draft Finding #4 Neither the 1980 Comprehensive Plan, nor the 1995 draft
Comprehensive Plan requires a different provision.
2
Alternatives
1. Recommend that this portion of Chapter 11 not be amended.
2. Recommend to the City Council the approval of the proposed text amendment to Chapter 11
as proposed by the applicant.
3. Recommend to the City Council that the submittal requirements be revised to require one of
the following requirements:
a) Topographic information within feet for all proposed mines;
b) Topographic information within feet for all proposed mines, and to require
topographic information within feet when the Planning Commission determines it
is necessary in order to evaluate the potential impacts upon neighboring properties.
4. Continue the public hearing and request additional information from the applicant and/or staff.

EXHIBIT A
FISCHER AGGREGATES, INC.
PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 06-08-95
The existing ordinance in Section 1 1 .88 Subdivision 253 states the following:
"3. shall provide the City with the following maps of the
entire site and all areas within 500 feet of the site, drawn
at a scale of one (1) inch to one hundred (100) feet:"
Fischer Aggregates, Inc. request that this wording be revised to read as follows:
"3. shall provide the City with the following maps of the
entire site and all areas within 100 feet of the site, drawn
at a scale of one (1) inch to one hundred (100) feet:"
Reasons for the proposed amendment are:
1 . 100 feet is consistent with City's Subdivision Regulations and
application form for a preliminary plat.
2. Topographic information is not available in all areas of the City,
particularly Agricultural areas. Therefore, it requires considerable time
and expense to obtain topographic data to an area 500 feet beyond
the perimeter of a subject property.
3. 10 foot interval contours are available in all areas, therefore, some
topographic information is available.
4. The City ordinance only requires a 100 foot perimeter for a preliminary
plat in any area of the City. It is an undue burden to require a 500 foot
perimeter only for a mining area.
5. City ordinances typically require 2 foot interval topography to 100 feet
beyond the subject boundary. 500 feet is a very unusual requirement.
6. A 500 foot perimeter will require permission from adjacent owners to
survey and establish ground control. This permission may not be
given. Also, a 500 foot perimeter is often a larger area than the
subject site.
7. At the time of platting, the City Engineer may extend the requirement
to 300 feet if necessary (City Subdivision Regulation Section 12.04
67). This assures that the City wig have sufficient topographic
information before platting and development.

Memo To: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
From: Terrie A. Thurmer, Assistant City Planner
Date: July 7, 1995
Re: Amendment to the Zoning Map: Agricultural(AG)to Rural Residential(RR)
Introduction
Larry Schlasinger and Eugene Chessen are requesting that the City amend the Official Zoning Map to
rezone a 26.1 acre site from Agricultural(AG)to Rural Residential(RR).. A copy of the July 6, 1995,
Planning Commission staff memo has been attached for your reference.
Discussion
The Chaska Interceptor Agreement was adopted by the City Council on January 18, 1994. This
agreement required that the City adopt a density standard of 64 dwellings per 640 acres for all areas
where the number of existing dwelling units, the number of developable lots shown in preliminary or
final plats as of the date of the agreement, and the number of unsubdivided parcels, exceeded the 1 unit
per 10 acre density computed on the basis of 640 acre parcels. In response to this requirement, staff
calculated the section densities for the Rural Service Areas within the City, and found that this
provision applied to seven Sections within the City, including Section 30 which contains the subject
site. It was determined that as of 1990, this section had already exceeded the density standard of 1
dwelling unit per ten acres, and was at 1.4 dwelling units per ten acres.
Alternatives
1. Do not approve the rezoning request, stating the reasons for denial.
2. Approve the rezoning request.
3. Table the decision, and request additional information from the applicant and/or staff
Planning Commission Recommendation
At their meeting on July 6, 1995, the Shakopee Planning Commission recommended the denial of the
request (Alternative No. 1) to rezone the site from Agricultural (AG) to Rural Residential (RR),
because it would be in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, the Chaska Interceptor Agreement, and
the Metropolitan Council's rural density policy.
Action Requested
Offer a motion to direct staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance to rezone the site from Agricultural
(AG)to Rural Residential (RR), and move its approval.
Note: If the City Council concurs with the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the City
Council should vote against the motion.

Case History
The subject site was annexed from Eagle Creek Township into the City of Shakopee in 1972. It was
zoned Agricultural (AG) at that time. It was rezoned to Rural Residential / Shoreland in 1979, and it
remained as such until the City rezoned the site back to Agricultural (with a Shoreland Overlay) in the
fall of 1994. This rezoning was initiated by the City to implement the provisions of the new zoning
ordinance.
Introduction
The applicant is requesting that the City amend the Official Zoning Map to rezone the site from
Agricultural (AG) to Rural Residential (RR). Exhibits are attached as follows: Exhibit A, Zoning
Map; Exhibit B, Cover Letter; Exhibit C,Map showing the existing and the proposed zoning; Exhibit
D, survey provided by the applicant; Exhibit E, Sec. 11.22, Agricultural Preservation Zone; and Sec.
11.24, Rural Residential Zone.
Background
On June 7,1994, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 377 which approved the new zoning
ordinance text. The old ordinance was seriously out of date with the current development trends. In
order to make the provisions of the new zoning ordinance effective, a new zoning map for the entire
City was needed. The majority of the City has been rezoned to the new zones, and the revised zoning
regulations are being applied to these areas. (The subject site was rezoned from Rural Residential (RR)
to Agricultural (AG) with Phase II of the remapping in November of 1994.) In an effort to implement
1
the Metropolitan Council's rural density policy of 64 dwellings per 640 acres (one section), the
Shakopee City Council adopted an interim ordinance on January 18, 1994. This interim ordinance
limited land divisions in the rural service area within Shakopee to no less than ten acres in size. The
interim ordinance expired on January 18, 1995, so the adoption of the new zoning map for these areas
was necessary prior to this expiration date. The adoption of the portion of the zoning map containing
the subject site satisfied one of the Metropolitan Council's principal concerns with the City.
To rezone the rural service areas of the City, staff put all platted parcels into the Rural Residential
Zone, and all remaining parcels were placed into the Agricultural District. The Planning Commission
reviewed this proposal at their November 9, 1994, meeting and recommended the approval of the
rezoning to the City Council. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 389,An Ordinance Amending
the City Code by Adopting the Zoning Map for Most of the City, on November 15, 1994. This
Ordinance included the rezoning of the subject site.
Considerations
1. The Comprehensive Plan has set basic policies to guide the development of the City. The
purpose of designating different areas for residential, commercial and residential land uses is to
promote the location of compatible land uses, as well as to prevent incompatible land uses from
being located in close proximity to one another. The Zoning Ordinance is one of the legal
means by which the City implements the Comprehensive Plan. Exhibits E and F provide a list
of the uses, both permitted and conditional, that are allowed in the Agricultural (AG) and
Urban Residential (R-2)Zoning Districts.
2. The Transportation Section of the draft 1990 Comprehensive Plan has designated both CR 17
and CSAH 14 as Minor Arterials. This roadway classification provides traffic movement with
limited direct access. A Minor Arterial within the rural area has the capacity to carry 1,000 to
10,000 vehicles per day.
3. The Land Use Chapter of the 1980 Comprehensive Plan has designated this area for Rural
Residential Development. However, the Land Use Chapter of the draft 1995 Comprehensive
Plan has designated the site, as well as the surrounding area, as a Future Urban Area. The
Rural Residential land use designation was eliminated from the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan
due to the Metropolitan Council's rural density policy of 64 dwellings per 640 acres, and the
problems related to providing City services to areas which have been allowed to have
uncontrolled rural residential growth.
4. The Metropolitan Council/MWCC Chaska Interceptor Sewer Agreement was adopted by the
City Council on January 18, 1994. It required that the City adopt a density standard of 64
dwellings per 640 acres for all areas where the number of existing dwelling units, the number of
developable lots shown in preliminary or final plats as of the date of the agreement, and the
number of unsubdivided parcels, exceeded the one (1) unit per ten (10) acre density computed
on the basis of 640 acre parcels (sixty-four (64) units per six hundred and forty (640) acres).
This provision applies to Sections 9, 13, 18, 19, 24, 30, and 32 within the City.
2
This change in policy is also reflected in the type of development planned for this area,
and the City's concern for controlled, efficient development of the land. For example,
the subject site contains 26.1 acres. The density requirement within the Rural
Residential Zone is one dwelling per 10 acres. If the site were rezoned for Rural
Residential development, as proposed by the applicant, the site could be platted into 2
residential lots. (Two (2) lots/26.1 acres=a density of.07 lots per acre.) However,
if this site was not rezoned, and it was not developed until such time that City services
could be provided, the site could be platted into 65 residential lots. (2.5 lots per acre/
26.1 acres=65.25 lots.)
Criteria#3 Significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have
occurred.
Finding#3 Significant changes in development patterns have not occurred.
Criteria#4 The amendment is necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan's growth
management program.
Finding #4 The Chapter of the draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan which discusses Sanitary Sewers
(Volume II: Sanitary Sewers, 1.1.a) states that, "The ease of extending sanitary
sewer service and capacity constraints shall be significant considerations for the
planning offuture land uses and Zoning in undeveloped areas". Uncontrolled growth
on the border of urbanized areas results in difficulty in serving the properties with
sanitary and storm sewers, roads, parks, schools, and fire protection. There are also
environmental concerns regarding failing sanitary sewer systems. The rezoning of this
parcel from Agricultural to Rural Residential would be in conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan's growth management program, as well as the Metropolitan
Council's rural density policy .
Alternatives
1. Recommend to the City Council the denial of the request to rezone the site from Agricultural
(AG)to Rural Residential (RR).
2. Recommend to the City Council that the site be rezoned from Agricultural (AG) to Rural
Residential (RR).
3. Continue the public hearing to allow the applicant and/or staff to provide additional
information.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
4
5. The subject site is located within Section 30, Range 22, Township 115. In response to this
requirement in the Metropolitan Council/MWCC Chaska Interceptor Sewer Agreement, City
staff calculated the section densities for the Rural Service Areas within the City. It was
determined that as of 1990, this section had already exceeded the density standard of 1
dwelling unit per ten acres, and was at 1.4 dwelling units per ten acres.
6. In an effort to implement the Metropolitan Council's rural density policy of one dwelling per
ten acres, the City initiated the rezoning process for the rural service areas of the City. Staff
proposed that all platted parcels be placed into the Rural Residential Zone with a minimum lot
size of ten (10) acres (instead of the 2.5 minimum lot size that had been required with the
previous Zoning Ordinance). All remaining parcels were placed into the Agricultural Zone.
The City Council approved the rezoning of the subject site from Rural Residential to
Agricultural with the adoption of Ordinance No. 389, An Ordinance Amending the City Code
by Adopting the Zoning Map for Most of the City, on November 15, 1994.
Findings
Section 11.83, Subd. 2 of the Shakopee City Code states that the City Council may grant a zoning
ordinance amendment when it finds that one or more of the following criteria exists:
Criteria#1 The original zoning ordinance was in error.
Finding#1 The current zoning designation for the subject site is not in error. The intent of the
rezoning from Rural Residential to Agricultural in 1994 was to implement the
Metropolitan Council's rural density policy. The draft 1995 Comprehensive Plan
eliminated the Rural Residential land use designation that had been approved with the
1980 Comprehensive Plan, and the majority of these areas are designated as "Future
Urban Area".
In addition, the City has adopted an ultimate sewer plan to serve both the City and the
future annexation areas currently located within Louisville Township. Rural
developments eventually have to be serviced by City services (sanitary and storm
sewer, police and fire services, transportation services, and schools) and the City
should encourage growth that can eventually be served. Ten acre lots are not easily
served with City services.
Criteria#2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place.
Finding#2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place. In response to
changes in regional goals and policies, the City of Shakopee changed its rural
residential policies, as evidenced by the adoption of the Metropolitan Council/MWCC
Chaska Interceptor Sewer Agreement. The 1995 draft Comprehensive Plan is
consistent with the Metropolitan Council / MWCC Chaska Interceptor Sewer
Agreement.

Action Requested
Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the denial of the request to rezone the site from
Agricultural (AG)to Rural Residential(RR), and move its approval.

Dear Council ,
I would like to propose the re-zoning of my parcel of
land in Shakopee , bordering Lake O ' Dowd . When I initially
purchased this property it was zoned rural residential
and I expected it to stay zoned the same or perhaps for
more serious development . It was , however , rezoned to
ag without my knowledge and was also eliminated from furthur
development by the moratorium . As I 'm sure you know, this
action has caused serious financial problems among the
people like myself that thought we would wait for the
completion of the bypass before we developed our property.
I would like to see this property rezoned to residential
and think the rezoning fee should certainly be waived in
these circumstances . I would be willing to accept the
approval of two 10 acre+ parcels in this situatuon , bbut
would like it known that I feel that every land owner
should have had the right to execute a PUD in a grace
period before the moratorium .

Memo To: Dennis Kraft, City Administrator
From: Nancy J. Emerson, Planning Intern
Meeting Date: July 12, 1995
Re: Final Plat for Orchard Park First Addition
INTRODUCTION:
Laurent Builders, Inc., has submitted an Application for Approval of the Final Plat for
Orchard Park. The proposed subdivision is located east of the CR 77 and south of
Vierling Drive. The proposed plat covers 31.9 acres.
DISCUSSION:
The Preliminary Plat for Orchard Park was approved by City Council on October 4, 1994.
This final plat appears to be in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plat.
A bicycle/pedestrian traffic path along CR 77 is a requirement from the preliminary plat.
However, preliminary indications were that the design of the CR 77 overpass would not
provide for bicycle/pedestrian traffic crossing the Bypass at this location, nor was a
crossing identified on the City's sidewalk/trail plan. Dead end sidewalks/trails to bridge
overpasses are generally not considered good planning due to their tendency to encourage
dangerous crossings of bridges that can result in tragic results.
Planning staff discovered this error in the Sidewalk/Trail plan and brought it to the attention of
the Planning Commission. In the interest of safety, the Planning Commission recommended
that the requirement to construct a sidewalk or trail along CR 77 be removed.
Subsequent to the Planning Commission's recommendation, additional research has occurred
at the staff level and it has been discovered that there is an 8 foot shoulder on the bridge that
could be used to construct a sidewalk or trail across the bridge. The City Council might prefer
to leave the development requirement in place and direct staff to amend the sidewalk/trail plan
to show a bridge crossing at CR 77 that would likely need to be constructed at City expense.
The current trail plan has only one crossing of the Bypass between Hwy 169 and Marschall
Road (at CR 79).
This has been a staff generated issue. The developer has expressed a willingness to comply
with either alternative.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the Final Plat for Orchard Park First Addition, subject to conditions with no
sidewalk or trail requirement along CR 77 as recommended by the Planning Commission.
2. Approve the Final Plat for Orchard Park First Addition, subject to conditions with a
sidewalk or trail requirement along CR 77 and direct staff to modify the sidewalk/trail plan
to show a crossing at the CR 77 bridge.
3. Deny the request for approval of the Final Plat for Orchard Park First Addition.
4. Table the decision for further information from the applicant and/or staff.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission Alternative No. 1, that the Final Plat for Orchard Park First
Addition be approved with the removal of condition#8 in the resolution which stated that
"Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with City design standards along the east side of
County Road 77."
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer Resolution No. 4253, A Resolution of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, Approving the
Final Plat of Orchard Park First Addition, removing condition#8, and move its adoption.

MEMO TO: Shakopee Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy J. Emerson, Planning Intern
RE: Final Plat for Orchard Park
DATE: June 29, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
Mr. Gary Laurent of Laurent Builders, Inc. has submitted an Application for Approval of the Final Plat
for Orchard Park. The proposed subdivision is located east of the CR 77 and south of Vierling Drive.
Phase one would contain 23 single family lots and 10 lots developable with 2 family homes. The
proposed plat covers 31.9 acres.
BACKGROUND:
The preliminary plat for Orchard Park was approved by City Council on October 4, 1994. This final
plat appears to be in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plat. The development
abuts the proposed Shakopee southern Bypass. Therefore, the developer is required to take the steps
necessary to mitigate noise impacts from the proposed residences.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1. The Final Plat shows Appleblossom Lane ending before it reaches the property line. Appleblossom
Lane must be extended to the property line as shown in the Preliminary Plat. The extension will
need to be brought into conformance with City Code Sec. 12.07 Subd. 1.A.1 before the recording
of the Final Plat.
2. Several errors were found in the numbering of blocks and lots. This should be corrected prior to
the recording of the Final Plat.
3. Pond A must show a dedicated on the Final Plat prior to recording.
4. The grading plan must be approved by the Engineering Department for approval prior to the
recording of the Final Plat.
5. A bicycle/pedestrian traffic path along CR 77 is a requirement from the preliminary plat. However,
the design of the CR 77 overpass has now been given to the City and does not provide for
bicycle/pedestrian traffic crossing the Bypass. Dead end sidewalks/trails to bridge overpasses are
generally not considered good planning due to their tendency to encourage dangerous crossings of
bridges that can result in tragic results. The subdivision will still have access to the City's trail
system on Fuller Street or the Upper Valley drainageway(Exhibit E). More information will be
provided on the table at the Planning Commission meeting about this issue.
6. Pond A is currently shown under Phase 2. The pond must be completed in the first phase of
development. Pond A must be added to phase one prior to the recording of the Final Plat.
7. The applicant is currently working with MNDOT for a berm permit. They were recently denied a
permit because of a potential interference with the State Project for construction of a new bridge at
CR 77 and the new TH 101 alignment. The general concept of the developer's plans are agreeable
to MNDOT. However, they can re-apply in the late fall of 1996(Exhibit D).
8. Temporary access from CR 77 has been given until Vierling Drive is accessible. No permanent
access to CR 77 is allowed.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend that the City Council approve the Final Plat for Orchard Park, subject to conditions
with a trail requirement along CR 77.
2. Recommend that the City Council approve the Final Plat for Orchard Park, subject to conditions
with no trail requirement along CR 77.
3. Recommend that the City Council deny the request for approval of the Final Plat for Orchard Park.
4. Continue the public hearing to allow time for the applicant to design the proposed plat in
accordance with the direction provided by the Planning Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat of Orchard Park, subject to the following conditions:
A. The following procedural actions must be completed prior to the recording of the final plat:
1. Approval of title opinion be the City Attorney.
2. Execution of a Developer's Agreement for construction of required improvements:
a. Street lighting to be installed in accordance with the requirements of Shakopee Public
Utilities.
b. Electrical system shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of Shakopee
Public Utilities.
c. Water system to be installed in accordance with the requirements of Shakopee Public
Utilities.
d. Installation of sanitary sewer and storm sewer system shall be in accordance with the
requirements of the Design Criteria and Standard Specifications of the City of
Shakopee.
e. Local streets within the plat shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements
of the Design Criteria and Standard Specifications of the City of Shakopee.
f. Street signs will be constructed and installed by the City of Shakopee at a cost to the
developer of$250.00 each per sign pole.
g. The Park Dedication Requirement shall be a cash payment in lieu of park land. The
park dedication fees shall be deferred on a lot by lot basis and are to be paid prior to the
release of each principal structure building permit.
.71V.
•
h. Prior to approval of the final plat, final construction plans for all public improvements,
the stormwater management plans, and the grading and erosion control plan must be
submitted and approved by the City Engineer.
i. The developer shall be responsible for grading of the plat as shown in the final drainage
plan.
3. The developer shall install necessary improvements along the southern edge of the plat, abutting
the bypass as required by the ordinance, based upon the information regarding noise impacts
from MN DOT.
4. The developer must provide on-site observation and compaction testing of house pads by a
registered professional soils engineer for the areas where native soils are displaced or where the
building sites are filled.
5. The developer must obtain the necessary approvals from the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency for stormwater facilities.
6. The following revisions and additions shall be made to the final plat drawing:
a. Extension of Appleblossom Lane to the property line.
b. Re-numbering of lots in a clearer manner
c. Dedication easement for Pond A
d. Grading Plan for Engineering review
e. Indication of Pond in Phase 1
7. Temporary access has been given from County Road 77. Agreement that no permanent access
may be taken from County Road 77. Access rights shall be limited by dedicating to the City
the access rights in an access agreement.
8. No Building Permits shall be approved for any lots within the plat that are not served by
adequate sanitary sewer services.
9. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with City design standards along the east side of
County Road 77.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the final plat for Orchard Park 1st
Addition subject to conditions, and move its approval.

Re: Permit MW-US-95-44 Control Section 7005 By-Pass TH 101
Right of Way Alteration Construction of Berm
Dear Mr. D'Heilly:
The above referenced permit for construction of a berm on MN/DOT Right Of Way is being
denied. The reason is because of a potential interference with the State Project for construction
of a new bridge at County Road 77 and the new TH 101 alignment (S.P.7005-70012).
The state project is scheduled to be let in June of 1995 with a starting date of August, 1995.
The proposed berm construction could potentially interfere with the states contractor during the
construction of the bridge and cannot be allowed at this time.
If upon completion of the states contract you wish to re-apply for a permit please do so. There
are some hydraulic issues which must be addressed, however the general concept of your plans
are agreeable to MN/DOT. The timing for this re-application would be late fall 1996 or Spring
1997.
Please contact Mike Gerbensky, MN/DOT Hydraulic Engineer at 797-3053, to address the
hydraulic issues with the future berm construction.
If you have any questions regarding this decision by MN/DOT please contact me at 582-1443.
Sincerely,
William G. Warden

Memo To: Shakopee Planning Commission
From: Nancy J. Emerson, Planning Intern
Meeting Date: July 6, 1995
Re: Final Plat for Orchard Park Alternative Recommendation
BACKGROUND:
A bicycle/pedestrian traffic path along CR 77 is a requirement from the preliminary plat.
However, the design of the CR 77 overpass has now been given to the City and does not
provide for bicycle/pedestrian traffic crossing the Bypass. Dead end sidewalks/trails to
bridge overpasses are generally not considered good planning due to their tendency to
encourage dangerous crossings of bridges that can result in tragic results. The subdivision will
still have access to the City's trail system on Fuller Street or the Upper Valley drainageway.
Staff was looking at the process for the elimination of the bicycle/pedestrian traffic path along
CR 77. The Planning Commission and City Council can direct that this development be
developed without a sidewalk/trail in this location in order to address concerns regarding
pedestrian traffic patterns and liability for use of public right-of-way.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend that the City Council approve the Final Plat for Orchard Park, subject to
conditions with no trail requirement along CR 77.
2. Recommend that the City Council approve the Final Plat for Orchard Park, subject to
conditions with a trail requirement along CR 77.
3. Recommend that the City Council deny the request for approval of the Final Plat for
Orchard Park.
4. Continue the public hearing to allow time for the applicant to design the proposed plat in
accordance with the direction provided by the Planning Commission.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative No 1: the approval of the Final Plat for Orchard Park, subject to
conditions with the removal of condition#9 which states"Sidewalks shall be constructed in
accordance with City design standards along the east side of County Road 77."
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the final plat for Orchard
Park 1st Addition subject to conditions with the removal of condition#9, and move its
approval.

Mayor oft e Vof Shakopee
Attest: City Clerk
Approved as to form: City Attorney
neL,
TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Tom Steininger, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Authorize Hiring of Police Officer
DATE: July 3 , 1995
INTRODUCTION:
The Police Department is requesting authorization to hire a
probationary police officer as soon as possible.
BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, the Police Department was awarded a COPS FAST
grant through the United States Department of Justice Community
Policing Services Office. The grant will fund up to 75% of the
cost of an officer for three years subject to a maximum of $75, 000.
Funds exist in the Police Department Budget to cover this position.
Since then, the Shakopee Police Civil Service Commission conducted
the necessary testing, established an eligible list for the
position of police officer and has certified the names of the three
candidates standing highest on that list. This list will expire on
June 29, 1997 .
The eligible list and the certification of the top three candidates
are attached to this memo.
The 1994 Union Contract establishes $2 , 463/mo. as the starting wage
for the position of police officer.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize hiring James Englin
2 . Authorize hiring Eric Nelson
3 . Authorize hiring Deanna Fink
4 . Authorize hiring no one.
RECOMMENDATION:
It has always been my policy to recommend the number one candidate
as established by testing unless something in a candidate's
background indicates that hiring him or her would not be in the
best interest of the City. In this case, James Englin has
represented himself very well during all phases of testing and has
exhibited qualifications which indicate that he is the most
suitable candidate for employment. For this reason, I respectfully
recommend alternative #1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize hiring of James Englin as a police officer with the
Shakopee Police Department at a monthly rate of $2 , 463 subject to
the satisfactory completion of pre-employment medical, physical and
psychological testing and the customary 12 month probation period.
TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Tom Steininger, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Summary of Police Officer Testing
DATE: 07 13 95
The Scott County Personnel Department developed an advertisement
for the position and worked with the Police Department and
Personnel Decisions, Inc. , to develop an instrument through which
candidates could be rated on the basis of training, education and
experience. This rating is called a T&E Score.
395 applications were mailed to potential candidates. 83 of these
were sent to candidates the department was able to identify 83
potential candidates who were females or people of color through
recruiting efforts which took place prior to the actual start of
the process.
202 applications were returned. 168 (83%) were from males. 34
(17%) were from females. Each applicant was assigned a T&E Score
based on the instrument designed by Scott County Personnel. 104
were rejected on this basis. 19 of those rejected were females.
98 applicants including 14 veterans and 15 females were invited to
take a written test. 22 (including 4 veterans and 3 females) were
disqualified when they did not appear as scheduled for testing.
continue in the testing process.
The applicants who achieved the top 28 scores on the written test
were invited to participate in a leaderless group discussion. This
group included one veteran and six females. Five people including
one veteran and one female were disqualified when they failed to
appear as scheduled for testing.
Six applicants including five white males of the and one white
female interviewed before the Police Civil Service Commission.
97 . 02% of the male candidates and 97 . 06% of the female candidates
were eliminated by the process.

Dear COPS FAST Grant Recipient:
In recent weeks,many of you have contacted the COPS Office to inquire as to the status of
your COPS FAST grant. I write to update you on our progress.
We are in the process of reviewing the community policing summary materials and the
Office of the Comptroller is analyzing your submitted budget information. Should we have any
questions or concerns regarding these materials,we will contact you and work with you in order
to get your FAST award document and payment materials to you as soon as possible. If you
have not yet submitted your COPS FAST community policing summary and budget information,
I encourage you to do so by July 1, 1995 so that we may ensure that you receive your award as
soon as possible. We cannot process your award without those documents.
The award date for COPS FAST is March 1, 1995. This means that you may hire the
officer authorized under your FAST grant and the COPS Office will reimburse allowable salary
and benefits costs from the March 1, 1995 date. Please note that no reimbursement is available
for salary and benefits costs paid prior to that date. Grant awards are being sent out on a weekly
basis. You will receive notification about your award soon.
We look forward to working with your agency throughout the life of your grant. In
addition to COPS FAST,the COPS Office will have information about our Standard Hiring

Dear Chief Steininger:
On behalf of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services,I am pleased to notify
you that your jurisdiction has been selected to receive a COPS FAST grant award to hire 1 new
and additional officer(s).
As explained in the COPS FAST Fact Sheet, in two weeks you will receive a packet
containing a Community Policing and Budget Summary which you must submit before you may
begin accessing your grant funds. As you complete these brief documents,please keep in mind
that the COPS Office will provide technical assistance in formulating both summaries, and with
any other questions you have about your grant award. The Department of Justice Response
Center is available to answer questions at 1-800-421-6770.
The COPS Office has been delighted with the overwhelming interest in COPS FAST and
the FAST Application. We received responses from over 7,000 law enforcement agencies,
requesting over 18,000 officers at a cost of over$1 billion. Because of this high level of
response, many jurisdictions who were selected received fewer than the total number of officers
they requested. In the next fiscal year we hope to fund these unmet needs to the highest possible
level, and at the present we do not expect that any additional application will be required. We
will notify you further on this point when the amount of funding available in the next fiscal year
has been determined.
COPS FAST, along with the each of the other COPS initiatives,has been designed to
simplify the task of applying for and receiving a federal grant. We are delighted to be working
in partnership with you and other agencies in this effort to increase the number of law
enforcement officers who are engaged in the practice of community policing. The COPS Office
will continue its efforts to provide law enforcement agencies with the resources they need to
better serve their community.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Karen Marty, City Attorne. /rE
DATE: July 14 , 1995
RE: New Tobacco Regulations
BACKGROUND:
At the Council meeting of July 11, 1995, the City Council
considered a draft ordinance to adopt a new section regulating
tobacco. Numerous individuals spoke regarding the need to make
tobacco products less accessible to minors . Certain retailers
requested permission to present alternative ordinance proposals .
In order to adequately consider their proposals, the draft
ordinance was tabled one week. On Friday, July 14, 1995, the Mayor
and City Attorney met with representatives from two convenience
stores and the Minnesota Grocers Association. Based upon that
meeting, the following alternative draft language is being
presented.
ORDINANCE LANGUAGE ALTERNATIVES:
Minor sales . The draft ordinance, in Subd. 4 .B, makes it
"unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to sell, furnish, or
give away any tobacco. " The retailers would like this draft
language deleted. They noted that a convenience store has 50
tobacco sales for every one liquor sale, so that it is far more
difficult to have an "of-age" manager sell tobacco than liquor.
When a manager must make the sale, it requires customers to wait,
which they do not like.
As an alternative to the draft language, if any language is
needed, the retailers proposed that minors be allowed to sell
tobacco with parental consent . Language to accomplish this could
be as follows :
B. Unless a person has obtained written consent from his or
her parents, it [It] is unlawful for any person under the
age of 18 to sell, furnish, or give away any tobacco.
Vending machines . The draft ordinance, in Subd. 5, prohibits
sale from vending machines, unless they are in a business or place
to which people under 18 are not generally permitted access . The
retailers did not submit any comments on this section.
At the Council meeting, it was suggested that vending machines
should be allowed if they were under the control of an employee.
Language to accomplish this could be as follows :
Subd. 5 . Vending Machines. No person shall offer tobacco for sale
or allow it to be sold by or from a vending machine, unless the
vending machine is equipped with an electric or electronic locking
device which must be activated by an employee for each sale . The
vending machine must be within 25 feet of the usual location of the
employee who would activate the locking device, and must be in
plain view of such person.
Self-service merchandising. The draft ordinance, in Subd. 6,
prohibits offering tobacco for sale or allowing it to be sold "from
an open display to which the public has access without the
intervention of an employee. " The retailers recommended dividing
this into two different sections, one for cigarette cartons, and
one for single or multiple packs of other tobacco products .
Language to accomplish their proposed regulations could be as
follows :
Subd. 6 . Self-Service Merchandising. No person may offer tobacco
for sale or allow it to be sold from an open display to which the
public has access without the intervention of an employee, except
as follows :
A. Cigarette Cartons. Cigarette cartons may be sold from a
display rack equipped with clear shields, when the
removal of each carton triggers an alarm or chime which
is clearly audible to a clerk. The display rack must be
in plain view of a clerk.
B. Other Tobacco. Other tobacco products may be sold from
a display rack located on top of, above, or behind the
check-out counter. The display rack must be in plain
view of a clerk and the tobacco products accessible only
by the clerk or in plain view of the clerk.
Responsibility. The draft ordinance, in Subd. 7, address
responsibility of the licensee for the conduct of its employees .
In addition to the provision in this section, the retailers propose
that each retailer be required to post signs on all tobacco
displays regarding shoplifting. They also recommended requiring
training of employees . Language to accomplish this could be as
follows :
B. The licensee shall post signs on all tobacco display
racks that all shoplifters will be prosecuted.
C. Before being issued a license each year, each licensee
shall certify that all its clerks have been trained
regarding the state law prohibiting sales to minors and
how to request identification of persons attempting to
buy tobacco products .
2
•
Civil penalties . The draft ordinance, in Subd. 8, sets forth
civil penalties . The retailers believe that the caps on the fines
and suspensions are too high. They indicated that any suspension
longer than seven days could put a smaller retailer out of
business . Any suspension results not only in lost sales, but also
in lost customers . They recommend amending the penalty in Subd.
8 .8 to be a civil penalty of up to $200, only (delete "and a
suspension of the license for up to 30 days" ) . They recommend
amending the penalty in Subd. 8 .0 to be a civil penalty of up to
$400, only (delete "$500 and a suspension of the license for up to
90 days" ) . They recommend amending Subd. 8 .D to provide for a
civil penalty of up to $700, and a suspension of up to 7 days
(delete "or revocation" and add at the end "for up to 7 days" ) .
Other matters . We discussed several other matters . Everyone
agreed that the ordinance should not simply codify the status quo.
We discussed whether the repeated violations should be counted
within only a one-year period, or whether this should be stretched
to 24 months, but no consensus was reached. We discussed requiring
that the display racks for cigarette cartons be within a specified
number of feet of the clerk' s position, but discarded this as
unnecessary (since the enforcement is the key issue) . We also
discussed imposing a civil penalty on the erring clerk in any
license suspension hearing, but left this out because the retailers
feared that this could harm the store in attempting to hire
employees .
Representatives of the retailers will be present at the
Council meeting to address any questions the Council may have .
ALTERNATIVES :
1 . Adopt Ordinance No. 414 as submitted last Tuesday night .
2 . Amend Ordinance No. 414 to reflect the concerns of the
retailers or others .
3 . Do not adopt revisions to the tobacco section of the City
Code .
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and adopt an ordinance.

EXPLANATION TO ORDINANCE y/ Y
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Law Department
PURPOSE: To amend City Code Chapter 6, Other Business
Regulation and Licensing, by repealing Sec . 6 . 23 ,
Tobacco, and adopting one new section in lieu
thereof .
REMARKS: The City has been requested by Minnesota ASSIST
Project to consider tightening up our ordinance restricting the
sale of tobacco. In particular, they recommend taking all
possible steps to make cigarettes inaccessible to minors . This
includes eliminating cigarette vending machines in locations
easily utilized by minors, barring self-service displays of
tobacco products, and prohibiting minors from selling tobacco.
The first two make it more difficult for minors to acquire
tobacco, and the third eliminates the problem of peer pressure to
sell tobacco in violation of state law.
The draft ordinance also clarifies penalties for violation
of the ordinance and spells out the hearing process for license
suspension or revocation.
The language prohibiting sale of tobacco to minors was
deleted, since under state law this is a gross misdemeanor.
Under our ordinance, it was a petty misdemeanor. Staff does not
recommend having an ordinance prohibiting the same behavior as a
state law, only with a lower penalty.
ALTERNATIVES :
1 . Adopt the revised tobacco ordinance.
2 . Amend the draft tobacco ordinance, and then adopt it .
3 . Leave the ordinance as it currently is written.
ACTION REQUESTED: Offer Ordinance No. mi , an ordinance
amending City Code Chapter 6, Other Business Regulation and
Licensing, by repealing Sec . 6 . 23 , Tobacco, and adopting one new
section in lieu thereof, and move its adoption.

Re: sale of Tobacco to Children
Dear Mayor Laurent and Members of the City Council:
I understand that you are considering a proposal to better protect the young people of
Shakopee from the illegal sale of tobacco products. I want to congratulate you for taking up
this important subject, and encourage you to act decisively on behalf of the children of your
community. Last year, my office joined with a bi-partisan group of twenty-seven other state
attorneys general to study this problem. We offered a series of recommendations for
legislation. The ordinance that you are considering is entirely consistent with our findings and
recommendations.
As I am sure you know, tobacco products are the greatest preventable cause of death and
disease in our society. Unfortunately, most smokers become hooked on tobacco before they
are even old enough to purchase it legally. Tomorrow, as happens every single day, about
sixty more Minnesota youngsters will begin smoking illegally; fifteen of those youngsters will
eventually die as a result of the habit. Every year, more than 5,000 Minnesota children
condemn themselves to eventual tobacco-related deaths in this way.
One reason this cycle of addiction continues is that our laws against selling tobacco to
minors have been widely ignored. Studies show that, on average, underage customers are able
to buy tobacco illegally two-thirds of the time. To put it differently, when an underage teen
tries to buy cigarettes, the odds are two-to-one that the store will make the illegal sale, rather
than ask the youngster for an ID. We will not end this widespread lawbreaking until we hold
stores accountable for these illegal sales, along with the individual salesclerks and the underage
customers. Under state law today, the salesclerk and the customer can each be charged with a
crime, but the store itself has no legal responsibility whatsoever. It is critical that we bring the
stores into the circle of responsibility.

The ordinance you are considering, like ordinances recently adopted in Fergus Falls,
Montevideo, Litchfield and Savage, would do just that. By licensing tobacco vendors, setting
increasing penalties for repeated violations, backing the ordinance with annual compliance
checks, banning vending machines, and eliminating self-service sales of tobacco, you will send
the message that Shakopee is serious about solving this problem. I encourage you to send that
message.
Best regards.

To Whom It May Concern:
In that I am on vacation and out-of-town on the week of July 10th, I
would like to express my feelings regarding the pending smoking
ordinance via letter.
As you are aware, smoking is the #1 cause of premature death in our
country. Approximately 400,000 people die prematurely of tobacco
related causes in the United States each year. This is the equivalent
of two 747s going down every day of the year. It is also clear that
it is unusual for people to become addicted to cigarettes after the
age of 20. It is also clear that certain chemicals in tobacco, such
as nicotine, are highly addictive.
In summary, I believe that the use of tobacco products is the #1
health problem in our country. It is also very clear to me that
prevention will be the most effective method of dealing with this
problem. If it is against the law for citizens to purchase tobacco
products under the age of 18, I believe that we have a very strong
obligation to strictly enforce this law.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely Yours,

TOBACCO USE
The Problem: Tobacco use causes extensive disease, death, and economic
costs for both smokers and nonsmokers in Hennepin County.
4y Goal Statement: Eliminate tobacco use among Hennepin County residents.
Year 2000 Objective: Reduce
cigarette smoking by children and youth so that no
►ol more than 15 percent of students in Hennepin County will
th report at least weekly smoking by twelfth grade. (Baseline
to ' 1989: 28% of female and 25% of male twelfth grade students
reported at least weekly smoking. 1992 Update: 23.7%
females and 18.1% males smoked at least weekly.)
Reduce the percentage of Hennepin County adults who smoke
to 15 percent. (Baseline 1988: 23% of adults smoked. 1993
Update: 23% of adults smoked.)
Reduce monthly spit(smokeless)tobacco use by Hennepin
County twelfth-grade males to no more than 5 percent.
(Baseline 1989: 19.8% of twelfth-grade males used spit
tobacco at least monthly. 1992 Update: 19.2% used monthly.)
Reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke by
increasing the number of smoke free sites to 100 percent of
4 public buildings, to 80 percent of worksites, and to 50 percent
of restaurants. (No baseline data available for Hennepin
County.)
Increase to 95 percent the compliance with state law that
restricts the sale of tobacco products to children under 18
years of age. (No baseline data available for Hennepin
County.)
Affected/At Risk Populations: About 90 percent of smokers start before age 21;50 percent
start before age 18.1
According to the 1989 and 1992 Minnesota Student Surveys,
daily tobacco use by Minnesota high school seniors remained
unchanged at 22 percent.
Twenty-three percent of Hennepin County adults are current
regular smokers.2
i -
Smoking rates in Minnesota are significantly higher for people
with lower educational levels and people who work in service,
craft or laborer occupations.?
F
Nature and Extent of the Problem:
Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in Minnesota and the United States,
,A outnumbering the combined totals for alcohol,cocaine,heroin,suicide/homicide,traffic
accidents and AIDS. In 1992, 5,900 deaths in Minnesota were attributed to smoking- 17
percent of all Minnesota deaths. Smoking contributes to disease, death and disability due to
cardiovascular diseases including heart attack and stroke;cancer including lung,uterine,cervix,
[Alcohol,Tobacco &Other Drug Use 7
bladder,pancreas, and kidney; respiratory diseases including pneumonia,asthma,bronchitis,
and emphysema; and cigarette-ignited fires. In addition,smoking contributes to low birth
weight and infant deaths and passive smoke has been found to cause respiratory problems and
middle ear infections in children.4
U.S.
The annual prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults in the United States declined 40
percent during 1965-1990 (from 42.4% to 25.5%) but was virtually unchanged during 1990-
1993.5 Prevalence of current smokers in 1993 was 25.0 percent. (Current smokers were defined
as those who had smoked 100 cigarettes and now smoked either every day or some days.)
Smoking prevalence was highest among men,American Indians,African Americans and people
with low incomes. Although current smoking rates did not change between 1992 and 1993, the
prevalence of daily smoking in 1993 was significantly lower than in 1992 (20.4% and 22.3%
respectively.). This may reflect the increase in restrictive worksite and public smoking policies.5
From 1984-1993,prevalence of cigarette smoking remained constant among U.S.high school
seniors. The prevalence of daily cigarette smoking among high school seniors in 1993 was 19
percent. Daily smoking rates were slightly higher for males(19.0%)than females (18.2%).
Between 1984 and 1993 prevalence increased slightly for male seniors and White seniors,
decreased slightly for female seniors, and decreased sharply for African American high school
seniors (from 9% in 1984 to 4.4% in 1993).6
Minnesota
The self-reported current smoking rate by Minnesota adults has shown a modest decline from
26.4 percent in 1986 to 22 percent in 1992. Current smoking is defined as ever smoked 100
cigarettes and smokes now. Smoking prevalence is slightly higher among men than women
(23.8% and 20.4% respectively) and is highest among low income,less educated, African i
American,Hispanic,and American Indian communities.?
/Overall student use of tobacco (cigarettes and spit tobacco) in Minnesota has shown virtually
% no change in the past few years according to the Minnesota Student Survey. More than one out
/ of five high school seniors uses tobacco daily (cigarettes or spit tobacco). Twenty-two percent
of Minnesota 12th graders reported daily tobacco use in 1992. Seventeen percent of males and
18 percent of females reported daily use of cigarettes. Twelve percent of Minnesota 12th grade
males reported daily use of spit tobacco.8
Hennepin County
From 1985 to 1993 the rate of adult smoking in Hennepin County has remained unchanged at
23 percent (defined as ever smoked 100 cigarettes and smokes now).2,11
In Hennepin County, 16 percent of 12th grade students reported daily smoking in 1992 (13%of
males and 19% of females). This represents a 16 percent decline in daily smoking rates among
high school seniors from a rate of 21 percent in 1989.
Eleven percent of.12th grade males reported daily use of spit tobacco in 1992 which was
•
unchanged from 1989. Daily use of spit tobacco by 9th grade males increased dramatically
from 2.7 percent in 1989 to 4.6 percent in 1992. Five percent of 12th grade females report
occasional use of spit tobacco (less than monthly).10

The economic costs attributable to smoking are extensive. Minnesota's estimated health care
costs for smoking=attributable diseases totaled $470 million in 1992. This includes the costs of
hospitals,physicians and nurses,nursing homes, and medications. Income lost as a result of
premature death or disability related to smoking was$678 million. The total estimated cost of
smoking equals $262 per Minnesota resident per year or$270,384,000 in Hennepin County.4
Community Resources:
Many organizations exist in Hennepin County that address tobacco control issues in a variety
of ways. These include schools,voluntary health organizations,health care providers,public
health agencies,chemical dependency treatment programs,and others. The following
organizations have developed collaborative efforts to reduce tobacco use in Hennepin County
• and/or Minnesota: The Community Prevention Coalition of Hennepin County,the Minnesota
a Coalition for a Smoke Free Society 2000, and the Minnesota ASSIST Project at the Minnesota
Department of Health.
Implications:
S/ome progress has been made in Hennepin County since 1989 toward the objective of a 15
percent smoking rate for high school seniors. Regular smoking(at least weekly) among male high
school students in 12th grade declined 28 percent from 1989 to 1992. Regular smoking among
female high school seniors declined 14 percent during the same time period. Female students
continue to smoke at higher rates,and increased efforts need to be made to reach this group.
Although there has been almost no change in spit tobacco use among male high school seniors,
there has been an increase in weekly use of almost 50 percent among 9th grade males. Given the
addictive nature of spit tobacco, this trend could result in higher spit tobacco rates in coming
years for high school males.
There has been no reduction in the adult smoking rate in Hennepin County since 1985.
Increased efforts are needed to reach populations at highest risk for smoking.
The economic costs and human costs of smoking continue to rise. According to the Minnesota
Department of Health, the estimated health care costs resulting from smoking increased 32
percent between 1990 and 1992.4 These data most likely underestimate the total costs of
smoking in Minnesota since they do not reflect morbidity,mortality, and economic costs related
to exposure to second-hand smoke.

Community Tobacco Control ❖ 7
REDUCING Section 3
CHILDREN 'S ACCESS
TO TOBACCO
Background ❖
Each day in the United States 5,000 people who smoke either quit
smoking or die. To maintain a constant market for cigarettes, the
tobacco companies must recruit 5,000 new smokers per day. Where
do they come from? They come primarily from children: 90
percent of people who smoke started before their 19th birthday; 60
- percent before they were 14. More people start smoking at age 13
than at any other age. More than 6 million Americans under the age
of 18 use tobacco; it is estimated that 81,000 Minnesotans 14 to 18
years old smoke on a daily basis.
We've all seen kids as young as 12, some even younger,
hanging out on a corner smoking. It is illegal for minors to smoke
or to buy cigarettes. So where do they get them? From friends?
From parents? By shoplifting? Yes to all of these. But by far the
easiest way for kids to get cigarettes is simply to walk into a store
and buy them. They are seldom asked for an ID. If they are asked,
they offer excuses and often succeed in purchasing the tobacco.
In a 1987 University of Minnesota study, over 79 percent of
minors surveyed (both those who smoke and those who do not
smoke) said that cigarettes would be very easy for them to get. Of
those who smoked (and presumably knew), 97 percent said that
cigarettes are very easy to get. In actual trials, according to the
study, children as young as 13 were successful almost 80 percent of
the time in buying from cigarette machines. Over-the-counter
success rates ranged from about 30 percent for very young minors to
almost 80 percent for more mature teenage girls.
Clearly, increasing compliance with age-of-sale laws is a critical
first step toward reducing minors' access to tobacco and ultimately
reducing smoking rates.
A person's first few cigarettes do not represent a lifetime
commitment. However, nicotine is one of the most powerfully
addictive substances known. It is rare for a person to remain a

sell. One of the better payers in this retail game is the tobacco
industry. Vendors frequently pay retailers a fee (called a slotting
fee) for highly visible shelf space. Tobacco retailers may also
receive discounts for placement of advertisements or for the number
of cartons visible to the customer. A retailer may receive as much
as $50 per month just for keeping a small promotional display rack "The almost
stocked and on the counter. Tobacco companies or wholesalers also omnipresent tobacco
supply store fixtures ranging from tobacco racks,clocks, and carry- ads in stores give the
out baskets, to checkout counters.
Some other practices may be illegal, but some retailers admit impression that
that they receive discounts on unrelated merchandise (fresh tobacco is just
vegetables, for example) based on the number of cartons of another retail
cigarettes they sell. Other retailers claim they receive rebates product, not a
directly from the manufacturer as an incentive to stock and sell powerfully addictive
certain brands of cigarettes. drug.PP
Rooftop billboard advertising may also provide additional
income for some store owners. Typically, billboard companies have
ten-year leases which may be unbreakable even if the building is
sold. Although the annual fees paid to the building owner are often
not substantial, those inside the industry indicate that it is not
uncommon for billboard companies to cover costs of some roof and
structural repairs, thus providing a modest, untaxed benefit.
Building owners seldom have any control over the content of the
billboard advertising. A St. Paul pharmacy that does not sell
•
tobacco or allow any tobacco use at its lunch counter has two
rooftop signs that for many years have promoted Camel cigarettes.
The amount of money received by vendors from wholesalers
and manufacturers is related to the size of the store and to the
number of cigarettes sold. A modest sized convenience store may
receive up to $10,000 per year in slotting, promotional and joint
advertising fees. Some store operators say this approximates their
profit.
Money given to retailers to influence placement of their
products has little social importance for most products. When the
product is tobacco, the consequences are significant. The almost
omnipresent tobacco ads in stores give the impression that tobacco
is just another retail product, not a powerfully addictive drug.
Although tobacco is the single most shoplifted item, slotting fees
ensure that the product is displayed in a way which makes it
particularly easy to steal. Consider the way that audio tape cassettes
are sold. They are also a high priced item, small and easy to steal.
To prevent shoplifting, the cassettes may be stored in a locked
cabinet. They are often fastened to large plastic carriers which are
bulky and hard to conceal.
Tobacco, because of its method of display, virtually invites
shoplifting. And shoplifting represents a major source of cigarettes

holders. A vendor is fined $200 on the first offense, $400 on the
second, receives a 30 day suspension on the third violation, and
license revocation on the fourth.
Licensing personnel(inspectors or clerks) to conduct
compliance checks following a fixed protocol. Vendors may simply
sign a form admitting their guilt and pay the fine, or they can appeal
to an administrative law judge. Several dozen vendors have been
fined; one has appealed. The St. Paul licensing department believes
that the fine covers expenses.
Please refer to Appendix B for model ordinances.
Compliance Checks
It can not be emphasized too strongly: regular compliance checks
are crucial. Without them it is difficult to determine whether
licensing laws are being followed. SuperAmerica's program to
prevent the sale of tobacco to minors is built around regular
compliance checks. It is recognized as one of the most effective
self-administered programs in the state. Details for performing
compliance checks can be found in Appendix B.
Other Policy Measures
Following are other measures to help prevent the sale of tobacco to
minors.
• Prohibit the sale of tobacco products from vending machines.
Minnesota state law restricts the location of cigarette vending "A total ban [of
machines and specifies that in most locations the machines must be vending machines] is
placed in plain view of an employee and furnished with a locking easy to understand
device. Surveys conducted by the University of Minnesota in May and enforce. "
1991 showed that the law made it only slightly harder for a 15 year
old to buy from a vending machine than before the law was passed.
Fortunately, the law also states that cities may pass more
restrictive laws. Total bans have been adopted by at least 20
Minnesota cities. Banning cigarette machines is symbolically
significant. Selling cigarettes from a vending machine undermines
the message that tobacco is dangerous and addictive. A total ban is
easy to understand and enforce. The hodgepodge of restrictions in
the state law is replaced by one requirement for all.
• Prohibit self-service of all tobacco products. Focus groups with
teenagers who smoke indicate that having to ask a clerk for
Community Tobacco Control ❖ 29
DOING BATTLE WITH Section 7
THE TOBACCO
INDUSTRY
Industry Tactics ❖
The following industry tactics are frequently used. Some of these
tactics are more common in large cities or at the state level.
• Hiring high power lobbyists with lots of money. When the
Tobacco Institute seeks a lobbyist it tries to hire people with tight
party ties and broad influence. It may supply strategy from the
national level but it hires local talent as that gets more bang for the
buck at the local level. These lobbyists have lots of financial
resources available to them. Another tactic is to hire a well known
local retired politician to represent them. Particularly in large cities
they often succeed in purchasing the services of a former mayor or
council person.
• Suggesting the issue be resolved at a different level of
government. Whatever level they are dealing with, they want that
policy decision made at a different level.
• Presenting their own proposal. Their proposal may appear to
address the problem but may in fact make matters worse or further
protect the tobacco companies. This approach gives people the
illusion they are voting for a tobacco control bill; they are really
voting for non-regulation.
• Funding a study. If it looks like significant regulation is going to
pass, the industry may try to fund a study, hopefully one that takes
several years.
• Pretending to be the supporter of workers' rights, particularly
union workers' rights. Sometimes union personnel testify against a
bill in the name of saving union jobs.
Community Tobacco Control ❖ 31
• Calling an addiction a choice and presenting it as an almost
virtuous choice. It is hard to listen to tobacco representatives for
more that a few moments without hearing them say something about
adult customs or choices.
• Saying that anything that threatens to reduce tobacco use is a
threat to jobs. Jobs of all kinds. The job cost is always greatly
exaggerated. If people do not spend their money on cigarettes, they
will spend it on something else. For example, the delivery person
who loses a bit of cigarette money will likely pick up additional
potato chip money. About 200,000 people make their living off
tobacco. Since all policy actions will create only a slow decline in
usage,jobs will have ample time to shift as demand falls.
• Buying off the opposition with charitable contributions. Generous
support to minority groups and the women's movement has gone a
long way toward buying their silence on the smoking issue.
• Having local vendors represent their position. The industry, like
the activists, know that local citizens carry more weight than
outsiders. Expect a local distributor or convenience store operator
to be the point person.
• Claiming that no problem exists or that the industry has already
adequately addressed it. Shoplifting and illegal sales to minors are
among the problems the industry denies.
• Threats of litigation. The industry frequently threatens to sue, but
they seldom do. For example, they made specific threats to sue in
Chanhassen and White Bear Lake when they were considering new
ordinances. They made veiled threats to sue Preston when it passed
point-of-sale advertising restrictions. In none of these cases did
they actually sue. But this tactic of intimidation has worked in
many cities to prevent ordinances from passing.
• Quotes out of context. Quotes from credible sources saying
surprising things are often an industry manipulated quote out of
context("QOT's"). Famous QOT's come from C. Everett Koop,
Elizabeth Whelan, and even Supreme Court Justice Harry
Blackman. Since these quotes may be diced from some unknown
speech or publication, it is usually hard to trace them down. The
best approach is probably to assume the industry quote is out of
context and provide a clear statement, in context, from the same
source as a counter.
Community Tobacco Control ❖ 33
• Try to have both people who smoke and people who do not smoke
testify. This is not an anti-smoker effort.
• In most circumstances, only one person should address the health
issues. Most council members know the basic facts and do not want
to hear numerous speeches on the hazards of smoking. The
exception to this would be personal statements from people who are
struggling with addiction or have experienced personal loss.
• Write our your testimony! Very experienced speakers may be "This is not an
able to ad lib, but experienced speakers seldom attempt it. Those anti-smoker effort."
who try to present their information without adequate preparation
are likely to ramble and to be ineffective, or worse, get led into areas
about which they are not knowledgeable, thus confusing the debate.
• Designate one person to handle questions. That person must be
prepared to answer questions aimed to shift the topic, such as,
"Don't you really just want to ban smoking altogether?"
• Have one person as the floor leader. This person normally will
not be a speaker. He or she must concentrate on the big picture and
not about what to say when it is his or her turn to speak. The floor
leader must be able to make last minute decisions on whether a
particular person should speak if time is running short. Agree in
advance who the floor leader will be and abide by his or her
decisions.
• Do not rely on outside experts except for specific factual
information. Outsiders to the community may be unwelcome since
they do not know the community dynamics. Although an outside
expert may very well be able to provide you with credibility in some
research or statistical area,primary support for any ordinance must
come from the community.
• Keep testimony brief. It is fine to have 20 people speak,but only
if most of them primarily make "me too" presentations; for
example, "I represent XYZ organization and we also support this
ordinance because . . . ." These presentations should last only one
to two minutes. Even your"me too" supporters should have
prepared testimony.
• Provide ample information to the local media. The media like
interesting side stories as well as just dry facts. Do not
underestimate the impact of supportive news coverage. Avoid
criticizing anyone when talking to the media; praise your supporters
and ignore the rest.
RECOMMENDED GOALS, OBJECTIVES, METHODOLOGY
for Community Level
TOBACCO PREVENTION AND CONTROL
June 1995
•
Use of tobacco products is the nation's deadliest addiction. Smoking cigarettes is
the leading cause of avoidable death in our nation, state and most likely in your
community. Your community has a compelling interest in reducing the health and
economic burden of tobacco. This is accomplished by preventing young people from
starting to use tobacco, getting users to quit and eliminate exposure to environmental •
tobacco smoke in public places for all children and nonsmokers.
TOBACCO:AN ISSUE OF PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN
According to the 1994 Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report, Growing Up Tobacco Free,
• most people (89%) who smoke began using cigarettes and 71% began daily smoking by
or at the age of 18. Most smokers begin smoking during childhood and adolescence, and
nicotine addiction begins during the first few years of tobacco use. The report says that
clearly, the decisions young people make about smoking will have life time consequences.
Those who choose not to smoke before age 18 are unlikely to pick up the habit as adults
and those who smoke before age 18 are likely to become addicted, and their addiction may
persist throughout their entire lives.
In the past three years through the guidance and direction of the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) the primary emphasis for
tobacco prevention and control has changed to a focus on changing the conditions e.g.,
policies in the community to protect and safeguard children from tobacco use, access and
exposure. A public policy approach to tobacco use prevention and control has three
primary strategies which can be used at the community level and include the following:
•Reduce youth tobacco use and access
• Eliminate exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
• Reduce exposure to advertising and promotion
The following are from Minnesota's Public Health Goals document. The suggested
methods and information comes from documents which are cited in the reference segment
of this paper. These reference documents are available from the Section for Nonsmoking
and Health (612) 623-5006.
GOAL #1. Increase to 95%, compliance with the state law that restricts the sale of
tobacco products to children under 18 years of age.
METHOD: Select one or more communities in the county to complete the public health
process of assessment, policy development and planning and assurance, as it relates to
this goal. A common method for assessing compliance with the law is through
complicance checks, done in collaboration with local law enforcement officials. This
requires gathering data that accurately describe the problem of tobacco sales to minors,
the business community and the general public. Compliance checks can also be formal
enforcement operations, in which merchants are penalized for violating provisions of
youth access legislation.
Another reason to have detailed information to substantiate your policy recommendation
is that all legislation must be based on a finding or set of facts that provide the rationale
for enacting the ordinance. The planning and development of a local public policy
initiative naturally follows the analysis of data from compliance checks that can then
lead to working with a city council to strengthen or introduce a city ordinance regarding
youth access to tobacco products.
•
GOAL # 2 Reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) for all children,
youth and nonsmokers, by increasing to 100% the number of public buildings, to 80%
the number of work sites, and to 50% the number of restaurants that are smoke free.
METHOD: Select one or more communities in the county to assess the extent of smoke
free public buildings . This could be followed by the analysis of the data, planning and
policy development for adoption of smoke free building policy by each respective
governmental entity eg. city, county, park and recreation authority etc.
GOAL #3 Reduce the percentage of adults who smoke from 22.5 % to 15 percent.
(This is equivalent to a 33% reduction to the county level synthetic BRFSS data)
METHOD: Most smoking cessation programs that are available to community members
are provided through voluntary health associations such as, American Cancer Society,
American Heart Association or the American Lung Association. Another significant
provider of smoking cessation programs is through community hospitals or the schools
community education programs. You can work collaboratively with these community
groups to assure that smoking cessation programs are advertised and available in the
community for smokers who choose to quit.
GOAL #4 Reduce tobacco use by children and youth so that by their senior year in high
school the percentage of daily use of cigarette or spit tobacco is reduced from 22% to 12
percent. (School district or county level data ffrom the student survey could be used for
local data, seeking a 45% reduction for daily student use)
METHOD: To achieve this goal, refer to and implement the methods for goals number
#1 (youth access), goal #2 (exposure to ETS), and goal #3 (smoking cessation
services)

The Issue: Youth Access to Tobacco
• The tobacco industry must recruit over 5000 new smokers each day to smoking in
order to maintain constant cigarette use levels.
• Tobacco is a gateway drug.Youth who smoke are 15 times more likely than non-
smokers to "graduate" to narcotic drugs.
• University of Minnesota study(school survey,tenth grades,1987;9-11 grades 1989).
- 87% of youth who smoke report having purchased tobacco through
a vending machine at least once.
- Over 79% of students said that cigarettes would be very easy for
them to get. This includes 79%of non-smokers as well as
97% of youth who smoke.
- Over half of tenth graders who smoke named vending machines
as a primary source of cigarettes.
- The great majority of teenagers obtain their cigarettes by purchasing
them. Only 19% of the tenth graders reported getting them at home.
• Almost 60% of people who smoke start by age of 14;90%begin smoking by the age of
19. More people start smoking at age 13 than any other.
• More than 6 million American under the age of 18 use tobacco;it is estimated that
81,000 Minnesotans 14-18 years old smoke on a daily basis.
• The earlier a child starts using tobacco, the more likely it is that he or she will be
unable to quit,and to subsequently die of tobacco-induced disease.
• A child who smokes just one pack of cigarettes will develop a substantial tolerance
to the drug effect of nicotine,which is the critical first step in the addiction process.
• Nicotine,an addictive substance found in cigarettes,may be harder to quit using
than heroin. More than one-half of high school seniors who smoke daily have tried
to quite without success.
• Making tobacco inaccessible to youth gives a consistent message that tobacco use is
not a youth activity.
• As parents and concerned community members,we have the right to expect that our
children will not be sold products which are illegal for them to use.

SHAKOPEE RETAILER TOBACCO ORDINANCE PROPOSALS
1. Cigarette cartons shall be sold from display racks equipped with clear shields that allow
the removal by an adult customer of a single carton of cigarettes and an audible alarm
or chime which is activated each time that a carton of cigarettes is removed from the
self-service display rack or sold from display racks equipped with clear doors that an
adult customer can access for a carton of cigarettes.
2. Single and multiple packs of cigarettes, chewing tobacco and cigars shall be displayed
within the immediate vicinity and plain view of a responsible employee so that the
employee can see the single or multiple packs on display at all times.
3. Single and multiple packs of cigarettes, chewing tobacco and cigars shall be displayed
in the following two manners:
A. On top of or in front of the check out counter so that a responsible
employee can see the single or multiple packs on display at all times and
directly supervise the accessibility of the display to customers; or
B. In a display rack equipped with clear doors and is located in the
immediate vicinity and plain view of a responsible employee who can
directly supervise the accessibility of the display rack by customers.

Executive Summary
In May, 1994 twelve state Attorneys General formed a Working Group to study
the problem of illegal tobacco sales to minors.' Despite state laws prohibiting these sales,
- underage customers purchase over half a billion packs of cigarettes and twenty-six million
containers of chewing tobacco every year. The Attorneys General are concerned about these
sales because, in addition to being illegal, cigarette smoking is an addiction typically initiated
during the teenage years.
Ninety percent of smokers report that they began smoking as teenagers. The
average age at which teenage smokers first begin smoking is thirteen to fourteen years, and by
age eighteen, teens are smoking at a rate very near the adult rate. Unlike adolescent use of
alcohol and other drugs, adolescent smoking behavior has not declined since the early 1980's,
and some statistics show an increase in underage smoking. In 1990, nineteen percent of high
school seniors smoked daily, and twenty-nine percent had smoked in the last month.
These smoking rates illustrate that young people have ready access to tobacco.
And, from all studies, it appears that their major source of tobacco is from over-the-counter
sales by retail merchants. Because of the health hazards that flow from tobacco use, Congress,
in 1992, passed legislation mandating that states improve their enforcement of laws prohibit-
ing the sale of tobacco products to minors. To promote compliance with the requirements of
this federal legislation and with our state laws, the Working Group met with various segments
of the retail community, including representatives from convenience stores, supermarkets, gas
station stores, drugstores, and discount stores, as well as their respective trade associations, to

determine what efforts were being made by retailers to prevent tobacco sales to minors. The
Working Group was particularly interested in those efforts that had proven most effective at
reducing or eliminating illegal tobacco sales.
After carefully reviewing the information we gathered during the course of this
investigation, including our meetings with the retail industry and our examination of their
current training materials, electronic price scanner systems, product placement criteria, signage
and in-house monitoring systems, the Working Group recommends that the following measu-
res be undertaken by all tobacco retailers to substantially reduce illegal tobacco sales to minors:
• USE SECRET SHOPPERS TO MONITOR EMPLOYEE COMPLIANCE WITH
THE LAW AND REWARD EMPLOYEES WHO COMPLY
• PROGRAM EXISTING ELECTRONIC PRICE SCANNERS WITH TOBACCO
"LOCKS" TO HELP CONTROL TOBACCO SALES
• EXPEDITE THE USE OF PRICE SCANNER SYSTEMS WITH TOBACCO
"LOCKS"
• DEVELOP EFFECTIVE TRAINING MATERIALS ON AVOIDING ILLEGAL
TOBACCO SALES TO MINORS, AND GIVE THIS TRAINING EQUAL
EMPHASIS WITH TRAINING ON AVOIDING ILLEGAL ALCOHOL SALES
• HOLD STORE MANAGERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR STORES'
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW
• KEEP TOBACCO PRODUCTS BEHIND THE SALES COUNTER OR IN
LOCKED CASES
• DO NOT SELL SINGLE CIGARETTES EITHER IN OPEN DISPLAYS OR
FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER
• POST PROMINENT SIGNS TO REINFORCE THE LAW
• REMOVE CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINES FROM RETAIL STORES
• REQUIRE PROOF OF AGE, IN THE FORM OF A RELIABLE
PHOTOGRAPHIC IDENTIFICATION, FOR ANYONE WHO APPEARS TO BE
TWENTY-FIVE OR YOUNGER
• REMOVE ADVERTISEMENTS, IN-STORE DISPLAYS AND PROMOTIONAL
ITEMS THAT ENCOURAGE MINORS TO BUY TOBACCO
-2-
• IN THE ALTERNATIVE, RETAILERS WHO PREFER NOT TO TAKE
PROACTIVE STEPS TO PREVENT ILLEGAL SALES SHOULD CONSIDER
SIMPLY ELIMINATING TOBACCO FROM THEIR STORES
The Working Group also recommends that the states strengthen laws banning the
sale of tobacco to minors and improve enforcement by applying the following principles:
• LEGISLATURES SHOULD BE WARY OF SOLUTIONS ADVANCED BY THE
TOBACCO INDUSTRY
• STATE LEGISLATION SHOULD NOT PRE-EMPT LOCAL ORDINANCES
• STATE LAWS SHOULD CREATE OR REQUIRE A LICENSING SYSTEM
FOR TOBACCO SALES
• THE LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM SHOULD BE SELF-
SUPPORTING
• THE LICENSING SYSTEM SHOULD USE GRADUATED FINES, WITH
LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR REPEAT OFFENSES
• THE LAW SHOULD INCLUDE POSITIVE INCENTIVES FOR RESPONSIBLE
RETAILING
• THE LAW SHOULD REQUIRE PERIODIC COMPLIANCE CHECKS
• THE LAW SHOULD NOT LIMIT WHO CAN CONDUCT COMPLIANCE
TESTS
• STATE LAWS SHOULD LIMIT YOUTH ACCESS TO TOBACCO BY
RESTRICTING VENDING MACHINE SALES AND PROHIBITING FREE
SAMPLING
• STATE LAWS SHOULD REQUIRE DRIVER'S LICENSES TO BE DESIGNED

I. TOBACCO USE AMONG YOUTH
Every state bans the sale of tobacco to minors. Yet, every year, over half a
billion packs of cigarettes and twenty six million containers of chewing tobacco are sold illegally
to children under the age of eighteen. As a result, an estimated 3,100,000 American teenagers -
- one out of every six -- are regular smokers.' And each and every day, 3,000 more children
begin smoking -- a process that results in over a million new underage, addicted smokers in the
United States each year.' One quarter of these new young smokers will eventually be among
the more than 400,000 Americans who die of tobacco-related illness each year -- illnesses that
burden our country with close to sixty-five billion dollars annually in health and economic
costs.`
These numbers are tragic. But the real tragedy is that this epidemic is to a great
extent preventable -- and the key opportunities for prevention are in childhood and adolescence.
Most Smokers Become Addicted To Tobacco As Children
Tobacco use usually begins in early adolescence -- on average by age fourteen and
in almost all cases before adulthood.' By the time they reach age eighteen, about two-thirds of
the young people in the United States try smoking, and many quickly become dependent. This
is not surprising, because tobacco-delivered nicotine is highly addictive. The Surgeon General

reports that nicotine dependency is the most common form of drug addiction and one of the
most u:fficult to overcome. According to the Surgeon General, twenty million Americans try
to quit smoking each year, but only three percent have any long-term success.'
While tobacco use is extremely dangerous for everyone, young users face special
risks. The earlier a person begins to use tobacco, the more difficult it is to quit. Early
adolescent users are more likely to remain smokers for the rest of their lives, more likely to
smoke heavily, and more likely to die prematurely than those who begin smoking at a later age.'
In addition, the earlier a smoker begins smoking, the greater his or her risk of developing the
numerous illnesses associated with smoking. Teens who smoke regularly experience a general
decrease in physical fitness, increased coughing and phlegm, greater susceptibility to and
severity of respiratory illnesses, earlier development of artery disease (a precursor to heart
disease) and slower lung growth, which, by adulthood, can reduce the level of lung function.'
Restricting Youth Access Is The Key To Breaking The Cycle Of Smoking
What is most significant about teens and smoking, however, is that, from all
indications, smoking is an addiction that is typically initiated during the teenage years or not at
all. For the great majority of smokers, this addiction begins before they are old enough to
purchase tobacco lawfully. In fact, seventy-five percent of all adult smokers report that they
became addicted to tobacco before they were eighteen years old.9 Very few smokers take up
smoking for the first time as adults. If youth access to tobacco can be controlled effectively,

and the decision whether to smoke can be delayed until adulthood, then, over time, smoking
will be greatly reduced as a major addiction in our society.
The Number Of Teen Smokers Is Not Decreasing
As a result of the public's increased awareness of the health hazards associated
with smoking, the percentage of adult smokers has been declining over the years.10 Although,
initially, adolescent smoking rates dropped in parallel with the decreased usage in the adult
population, beginning in the 1980's, this decline leveled off. Over the last decade, the
incidence of smoking among adolescents has remained essentially constant."
There are many possible reasons why these numbers have not declined. Some are
a matter of simple economics. The American tobacco industry loses, and therefore must
replace, approximately two million customers each year who either quit smoking or die. The
vast majority of new customers will come from the ranks of young people. This fact is not lost
on the tobacco industry. •
A. Tobacco Companies Target Young People
Every day our nation's youth are bombarded with commercial messages
encouraging the use of tobacco. In 1991 alone, the tobacco industry spent over $4.6 billion
dollars advertising and promoting tobacco products.12 Sophisticated multimillion dollar tobacco

ad campaigns address the special psychological needs and concerns of youth, promising, by
implication, that coolness, sophistication and peer acceptance will come with the purchase of
the right package of cigarettes.
These efforts have paid off. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control
shows that the three most heavily advertised cigarette brands — the ones represented by Joe
Camel, the Marlboro Man, and young Newport couples — have captured eighty-six percent of
the illegal teen market. These same brands, however, account for only thirty-five percent of
overall tobacco sales, having far less appeal in the adult market. "
The tobacco industry is also one of the biggest outdoor advertisers. In 1989, of
the approximately three million billboards in the United States, thirty percent advertised tobacco
and alcohol products." Inner city neighborhoods, in particular, are plastered with tobacco
billboards portraying beautiful young smokers engaged in glamorous activities and lifestyles.
Studies reveal that the intensity of cigarette billboard advertising in some states is two to three
times greater in African-American neighborhoods than in white neighborhoods. These
billboards which can be found next to homes, schools, churches, shopping centers, and stadiums
and along rural, as well as inner city, streets expose children over and over again to pro
tobacco messages, giving young people the impression that smoking is the social norm in this
country.
Increasingly, tobacco companies are marketing their products through promotional
activities likely to appeal to youth, such as the sponsorship of sporting and musical events. The
sponsorship of these events makes tobacco highly visible to youth and strengthens the
association between cigarettes and athletic ability, artistic expression, entertainment, glamour,

and individuality." Youth-oriented sports equipment, camping gear, boxer shorts, caps, and tee
shirts, all carrying tobacco logos, are widely available for free, or at minimal cost, to those
who smoke enough of a particular brand of cigarettes to collect the necessary coupons to redeem
these products. Decked out in these items, kids become walking tobacco advertisements,
carrying the industry's message into schoolrooms, playgrounds, parks and other places which
would otherwise be off-limits to tobacco advertising.
B. Youth Are Less Likely To Be Concerned About The Dangers
These intense marketing campaigns are particularly effective with young
adolescents, for whom peer acceptance holds great importance. Unfortunately, this same
audience is the most likely to deny or ignore the proven dangers of tobacco. Adolescents, as
a group, are notoriously unconcerned about risks in what they view as the distant future, and
are simply unequipped to understand or evaluate the long-term hazards of tobacco. Young
smokers are much more likely than adults to underestimate the harmful effects of tobacco use
and do not recognize that experimentation with tobacco can quickly lead to addiction. Indeed,
it is the inability of youngsters to make informed, mature decisions about potentially hazardous
activities that has prompted the states to outlaw the sale to minors of tobacco, alcohol and other
dangerous products.
The available evidence demonstrates that young smokers believe that they will be
able to avoid the harmful consequences of tobacco use. Although they understand that a
lifetime of smoking is dangerous, young people tend to believe that smoking for a few years
will not be harmful. Among twelve through eighteen-year-olds in the 1989 Teenage Attitudes
and Practices Survey, twenty one percent of teen smokers said they believed that it is safe to

sr.~',ke for only a year or two.16 Young people who smoke do not expect to smoke over a
lifetime and, in fact, expect to smoke only for a few years. They believe, in short, that they
car, escape the harmful consequences of an admittedly risky practice. What these youths do not
appreciate is the power of nicotine addiction.
Adolescents' failure to appreciate the long-term consequences of the decision to
smoke is dramatically demonstrated by the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future
Study. As high school seniors, the subjects were asked "Do you think you will be smoking
cigarettes five years from now?" Among respondents who were occasional smokers (less than
one cigarette per day), eighty-five percent predicted that they probably or definitely would not
be smoking in five years, as did thirty-two percent of those who smoked one pack per day.
However, in a follow-up study conducted five to six years later, of those who had smoked one
pack per day as seniors, only twelve percent had quit and seventy percent still smoked one
pack or more per day. Of those who smoked occasionally as seniors, only fifty-eight percent
had quit, while thirty-seven percent had actually increased their cigarette consumption."
C. Minors Have Easy Access To Tobacco
Youth who want to experiment with smoking have easy access to tobacco.
Tobacco is sold virtually everywhere -- in gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, drug
stores, and from vending machines. Despite the fact that every state has laws prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes to minors, study after study shows that minors who want to smoke can
purchase tobacco from almost any type of retail establishment where they attempt to buy it.

This easy access has sent a message to youth that the prevention of tobacco use
by young people is not important in our society. Although school-based education programs
have been developed to discourage children and teenagers from using tobacco, in their daily
lives in the "real world," adolescents observe an abundant supply of tobacco, merchants willing
to sell to them, enticing advertisements and promotions and little evidence that society in general
views underage tobacco use as a real problem or a priority.
Where Children Purchase Tobacco
Understanding how and where minors obtain tobacco is critical to any effort to
reduce youth access to tobacco. Despite existing laws, youngsters who smoke are able to
purchase cigarettes from every type of retailer. The Secretary of Health and Human Services
has estimated that three-fourths of the approximately one million tobacco outlets in the United
States sell tobacco to minors, garnering over one billion dollars in sales each year." The
University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future Study in 1993 found that seventy-five percent
of eighth graders and eighty-nine percent of tenth graders reported that cigarettes would be
fairly easy or very easy to get.19 And they are correct. Nearly all teen smokers have purchased
a pack of cigarettes at least once.
Studies show that most minors who smoke purchase their own cigarettes. In a
1990 survey of ninth grade students, conducted as part of the National Cancer Institute's
COMMIT trial, sixty-seven percent of current smokers (those who had smoked at least once in
the past month) reported that they usually bought their own cigarettes. Regular smokers

(defined smoking daily within the past month) were nearly twice as likely as occasional
smokers to report buying their own cigarettes.20 In a vending machine industry survey, seventy-
two percent of teenage smokers reported that they purchased their own cigarettes.21 In the
COMMIT survey, eighty-two percent of ninth grade students said that it would be easy for them
to obtain cigarettes.22
The accuracy of this perception has been confirmed in numerous trials designed
to measure the prevalence of retail sales of tobacco to minors. The Surgeon General recently
summarized thirteen studies of over-the-counter sales, noting that the weighted average of the
percentage of minors able to purchase tobacco was sixty-seven percent ranging from thirty-
two percent to eighty-seven percent. In studies that include vending machine sales, the weighted
average of successful purchases was eighty-eight percent ranging from eighty-two percent to one
hundred percent.23 The most prevalent sources of cigarettes for underage buyers are small
convenience stores and gas stations, followed by larger stores such as supermarkets.24 Among
the youngest of adolescents, vending machines are a popular source.23

IL INCREASED LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS
Government, at all levels, has now begun to address the problem of youth access
to tobacco seriously. Consequently, we can expect to see much stricter enforcement of laws
prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors in the near future. Historically, some states have been
much more active than others. In Florida, for example, a tobacco enforcement staff of the
Department of Business Regulations (funded by tobacco vendor licensing fees) conducts
compliance checks using underage test shoppers, observes buys and responds to consumer
complaints about retailers who sell tobacco to minors. In Vermont, the Department of Liquor
Control recently sent signs, posters and license applications to all tobacco retailers in the state.
A team of fourteen liquor control inspectors then conducted random, unannounced visits to
monitor compliance. Utah, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Jersey
and many other states fund local initiatives to reduce youth access as part of broader tobacco
control efforts.' On the local level, many towns and smaller municipalities and communities
conduct their own compliance checks, issue citations, collect funds, and where permitted,
suspend a vendor's license for violations.
The Massachusetts Attorney General recently conducted a state-wide investigation
to determine the level of compliance with that state's laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to
minors. In more than 200 compliance checks, underage minors (acting under adult supervision
and with their parents' permission) were successful at purchasing tobacco in two out of every
three attempts. Massachusetts followed up this effort with law enforcement activity and has
now entered into several settlement agreements to ensure compliance by its merchants.
Because of new directives from the federal government, tobacco retailers can
expect to see a significant increase in state enforcement of youth access laws in the next few
'6 Office of the Inspector General, Youth Access To Tobacco, Dept. of Health and Human
Services. Dec. 1992.
-12-
years. In 1992, Congress enacted Section 1926 of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental
Administration Reorganization Act (Public Law 102-321), commonly called the "Synar
Amendment," which requires states to enact and systematically enforce laws prohibiting the sale
of tobacco products to minors. States that fail to actively enforce these laws will gradually
lose federal block grant funding for substance abuse prevention and treatment programs. The
law provides that states that do not enforce their "no-sales-to-minors" tobacco laws will lose ten
percent of their federal grant funds the first year, twenty percent the second year, thirty percent
the third year and forty percent in subsequent years. Because these grants are substantial (for
example, New York's grant for 1994 was $103,643,000), and because they fund crucial
substance abuse programs, states are likely to make an all-out effort to retain them. Because
of these high stakes, tobacco retailers can expect to see a dramatic increase in enforcement of
no-sales-to-minors tobacco laws at the state level.
. III. THE ATTORNEYS GENERAL'S INITIATIVE
The participating Attorneys General, as the chief civil law enforcement officers
of their respective states, are very concerned about the illegal sale of tobacco products to
minors. An environment in which minors can easily buy tobacco, increases the likelihood that
youth will experiment with, and ultimately become addicted to, tobacco. Moreover, young
people's respect for the law and public policy is severely damaged in an environment where
retailers routinely violate the law and allow youth easy, illegal access to tobacco.
In May 1994, in an effort to address the widespread availability of tobacco
products to minors, the Attorneys General of twelve states formed a Working Group to study
this problem. Two things became immediately clear to the Working Group. First, the retail
community's current efforts to ensure compliance with the laws prohibiting sale of tobacco to
-13-
minors are inadequate. Second, it is crucial to have tobacco retailers' active voluntary
involvement in any overall strategy to reduce the use of tobacco by underage youth in America.
To get a better understanding of what measures retailers already have in place to
prevent these illegal sales, the Working Group, after obtaining written submissions from a
number of retailers, held a series of meetings with representatives from a cross-section of
tobacco retailers. Participating in these meetings were the principal trade associations
representing convenience stores, grocery stores, drugstores and mass retailers, as well as nine
of the nation's largest retail chains, including representatives from major convenience stores,
gas stations, discount retailers and a supermarket chain. The following is a summary of what
we learned.
How The Retail Industry Is Currently Addressing The Problem
A. Gas Station Stores
These small stores, which have become a fixture at most of the nation's filling
stations, do a land office tobacco business. For many gas stations, cigarettes are the largest
source of income after gasoline. In fact, cigarettes represent as much as forty to sixty percent
of non-gasoline sales at such stores. Despite this high volume of tobacco business, gas station
store operators told us that their industry has long given higher priority to preventing underage
alcohol sales than to the prevention of illegal tobacco sales. There are two principal reasons
for this. First, society has emphasized the problem of teen drinking, because of the tragedies
caused by drinking and driving. Second, stores have given greater attention to the sale of
alcohol because of the stores' potential liability if an underage person purchases alcohol and is
subsequently involved in a car accident.
Gas station stores rely primarily on their employee training programs to achieve
compliance with state laws regarding the sale of age-restricted products. However, the training
-14-
programs that the Working Group was able to review were minimal in nature. Under these
programs only station managers receive extensive training, while new clerks are generally
trained on the job. New employees are taught the legal age for the purchase of tobacco and
instructed not to sell to people below the legal age, but are given little additional instruction.
Typically, new employees are required to sign a form acknowledging that they have received
this instruction. These forms underscore the importance of the no-sales-to-minors laws, but
to some extent also serve to allow the retailer to attempt to shift responsibility for violations to
the individual employees and away from the employer corporation.
Many gas station stores post signs warning that it is illegal to sell tobacco to
minors, and some post signs that age identification will be required. In some stores, a chart or
legal "time clock" is posted near the cash register to help cashiers determine whether a
customer's identification is acceptable. In most cases, however, these charts and time clocks
only address the legal drinking age for alcohol and do not show the date of birth required for
the lawful purchase of tobacco products.
Because many gas station stores have only one employee on duty at a time, and
because robberies are a serious problem, a majority have surveillance cameras focused on the
cash registers. Cigarettes are almost always kept behind the cash register counter, some of
which are protected by bulletproof glass. These measures are intended for security purposes.
However, they also are likely to have some deterrent effect on minors seeking to make
purchases.
Although most of the gas station store operators with whom we met have not
made the prevention of illegal tobacco sales to minors a high priority, at least two companies
have taken extraordinary measures on their own initiative. Because of the public controversy
surrounding R.J. Reynold's "Joe Camel" advertising campaign -- which many believe has the
effect, if not the purpose, of marketing cigarettes to children -- two oil companies have directed
-15-
their store managers to remove all Joe Camel advertising from their stores. In addition, one
of these companies has elected not to sell cigarettes that come packaged with special
promotional items like hats, T-shirts, mugs or lighters bearing cigarette company logos.
Because the law prohibits the sale of tobacco to minors, these companies decided that it was
inappropriate for a retailer to display advertising or to sell promotional items that are
particularly attractive to youth and may encourage them to break the law.
The smaller of these two companies, faced with what it saw as a worst case
scenario --- a workforce composed mostly of young people between the ages of seventeen and
twenty, and a very young customer base --- has also implemented a comprehensive self-
monitoring system to make sure its employees comply with laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco
to minors. This company has directed all area managers to send young "decoy shoppers" into
each of their stores, once a month, as a test to see whether employees request age identification
before selling tobacco. If an employee complies with the law, he or she is given a reward
such as movie tickets, and a letter of commendation. If an employee makes an illegal sale, the
area manager sits down with the employee immediately to discuss the problem and issues a
written warning. According to the company, these monthly checks, coupled with the immediate
follow-up of a reward or disciplinary action, have been extremely effective in reducing illegal
tobacco sales to minors. In addition, the company's auditing departments, which oversee large
numbers of store operations by region, have two full-time employees who constantly monitor
for compliance by conducting random test shoppings. When the company was asked about the
expense of this program, the Working Group was told that the cost is not an issue. In the
company's view, compliance with the law is simply a necessary cost of doing business. As a
result of this two-tiered monitoring system, this company is widely regarded as having an
exemplary record for compliance.'

B. Convenience Stores
Like gas station stores, convenience stores depend heavily on tobacco sales for
revenue. Tobacco products typically account for twenty to thirty percent of the sales at these
stores. Convenience stores also rely on training to ensure that their employees comply with
state laws regarding the sale of age-restricted products -- such as lottery tickets, alcohol, tobacco
and adult magazines -- which make up much of a convenience store's stock in trade.
Some large convenience store chains have developed extensive training programs
that include classroom sessions, videotapes and self-testing systems. They use these programs
to train new employees in their corporate-owned stores, and make the training materials
available to franchisees for their employee training. Independently-owned convenience stores
can obtain a similar training program from their trade association, the National Association of
Convenience Stores.
The most sophisticated and comprehensive training programs the Working Group
reviewed include videos that teach employees, how to determine a customer's age, when and
how to check for identification, what types of identification to accept, how to recognize false
identification, how to handle a customer who tries to make an illegal underage purchase, how
to handle second-party sales (in which a person of legal age is clearly making the purchase for
a minor), how to handle an abusive customer, and the consequences of making an illegal sale.
To complete these training programs, new employees must pass a written test and acknowledge
in writing that the law prohibits underage tobacco sales and that they will not sell tobacco to
minors. Several stores indicated that an employee who violated this agreement would receive
a warning for a first offense and would be terminated for a second.
Historically, these employee training programs emphasized the prevention of
illegal alcohol sales to minors. Some chains acknowledged, quite candidly, that they had not
-17-
focused on tobacco. They said that they had not felt it necessary to emphasize tobacco sales
laws in their training materials because there had been so little enforcement of these laws, and
because society had not taken as dim a view of teen smoking as it had of underage drinking.
The companies we met with assured us this is no longer their view. In fact, many had already
begun revising their training materials to give illegal tobacco sales the same emphasis and
importance as illegal alcohol sales.
Complying with the law is made more difficult for convenience stores, as it is for
gas stations and supermarkets, by their extraordinary rate of employee turnover. In one typical
chain, for example, the average cashier spends only eighty-eight days in the position. Because
of this very high turnover rate, convenience stores cannot afford to' send new employees to
lengthy training sessions at outside facilities. Instead, they rely on in-house training programs,
often on videotapes. One company is now developing a pilot, interactive, multi-media program
on CD-ROM so that soon, any of its stores with a computer will be able to give each of its new
employees quality training. • •
Convenience stores also employ other measures that may help to reduce the
likelihood of underage tobacco sales. Many post signs advising the public that it is illegal to
sell tobacco products to minors, and that they require proof of age for these purchases. Because
of theft problems, most convenience stores keep tobacco products behind the sales counter or
in a locked storage area. The fact that minors have to ask for tobacco to make a purchase is
also believed to have some deterrent effect on illegal sales.
C. Supermarket Chains
Tobacco sales are only a small part of the business of supermarkets, accounting
for less than five percent of their total sales, yet some members of this industry use the most
technologically advanced equipment to help ensure that tobacco products are not sold illegally
to minors. Almost all supermarkets now use highly sophisticated price scanners at the checkout
-18-
counter. At least two major national chains have programmed these price scanners so that when
a tobacco product is scanned, the register stops scanning, and displays a message prompting the
checker to request age identification.
If the customer appears to be unquestionably over the legal age limit i.e., at least
twenty-six or thirty years old), these grocery chains allow their checkers to use an override code
to continue scanning the customer's purchases without requesting identification. However, if
there is any question as to whether the customer is of legal age, the checker must ask for a
photo identification. Some scanner systems simply require the checker to inspect the
identification and then enter a code before continuing to scan the customers other purchases.
Other systems specifically require the checker to key the customer's birthdate into the register
for automatic approval. If the identification indicates that the customer is under the legal age
(or if the identification appears to have been tampered with), the sale is rejected and the checker
removes the tobacco product from the counter. This is relatively new technology, but the
supermarket chains that are using it indicated that it is working without major problems and that
it is not expensive to program existing scanners to perform this function.
New supermarket employees also go through training which includes instruction
on the sale of tobacco and other age-restricted products. According to the industry
representatives with whom we met, an estimated sixty-five to seventy-five percent of workers
at their supermarket check-out counters are themselves under the age of eighteen, and the
turnover rate is very high. Retailers said that this makes training difficult. Because of the large
number of items in the average shopping cart, and the pressure on checkers to serve customers
quickly, several supermarket chains have determined that a point-of-sale reminder to check for
identification, in the scanner itself, is the best means to ensure compliance with laws setting age
restrictions on the purchase of tobacco.

D. Drugstores
Although the Working Group did not meet with drugstore owners, we did meet
with the National Association of Chain Drug Stores ("NACDS"), a trade association
representing 155 chain companies that operate approximately 30,000 retail pharmacies
nationwide. Based on the overview they provided, we learned that tobacco sales account for
only a small percentage of the drugstore business and that sales have decreased from seven
percent of total sales in the mid-1980's to only three and one-half percent of total sales today.
According to NACDS, the typical shopper in a chain drugstore is a thirty-five to
sixty year old woman who comes in about twice a month to fill a prescription or to purchase
over-the-counter drugs or cosmetics. Tobacco is generally an incidental purchase, which
drugstores sell as a convenience to customers, but not to attract them. Accordingly, drugstores
do not, as a general rule, advertise cigarettes, use aggressive price promotions or use in-store
promotional displays provided by tobacco companies.
Most large chain drugstores train new employees by using videotapes with
instructions on the legal age to purchase tobacco, handling customers who get upset when age
identification is requested, and acceptable forms of identification. Many chain drugstores also
display signs warning customers that the legal age to purchase cigarettes is eighteen and that age
identification will be required. Tobacco products are generally kept in the front of the store,
either near the cash register or behind the counter. Tobacco is almost never sold in the
pharmacy section of the store. Although sixty percent of chain drug stores use cash register
scanners, NACDS was not aware of any chains whose scanners are programmed to lock when
a tobacco product is scanned.
Tobacco control activists have criticized drugstores for selling tobacco because
their primary purpose is to provide health care products. They argue that it is hypocritical for
a store to sell cigarettes and smokeless tobacco alongside nicotine patches and other medical
-20-
devices intended to help people overcome nicotine addiction. Despite this criticism, and
although in isolated instances some individual drug stores have opted to go tobacco free, the
Working Group is unaware of any widespread move by drugstores in this country to stop selling
tobacco.
E. Discount Stores
The Working Group also met with representatives of three of the nation's largest
discount retail chains and their trade association, the International Mass Retail Association.
These discount retailers told us that tobacco accounts for very little of their business, comprising
less than one percent of their total sales. They indicated that they sell cigarettes primarily as
a convenience to their customers, who they told us generally do not come to their stores for the
purpose of buying cigarettes, but who might shop elsewhere if cigarettes were not available.
Discount chains told us that they do not believe that illegal tobacco sales to minors
are a major problem in their sector of retailing, because only a small percentage of their
customers are under the age of eighteen, and because almost all of their cigarette sales are by
the carton. They believe that minors generally cannot afford to buy cigarettes by the carton,
opting instead for single packs. Despite these assertions, compliance checks around the country
demonstrate that discount stores are just as likely to sell cigarettes to an underage decoy as are
other types of stores.
Although discount store employees at the companies we met with do receive some
training in the sale of age-restricted products, these programs put no special emphasis on
tobacco. The employees are not required to sign acknowledgments that they understand and
will comply with the laws against tobacco sales to minors. Nor do these discount stores post
signs advising that it is illegal to sell tobacco to minors or that they require age identification,
unless such signs are required by law. Although most of the major discount stores use
electronic scanners, the Working Group is aware of only one chain that is testing the use of
-21-
scanners programmed to instruct the cashier to request age identification whenever a tobacco
product is scanned.
F. Tobacco Industry Voluntary Compliance Programs
In late 1990, the Tobacco Institute introduced the "It's the Law" program, an
educational campaign to help curb youth access to cigarettes through the distribution of window
decals, in-store signs and educational materials to merchants. Some versions of these materials
state "It's the law. You must be over 18 to buy tobacco products."28 Some critics have
expressed concern that this wording seems to suggest that an underage purchaser will have
committed a crime (whereas, in most states, the law applies to sellers, and not the buyers), and
that this language may discourage parents from reporting unlawful sales. In a study conducted
in Massachusetts, to assess compliance with that state's laws, underage shoppers were sent into
seven businesses participating in the "It's the Law" program. Six of the merchants (eighty-
six percent) made illegal sales, approximately the same rate of violation as among non-
participating merchants.29
R.J. Reynolds (RJR)offers a similar program called "Support the Law, It Works."
This program includes in-store signs, stickers, brochures and other materials, as well as
television public service announcements. In 1994, RJR also became the sponsor of a program
offered by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. This program, called "JAYS," or "Jaycees
Against Youth Smoking," is a community service program to encourage retailers to support
tobacco sales-to-minors laws. It incorporates many of the materials developed by RJR for the
28 Other versions of these materials state, "It's the Law. We do not sell tobacco products
to persons under 18."

it halted illegal sales of tobacco to children?," American Journal of Public Health 1992;
82(9):1271-1272.
-22-
"Suppo --he Law" program. The Working Group has not identified any studies of the
effectiveness of these programs. We are concerned about their effectiveness because these
programs are missing what many believe is the most essential component of any effort to
prevent illegal tobacco sales to minors -- compliance checks.
In general, the Working Group supports programs for voluntary compliance, but
believes they must be designed and implemented carefully. Nothing in such a program should
be designed or calculated to minimize the seller's responsibility for compliance with the law,
or to shift attention or emphasis away from that responsibility and onto the underage customer.
Most importantly, the posting of a few signs should never become a substitute for effective
oversight of a retailer's workforce. The most meaningful test of the effectiveness of any
voluntary compliance program, the Working Group believes, is whether it significantly reduces
the rate of illegal sales by that business. Participation in a voluntary compliance program does
not, by itself, satisfy a business's responsibilities under the law, unless it in fact prevents
unlawful sales, and businesses should be careful not to assume that, simply because they
participate in one of these programs, they have met their legal obligations.
G. Distribution Subsidies
Although the tobacco industry purports to be concerned about illegal tobacco sales
to minors, tobacco companies spend approximately one and a half billion dollars each year in
subsidies to retailers to ensure that a wide variety of tobacco products are openly displayed and
kept in easy reach of all consumers, including minors.30 Tobacco companies offer financial
rewards to retailers who are willing to stock several different brands of cigarettes, even those
with little market demand. In addition, retailers are offered financial incentives to place certain
tobacco products in highly visible self-service displays, either at the checkout counter or in free
3° Federal Trade Commission. Report to Congress for 1992 Pursuant to the Federal
Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, Washington, D.C., 1994.
-23-
standing displays." Self-service displays make it much easier for minors to purchase or pilfer
tobacco. The Working Group believes that, if the tobacco industry is sincere in its desire to
keep tobacco products out the hands of minors, it should offer financial incentives to retailers
who keep tobacco behind the counter or in other controlled locations, instead of those who make
tobacco readily available to youth by keeping it out in open displays.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RESPONSIBLE RETAILING
Despite the efforts by the retail industry outlined above, the overwhelming
evidence shows that, when presented with an underage customer attempting to purchase
cigarettes, most retailers are as likely to violate the law as they are to comply with it.' The
Attorneys General believe that this does not constitute adequate compliance with the law.
Society should not tolerate this level of disregard for any important law, and certainly not open
disregard for laws that so strongly affect the well-being of future generations. Retailers have
a duty to tackle this problem affirmatively, not simply because the law requires it, but because
they are in the best position to reduce minors' access to tobacco. To be effective, retailers must
do more to prevent illegal underage sales. If they cannot, or will not, control these sales
through their own initiative, society will inevitably impose stronger measures, through
legislation or litigation, to insure that they do.
Fortunately, based on our meetings with major retailers and trade associations, the
Working Group is convinced that many in the retailing community are willing to do more to

Perspective". Prepared for Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, Washington,

also Report on the Sale of Tobacco to Minors in Massachusetts, Scott Harshbarger, Attorney
General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, April, 1994, reporting that in sixty-four percent
of some 248 attempted purchases, Massachusetts retailers sold tobacco illegally to test shoppers
between the ages of thirteen and seventeen.
•
-24-
address this problem. Many are beginning to re-examine the issue, and some are implementing
creative approaches to better comply with the law. But much more needs to be done. The
Working Group believes that responsible retailers can significantly reduce illegal sales by
implementing the following policies.
1. USE SECRET SHOPPERS TO MONITOR EMPLOYEE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE LAW. AND REWARD EMPLOYEES WHO COMPLY
At least one company told us, and we agree, that the most effective thing a
retailer can do to prevent illegal tobacco sales to minors is to use a "secret shopper" program
to test its stores for compliance. Secret shoppers are employees who visit company stores,
posing as customers, to assess how the store is maintained and managed and to test for
employee honesty. Almost every company we met with already uses secret shoppers as a
routine part of its business, to monitor everything from product placement to restroom
cleanliness. While several companies had used their secret shoppers to monitor their stores'
compliance with laws prohibiting alcohol.sales to minors, only one had used these.programs to
test for illegal tobacco sales.
Retailers acknowledged that simply notifying employees that a company uses a
secret shopper system is itself a powerful deterrent to unlawful employee conduct. If workers
know their employers are using young undercover decoy shoppers to test whether they are
selling tobacco to underage buyers, it is far less likely that such sales will take place. In
addition, if attractive rewards are offered to employees who comply with the law and swift
disciplinary measures are taken whenever there is a violation, word will quickly spread that
the company takes the problem of illegal cigarette sales to minors seriously. Although the
Working Group believes that state and local law enforcement efforts must also be increased, the
private sector is in the best position to actively monitor and control its own compliance with the
law.
•
-25-
Moreover, the Working Group believes these programs will have an additional
beneficial effect, in that they will educate senior managers about the widespread nature of the
violations of law occurring today. The Working Group was struck by retailers' lack of
awareness of the problem, and by their frequent insistence that, whatever the situation in others'
facilities, violations in their own stores were uncommon. Despite the apparent sincerity of these
beliefs, overwhelming evidence has shown that violations are common, if not the norm, in most
stores. In-house secret shopper programs will help company executives face the facts about
their own company's conduct -- and that, the Working Group believes, may be the essential first
step toward effective change.
2. PROGRAM EXISTING ELECTRONIC PRICE SCANNERS WITH TOBACCO
"LOCKS" TO HELP CONTROL TOBACCO SALES
The concept of programming electronic price scanners to interrupt the purchase
of tobacco products,: by prompting sales clerks to .check the customer's identification, and
requiring the cashier to key in an override code to proceed with the customer's other purchases,
was the most innovative approach to preventing underage tobacco sales that the Working Group
encountered in its review. Some scanners now being used for this purpose offer an added
benefit, in that, when they prompt a cashier to check identification, the scanners also display
the last acceptable date of birth i.e., the date eighteen years prior to the date of the
transaction). This spares cashiers the burden of making frequent and ever-changing mental
calculations while under pressure to serve a line of impatient customers. Some of these
scanners have also been programmed to require the cashier to key in the customer's birthdate
or some other data to confirm that the cashier did, in fact, examine identification.
These innovations demonstrate that the private sector has the resources and
creativity to develop effective new techniques for reducing tobacco sales to minors. The
Working Group strongly recommends that retailers who use electronic scanners program these
-26-
machines to "lock" when a tobacco product is scanned and to prompt the cashier to check for
identification. This enhancement significantly improves a retailer's ability to prevent illegal
sales. Because many cashiers are teenagers themselves, they are often reluctant to ask their
peers for age identification. By requiring them to do so, the scanner not only serves as a
reminder, but actually removes some of the burden on a young employee who must request
identification from, or refuse a tobacco sale to, one of his or her peers.
3. EXPEDITE THE USE OF PRICE SCANNER SYSTEMS WITH TOBACCO
"LOCKS"
Many companies indicated that they were considering switching from their current
cash register systems to price scanning devices. Because scanners with tobacco "locks" offer
an excellent means of reducing illegal tobacco sales, the Working Group recommends that these
companies expedite their plans to switch to scanner systems and only consider scanners that can
be programmed to cue for age identification whenever tobacco products are scanned.
4. DEVELOP EFFECTIVE TRAINING ON AVOIDING ILLEGAL TOBACCO
SALES TO MINORS, AND GIVE THIS TRAINING EQUAL EMPHASIS WITH
THAT GIVEN TO TRAINING ON AVOIDING ILLEGAL ALCOHOL SALES
Underage tobacco sales have been neglected in most retail training programs
regarding age-restricted products. Although the majority of training programs include detailed
instruction on preventing illegal alcohol sales to minors, illegal tobacco sales are often
mentioned only as an aside, and sometimes not at all. Tobacco retailers should immediately
redesign or develop training programs that emphasize the importance of compliance with laws
prohibiting tobacco sales to minors. At a minimum, these training programs should include:
a clear definition of what constitutes a tobacco product (including smokeless
tobacco)
the legal age for purchase
instructions on when and how to ask for identification
-27-
age identification checks for any customer who appears to be less than
twenty six years old
instruction on the acceptable forms of identification
written materials that include samples of acceptable identification
instruction on how to detect false identification
instructions on when and how to refuse a sale
- instructions on how to refuse second-party sales (where an adult clearly purchases
for a minor)
the consequences of making an illegal sale
After completing training, all employees should be tested to ensure they understand what they
have been taught. They should also be required to sign an acknowledgment that they
understand that tobacco sales to minors are illegal, that they will comply with these laws and
that the company may fire them if they fail to comply.
5. HOLD STORE MANAGERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR STORES'
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW
Mystery shoppers, scanners with tobacco locks and training programs are all
geared toward improving compliance by cashiers and sales clerks. However, many existing
state laws hold only the individual involved in the sale, and not the store manager or
corporation, responsible for illegal tobacco sales to minors. The Working Group believes that,
in order to really improve compliance, retailers need to make their store and corporate managers
accountable for the company's compliance with state laws banning tobacco sales to minors.
Managers who know that they will be held responsible for violations, and who risk losing their
jobs if tobacco is illegally sold to minors in their stores, will do a much better job training and
supervising their employees with respect to this issue.
-28-
6. KEEP TOBACCO PRODUCTS BEHIND THE SALES COUNTER OR IN
LOCKED CASES
By keeping tobacco products off the open shelves, retailers can discourage
underage buyers. Many retailers told us that, to cut down on theft problems, they already keep
cartons of cigarettes behind the counter and single packages of cigarettes at the register. By
relocating tobacco products so that minors do not have easy access to them, retailers can reduce
the possibility of illegal sales as well as shoplifting. Very young buyers, in particular, are less
likely to shop for tobacco products in stores where they have to call attention to themselves by
asking a clerk for the product. Although some retailers told the Working Group that it would
be difficult or expensive to place tobacco in locked cases or behind the counters in their stores,
many of these same companies are voluntarily doing precisely that when it serves to prevent
shoplifting. We believe that compliance with no-sales-to-minors laws is every bit as important
as preventing theft, and that tobacco should only be sold from these controlled settings.
The Working Group understands that many retailers are reluctant to put tobacco
products behind the counter because they will then lose the substantial fees that tobacco
companies pay to have their products prominently displayed on the open shelves. Tobacco
companies could play a key role in keeping tobacco out of the hands of minors by offering those
same financial incentives to retailers who sell tobacco only from controlled locations.
7. DO NOT SELL SINGLE CIGARETTES EITHER IN OPEN DISPLAYS
OR FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER
Despite the federal prohibition on selling tobacco without the required warning
label, retailers sometimes remove cigarettes from their original packages and sell them
individually. These single cigarettes or "loosies" are often kept behind the counter rather than
displayed, and are significantly more likely to be sold to minors than to adults. At ten to
twenty cents each, single cigarettes can be very attractive to price-sensitive youngsters. Their
-29-
low cost and easy access may actually encourage children, who might otherwise not have the
opportunity, to experiment with tobacco.
The Working Group has been advised that some tobacco companies are now
considering packaging single cigarettes in individual wrappers, with the federally-mandated
warning, so that they can legally market this product themselves. Regardless of how they are
packaged, because of their particular allure for children, the Working Group believes that
retailers should not sell single cigarettes at all.
8. POST PROMINENT SIGNS TO REINFORCE THE LAW
During the course of this investigation, the Working Group has had an opportunity
to review a wide variety of signs, store displays, buttons and legal time clocks that retailers use
to notify the public about age restrictions on tobacco sales. In one focus group study,
conducted by a major national convenience store chain, young adult smokers said that, as
minors, they avoided shopping for tobacco in stores that posted signs warning that the store
checked for age identification. Signs saying ."NO .ID—NO SALE" were viewed as more
effective than those that simply announce that it is against the law to sell tobacco products to
persons under eighteen years of age. Some stores also post a "legal time clock," which changes
daily and displays the last acceptable date of birth for a legal sale. For example a legal time
clock might say:
IF YOU WERE BORN AFTER
JANUARY 1, 1978
IT IS ILLEGAL TO
SELL TOBACCO TO YOU
IN THIS STATE.
WE CHECK ID
-30-
These legal time clocks, which have been widely used to control illegal alcohol sales, notify
minors that is the retailer's policy to check identification. They also make it easier for clerks
• to determine whether an identification is acceptable. The Working Group believes that these
devices should also be used to prevent illegal tobacco sales.
Some jurisdictions already require retailers to display signs disclosing age
restrictions on tobacco sales. Some retailers also have their cashiers wear buttons reminding
customers, at the point of sale, that tobacco purchases require proper identification. Even
without a legal requirement, the Working Group believes that, given the small cost involved in
signage, and its potential deterrent effect, all tobacco retailers should prominently post signs
notifying the public that they do not sell tobacco products to any one under the legal age and
that they require and check age identification.
Focus group studies also show that minors are less likely to attempt to purchase
tobacco in stores where there is a surveillance camera behind the cash register. Since many
stores already utilize these cameras for security reasons, the Working Group recommends more
widespread use to deter illegal tobacco sales. Also, used in conjunction with in-house secret
shopper programs, surveillance cameras make it easier for companies to monitor the conduct
of their employees and to hold managers responsible for non-compliance.
9. REMOVE CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINES FROM RETAIL STORES
Vending machines provide the best source of cigarettes for very young smokers.
In a study commissioned by the vending machine industry, thirteen-year-olds were eleven times
more likely to purchase tobacco from vending machines than seventeen-year-olds.33 Because
very young children rely heavily on vending machines as a major source of tobacco products,
33 Response Research, Inc., "Study of Teenage Cigarette Smoking and Purchase Behavior"
for the National Automatic Merchandising Association. Chicago: June/July 1989.
-31-
and because their use of these machines is difficult to police, retail stores should remove
cigarette vending machines from their premises and sell tobacco products only from the
controlled settings recommended above. At a minimum, such vending machines should require
special tokens, that can only be purchased from a store manager, or be programed to operate
only if a cashier activates the machine from a remote control switch.
10. REQUIRE PROOF OF AGE, IN THE FORM OF A RELIABLE PHOTOGRAPHIC
IDENTIFICATION, FOR ANYONE WHO APPEARS TO BE TWENTY-FIVE OR
YOUNGER
The training films used by some of the retailers with whom we met graphically
demonstrate how difficult it is to accurately determine the age of a customer. For precisely that
reason, many retailers instruct their employees to check the identification of anyone who
appears to be younger than twenty-six, or even thirty years old, before selling them tobacco.
The Working Group believes that all retailers should follow this model and request identification
from every customer who does not appear to be of a "base age," which the Working Group
believes should be, at a minimum, twenty-six years old.
Some retailers are very restrictive about the type of identification that they will
accept as proof of age, while others will accept any document bearing a purported birthdate.
Because of the proliferation of forged identifications, retailers should restrict acceptable
identification to those that are the most reliable --- primarily government-issued photo
identifications such as drivers' licenses, state-issued identification cards, military identification
cards and passports. States could make the process of scrutinizing identification easier for
retailers by color coding them or otherwise marking drivers licenses to make it easy to
distinguish the license of individuals under eighteen or between the ages of eighteen and twenty-
one. Employees should also be instructed to check the date of birth closely to make sure that
it has not been altered; to check to see if the description on the identification matches the
customer; and to examine the photograph to see if it matches the customer or has been tampered
-32-
with. Guidebooks, which include photographs and descriptions of sample drivers' licenses from
each of the fifty states, should also be made available as a reference at the cash register.
11. REMOVE ADVERTISEMENTS, IN-STORE DISPLAYS AND PROMOTIONAL
ITEMS THAT ENCOURAGE MINORS TO BUY TOBACCO
At the same time that the states are wrestling with ways to improve their
enforcement of laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors, tobacco companies are engaging
in multi-million dollar advertising campaigns designed to make smoking particularly attractive
to adolescents. Retailers who are sincere in their desire to support laws restricting the sale of
tobacco products to minors should not undercut these laws by posting advertisements or offering
special promotions that target youth. At least two oil companies have already directed their
corporate-owned gas stations to remove these types of advertisements and promotions and the
Working Group recommends that others retailers follow their lead. While tobacco companies
deny that any of their promotions are designed to appeal to minors, the Working Group believes
that retailers, using their own good judgment and.common sense, can identify those promotions
which have a particular appeal for youth.
12. IN THE ALTERNATIVE, RETAILERS WHO PREFER NOT TO TAKE
PROACTIVE STEPS TO PREVENT ILLEGAL SALES SHOULD CONSIDER
SIMPLY ELIMINATING TOBACCO FROM THEIR STORES
Some of the retailers with whom we met indicated that, because tobacco
comprised only a small part of their business, they are not able to spend resources on improved
training or scanner technology designed to decrease illegal sales to minors and are not willing
to place the product behind the counter or display age restriction signs unless required to do so
by law. The Working Group believes that a retailer who is not able or willing to take the
-33-
serious steps necessary to improve compliance with the law should consider eliminating tobacco
products from its stores altogether.
The Working Group, in particular, recommends that pharmacies give strong
consideration to eliminating tobacco from their store inventory. Such a move would send a
strong message to youth that tobacco products are incompatible with good health. Dozens of
individual drugstore owners in New York, Utah, Washington and other states have opted to
go tobacco free on their own initiative. In Michigan a coalition of pharmacists, physicians, a
pharmaceutical company and the Department of Health have recently undertaken an effort to
discourage pharmacies from selling tobacco (under the banner of the "Tobacco-Free Pharmacy"
campaign) and as of October 1993, more than 60 pharmacies were participating in the
program!' In Minnesota, where the state pharmacists' association has recommended since 1987
that its members discontinue the sale of tobacco, an estimated 100 independent pharmacies
have taken tobacco off their shelves. And, in Connecticut, a chain of 40 drugstores operated
by the Arrow Corporation have also voluntarily gone tobacco free. •
V. LEGISLATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
State and local governments share some of the responsibility for the ease with
which young people can illegally buy tobacco today. Although every state has laws banning the
sale of tobacco to minors, many of those laws are weak, and enforcement overall is lax. As
mentioned above, legislation adopted by Congress in 1992 requires states to enact and
systematically enforce meaningful sales-to-minors laws, or face the loss of substantial federal
grant funds. As implementing regulations for this legislation are adopted, states will be re-
examining their existing laws and developing improved enforcement strategies.
34 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, "Healthy People 2000: National
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives Update", Dept. of Health and Human
Services. October/November 1993.
-34-
As this process proceeds, the Working Group believes several principles should
guide the design of legislation.
1. LEGISLATURES SHOULD BE WARY OF SOLUTIONS ADVANCED
BY THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY
Faced with the prospect that state laws may be strengthened, the tobacco
industry's principal trade association, the Tobacco Institute, has initiated a campaign to avert
effective reform by enacting its own weaker proposals, designed to give the false appearance
of reform without effecting meaningful change. Tobacco companies endorse legislation that
makes it illegal to "knowingly" or "intentionally" sell tobacco to minors. Such laws would be
violated only if the seller knew, or reasonably should have known, that the purchaser was under
eighteen years of age. In practice, these intent requirements operate to relieve stores of liability
and to make meaningful enforcement of no-sales-to-minors laws difficult, if not impossible.
In some states, these proposals may be put forward by grocers, convenience store
operators or other retailers, without public disclosure of their true origin. In 1994, the Tobacco
Institute identified twenty "priority target states" for their legislative campaign, according to one
retail trade association." Legislators in all states, and especially in these "target" states, should
be alert to such efforts to enact "Trojan horse" legislation that will subvert true reform.
Similarly, the tobacco industry has in the past actively supported legislation to
prohibit minors from purchasing or possessing tobacco, as opposed to laws that only prohibit
merchants from selling them tobacco. These efforts have been criticized as an effort to deflect
responsibility for illegal sales from the tobacco industry and merchants onto children.'b A few

36 Carol, J., "It's a good idea to criminalize purchase and possession of tobacco by minors-
NOT!", Tobacco Control 1992; 1(4): 296-7.
-35-
states have adopted such laws. The Working Group takes no position on the merits of such an
approach, but agrees strongly with the Surgeon General that "[flaws prohibiting minors'
possession of tobacco should be addressed only after effective regulation and enforcement at the
retail level are in place."
2. STATE LEGISLATION SHOULD NOT PRE-EMPT LOCAL ORDINANCES
In many states, initiatives for effective control of illegal tobacco sales have come
primarily from the local level, in the form of local ordinances and enforcement campaigns. In
some areas, these efforts have been so effective that tobacco interests have worked for passage
of state laws for the sole purpose of pre-empting, or overriding, these local initiatives. The
Working Group believes it imperative that state laws not pre-empt local ordinances. State
legislation should set a "floor" or minimum requirements, while allowing the continued
operation of ordinances that create a higher level of public protection.
3. STATE LAWS SHOULD CREATE OR REQUIRE A LICENSING SYSTEM FOR
TOBACCO SALES
The central flaw in many states' current laws is that they do not clearly impose
any sanction on the stores that sell tobacco to minors. Instead, under many of these laws,
penalties for violation are imposed only on the individual sales clerk who makes an illegal sale.
In an environment where sales clerks typically spend only a few months on the job anyway, the
result of enforcement of these laws is simply the dismissal of the individual clerk, rather than
any meaningful change in a store's overall practices. Because of this reality, local authorities
are discouraged from devoting themselves to aggressive enforcement. It is not surprising,
therefore, that the legislative efforts of tobacco interests are devoted in large part to ensuring
" 1994 Surgeon General's Report at 254.
-36-
that any new legislation continues to impose sanctions only on individual employees, and not
on the store.
Most states already require the licensing of parties that sell tobacco products.38
These laws vary widely, however. Most do not provide for revocation of that license as a
sanction for unlawful sales to minors, and most do not designate a specific enforcer.39 The
Working Group agrees with the 1990 recommendation of the former Secretary of Health and
Human Services, Dr. Louis Sullivan, that states should use a licensing system similar to those
used for alcoholic beverage sales to ensure compliance with tobacco no-sales-to-minors laws.40
To be effective and meaningful, laws must hold the store accountable for these
sales, just as stores are held accountable for illegal sales of alcohol, or for failure to comply
with labor laws, environmental laws, zoning laws, health and safety codes, and other laws. In
fact, laws that leave stores free of consequences for their illegal tobacco sales are an anomaly.
In virtually every other area, society holds businesses accountable for their employees'
compliance with law. The Working Group recommends legislation that requires the store to
obtain a license to sell tobacco, and uses the licensing system to hold the store accountable for
its sales practices.
In some states it may be appropriate for this licensing system to be run by the
state. However, where local ordinances are already in place, and where commitment to
enforcement is greatest at the local level, it may be more appropriate for the state law to require

local licensing systems instead and to specify the minimum essential elements of such a system,
while allowing cities or counties to enact stronger protection.
In either event, it is essential that primary responsibility for enforcement be placed
in a designated agency, and that this agency have professional training, experience with tough
enforcement and a demonstrated record of competence.
4. THE LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
SELF-SUPPORTING
Licensing fees should be set at a level sufficient to support an effective compliance
program. To date, law enforcement efforts have been most effective in states and localities
where there is dedicated funding for enforcement efforts. Licensing will not work unless it is
financially self-supporting, at a level sufficient to allow proactive enforcement. In many
communities today, annual licensing fees ranging from $150 to $300 have proven sufficient
for some degree of affirmative enforcement.
5. THE LICENSING SYSTEM SHOULD USE GRADUATED FINES, WITH
LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR REPEAT OFFENSES
The Working Group believes that, to be workable, a licensing law must impose
sanctions that are reasonable and realistic. In part, this means that sanctions must be
sufficiently large to get the licensee's attention. In other words, a fine or administrative penalty
should be large enough that it will prompt a change in the violator's practices, and not simply
be paid as a routine "cost of doing business."
At some point, however, the Working Group believes that more onerous sanctions
would be counter-productive. Experience has shown that where the prescribed penalty is too
harsh -- e.g., incarceration or permanent license revocation for a first offense — enforcement
authorities are reluctant to enforce the law, and licensing authorities and juries are unwilling to
impose the sanctions.
-38-
•
For this reason, the Working Group believes that a licensing law should prescribe
a graduated set of sanctions, with administrative penalties or fines set in increasing amounts for
the first, and perhaps second or third, violations, to be followed by license suspensions for
increasing periods of time. We believe that this approach strikes an appropriate balance that
will discourage violations, without being so harsh as to discourage decision makers from
imposing the sanctions.
6. THE LAW SHOULD INCLUDE POSITIVE
INCENTIVES FOR RESPONSIBLE RETAILING
We believe that a licensing law should offer retailers tangible incentives for
adopting responsible retailing practices such as those set out earlier in this report. More
specifically, the law should reward retailers -who endorse and put into practice the twelve
retailing principles proposed above.
This incentive could take any of several forms. For example, a retailer who
implemented these practices might be subject to a"reduced schedule of sanctions, on the theory
that where a retailer makes a concerted effort to ensure its employees' compliance, this
mitigates its culpability. Or, perhaps more appropriately, such a retailer could be charged a
reduced licensing fee, under the theory that a business that genuinely implements these practices
will have fewer violations and will therefore impose fewer costs on the compliance system.
There may be other, equally effective, ways to build such an incentive into a
licensing system. Whatever form incentives might take, the law should reward those businesses
that truly take responsibility for their conduct, and should enlist their active involvement in the
effort for improved compliance.
-39-
7. THE LAW SHOULD REQUIRE PERIODIC COMPLIANCE CHECKS
The only sure way to know whether the law is being complied with is to check.
Any licensing law must require the licensing authority to conduct, or to arrange for, periodic
compliance checks at every licensed store. These checks should be conducted, at a minimum,
two or three times annually. They should be conducted by teenage testers, acting under adult
supervision.
8. THE LAW SHOULD NOT LIMIT WHO CAN CONDUCT COMPLIANCE TESTS
The most effective voices for strengthening America's ineffective tobacco no-
sales-to-minors laws have come from non-profit public health and public advocacy groups. In
scores of communities across the country, these groups have organized carefully controlled
compliance checks of local stores, either to focus public attention on the level of non-
compliance, or to encourage more effective enforcement. Embarrassed by the effectiveness of
these efforts, tobacco interests have sought to include in any legislative reforms restrictions on
the opportunities for these groups to check stores' compliance. Thus, tobacco interests may
propose that a legislature prohibit any testing effort except those conducted by, or under the
direct supervision of, law enforcement offices.
The Working Group opposes any such restrictions. First, in many jurisdictions,
compliance tests can and should be organized by officials who are not law enforcement officers
-- licensing inspectors, for example, or public health officials. In other instances, licensing
authorities may find it preferable to contract with private groups to conduct tests, under
carefully controlled conditions. These are decisions best left to the licensing authority. Finally,
there may be cases where private groups may conduct testing on their own initiative and offer
their evidence to licensing authorities, as private complainants. If such private complaints are
based on reliable evidence, there is no reason to arbitrarily exclude them from consideration.
In any of these circumstances, the rights of the licensee will be better protected by ensuring due
-40-
process in the hearing that precedes any license suspension, rather than by arbitrarily prohibiting
certain people from performing the testing.
9. STATE LAWS SHOULD LIMIT YOUTH ACCESS TO TOBACCO
BY RESTRICTING VENDING MACHINE SALES AND
PROHIBITING FREE SAMPLING
Minors rely heavily on vending machines as a major source of tobacco. These
machines, which are located in restaurants, bowling alleys, movie theaters and many other
places likely to be frequented by children, provide easy access to tobacco for minors. For
young children, vending machines also provide a much less intimidating method of purchase
than over-the-counter sales. And, for good reason. Studies show that children as young as
thirteen are almost always successful when they attempt to purchase tobacco from vending
machines.
The Working Group believes that state wide restrictions on tobacco vending
machines are essential to reducing youth access to tobacco. Such measures are also widely
supported by the public. One American.Cancer Society study shows that a ban on cigarette
vending machines is the most popular type of smoking restriction among American voters.
Twenty-one states have already adopted laws restricting or eliminating tobacco vending
machines and the Working Group recommends that the remaining states seriously consider
taking similar action.
The Working Group also recommends that state laws prohibit the distribution of
free tobacco products in public places or through the mail. Free sampling has become a very
popular method of cigarette and smokeless tobacco promotion. Such sampling encourages
experimentation by providing minors with a risk-free and cost-free opportunity to experiment
with tobacco. Although many states prohibit distributing free samples to minors, such laws are
almost impossible to monitor or enforce. The best way to ensure that free samples of tobacco
products do not fmd their way into the hands of minors is to prohibit free sampling altogether.
-41-
10. STATE LAWS SHOULD REQUIRE DRIVER'S LICENSES TO BE
DESIGNED TO MAKE AGE IDENTIFICATION EASY
Retailers repeatedly told us that compliance with no-sale-to-minors tobacco laws
is complicated by the difficulty they have training employees to quickly recognize acceptable
identification for tobacco and alcohol purchases. States could make this process easier by
issuing driver's licenses which display a distinctive background color, colored stripe or other
distinguishing feature for people who are between the ages of sixteen and eighteen and for
people who are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. Some states (California and
Kansas, for example) have already implemented such measures. If cashiers simply have to
check a license for a distinctive color stripe, the age identification process will be quicker and
compliance will improve.
CONCLUSION
The Working Group believes that, by taking the proactive steps set out in this
report, retailers and state legislatures can significantly limit minors' access to tobacco products
and thereby substantially reduce tobacco use by young people in America.

temporary 3.2 beer license for August 4th and 5th in conjunction with the Derby Days
celebration.
The application and certificates of insurance are in order. (In addition to the
normal liquor liability, the City requires that the applicant carry public liability insurance
when the license is for sales on public property.)
The concerns of the Chief of Police are addressed in the attached letter from Mr.
Stock.
ALTERNATIVES:
1] Grant a license
2] Deny a license
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to approve the application and grant a temporary non-intoxicating malt
liquor license to the Shakopee Jaycees Inc., within the First Avenue right-of-way between
Holmes Street and Lewis Street, for August 4th and 5th, 1995.

RE: Derby Days -Beer Sales
DATE: July 13, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
On Tuesday,July 11, 1995 the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce approached the
City Council with a request to approve the temporary beer license application as
submitted by the Shakopee Jaycees. At that time, several concerns were expressed
regarding the size of the street dance area in relation to beer sales. The Police Chief
and I have met and developed a plan that will mitigate the concerns as expressed on
July 11th. A small beer garden area will be erected with a double fence design. The
beer garden area will confine beer sales to a specified area to which only persons
age 21 or older will be admitted.
The Jaycees and Chamber of Commerce have also reviewed the proposed set-up
and are in support of it.

RE: Shakopee Civic Center Project-Bid Package#11 - Mechanical
Systems Work
DATE: July 13, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
On June 21, 1995 bids were received for the mechanical systems associated with the
Shakopee Civic Center Project. It would be appropriate at this time to select a
mechanical contractor accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a correspondence from Mike Parson,Project Manager outlining the
bids submitted for the mechanical systems. The original Construction Manager's
estimate for the mechanical work associated with the Civic Center Project was
$608,100. However, after reviewing the project's scope and the long term value for
the City, it was determined by the design review team that it would be more
appropriate to proceed with a system that would achieve greater long term cost
savings. The cost to install the upgraded systems was correspondingly reflected in
the bids received. The original mechanical system quoted by Greystone
Construction also did not include costs associated with air conditioning.
Northland Mechanical Contractors submitted the lowest base bid amount for this
bid package. In reviewing the bids, the Construction Manager had the opportunity
to meet with Northland Mechanical to evaluate whether or not additional cost
savings could be achieved through value engineering. This process resulted in a
$58,247.00 voluntary deduct submitted by Northland Mechanical Contractors. If
the alternate#M-1 for air conditioning in the amount of$117,000 is accepted,the
recommended total contract amount for mechanical systems work is estimated at
$762,753.
Greystone Construction is recommending that the appropriate City officials be
authorized to execute a mechanical systems contract with Northland Mechanical in
the amount of$762,753.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute a contract by and between
the City of Shakopee and Northland Mechanical in the amount of$762,7.53
for the mechanical systems work at the Shakopee Civic Center Project.
2. Select another mechanical contractor to perform the mechanical systems
work.
3. Do not accept the air conditioning alternate in the amount of$117,000 and
authorize the appropriate City officials to execute into an agreement with
Northland Mechanical in the amount of$645,753.
4. Table action pending further information from staff.

Re: Shakopee Civic Center -- Bid Package#11 Mechanical Systems Work
Dear Barry:
We recommend the award of contract for Bid Package #11 Mechanical Systems and related work, to
Northland Mechanical Contractors,Inc.
Bids for this work were received on June 21, 1995. Northland Mechanical Contractors, Inc submitted the
lowest responsive bid. The projected budget for the mechanical work was $608.100. The bid tabulation
sheet is attached.
If approved by the City, the contract will be drafted with a contract amount of $762,753. This amount
equals the base bid of $704,000, plus alternate#M-1 amount of $117,000 for air conditioning and plus
the voluntary deduct amount of ($58,247) for value engineering items. The value engineering items are
described in Northland Mechanical correspondence dated July 6.
We believe the difference between the budgeted and award amounts is explained as follows: The original
HVAC budget was based on forced air roof top units. The design and engineering process led us to the
conclusion that a boiler and chiller system was a better long term value for the City. The system has
advantages despite a significant increase in the initial cost when compared to roof top air handling units.
The factors which were weighed in the decision to use the boiler and chiller system are listed below:
1. Service life of boiler and chillers equipment is significantly longer. In some cases two to three times
longer. Therefore, equipment replacement costs will be significantly lower.
2. Maintenance costs will be significantly less for several reasons. a) The City currently has licensed
boiler mechanics on staff, operating a similar system in City Hall. The same staff should be able to
maintain the system in the Civic Center. b) The longevity of equipment will provide reduced
maintenance costs. and c) The boiler and chiller system will allow for better climate control
throughout the facility.
We feel the quality of the system and the long term operating and maintenance cost reductions justify the •
increased initial cost of the mechanical system work. Please call me with any questions.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Vierling Drive, C.R. 79 to C.R. 77
Project No. 1996-5
DATE: July 18, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is a proposal for Engineering services for the box culvert headwall design on
Vierli.ng Drive, County Road (C.R.) 79 to C.R. 77, Project No. 1995-6 from the City's
consultant, Orr-Schelen-Mayeron.&Assoc., Inc. (OSM).
BACKGROUND:
A.t the May 16, 1995 Council meeting, Resolution No. 4193 was adopted for the
preparation of plans and specifications of Vierli.ng Drive from C.R. 79 to C.R. 77.
Included in the street improvement is a box culvert drainage structure for the street
crossing the Upper Valley Drainageway (U.V.D.). The box culvert is considered a
structure in which a Registered Professional Structural Engineer needs to design the box
culvert for State Aid approval. The City needs to contract this design work to a
consultant as this is beyond staffs capabilities. The cost do this work from OSM is at a
cost not-to-exceed $4,000.00.
At the May 16, 1995 Council meeting, a directive was given to staff on a cost analysis of
concrete versus metal box culverts. Staff contacted OSM for information such as costs,
design life and availability of alternative box culverts other than concrete.
In reviewing box culvert alternatives,the following information was found:
1. The vast majority of box culverts installed in the Metro area are concrete box
culverts.
2. OSM compared an aluminum box culvert barrel length cost to concrete box
culvert barrel length cost as follows:
Aluminum $338.001L.F.
Concrete $400.00/L.F.
For either culvert alternative, concrete headwalls would be recommended for use,
thus the cost differential is only on the barrel length.
The length of the box culvert proposed is 80 lineal feet with co:n.crete headwalls.
The cost savings between the box culvert barrel length cost for the two materials
is $4,960.00 total with aluminum being less expensive. The cost for a steel box
culvert is about the same as an aluminum box culvert.
3. Concrete culverts are considered to have the longer life span, however, this would
be disputed by the manufacturers.
4. Concrete box culverts are approved by State Aid office. Aluminum box culverts
as of today are not approved by Mn/DOT Bridge Division, thus are not State Aid
approved. A technical memo is in the process for acceptance of aluminum box
culverts however, there will be design limitations. The Mn/DOT Bridge Division
also highly recommended the use of concrete box culverts for the size application
being considered for Vierling Drive.
Staff would recommend that the concrete box culvert remain as the standard for box
culverts since the difference of cost is minimal, the design life of concrete is considered
greater, and concrete is State Aid approved and recommended by MnIDO1:T.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Move to authorize staff to utilize OSM on the box culvert and headwall. design for
Vierling Drive, Project No. 1995-6.
2. Do not authorize the Engineering services proposal.
3. Table this item for more information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to authorize staff to utilize Orr-Schelen-M.ayeron. & Assoc., Inc. on the box culvert

SUBJECT: Fuller Street Plan Approval
DATE: July 18, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 4254, a resolution approving plans and specifications and
authorizing advertisement for bids for Fuller Street from 10th Avenue to Vierling Drive,
Project No. 1995-8.
BACKGROUND:
On May 16, 1995, a public hearing was held to consider the improvement of Fuller Street
from 10th Avenue to Vierling Drive. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City
Council ordered the project and the preparation of plans and specifications for the project.
The plans and specifications have been completed and are available in the Engineering
Department for Council review.
Some of the issues raised at the public hearing were the design of Fuller Street as a
collector street,the placement of sidewalks adjacent to the existing residences on the west
side of Fuller Street, traffic control on Fuller Street, and sanitary sewer availability for
two parcels on the west side of Fuller Street. These issues have been addressed in the
design of the project.
The Fuller Street designation as a collector street was originally addressed by the City
Council in 1991. The current design specifies that Fuller Street will be constructed as a
44 foot wide State Aid collector street with two traffic lanes and two parking lanes. This
design matches the existing Fuller Street south of 10th Avenue.
The sidewalk issue was addressed by the Engineering Department in a neighborhood
meeting with the residents along Fuller Street. The current consensus of the residents is
to construct the sidewalk on the west side of Fuller Street behind the existing trees. The
location of the sidewalk will be 2 1/2 feet from the property line rather than the standard
1 foot. This design is acceptable to both staff and the property owners.
j:\eng\user\pat\council\mem4254.mo
The Fuller Street plans include a concrete sidewalk on the west side of Fuller Street, and
a bituminous bike path on the east side. The bike path will tie into the path for the Civic
Center and the existing trail in the Upper Valley Drainageway.
The traffic control plan for Fuller Street includes a four way stop at the intersection of
Fuller Street and 10th Avenue, and stop signs on Thomas Avenue and the entrance to the
Civic Center site. Based on the projected traffic and pedestrian volumes for this area,
staff does not believe that a four way stop is warranted at Thomas Avenue and Fuller
Street at this time. However, as with any new roadway construction, staff will monitor
the traffic on Fuller Street and compare the actual traffic with the projected volumes. If
the actual traffic in the area indicates a need for additional traffic control, staff will
request permission from the City Council to perform a warrant study.
The sanitary sewer design includes a local sewer from the VIP trunk line running north
west across the Civic Center property to Thomas Avenue which will provide service to
the proposed Meadows North Subdivision. This sewer will not serve two unplatted lots
on the west side of Fuller Street which are currently unsewered. The only way to serve
both the Meadows North and the two unplatted lots is to construct a sanitary sewer along
the Fuller Street alignment from the VIP trunk to Thomas Avenue. This alignment would
require approximately 250 extra feet of sewer main than the alignment through the Civic
Center Site, and is not a very economical design.
Sanitary sewer can be provided to the two unplatted lots from the southwest side of Fuller
Street when that area develops. Extending the sewer main to the two lots will be the
responsibility of the developer of that property. Staff will be meeting with the owners of
the two lots to discuss the issue of sewer availability.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 4254, a resolution approving plans and specifications and
authorizing advertisement for bids for Fuller Street from 10th Avenue to Vierling

2. Deny Resolution No. 4254.

SUBJECT: 1995 Crack Sealing and Seal Coating Programs
Project No. 1995-10
DATE: July 18, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 4255, a resolution approving plans and specifications and
ordering the advertisement for bids for the 1995 Crack Sealing and Seal Coating
Programs, Project No. 1995-10.
BACKGROUND:
The 1995 Budget included $90,000 for pavement preservation activities such as seal
coating, crack sealing and overlaying existing pavements. Staff has reviewed that
condition of the streets in the City, and has compiled a Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
Attached is a map showing the streets that are recommended for seal coating and crack
sealing. At this time, staff is not recommending that any streets be overlaid.
The pavement rehabilitation strategies were selected based on the age and condition of
the roadways, standard pavement preservation techniques and the number, type and
severity of pavement distresses present in each roadway section. The condition of the
pavements was determined by a "windshield" survey, which consists of driving the
streets and making notes on the condition of the roadway surface.
Staff is recommending that the project be combined into one project similar to the 1990
Pavement Preservation Project to save on contract administration time. Projects of this
nature are routinely combined.
The Seal Coating Program consists of resurfacing approximately 167,000 square yards of
existing pavements. The cost estimate for the Seal Coating Project is $75,125. The
Crack Sealing Program consists of sealing approximately 22,500 linear feet of cracks.
The project cost is estimated at $6,750. The total project cost is estimated at $81,875.
This will allow for $8,125 of contingency at the current level of funding.

MEMO TO: Dennis R. Kraft, City AdministratortIA
FROM: Mike Huber, Engineering Tech. II M
SUBJECT: Alley in Block 51, Project No. 1994-14
and Pierce Street Vacation from 3rd Avenue
and 4th Avenue, Project No. 1994-5
DATE: July 18, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
Staff is requesting Council permission to accept quotes and authorize the work performed
by construction of pavement on the above referenced projects.
BACKGROUND:
At their January 18, 1994 Council meeting, City Council directed staff to prepare plans
and specifications for the vacation of Pierce Street, between 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue.
Also at their July 26, 1994 meeting, City Council ordered plans and specifications for
pavement improvements for the Alley in Block 51 (between Spencer Street and
Sommerville Street and 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue).
Public Works personnel and equipment were utilized in the summer of 1994 to prepare
the north 1/2 of Pierce Street (between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue) for paving. The
south 1/2 of Pierce Street was graded and seeded. The design for the Alley in Block 51
has been completed by City staff and Council approval of the plans and specifications is
being requested.
Due to the small size of these two projects, staff has requested and received quotes from
three paving contractors to perform the construction.
The quotes are as follows:
Bituminous Consulting, Inc., Mpls., MN 55434
• Construct and Pave Alley in Block 51 $4,682.90
• Pave Alley Width on Pierce Street $1,275.00
Total Bid $5,957.60
Plehal Blacktopping, Inc., Shakopee, MN 55379
• Construct and Pave Alley in Block 51 $5,950.00
• Pave Alley Width on Pierce Street $1,950.00
Total Bid $7,900.00
Northwest Asphalt, Shakopee, MN 55379
• Construct and Pave Alley in Block 51 $7,499.00
• Pave Alley Width on Pierce Street $2.325.00
Total Bid $9,824.00
Staff has reviewed each of these quotes and recommends awarding the work to be
performed by Bituminous Consulting, Inc. Staff has had previous experience with this
contractor and has found their work to be satisfactory.
City Council voted at their January 18, 1994 meeting to not assess the work required for
the vacation of Pierce Street. Staff is recommending that Capital Improvement Funds be
utilized to fund the paving of Pierce Street. The Alley in Block 51 is being assessed at
100% per the feasibility report. The Engineer's construction estimate for this alley was
$4,840.00.
Per 429 Special Assessment Statutues, a contract needs to be awarded within one year
after the adoption of the resolution ordering the improvement. As mentioned previously,
the improvement project for Block 51 Alley was ordered on July 26, 1994. This contract
needs to be awarded by July 26, 1995 or a new public hearing will be necessary.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve plans and specifications for the pavement improvements to the Alley in
Block 51 and accepting the quote proposal for the Alley in Block 51
improvements and paving the north 1/2 of Pierce Street between 3rd Avenue and
4th Avenue from Bituminous Consulting, Inc. in the amount of$5,957.60.
2. Direct staff to solicit additional price quotes.
3. Do Nothing.

Shakopee, MN 55379
Dear Mr. Bilotta:
The Shakopee Knights of Columbus supports the recommendation made
by the Planning Commission to have our property rezoned from R-3 to
B-1 . When the KC Hall facility was built in the mid 1970s, it was
zoned as Public and surrounded by Agriculture. Subsequently, the
area was rezoned in 1979 as Multi-family Residential (R-4) and
again, in 1994 as R-3 . The new zoning change will allow us to
rebuild if something catastrophically happens to the facility.
Lastly, the Knights of Columbus would like the City Council to
waive the $200 . 00 fee for having the property rezoned. As a non-
profit fraternal organization, we operate on a very tight budget
and this cost was not anticipated. Your consideration of this
request would be much appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
if
