Mr. Melena advised the Council that the total cost for the project is $713,356 which includes this contract and $113,700 for exterior work and architectural and engineering fees. Each building will cost $356,678. One building would be paid for by the Sewer and Water Fund. The other building would be paid for by $300,000 from the Capital Projects Fund, $40,000 from the Capital Equipment Fund and $16,000 from the Public Works budget. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 4 Mayor Branning called the public hearing to order at 8:26 p.m. on PUBLIC HEARING Project 89-331, White Oak Ridge Utility and Street Improvements, and PROJ. 89-331 noted receipt of the affidavit of publication of the hearing notice. WHITE OAK RIDGE Mr. Gretz reviewed his memo dated January 22, 1990, describing the proposed project. Street lights would add about $158.00 per lot to the cost. He noted that the Council could assess both the street and utility costs and defer payment of utility assessments until the property connects to sewer and water or for up to 15 years. Mr. Gordon reviewed the preliminary engineering report and said it recommends installation of sanitary sewer along the north side of 132nd Street. Installation in the backyards of lots abutting the lake was discussed because that is where most septic tanks are located and connections would not have to be changed in the houses° The actual cost of construction would be about the same, but assessments would be higher if installation is in the backyards because the cost could not be shard with property to the north. However, if homeowners have to tear up basements to connect through the front, the costs might offset each other. If the project proceeds, he recommended delaying a decision on the sewer location until it is discussed further with the homeowners. Eleanor Lane, as shown on the plat, would not be constructed because that property is under water. Estimated assessments are $12,200 per lot for utilities and $3,600 per lot for the street. Lynn Johnson, 13105 - 132nd Street, asked how the property north of 132nd Street will be developed and how the costs would be shared if it develops at more density than single family lots? Mr. Kelley said it is zoned R-1 for large lot single family homes without sewer and water. Once utilities are installed, it could be rezoned for standard 11,000 square foot single family lots. Mr. Gretz said estimated assessments were based on one row of 11, 100-foot wide, lots fronting on 132nd Street. Whatever development happens farther north would be subject to further assessments. Ron Dorken, 5290 - 132nd Street, said townhouses are under construction at the north end of the property. Mr. Gretz said that is the Radcliff Townhome development and is not part of the property abutting the street. Mr. Johnson asked if the number of lots increases, will the assessment go down? Mayor Branning said if the cost for the southern portion of the street is divided equally to each side, each side would be paying its fair share. Hank Zelenka, 5280 - 132nd Street, said he supports installation of the improve- ments, as he did ten years ago, and would like the lateral to run behind his house. Mr. Dorken said he would like the choice of having laterals in front of or in back of his house. If the septic tank was damaged during construction, it might require immediate connection. He also asked if the Petter lot will be developed? Mr. Gretz said there is nothing planned now; it has a very narrow access. Eleanor Petter was present, but did not comment. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 5 Susan Brown, 5200 - 132nd Street, said she is concerned about running sewer through the backyard and having to connect immediately. Mr. Gretz said the lots will have to be looked at on a case by case basis. He believes the septic tanks and drainfields are closer to the houses than most people think and would allow room for construction in the backyards. A question was asked about the 15-year deferral on utility assessment payments and would payment be required if the property is sold. Mr. Sheldon said both street and utility assessments would be levied at a set interest rate. The Council can defer payment of the utility portion and interest for up to 15 years. The City would not require payment or connection if the property is sold. Councilmember Savanick noted that usually the financing determines whether or not a property is required to connect to sewer and water. A question was asked as to who pays interest during the deferral. Mr. Melena said it would be paid by the City's Utility Fund until connections are made, or up to 15 years. The City would actually be forgiving interest during the deferral. Mr. Dorken said he is still concerned about how a decision will be made on the location of sewer lines. Mayor Branning said Staff will be contacting the property owners and if it cannot be worked out, it will be brought back to the Council. Mr. Zelenka asked if natural gas will be installed at the same time and if electric lines can be put underground? Mr. Gretz said Minnegasco usually installs gas lines at the same time and he would contact Dakota Electric also. Jim Walkowiak, 5230 - 132nd Street, said he is in favor of the project. The Mayor asked .for further questions or comments. There were none and the hearing was declared closed at 8:59 p.m. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Savanick, adopting Resolution No. 1990-27 ordering Project 89-331, White Oak Ridge Utility and Street Improvements, with street lights, subject to replat- ting the property after completion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. RES. 1990-27 ORDER 89-331 WHITE OAK RIDGE RES. 1990-28 PROJ. 89-331 PLANS & SPECS. MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Humphrey, adopting Resolution No. 1990-28 directing the Engineer to prepare plans and specifi- cations for installation of Project 89-331 subject to working out the details of sewer location. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. Mayor Branning called the public hearing to order at 9:15 p.m. on PUBLIC HEARING Project 89-332, South Farquar Lake Area Utility and Street Improve- PROJ. 89-331 ments, and noted receipt of the affidavit of publication of the FAROUAR LAKE hearing notice. He noted that a petition dated January 7, 1990, opposing the improvements had been received. The Council received copies of letters dated January 22, 1990, from Mr. and Mrs. Hesli and January 23, 1990, from the Husebys, Bruestles and Markos. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 6 Mr. Gretz reviewed his memo dated January 22, 1990, describing the proposed project. Street lights would add about $156.00 per lot and sidewalk about $846.00 to the cost. He noted that the Council could follow the same assessment and deferral procedure recommended for White Oak Ridge. Mr. Gordon reviewed the preliminary engineering report and said the existing road does not follow the right-of-way. If the project proceeds, he would recommend relocating the road to the right-of-way, where practical, and replatting or obtaining easements to accommodate existing structures and trees. Ron Wolf, 4901 Dominica Way, said he was not notified of the October meeting where the City met with property owners. Several other of his neighbors did not receive notice either. One of the residents said it was brought up during a lakeshore homeowners meeting and letters were not sent to everyone by the City. A resident noted that half the people live on the lake and half do not and would not have attend that meeting. Mr. Melena said this could be tabled and meeting held in the neighborhood before discussing it further. Jerry Kistner, 4885 Dominica Way, asked what the purpose of the project is and why it is coming up? Councilmember Goodwin said increasing maintenance costs on gravel' roads was brought to the Council's attention. In addition, there has been concern about quality of lake water in the City. The DNR indicates septic systems cause most of the water quality problems. Mr. Kistner said he received a quote, from a private contractor, of $1,500 per year to grade the street. It is also more economical to repair a septic system than install City sewer. Bev Wolf, 4901 Dominica Way, said fertilizer and recent increased development north of the lake are causing water quality problems; more so than septic systems. Mr. Gretz said information from the DNR and PCA indicates phosphorus is the major cause of the problems and septic systems are the prime source of phosphorus. Jerry Marko, 4810 Dominica Way, said he is in favor of the project; the way it is priced and financed is very doable. He has lived there since 1972 and the road needs more than grading a couple of times a year. Ten years ago he was against the project; it included a lift station and the price was too high. Gene Hesli, 4855-4865 Dominica Way, said he owns two lots, has lived there since 1965, and is in favor of the project. Jennifer Kistner, 4885 Dominica Way, said they had two separate bids at $1,500 each to maintain the road. They are concerned about run-off and most problems occurred from development and its run-off combined with the drought. According to the University of Minnesota, a properly installed septic system should last a lifetime. They contacted the City when they bought their property and were told it would be five or ten years before such a project would be considered. They were told the soil was very sandy and had good drainage and believe they were mislead. Mayor Branning said if these questions were asked a year or even six months ago; the answers were correct. The problems were only recently drawn to the Council's attention by other projects. The cost of maintenance on gravel roads is becoming CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 7 excessive. Because all taxpayers in the City contribute to pay the maintenance costs, the Council can justify the interest deferrral. Betty Wilson, 4845 Dominica Way, asked what the estimated cost per lot is? Mr. Gretz said approximately $9,720 for utilities and $3,420 for streets. Ron Berger, 4857 Dominica Way, said there are traffic problems now with people using the street as a short-cut to Pilot Knob Road. He has small children and asked what can be done for traffic control. He also noted that his property was proposed to be charged for a double lot. There is only one house on the three-acre lot and because of topography could not be subdivided. Mr. Gretz said two lots in the southwest corner of the area are questionable as to whether they can be subdivided. If such questionable properties are going to be treated as single lots, a deed restriction stating they will not be divided could be required. The property could also be replatted and combine those properties which are two lots now. Mr. Marko said he is for the project, but is against sidewalk. Mr. Wolf said he is also against the sidewalk. Jon Dahlen, 4899 Dominica Way, said he was told there were no plans in the foreseeable future when he bought his property. He like the country atmosphere and does not want it to change. With improvements, the property values will go up and taxes will rise. He also questioned the additional hook-up charge. Mr. Gretz said utilities would be stubbed to the lot line. The homeowners would have to hire a private contractor and pay for lines to the house; approximately $1,500 to $3,000. SAC charges, City connection charges and inspection fees are about $1,000. Bob Gjovik, 4850 Dominica Way, said he has two lots and it would be cheaper for him to have utility connections through Oaks III. He was told three years ago there were no plans for such improvements. Mike Boike, 4854 Dominica Way, said he bought his lot in September of 1988 and moved in October of 1989. He might have been able to defer paying for a well and septic system if he knew about the project and believes he was mislead. Betty Rabe, 4877 Dominica Way, commented on material put on the road to keep the dust down which could be eliminated. Gail Gjovik, 4850 Dominica Way, said they were told three years ago it would probably be ten years before improvements would be considered. Mr. Hesli commented on the benefit of deferment and said before the 15 years is up most septic systems will have to be replaced and utilities will be there for connection. Mrs. Kistner said the financing is a good deal, but not if they don't want it. They chose to live there because of what exists and made the decision to purchase based on that. Mr. Kistner said the street doesn't affect anyone except those who live on it. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 8 Bill Rabe, 4877 Dominica Way, said they were originally told there would be a barrier on the west end of the street, will it be put in now? He is opposed to sidewalks also. Mayor Branning said the barrier was in place at one time and removed because it was a hazard and vehicles drove around it. Councilmember Savanick questioned access to three lots with a private drive and whether it should be changed. Mayor Branning said if it became City right-of-way, it would need to be a cul de sac. Residents will have to make a decision on whether to restrict subdivision of individual lots. Mrs. Wolf asked who pays for seal coating and maintenance of a blacktop road and would electric be put underground? Mayor Branning said maintenance is part of an annual program and paid by general taxes of the City. Mr. Gretz said they would work with Dakota Electric and attempt to have it done. Mr. Boike asked if the cost of deferring assessments had been plugged into offsetting the cost of maintaining gravel roads? Mayor Branning said these are two different funds, the Utility Fund and the General Fund, and cannot be used to offset costs. Mrs. Kistner questioned the marketability of property with $20,000 of assessments. Councilmember Savanick said the improvements generally increase the value and many buyers stay away from property with wells and septic systems. Mayor Branning asked that the hearing be continued for two weeks to allow discussion of further information on the costs. Mr. Gretz said a further informational meeting could be held at the Central Maintenance Facility at 7:00 p.m. on February 1, 1990. The Mayor declared the hearing recessed at 10:32 p.m. MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Goodwin, continuing the hearing on Project 89-332 until 8:00 p.m. on February 8, 1990. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. CONTINUE HEARING Mayor Branning called the public hearing to order at 10:39 p.m. on PUBLIC HEARING amending the City's Master Development District and Tax Increment TIFAMENDMENT Financing Plans for ring route construction noted receipt of the RING ROUTE affidavit of publication of the hearing notice. Mr. Melena said the purpose of the amendment is to allow excess increment from other districts to be used to construct the ring route in the downtown area. It would include construction of turning lanes and improvements along Cedar Avenue and County Road 42. He estimated that about $300,000 per year would be available to finance these improvements. Councilmember Savanick said she believes this will be the most important public tax increment financing contribution to the City; in the form of street widening, sidewalks, landscaping, etc. The Mayor asked for other questions or comments. There were none and the hearing was declared closed at 10:44 p.m. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 9 MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Savanick, adopting Resolution No. 1990-29 approving amendments relating to the Master Development Program and District and existing Tax Increment Financing Plans to provide for construction of ring route improvements. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. RES. 1990-29 AMEND TIF PLAN FOR RING ROUTE RES. 1990-30 AWARD CONTRACT PROJ. 89-321 MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Savanick, adopting Resolution No. 1990-30 awarding the contract for Project 89-321, Downtown Ring Route Reconstruction, to McNamara Contracting, the low bidder, in the amount of $2,6B8,814 and not accepting the alternate with Bomanite sidewalks and boulevard. Peter Nasvik, of Concrete Design Specialties, was present and commented on the Bomanite method of coloring and imprinting concrete. He questioned whether the integral color method selected by the City would achieve a satisfactory result. While it is true that the dust-on color in the Bomanite method may chip, he believes it is easier to repair. He suggested the most satisfactory installation would be to mix neutral color in the concrete and add the dust-on color to the surface. If the Bomanite alternative is accepted, he would use method for the price bid. Mr. Melena said Staff and the Engineer have had substantial dialogue on the design during the planning process. Bomanite was looked at and is a good product, but it is subject to chipping and is very costly. The recommendation remains to award the contract without the alternate. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - O. Mr. Welsch reviewed his memo dated January 22, 1990, concerning REVISED SAND & revisions to the sand and gravel mining ordinance. The Planning GRAVEL ORDINANCE Commission has recommended adoption, noting it will continue to be reviewed and additional changes may be recommended in thc next few months. Other agencies have not made recommendations on the Gravel Mining Environmental Impact Statement. If they result from this review process, such as further dust control requirements, etc., the amendments would be brought to the Council. Mayor Branning asked if the City Attorney has reviewed the document? Mr. Welsch said no, because they had not gotten to the final version until now. Mr. Sheldon said the Council can pass whatever ordinance is appropriate. If it is later amended, that can be done without being a precedent or implying a contract with any gravel operator. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, passing Ordinance No. 472 amending Section A1-48 of the City Code, "SG" Sand and Gravel District, providing for the operation and regulation of sand and gravel extraction and processing thereof. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. ORDINANCE 472 SAND & GRAVEL CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota January 25, 1990 Page 10 MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, approving a Joint Powers Agreement establishing the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority, with the Cities of Burnsville, Eagan, Prior Lake, Rosemount and Savage, with paragraph 6,K revised as recommended at today's joint meeting. TRANSIT OPT-OUT J.P. AGREEMENT The Council discussed the revised language of paragraph 6.K and expressed concern that it might cause a problem in limiting the Authority's conduct of business. It was noted that a further amendment could be approved if needed. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Savanick, appointing Mayor Branning as the City's Commissioner to the Board of the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority and appointing the City Administrator as the alternate. Ayes ~ 5 - Nays - O. APPOINT REP. TO TRANSIT BOARD The Council received a memo dated January 23, 1990, from the City SKIPPER'S Attorney concerning Skipper's Restaurant property. Mr. Melena said PROPERTY that since redevelopment of the corner of County Road 42 and Cedar was first discussed, it has now become apparent that it is more important to control the Skipper's site than the Savings and Loan site. Mr. Sheldon said, at this time, it is not clear what is really for sale, as far as lease, land and underlying interest in the property. The City's purpose in trying to acquire it would be to control the site for the least cost to the City. Mr. Melena the Savings and Loan site has been offered to the City for $265,000 with $10,000 paid down tomorrow and closing by the end of the month. He does not recommend proceeding with the purchase under those terms. MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Savanick, authorizing Staff to negotiate an agreement with the owner of the Skipper's Restaurant site (in Apple Valley Commercial Addition) for a purchase price not to exceed $195,000, including the ability to remove the building and continue leasehold rights even though the building has been demolished, subject to final approval of the details by the Council. Ayes ~ 4 - Nays - 1 (Holton). NEGOTIATE FOR SKIPPER'S SITE MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Humphrey, authorizing Staff to negotiate a six-month option to purchase the Savings and Loan site (in Apple Valley Commercial Addition) for up to $10,000 at a purchase price not to exceed $265,000. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 1 (Holton).

The Council reviewed the proposal for the 1991 session and noted it was not part of the approval at this time. Councilmember Goodwin said he wanted to be on record as opposing goal number 10. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 3 - Nays - 1 (Goodwin) (Holton Abstained). Mr. Melena said a breakfast meeting for all Dakota County officials is being scheduled by Burnsville for February 2, 1990, at 7:30 a.m. Anyone wishing to attend should let him know.
