Chair Matasosky added that this is a good outcome of the process.
Comm. Tushie stated that the Soil and Conservation District has funding sources for
low impact development practices that might be worth exploring for future
development.
4. Presentation of the Results of the 2007 Decision Resources Community
Survey =
Assistant to City Administrator Brian Anderson reviewed the results of the 2007
Decision Resources Community Survey. He stated that~ttae_ survey has been
trimmed down from approximately 160 questioris: 0 90 questtarts. 400 residents
from different areas of the community were suiweyed.
.
j::
Comm. Pogatchnik asked if the affordable ht~using question in the survey indicated
whether or not residents would support City do3lars;`beiri`g invested into affordable
housing.
Mr. Anderson responded that thus
r'vey .question wasn't specific to contribution of
dollars or program development. ~
Comm. Tushie stated that it all depends or~'`how you; ask the question in the survey
whether residents will support somethirig or not.
r v,.
'c
Comm. Pogatchnik stated that the City has,a fantastic cable department and was
curious as to why -the City:cable channel Awas rated so low as a primary source of
City mfor~nattora for the residents ~ ~
;
Mr Mielke responc3sd, that''nne reason may be a lack of programming information
letting:viewers know urhen certain programs are scheduled for the channel. He
added.that the City is currentlj~''exploring ways to add programming information for
the City cable channel 16!.
Comm. Tushte<asked about support for transit in Lakeville.
Mr. Mielke respondfed that the majority aren't in favor of being part of the transit
taxing district mainly because there is no guarantee transit facilities would even be
located in Lakeville.
Comm. Tushie responded that he didn't want a lack of transit support in the
community survey to deter the City from pursuing transit for Lakeville.

Comm. Gehrke added that the questions in the survey don't get to the heart of the
transit situation in Lakeville.
Comm. Pogatchnik asked at what population point have other cities decided to join
the transit taxing district?
Mr. Mielke responded that since its inception, no cities have voluntarily joined that
were outside of the transit taxing district. The Metropolitan'Council already has a
budget deficit for transit and doesn't have the money >to expand their existing
services.
`
Chair Matasosky summarized by saying that Lakeville will have transit at some point,
but right now the Met Council can't guarantee service, politics get in.the way, and it's
hard to sign on to something that you don't benefit from.
Comm. Tushie stated that the issue won't go antay and"that the City~~should do a
more detailed study on transit in Lakeville.
Chair Matasosky added that Lakeville'.cxpuld work with Farmington and other cities to
come up with a transit plan. { ~~rr 'r
~
r
Mr. Mielke stated thatthe City Councl has said tliatirt`S not a matter of "if' Lakeville
will join the transit axing district, but wti'eh". At this point it's hard to justify joining
something that currently has Aperating cost problems.
err
Comm. Brantly asked if light rail isself-sustainable in theory.
:~s
Mr. Mielke responded that:all transit is`subsidized in some fashion, just some more
than others
.f,
Mr MteTice added that according to Dr. Bill Morris of Decision Resources, Lakeville
has seemed, to recently,tCansition from what is known as a "Type I" community that is
considering ~n!hether" tc?''grow, into a "Type II" community that is deciding "what" to
grow in termsz~f development.
5. Review of Draft Airlake Airport Comprehensive Plan Update
Mr. Olson reviewed the draft Airlake Airport Comprehensive Plan and noted that this
is a Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) driven process different from the
requirements local units of government have to go through in the comprehensive
land use planning process.

Mr. Olson noted that there are two main components of this Comp Plan update
including:
1. Extension of the runway to 5,D00 feet to allow for more private corporate
aircraft.
2. The south hangar area be partially served by City sewer and water and
developed with additional hangars.
Mr. Olson added that at one point there was a portion of the Comp Plan that called
for constructing across-wind runway. This is no longed a:-.part of the plan. The
extension of the runway to S,OOD feet would impact Cedar Avenue and would involve
relocating a portion of the roadway to the east to accommodate the conger runway.
Comm. Brantly asked if MAC would pay; for this road relocation and fvlr. Olson
responded that that would likely be the case:'
The EDC gave their support of the Draft Airlake. Airport Comprehensive Plan
Update. They also indicated that=rMAC should commat to the runway extension plan
soon and should reach an agreement to secure the necessary land as soon as
possible.

Subject: August Director's Report
The following is the Director's Report for August of 2007.
Proaosed Senior Housing Proiect
City staff had an initial meeting this week with representatives of Welsh Companies
and Walker Methodist regarding a proposed senior housing project adjacent to the
new St. John's Lutheran Church on 202nd Street, east of Highview Avenue. The
project that is currently being proposed contains 154 units and would include a
combination of independent, assisted living and memory care units. The developers
have the property optioned and have recently begun their due diligence period.
There are a number of planning, infrastructure, and financing issues that remain to
be worked through. Provided these issues can be resolved, the developers would
like to commence construction in the Spring of 2008 with occupancy in the second
half of 2009. Staff will keep the EDC apprised on this project as it moves through
the process.

a proposed commercial project at Co. Rd. 46 and Kenyon Ave. The proposed
Brunswick Zone entertainment facility is the largest portion of the development and
would include a 68,000 square foot building that would contain 38 bowling lanes, a
large arcade type area and restaurant bar area. There were considerable concerns
expressed by residents of the Kenwood Oaks neighborhood primarily dealing with

Rosemount to use eminent domain to acquire downtown property
Posted: 8/~/op
by Tad Johnson
Thisweek Newspapers
The city of Rosemount's attempt to purchase a single property to clear the way for a downtown redevelopment
project took some more twists and turns Monday night.
After a motion to table an item to authorize using eminent domain to acquire the Ratzlaff Service Station
property failed, the 6 p.m. Rosemount Port Authority meeting adjourned and was continued after the 7:30
p.m. regular City Council meeting.
During the second part of the Port Authority meeting, commissioners voted 5-2 to initiate eminent domain
action for the property owned by Rosemount resident and veterinarian Dr. Kurt Walter-Hansen.
"I can go home and make a decision that you think is wrong, but I can't go home to make a decision that I
think is wrong," Port Authority Chairman Mike Baxter said right before the vote was taken.
Port Authority members Phillip Sterner and Bill Droste voted against using eminent domain.
During the first part of the meeting, Droste motioned to table the item until the Port Authority's next meeting
on Aug. zt.
"I think we should be the patient ones," Droste said.
Baxter made a "friendly amendment" to Droste's motion that the authority table the action to the Sept. 4
meeting with the additional goal to create a "fair process" to forge an option for purchasing the property.
A motion to table consideration of eminent domain until Sept. 4 failed by a 4-3 vote.
Commissioners Mark DeBettignies, Jay Tentinger, Mary Riley and Bruno DiNella voted against tabling the
item.
Some commissioners made several remarks toward Hansen as he sat in the front row with his wife, Patricia
Walter.
DiNella said he could predict what would happen if there was a continuation.
"Come Tuesday there will be no communication," he said. "Then we will find two or three pieces of paper (at
our places) with a new proposal.... I think we are just procrastinating and beating a dead horse."
"I would be opposed to continuing this," Tentinger said. "We are going to be used one more time. I don't think
that is what we want to do here:'
About 7o people attended the first part of the meeting and about 3o remained for the second portion of the

_ t
meeting, which adjourned about 8:4o p.m.
The city reported that the next step will be that the authority's attorney will file a condemnation petition with
Dakota County District Court and arrange a court hearing.
The city plans to issue a "quick-take" notice, which means the authority intends to acquire title and possession
of the property before the commissioners render a final award.
The court must hold a hearing on the petition and the use of quick-take, and the owners will have the
opportunity to challenge the petition at the hearing.
The redevelopment project includes a single building with approximately r3,ooo square feet of commercial
space and approximately to8 apartment units as proposed by Stonebridge Companies of Apple Valley.
It would be situated on the north and east sides of Core Block East, which is bounded by Highway 3 and Burma
Avenue and r46th Street and Lower t4~th Street.
The redevelopment does not alter the three houses/business properties owned by Hansen at the southwest
corner of the block.
