He explained that the existing single family home located on the proposed Lot 7, Block 1, owned by Mrs. Sullivan,.. is being included with the final plat so that the proper right-of--way for 210th Street can be dedicated in a continuous fashion across the entire length of the Royal Woods development. Due to its status as a .major collector, direct driveway access to .210th Street will be prohibited, except for the existing Sullivan home. The developer has submitted a landscape plan for the lots abutting 210th Street to provide a buffer between the future homes and the street. Except for Lot 7, Block 1, all lots in the final plat will be mass graded.

TTEM 14 Mr. Bill Barbush of B & G Development requested Council consideration of the ® final plat of Highview Heights 5th Addition, which consists of 30 .single family residential lots located north of Griffon Trail and west of Grove Trail. Mr. Morey provided an overview. of the final plat, which is zoned R-2, single family residential district, and is the final phase of development of the Highview Heights preliminary plat approved in 1988. He explained that the developer has made design modifications to the final plat to accommodate the designation of Harmony Path as a minor collector street. At the time of preliminary plat approval, Grove Trail was proposed to be the north-south minor collector between Griffon Trail and County Road 46. However, the Dakota County Highway Department identified the intersection of Grove Trail and County Road 46 as a right-in, right-out only intersection during their planning for the upgrading of County Road 46. They further identified the intersection of Harmony Path and County .Road 46 as a full intersection with complete turning movements, which forced the designation of Harmony Path as the north-south collector street for the area. The street will be 44 feet wide with five foot concrete sidewalks on both sides. Mr. Morey explained that the entire Highview Heights subdivision was. mass graded in 1989 under an approved grading permit. Therefore, no mass grading will take place, and finished grading will occur on an individual lot basis as houses are .constructed. Tree protection fencing will be placed at the driplines of some significant trees located outside the boundary of the plat, whose canopies extend into the plat. A security will be submitted to ensure protection of these trees. Due to its status as a major collector street, direct driveway access to Griffon Trail will be prohibited, except for the CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6,1992 PAGE 7 two corner lots that also abut Harmony Path. Driveway access for these two lots can be off of either Griffon Trail or Harmony Path, since .both are collector streets. Mr. Morey stated the developer has submitted a check establishing an escrow for security to the development contract pending receipt of a letter of credit. Staff recommends approval. Councilmember Sindt asked about the land located outside the boundary of the plat where the tree protection fencing will be placed and the area north of lot 1, block 2 where an 18-inch Cherry tree currently exists. Mr. Morey explained that the area .north of lot 1, block 2, is under the developer's control, and measures will be taken to preserve that tree. Mayor Zaun asked about driveway access far the two lots at the intersection of Griffon Trail and Harmony Path. Mr. Morey explained .that .the Planning Commission discussed turnaround hammerhead driveways, and staff was concerned with the proliferation of pavement in the front yards. It was recommended that the developer be given the option to access these lots on either Harmony Path or Griffon Trail. 92.156 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Mulvihill to approve Resolution No. 92-114 .approving the final .plat and development agreement for Highview Heights 5th Addition. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Mulvihill, Zaun, Sindt. Mayor Zaun called a short recess at 8:25 p.m. and the Council meeting was reconvened at 8:30 p.m. ITEM 16 Mr. Feller introduced Dick Asleson of Juran & Moody, Inc., .who presented the proposed Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Lakeville, Lakeville Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), Indeppendent School District 194 (ISD 194) the Lakeville Community Corporation (LCC) and the Lakeville Hockey Association (LHA) for the development of a 40,000 square foot ice arena facility.. Mr. Asleson, who is serving as underwriter for the project, has been involved with the budget reviews and .reported that, in his opinion, the project is financially feasible. He explained that ISD 194 will donate the land for the ice arena facility (at the northeast corner of Ipava Avenue and Highway 50 near .the high school} to the City, who. will in turn transfer title to the Lakeville HRA. The HRA will issue $1,375,000 of revenue bonds far construction of the ice arena. Issuance costs of approximately $91,250 are to be paid by the LHA. The LHA will also pay the net interest costs on the bonds which are incurred prior to the construction of the facility approximately $27,460). In addition, the LCC must raise $496,331 in cantnbutions by October 15, 1993, and the LHA must provide $140,000 in additional pull tab revenue before.February,1994. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6,1992 PAGE 8 Mr. Asleson went on to explain that the City would become the owner of the facility once the bonds are paid off. The LCC would sublease the facility from the City of Lakeville and will be totally responsible for the operation of the facility, while the City will be responsible for all payroll and financial reporting of the ice arena.. Mr. Asleson stated the ice arena, in and of itself, cannot support the payment of the debt- service without annual pull tab revenue from the LHA of a proximately $70,000. The City would receive $70,000 from the LHA annually, plus of the pull tab profits in excess of $70,000. These funds would be set aside to help pay off the debt service. Mr. Asleson provided a time line for construction of the facility. The bond sale would take .place on July 20th, with the closing on August 3, 1992.. He explained that bond proceeds will not be expended for construction purposes unless the LCC and LHA have met their fund raising goals by November 13, 1993. If these goals are not met, the ice arena .construction project will be cancelled, and the bonds will be called as of February 1, 1994. If the money is raised, construction would begin in early 1994, with an estimated August, 1994,. completion date. Mr. Asleson explained. that the building will be considered fully functional, without such options as permanent seating, infrared heaters, locker room toilets, directories or food sernce equipment. These options could be added in future years if community funding is available. Mr. Dave Johnston, President of the LHA, presented a check to .the City of Lakeville in the amount of $118,710 to cover the bond issuance and interest costs on the bonds. Mr. Jim Morrow spoke on behalf of the LCC, and Mr. Steve Burben showed an elevation and site plan of the proposed ice arena facility. Councilmember Sindt asked how the City's bond rating would be affected if a default on the bonds would occur. Mr. Asleson stated that while these are not general obligation bonds, they are obligations. Moody's Investors has taken the position that if a default occurs on a lease, it would be the same as a default on general obligation bonds. Mr. Erickson. added that when Moody's Investors reaffirmed the City's "A" rating for the bond issue under agenda item No. 8, a full disclosure had been made regarding financing for the ice arena project. Mayor Zaun asked Mr. Asleson what he feels are the risk factors. involved in this project. Mr. Asleson stated he felt,. assuming Minnesotans retain their current level of interest in hockey over the next 20 years, the project will be successful. Mayor Zaun also asked about the future of pull-tab revenue in the years to come. Mr. Erickson stated an amendment was incorporated in the document to allow the LHA to use other revenue sources in the event charitable gambling is no longer available.. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6,1992 PAGE 9 Councilmember Mulvihill commended the efforts of the Ice Arena Task Force far bringing this project to fruition. 92.157 Motion was made by Mulvihill, seconded by Sindt to approve Resolution No, 92-116 approving the Memorandum of Understanding and related documents for the proposed ice arena project. :Roll :call was aken on he motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt, Mulvihill. ITEM 17 Mr. Nelson presented an addendum to the. feasibility report prepared in 1984 for the extension of sanitary sewer along 195th Street West (Schweich lst Addition). As directed by the City Council, staff updated the project's construction costs and assessments and held a neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposed project. Fourteen residents were in attendance at that meeting, and most residents were in favor of the project. Mr. Nelson recommended the project be assessed on an equal unit basis, and only the existing lots in the Schweich Addition and the three existing homes along Holyoke Avenue would be assessed for this project. There would be no assessments at this time to the undeveloped property located outside of the MUSA line. When development or platting occurs on these larger parcels in the future, the City would collect . access charges equivalent to lateral sewer assessments at that time. Mr. Nelson suggested a public hearing be held at the August 3rd Council meeting. 92.158 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Mulvihill to approve Resolution No. 92-117 receiving Addendum Number One to the 1984 feasibility report for sanitary sewer extension along 195th Street West, Improvement Project 92-10, and calling a public hearing for August 3,.1992, at 7:30 p.m. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Mulvihill, Zaun. TI'EM 18 Mr. Feller presented a resolution establishing the collection of a state imposed water testing charge. He explained that the State Legislature passed a law which authorizes the Department of Health to assess an annual fee of $5.21 .for every water service connection to a public water supply. The fee is to be collected for every service connected to the water supply as of July 1st. The Legislature's intent is to use these funds to enforce the requirements of the federal drinking water act and regulations developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for providing safe drinking water.. The City has approximately 7200 water accounts that are on the water supply system; therefore, the total annual payment to he State will be approximately $37,000. Mr. Feller explained that the Legislature directed the $5.21 be collected in four equal payments. Since $5.21 is not divisible by four, it is recommended that residents be billed $1.30 per quarter. CITY OF LAKEVII .I .F COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, .1992 . PAGE 10 Mr. Erickson voiced his frustration with this state imposed fee to local residents. He pointed out a comparison in the cost effectiveness of allowing the .cities to perform these water tests versus the State. He explained that this water testing charge will be separately denoted on the residents' utility bills, and informative articles will appear in the Messages page. 92.159 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Mulvihill to .approve Resolution No. 92-118 establishing collection of the State imposed water .testing (per service connection) charge. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Mulvihill, Zaun, Sindt. ITEM 15 Mr. Erickson explained that one year ago, the City Council adopted an ordinance which .would allow the City time to adopt appropriate land use controls for growth management and, in the interim, to protect the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the community.. The Strategic Growth Management Task Force was farmed to make short or intermediate term recommendations or suggestions on strategies relating to how the rate, location and kind of residential and commercial/industrial growth can generate fiscal stability, preserve or enhance the quality of life and quality of services, while minimizing the impact on City systems and taxpayers. FI'ask Force members received information from a number of sources in an effort to analyze the fiscal impact of growth and develop growth management strategies. In addition to fiscal constraints, the Task Force focused heavily on sewer capacity constraints. Mr. Erickson explained that nine-month population projections have just been issued by the Metropolitan Council for the City of Lakeville. For the first time in .history, the Metropolitan Council's population rojections are higher than what City staff has projected. That places the City m a good position to pursue the expansion of the Empire Treatment Plant, which would ultimately increase the City s sewer capacity. Mr. Erickson stated he felt the proposed nine-month extension of the moratorium on single family residential plats is fully justified, as well as the. 18-month extension on high density multipple family dwellings. Commercial-industrial property would not be affected.. The Lakeville Chamber of Commerce, as well as the City's Economic Development Commission, support the recommendations of the Strategic Growth Management Task Force.. Mr. Erickson. addressed the comments made by Bill Traiser under Citizens' Comments. He explained that Mr. Traiser's commercial building on Highway 50 is not fully occupied, and staff has received calls from tenants interested in renting that space. He also addressed the comments made by Edward Vivant, and explained that he believed Mr. Vivant was paid by Arcon Construction for the use of his property to a drainage outlet .for the Lynwood North 6th Addition. It was his .further understanding that the drainage matter was concept designed so that there could be an orderly expansion of the Lynwood CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6,1992 PAGE 11 North 6th Addition in the future, incorporating Mr. Vivant's land. Mr. Erickson stated he felt anine-month extension of the moratorium will not place a particular hardship on his property, since the property is "green acred". However, staff would be willing to further review the matter at Mr. Vivant's request. Mr. .Knutson explained that the proposed interim ordinance temporarily prohibiting approval of certain- residential development is subject to several exceptions as listed in the ordinance. He indicated that additional adjustments could be made if the Council sees fit. Mayor Zaun asked how many preliminary platted lots either currently exist in the City at this time or have legal standing in the preliminary stage. Staff indicated that there are approximately 1900 lots, or two and one-half year's supply at the current rate of housing starts. 92.160 Motion. was made by Sindt, seconded by Mulvihill to receive the letter from the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce dated June 25, 1992, a letter from Arcon Development, Inc. dated June 29, .1992 and a letter from Edward P. Vivant dated July 1,1992 (letters on file in the City Clerk's office). Roll call was taken on the motion.
