liabilities. With the pension costs increasing from $81,252
in 1991 to $140,44? in 1992, the City will incur an
additional $59,195 of expenses with no off-setting revenue
source.
91.152 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to acknowledge
receipt of Lakeville Fire Relief Association Certification of
Financial Requirements of the Relief Association Special .Fund
for 1992.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Mulvihill,

ITEM 8
Mayor Zaun opened the public hearing on the proposed
reconstruction of County Road 46 (160th Street West) between
Ipava Avenue and Cedar Avenue, Improvement Project 91-1;
7:28 p.m. The city clerk attested that public notices. were
duly published and mailed.
City Engineer, Keith Nelson, provided an overview of the
project, .estimated costs, proposed financing and assessments
as follows:
The proposed project consists of the upgrading of County Road
46 with widening, channelization and turn lane construction,
as well as storm sewer and watermain improvements. The
project includes the portion of County Road 46 from a point
500 feet west of .Ipava Avenue to a point 350 feet west of
Cedar Avenue. In addition to the City of Lakeville, the
cities of Apple Valley and Burnsville border a substantial
portion of the north side of this roadway..
The present roadway. is a two-lane undivided rural .type
highway without adequate turn lanes. The .existing sharp
vertical curves with inadequate site distance .and increased
traffic have contributed to traffic safety problems. The.
proposed roadway will consist of a four-lane urban section
roadway with two lanes in each direction, concrete curb and
gutter, a six-foot bituminous shoulder, medians for traffic
control and left and right turn lanes at all street
intersections except Grove Trail. There will be no median
break at Grove Trail, and only right turn-in and right
turn-out movements will be allowed at this location. An
eight-foot bituminous trail. is proposed on both sides of the
street for the full length of the improvement project.
- CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
- ~ AUGUST 5, 1991
PAGE 5
Buried electrical conduits will be placed under the street at
Ipava Avenue, Lac Lavon Drive, Gardenview Drive and Granada
Avenue to facilitate the possible. future installation of
traffic signals at these locations. Because of the
anticipated traffic volumes and the presence of the existing
school at Ipava Avenue, it is anticipated that this
intersection may meet the warrants necessary for a traffic
signal after the completion of the proposed interchange with
I-35.
City staff, along with Dakota County Engineer Dave Everds and
engineering consultants from OSM, held a neighborhood meeting
on May 30th to go over preliminary plans and specifications
.with adjacent property owners. Several citizens made
comments at that meeting and, as a result, the County made
several adjustments to the project plans.
The project is to be financed by joint agreements with Dakota
County, Apple Valley, Burnsville and Lakeville and will be
split between the County and Cities based. upon a 55% County
and 45% City .participation. The City of Lakeville will be
responsible for the majority of the cost for storm sewer:
main-line. and 100% of the watermain improvement costs on this
project. The County will pay 100% of the cost for .the
• bituminous trail on the south side of the street. The Cities
are responsible for the trail on the north side, and the cost
will be divided proportionately based upon each city's
respective frontage.
Mr. Nelson provided a breakdown of the costs to the City of
Lakeville as follows.
Streets: $558,200 Storm Sewer: $501,900
Watermain: $169,700 Right-of-Way: $175,800
Total Construction Costs: $1,405,600. In addition to
construction and right-of-way costs, .indirect costs for
engineering,. administration and financing are estimated at
35% of the total construction cost.
The benefitting properties which abut County Road 46 are
proposed to be assessed in accordance with the City's State
Aid Assessment Policy. The MSA assessment rate estimated for
1991 is $40.50 per front foot for an urban type residential
street equivalent. Commercially zoned property is proposed
to be assessed at 1.5 times the residential rate, or $60.75
per front foot. The cost of right-of-way associated with
street construction will be paid for with Municipal State Aid
Funds. The adjacent developments (Bluebill. Bay, Trotter's
Ridge and Chapel Hills) have previously escrowed funds to
cover their share of the street assessments, and no
- CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
= AUGUST 5, 1991
PAGE 6
additional assessments are .proposed for these areas. Storm
sewer improvements are proposed to be funded from the City's
Trunk Storm Sewer Fund and MSA Funding. Until sanitary sewer
becomes available, there will be no assessments for watermain
improvements. When development occurs or connection is made,
watermain access charges will. be required.
Mr. Nelson provided a summary of the proposed financing as
follows.
Special Assessments
Streets $375,800
Cash Escrows 115,900
Trunk Utility Fund 253,700
Trunk Storm -Sewer Fund 354,200
Park Trail Fund 16,800
MSA Funding 719 800
Total Financial Responsibility for Lakeville $1,836,200.
Mr. Nelson explained that plans. and specifications are
.tentatively scheduled to be completed in September of this
year. The plans and specifications will be forwarded to the
City Council for final approval prior to advertisement for
bids. Some utility work could begin this fall; however, the
majority of construction is slated to take .place in 1992,
with an estimated completion in the summer of 1993. The
assessment hearing would take place in the fall of 1993.
Mayor Zaun opened the hearing to questions and comments.
Mr. Mark Schroer, representing Crystal Lake United Church of
Christ, asked to see the plan revisions made by the County
since the neighborhood meeting.. Dakota County Engineer,. Dave
Everds, reviewed the revised plans with Mr. Schroer.
Mr. Jim Davis, also representing the Crystal Lake :Church,
asked how church property is assessed. Mr. Nelson explained
that since the property is zoned R-2, it will be assessed. at
the residential rate of $40.50 per front foot.
Councilmember Sindt asked if 160th Street will be open to
traffic during construction. Mr. Everds explained that the
road .will probably have one. lane open for traffic at all
times, and cross traffic will be .maintained at all
intersections.

Councilmember Sindt suggested ALF Ambulance be contacted
prior to the onset of construction. Mr. Erickson suggested
that all local public safety entities be invited to the.
pre-construction meeting.
Councilmember Mulvihill asked if the construction plans
include the flattening of grades on 160th Street for better
site distance. Mr. Nelson explained that they will try to
level the grades as much as possible; however there are
limits due to existing utilities and adjacent streets..
Councilmember Ruhmann asked when this project will tie in
with the proposed interchange improvement at I-35. Mr.
Nelson explained that the second phase of .the County Road 46
project, (from Ipava to Joplin, including the interchange) is
scheduled for 1993 construction.
Councilmember Sindt asked about the restricted ingress and
.egress at 160th Street and Grove Trail. Mr. Nelson explained
that a median break with left turns is not possible at Grove
Trail, because its close proximity to Granada Avenue does not
meet intersection spacing requirements and does not allow for
the development of adequate turn lanes.
• 91.153 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to close the
public hearing.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Mulvihill, Harvey,
Ruhmann, Zaun, Sindt.

ITEM 10
Mr. Nelson presented a resolution restricting. parking on both
sides of County Road 46 between Ipava Avenue and. 350' west of
Cedar Avenue. The roadway, which is being constructed with
six foot shoulders, does not have adequate width for
parking. Since this roadway is on the state aid system, the
parking restriction is necessary for state aid funds. The
Cities of Apple Valley and Burnsville have adopted similar
resolutions.
Councilmembers suggested an amendment to the resolution to
exclude the segments on the north side of County Road 46 that
are not in Lakeville.
91.156 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to approve
Resolution No. 91-103, restricting parking on County Road 46
from Ipava Avenue to 350' west of Cedar Avenue, to read as
follows: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City shall
ban the parking of motor vehicles on both sides of County
Road 46 (160th Street} within the City of Lakeville.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt,
Mulvihill„ Harvey, Ruhmann.
ITEM 12
Mr. Sobota presented the final plat of Orchard Oaks (a/k/a
Trabant Addition), consisting of 11 single .family residential
lots on the west side of Orchard Lake. The preliminary plat
was approved by the City Council on March 4, 1991.
Mr. Sobota explained that the Planning Commission reviewed
the plat and recommended a number of stipulations, which have
been incorporated into the development contract. The
triangular piece of property, Outlot A, will be sold to the
adjacent property owner to the north of Lots 1 and 2, Block
1, .after the final plat is recorded. (The sale of Outlot A
to Mrs. Jensen is necessary for driveway access to the new
Judicial Road alignment.) The front yard setback of the
house on Lot 9, Block 2, is being extended to a 40 foot
setback, rather than the required 30 foot setback, to
accommodate additional parking in the driveway.
Mr. Sobota stated the developer has. paid the storm sewer
connection charge, park and trail dedication, engineering
administration fee, traffic control signage fees :and the
first two years of street light operating costs.. Mr. Trabant
has. also submitted a letter of credit as required in .the
development contract. Staff recommends approval of the final
plat.

•
Councilmember Harvey questioned the change in setback from 50
feet to 40 feet on Lot 9, Block 2. Staff explained that the
setback is being reduced to 40 feet,- because of the
additional 10 feet of right of way being dedicated for
Judicial Road. Mr. Erickson explained that the additional
driveway length on Lot 9 wiU. accommodate off-street parking,
since there will be no on-street parking allowed on that
segment of Judicial Road.
Councilmember Harvey voiced concern regarding the amount of
fill that is required on Lot 8.
91.157 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Ruhmann to adopt
Resolution No. 91-105. approving the final plat and
development agreement for Orchard Oaks.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Mulvihill.,
Harvey, Ruhmann, Zaun. Councilmember Harvey's affirmative
vote was done reluctantly, as he felt settling will likely
occur on Lot 8 due to the required amount of fill.
ITEM 14
Mr. Sobota presented the request of Independent. .School
District (ISD) 194 for a conditional use permit amendment to
allow expansion of their existing Family Learning Center
facility into an adjacent bay in the Kenwood Center Shopping
Center. A conditional use permit was granted to ISD 194 in
1989 to allow the establishment of this facility. The
Planning Commission held a public hearing on the request and
recommended approval subject to amendments to stipulations 2
and 4. Stipulation number 2 was amended to require at least
six drop-off parking spaces; and stipulation 4 requires the
submission of a parking management plan. ISD 194 has
submitted a parking management plan, which provides for 10
drop-off parking spaces. Mr. Sobota explained that. both the
original conditional use permit No. 89-09 and the. amendment
would expire on July 1, 1996, which is the expiration date of
ISD 194's lease at the Kenwood .Center. Staff recommends
approval of the conditional use permit amendment.
Councilmember Sindt asked how many employees were. assigned to
that facility, and Superintendent Wahlstrom stated there will
be 12 employees. Staff indicated there are adequate parking
spaces to meet the employee's needs.
91.158 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to receive
the Planning Commission's findings of fact and approve a
• conditional use permit amendment for Independent School

ITEM 15
Mr. Sobota presented the request of Richard Clemmer (Dick's
Sanitation Service) for a conditional use permit amendment to
allow the construction of a storage building on his
industrial property located °on County Road 70 east of Dodd
Boulevard. Mr. Sobota explained that Mr. Clemmer has begun
construction. of a storage building behind his existing
builcling to replace the storage space he would lose with
removal of the land/sea containers, as stipulated in his
original conclitional use permit. City staff has issued a
stop-work order on the construction of this building pending
the outcome of the conditional use permit amendment..
Mr. Sobota explained that Mr. Clemmer must submit a revised
site plan to include the construction of a continuous .paved
• driveway .access for all 25 parking spaces to be installed,
subject to staff approval, and the paving and parking areas
be installed by October 15, 1991. Mr. Clemmer has extended
the expiration date of the $15,000 letter of credit to
October 15, 1991.

Lakeville City Code. He explained that the City Council held
a work .session on July 8th to discuss the proposed
ordinances.
Councilmembers expressed some concern with allowing taxi-cabs
to operate in the City unlicensed. They also .felt it would
not be necessary for the City to perform vehicle inspections
on taxi cabs that have been previously inspected by another
city or by the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 5, 1991
PAGE 11
Councilmember Mulvihill. suggested the City of Lakeville only
license taxi cab operators who are not currently licensed by
another city or the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
The City Attorney. offered the following language amending; the
ordinance to read, "Section 1. If the taxicabs have passed a
licensing safety inspection in another city or by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission within the prior twelve (12)
months, they do not have to be re-inspected; Section 2. If an
operator has a taxicab license issued by another city or by
the Metropolitan Airports Commission, a license is not
required from the City of Lakeville."

concerning business and license regulations, including the
additional wording proposed by the City Attorney, as stated
above.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Ruhmann, Zaun,
Sindt, Mulvihill, Harvey.
Mayor Zaun presented a proposed ordinance which would require
. licensing businesses for trimming and removal of trees.
Councilmember Harvey asked whether a homeowner would be
allowed to trim and remove trees/shrubs without a license.
Mr. Erickson .explained that the ordinance would only require
the licensing of professional businesses. Such licensing
would enable the City to send a list of licensed tree
trimming and removal businesses to homeowners upon request.
91.161 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by .Ruhmann to adopt
Ordinance No. 439 amending Title 3 of the Lakeville City Code

someone else's container.
Councilmembers concurred with the :City .Attorney's
recommendation. that "writte.n" permission not be included. in
the orclinance prohibiting clisposal of garbage, rubbish, etc.,
• without the permission of the property owner or tenant.

Councilmembers discussed the proposed ordinance. prohibiting a
person from blocking access to a driveway. or .mailbox with. a
motor vehicle, trailer, boat, snowmobile or seasonal ,vehicle
and .the parking and storage of off-road racing and demolition
derby motor vehicles on private property. Removal of the
time frame for blocking access to a driveway or .mailbox was
recommended. Councilmembers also questioned the definition
of "motor vehicle" and. stated the proposed ordinance didn't
appear to reflect the recommendations made by staff.
92.165 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to table .the
proposed ordinance amending Title 6 of the Lakeville City
Code concerning motor vehicles and traffic to allow the City
Attorney to clarify language in the ordinance to .reflect the

Roll call was taken on .the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt,
Mulvihill, Harvey, Ruhmann.
Mr. Erickson presented a proposed ordinance which was
prepared in response to a resident concern relating to the
responsibility of a property owner for repairs to water,
sanitary sewer or storm sewer. lines. In the proposed
ordinance, a property owner is liable for repairs. to lines
that run from the premises to the property line, including
the curb stop box. The property owner would not be
responsible for repairs in the street right-of-way.
.91.167. Motion was made by Ruhmann, seconded by Mulvihill to adopt

concerning public ways and property (repairs to water,
sanitary or storm sewer lines) .
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Si.ndt, Mulvihill,
Harvey, Ruhmann, Zaun.
Mr. Erickson explained that staff made the erroneous
assumption that Dakota Electric Association was enforcing the
City's ordinance concerning underground utilities. Although
they were enforcing the ordinance in new development, they
were not burying replacement service lines in areas where
overhead lines currently exist. Mr. Erickson explained the
City's.. long range goal of converting overhead power lines
underground throughout the .community, with the .exception of
the rural service area. Discussion followed indicating that
underground power lines are safer and .more aesthetically
pleasing than overhead lines.
91.168 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Si.ndt to adopt
Ordinance No. 445 amendling Title 7 of the Lakeville City Code
concerning underground utilities.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Mulvihill, Harvey,
Ruhmann, Zaun, Sindt.
UNFIlJISHED BUSINESS None.
NEW BUSINESS Councilmember Harvey stated he was informed
that the Metropolitan Airports Commission is proposing to

does not require local approval. He stated, however,. that
MAC has indicated they would notify the City when a specific
site is chosen before land spreading the soil. Mr. Erickson
stated he would keep the Council updated.
