ITEM 8
Mayor Zaun opened the public hearing on the proposed
modification of the tax increment financing districts° .located
within the. redevelopment projects and the proposed approval
and adoption of modified redevelopment plans and tax
increment financing. plans relating thereto.
"The City Clerk attested to legal notice publication.
Dennis Feller presented the modified redevelopment and tax
increment financing plans by providing background on the
districts. The Despatch Industries TIF District, located
south of 207th Street and west of Howland Avenue, was created
in 1980 when the City sold the property to Despatch
Industries for their plant ..expansion. The increment from the-
Despatch project was ..used to construct Fire ..Station- No. 1.
The Airlake/Toro TIF District was created in 1984 and
provided assistance to the developer in the form of a land.
cost write-down.
Mr. Feller explained that the master storm. sewer plan. clearly
indicates. that there exists a major storm sewer problem in
the downtown area.. Evidence of this can be seen in the
flooding. which occurs to area businesses during a heavy rain,
. which does not have to be a major storm. The excess
increment from the. two TIF. districts could be combined to
help finance the proposed downtown storm sewer project.
Mr. Feller further explained that the improvement project. is
consistent with the 1979 storm drainage .plan, Phase II, which
is adopted by reference in the Comprehensive Plan update' of
March `1988.. The TIF .modifications ..were presented to the
Planning Commission and found to be consistent with he
Comprehensive Plan.
In closing, Mr. Feller stated that approval of these plans
would make: the downtown project financially feasible, as the
Tax Increment Financing from the combination of the Downtown
and Toro Tax Increment Districts will `provide an. anticipated
$600,000 of assistance to a $2.7 million project. fihe
.benefited .property owners in the project area wily also be
required to provide some financial assistance at a later
date.
Bob Erickson stated that there is a direct relationship
.between the runoff from .the Despatch building, having a large
surface roof area, and the storm. sewer problems downtown. It
is imperative to the .renovation of the central business
district that proper size storm sewer_ ,pipes be installed to
accommodate projects such as the Wi.nsor Plaza. He stated it
•
CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
_ APRIL 2, 1990
PAGE 6
is also appropriate to use the excess increment from Toro
.because of its large surface roof area. Runoff from that
site drains into the same watershed as downtown. He further
stated that the Environmental Protection Agency is
promulgating rules which would require the lead water
services in the downtown area to be replaced; this activity
could be coordinated with the storm sewer project.
Mr. Ed Mako asked if the boundaries of the two districts are
being modified (combined). Walt Hartman explained that only
the budgets from the two districts are being combined, with
no expansion or modification to the TIF districts or project
areas. Mr. Mako also asked if this proposed project would
affect the area residential zoning, who will pay for street
repairs and whether the property owners will be taxed for
receiving the benefits of this. proposed project.
Mr. Erickson explained that no consideration is being given
to change area land use, and that a feasibility .report would
.identify the most cost effective manner to install the storm
drainage system.
Keith Nelson added that all downtown streets .will be surveyed
during preparation of the feasibility report. Based on other
projects. that have been constructed downtown, engineering
expects to find that existing .blacktop has been constructed
on top soil, which caused the streets to break up. He
explained that the streets are .flat, with little gradient;
and one way to get water into a catch basin is through curb
and gutter. He went on to explain that current policy for
storm sewer, streets and curb & gutter improvements is to
assess the costs to the benefited properties. -The City is
hoping, however, to finance some of the storm sewer costs.
without direct assessments.
90.82 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to receive a
letter dated March 27, 1990, from Leo A. Ruberto,
Superintendent of School District No. 192 regarding their
opposition to the use of excess proceeds from the Toro TIF
District, (letter on file in City Clerk's office).
Roll call was taken on the. motion. Ayes,: Ruhmann, Zaun,
Sindt, Mulvihill, Harvey.
90.83 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to .close .the
public hearing.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt,
..Mulvihill., Harvey, Ruhmann.

.90.84 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to approve
Resolution No. 90-33 approving a modification to the Downtown
and Airlake Redevelopment Projects, and modification of Tax
Increment Financing Districts located within the
Redevelopment Projects and the proposed approval and adoption
of Modified Redevelopment Plans and Tax Increment Financing
Plans relating thereto.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Mulvihill,
Harvey, Ruhmann, Zaun.
ITEM 9
Daryl Morey outlined the request of Mr. Tim Meyer for a
conditional use permit to remodel and expand his existing,
non-conforming single family house located at the.. corner of
..199th Street and Jasmine Avenue in Antlers Parka He
explained that Antlers Park was subdivided in 1909, and the
Meyer house was built in 1917. The lot size and house
setbacks are .legal, non-conforming in status, even though
they do not meet current zoning ordinance requirements
Mr. Morey went on to explain that the zoning .ordinance allows
non-conforming single family dwellings to expand to improve
livability by conditional use permit, provided the
non-conformity of the structure is not increased and the
provisions of the zoning ordinance regulating conditional use
permits are met The Planning Commission and staff have
determined that Mr. Meyer's house .remodeling and expansion
will improve livability and will not. increase the
non-conformity of the structure.
90.85 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Ruhmann to receive the
Planning Commission's. findings of fact and approve the
conditional use permit for Tim Meyer to expand a
non-conforming, single family residential dwelling unit to
.improve its livability on Lot 7, Block 21, Antlers Park.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Mulvihill,. Harvey,
Ruhmann, Zaun, Sndt.
ITEM 10
Daryl Morey provided a background on the request of Felix
Tinges to rezone his property on Lots 2, 3 and 4, Block 2,
Viking Square, from R-B, Residential-Business Transition
District to B-1, Limited Neighborhood Business District. He
explained that Mr. Tinges has potential businesses for two
of the three R-B zoned lots at the corner of Dodd Boulevard
and Icenic Trail. These potential uses include a dance
.studio and a beautyparlor..
CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
_ APRIL 2, 1990
PAGE 8
Mr. Morey explained: that Mr. Tinges is requesting the
property be rezoned to the lowest intensity business zoning
classification (B-i) that will allow the potential
developments to occur, in an effort to minimize the impact of
commercial development on the adjacent townhouse development,
while remaining compatible with surrounding commercial
.property. He indicated that the Planning Commission and
staff recommend approval of the rezoning request.
Mayor Zaun asked what section of the zoning ordinance. would
allow a dance studio by conditional use permit. Mr. Morey
explained. that an ordinance was adopted in May of 1989 that
amended Sections 35.4, 36.4 and 37.4 of the zoning ordinance
to allow community pre-school, latch-key -and adult education
facilities as a conditional use in the B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4 and
CBD-C zoning districts.
90.86 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to adopt
Ordinance No. 408 rezoning Lots 2, 3 and 4, Block 2, Viking
Square, from R-B, Residential-Business Transition District,
to B-1, Limited Neighborhood Business District.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Ruhmann,
Zaun, Sindt, Mulvihill.
ITEM 13
Assistant Fire Chief Dan Barth -presented the two bids
received on March 16th for a squad. body on the Department's
1990 International chassis. .Bids were received from Custom
Fire Apparatus ($73,840) and Road Rescue ($79,243). The 1990
budget allowed. $90,000 for this project. The International
chassis ordered earlier this year cost $35,183, which left
$54,817 for the squad body.
Mr. Barth explained that the original concept for this
vehicle, back in 1987, was to place the .rescue body on a
medium duty chassis. The Fire Department Truck Committee
later found that most departments were placing similarly
designed vehicles on .heavy duty chassis. The departments
that used the medium duty chassis for the amount. of equipment
equivalent to what Lakeville uses found the vehicle was
either right at the gross vehicle weight or, in most cases,
over the gross vehicle weight when firefighters occupy the
unit. The Department was lead to believe that $30,000 could
buy ,the heavier chassis. Both. contractors have indicated,.
since the bid opening, that the cost of aluminum and
stainless steel has risen approximately- 6.5% over the past
two years.

_ APRIL 2, 1990
PAGE 9
The Fire Department officers and truck committee have decided
note to put the retro-fit conversion of the equipment truck
into a mobile air/light truck for the $20,000 that has been
budgeted and recommend the $20,000 be .diverted to the heavy
rescue truck. The retro-fit conversion would be' considered
for funding in 1992.
90.87 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to receive
the bids for a rescue truck squad body and award the contracts
to .Custom Fire Apparatus in the amount of $73,840.00, and
divert the $20,000 budgeted for the mobile. air/light truck to
the heavy rescue truck.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Ruhmann, Zaun,
Sindt, Mulvihill, Harvey.
ITEM 15
The City Administrator provided a historical perspective of
the 80 acre parcel of City owned land near the I-35 and
County Road 70 interchange in southern Lakeville. The City
purchased the property in 1985 from the St. Paul Companies
for $3,700 per acre. The City extended utility .services to
the property and constructed a water reservoir on the
southwest corner of the parcel, and utilized TIF from the
district to fund Well No. 7. The City envisions a fourth
fire station being. located on that site.
Mr. Erickson explained that the McStop Tax .Increment District
is known as the most misunderstood TIF District in the
state. The McStop District, which is an eight year economic
development district, did not .help finance the construction
of the McDonalds restaurant at that intersection. The
proceeds from the bonds that were sold were used to construct
the water reservoir, pumphouse and well to serve that area of
the city..
When the property was purchased in 1985 from the St. Paul
Companies, it was intended to be used for economic.
development. Fairfield Business Park, as it was called, was
marketed by Edina Realty for a year, with no serious.
proposals. The property is zoned I-1, Limited Industrial
District, R-2, Single Family Residential District and B-4,
General Business District.
Mr. Erickson went on to explain that after the staff received
a proposal from MJC Development to purchase the property for
$7,000 per acre, the Council was asked what process they
.would like to see followed. The Council authorized, at their.
March .26th work session, an appraisal be performed on the
property. The Metzen Appraisal showed an estimated value of
CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
_ APRIL 2, 1990
PAGE 10
. $.85 per square foot, including utilities. Based on 1989
improvement costs, Metzen estimated a cost of $15,000 per
acre, or about $.35 per square foot. The City Engineer's
estimated per acre cost for utilities exceeds Mr. Metzen's
estimated cost by $3,000 per acre.
Mr. Erickson pointed out that market conditions in that
quadrant have been weak. The two lane bridge structure. on
County Road 70 limits traffic .flow and impedes the economic
development and viability of the area. He stated that the
Minnesota Department of Transportation is planning to expand
the bridge to possibly six lanes. during .the 1994 construction
season. The City is trying to convince Mn/DOT to move it up
on their schedule. Mr. Erickson further stated that the
current "over built" office/business park conditions in the
.metropolitan area have also had an adverse impact on the
viability of the City's proposed Fairfield Business Park
project.
Mr. Erickson pointed out the values of the project ..being
proposed by MJC Development, Inc. (Meledandri, Jackson and
Cohen) which includes an outdoor center for the Performing
Arts and construction of a football field and indoor ice
arena. Some of the values would include increased commerce,
community identity, .needed amateur sports facilities and. park
• dedication fees of approximately $200,000.
Mr. Erickson pointed out that MJC Development is not asking
the City to consider tax increment financing on this project,
and stated he feels there should be no need for TIF given the
very fair price the City is considering selling the property
for.
Mr. Ben Meledandri, MJC Development, .stated their. offer of
$7,000 per acre is predicated on what the project budget can
.sustain, and the any price .above that would introduce an
element of risk as to whether or not the project can succeed
He stated that he feels since the City has had no previous
offers on the property, MJC's offer would provide a nice
profit to the City, as well as economic benefit to the
community by getting something the community wants, i.e. ice
arena and athletic field, without spending the tax payers'
money.
Counci].member Ruhmann provided the Council a .list of benefits
that would be, in his opinion, derived .from the project, i.e.
jobs, state sales tax, state corporate income tax,
city/school/county tax and the possibility: of city amusement
tax on ticket sales. Councilmember Ruhmann stated he feels
.that the key issue at this time should not be the cost of the
• land, but rather the use of the property.
` CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING

PAGE 11
i that tax
Councalmember Sandt remanded Mr. Meledandr
increment financing. would not be available for this project,
and that the County Road 70 bridge would have to be improved
for this project to be feasible at that location.
Councilmember Harvey raised concern over .noise and traffic
volumes, the need for additional police, and fire protection
and lack of information from the developer. He went on to
state that he would have to see a great deal more.
(development/planning) to justify the sale of this property
below fair market price.
Mayor Zaun agreed that it would be difficult for the Council
to endorse the option agreement at this time. without
additional. information that could be used to justify the
.figures presented.
Mr. Meledandri agreed that many issues need to be addressed,
to the City's satisfaction, before the project can be
approved. He explained that without an option on the land,
it would be very difficult for the developer to proceed with
the planning of this project. He stated that the developer
would be more technically qualified to address the Council's
concerns once MJC has the option on the eland and the
. developer can proceed.
Councilmember Mulvihill stated she was uncomfortable with Mr.
Meledandri's position that their offer is based on .what the
project would bear and, essentially, leaves no room for
compromise. She also. stated she felt uncomfortable with the
timeline, which indicates the City must make an immediate
decision on .the option. She pointed out that the City would
be setting a precedent for any future buyers if this project
does not materialize.
Mr. Meledandri stated, and Mr. Erickson agreed, that the
price of property typically comes down with. the increased
size of the parcel and distance from a major thoroughfare.
90.88 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Ruhmann to grant MJC
Development a one year option on 80 acres of city owned
property just east of the water tower near the I-35 and
County Road 70 interchange at $10,000 for $7,500 per acre,
with an additional $5,000 six month option,' if needed, and
the $10,000 being applied toward the purchase price.
Councilmember Harvey stated that he has no .problem with the
$10,000 price, .one year option or the six month extension,
but based on an undefined project, he cannot, and. will not,
support the sale of a city asset for fifty cents on the
dollar.
CITY. OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
AFRIL 2, 1990
PAGE 12
Councilmembers asked the City Attorney if the possibility
exists that once the sale of .the land is completed, and the
project fails to materialize, the land could be used for a
project other than what is before them at this time. Roger
Knutson indicated that once the sale is complete, .unless the
.City puts a reverter in the purchase agreement, the buyers
can do whatever they want with the land.
Councilmember Sindt amended her motion to include a reverter
in the purchase agreement that. if the .proposed project is not
built within a specified time period, the property reverts
back to the City's ownership. .She also added to her motion
that language be included in the agreement stating the City
will provide no tax increment financing for this project.
Councilmembers also considered adding language to the
agreement that would require the developer to pay. the City's
portion of the County Road 70 .bridge improvement. Mr.
Erickson suggested that language may be inappropriate and
discouraged the Council from adding this provision to the
agreement, giving MnDOT the opportunity to define the
financial responsibilities of the benefitting parties.
Councilmember Sindt agreed.
• Mayor Zaun suggested the council have the opportunity to
further review the option agreement, with the suggested
changes, .before endorsing it. He stated although he is
concerned about the $7,500 figure, he is willing to go along
with the motion but will not make any commitment to the
project whatsoever. He stated he will be as critical as he
has been in the past with similar projects and plans to
thoroughly analyze the economic, social and related .benefits
this project might offer to the City.
90.88 Councilmember Sindt amended her motion to direct the City
Attorney to prepare a resolution which would outline the
components of her motion, as stated above, and bring it back
to the City Council at the April 9, 1990, special meeting for
final consideration and approval of the option agreement.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt,
Mulvihill, Ruhmann. Nay, Harvey.
90.89 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to extend the
council meeting beyond the 10.30 adjournment time.

ITEM 16
Bob Erickson explained .that following the March 26th HRA
meeting, the City staff researched the reappointments of HRA
members, only to find that the terms of a71 five members had
expired. As a result, .the Council .needs to .appoint five
members to the Lakeville HRA at this time.
It was felt that since a precedent had been .set with Council
members serving as the HRA, current City Council members
would have the first option of being on the HRA. If a
council member chose not to serve, appointments would be open
to citizens at large. Once a .council member leaves the City
Council, that person would be required to resign. from the
HRA. A non council member would hold the HRA term for the
full five years, unless they resign voluntarily.
Councilmember Harvey asked why the terms run five years, and
Roger Knutson indicated it is a statutory requirement.
90.90 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Mulvihill to appoint
the current City Council. members to the Lakeville H.R.A.
Discussion followed; no action was taken on the motion.
90.91 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Ruhmann to authorize
the City. Attorney to prepare a resolution appointing the
current City Council members to the HRA, with terms of office
to coincide with the commissioner's term as a Council member,
and bring it back for council approval at a .subsequent
meeting.

OTHER BIISINESS
Councilmember Harvey pointed out that the City may want to
establish a policy on City personnel soliciting donations..
90.92 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to authorize the
Personnel Committee to prepare a policy on .the solicitation
of donations by City personnel and bring it back to the full
council for consideration and approval.
