5

CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1989
recommendations in the traffic study regarding traffic and transporta-
tion along Trunk Highway 50 near 175th Street and I-35 could be
discussed at a future work session of the City Council if they so
choose.
The mayor and council members concurred with Mr. Nelson's recommenda-
tion. Bob Erickson stated he had recently met with most of the
businesses in that area and shared the information of the Strgar,
Roscoe, Fausch report with them. He indicated they seemed quite
receptive to the long range transportation plans for the area and
would like to be an active part of the planning process. Mr. Erickson
recommended transmitting copies of this report to the area businesses
and residents.
89.465 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Nelson to receive the traffic
study for the proposed Kindercare Learning Center prepared by Strgar,
Roscoe, Fausch dated December 8, 1989.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun,
Enright.
Item 11.
Jim Robinette briefly outlined the conditional use permit request of
Kindercare Learning Centers for a daycare facility at the intersection
of 175th Street and Junelle Path. He stated the staff recommended
approval of the conditional use permit with the nine conditions as
listed. He also stated that the Planning Commission's findings of
fact have been transmitted to the Council for their review.
Mr. John Finnamore of Kindercare Learning Centers, stated he concurred
with the recommendations of the traffic report prepared by Strgar,
Roscoe, Fausch, at his firm's expense, and requested the council's
approval.
Mr. Lynn Peterson, owner of Mr. Sparkle Car Wash, objected to having
to dedicate a five foot drainage and utility easement around the
interior of the Mr. Sparkle Car Wash and Kindercare property lot
lines. Mr. Peterson was concerned that the easement agreement drafted
by the City Attorney will not pay restitution to the property owner
for the loss of trees and/or grass due to utility work being performed
in the easement area.
Mr. Erickson explained that an administrative subdivision had been
done on Mr. Peterson's property several years ago, and certain fees
were not required at that time. He explained that if the property
were platted normally, the easements would have been there. He
further stated that an easement of this type would most likely be
beneficial to the property owner.

Item 12.
Daryl Morey gave an overview of a request from McDonald's Corporation
for an amendment to the planned unit development to allow an addition
to their existing storage building at 21049 Kenrick Avenue. He stated
that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the 416 square
foot addition with four stipulations as follows:
1. Landscape plan be submitted for staff approval prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
2. Curb island where storage building is located shall have a six
inch perimeter concrete curb barrier around the entire island.
3. Exterior storage building addition materials shall match the
exterior building materials of the McDonald's Restaurant.
4. Storage building shall be used for storage of non-edible items.
Councilmember Sindt asked what types of items are proposed to be
stored in this building, and the applicant indicated paper products,
packaging, etc.
Councilmember Harvey asked why the requirement for non-edible items,
and staff explained that the State Health Department approval would be
required if edible items are being stored.
89.467 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to approve the applica-
tion of McDonald's Corporation for a planned unit development amend-
ment to allow a 416 square foot addition to their existing storage
building at 21049 Kenrick Avenue, with the four stipulations as
listed.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Enright,
Sindt, Harvey.
Item 14.

Snyder Drug, and Leonard Gephart, Gephart's Furniture, for a planned
unit development amendment to the Southfork Shopping Center. He

CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1989
Mr. Peterson and Mr. Gephart were present and explained their inten-
tions to rejuvenate this retail center with their ownership and
knowledge of the businesses and area. They indicated they are working
with an entrepreneur who is planning a "Berries" grocery store and
deli in the center. They indicated the sign stipulations as recom-
mended by the Planning Commission will be met, further indicating that
the two buildings will be promoted as one center.
89.468 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Nelson to approve an Amended
Planned Unit Development Conditional Use Permit agreement with Leonard
N. Gephart and D & T Property,. Inc. for Southfork Shopping Center
subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Consultant's report
dated December 4, 1989.

Item 16.

him, which included a letter and petition.
89.469 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Nelson to acknowledge receipt
of a petition dated December 13, 1989, from Ken and Linda Sidwell.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Harvey,
Nelson, Zaun.
Keith Nelson gave a background presentation on the Lynwood North
sidewalk issue, stating that the developer, Arcon Construction, had
decided not to install sidewalks along 170th Street, as recommended in
the Lynwood North development agreement, at the time of street
construction because of the potential damage they would experience
during construction. He went on to explain that the developer feels
the construction of sidewalk at this time would be difficult, taking
into account the 60 foot right-of-way and all the obstacles in the
remaining 10 foot boulevard; i.e. hydrants, light poles, telephone
pedestals, underground sprinklers, landscaped boulevards, sharp
grades, etc..
Mr. Nelson explained that an informational meeting was held on August
17, 1989, between the Lynwood North residents, Arcon Construction and
City staff. Most residents in attendance at that meeting stated they
were not in favor of the sidewalk installation because of the above
mentioned reasons. Because 170th Street is not designated a collector
road, the sidewalk is not a requirement.
Arcon Construction then made a proposal, which the City staff and
residents in attendance at the August 17th meeting accepted, to place
$19,400.00 in an escrow account with the City as a contribution to the
8
• ~ ~ •
CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1989
Lynwood North Homeowners's Association in lieu of sidewalk installa-
tion along 170th Street. At such time as the Homeowner's Association
is activated, the City would turn over the funds, including interest,
to the Association.
Staff then received a petition on September 28, 1989, from Lynwood
North residents who were in favor of sidewalk or some alternative on
170th Street in the Lynwood North Addition. These residents felt the
sidewalk was necessary for safety reasons, and did not accept Arcon
Construction's proposal to escrow the funds into the Homeowners
Association. Property owners representing both sides attended a
second neighborhood meeting on November 30th.
Councilmember Sindt asked the staff how many lots in Lynwood North
have been built on to date, and staff indicated 34 out of a total 160
lots have homes on them.
Councilmember Nelson asked who would be responsible for snow removal
on sidewalks in front of vacant lots, and staff indicated that since
170th Street is not a collector street, it is considered low priority
by the Street Department and would, therefore, be the responsibility
of the area homeowners.
The Council and staff discussed the possible alternative of an eight
foot painted shoulder along one side of the street to keep traffic
centered in the roadway. The staff recommended striping the north
side of 170th Street between Ipava and Jaguar Avenue and the east side
of Jaguar Avenue north of 170th Street. Keith Nelson stated the
striping may be temporary until future 167th Street is constructed, as
167th Street is a collector road and would be constructed with
sidewalks.
Councilmember Harvey stated he felt the developer should be required
to escrow the full amount rather than half the cost of sidewalk
construction.
Scott Johnson, Arcon Construction, stated he agreed to fund the
homeowners association but felt the sidewalks were an additional
requirement that would not normally be required in this type of
subdivision.
89.470 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to receive petitions
dated September 27th and September 25th from Lynwood North homeowners.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Harvey,
Nelson, Zaun.
Councilmember Nelson asked what the money in escrow would be used for
by the Homeowners Association, and residents in attendance stated they
would elect a Board of Directors and all homeowners would have a voice
as to what the money would be used for.

CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1989
Mr. Ken Sidwell spoke in favor of sidewalks, pointing out that the
safety of their children should be considered first and foremost,
while other residents pointed out that 170th Street is not the only
street in the city with no sidewalks and felt they would be better
served without them.
Robert Erickson pointed out that new homes are constantly being built,
with new residents joining the neighborhood. He felt the sidewalk was
ill conceived in the context of the existing grades. Tremendous grade
differentials with retaining walls and rails would be required to get
some sections of the sidewalk built at this time. He reminded the
residents in attendance that damage to their yards/landscaping at this
time could cause a reduction in their property values. He stated he
felt the sidewalk should have been completed prior to the issuance of
a certificate of occupancy for each home.
Mr. Erickson recommended one solution, that being a curb sidewalk on
the south side of the street, where few utilities are located. He
urged the Council to either direct the neighborhood to come back to
the Council with their needs and alternatives or make the decision on
the installation, in an effort to resolve the matter without further
division in the neighborhood.
Councilmember Enright proposed a motion to table the matter to allow
staff to study possible alternatives.
Bob Erickson suggested the following options could be further
considered and reviewed by the staff at the developer's expense.
1) Curb sidewalk.
2) Four to five foot sidewalk on one or both sides.
3) Safety improvements as outlined in petition dated 12/13/89.
4) Do nothing.
89.471 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Sindt to table the Lynwood
North sidewalk issue until the January 2, 1990 Council meeting and
authorize staff to study the four options as recommended by Mr.
Erickson.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Nelson, Zaun,
Enright. Nays, Harvey. Councilmember Harvey stated he feels the
problem should be dealt with immediately, and that this approach is
not a healthy and positive one to take.
Item 17.
Keith Nelson presented two forms of resolutions which would adjust the
City's storm sewer area charges for trunk storm drainage improvements
to reflect current construction costs. He indicated the staff
recommends an approximate 4.4% increase in rates for 1990. The first
form of resolution (Exhibit A) would reflect past and present policy.
The resolution recommended by staff (Exhibit B) would allow area
10
• ~ •
CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1989
assessments on developing property, including administrative subdivi-
sions, multiple dwellings, except duplexes, commercial, industrial and
institutionaal parcels of land. He pointed out that if the Council
chooses to approve this draft of the resolution, an ordinance amend-
ment to allow these changes in policy for assessment must first be
adopted.
Mayor Zaun suggested that if the Council wishes to adopt Exhibit B,
the resolution should be reviewed by the Economic Development
Commission, since it would have some impact on commercial/industrial
property.
89.47.2 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to direct the staff to
refer the storm sewer area charge resolution (Exhibit B) to the
Economic Development Commission and direct the City Attorney to
prepare the necessary ordinance amendment to be considered by the City
Council at the January 16th meeting.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun,
Enright, Sindt.
Item 18.
Elliott Knetsch informed the Council that the settlement agreement
wtih Consumers Realty & Development Company has been executed,
although no check has been received from Mr. Grohoski. Mr. Erickson
explained that Mr. Grohoski's attorney advised that no payment be made
to the City until after the agreement has been executed by the City.
He suggested the Council authorize Mayor Zaun to sign the agreement,
and upon receipt of a certified check from Mr. Grohoski, the City
Clerk will sign it.
89.473 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Harvey to approve a Settlement
Agreement with Consumers Realty & Development Company and authorize
the Mayor to execute the agreement; and contingent on receipt of a
cashier's check in the amount of $43,848.13 prior to 4:30 p.m. on
December 19, 1989, authorize .the City Clerk to execute it.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Enright,
Sindt, Harvey.
Item 19.
Bob Erickson presented a resolution which would accept the donation of
Outlot B, Donnay's Valley Park 5th Addition, from Speedy Markets, Inc.
(Schroeder Milk Company) to the City of Lakeville. He stated that the
site could possibly be used in the future for right-of-way or as a
well site. He expressed the City's appreciation for their willingness
to donate the land.

Item 20.
Mayor Zaun explained the Council's intent to keep the re-appointment
of members to advisory committees open to the public., as well as the
present committee members. All interested persons would be required
to apply and be interviewed by the Council.
89.47,5 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to receive letters (on
file in the City Clerk's office) from committee members who wish to be
re-appointed in 1990, and receive a proposal from Councilmember Sindt
which would provide for community wide representation on advisory
committees.
Roll call was taken on the notion. Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Harvey,
Nelson, Zaun.
Councilmember Sindt explained the purpose of her proposal is to
balance the representation on the advisory committees so that all
geographic areas (voting precincts) of the City are equally
represented on each coimmittee. She requested the Council consider
this proposal at a future work session.
Councilmember Sindt suggested the Economic Development Commission be
excluded from this proposal, since those members are required to have
qualifications of a specialized nature. She also suggested the Cable
TV Board be excluded from the proposal, as these members have been
appointed with their expertise considered, and recommended the school
representation be rotated to include the Farmington School District.
89.476 .Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to include
Councilmember Sindt's proposal as a future work session topic.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun,
Enright.

Bob Erickson explained that the Minnesota Valley Humane Society is
requesting financial assistance from Lakeville in the amount of
$11,354 for the construction of an animal shelter in Dakota County.
Mr. Erickson suggested the City respond to the Humane Society with the
position that Lakeville has experienced significant cut-backs in state
aids and is attempting to move away from contractual animal control
