OPEN MIKE
Mr. Michael Prieve, 1047 Aspen Lane, came forward and stated he was present two (2) weeks ago
and is requesting clarification on an issue. He inquired about the legality of the resubmission of the
application for Heritage Development. He indicated he has brought a written request for a legal
finding regarding this matter. He stated it appears this plan is continuing because it is going to be
considered at the next Planning and Zoning Board meeting. He stated he thought there was an
ordinance that stated an application could not be considered again for one year after it has been
denied.
City Planner Smyser advised there is no restriction on resubmitting a plat. There is a restriction
relating to rezoning or a conditional use permit. The restriction does not apply to plats.
Council Member Carlson noted the resubmitted application would not require a rezone or MUSA.
The Environmental Board will review the plan Wednesday night.
No one else was present for open mike.

Continuation of Public Hearing on Granting a Tax Abatement and Granting a Business
Subsidy; Resolution No. 01-106, Approving a Tax Abatement and Business Subsidy
Agreement with Target and Kohl's (Lino Lakes Marketplace Request for Tax Abatement (3/5
Vote Required); Consider Resolution No. 01-127, Approving a Business Subsidy to Target and
Kohl's, Al Rolek — Finance Director Rolek advised a public hearing was opened on July 23 and has
been continued regarding the request for tax abatement for the Marketplace project on 35W/Lake
Drive. According to the Minnesota Business Subsidy law, a public hearing must also be held before
granting a subsidy that exceeds $100,000. This public hearing is to take public comment on these
issues.
The Marketplace, which includes a Target Superstore, a Kohl's Department Store and additional
smaller retail and restaurant space, is estimated to be a $24 million project s . t will generate
substantial commercial tax base and provide needed services for Lino w. 'dents.
The project developers have requested financial assistance to . '' yet . d �hl's portion of the
project. The proposal before the City Council is as follow

The City will have the ability to recover the waived fees with tax abatement dollars.
The City has established criteria to evaluate the granting of a business subsidy. In addition to
increasing the tax base, a project receiving a subsidy should promote one or more of the following:
1. Compliance with Comprehensive or Other Plans.
2. Development of Marginal Property.
3. Upgraded Design and/or Other Amenities.
4. Utilization of Existing Infrastructure Investment.

Finance Director Rolek advised that due to financial information in the feasibility report, staff is
recommending the Council continue the public hearing to the September 10, 2001, City Council
meeting.
Council Member Carlson stated there are residents present who may wish to speak to this issue.
Mayor Bergeson stated the staff recommendation is to continue the public hearing. Comments can be
taken but residents need to understand the final subsidy request figures may change from what was
printed in the agenda and newspaper.
Mayor Bergeson opened the public hearing at 6:55 p.m.
Ms. Rochelle Miller, 7725 Maryland Drive, stated she has contacted several City Administrators in
local cities. All of them indicated they told Ryan Companies no when the equested a subsidy. The
City of Lakeville said they gave them no financial assistance, rather th ived a subsidy from

Minneapolis. The City "o r + do what is best for the community. The City is the one that has the
power, not Target.
Mr. Jeff Rutz, 6996 Second Avenue, stated Target and Ryan Companies should be commended
because of their success. However, everyone has to work on a budget. The proposal is trying to make
it look like it is not a lot of money and it is a lot of money. We have to ask if it is being spent in the
right way. He stated he moved here three (3) years ago for the lakes and green space. The City
should spend money on things that will benefit the City like the YMCA. Target would be great here,
but they should have to spend the money. The City has to help the community first.
Mr. Tom Smith, 874 Oak Lane, stated the road improvement hearing is on September 24th, but a vote
on the abatement is on September 10th. He stated that should not be done. He asked if the City is
setting a precedence and if other businesses would have the right to financial help if the abatement is
approved.

COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
Finance Director Rolek stated the figures from the road need to be evaluated to see if there will be any
changes in the numbers. A precedence would not be set if the abatement is approved. Each request
would be evaluated on its own merit.
The City Attorney added there is an abatement policy and the City can pick and choose who will
received a subsidy.
Ms. Kathryn Nelson, 7785 Carol Drive stated she has already expressed her concerns in writing. She
indicated she is opposed to the project. Residents can always shop at Target, they just have to drive a
bit. She stated she does not want the problems the project will bring or to pay them to come. She
stated there is no free enterprise if they are paid to develop here. The services within the City will
have to increase because of the project. She stated the Council has to make certain the City and
citizens don't have to pay and do the right thing by denying this project.
Ms. Nancie Klebba, 873 Oak Lane, stated community members were organized several years back for
a 20/20 Vision Plan and this project was not a part of that vision. She quot • from the 20/20 Vision
Plan that indicates the project goes against the Vision Plan. She read goals and plans that
were set forth by the City and Council on April 2, 2000. She state r ' seat the Council is not
listening to the voices in the community and why people choo h e eople did not move
here for shopping centers and the plan is not environment. l rie a noted what she
envisioned for the City when she moved here noting th' ®'e t is ` a part of that. The Council is
not listening if the project is approved. She askedg <, g e + cil is not listening to the plan that
was set forth six (6) years ago.
Ms. Amy Donlin came forward and rea•''a seri regarding what Lino Lakes residents have
dreamed of for the community th. `` +e e aspects. To pave over that would be a shame.
She read her statement from ., aring n January 9, 1997 noting it is appropriate for tonight.
She commented on the citi ~ e 20 Vision Plan, property tax increases, the Village and
Town Center, noting t prob r s the project would cause. She gave the background of the reasons
why the citizen survey . E 0/ ision Plan were done. She also quoted from the plan noting this
meeting has violated th ° . g ment that was laid out in the plan. There is no support in those
documents for the "big +x" type development. She stated she is on the Environmental Board and
from the beginning the developer indicated there would be no financial request and there was no
neighborhood opposition. She indicated she feels mislead by the developer and stated it will affect
her taxes. She requested information on tax increases relating to the entire project. She stated the
whole vision project is in jeopardy. She proposed that the Council not make an irreversible decision
tonight and to let the citizens vote on this plan.
Ms. Kelly Gunderson, 135 Ulmer Drive, referred to an article from City Business dated June 29,
2001, regarding business subsidies. She stated she is a resident of 18 months and has worked very
hard to afford her home here. She indicated she is concerned about the amount of time and amount of
the abatement. She stated it will drive people out of the City if anything goes wrong because they will
not be able to afford their home. She referred to the City of Chanhassen and what went wrong there
when TIF was used for a project. She stated that TIF is used for areas that need help in developing
and she believes there are other companies that will come to the City. The market should decide and
5
COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
the City should let Target go. The City won't have money for additional services that will be needed
if the plan is approved. The tax plan will be risky to the employees that work at the retail outlets. If
the taxes are raised they will not be able to afford to live here. It will be very hard to say no to other
businesses if the City says yes to this one. The City should welcome businesses and growth at their
expense. She stated she is glad there will be another meeting. She asked that the Council deny the
tax abatement because it will end up costing the City and residents.
Mr. John Johnson, 261 Elm Street, stated the property is currently bringing in some taxes. With the
abatement those taxes will be lost. He asked that the Council think about this some more and if an
abatement is given, it should be much less.
Mr. Don Dunn, 6885 Black Duck Drive, stated he is definitely for this project because it will be good
for the City and citizens. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the land as shopping center. The
property now only generates $21,000 in taxes. The land is vacant and does not generate revenue to
support City services and amenities such as parks. The City can't afford not to do this. If the
development does not come, what will there be to abate? Maybe the citize are confused because
this is not going after the taxpayer's money. It is simply deferring mo "° th ty would not have

without the City participation. He asked if any development w • a c 4 :le on that property.

County having the majority of it and apparently t Co has lowered that. This decision should
not be based on emotion but facts. The C. o a' ept that staff has done what they can. He

themselves. The City needs this and it should be approved.
Mr. Steve Baker, 7747 Carol Drive, stated he lives near the project and will be directly affected. He
expressed concern about losing the ambiance of the county. He stated if he wanted to live in
Shoreview he would have moved there. The developers are taking advantage of the City.
Ms. Cindy Cook, 7748 Carol Drive, stated she moved here six (6) years ago and she believes people
will leave the City if this project goes in. She stated she has a lot of wildlife in her backyard and does
not want to lose that. If Target wants to come here they should pay.
Mr. Mark Stone, 890 Oak Lane, stated the original plat showed a flat section and wetlands. It looks
as though now the wetland has been taken out. There has been a lot of miscommunication. He
COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
indicated he spoke to about 50 residents today who thought the project was done. All of those
residents indicated they are against this project.
Mr. Jim Ellwanger, 1007 Oak Lane, stated he is confused as to why the City needs another shopping
center because there is one 3-4 miles away. He indicated he can not believe there have not been any
other offers for this land. A Super Target is non-union and the City of Roseville is the only place
Target got this much money. He asked why the City would want a business here that pays
substandard wages. Low-income wages do not make sense. Traffic and road costs are a big issue. A
major insurance company would be a good business in the City. Another shopping center is not
needed. Something is needed but not a Target.
A resident at 963 Oak Lane stated she moved here two (2) years ago for the rural aspect of the area.
She stated she wants her children to have quiet and wildlife. The noise is a big concern and she does
not want this project in her backyard. Everyone here this evening is against the project. Something
much smaller should be put in there. She stated the Council should listen to the residents.
Mr. Mel Liljedahl, 726 Vicky Lane, stated he does not have a problem

the community, not havflthe community fit into the development. The Council needs to look at what
the community needs and what this decision will do to the community, residents and other business
owners. Now is the time for the City to act. The developer needs to be understanding about the
problems that the site has. Successful communities and businesses need to have the courage to
understand everyone's needs and to say no. The Council needs to say no to this project. The
developer needs to figure out how to be a good neighbor. The City needs to have faith that others will
come. The developer,s needs don't meet the needs of the community's and they need to change the
plans to fit the community's. The Council should say no and send them back to the drawing table.
The Council needs to ask if this is premature and make a good decision.
Ms. Joan Ahrens, Real Estate Manager for Target, came forward and stated she handles new store
developement. She indicated she will be happy to answer any questions about other subsidies for
Target. Target wants to come to this community and city staff has done a great job. Target wants to
be a partner with the City. She stated Target has a long history of community involvement noting the
7
COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
programs Target is involved in. She stated that they do not have tax abatement in Lakeville and an
$800,000 payment was made from the developer. That project was much larger and the payment was
for roadway improvements in the area. The City is contributing a couple of million dollars to the road
project. It is typical for Target to get a subsidy for infrastructure costs because the improvements
benefit the whole community.
Council Member Carlson commented on the Comprehensive Plan and the site being zoned
commercial. She stated it was commercial in the draft plan and staff recommended it be changed to
mixed use that includes housing. She stated she was told there would be no subsidy. She referred to
the minutes of a past Council work session regarding that issue. She stated a letter regarding financial
assistance was received three (3) weeks after that meeting. The City possibly should have looked at
other developers at that point. She stated she is concerned about the length of time of the abatement.
She distributed and reviewed an information sheet regarding the Proposed Tax Levy Lino Lakes
Homes/Target and Kohl's. She noted she has to look at the whole picture. She stated her concern is
that if the City does not follow the Comprehensive Plan and keeps building ahead, taxes will never go
down. She stated she does want Target/Kohl's but the number of years for a abatement has to be
reduced.

Mr. Robert Bening, 6780 East Shadow Lake Drive, came forward and asked if the trail will have the
same regulations as other City trails pertaining to such issues as motorized traffic.
Mayor Bergeson advised he believes the trail will be the same as all other City trails.
The City Attorney advised there is no allowable motorized traffic. The Homeowner's association has
access along with one other property owner relating to motorized traffic.

Grochala advised the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 16 — 01 on August 13,
2001. The developer has revised the development plans to incorporate changes required as part of the
preliminary plat/development plan approval. The revised plans have been included in Ordinance 16 —
01. Additionally, the site plan was revised to replace the two(2)proposed fast food restaurants with
one larger restaurant pad. As stated in the proposed ordinance, the convenience store, restaurant and
bank sites will be subject to the site plan approval process requiring additional staff review, Planning
and Zoning Board review and City Council approval.

Council Member O'Donnell stated there has been a lot of input this evening. Someone said that it
takes a lot of courage to say no but it will take a lot more courage to say yes to the project. He stated
he has been supportive of this project from the beginning. A decision needs to be made so the PDO
can move forward. He indicated his decision will heavily weigh on the final abatement figures. He
stated his concern with the plat is the access at 77th Street. He asked if there is anything that can be
done to eliminate the right in/right out access for citizens.
Community Development Director Grochala stated there are long-term options for 77th Street that are
not available at this time. On the east side the only alternative is to extend the driveway to 77th Street.
That will cause some problems but staff believes they can be resolved. On the west side the closest
street is 79th and there are no other options. The right in/right out is the only option at this time.

COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
Council Member Reinert stated to access of the property is troublesome. The median is the biggest
problem. A citizen recommended that the proposed second access become the right in/right out and
have a light at 77th Street.
Mr. Dick Brooks, Ryan Companies, came forward and stated they have had many, many meetings
with staff to get to this point. The two (2) major issues from the beginning were the need for financial
assistance and the second access. The County moved the second access, which is acceptable to both
the users. The access is needed where it is and it has to be full access.
Mayor Bergeson stated the recommendation from staff is to approve the second reading.
Council Member Reinert moved to approve the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 16 — 01, as
presented. Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion.
Mr. Brooks stated the developer does deserve a vote tonight to know where we are. This project has
been worked on for over a year. There is a good landscaping plan and it in • Ives the two (2) top
retailers in the country. If the PDO is not approved the project will be w d the costs will
continue to go up.
Council Member Carlson stated it concerns her that we don' o gi lie we are and if things will be
added on later. She stated she had concerns two (2) wee _ :; and ted this item tabled. There
are still unresolved issues and no development a t. ndicated a vote should not be taken

JADT property. She . • ded s ishe the road issue was the only issue and indicated she does not
have enough informati + ..p_ e the project now.
Mayor Bergeson stated is in favor of the motion. The motion is for the preliminary plat, not the
subsidy. The plat describes where the businesses will be placed. He stated he believes it is a good
project and is not taking money out of the taxpayer's pockets. The plan will put money into the
taxpayer's pockets. All the other businesses that go in because of the Target/Kohl's project will pay
taxes immediately. Those businesses will not go in without Target there, just like the JADT property.
He stated it is an ideal project for the City of Lino Lakes with the best possible retailers. Some
residents don't want anything there and that is understandable. Delaying the project will put it in
jeopardy. Every Council Member voted in favor of the first reading. He stated it is odd that Council
Member Carlson says she is in favor of the project but lists ten reasons not to vote in favor of it. This
motion is not the subsidy approval, only the design of the plan. It is time to vote. This approval does
not commit the City to a subsidy. The PDO should be approved.

COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
Council Member O'Donnell asked if all options for 77th Street will be closed if the PDO is approved.
Community Development Director Grochala stated the only option for 77th Street is the driveway.
Staff can continue to look at options but the reality is there are no alternatives.
Council Member O'Donnell asked if the City has closed the door to any other options if the PDO is
approved. Community Development Director Grochala stated the door is always open. However, the
improvements will start to go in. Any major changes are difficult after the development agreement is
finalized. The development agreement should be finalized at the next meeting.
Council Member Carlson stated she is concerned about the roads and the JADT agreement, as well as
the subsidy agreement and public improvements.
Mayor Bergeson stated he does not believe an agreement with JADT is needed to proceed. The City
was ordered by the court to put the road in. Approval of the PDO will not affect that.
Council Member Carlson stated her concern is that the plat shows the roads Community
Development Director Grochala stated the plat does not include the po n • " ° pollo Drive extending

Council Member Carls • ` stated the previous Council did proceed with eminent domain. She stated
they are looking at a map showing two (2) sections of road that the City does not own.
Council Member Reinert stated the approval is contingent upon the sale of the two (2) properties.
Community Development Director Grochala added that will be executed in the development
agreement. Final plat approval will still be needed.
Council Member Reinert asked what would happen if Ryan does not acquire that piece of property.
Economic Development Director Wessel advised the right-of-way will be dedicated to the City. The
City will purchase the property, which was ordered by the court.
The City Attorney reviewed the background of the property in question. He stated the City will
acquire the two (2) parcels.

Mayor Bergeson stated the road will go in. The City will own the severed parcel. There is an
informal agreement to sell it to Ryan Companies. He indicated he believes that sale will happen and
this is not an issue.
Council Member Dahl questioned the reason the right-of-way needs to be dedicated. Community
Development Director Grochala stated when property is developed, typically the right-of-way is
dedicated. The City would still need to purchase some of it.
Council Member Dahl stated she has wanted Target for a long time but she has always asked about
the subsidy. She indicated she realizes a lot of time has been put into this project. But it is a major
project and it needs to be done right. She stated she believes this is a package deal and every motion
is contingent upon another. She indicated that in order to vote for this, she has to have all the parts
and she does not have that now. She stated she had asked that the residents and business owners on
77th Street be involved in finding a solution. She stated that if she votes yes she is not listening and
she can't do that. Everyone needs to give a little to get this done. The road ituation on 77th Street is
still up in the air. The Council just received the feasibility study toni: n + ded she wants this to
happen but there are still issues that have to be worked out.
Mayor Bergeson stated he does not understand the comme t bo' or, ng it out. The City and
develper have been working things out for months. Ev • cil } : " ber voted yes at the last
meeting and nothing has changed except to tighte . �° ® up. ch individual is either for the project

The City is on the brink of losing this will sit there for many years. The City has
not had a proposal for that land fo t s. It is time to move forward and support the plan.

Community Development Director Grochala stated staff was anticipating final plat approval in
October and the permits would have been issued by then.
Council Member Carlson stated she did vote yes two (2) weeks ago with the intent that these issues
would have been resolved.
Mayor Bergeson stated the items listed by Council Member Carlson don't make any difference. He
stated he believes Council Member Carlson just lost the Target project. The City will be required to
buy a severed parcel with no agreement and all of the taxpayers will have to pay for that. McDonalds
may be built but it is likely that the other businesses won't. City taxpayers will be paying for a
useless parcel.
Council Member Carlson stated that is not because of Target.
Mayor Bergeson stated the City had an agreement with Ryan to bu e d he believes they

[Amendment to August 27, 2001 Meeti � r � -�,� - . - : -text reflects language which was
Ill
rendered moot by the subsequent ac + o the newly adopted and applicable provisions of
M.S.A. § 462.357. Underlined to a,. is age which was inserted by later Council amendment
to the minutes for the purpos - >c ying t e legal disposition of this item. The original text has
been preserved as a recordscussion which took place. The underlined language
represents the official word . a e disposition of Lino Lakes City Ordinance No. 16-01.
Although the minutes • ' a X'"' e and accurate representation of the discussion that took place on
August 27, 2001, the discussion which took place was premised on the erroneous conclusion that a
supermajority (4/5) vote was needed on this item. Because of legislative changes which became
effective in August of 2001, a majority (3/5) vote was actually needed. The minutes of the
subsequent Council work session on September 5, 2001 and Council meeting on September 10, 2001
further explain this action. When the legislative change was identified, the passage of this item
occurred as a default and the item was not formally reconsidered.
Mayor Bergeson excused himself from the meeting at 9:50 p.m.
Consider Resolution No. 01-119, Regarding Volker/Crenshaw Minor Subdivision and
Variance (3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser — City Planner Smyser advised Mr. Volker has
submitted an application for a minor subdivision to split off the eastern portion of the property at
7080 Sunset Road. The property is owned by the current resident, Jon Crenshaw. Mr. Volker's intent
14
•
COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
is to create a new single family lot. A variance would be required because the proposed new lot does
not comply with the minimum depth of 135 feet.
City Planner Smyser presented the staff analysis of the application noting the Planning and Zoning
Board considered the application on August 8, 2001. A motion to approve the variance and minor
subdivision failed 3-4. A subsequent motion to deny both actions failed for lack of a second. Staff is
also recommending denial on the variance based on lack of justification as described in the staff
report, and denial of the minor subdivision because the lot doesn't meet the minimum lot depth.
Council Member O'Donnell asked if it is possible for the applicant to buy another 10' to make the lot
conform. City Planner Smyser stated he did not discuss that option with the applicant.
Mr. Joe Volker, 7273 Stage Coach Trail, came forward and gave the history of the property in
question. He stated he widened the property to conform with the spirit of the ordinance and he
believes this has been done in the past. He stated he is not interested in developing but is doing this
as a courtesy. He indicated he plans to put a modest size home on that pro •ma y to maintain the spirit
of the ordinance.
Council Member Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 01 p e d. Council Member
Carlson seconded the motion.
Council Member O'Donnell stated he likes to see v. est out as much as possible. He
indicated his primary reason for denial is the util des c. ng from Blaine.

plan of the plat on January 10, 2001. The Planning and Zoning Board first
reviewed the preliminary plat on February 13, 2001 and the item was tabled pending the TWAFAA,
tree preservation plan and grading submittals. The additional information was provided and the
Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the application on June 13, 2001. The Board recommended that
the project be denied because of concerns related to access and safety issues; no neighborhood
consistency and driveways located on the cul-de-sac.
Mayor Bergeson returned to the meeting at 10:02 p.m.
Mr. Kermus presented the staff analysis of the preliminary plat and indicated staff is recommending
approval based on conditions.
Council Member Carlson stated some of the Planning and Zoning Board Members requested changes
to the plat and asked that .it be brought back. She asked why that was not done.
15
COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001
City Planner Smyser stated the Planning and Zoning Board did recommend denial. However, the
applicant does have the right to bring the application to Council. Options were discussed with the
developer and he chose to make some changes and present it to the City Council.
Council Member Carlson stated the Planning and Zoning Board would have liked to work with the
developer to solve some of their issues. Now there is a plat with only one change to it. She stated she
is concerned about doing this in the future and overriding the Planning and Zoning Board.
City Planner Smyser stated that is the chance the developer takes. The Planning and Zoning Board
denied the application outright. The developer has the option to bring it to the Council.
Council Member Carlson stated she understood that the developer was given the option to come back
to the Planning and Zoning Board. The developer chose not to do that.
Mayor Bergeson stated when this was reviewed by the Planning and Zonin d Board, one part did not
conform to the ordinance. He asked if that has been corrected. City P n� ' yser advised that was
corrected because one lot was changed.
Mayor Bergeson stated that even though the Planning and commended denial, the
plat as presented complies with the ordinance and zonin dic. r� he is not sure that there is a
basis for denial. The Council can request changes
Council Member Carlson stated she does .th ' ' is F. legal plat. The Planning and Zoning Board •
did raise safety issues. She suggested t 1 ' _ Conditions of approval be added:

Acting Mayor Dahl asked if the plat has changed in any way since the Planning and Zoning Board
reviewed it. City Planner Smyser stated originally there was a variance for Lot 8 and that has been
eliminated. On Lot 2 the driveway was designed to go to Holly Drive and that has been changed.
There have been adjustments to the boundaries to meet the lot depth minimum.
Mr. Kermus referred to a grading plan noting the changes that have been made to the plat.
Acting Mayor Dahl stated there were three (3) accesses on Holly and one on 12th Avenue. Now there
are two (2) on Holly and one on 12th Avenue. She stated she thought it was proper to go back to the
Planning and Zoning Board since they have not seen the changes.
City Planner Smyser reviewed the City policy for applications. He stated the plat has not changed.
Minor changes are very typical between review of the Planning and Zoning Board and Council. The
project has been revised to meet some of the Planning and Zoning Board concerns.

Acting Mayor Dahl read the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Board regarding their denial.
Council Member Carlson asked the Council if her two (2) added conditions are acceptable.
Mr. Jeff Elliot, developer, asked for clarification on the condition relating to the grading.
Council Member Carlson repeated the condition noting it does refer to another project.
Mr. Elliot stated it is a fair condition and indicated he is agreeable to both conditions.
Council Member O'Donnell moved to adopt Resolution No. 01 - 120, based on the conditions in the
staff report and the following additional conditions:

Classification of Anoka County Tax Forfeiture Property (3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser —
City Planner Smyser advised Anoka County has notified the City that a parcel of property in Lino
Lakes has been forfeited to the State of Minnesota because of delinquent taxes. If the parcel is not
repurchased within six (6) months, the City can choose to obtain title to it for public use. Otherwise
the parcel will be sold at a County auction.
This parcel is .77 acres on Lake Drive, just south of James Street. Staff has not identified any specific
need for this property for public use. Since it has future potential for commercial development, staff
is recommending that the City Council find that this parcel is not needed for a public use so that it can
remain on the tax rolls, and approve the classification and sale of this property.

Ms. Gail Monson, 707 62"a Street, asked if the barrier at West Shadow Pond will at least stay up until
the feasibility study is completed or until the spring.
City Engineer Powell advised he is unsure about the development schedule. The feasibility study will
not be ready until later this year. One of the conditions of approval was to reconstruct 62nd Street as
soon as feasible. A trail also must be constructed and that relates to scheduling issues also.

as is possible will be utilized from the previous study.
Council Member Reinert stated the project may not be done for three (3) years. He asked how long
the study will be viable. City Engineer Powell stated one question that must be answered is how long
before the project can be done. Costs are needed to determine that. The technical information will be
good for three (3) years unless there are substantial changes.

City Engineer Powell added the Boeckman's are having difficulty with the relocation of their well.
He referred to a map of the property and stated they are working with staff on this issue. Staff has
been reviewing the options. He added that this project will not solve water problems in basements.
The City Attorney has received a letter from Mr. Holte's attorney requesting that the City not award
the contract for this project. However, the City does not need access to his property for the project.
The City Attorney advised the City does have the authority to work within the easement.
Council Member Dahl asked if the pond is eliminated, will the pumped water create another pond.
City Engineer Powell advised the project proposed will eliminate all water in the pond. The ditches

impact neighboring properties.
Council Member Dahl asked if this will help the water problem. City Engineer Powell stated the
project will help the water problem but the only way to solve the problem completely is to raise the
house 3-4 feet.
Council Member Carlson asked if the City needs access to the property to reach the easement. City
Engineer Powell advised the easement is accessible.
