PRESENTATIONS: Presentation: Park Fee Study (Greg ingraham) INGRAHAM: Reviewed the process, purpose and projections of the Park Fee Study, including 11 new parks and one new athletic facility to meet the growth of the community, as well as new trail systems, and the costs for developing those parks and trails. Further discussed the factors in determining the recommended fees and recommended a residential fee per dwelling unit of $1685 and $3550 per acre fee for new commercial/industrial development, and to eliminate the park support fee. Also advised 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (952) 447-4230 / Fax (952) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER City Council Meeting Minutes February 5, 2001 that this recommendation does not provide funds for park capital replacement and maintenance. Advised that they have provided the staff a spreadsheet that would help them review the fees on an annual basis with respect to land value. MADER: Asked if the park dedication fee was applied to both residential and commercial property, and clarified how each calculation is determined. Asked how past practice with respect to the fee compares to the recommended fee and what the percentage increase is on the fee. INGRAHAM: Confirmed that the park dedication fee was applied to both residential and commercial property. Explained that the recommended fee calculations are slightly higher across the board, but it difficult to identify comparatively with past practice because it would depend upon the particular development. The intent is that the fees be acquired from the potential users (£e. residential developments) based on proportional use. MADER: Asked if for commercial property them were fees additional to the park dedication fee. KANSIER: Explained that in a new development land and/or fees in lieu of 10% are charged and at the time the building permit is issued there is a park support fee collected based upon the number of SAC units. MADER: Asked if the charge on SAC units is completely eliminated with this recommendation, and if the study considered the effects of eliminating that portion of the fee. INGRAHAM: Advised that the SAC charge would be eliminated and is not necessarily proportional to demand on the park system. For example, them could be a high water usage as far as commercial property, and still have only a few number of employees. Advised that the new and old proposals are similar with respect to commercial/industrial and further discussed specific comparisons with surrounding communities. PUBLIC HEARINGS: NONE.

KANSIER: Discussed the project in connection with the staff report and the conditions subject to approval including parking, easement for common driveway, irrigation and surface water plans, outdoor storage on site, and public address system. MADER: Asked if the developer is in agreement with the conditions. KANSlER: Confirmed that the only issue is the number of parking spaces on the developer's present plan, but that there is room on the site for the minimum number of spaces required by the ordinance. ERICSON: Asked how close the residential units are to the car wash, and has the City any ability to regulate the noise impacts. KANSIER: Explained that the closest residences are in the Maple Hills subdivision at a little less than a quarter of a mile and should be adequately buffered by landscaping. Advised that noise impacts are generally regulated under MPCA guidelines and suggested a condition limiting hours of operation of the car wash if there was a concern regarding its noise impact on the residential neighborhoods. ERICSON: Agreed with limiting hours of operation and suggested looking at researching an ordinance that would impose such restrictions on all similar operations. 3 City Council Meeting Minutes February 5, 2001 ZIESKA: Commented that in a car wash, it helps to keep the doors closed to control the noise impacts, but that operators tend to keep the doors open during the day to control moisture and mildew inside the bay. VICTOR SAPP (Holiday Companies): Advised that due to the location, there is already significant natural noise impacts from County Road 42. MADER: Asked if this conditional use permit in renewed annually. KANSlER: Not in this case. MADER: Asked if it would be acceptable to add a condition that requires a sound decibel level standard has to be agreed to between the company, the City and the MPCA. RYE: Advised that the City is not in a position to impose stricter noise restrictions than the MPCA and suggested that the condition may be to comply with state standard. ERICSON: Supported a limit of hours of operation with respect to the car wash if that is the only way to keep the neighborhood from being disrupted. MADER: Suggested deferring the item so that the staff and company could work out an acceptable agreement. SAPP: Suggested rather than deferring the item, adding a condition that the doors be closed during the operation of the car wash after 10pm. Holiday Companies would be responsible for any design adjustments for the car wash.

GUNDLACH: Asked about the issues with the shared driveway and the possibility of a pipe under the driveway. KANSlER: Advised that the City would not issue a building permit until the easement has been acquired. Also noted that the other possible obstruction for the driveway was a hydrant or utility box and that the Developer would be responsible for moving it. SAPP: Clarified that there is a utility at the shared easement area, and at the other access there is a small culvert that makes it necessary to shift the access, but that those drawings have been submitted. ZIESKA: Asked about the evergreen trees along the eastern boundary. SAPP: Advised that the trees proposed were faster growing than evergreen and would provide better screening. 4 City Council Meeting Minutes February 5, 2001 VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Ericson and Zieska, the motion carried.
