City Council Meeting Minutes
DRAFT
March 18, 2002
McDermott: Explained that the intent is to provide the least amount of impact to the surrounding properties, and that due to
the topography in the Pixie Point Circle area, widening the street is impractical. Staff also determined that any significant
realignment of the road would have too great an impact financially and on surrounding properties and you lose the actual
benefit.
Mayor Haugen declared the public hearing open
and asked for those who wished to speak to approach the podium
and state their name and address for the record.
Tom Elmer (14956 Pixie Point Circle Sf, rents and speaks for his uncle, Bob Petersen): Commented that when the road
was constructed the property owners had an agreement with the City that they would hot be assessed for future
construction costs for the roadway or sewer. Expects the City to abide by that agreement. Further commented on the
ambiguity of the petition circulated regarding removal of the no parking regulations and that he believes most residents do
not want parking in the street. Believes the original no parking signs were installed in response to complaints about
construction vehicles and in conjunction with line of sight issues and the narrowness of the street. Those issues still apply
today.
Jerry Hein (14934 Pixie Point Circle): Commented that he is building on Pixie Point Circle and would like to see a two-way
street, rather than a one-way street, or to have parking on the curve on his side of the street.
Ed Feiker (14946 Pixie Point Circle): Asked if there would be improvement in the sewer system.
McDermott: The plan is to replace the majority of the sanitary sewer, as well as trying to eliminate some of the sewer that
runs through yards.
Zieska: Asked if when the sewer pipe is abandoned, the pipes are dug up.
McDermott: The pipes are capped off and not dug up.
Ed Feiker: Discussed the history of the original improvement and reiterated the earlier comment that the property owners
were told that they would not be assessed for future improvements. Also noted that there is no enforcement of weight
restrictions on the street and therefore the condition of the street is not the fault of the property owners. Also believed that
extension of storm sewer is not the responsibility of the property owners. Believes there is no problem with the current
parking restrictions on the street.
Steve Nelson (14973 Pixie Point Circle): His concern revolved around the assessment method for the project and asked for
clarification.
Zieska: Believed that the assessme1 will occur on a per unit basis, having each of the lots assessed equally, but that the
final assessment will not occur until the assessment hearing.
Nelson: Further commented that he concurs with the earlier comments made by his neighbors. Believes the street should
remain two-way and that the no parking should remain in force. Pixie Point has gone from a quiet rural street to a parade of
cars searching for Prior Lake property.
Justin Brooks (purchasing 14957 Pixie Point Circle): Asked about retaining walls on his side of the street, and if the
assessment would then increase. Believed the street is too narrow to provide additional parking.

March 18, 2002
McDermott: Advised that a small retaining wall would probably be required, but would not affect the assessment.
HauQen: Noted that City Engineer Sue McDermott will attempt to address each of your questions, but that until the project
proceeds further, the information is somewhat preliminary.
Sue Borka (14290 Lori Road): Asked if they as benefiting property owners on this project, will also be assessed for the
improvements to 150tl1 Street improvements scheduled in upcoming years.
McDermott: Stated that these properties would not be assessed for the 150th Street improvements.
Dennis GeraQhty (14862, 14854, 14846 Estates Avenue): Believes the project will not be beneficial to him at all, and that
the project will adversely affect his property. Commented that the City continues to take a portion of their property in
easements for storm sewer and sanitary sewer, which he did not want to give up. Also has concems about runoff into the
lake, limiting the use of his property during the construction season, and the assessment. Against the project.
Jane Morrone (daughter of Dennis Geraghty): Asked if no easements have been acquired, how is it that the Council can
proceed further with approval of plans and specifications.
Zieska: Explained that the Council could take many different actions, including directing staff to proceed with plans and
specifications with easements, without easements, easements in different locations, or authorizing staff to proceed with
condemnation of the needed easements.
McDermott: Confirmed.
HauQen: Clarified that the action by Council tonight would only allow plans and specifications to be developed so that the
Council can review a more specific project.
Jim Mason (14851 Estate Ave): Advised that he currently has a culvert running underneath his lot that was acquired
without an easement when the original sanitary sewer was constructed. Would like to have the pipe removed. Believes
there are many instances where the City has not paid for easements. Also was told that at the time the lift station was put
in, the water would be diverted there to solve the problem, which never happened. The cul-de-sac is constantly full of water.
McDermott: Advised that if the project proceeds, the City will try to address the problem.
Mason: Advised that one of the solutions suggested by staff was to move the storm sewer to the north end of his property
through his gardens. Another problem is that there are extra footings for the house in two locations on the lakeside, which
would make the relocation of the pipe to that location impractical. Concerned with the impacts upon his property, and lake
water quality.
Jim Breckner (14832 Estate Avenue): Discussed the replacement costs for his 258-foot retaining wall if he gives the City
its 5-foot easement for the storm sewer pipe. Believes it is not practical or feasible and adversely affects his lake frontage.
Did not appreciate the rumors circulating about condemnation proceedings. Further discussed the private road, and the
improvements that he makes to that road. Suggested overlaying the road, realigning Mr. Mason's pipe, and installing and 8
x 8 flammable liquid trap. Advised that the DNR told him that anytime a storm sewer is relocated going into the lake, there
has to be a holding pond or some type of sediment pond.
McDermott: Advised that the sanitary sewer and water main would not be replaced on Estate Avenue. The only issue is the
storm sewer.

March 18, 2002
Jeff Mournina (15040 Green Oaks Trai~: Asked if improvements on the storm drain out of the park are anticipated.
McDermott: Advised that it is in plan to review and assess what can be done to address that outlet.
Julie David (14958 Pixie Point): Clarified that the parking petition was to get one or two designated parking areas on the
street. The intent was not to eliminate all of the no parking signs. The process then evolved into a discussion of the one-way
street, and so on. The petition was intended to bring up the issue of on-street parking as this reconstruction project
progressed.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
Petersen: Commented that it appears that removing the no parking signs was not a very practical plan. Also noted that no
matter what a previous Council may have said, this Council is not bound by that Council with respect to any comments that
mayor may not have been made during the original construction of the road. Further discussed that the storm sewer seems
to be the biggest issue, but that even though runoff is dumped into the lake, the City sweeps the streets by the lake first,
and there are also different uses of salt and sand in the winter months because of the proximity to the lake. There are also
test areas on the lake to gauge the level of salt.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02-32 ORDERING THE 2002 PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS.
Zieska: Asked if there are weight restrictions for Pixie Point Circle.
Osmundson: Advised that there are weight restrictions for the area, but the restrictions are not actively enforced due to
difficulty of enforcement and cost.
McDermott: Noted that Pixie Point has been in the City's Capital Improvement Program at least since 1993, so it has been
in disrepair for quite some time.
Hauaen: AskeCl how it is determined when a street gets improved.
McDermott: Explained the evaluation process, tracking of repairs, and the criteria of the City's pavement management
system.
Zieska: Asked how long the streets are projected to last.
McDermott: Typically 20 to 25 years, but the life span can be extended with patching and seal-coating. This project is part
of an overall reconstruction in the entire area, and that the smaller neighborhoods are being reconstructed before 150lh to
minimize the impact of the 150th Street project.
Zieska: Did not support removing the no parking signs in the neighborhood simply because the street is too narrow. Would
like to see the staff work to acquire the easements cooperatively and with the concensus of the neighborhood.
Hauaen: Commented that things change over time, and that decisions or construction standards used in the past, don't
necessarily apply today. There are concerns of safety, practicality, and cost when considering infrastructure improvements.
This Council is not in an easy position, but charged with making a decision that does the best thing for the City as a whole.

March 18, 2002
Zieska: Invited the neighbors to call upon any of the City Council members or the staff with additional questions or
comments. Further advised that there are still additional steps at which the City Council will consider the project.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
The Council took a brief recess.
OLD BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of Proposed Strategies and Programs to Implement 2002 Goal #3 . Update Strategic Plan
Boyles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, noting that development of a long-range planning
committee, gathering data through a series of meetings with that committee, reporting back to the Council, and then
proceeding to update the City's Strategic Plan is the specific process that will take place to fulfill this goal. The target for
completing the goal is August 2002.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO APPROVE STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS TO IMPLEMENT 2002
GOAL #4 RELATING TO UPDATE OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
HauQen: Asked if there will be any outside resource to gather information through this committee.
Boyles: Advised that he believes using a consultant in this regard would be most beneficial in order to gamer the
information it needs from the committee, and that he has some prospects but has yet to make those contacts.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of Proposed Strategies and Programs to Implement 2002 Goal #4 Relating to Groundwater
Bovles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, noting that the specific action for this item would
include evaluating and repairing existing well no. 4, proceed to implement both a FIG well and a Jordan well, converting
water meters fo radio read, developing a tiered fee system for payment of water, researching rebates for conservation
devices, and educating the community. Also advised that there had been some setback with the test well during drilling and
so the target date will be delayed 3 to 4 weeks. One option considered was to speed up the process by using two drilling
crews, although that would involve substantial overtime.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO APPROVE STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS TO IMPLEMENT 2002
GOAL #4 RELATING TO GROUNDWATER.
Petersen: Asked why there would be overtime costs for two drilling crews on the test well.
Osmundson: Advised that the costs would be from having the process change from a 9-hour shift to almost a 24-hour
operation. It would be extra costs associated with an extra crew, not necessary an overtime rate. This was simply an idea to
explore, because there are some other concerns about the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.
HauQen: Advised that this goal originated in response to the issues raised last summer with water production, and any
urgency to the timeline was to address the problem as soon as possible.

March 18, 2002
Bovles: Advised that some action has already taken place with respect to water production, including getting the Wilds well
on-line.
Petersen: Pointed out that there was some additional cost impact to the City from the dry summer as well. The parks
department lost a large number of trees that they will ask to be replaced later in this meeting.
Hauaen: Suggested bringing a watering plan concept back to the Council for consideration that will provide more
consistency for the residents, instead of allowing watering and then all of a sudden implementing a ban.
Petersen: Clarified that the City does have summer watering restrictions in place that are consistent and necessary to show
the State and DNR that we do have conservation policies in place in order for them considered approval of additional well
applications.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Amending the 2002 Capital Improvement Program Relating to the Purchase of
Replacement Park Trees.
Friedaes: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
Petersen: Asked about the timeline.
Friedaes: Advised that if the $15,000 is allocated from the 2002 CIP, the program can be caught up in one (1) year. If the
project needs to be spread over the operating budget, it would take 3 to 4 years to replace those trees.
Hauaen: Noted that there are also labor costs in addition to the $15,000 requested for plant material.
Friedaes: Discussed the process staff goes through in-house in selecting the trees, planting the trees and maintaining the
trees.
MOTION BY llESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.33 AMENDING THE 2002 CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RELATING TO THE PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT PARK TREES IN AN AMOUNT NOT
TO EXCEED $15,000.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Relating to the Acquisition and Installation of Athletic Field Lighting for Ponds
Park Fields No.1. 2 and 7.
Boyles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, and the options before the Council for consideration.
Petersen: Believes that the Kline bid is acceptable and valid.
Zieska: Concurred with Council member Petersen that the Kline bid is acceptable given these circumstances, and that
eliminating them as a bidder would be irresponsible to the citizens of Prior Lake.

March 18, 2002
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.34 AWARDING THE BID FOR THE
ACQUISITION AND INSTALLATION OF ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHTING FOR PONDS PARK FIELDS 1, 2 AND 7 TO KLINE
ELECTRIC IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $294,000.
HauQen: Suggested breaking apart the issues, the first being whether lighting each of Fields 1, 2 and 7.
Zieska: Discussed the demand for additional field time within the community. Lighting the fields effectively doubles their
use. Also believed lighting all of the fields at this time was the most cost-effective.
Petersen and HauQen: Agreed with comments and position of Councilmember Zieska.
Petersen: Believed that the intent of the bidder was to conform to the standards and that the third party involvement of the
postal service was beyond the bidder's control.
HauQen: Confirmed that there was no opportunity for fraud or collusion on behalf of Kline, and that acceptance of the bid
under these circumstances is not an abuse of this Council's discretion.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Skate Park Equipment.
Boyles: Advised that a staff report and recommendation was not available at this time, but that he would provide a brief
update of our progress. At present, the staff is researching the equipment and uses of a skate park facility in other
communities. The staff is also soliciting information from area youth who have expressed interest, and will solicit bids from
vendors in the near future. Suggested that Mr. Pudwell, who attended the public forum, contact staff to submit a quote.
HauQen: Asked for a description of Tier I vs. Tier II equipment.
Boyles: Advised that Tier II equipment is typically 3 foot and higher and is generally for more skilled skaters. There are also
some issues with City liability and on-going supervision that the staff is still exploring.
Petersen: Asked about the materials used to manufacture the equipment.
Walsh: Advised that there is wood-based framed equipment, and steel-based framed equipment. For our needs, the
equipment needs to be modular, storable, and low-maintenance, therefore staff will likely be recommending the steel-based
framed equipment because the likely location will be a hockey rink at Lakefront Park.
Petersen: Asked if the equipment can be rearranged at any time to provide some variety within the park.
Walsh: Advised that the equipment can be rearranged at the City's discretion and that the City is seeking area youth to help
design the layout, together with the Park Advisory Committee. The surface of the equipment is polyethylene, rather than
wood or steel.
Zieska: Also noted that the skate park had been discussed extensively at the Parks Advisory Committee meeting and that
the recommendation of the PAC is to use a hockey rink at Lakefront Park because the City would save an appreciable
amount of money not having to start from scratch by laying bituminous.

NEW BUSINESS
Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to Enter into a Contract with WSB &
Associates, Inc. to Prepare Plans and Specifications and Provide Construction Observation Services for Lift Station
No. 18 Improvements (City Project #02-02)
McDermott: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
Zieska: Asked if this project is outside of the improvements contemplated with the street improvement project for Pixie
Point.
McDermott: Advised that staff is proposing to bid the lift station improvements in conjunction with the 2002 street
improvement project. The force main would be a staged process and the lift station upgrades could be completed without
any upgrade to the force main at this time. So, even the street project does not move forward, the lift station still needs to be
improved.
Osmundson: Added that the consultant will also look at whether the force main should be completed all the way down. If
so, staff would come back to the Council with that recommendation. The lift station also has to be kept in service during the
improvement. In that case, the sewer would go in first along 150th Street, followed by the street improvements in 2005.
HauQen: Asked why there is such a significant difference between the WSB bid and the BRAA bid for construction
observation.
McDermott: The BRAA bid proposes many more construction observation hours which seems to be the difference. The
City staff would complete the contract administration.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02-35 AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND
CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR WSB & ASSOCIATES, INC. TO PREPARE PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS AND PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION SERVICES FOR LIFT STATION NO. 18
IMPROVEMENTS (CITY PROJECT 02-02) IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $15,253.

County Plans and Specifications to Improve CSAH 83; (2) Approving Scott County Plans and Specifications to
Improve CSAH 42, (3) Restricting Parking on CSAH 83, and (4) Restricting Parking on CSAH 42.
McDermott: Briefly reviewed the agenda item and proposed project in connection with the staff report, noting the City's
portion of the costs, and that the project is likely not to be completed until next year pending acquisition of some of the right-
of-way.
Zieska: Noted that this is not the end of the process and that there are many issues as yet unresolved by the County.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02-36 APPROVING SCOTT COUNTY

Petersen: Asked who will complete the work.
Osmundson: Advised that the action tonight is to have WSB prepare plans and specifications. Once that is complete, we
will solicit quotes. The work is somewhat specialized.

Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving Acquisition of Property for the Ring Road Project and Authorizing

MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.41 AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION
OF PROPERTY FOR THE RING ROAD PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE RELATED DOCUMENTS (BORKA).
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of an Ordinance Amending Section 307.1100 of the Prior Lake City Code Relating to Outdoor
Concerts.
O'Rourke: Briefly reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, noting that the change was to limit outdoor
concerts to two per location per calendar year. Also noted that enforcement is difficult and subjective due to other impacts
upon the decibel meter. Further noted that there needs to be cooperation between the police staff, the event sponsor and
the impacted neighbors.
Petersen: Believed that two concerts per location seemed reasonable.
Zieska: Believed the proposed revisions were appropriate. Would like to see the staff revisit the ~ther issues regarding
hours and enforcement mechanisms.
There was some concern among the Council regarding the impacts
on Lakefront Park by limiting the number of concerts at that location to two, the
definition of a concert, and current implementation of the ordinance.
Boyles: Clarified that City-sponsored events at Lakefront Park are exempted.
Zieska: Noted that Captain Jack's has been very cooperative in working with the City to address the issues surrounding
concerts and amplified music that impact the neighbors. This Council needs to come up with a reasonable regulation for
these types of events as well as mitigate the impacts on the neighborhood.
Petersen: Noted that there is some concern about outdoor events in general that generate noise impacts or traffic and
parking issues on the surrounding neighborhoods.
