ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA:
Consider Approval of Final Payment for City Projects 98-14, 98-15 and 98-16 - 1998 Street and Utility
Construction.
MADER: Noted --that this item is for street and utility improvement projects initiated in 1998. The total
contract estimate was $1.345 million which has now been negotiated to $1.398 million which amount to
about only a 1 % overrun. Considering the nature of the projects and the difficulty with the contractor
wanted to take the time to commend the Engineering staff on resolving the issue.
MOTION BY MADER, SECOND BY SCHENCK, TO APPROVE FINAL PAYMENT TO HENTGES
CONSTRUCTION FOR CITY PROJECTS 98-14, 98-15 AND 98-16 - 1998 STREET AND UTILITY

VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Schenck and Ericson, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of Ordinance 00-03 Amending Section 105-300 of the Prior Lake City Code Relating
to the Salary of the Mayor and City Councilmembers.
SCHENCK: Commented that in his opinion this action is inappropriate at this time, the timing is
premature, and the raise suggested is inadequate considering the comparable information available is
already outdated, and the raise would not take effect for an additional two years. Will not support the
motion. Believes more accurate information will be available closer to 2002.
MADER: Clarified that the City Manager has made an adjustment to the rate to make it current and then
also added to that amount a 3% adjustment per year during the two years that the ordinance is delayed
in its effective date.

SECTION 105.300 OF THE PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE RELATING TO THE SALARY OF THE MAYOR
AND CITY COUNC/LMEMBERS.
BOYLES: Noted that the Mayor and Councilmembers salaries have not been increased since 1986 and
that comparable communities show Prior Lake last in salaries for Mayor and Councilmembers.' The
proposal is to bring the salaries up to the average, with an adjustment for the delay in the ordinance
effective date of 3% per year.
SCHENCK: Disagreed that the data is up-to-date and if the Council takes action it will be unable to
adjust those figures when more up-to-date comparable information is available.

City Council Meeting Minutes
January 18, 2000

PRESENTATIONS:
Results and Recommendations from Economic Development Authority Business Survey - EDA
Commissioner~Pete Schenck.
SCHENCK: Presented to the Council the EDA's recent business survey project, noting the specific
process, as well as the results and accomplishments of the survey. After review of the survey results,
the EDA made eight recommendations to the Council including, obtaining a more professional survey
every two to three years, continuing the Downtown Redevelopment project to improve the community's
image, establishing a single point of contact at City Hall for Prior Lake business persons, developing a
business-related newsletter, scheduling regular meetings between the EDA, businesses and Chamber
of Commerce, customer-service training for all City employees, review of regulations and enhancement
wireless communications, and cleaning-up public rights-of-way and City's general appearance.
MADER: Noted that the action is to approve the report. The recommendations from the report will still
need to be reviewed by either the City staff, Councilor EDA before implemented.
GUNDLACH: Asked how the EDA will now use this information?
SCHENCK: Explained that the EDA is concerned that a subsequent survey be conducted to get a better
indication of what part of the community is most concerned and why. At this point, the EDA will discuss
what direction and which recommendations are appropriate to pursue and in what timeframe.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ERICSON TO ACCEPT THE EDA'S REPORT ON BUSINESS
SURVEY RESULTS.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Schenck, and Ericson, the motion carried.

City Council Meeting Minutes
January 18, 2000
RYE: Gave a brief history of the agenda item, the request of the applicant, the Planning Commission's
recommendation to deny the Comprehensive Plan amendment, and the staff's recommendation to
approve the R-HD designation. Also advised that a 4/5th vote is required for approval of any action.
BRYCE HUEMOELLER (counsel for applicant, Northview Development): Noted the request of the
applicant to change the property classification from commercial to high-density residential. Noted
several issues facing the applicant including that the CCC designation is inappropriate because the
property is adjacent to a school, a residential neighborhood, and a wetland. The property cannot
provide the appropriate transition between commercial and residential neighborhoods. This parcel is
2.92 acres and the minimum area for a CCC designation is 10 acres. A high-density residential
designation would meet the criteria of the Compo Plan. Also discussed the development of the post
office site nearby. The property has limited commercial use, if any, because it is not visible from
Highway 13 and that the customer base has moved to the northern commercial developments in
Shakopee andJ:;avage. The existence of a sewer line that divides the property is also an issue in
commercial development, but could be worked around if the property was designated high-density
residential. Noted that the Scott County HRA study and the recent study by the EDA both find that
there is a need for high-density residential housing. The City has a history of aiding zoning and MUSA
changes to permit development. In summary, advised that the property does not meet the CCC
designation criteria, does not provide transition to adjacent residential uses, is not located on a major
collector street, is not 10 acres in size, is separated from other adjacent commercial properties, is not
visible from Highway 13 and cannot be used for a viable commercial development due to setbacks and
an existing sewer line.
MADER: Asked for clarification from the Planning Director if the request by Northview has changed from
the previous Council meeting.
RYE: Noted that the Council considered this request at a previous meeting which remains a part of the
public record on the matter, but the Planning Commission may not have had some of the information.
JAMES GUSTON (4543 Pondview Trail): Opposes the re-designation of the property as high-density
residential, noting that there are 27 acres in other areas within the City designated for high-density
residential development. Also noted the need for commercial development within the City and the
traffic impact of a high-density residential development.
CLAYTON HARDER (4510 Pondview Trail): Opposed the request. Added that there is already a traffic
congestion problem on Toronto Avenue due to the Hollywood Bar and Grill.
STEVE POTTER (4498 Pondview Trail): Also opposed the rezoning. Added that it does not appear that
the applicant has exhausted all the options for a viable commercial use for the property, especially
considering the new post office development.
MOTION BY SCHENCK, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Schenck and Ericson, the motion carried.
SCHENCK: Asked how many Compo Plan amendments the City sends to the Met Council on an annual
basis, and what would be an excessive number of amendments? Also asked the significance of the
Met Council's review.

City Council Meeting Minutes
January 18, 2000
BYE: Answered that the City submits maybe three requests annually, but the excessiveness of
amendments to the adopted Compo Plan is a policy question for the Council. The staff responds based
upon the receipt of an application in the same manner. The Met Council really only addresses whether
the change will have metropolitan significance, including highway capacity, sewer capacity, regional
open space and airports.
SCHENCK: Supports the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the amendment. Noted that if
he was a resident in the neighborhood, he would like to see some transitional zoning take place, but
that the City needs to maintain its commercial class properties for development.
ERICSON: Noted that in his opinion the most significant factors are the development of the hardware
store in the area as well as the development of the post office site. Both of the projects indicate that the
property is viable commercially. Supports the motion to deny the request.
GUNDLACH: Asked for clarification as the post office's rationale for choosing the particular site behind
the Hollywood Bar & Grill. Also asked that if the demand for high-density residential can be met under
the current Compo Plan designations.
BOYLES: The indication is that the post office chose that particular site for its access and retail viability.
.BYE: Advised that the Compo Plan currently accommodates the need for high-density residential
housing.
GUNDLACH: Also supports the denial of the request, noting the need for commercial property within the
City.
SCHENCK: Asked for clarification whether the Compo Plan is an area study rather than a parcel by
parcel designation.
.BYE: Explained that in some cases there may be a parcel designation, but generally areas are
designated with little regard to the individual parcel. Staff believes the 10 acre limitation applies to the
district designation as a whole and not to individual parcels. The fact that the Compo Plan discourages
that designation against low-density housing, it is more a guideline. A zoning designation is specific to
a property.
PETERSEN: Supports the apartment development because the setback requirement would leave very
little room for a viable commercial development.
MADER: Supports the resolution to deny the amendment as recommended by the Planning
Commission under a unanimous decision. No new information has been provided by the applicant.
Clarified that the issue of setbacks for the property could be addressed through the variance process
once the applicant has a development plan. Also noted that it is unreasonable to suggest that because
a property isn't visible from TH13 it can't be a viable commercial property. The reference that
commercial property is not needed is also disputable when you consider the Council's past discussions
on the need to expand its commercial tax base. Also, the Council has heard the Planning Director
indicate that there is enough property within the City zoned for high-density residential development,
which would indicate there is not a strong reason to change this property's designation. The access to
the property and realignment of the ring road will be factors for this property's development whether its

designation is commercial or high-density residential. Believes that the applicant's arguments are not
strong enough to warrant a designation change.
MOTION BY ERICSON, SECOND BY GUNDLACH TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 00-05 DENYING
THE REQUEST BY NORTHVIEW DEVELOPMENT TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
DESIGNATION FOR PROPERTY AT 4520 TOWER STREET FROM C-CC TO R-HD.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Schenck and Ericson, Nay by Petersen, the motion carried.
The Council took a brief recess.
OLD BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of Resolution OO-XX Approving the Conditional Use Permit for Excavation of
Sand and Gra-'{.el for Ryan Contracting on Property Located in the Southeast Quarter of Section
22, Township 115, Range 22, Located on McKenna Road.
BOYLES: Advised that as of this morning a petition has been submitted to the Environment Quality
Board requesting that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet be completed prior to any action by
the Council. In light of the petition, recommended that the Council defer the matter to allow staff to
provide a complete report with recommendations for pursuing or not the completion of an EAW at the
Feb. 7th regular meeting.
MADE~: Asked if the Council defers action, does the 60 day clock on the CUP application stop due to
the request for an EAW? Also asked if the Council could take action to reject the permit based on other
issues?
.BYE: Clarified that the rules are such that the Council cannot take any final action positive or negative
until such time until the EAW is resolved and the 60-day clock would be suspended. Clarified that staff
received a fax notification and there may be a question whether that is sufficient notification. If the
Council does not receive the original paperwork, a special meeting would need to be set to consider
the CUP application.
SCHENCK: Believed the appropriate action is to table the item until February 7th, but asked if it would
be appropriate to discuss general issues?
Both Attorney ~ and Mayor MADER confirmed that there is nothing that would preclude discussion
at this time.
SCHENCK: Noted several concerns including that the hours of operation be limited to 8am to 5pm
weekdays with no operation on weekends. Also expressed concern regarding dust control measures,
the process for ensuring dust control, and on-site fueling.
~: Indicated that Council member Schenck's suggestion to define "notification" in the process for
ensuring dust control should be addressed in the resolution.
TOVAR: Advised that Ryan has provided a dust control plan. The provisions in the resolution are a
back-up so that the City maintains some control measures in addition to the Ryan plan.

MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY SCHENCK, TO DEFER THIS MATTER TO THE FEBRUARY
7TH MEETING PREDICATED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK IS
RECEIVED.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Schenck and Ericson, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of Resolution 00-06 Approving the Final Plat and Development Contract for Farrell's
1 st Addition.
Mader: Noted that the Final Plat is for a two lot subdivision and will result in the addition of one single
family home.
MOTION BY SCHENCK, SECOND BY PETERSEN TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 00-06 APPROVING
THE FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR FARRELL'S 1ST ADDITION.
VOTE: Ayes b~rMader, Gundlach, Petersen, Schenck and Ericson, the motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of Resolution 00-07 Approving a Preliminary Planned Unit Development
Plan, Resolution 00-08 Approving the Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat to be known as
Deerfield, and Resolution 00-09 Approving the Wetland Replacement Plan for the Plat to be
known as Deerfield.
KANSIER: Gave a detailed overview of the 165 acre project proposed for 540 units (78 single family
units and 462 townhouse units) with an overall density 4.19. Also noted the proposed setbacks, lot
coverage, useable open space, parking, landscaping, tree replacement, lighting, streets, sidewalk and
trails, and sewer and water extensions. Further discussed that the addition of storm sewer will divert
storm water from drainage into Markley Lake instead draining into the DNR wetland to the south.
Reviewed the traffic impact study, noting that the major impact would be a right turn lane at Fish Point
Road and CSAH 21. The project is proposed in 5 phases ending in 2004. Discussed the nine issues
raised by staff and the criteria to consider for any proposed PUD, as well as the staff recommendation
for approval subject to specific conditions.
fAcE: Asked for clarification that any request for an extension of the final PUD application beyond the
90 days requires approval by the Council, but will the City accept a request for an extension at any
time up to April 18th, or does the extension need to be approved now?
KANSIER: Stated that the request for an extension can be accepted up to the expiration date, in this
case April 18, 2000.
GUNDLACH: Item 13 of the EAW states the development will result in the use of 63 million gallons of
water annually. Asked if the City will then need an additional well?
KANSIER: Noted that this particular development will not necessitate another well, although the City
does need another well overall. Upon approval of that well, the City will have more than enough
capacity to serve this development and any future developments.
GUNDLACH: Asked if the southerly wetland has an adequate capacity, approximately 120 acres, to
manage the 2-inch bounce in storm water runoff.
7
~-~-..~, 'T"."
City Council Meeting Minutes
January 18, 2000
BRIAN MILLER (BEM Consulting Engineers): Explained that storm water runoff will be diverted from
wetland 187 to wetland 188. The rate at which the runoff drains to wetland 188 is actually less after
development due to the ponds on-site. The total volume of runoff is increased due to the amount of
impervious surface. Wetland 188 is approximately 135 acres in size and is southeast of the southerly
boundary of the development.
MADER: Asked for clarification that the City controlling both the rate and runoff so that both will be equal
to or less than the present impact?
MILLER: The runoff volume will increase, which is what will cause the 2 inch bounce on wetland 188 in
a worse case scenario. There is an outlet for wetland 188 into Cleary Lake, and in turn to the Credit
River. Overall there is a negligible impact to the flow of the Credit River.
ERICSON: Asked if the trailway design through the wetland is final, and noted that there is some
neighborhood concern with the proximity of the pathway to the existing neighborhood on the northerly
edge. Asked if there is a possibility for an additional buffer at that point, or potential for realignment.
KANSIER: Clarified that the trailway is constrained by the size of the wetland and the City costs incurred
due to mitigation. Because this is a preliminary approval, the issue can be addressed once grading
plans have been submitted.
SCHeNCK: Expressed concern on having a private streets greater than 500 feet long. Asked if there is
any potential for a second access for egress as the project is phased in. Also expressed concerns that
the City control wetland levels through the operation of a diverter in wet/and 188.
KANSIER: There is no private street that exceeds 500 feet, except Deerfield Drive. There is no
alternative access for egress. Advised that the City is in the habit of controlling wet/and levels, and that
the City would probably want to maintain that control.
McDERMOTT: Noted that the DNR has indicated that the City would control the diversion structure and
that a management agreement has been submitted. This area is not in the Prior Lake I Spring Lake
Watershed district. It falls under Scott County who is still forming their plan.
BRYAN MILLER: Noted that once the City has commented on the diversion management plan, it must
also be acceptable to Credit River Township, Scott County and the DNR. The level of Markley Lake will
dictate when water will drain to Markley Lake and when it is diverted away based upon the Ordinary
High Water level.
SCHENCK: Uncomfortable with the City maintaining control of the diversion of water that is not
contained wholly within the City.
GUNDLACH: Asked the status of whether a stoplight would be installed at Fish Point Road and CSAH
21.
KANSIER: Noted that the traffic impact would reach that level regardless of this development. CSAH 21
is a County roadway so the installation of any traffic control measures would need to be done in
cooperation with the County.

City Council Meeting Minutes
January 18, 2000
OSMUNDSON: Commented that the installation of the underground electrical conduits should be delayed
until the intersection is designed because things change over time. The underground electrical conduits
are a very minor part of the project cost of installing a new signal light. It is always good to plan ahead,
but in this case we may spend more time and money in any realignment of the conduits than if we
would just wait until the intersection is designed.
fAcE: Clarified that in response to Councilmember Ericson's concerns regarding the trailway, since the
City is responsible for constructing the trailway, it is under the City's discretion to review whether a
bridge or pathway is feasible, and that there is nothing that needs to be added to the resolution in
terms of another condition.
Planning Coordinator KANSIER confirmed.
