MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS
MODIFIED.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
DRAFT Ol 28 13 City Council Meeting Minutes 2
MOTION BY SOUKUP, SECOND BY KEENEY TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CLAIMS LIST-
ING.
Morton: Questioned the ability of this report to compare expenditures to budget or to previous
year, which are routine expenditures, etc.
Erickson: Replied that the purpose of the claims listing is to provide a list of bills paid in the period
designated. This report is not intended to provide period over period information, but rather to
meet the Council's responsibility of oversight for claims paid. Noted that this period has large ex-
penditures due to bond payments in December and the detail shows bond principal and bond in-
terest. Commented that in the past, Council had discussion on whether they like this format or a
check register format and decided upon this invoice summary format which shows the fund, de-
partment and account code. Comparisons are provided in other reports.
Hedberg: Stated his understanding that the Council has statutory responsibility to oversee pay-
ment of claims.
Keeney: Added that there is a quarterly report that addresses comparison to budget, shows fund
balances and has a narrative report explaining what went on. This claims listing report is routine
and a chance to review the checks that are written.
Erickson: Commented on the delegation of authority to pay claims, which allows processing of
checks when necessary and still allows Council oversight.
Morton: Stated she will desire to provide input regarding metrics after having an opportunity to
review the treasurer and financial reports.
Rosow: Reiterated that it is statutorily required to review claims and that is the purpose this report
serves. If there is additional information needed, that can be brought forward for discussion.
Morton: Likes this detail, but will want to see high level roll up about top vendors, etc.
Keeney: Suggested going back to look at the previous quarter and December report to see if they
meet Morton's needs and that additional questions could be posed to the City Manager and Fi-
nance Director.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ADOPTING
AMENDMENTS TO THE 2013 PRIOR LAKE GENERAL FUND AND ECONOMIC DEVELOP-
MENT AUTHORITY BUDGETS.
Morton: Sought clarification that the EDA has a dedicated fund.
Erickson: Affirmed that the EDA fund is established for 2013. Those funds are restricted and to
be used for EDA purposes.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
MOTION BY SOUKUP, SECOND BY KEENEY TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-007 APPROV-
ING PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 12 FROM STEMMER
RIDGE ROAD TO COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 17.
Morton: Asked what the impact of a parking restriction would be to the homeowners in the area.
Poppler: Replied that this is a State Aid route and to allow parking, streets would have to be built
wide enough to accommodate that according to State Aid standards. In practicality, many seg-
ments cannot be parked on because there is too little shoulder width. In the case of CR 12, part of
the plan approval is to provide a frontage road for residents along the lake. County had to pur-
chase additional right of way for that.
Hedberg: Commented that the Council already approved motions to restrict parking along other
sections of CR 12. This resolution is only for this section and is to meet County expectations.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
DRAFT 01 28 13 City Council Meeting Minutes 3
MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-008 APPROV-
ING THE DESIGN FOR THE CSAH 12 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT FROM STEMMER
RIDGE ROAD TO CSAH 17 (SAP 201-020-005).
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
MOTION BY SOUKUP, SECOND BY KEENEY TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-009 RESTRICT-
ING PARKING ON MAIN AVENUE FROM KOP PARKWAY TO TRUNK HIGHWAY 13;
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
MOTION BY SOUKUP, SECOND BY MORTON TO APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
AND REQUEST QUOTES FOR STREET LIGHTING
Keeney: Expressed concern about costs for lights citing $9,000 from the report.
Poppler: Affirmed that is the correct amount for street lights.
Keeney: Sought clarification on the number of lights proposed and where they are located.
Poppler: Replied the proposal is currently to have four lights on Ridgemont, four at the intersec-
tion and three south of the intersection.
Keeney: Stated he is opposed to this style of lights as being too expensive and is opposed to
spending this much on lights.
Morton: Stated she is opposed to spending this amount on lights.
Hedberg: Questioned the location of the lights. Stated he thought the lighting was to end by the
tennis courts.
Poppler: Responded the proposal is to have a light at each entrance to the tennis courts and an-
other by the trail on Ridgemont. Displayed the locations proposed. Noted that this resolution is to
request quotes and costs may end up being something different. Quotes can be rejected if not ac-
ceptable.
Hedberg: Asked if lights will be a second alternate on the overall bid.
Poppler: Responded he is attempting to get quotes for lighting to be able to order the hardware.
When bids are received, they will include labor to install the lights. Both aspects will be brought to
the Council to decide if the bid should be awarded and whether the lights should be included.
Boyles: Reiterated that there will be material quotes for 13 lights. If the Council wants fewer
lights, prices would go down for materials. Labor would be based upon installation of lights.
Morton: Questioned if $44,000 is the cost that will be incurred.
Poppler: Replied that amount is estimation.
Keeney: Recalled the cost per light for the Arcadia / CR 21 project was around $6,000 and ques-
tioned why these are projected to be $9,000. .
Poppler: Responded that he did not recall the actual cost on that project, but noted that he pre-
ferred to estimate high and when competitive bids are received it may be less.
Keeney: Questioned whether approval should be given to get quotes and not approve the design
and specifications at this time.
Poppler: Replied there could be flexibility about the number of lights to have; but the plans and
specifications have to do with how the light would look rather than where the lights would go.
VOTE: Hedberg and Soukup aye. Keeney and Morton nay. The motion failed.
MOTION BY MORTON, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-010 APPROV-
ING PARTICIPATION IN THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SOUTHBRIDGE
CROSSING AND EAGLE CREEK TRANSIT STATIONS AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT BETWEEN SCOTT COUN-
TY, THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE AND THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE.
Morton: Queried terms of payment and the County's in-kind. Asked if the cash payments are di-
vided equally between the County, Shakopee and the City.
Kansier: Replied that the County provides in-kind services such as handling calls for BlueXpress,
administering maintenance contracts, plowing snow, etc. Actual cash expenditures are split be-
DRAFT 01 28 13 City Council Meeting Minutes 4
tween Shakopee and Prior Lake. Stated that the monetary amount proposed is based on past ex-
perience.
Keeney: Added that even though these two transit stations are located outside of City limits, they
both serve Prior Lake residents.
Kansier: Added that 2010 ridership data on the Southbridge Crossing transit station reflect that 20
— 25 percent of the riders are from Prior Lake.
Keeney: Commented that the Eagle Creek transit station is even more convenient for Prior Lake
residents. Noted that funding is earmarked from the State.
Kansier: Affirmed that the funds are directly from Motor Vehicle Sales Tax and deposited into a
transit fund that is dedicated to our transit expenses.
Keeney: Supports being in this cooperative agreement and believes it reflects a success story in
working together with other agencies can succeed.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-011 APPROV-
ING PARTICIPATION IN THE SCOTT COUNTY SENTENCING TO SERVICE PROGRAM AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE JOINT POWERS
AGREEMENT BETWEEN SCOTT COUNTY AND CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
Morton: Asked if service is provided on an as-needed basis or if the City is required to take on the
workers even if there is no project for them to do.
Boyles: Replied that the City states what is available. The program provides the supervisors for
oversight. Noted that some service is provided for no fee, depending on the size of the crew. Cit-
ed some of the work that was completed through this program.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
MOTION BY SOUKUP, SECOND BY MORTON TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-012 APPROV-
ING A TEMPORARY LIQUOR LICENSE FOR THE PRIOR LAKE/SAVAGE HOCKEY ASSOCIA-
TION.
Morton: Queried what time of the day the event will be held.
Boyles: Replied it is scheduled from early afternoon until 7 p.m.
Morton: Asked if there have been problems with past events.
Boyles: Replied that part of the licensing recommendation process consists of a police check and
meeting their criteria.
Keeney: Commented that the Skate the Lake event has typically been at Captain Jack's and has
been popular enough to cause parking issues; and he assumed that is why the event is being
moved to Lakefront Park.
Boyles: Confirmed there were some issues with pond hockey on the lake, and parking on the lake
and in the neighborhood.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
PRESENTATIONS
Presentation of a 45-acre Residential PUD Concept Plan on a Site Located South of CR 42
and North of Lower Prior Lake
Planner Matzke provided information regarding location, site details and site layout for the concept
plan. Stated that a planned unit development use district is proposed. Discussed PUD benefits
and challenges. Developer is asking for 82 lots of 75-foot width and three lakeshore lots of 90-foot
widths. Stated the Planning Commission expressed some concerns over placements of smaller
lots and did not see many benefits for the proposal; along with having concerns about adequate
ponding and loss of significant trees. Noted that comments by the City Council are non-binding,
but the developer can use the comments to pursue next stages before bringing an application for a
preliminary plat to the Council.
DRAFT 0128 13 City Council Meeting Minutes 5
Keeney: Questioned if the 75-foot lot widths and 7.5-foot setbacks are the only variances re-
quested.
Matzke: Affirmed.
Developer Kevin Clark from Excelsior commented on challenges of the site with existing topogra-
phy and existing street connections. Stated they seek modification of lot widths by the wetland.
Commented on transitions from 80- to 100-foot right of ways. Displayed proposed outlots for sew-
er and water easements. Spoke of desire to save significant trees whenever possible. Comment-
ed on "ghost platting" that attempts to portray potential layout of future properties and utilities for
total connectivity even though those properties are not part of this project. Stated they are request-
ing a PUD, noting that this site will average lot sizes of greater than 13,800 square feet. Stated
they are not considering inclusion of a community park or public lake access. They plan to con-
struct single family, two-story homes with a three-car garage consisting of 2,500 — 3,500 square
feet with pricing starting in mid-$300,000's. Stated one of PUD benefits is payment of the oversiz-
ing of Carriage Hills Roadway.
Comments:
Soukup: Stated the Council discussed economic development and how this area is desired to be
developed. Believes we need to consider whether this is the best use for this area. Stated she
does not favor residential development abutting CR 42; and does not see how this development
will benefit the community other than bringing in more residential as it offers no recreational oppor-
tunity of parks, trails or lake access. Commenting on roadway connectivity stated she does not
favor leaving accessibility to CR 42 to the next developer. Appreciates that something should be
done with the land, but is not sure this concept is the right way to go.
Morton: Stated the proposed variances are disconcerting. This meets net density requirement, but
she has concerns about lowering standards. Perceives the layout as being landlocked.
Keeney: Does not feel that this fits the spirit of the PUD ordinance in providing a uniform collection
or a specifically identified community. Shares concerns expressed that these properties would be
funneled to limited roadways. Stated that a PUD is not meant as an escape clause to let the zon-
ing requirements be relaxed, but rather is intended to be a tradeoff for something unique that does
not fit zoning requirements but offers much to the community. Would like to see parkland as a
trade-off or else regular-sized lots. Questioned some of the connectivity with existing streets and
believes it will be awkward to not have Carriage Hills go all the way through at one time. Believes
there should be some community retail along CR 42.
Hedberg: Commented it is realistic to say the City might want to change its comprehensive plan to
have community retail along CR 42. Currently it is directed toward residential. Believes there is
not enough public benefit in exchange for the variances being requested and used the Jeffers
Pond and Hickory Shores trail system that encircle wetlands as examples of public benefit. Also
noted that the water system currently does not complete a loop of free flowing water and agreed
with Keeney that Carriage Hills should be completed all the way through for both roadway and wa-
ter system connectivity. Believes the entire parcel should be developed from north to south all the
way across. Suggested reconsidering having a neighborhood lot on the lake and a homeowners
association for access to the lake; believes it would significantly enhance the marketability of the
entire property.
Clark: Responded that they are considering a significant trail system and propose water system
continuity be from north to south. Asked if a neighborhood lake lot would be a significant contribu-
tion to the Council.
Keeney: Replied that a number of residents who have those types of properties really enjoy them
and they are very valuable. Would definitely improve the feeling of community for the owners of
the entire area.

OLD BUSINESS
Consider Approval of a Resolution Appointing a Person to Fill the Present Vacancy on the
City Council
City Manager Boyles reviewed the status of filling the present vacancy on the Council. Mayor
Hedberg suggested a private ranking of candidates with points assigned. City Attorney Rosow
indicated the Councilors would have to identify their rankings and that would have to be made
available to the public in order to satisfy open meeting requirements. Councilors indicated agree-
ment to verbally ranking candidates.
Keeney: McGuire, Erickson.
Morton: McGuire, Bump.
Soukup: McGuire, Bump, Erickson.
Hedberg: Bump, McGuire, Erickson.
Rosow: Stated that his tally reflects that McGuire ranks first by three of four; Mr. Bump ranks first
on one and second on two of four, Erickson is second on one and third on two others.
Hedberg: Stated this reflects a clear rank ordering to have McGuire as first choice.
MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-014 APPOINT-
ING MCGUIRE TO FILL A VACANCY ON THE PRIOR LAKE CITY COUNCIL FROM FEBRUARY
11, 2013 UNTIL THE END OF 2014.
Soukup: Thanked all candidates who applied expressing appreciation for the difficulty in appear-
ing before the Council and the public to participate in the interviews. ,
Keeney: Commented that filling the vacancy is a tough choice because numerous qualified candi-
dates applied for the position; and it also became an easier task because there were so many
qualified applicants. Expressed his appreciation that there are so many people concerned about
their community and willing to invest themselves in it.
Hedberg: Stated there were six strong candidates with creditable presentations. Thanked them for
participating and for being willing to serve. Thanked Erickson who served the City with distinction
for seven years.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
Mayor Hedberg stated the intent to swear-in McGuire and seat him at the February 11, 2013
meeting.
Consider Approval of the Appointment of a Second City Council Member to the Economic
Development Authority
Community and Economic Development Director Rogness reviewed the status of the vacancy
on the EDA.
MOTION BY MORTON, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO DEFER ACTION UNTIL FEBRUARY 11, 2013
SO NEWLY APPOINTED MCGUIRE CAN MAKE COMMENT.
Keeney: Stated he would also like to be considered for appointment to the EDA and agreed it
would make sense to ask McGuire if he is agreeable to that appointment.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
Keeney: Commented that he was appointed as the 2013 Economic Development Advisory Com-
mittee (EDAC) liaison and questioned whether the appointment should be made by the Economic
Development Authority (EDA) rather than the City Council.
Hedberg: Believes the Council should reconsider the liaison appointment to the EDAC and defer
that action until after making an appointment to the EDA.
DRAFT 0128 13 City Council Meeting Minutes �
Boyles: Believes the EDA bylaws state one Council member is president of EDA and the other is
the liaison to the EDAC.
Rogness: Commented that the EDAC bylaws were amended to state that the Council liaison to
the EDAC would be an EDA member. Read a passage from the EDA bylaws and stated he be-
lieves the correct procedures would be to rescind the appointment and let the EDA appoint the
EDAC liaison.
Boyles: Council directed that the EDA bylaws be modified to allow a membership increase and
this clarification could also be incorporated.
Hedberg: Queried the Council about their preference in delegating of the appointment of a Coun-
cil liaison to the EDAC to the EDA.
Morton: Seems to make sense.
Soukup: Liaison should be delegated by the EDA. With two council members on the EDA, feed-
back will be received from the EDA and through that from the EDAC.
Rosow: Noted that the advisory committee section of Council bylaws lists advisory committees
and does not include the Economic Development Advisory Committee so it seems appropriate for
the EDA to make that appointment. Tonight's action would be to revoke the appointment of Keen-
ey to the EDAC.
MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO RESCIND COUNCILOR KEENEY'S AP-
POINTMENT TO EDAC AND DELEGATE THE EDA TO MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney, Morton and Soukup. The motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with Law-
rence Schweich and Bonita J Schweich for compensatory Flood Storage and Stormwater
Treatment
Public Works and Natural Resources Director Gehler reviewed the need for stormwater storage
and treatment with the Welcome Avenue project and identified property proposed for purchase to
meet that need. Discussed the proposed purchase price and negotiations undertaken to reach that
price.
MOTION BY SOUKUP, SECOND BY MORTON TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 13-015 APPROV-
ING A REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH LAWRENCE SCHWEICH AND BONITA
J SCHWEICH.
Keeney: Asked if the $150,000 budget was for this specific property or the project.
Gehler: Replied it is the entire project.
Keeney: Asked if the remaining budget is adequate for completion.
Gehler: Affirmed.
Keeney: Asked about the criteria or justification to go to the high end of the range for a purchase
price.
Gehler: There was a range subjective to the appraisal and they used the mid-point of the range
for the initial offer. As a counterpoint to that offer we went to the lower end of the range.
Morton: Seem to be paying premium for the property. Difficult to find that justified.
Keeney: Stated he is not adverse to a modest premium when it is a necessary property. Noted
that the Council authorized eminent domain to take the property and would have incurred fees with
that. Believes it serves a public fairness to pay a modest premium.
VOTE: Ayes by Hedberg, Keeney and Soukup. Morton nay. The motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
