PUBLIC HEARINGS:
There were no public hearings.
PRESENTATIONS:
Concept Plan - Hickory Shores (O'Brien Property)
Planning Coordinator Moore introduced the concept plan and noted that no formal action from the Council is requested at
this time. John Anderson of Giles Properties was present to respond to questions from the Council.
Comments:
Fleming: Stated he will look forward to hearing the plan for mitigating stormwater runoff.
Petersen: Asked if the intent is to leave most of the trees.
Anderson: Noted that the northern area and cul-de-sac area between Rice and Crystal Lakes is fairly open and the south-
ern 40 acres is wooded. The southern area will be custom lots so the builder can pick and choose which trees would come
down. The developer is trying to preserve as many trees as possible. The townhouse area is mostly field and there are few
trees, but they will save as many as possible to create a buffer for back yards.
Petersen: Asked regarding trails along the lakeshore.
Anderson: Trails would run from Heritage Landing along the lakeshore and between the two lakes with connecting points
to streets on the southern boundary. Other trails would connect with Maple Glen.
Petersen: Asked about the intention to close the road north of development so it doesn't go through to Hwy 13.
Anderson: Replied it would not be closed, but realigned to have a better sight line for traffic.
Zieska: Asked what the allowable shoreline impervious surface is.
Moore: Thirty percent.
Zieska: Suggested leaving the lots at 100' and 20,000 square feet to allow for appropriate impervious surface space.
Anderson: Noted that a majority of the lots are more than 20,000 square feet.
LeMair: Asked if there will be requirement sizes for houses.
Anderson: Affirmed and stated they are negotiating with several builders who would work on the project and will work with
them to determine final size and building guidelines. City will have a chance to review with the PUD submittal.
LeMair: Asked whether there were sidewalks throughout the project.
Anderson: Stated that the only sidewalks proposed are along the main road and none in the cul-de-sacs, and there are
trails proposed for the green space that connects to streets in three locations.
LeMair: Stated he is an advocate for sidewalks in the cul-de-sacs. Asked if Ida Circle is in city limits.
Moore: Affirmed.
LeMair: Confirmed that Ida Circle access will be through 170th Street.
Albrecht: Stated that part of access management planning with MNDot states that Ida Circle access to Hwy 13 will be
gone. Vacant property may be used to construct access to Ida Circle to fulfill an agreement with MNDot. Advised the
Council that a petition was received from residents of Ida Circle for sewer and water if development goes forward.
Anderson: Commented that Giles Property held a neighborhood meeting to address concerns. Noted that this proposal is
not to reconstruct Ida Circle and will only go up to it.
LeMair: Looks like a nice development and density is what we're looking for.
Haugen: Asked if the 50-foot strip along the lake is similar to the strip around Jeffers Pond.
Albrecht: Replied that the Jeffers Pond buffer is 50-feet wide, but the natural strip to facilitate the trails is wider. This pro-
posal is similar to Heritage Landing which is adjacent.
Haugen: Asked if there are watercraft restrictions on the two lakes.
Moore: Replied she is not aware of watercraft restriction on these two lakes.
Haugen: Stated he has never observed motorized watercraft on these two lakes, but wondered if the concept addressed
the issue.
Moore: Replied it could be reviewed with the preliminary plat.
Anderson: Stated the development is not proposing any private docks and access would have to be from public access
outside of the development.

City Council Meeting Minutes

Draft
Haugen: Stated he is not proposing there should be access.
Boyles: Asked Albrecht to describe the configuration of the Hwy 13 and 170th Street intersection. Noted the Council has
approved the County's plan for the intersection.
Albrecht: Replied the location of the intersection will remain the same, this will make it a better "right-in, right-out" which
will slow traffic down that is exiting Hwy 13. MNDot's preliminary review indicates this meets what was intended for corridor
control in this area. CR 12 will remain a "three-legged" intersection and will not go across Hwy 13.
Boyles: Asked if projections suggest there will be traffic control signals.
Albrecht: Stated there is nothing to indicate it at this time.
Toastmasters International Proclamation
City Manager Boyles stated that October is the 8151 anniversary of Toastmasters in the United States. Mayor Haugen read
a proclamation and presented it to Genell Hollahan, President of MN River Valley Toastmasters. Hollahan thanked the
Mayor and Council, informed the viewing public of the Toastmaster meeting schedule and invited any interested person to
join them.
Comments:
No comments.
Follow-up Report Regarding Mail tube Installation on Mailbox Posts.
City Manager Boyles reviewed the topic and noted this report was to respond to the question was raised about whether
ECM would go onto private properties to install tubes. Correspondence from the ECM attorney has stated they would not.
Pace: Stated the ECM response was straightforward and answered the query.
Zieska: Asked if anyone would also have the right to place tubes on street signs or telephone poles that are in the right-of-
way.
Pace: Mail boxes are distinguishable from other kids of poles or light structures and the City would enforce that.
Boyles: Mail boxes are installed in accordance with postal regulations and they are usually outside property lines, but
maintained by owners of the residence.
Autumn Gathering and Fall Recreation Programs.
Recreation Coordinator Barstad informed the Council of several events that are planned starting with the Autumn Gather-
ing and continuing through the winter.
Comments:
Fleming: Expressed a thank you for the update.
LeMair: Noted the activities sound like fun.
Communications Report - Website Demonstration
Communications Coordinator Oster demonstrated the upgraded Website.
Comments:
Fleming: Complimented Oster on the excellent work and noted that much work and effort goes into building, maintaining
and upgrading Websites.
Petersen: Concurred with Fleming.
Zieska: Stated this is a vast improvement and he likes it.
LeMair: Stated this is a real asset for people who don't live in the community.
Haugen: Well done. Stated that communication is a real priority in the 2030 vision and asked Oster to state the changes
that were implemented in the Wavelength.
Oster: Replied that the Wavelength has been changed to a monthly product and it will be distributed in the Prior Lake
American at about the same cost as six editions using the old format. Distribution will usually be in the edition that is distrib-
uted on the last Saturday of each month.

City Council Meeting Minutes
October 3,2005
Draft
John Sullivan - Former Community Development Director
This agenda item is deferred to the next meeting.
OLD BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to Enter Into Agreements with Respect
to City-owned Property at Hastings and Main Avenue:
1. Development Agreement
2. Agreement for Purchase of City-owned Property
3. Lease Agreement for Public Parking Lot
City Manager Boyles reviewed the status of the sale of this City-owned parcel. He noted that the documents proposed for
approval at this meeting were negotiated to assure that the proposed development will occur, or the City would be able to
retain the property.
Comments:
LeMair: Asked what the provisions were in the original agreement for milestones that were not met.
Boyles: The $15,000 deposit would be forfeit if developer failed to meet significant milestones. The intent was assure that
development took place and to have a means to motivate development. Stated that milestone dates for completion of con-
struction and certificate of occupancy are most crucial.
LeMair: Asked if this should be bid again.
Boyles: Stated that the penalty has been escalated to an additional $15,000 for every 45 days. We wanted to assure the
City would be protected against delays in getting financing. A letter from a bank representing Rock Creek that indicat~d
Rock Creek is pre-approved for a loan for a 15,000 square foot building.
LeMair: Asked if the $15,000 is payable in a check made out to the City.
Pace: Affirmed.
LeMair: Sought clarification on how long the process would be extended.
Pace: Replied that if Rock Creek did not pay the $15,000 after a 45-day interval, it would be a material breach. Compared
it to a floating option - given the floating time table - and the end result is that either they are in the ground by April 7 or
they will have paid the City $60,000 and we get the land back. Their bid was $80,000 more than next highest bid so it
seemed prudent to keep the highest bidder motivated and provide incentive to develop the project and not just speculate on
the land. Our comfort level in negotiating this agreement included knowing that by the time they had to pay the next
$15,000, they would have incurred money in planning fees.
LeMair: Stated his objective is to see a building in that space. Noted that it is good that there is compensation in place, but
in the large scheme of things we want to have the building in our Downtown.
Pace: Replied that was her incentive in keeping the ball rolling with the $15,000 penalties. Looked back at the other bid
proposal, but it had a lot of contingencies that would have allowed them 60 days to remove the contingencies and still be
able to get their $15,000 back. The City is getting more out of this proposal. She has spoken frequently with attorney for
builder and has stated that our objective was to have a building in the ground by the spring and, if not, the City will have
been amply compensated.
Zieska: Asked if the City is satisfied that the intent is met if the building is started by April 7 with no further penalty to Rock
Creek.
Pace: Affirmed.
Zieska: Asked if any other City approvals were needed other than the building permits.
Pace: Stated the only reason to come back to the Council is if the City wanted to declare a material breach and sought
authority from the Council to do that.
Zieska: Sought clarification of whether or not the City was the cause of the delay from the agreed upon construction date
of November 1.

City Council Meeting Minutes

Draft
Pace: Replied that Council authorized her to negotiate a development agreement that would get a building in the ground
and protect the City. It took longer to negotiate the agreements than would have been expected because they are very
advantageous to the City.
Zieska: Stated that he is satisfied with intent of what we are trying to do if building is in ground by April 7 and will support
staff recommendations.
Petersen: Noted that approval was granted from the Planning Commission on September 26, and he can support the ex-
tension to April.
Fleming: Asked when Rock Creek plans to have it 50% pre-rented.
Pace: Replied that they were putting their own money in to get to plans, specs and building permits and that, in addition to
paying $15,000 every 45 days, seemed enough motivation to protect the City.
Fleming: Asked why they cannot get construction financing if they are pre-approved.
Pace: Replied the preapprovalletter from the bank means they looked at credit history and were eligible for financing, but
having 50% of the space leased is a condition for lending the money. Pre-approval is for credit worthiness.
Fleming: Noted that a lot of things could change in the financing domain between now and April, and asked how the Coun-
cil would determine the amount of time for a material breach.
Pace: Replied that the City's building official would determine a reasonable amount of time.
Fleming: Asked if the Council had a precedent for this action.
Pace: Replied that this project has combined two processes; the disposal of City-owned property going out for competitive
bids and also assuring the property was disposed of for development rather than held for speculation.
Fleming: Asked if there is recourse for bidders who lost the original bid to declare they could have performed under the
conditions being laid out for Rock Creek.
Pace: Noted that other bids had conditions on them that allowed them to withdraw their bid and the $15,000 returned.
Suggested if the Council is not comfortable with moving forward, the sale of the property should be re-bid.
Fleming: Stated that the Council has done a good job trying to promote development, but doesn't have confidence that
Rock Creek will perform.
Pace: Stated that if they don't perform by April 7, the City will have $60,000 and will start over again.
Fleming: Stated he is not comfortable not knowing why they don't get the space rented.
Pace: Other bidder may have intended to occupy part of the building themselves so could have shown their bank that they
had a tenant or was owner-occupied.
Boyles: Stated there appeared to be two concerns: whether security that is negotiated is enough to protect the City, or the
date of April 7 is too far out.
Haugen: Commented that the negotiations have protected the City financially, but doesn't want to waste unnecessarY time
continuing Downtown development. Concerned that the developer will be able to get money back if he performs by April?,
but the five months would be gone. States he wants to see a successful venture and his concern is that the date is too far
out.
Zieska: Noted that the sale of the property has not closed, and in the original agreement the construction would commence
by November 15. Asked if a building permit could be obtained and construction begun by November 1.
Moore: Replied that it would take at least six weeks to two months to complete the site plan process.
Zieska: Stated the City has done due diligence and any further delays are now caused by developer because he has to
rent space. Suggested that the City continue negotiations with the date of December 1 as the commencement of construc-
tion and suggested possible terms of agreement.
Fleming: Asked why a 45-day block oftime was selected.
Pace: No reason.
LeMair: Stated he was willing to grant two 45-day extensions at $15,000 each. At end of second one, if financing is not in
place and no building permit is granted, we start the process over.
Zieska: Noted LeMair's suggestion was clean and uncomplicated and he liked it. Suggested the clock should start on De-
cember 1.
LeMair: November 1.
Zieska: The City negotiated in good faith but negotiations took longer so would want to allow an extra 30 days.
LeMair: Replied that would place the timing into April.

Pace: Noted that another variable could be the drop dead date to secure a building permit.
LeMair: Agreed because then costs would be incurred that could not be recouped. With Planning Commission approval
last week, it will still take six weeks to get a building permit.
Pace: Restated that if there is no building permit by January 3, the City will redo the process and keep the money.
LeMair: Noted that if the City started the process over right now, there could not be a building before spring anyway.
Haugen: Clarified that the discussion is for a conditional use permit, not a variance.
LeMair: Wanted clarification on how the money is received.
Pace: Certified checks.
LeMair: Noted that a written process should be in place.
Pace: Replied that it would be the development agreement.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECONDED BY LEMAIR TO DIRECT STAFF TO GET A SIGNED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT FROM ROCK CREEK BUILDERS BY ITS OCTOBER 17, 2005, MEETING FOR THE
CITY-OWNED PROPERTY ON HASTINGS AND MAIN INCLUDING THE STIPULATIONS PUT ON BY COUNCIL AT THIS
MEETING, OR THE CITY WILL RE-BID THE PROJECT.
Petersen: Stated that with no developer represented at the meeting, he has difficulty supporting the action.
Haugen: The developer will have two weeks to put together the modifications and the modifications will set January 3,
2006, as the date to have the building permit formally issued.
Pace: Stated she will contact the developer's attomey tomorrow to leam if Rock Creek is interested in moving forward un-
der these terms.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Fleming, LeMair, Petersen and Zieska. The motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of a Report with Respect to Allowable Uses in the C.S Zoning District.
Planning Coordinator Moore noted that staff has considered the request of whether retail and motor vehicle repair would
be allowed in the C-5 district and presented issues and altematives the Council may want to consider. Joe Bendzick was
available to answer questions for the Council.
Comments:
LeMair: Clarified that Bendzick wants to locate to Deerfield and asked if there should be a request to rezone the lot in
which he is interested.
Moore: Zoning a specific lot would be island zoning and wouldn't recommend it.
LeMair: Would like to see them be able to get into the area and seems reasonable to be able to find a spot for this busi-
ness.
Pace: Couldn't rezone one lot unless it was contiguous to similar zone.
Zieska: Would like to see C-5 uses remain as is. Other businesses have been able to stay with the zoning. Bendzick
should look at some of the other lots available in the City.
Petersen: Assumes Bendzick is looking at this area because there is something available. Asked if his business needs
drive-by traffic and noted that current location is industrial. Asked what Bendzick's timeline for relocation is.
Bendzick: May 1, 2006.
Haugen: Asked Bendzick to point out desired property.
Bendzick: Off CR 21, next to American glass. Noted his business does not want outside storage. Would move bushes
and shrubs to this site and make it look better. Building would not look any different than it does right now. Time frame js a
big issue. They do need drive-by traffic and cannot go back into the Deerfield Industrial Park.
Fleming: Asked how excess noxious matter is monitored.
Moore: Complaint-oriented, or perhaps the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
Fleming: Asked if a business located in C-5 could do a good job of managing noxious matter.

Moore: Stated that existing businesses tend to be technology oriented, etc. and don't generally have to deal with that is-
sue.
Fleming: Asked what the plan would be to control noxious matter.
Bendzick: Replied that all used motor oil and antifreeze is recycled - take care of hazardous liquids that way. Smoke is
filtered. Since everything is computerized, scanners reveal the diagnosis rather than running the vehicle.
Haugen: Stated we would like to find something that will fit the business, but this may not be it. Cannot spot zone. En-
couraged Bendzick to talk to Boyles about a couple of other locations that fit the appropriate zoning and the business.
LeMair: Asked if a spray booth is a concern.
Moore: Replied that it is taken into consideration for 1-1 permits.
LeMair: Asked if there are spray booths in the existing cabinet shop or muffler shop in that district.
Moore: Replied that she is not aware of any, but should check.
LeMair: Stated if there is no outdoor storage and everything is self-contained, he doesn't see a problem with doing this.
The location is on the busiest roadway and neighboring businesses are 24-hour operations. Stated he would like to find a
way to make this work.
Moore: Reiterated the four options in the agenda report.
Haugen: Asked about conditions of outside storage and parking of vehicles.
Zieska: Noted that no outside storage would mean that if someone brought their car for repair, it would have to be taken
right inside.
Moore: Stated that in the case of other uses in 1-1, cars waiting for repair are considered outside storage.
Fleming: Asked if the City has denied any similar requests because of standing ordinance.
Moore: Other requests have been for 1-1 district so no other requests have been received or denied for C-5.
LeMair: States he understands that we don't want spot zoning, but wants to look at a comprehensive view rather than deny
it just to follow the rules. Noted that this business is not choosing to relocate, but is forced to.
Haugen: Wants to defer decision for two weeks and fully discuss all alternatives to consider all ramifications.
Fleming: Asked if adjacent businesses were fully occupied.
Moore: Affirmed that buildings directly adjacent are occupied.
Haugen: Directed staff to conduct further research and determine if there is some way that this type of usage may fit..
MOTION BY LEMAIR, SECONDED BY ZIESKA TO DEFER THIS ITEM TO THE OCTOBER 17, 2005, CITY COUNCIL
MEETING.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Fleming, LeMair, Petersen and Zieska. The motion carried.
Consider Approval of Revisions to the Standardized Contract for Animal Control.

ing other alternatives, recommended continuance of the contract.
Comments:
Fleming: Asked what animals other than dogs and cats are managed.
Hofstad: Wildlife.
Petersen: Stated that to start up an animal control service would be difficult and costly, will support this for a year and ob-
serve how well it works.
Zieska: Concurs. Not excited about the rate increase, but is the best deal.
LeMair: Noted we are just learning what a good deal we had with Mr. McAllister.
Haugen: Concurs.

AND CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A REVISED CONTRACT FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES.

County Road 21/ Fish Point Road

mann intersections that could be enacted before 2007 to a City Council meeting sometime in November.
