ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA:
A. (5E)Consider Approval of Resolution 98-34 Authorizing the Purchase of One 72"
Rotary Mower.
.
Mayor Mader asked whether the mowers being replaced were the ones currently being used,
and what the cost of the combined purchase on items 5E and 5F were.
.
Parks Supervisor Friedges said together it was approximately $34,000.
.
Mayor Mader asked if they could continue using the older mower until it dies, since striping
did not seem to be a heavy usage task.
.
Parks Supervisor Friedges said the one currently being used is almost dead. With the
purchase of this equipment, it will be able to handle a lot more use. It can be used as a
lightweight utility vehicle, which can be used for many more jobs.
.
Mayor Mader asked whether the striping equipment could be used for more than striping.
.
Parks Supervisor Friedges said the vehicle has a dump box on it so it can be used to haul
material, and it is street legal. They currently use a pickup and trailer to transport the
existing striping equipment, which ties up a pick up.
31698.DOC

. Mayor Mader said he was uncomfortable with the idea of buying this vehicle just for
striping. If the present equipment works, the City should use it. He said he would prefer to
go ahead with the mower and the maintenance vehicle but not go ahead with the striper.
. Parks Supervisor Friedges said the Parks Department has a shortage of pickups. With this
equipment, they will have another one to assist in daily tasks. It would increase departmental
efficiency because they would not have to lease or rent as they currently do.
. Councilmember Schenck asked how many hours per week were put on the striper?
. Parks Supervisor Friedges said sixteen hours, or two days.
. Councilmember Schenck asked if he would contact the City of Savage regarding a possible
Joint Agreement for striping.
. Parks Supervisor Friedges said he would.

MOTION BY MADER SECOND BY KEDROWSKI TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 98-36
AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO APPLY FOR A DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL
RESOURCES NATURAL AND SCENIC AREA GRANT.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck, Wuellner, the motion carried.
D. (5J) Consider Approval of Change Order No.1 to the Contract for Construction of
Pike Lake Trail to Eliminate a Retaining Wall.
Mayor Mader asked whether the overhead of $5500 was the total overhead cost or a reduced
amount to apply to the portion they are actually paying. It appears the City is paying for the
work the contractor already incurred and $5500 overhead.
City Engineer Ilkka said that was the total overhead including the total wall.
Mayor Mader said so the contractor is getting the total overhead although he is doing a
significantly lesser task.
City Engineer Ilkka said that is what he allocated to the wall.
Mayor Mader said the overhead cost should go down. Why is there full overhead on a
project that went from $93,000 to $7,100?
City Engineer Ilkka said that is not his total overhead on the contract. He said he did not
know whether on his bid he was going to expend that amount on the wall work.
Mayor Mader asked if the work was additional because the wall was being eliminated.
City Engineer Ilkka said yes.
Mayor Mader said elimination ofthe wall was not the City Council's decision.
City Engineer Ilkka said it was.
Mayor Mader said if the project is being scaled back at the request of the contractor, should
they still be paying the full overhead cost?
City Engineer Ilkka said a truer perspective would be a project reduction of $93,000 to
$20,000.
Mayor Mader said fixed overhead is not equitable.
Councilmember Kedrowski suggested that staff go back and ask the contractor to redefine
the overhead costs.

MOTION BY SCHENCK SECOND BY WUELLNER TO TABLE ITEM 5J TO THE
APRIL 6 CITY COUNCIL MEETING SO STAFF CAN DISCUSS THE OVERHEAD
WITH THE CONTRACTOR.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck, and Wuellner, the motion
carried.
E. (5K) Consider Approval of Purchase of Resolution 98-38 Approving the Chevrolet
Suburban to Replace Existing City Vehicle.
. Mayor Mader asked about the existing vehicle having only 41,000 miles and whether the
truck has actually exceeded its useful life. He also questioned the trade in value identified for
the new truck.
. City Engineer Ilkka said the existing vehicle is 12 years old and in terrible condition. He
said he did not know how it was maintained previously, but it is his understanding that with
proper preventive maintenance, the new one should maintain a good trade-in value.
MOTION BY SCHENCK SECOND BY KEDROWSKI TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 98.:.
38 APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF CHEVROLET SUBURBAN TO REPLACE
EXISTING CITY VEHICLE.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck, and Wuellner, the motion
carried.

PRESENTATIONS: There were no presentations.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: There were no public hearings.
9.
OLD BUSINESS:
A. Consider Approval of Resolution 98-XX Relating to the Timothy/Commerce/CSAH
42 Intersection Configuration.
.
City Manager Boyles introduced the item. Scott County asked that the Prior Lake City
Council reconsider the intersection configuration. The City Council supported the as-is
configuration. The developer believes that for safety reasons intersection C is more
appropriate. This intersection does not affect access to Prior Lake businesses. It affects
egress but provides for same access that currently exists. Based upon County information,
intersection C looks to be the most long-lived. The Council has received petitions and phone
calls addressing concerns of residents and businesses in the area. The resolution being
considered provides for intersection C as opposed to the as-is configuration.
.
Mayor Mader said he and Councilmember Schenck served as a subcommittee. They were
unable to reach a solution that they both could agree upon.
.
Councilmember Schenck said he attended the Scott County Board meeting. When Savage
began development plans, they discovered that the first few feet were in Prior Lake, and
31698.DOC

went for consolidation annexation. Their concern was having no control over the curb cut.
Prior Lake held a workshop January 12th, inviting the government from both the City of
Savage and Scott County. During the workshop, there was talk of changing internal streets,
access at Timothy, and a signal at Rutgers. There was no objection from either Savage or
Scott County to the proposed designs. On February 2nd, results of the workshop were
reported at the City Council meeting. The Council held a public hearing on February 17th
and listened to the residents' concerns. Some residents wanted Timothy closed. Rutgers
residents did not want a stoplight. The Council voted to cooperate with the stoplight despite
residents' protests. He said he heard at the meeting last Tuesday that everyone had
cooperated except Prior Lake. One comment was that the developer wanted to place the
stoplight at Timothy. With traffic patterns established, closing any access eliminates
development of the remaining parcels. Why is there a need for a second left turn? What
about the traffic pattern that has already been established?
Now the City of Prior Lake is being asked to pay for restricted access to its businesses. As
part of the incentive for Prior Lake to cooperate, the tax reduction would be $85.
Cooperation with Savage is there. CSAH 42 is grid-locked by signalized intersections. Now
the City knows it can begin CSAH 42 and 18 and is looking forward to developing the area.
If the Council chooses to maintain the position, he hopes Scott County will not pursue it
dispute resolution process. He said he remained in support of the project but not by hurting
Prior Lake businesses or residents.
.
Mayor Mader said he and Councilmember Schenck met on the issue and concluded that it
would have to be brought back to the Council without a recommendation of the
subcommittee.
.
Councilmember Petersen said traffic will increase, and businesses there will have a lot more
traffic going by. If there is no traffic there is no business.
.
Councilmember Kedrowski said he had spoken with a lot of citizens, and taken some offense
to what he had seen in the newspaper. Prior Lake has responded to the issues. At the first
meeting in March, the Council was asked to revisit the issue. He said an example of the
County's past cooperation would be the request by County Market. County Market has
asked for a stop light to facilitate traffic movement and would like to expand. The County
has no interest in facilitating that project. Now the Council is being told to reconsider its
position by the County. The County is asking Prior Lake to retro-fit and is giving no
consideration for the fact that there are already existing businesses and houses. They are
taking land opportunity costs, but who will indemnify the City of Prior Lake if it gets sued?
From a tax perspective, who is paying for the accesses on 42? He said he felt his job was to
protect the Prior Lake taxpayer and business-owner. He said he can't support elimination of
the access.
.
Councilmember Wuellner said he understood it as a public safety issue. There is logic for
having the intersections remain as is. It was suggested that the "as is" intersection had a
useful life of 2-3 years. If it was not a viable option, why would they give it a 2-3 year life
span?
31698.DOC
6
. Mayor Mader said with regard to the comments of Councilmembers Kedrowski and
Schenck, in reading the attitude of the County and Savage, the newspaper implied that the
City of Prior Lake was doing nothing and the others were bending over backwards. He said
he saw the landowner could have three full access intersections from CSAH 42. If that was
done without Prior Lake participation, then the County and Savage are proceeding without
us. The die has been cast and parties are cast in a polarized position. The resolution that was
passed was a compromise. It was done with the understanding that it would be acceptable to
the developer. He mentioned the petition from PDQ asking the intersection to be left as-is.
He said he would support intersection C. He had calls from people who live in the area who
would support it. Another issue is the tax benefit. Whether it is now or a year from now, it
will be developed. In a year there will be separation of east and west bound lanes. He said he
did not think that any Councilmember was acting with malicious intent. Considering how
the tax flows to the County, it appears that the benefits from the development will be more
than what is received from the industrial park. TIP removes the benefit from the taxpayers.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY WUELLNER TO HAVE THE CITY OF
PRIOR LAKE HAVE SCOTT COUNTY, CITY OF SA V AGE, AND THE DEVELOPER,
1) GIVE CONSIDERATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
FOR CLAIMS MADE FOR DENIAL/RESTRICTION OF ACCESS, AND 2) THAT THE
COST OF DEVELOPMENT OF CSAH 42 AND TIMOTHY AVENUE AND CSAH 42
AND RUTGERS INTERSECTIONS BE PAID FOR BY THE COUNTY AND SAVAGE,
AND 3) ASK THE COUNTY, DEVELOPER, CITY OF SAVAGE TO SHARE IN THE
COST OF ALTERNATIVE ACCESS (FRONTAGE ROAD) REQUIRED DUE TO
CHANGES/RESTRICTIONS/CLOSURE OF TIMOTHY /CSAH 42.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said if the City does not take preemptive steps, we are leaving
ourselves exposed. There is no direct benefit to the City of Prior Lake. This project or the
access points are going to be changed and it will impact our business. If alternative C is
chosen, long term should be a consideration; someone is going to have to pay for those
improvements.
. Councilmember Schenck said as a Realtor, one thing we know is that location is important.
If the County elects to restrict access, does that diminish the property value? Those
businesses are convenience based. That is indicative of the type of business we need to
maintain and support. These are the types of businesses that will go elsewhere. These
businesses will pay tax dollars to the County, City, and School District, and there will be a
negative impact to the City. Clearly, Intersection A gives an advantage to Prior Lake, but the
development also has a benefit with the stoplight at Rutgers. Intersection C has a negative
impact to Prior Lake and a double benefit to Savage. The other Rainbows do not have
accesses like that.
. Mayor Mader said he would assume if this goes to dispute resolution, there would be efforts
to compromise. Mayor Mader called the question.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowksi, Petersen, Schenck, and Wuellner, the motion
carried.
31698.DOC

B. Consider Approval of Ordinance 98-03 Approving a Zone Change from the A-I
(Agricultural) District and the C-l (Conservation) District to the R-2 (Urban
Residential) District, Resolution 98-XX Approving the Conditional Use Permit for
121 Townhouse Units and Resolution 98-39 Approving the Preliminary Plat for
"Glynwater ".
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item. The purpose was to adopt an ordinance approving
a zoning change. Second, adopt the resolution approving the preliminary plat and also defer
the action approving the CUP until the developer submits final plans. There was an issue of
conservation of slopes. The Planning Commission looked at it to see if it was in compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 98-
03 APPROVING A ZONE CHANGE FROM THE A-I DISTRICT AND C-l DISTRICT
TO THE R-2 DISTRICT
. City Attorney Pace said the Planning Commission recommendation was for a zoning change
on pages 2 and 3.
. Planning Director Rye said the property was currently divided by the MUSA line. 75% was
within MUSA. The proposed phasing is within two stages. It is appropriate to deal with the
zoning now. The CUP establishes the phasing.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck, and Wuellner, the motion
carried.
. City Attorney Pace said when they do the preliminary plat, it will have a staging plan.
Shouldn't the preliminary plat also have to come back within a certain time period? A
condition of the preliminary plat should deal with a variance to that amount of time, in case
they do not have the MUSA designation.
. Councilmember Kedrowski asked what type of amendment was being added to the
resolution?
. Councilmember Schenck asked City Attorney Pace to add number 5 of the Resolution
regarding the Preliminary Plat.
. This item was moved to the end of the agenda so the City Attorney could review the
resolution.
C. Consider Approval of Report on Resolution 98-40 Authorizing Cablecasting of
Advisory Committee Meetings.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 98-
40 AUTHORIZING CABLE CASTING OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
31698.DOC
8
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item regarding cable casting advisory committee
meetings. Live telecasts of City Council meetings are planned to begin June 1. Beginning
September 1, the City would begin to cable cast advisory committee meetings. This will
allow four months to work out the details of the system before televising all of the
committee meetings. The estimate is that by following this format an additional $720, above
and beyond the $1,200 budgeted, would be required to provide for coverage of the advisory
committee meetings.
. Mayor Mader asked whether this had been discussed with the advisory bodies as to whether
they wanted to be on Cable.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said it was mostly a policy question that the City Council should
make.
. Mayor Mader said these are volunteer committees. It should be discussed with them.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said the EDA and Planning Commission are paid staff members.
It can be a learning tool for them.
. City Manager Boyles said they could adopt the resolution with the understanding that the
committees will be contacted and if there is a big problem with televising the meetings, the
City Manager will inform the City Council.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said they were looking at six months down the road.
. Councilmember Schenck said at a minimum it would have to be the EDA and the Planning
Commission.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck, and Wuellner, the motion
carried.
10. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Consider Approval of Ordinance 98-04 Amending Section 9-4-15 of the Prior Lake
City Code relating to Water Restriction.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY WUELLNER TO APPROVE ORDINANCE
98-04 AMENDING SECTION 9-4-15 OF THE PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE RELATING
TO WATER RESTRICTIONS.
. Councilmember Kedrowski asked whether the City had contacted our legislators regarding a
bill relating to a $2 million provision for a business loan.
. City Manager Boyles said he talked with Senator Robling and Representative Kelso. The
lobbyist hired by the City of Savage found a business loan program, and the senate version
ofthe bill provides for the $2 million. That is no guarantee that it will survive. This is for the
purpose of preserving the fen.
31698.DOC 9
. Mayor Mader asked whether the bill had cleared the Senate and House.
. City Manager Boyles said it has not cleared the House.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said the City will have to go to deeper subterranean aquifers. It
is cost prohibitive. Savage has state money and Prior Lake citizens will have to pay. There
should be cost sharing or something.
. City Manager Boyles said he would contact legislative offices.
. Mayor Mader asked if it was the same aquifer as Savage.
. City Manager Boyles said that it was the same.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck and Wuellner, the motion
carried.
B. Consider Approval of Appointments to City Councilmembers to Serve as Liaisons to
Boards and Commissions.
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item. It was recommended that Councilmember
Petersen serve as liaison to the Parks Advisory Committee, Councilmember Wuellner serve
as liaison to the Library/ Building Committee, Councilmember Kedrowski serve as liaison to
the Lake Advisory Committee and Councilmember Schenck serve as liaison to the Planning
Commission.
. Councilmember Petersen mentioned that he may have a conflict with the PAC's meeting
date ofthe second Tuesday.
. City Manager Boyles said he would discuss this with the Parks and Recreation Director and
PAC.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE THE STAFF
REPORT APPOINTING CITY COUNCILMEMBERS TO SERVE AS LIAISONS TO

~r
. Councilmember Schenck asked what this will do for the City of Prior Lake.
· Planning Coordinator Kansier said Prior Lake will get a lot more useable information. There
will be large scale aerial photographs. Also, the system will create hard copies of
topographical maps. The current ones being used are from the 1960's-70's. The City will
receive the information in digital format and hard copy.
. Councilmember Schenck asked what are the copyrights?
. Planning Coordinator Kansier said the City will be able to sell it to anyone based on a 50/50
profit sharing. The City gets occasional requests from property owners, but most requests are
from developers.
. Councilmember Schenck said so it is the City's right to use it as it wants.
. Planning Coordinator Kansier that is right.
· City Manager Boyles said this is mainly for internal use, but once it is available the City can
sell it.
. Councilmember Schenck asked if there were sectional photos that the City can customize as
needed.
. Planning Coordinator Kansier said they can copy any section of the photo.
· Mayor Mader asked about the issue of sale and distribution. He said he thought he saw in the
agreement that Prior Lake can't make copies or distribute.
· Planning Coordinator Kansier said she understood the City could make copies for sale but
would need to share the profit 50/50 with Scott County.
. City Attorney Pace said the City could recover the cost of obtaining the data.
. Planning Coordinator Kansier said the cost sharing is more of a concern when selling in a
digital format.
. Mayor Mader asked about visibility to two foot contours, and the purpose of developing the
maps.
· Planning Coordinator Kansier said it was a better level than is currently available. They will
be using them for road projects and other City specific uses.
. Mayor Mader called the question.
Upon a vote, ayes by Mader, Kedrowski, Petersen, Schenck, and Wuellner, the motion
carried.

A-l (Agricultural) District and the C-l (Conservation) District to the R-2 (Urban
Residential) District, Resolution 98-XX Approving the Conditional Use Permit for 121
Townhouse Units and Resolution 98-39 Approving the Preliminary Plat for "Glynwater".
. City Attorney Pace said in January of last year there was an ordinance amendment that
provided for staging phased development. State statute said the final plat must be complete
by one year following the preliminary plat. The following proposed language would hold the
official controlled Comprehensive Plan and Subdivision Ordinance that exists today to apply
to the phased part for a period of three years. The language suggested for condition number
five should read "that the provisions of City's Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision Ordinance,
and official controls in effect as of the date of approval of the preliminary plat will apply to
that portion of the preliminary plat located outside the MUSA and referred to as phase 2 for
a period of three years from the date of approval of this resolution." That means with respect
to plats inside the MUS A, it is still only one year.
