th

commercial space, not 20,000. He also stated that Sherman is known as a mixed
use developer.

stated that whichever developer was selected would be good for Hastings and that
they would be willing to work with Sherman, should that be desirable.

thoughts on the issue.

associated with the Amcon proposal. She stated support for Sherman Associates.

focus and be used as parkland.
Mayor Wern~r stated that he did not support an expansion of the TIF district.
He also stated that there are a lot of unknowns, from both developers, with this
project. Regardless of who is selected, the City still needs to work out the details and
retain the ability to back out of the project if necessary. He also stated support for the

possible compromises.

Currency Exchange Application
Counc~il Action Req~Jest~d:
Order a public hearing for December 15, 2003 to consider approving a currency exchange
license.
Bac~kground Information~
The City has received an application from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, from
Wal-Mart to operate a currency exchange business at their Hastings location. While
currency exchange is not specifically addressed in our code book, MN State Statute
53A.04 (s) requires that a local jurisdiction hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution
either approving or denying the request. There is no corresponding City license or fee
that goes along with this request.
Should the Council choose to approve this request, the appropriate resolution and
supporting paperwork will be sent up to the State Department of Commerce.
The Council approved a similar request in 1994 for Dakota Currency Exchange to operate
at 275 West 33~ Street.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Recommended City Council Action
It is recommended that the City Council take action authorizing the appointments of
Richard Welshons, Ron Toppin and Bob Hollenbeck to three year terms to the

Backqround
About one year ago, Richard Welshons, Ron Toppin and Bob Hollenbeck were
appointed to the Economic Development Commission under one year terms. The other
six members were appointed for two and three year terms, in an effort to stagger the
appointments at the inception of the EDC. All three have expressed an interest and
willingness to continue their membership on the EDC.

First Reading\Order Public Hearing - P,ezoning #2003-76 - F-W
Floodway to P,-2 - Medium Density P,esidence - Eastenders Addition -
Lake Street & Fourth Street- John Dwyer
REQUEST
The City Council is asked to consider 1st reading and order a public hearing to rezone
the eastern 3.05 acres of the proposed Eastenders Addition from F-W - Floodway to R-2,
Medium Density Residence. The property is located east of Lake Street and North of
Fourth Street. Plans for a revised Preliminary and Final Plat of Eastenders will brought
forward for City Council Review during 2nd Reading.
Upon approval of first reading, the public hearing and 2nd reading would occur at the
December 15, 2003 Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 6-0-1 (Alongi abstaining) to recommend approval of
the rezoning at the November 24, 2003 Meeting. During the public hearing one
resident had questions about minimum lot size and setback requirements for lots within
the subdivision. Commissioners discussed impacts of the rezoning on the application
of floodplain ordinance provisions.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
Adjacent Zoning and Land Use
The following land uses abut the property:
Direction Existin.q Use Zonin.q Comp Plan
North Vermillion Slough A - Agriculture R - Rural
F-W - Floodway Floodway
East Vacant\Floodway A - Agriculture R - Rural
F-W - Floodway Floodway
South 4th Street\Exist Homes R-2 - Med Res. U-I - Urb Res.
West Lake Street\Exist Homes R-2 - Med Res. U-I - Urb Res.
Existing Condition
The existing site is wooded. The former home and barn have been demolished and
removed. Areas adjacent to the Vermillion Slough below 693.2 are within the 100 year
flood elevation. The site is generally fiat along the proposed Lake Way, with a 25 foot drop
in elevation between the roadway and the ordinary high water mark of the Vermillion
Slough.
REZONING REVIEW
Comprehensive Plan Classification
The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated U-l,
Urban Residential ( 1-3 u nits per acre) a nd is part of the existing Metropolitan Urban
Service Area (MUSA) in the Comprehensive Plan.
Floodway Zoning
The Floodway Zoning District is intended to classify areas below the 100 year flood level
(693.2 feet) to prohibit residential development in flood prone areas. Since the
southwestern half of the property is above the 100 year flood level the rezoning best
represents the development potential of the property. Areas below the 100 year flood level
would still be subject to the restrictions of the Floodway Ordinance.

Consent Agenda Item MAAG Agreement
Attached to this memo please find a copy of a proposed joint powers agreement
concerning the formation of a county wide Mutual Aid Assistance Group (MAAG) between
the City of Hastings and nine other Dakota County communities, as well as the Dakota
County Sheriff's Office.
In previous years the Dakota County Sheriff's Office had their own emergency response
team, the Dakota County SWAT program, and other communities on the west side of the
county had their own SWAT unit called the MAAG team. The decision has been made to
combine the Dakota County SWAT team with the Dakota County MAAG team forming one
large MAAG unit, which will provide greater coverage and resources for communities to
draw upon in a cdtical incident response for their respective jurisdictions. Our department
had previously had an officer involved with the Dakota County SWAT team and will have
the opportunity in the future to have officers become involved in the county wide MAAG
unit. The only two communities in Dakota County not involved with this agreement are the
City of Burnsville and the City of Eagan, which each have their own separate response
SWAT type units.
The agreement is similar to previous agreements signed for mutual aid assistance by the
communities in Dakota County. It should be noted that there is a budgetary impact on the
forming of this new Dakota County wide MAAG team in that each community belonging to
the MAAG agreement will have a yearly fee of approximately $1,500.00, which will be used
to supplement training costs and equipment for the MAAG unit. This amount has already
been calculated into our 2004 police delSartment budget. The agreement was put together
by City Attorneys throughout Dakota County as well the Dakota County Attorney's office.
City Attorney Shawn Moynihan has had the opportunity to review the agreement and has
advised to go ahead and present it to the council for approval.
If you have any questions concerning thisagreement please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.

2004 Proposed Budget and Preliminary Tax Levy - Public Hearing
November 26, 2003
Enclosed are the budget figures as approved by the Finance Committee of the council.
The proposed levy for 2004 is the limit as set by the State. As you will recall the
increase in the levy limit represents an increase of 11.4% general levy and an increase
of 28.9% debt levy for a combined increase of 14.8% from 2003. However when
factoring in the lost state - the comparison from 2004 to 2003 is a .28% decrease.
Please refer to the table below.
Original Proposed
Budget Budget Difference Difference
2003 2004 %
General Levy $ 5,236,927 $ 5,833,713 $
Debt Levy $ 1,295,000 $1,670,000 $
Total Levy $ 6,531,927 $ 7,503,713 $

(994,643) (0.59024)
(22,857) (0.00278)
Due to increases in values, the tax capacity rates will actually be less than 2003. This
means that if the market value on residential property were the same - the city portion
of the taxes would actually be less. However, the County informs me that the average
market value increase is 9.42%.
I have included some data for your information along with a few summary excerpts
from the 2004 budget. Also included is the Power Point presentation I will be using
Monday night.
No action will be needed by the council for this public hearing. The budget will then be
back on the council agenda on Monday, December 15, 2003 for adoption and final
approval.
In the meantime, if you should have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Resolution -Preliminary and Final Plat #2003-70 - RIVERWOOD 8TH
ADDITION - Neal Siewert
REQUEST
Neal Siewert seeks Preliminary and Final Plat approval of Riverwood 8th Addition on 62.03
acres owned b~Advanced Homes Inc. The project is located south and east of the existing
Riverwood 1-7"' Additions consisting of 240 housing units as follows:
· 11 Single Family Lots
· 61 Townhome Lots
· 5 Condominium Lots (168 units)
· 7 Common Ownership Lots
· 40utlots for future development
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 6-1 (Truax dissenting) to recommend approval of the
request at the November 24, 2003 m~eting. During the public hearing Lori Mikel, 1157
Sherman Way, questioned if Hastings was going to limit new development, and that the
community is losing its small town ideas. She added that her family moved to the
Riverwood area when the area to the south was still cornfields, and that she and her
neighbors were concerned about the large developments being approved and the heavy
traffic they bring. Commissioners discussed history of park dedication, and location of the
existing Riverwood Park to serve the residents.

Urban Residential (4-8 units per acre). The Riverwood General Development Plan density
is 5.7 units per acre.
Zoning Classification
The Plan is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned R-3 - Medium
High Density Residence allowing for single and multiple family uses. The applicant
proposes to develop the property as a Planned Residential Development to allow for
clustering of units and preservation of open space.
Adjacent Zoning and Land Use
The following land uses abut the property:
Direction Existin.q Use Zoning Comp Plan
North Vacant -
Future Condo Bldgs R-3 -Med High Dens. U-II-(4-8units)
East Vermillion River F-W - Floodway P - Public

A drainage swale and floodplain exist along abuts the eastern boundary of the property.
The remaining site is relatively flat and treeless.

held in outlots for future development.
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT REVIEW
Phasing Plan
The developer proposes to phase remaining construction of the site as follows:
Unit Riverwood Stagelll Stage IV StageY Stage VI
8th (Stage II)
Single Family 11 0 0 0 0
Townhomes (3-4 61 20 40 32 36

Condominim (24- 168 0 0 0 0
36 unit bldgs)
TOTAL 240 20 40 32 36
Planned Residential Development
Section 10.14, Subd.2 allows Planned P,esidential Developments (PRD) in the P,-3
District. PP,Ds allow flexibility in the applicatio~ of minimum lot size and setback
standards within the development, allow for a clustering of uses and preservation of
open space. The intent is to provide a process, which will encourage the following:
1) Variety: Within a comprehensive site design concept a mixture of land uses,
housing types and densities.
2) Sensitivity: Through the departure from the strict application of minimum lot
requirements and bther performance standards associated with traditional zoning,
planned residential developments can maximize the development potential of land
while remaining sensitive to its unique and valuable natural characteristics.
3) Efficiency: The consolidation of areas for recreation and reductions in street
lengths and widths and other utility related expenses.
4) Density Transfer: The project density may be clustered, basing density on number
of units per acre versus specific lot dimensions.
Access and Circulation
The recent construction of 31st Street, 36th Street, P, iverwood Drive, and Village Trail
provide links to both Highway 61 and County Road 46/47. Most lots are located along
existing streets constructed as part of Riverwood 7~ Addition. The existing Village Way
temporary cul-de-sac would be eliminated with the extension to 36th Street. Woodland
Drive would also be extended further east.
South Point Drive would be platted to incorporate a sanitary sewer line and access road
only, and would be fully constructed in future phases of development. AIl streets would be
public.
Access and circulation is acceptable, subject to the followiqg:
1) Woodland Drive must incorporate a temporary cul-de-sac at the direction of the
Public Works Director. The road will be further extended in future phases to
eliminate the cul-de-sac.
Lot Layout
Lot layout is acceptable, subject to the following:
1) All lots fronting on 31st Street, 36t~ Street, and Village Trail shall be subject to a
35 foot setback, and the driveways must be constructed with a turnaround to
avoid traffic backing directly into those streets.
Outlots
Four outlots are included for future development. Development of outlots would be
prohibited, until replatted as a lot and block of record.
Site Plan Review
All buildings consisting of three or more units will be subject to Site Plan Approval by
the Planning Commission and City Council prior to construction.
Pedestrian Access and Circulation
Pedestrian access and circulation is acceptable. Sidewalks and trails were constructed as
part of Riverwood 7t~ Addition along 31st Street, 36th Street, Village Trail, and Riverwood
Drive to connect the development to the City Trail System.
Landscape Plan ;
A landscape plan must be submitted as follows:
1) Prior to City signature of the Final Plat mylars, a revised landscape plan shall be
submitted identifying the size, species, and method of installation for all required
boulevard and front yard trees, as well as cul-de-sac islands.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Utility Plan
The City's consultant engineer has reviewed the Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and
Utility Plans. Approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat is subject to approval of the
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utility Plans by the Public Works Director, and
reimbursement for any fees involved in plan review as well as resolution of the following
issues:
1) An access road must be constructed along the sanitary sewer line between 31st
Street and Woodland Drive to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director.
Special Use Permit- Floodplain Grading and Development
A Special Use Permit to allow grading and development within the Floodway area of
Outlot B was granted by the City Council on June 16, 1998. The permit requires the
applicant to obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) from FEMA for any
development within the General Flood Plain.
Homeowner Association\Covenants
A homeowner association and covenants must be established to ensure continued
maintenance of all outlots and common areas prior to release of the final plat mylars.
Park Dedication
Based on a prior agreement between the applicant and the City Council, the applicant
needs only pay $612.00 per unit, which is 34% of the $1,800.00 normally required. With
the 240 units in this plat, it equals $146,880.00 in park dedication fees.
When Riverwood 4th Addition was preliminary platted, one of the conditions was that 8
acres of land for a park be dedicated, and the developer and the City decide the amount of
cash required at a later date. The minutes of the June 5, 1989 Council meeting reflect the
approval of a cash-in-lieu figure set at 34% of the current park dedication fees. It was
rationalized that the 8-acre park satisfied 66% of the overall required park dedication, and
therefore the remaining dedication would be paid at a rate of $612.00 per unit, which is
34% of $1,800.00.
Sewer Interceptor Fees
The following shall be paid for sewer interceptor fees
1 ) Sewer interceptor fees in the amount of $78,000 ($325 x 240 units) shall be paid
prior to release of the final plat mylars for recording.
Plan Corrections
The following plan corrections shall be made prior to release of the final plat mylars for
recording:
1) The General Development Plan unit totals must be corrected as follows: Total
Units = 513, Single Family Homes = 28, Apartments = 252.
2) Total Area to be platted must be identified.
3) The block northeast of Village Trail and 36th Street must be relabled Block 4,
consistent with Final Plat.
4) Denote 35 foot building setback from 31st Street, 36th Street, and Village Trail.

Downtown Development Project Committee Membership
Recommended City Council Action
It is recommended that the City Council take action selecting City Councilmembers and
citizen(s) to serve on the downtown development project committee.
Backqround
At the City Council meeting on November 17, 2003 there was brief discussion regarding
the establishment of a Committee to assist the City Council and Housing and
Redevelopment Authority with the downtown development project. In attempt to clarify
the intentions and wishes of the City Council I have had conversations that included
Mayor Werner, First Ward City Councilmember Janette Yandrasits and HRA Director
John Grossman. Based on unofficial direction and discussion at the City Council
meeting on November 17, 2003, action to consider would include the appointment of
City Councilmember Janette Yandrasits and either City Councilmember Paul Hicks or
Lynn Moratzka to the Committee. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority would
also appoint two members to the Committee at their meeting scheduled for Thursday
December 11,2003.
In addition to the members from the City Council and HRA, the intent is to have citizen
members of the Cdmmittee. One member could be appointed by the City Council
(December 1 meeting) and one member by the HRA (December 11). On Monday
November 24, 2003 Pam Holzem from the Downtown Business Association contacted
me to advise that members would be meeting on Wednesday November 26 to
determine who best from their group should serve on the Committee. I advised Pam of
the process spelled out above and asked her to contact me after their meeting. I
suggested to Pam that perhaps the City Council and HRA would appreciate the DBA
"nominating" or suggesting names for consideration of appointment to the Committee,
provided the City Council and HRA look favorably at those considered for membership
on the Committee.
Ideally the City Council can complete its appointments at their meeting on December 1
and the HRA at its meeting on December 11. The next step is tentatively scheduled to
include a meeting of the Committee dudng the week of December 15, followed by a
tentat' date of Ja 13, 2004 for the first neighborhood meeting/open house.

Minnesota was the first state to legislate municipal fluoridation (regardless of community
population size) in 1967 and continues to be proud of our wide spread acceptance of this
equitable, safe, inexpensive and effective public health method to prevent tooth decay.
Currently, more than 3,900,000 Minnesotans are privileged to be drinking fluoridated water in
large part because of dedicated community leaders and the conscientious and diligent work of
their community water operators.
The success of water fluoridation has benefited all children as well as adults and seniors. Thank
you for your part in providing this wonderful public health measure to your Minnesota neighbors
and friends. ~

RE: 2002 Water Fluoridation Quality Award
Fluoridation of community drinking water is a major factor responsible for the decline in dental
caries (tooth decay) during the second half of the 20th century. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) recognizes community water fluoridation as one of ten great public health
achievements of the 20th century. Beginning with Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1945, community
water fluoridation has expanded to over 6,400 water systems adjusting their fluoride
concentration. In the United States, over 162 million people now have access to fluoridated
drinking water.
The safety and effectiveness of fluoridation depends upon how consistently the water treatment
operator maintains the optimal fluoride concentration. To assist state and tribal fluoridation
managers with monitoring the quality of water fluoridation, CDC designed an Internet-based
database called the Water Fluoridation Reporting System (WFRS), which allows managers to
enter monthly quality data for all fluoridated water systems under their jurisdiction.
Based upon data entered into WFRS, your water system is recognized for providing optimally
fluoridated drinking water for all 12 months of 2002. Congratulations! Your dedicated efforts
have resulted in improved oral health for your family, neighbors, and community.
Please accept the enclosed certificate as a token of appreciation for providing optimally
fluoridated drinking water in 2002, and we hope to see you repeat this achievement for 2003
