Melanie Mesko, Administrative Assistant/ City Clerk ( SEAL) This instrument drafted by: City of Hastings 101 4th St. East Hastings, MN 55033 VIII-B-2 Memo To: From: Date: Subject: Mayor Werner and City Council Matthew Weiland, City Planning Director November 28,2001 Preliminary Plat - South Oaks Greg Jablonske has submitted a preliminary plat named South Oaks. The project is located in the southern part of the City (see attached map). This residential project consists of 163 town homes and 34 single family homes for a total of 197 units on 48.2 acres of property. The entire 48.2 acres are currently within the Hastings City Limits and Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). Included with this memo is the preliminary plat, site location map and land use application. Back2round Information: Comprehensive Plan Classification: The property is guided U-I Low Density Urban Residential (1-3 units per acre) and U-II Medium Density Urban Residential (4-8 units per acre) in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The overall density for the project 4 units per acre. This project is consistent with the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Zonin2 Classification: The subject property is currently zoned A Agriculture. The proposed zoning is R-2 Medium Density Residence for the town homes R-3 Medium High Density Residence for the town homes. The .proposed density and housing types are permitted uses in these districts. Surroundin2 Properties: The subject property is adjacent to single family developments to the south (Century South) and the East (Bohlken Estates), and vacant land to the West and north. Site Development Issues: The subject property is served with existing infrastructure that was constructed as part of the Century South improvements Preliminary Plat Subdivision Ordinance Requirements: The submittal provided for the South Oaks Subdivision meets subdivision ordinance requirements for a preliminary plat submittal. Subdivision Desi2n: The subdivision has been well designed with good internal traffic circulation. Site Access: The main access roads through this site will be Bohlken DR and 31 St. Bohlken Dr connects to Century Dr in Century South serving both developments. 3151 St will add a very 1 . l important connection between this project area and County Rd 47. The road connection to County Rd 47 has not yet been constructed through the Riverwood development. The Final Plat for Riverwood 7th was approved by the City but never recorded by the developers. Staff would recommend that only phase 1 of the South Oaks project, identified on preliminary plat, be allowed to develop before the extension of 31 sl to County Rd 47 is completed. The extension of 31 sl will have to be completed upon approval of the Riverwood devlopment or upon approval of phase 2 of the South Oaks project. . This extension of 31 sl could be done by the developer or as a City project. If it is a City project, the City will need to have the 31 sl St Right of Way in the Riverwood 7th property platted by those developers. Streets: The property is served internally by two main roads and private drives. A condition of preliminary plat approval should be that all private drives and related utilities be designed and constructed according to City policies as determined by the Public Works Director. Furthermore, it should be required that the applicant provide evidence that all private drives and utilities will be maintained by a homeowner's association, not by the City. The Public Works Director has approved the streets for the South Oaks project with the following conditions: 1. The ROW of 31 St east of Bohlken Dr shall be increased to 66 ft. 2. The road width east of Bohlken Dr. shall be increased to 40 ft for the first 100 ft transitioning down to 36 ft.. Street Names : Street names shall be added to the final plat. Bohlken Dr shall end north of 31 St and shall be named Century Dr south of 31 sl St. The street names are subj ect to the approval of the Fire Marshall and Public Works Director. Cul-de-sac Island: The plan includes a cul-de-sac which should include an island as required per City ordinance. This island shall be maintained by the homeowners and not the City. A condition of plat approval will require the developer to provide documentation on the maintenance of the cul- de-sac island. Site Gradin2 & Storm Water Mana2ement: . The stormwater plan has been reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director with the following comments: 1. The stormwater plan shall be reviewed by BARR Engineering and any BARR Engineering comments shall be incorporated into the stormwater plan. 2. The Developer shall be responsible for the costs of the BARR Engineering stormwater plan review. Utilities: The Public Works Director has reviewed the utility plans and has approved them with the following comment: 2 1. The developer should have a separate water meter and water line installed for all irrigation systems. Interceptor Sewer Charge: The applicant shall be required to pay $310.00 per lot in interceptor sewer charges, pri city releasing the final plat hardshells. The interceptor sewer charge for this project totals 61,070.00 or 197 units. These fees shall be paid prior to the City's release of the final plat hardshells. Street Culverts: This project will be required to pay a portion of the culvert crossing on the west side of the property at 31 sl St. This culvert crossing is required to connect to the Riverwood Project and on to County Rd 47. The City Council recommended that the costs of these culvert crossings be split between all benefitting properties as part of the final plat approval for Riverwood 7th. The payment of the culvert fees shall be agreed to in the development agreement. Public Land Dedication: The park land dedication for this propertyis proposed to be a cash in- lieu of land at the time of final platting. The reason for the cash in lieu of land is because the area is adequately served by parks in Bohlken Estates, Century South, and Riverwood. There are proposed trail conections to all ofthese parks. The cash in-lieu ofland dedication for this project would be $850 per unit, for a total of 167,450.86. City staff has also with the developer to protect some wooded hillside. The wooded hi SIde would be custom graded to save trees. A minimum of20 ft protected conservation easement should be placed along the rear of the lots 1- 6, Block 1. Permanent monuments should be installed identifying the conservation area. The Developer is also requesting a land trade from the City of Hastings. The developer needs the land trade in order to have buildable lots on the north side of Bohlken DR. The land proposed to be traded was bought by the City through a Federal Program (Lawcon) as part of the flood control project. The land trade will have to be approved by the Hastings NRRC, the City Council, and ultimately by the National Parks Service. The land trade is for equal amounts of land .95 acres from the City and .98 acres form the developer (map enclosed). Preliminary plat approval is contingent upon this land trade being approved, otherwise the plat will have to be modified to eliminate the City property. NRRC Recommendation: The Hastings NRRC recommended approval of receiving cash in lieu ofland for this project. The Hastings NRRC also recommended that park dedication money from this development be used construct a sidewalk in front of existing homes on 31st Street. This will occur when 31 st Street is extended. The Hastings NRRC also supported the 1a.Iia swap proposal with the condition that a 20 ft conservation easement shall be placed at the rear of these lots. The easement shall be planted with a vegetative buffer. Permanent monuments should be installed identifying the conservation area. 3 Trail Connections: The preliminary plat has identified trails connecting this development to the Vermillion River Trail, Century South Park, Riverwood, and County Rd 47.

The builders in the subdivision shall plant "boulevard" trees according to the submitted tree plan and one front yard tree per lot. These trees shall be at least two inches in diameter at the base and the species of the tree should be on the list of approved trees created by the city Forester. An escrow is required for any unplanted trees before a certificate of occupancyis issued for any units without trees is allowed. Flood Plain: A small part of the property is in the flood plain. The developers are proposing to fill this area. This is appropriate based on the flood controls in the area. The developer will have to get a special use permit to fill in the flood plain. Preliminary plat approval shall be contingent upon the developer getting a special use permit to fill in the flood plain. Town Home Site Plan Review - The Town home units for the project will have to be reviewed as part of a site plan review process, before they are approved. Planning Consideration: This preliminary plat is well designed and will add a variety of housing types to the City serving a variety of income levels. The 31 th St connection is a major infrastructure need in the City. This connection will add a local bypass around the HWY 61/County Rd 47 Bridge which is a traffic issue. This project will also add to the City trail system.

Associate Planner DATE: 11/29/01 SUBJECT: Non-Conforming Structure and Setback Variance -738 West 3m Street David and Cathy Maynard are requesting a variance to the Zoning Code, which states that non-conforming structures may not be increased in size, as well as a variance for the sideyard setback of a home addition. They are proposing to construct an addition to the rear of their home. The applicants have submitted a letter addressing th.e reasons for the request. Backeround Information: . 1. Current Zoning: R-2 Medium Density Residential 2. Setback Requirements: The minimum sideyard setback for the R-2 district is 7'. 3. Existing Conditions: The applicant's existing home was constructed in the late 1940's, and currently sits 3.5' from the east property line. 4. Proposed Conditions: The applicants are proposing to construct a 10' by 32' addition to the rear ofthe home. 5. Adiacent Properties: The area is primarily surrounded by single family homes. 6. Variance Criteria: . A. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, ,or building involved and which are not applic~ble to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district B. The literal interpretation of the City Code would deprive the applicants of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of Chapter 10. C. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from actions of the applicant. D. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by Chapter 10 to other lands, structures. or buildings in the same district. No non- conforming use of neighbormg lands. structures. or buildings in the same district, and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands. or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance. 7. Neighbor's Comments: The neighbor to the east expressed concern regarding additional water runoff into her yard, which is a low spot in the area. The Planning Commission recommended a ... condition stating that drainage be reviewed as a part of the building permit process. The other issue was for a tree located on the property line, near the proposed expansion. She was concerned that the applicants would ask her to pay for part of the tree's removal due to possible interference with the new foundation of the proposed expansion. The applicants responded that they did not intend to remove the tree, and that they had recently built their fence to go around the tree, rather than have it removed. The neighbor did state that she had no objection to the home addition itself. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission reviewed this item at the November 26, 2001 meeting.

He has multiple disabilities, including autism, and a seizure disorder. The construction project will be accomplished in two separate phases. As a result of our son's disabilities, it is unsafe for him to navigate stairs, (etc.). Therefore, it is necessary for us to utilize (and, expand) ground-floor space to serve his needs. We currently have a very small bathroom (approx. six feet by six and one-half feet in size ), and two small bedrooms on the ground-floor or our home. It is necessary that we maintain the current number of bedrooms on the ground-floor of our home, in that both of these bedrooms are currently used by other family members. Therefore, we need to: , 1) Increase the square footage of the ground-floor - to double as extra living and/or sleeping space (as needed); and, 2) Enlarge the existing bathroom on the ground-floor - in order to make this bathroom more "disability accessible." To accomplish these goals, we hope to: PHASE ONE: Build a new addition (approximately 10' x 32' in size), adjoining the north wall of our home. This additional square footage would then enable us to: ~ 1) Add a (10' x 20') four-season porch - to be built upon aPRE-EXISTING 42 inch cement block "frost foundation" and cement slab. This 4-season porch would serve as a porch/den; and, provide much-needed expansion (and/or temporary sleeping space) for family members. ~ 2) ''Bump out" the current bedroom located on the North side of our home (increasing the footage in this area by 10' x 12') - which would allow us to MAINTAIN the currently existing north bedroom (by enlarging it outward). [Note: Expanding this bedroom out would allow usto later proceed with Phase Two of our project - which would be to expand the currently existing (very small) ground-floor bathroom - increasing its' potentiality as a "disability accessible" bathroom. PHASE TWO: ~ 3) Construction work on the newly expanded "disability accessible" bathroomt so our disabled son does not need to navigate stairs in order to shower or bathe, etc. ~ 4) Construction work to adapt a ground-floor bedroom for use with our son with disabilities (again, to minimize the necessity to navigate stairs) PROBLEM: . Our house was built in 1948 (prior to the current regulations for proDerty-line setbacks). The existing foundation of our house is approximately three and one-half feet from the east property line. lt' s our understanding that the current property-line setback requirement for new construction is seven feet. . POssmLE SOLUTION: We Dlan to seek allProval from the allPrQpriate Hastings board (i.e.. Planning Commission. and/or City Council) for a "variance" to grant construction for this .vroiect - the {!urDose of which is to accommodate our son's special needs. (We understand that we ,will also need to apply for a building permit). OUESTION: WOULD A <tV ARIANCE" FOR THIS TYPE OF PROJECT BE A POSSIBILITY? [It is important to note that our new construction (as outlined above) will DIRECTLY ABUT the existing foundation, and WILL NOT extend beyond' 0uI- house or foundation as it currently exists]. Time is of the essence in this construction project, so we would like to have this issue come before the Planning Commission and/or City Council for their consideration at the earliest possible date. We are very hopeful that a variance will be granted - so we can proceed as quickly as possible . with the needed adaptations/construction to provide a safe living environment for our son. We obtained a professional survey a few months agOt in order to have a fence built along our property line. If needed, we can provide a copy ofihis survey for reference. We are utilizing using a local lumber yard (D.B.C), local carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc., for this work :, Dave Haviland, of Hastings, is the general contractor. . We very much desire to work with the City of Hastings in order to find ways to obtain a Variance for the new addition to our home. We sincerely thank you for any help.that you may be able to provide. Please contact us at the above address and/or telephone number if you have questionst or if we can provide additional information. , e~4{04J1LUAf A~l-m~ VIII-B-6 Memo To: Mayor Werner and City Council Matthew Weiland, City Planning Director Site Plan - Medical Office Expansion ( County Rd 42) November 28,2001 From: Subject: Date: cc: Regina Medical Center Regina Medical Group has submitted a site plan proposing a 40,780 sq ft expansion of their existing medical center.

VIII-B-7 Memo To: Mayor Werner and City Council From: Matthew Weiland, Planning Director Subject: Preliminary/Final Plat and Master Site Plan -Dakota Summit Date: November 29,2001 CC: Conzemius Dairy Farm Note: This item was tabled at the 11/5/01 City Council meeting through a written extension from the property owner as required by state law. The City Council must act on the plat by their 12/17/01 City Council meeting. The action may be to approve, deny with rmdings of fact, or act on a written extension from the applicant. The developers have since submitted a revised final plat addressing staff and Planning Commission conditions. The final plat should be reviewed concurrently with the preliminary plat. Conzemius Dairy Farm has made application and requested preliminary/final plat approval and Master Plan approval for 29 acres of property located northwest of the intersection ofHWY 55 and General Sieben Dr. A site location map is included in this memo. The preliminary/final plat proposes to divide this property into 2 commercial lots and one Outlot. This proposed development would include a 149,551 sq ft Wal-Mart retail store with a future expansion space of63,000 sq ft, a gas station, and 4 retail outlots totaling another possible 140,000 sq ft of retail space. This project may add a total of253,350 sq ft of retail space to the City. A Master Plan is being reviewed as part of the preliminary plat review due to the size of this project. The Master Plan gives a broad perspective of how the property could ultimately be developed. It identifies possible future uses as well.as lot layout, traffic access and circulation, and parking. The Master Plan will be used as a guide for future site plan approvals. The Master Plan only grants concept plan approval. The Developer will still be required to submit detailed site plans for every phase of the development. Conditions may be attached to the Master Plan approval that will guide future development of the property. Included with this memo are the following: Master Plan, Preliminary Plat, Land Use Application form, and a Site Location Map. Background Information: This is a large project with numerous issues to discuss. The City has already spent a lot of time meeting with the Developers and reviewing the project. Many recommendations and changes to the project have already been made prior to this meeting. This memo will outline and highlight the main issues and concerns surrounding approval of this project. " Dakota Summit Page 2 Background Information Comprehensive Plan Classification: The subject property is classified as Commercial in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Classification: The subject property has been re-zoned to C-4 Regional Shopping Center. The proposed development would be a permitted use in this district.

Preliminary/Final Plat AQIJroval Subdivision Ordinance Requirements: The submittal provided for the Dakota Summit Subdivision meets subdivision ordinance requirements for preliminary and final plat submittal. The applicant is currently proposing to plat the property into 2 lots and one outlot. 1. High School Plat: The Hastings High School Plat shall be recorded before this plat is recorded. Approval of this preliminary plat is contingent upon the recording of the High School Plat. The City just received the final plat hard shells for the high school plat. It should be recorded shortly. 2. Streets and Access: The main access to the property will be from General Seiben Dr. This access will be built as an extension ofthe North frontage through the property from General Sieben Dr to the western property line and doWn to a secondary access off ofHwy 55 (right in/right out). There will be sidewalks constructed on both sides ofthe street. This road shall be platted as a 40:ft public right of way. This road will allow future access to the west ofthis property. It is anticipated that the Developer will design, ffiance and construct this road privately. This should be memorialized in a development agreement between the Developer and City and should be recorded against the subject property. There will also be two separate accesses to 4th St W. All private drives through the project will be privately built and maintained. 3. Site Grading & Storm Water Management: The stormwater plan has been reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director with the following comments: 1. The stormwater plan has been reviewed by BARR Engineering and any BARR Engineering comments have been incorporated into the stormwater plan. Dakota Summit Page 3 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 2.

A fire hydrant shall be placed within 50 ft of the "Y" connection on the rear of the building. Public Land Dedication/Sidewalk Trails: The Park land dedication for this development is $1,500 per acre. This amounts to $ 43,500 for the total 29 acres. The Park land dedication fee for the first phase of the development amounts to $ 33,795.0 for the 22.53 acres of platted lots and right of way. The park dedication shall be paid prior to the release of the final plat hard shells. Outlot A will be required to pay Park land dedication fees when it is platted. Interceptor Sewer Fee: Per City Ordinance, a condition of this plat approval shall be that the applicant shall pay 6 interceptor sewer charges per developable acre at a rate of $310.00 per sewer interceptor charge.

The drainage and utility easement along the southern property line of outlot A shall be increased 20 ft. Road Improvements: The City had planned on resurfacing General Sieben Dr this year (2001) and adding bike trails to both sides of the street. The City has decided to postpone the road construction until next summer (2002), based on the impacts of Dakota Summit Page 4 8. 9. the new retail development. The new retail development will involve a major road reconstruction with the addition oftum lanes and a new traffic signal. The additional right of way needed for the road improvements will come from the Dakota Summit Plat. This additional right of way shall be identified on the final plat as General Sieben Dr right of way. No retail development on the Dakota Summit property will be allowed to open to the public, until the road improvements have been constructed. A feasibility study for the original 2001 road improvements has been completed for General Sieben Dr (enclosed). The 2001 General Sieben Dr feasibility study reported proposed cost shares for the City, the County, and the proposed development property. The 2001 feasibility study will be used to determine the City's and County's cost share of the project. Additional costs and improvements beyond the 2001 feasibility study will be paid for by the Dakota Summit property. The additional costs and improvements include road widening and a new traffic signal. Wal-Mart has indicating in the past that they would pay for the full cost of the new traffic signal. The cost for the new road improvements shall be agreed to in the development agreement. A bike trail was constructed on the eastern side of the road this year (2001) Traffic Issues: . (See Traffic Summary Memo dated 11/28/01). EA W Issues: A number of issues were raised as part ofthe EA W for this project. The main concerns were with traffic and the geology in the area. Dakota County raised the following concerns: The EA W states that groundwater was not encountered in the soil borings conducted to depths oj20 feet. The geotechnical borings were not provided for review. No environmental borings were conducted, and no other environmental investigations were considered. The property's pre-development swface elevation ranges from 920 feet above mean sea level (amsl) on the southwest to 890 feet amsl on the northeast. The estimated elevation of the unconfined Prairie du Chien dolostone aquifer is about 720 feet amsl, with approximately a northeasterly gradient. The EA W does not address the possibility of subswface karst landforms on the proposed development property, such as sinkholes and solution cavities. Although no such phenomena are known to be located on the property, they are known to exist 1/4- mile east at the Dakota County Government Center. Based on the above comments, the structural stability. of buildings, tanks, utility runs, etc., should be evaluated. Surface geophysical surveys followed by ground-truthed borings, wells and trenches may better evaluate such potential site hazards. The developer has provided detailed soil boring analysis which addresses Dakota County's concerns. The developer will be required to address the County's concerns before grading permits are issued. Dakota Summit Page 5 10. Site Plan Review - Future development on the property shall obtain Site Plan approval from the City prior to issuance of any building permits. 11. Outlots: Outlots shall be re-platted before they can be developed. Master Site Plan A:QProval Back2round Information: The concept plan outlines a total of253,350 sq ft of retail space. This plan was created to demonstrate the ultimate development of this site so the environmental/traffic impacts could be measured. The Master plan will be used as a guide to review and approve future phases of the development. The Developer will be required to submit detailed site plans for each phase of the development. The Master Plan is currently proposing the following uses: Wal-Mart 150,000 Wal-Mart Expansion 63,000 Retail Outlots 140,000 total 253,350 Future uses for this site may differ, but the overall site layout will not. Changes to the proposed Master Plan lot layout will be reviewed for its impact to traffic and circulation and its impact to the overall site design. The Master Plan displays a rational layout for this kind of development. This is a good location for this kind of development. Proposed Uses and Lot Layout: The proposed uses and lot layout are appropriate. The retail outlots on the front of the site will buffer and break up both the large building and parking lots. The ponding basin to the north also provides a green space hlJffer between this development as it transitions into the high school campus. Gas Station: The gas station shall be required to obtain a special use permit as part of the site plan approval for the gas station. Zonin2 Setback requirements: Proposed parking areas are in compliance with zoning ordinance parking lot setback requirements Building setbacks in the C-4 Zone District are established through site plan review. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed buildings are rationally sited relative to other structures in the general area. , . Dakota Summit Page 6 Number of Parkin2 Spaces: The Zoning Ordinance requires a standard of 1 parking space per 200 sq. ft. of gross building area for general retail use and slightly different standards for restaurants and gas stations. The developer has demonstrated on the Master Plan that the parking requirement for the proposed uses can be met on site and that the site is not over parked. Traffic Circulation Issues: Traffic Circulation within the site flows well. There is one main access to General Sieben Drive, a secondary access form Hwy 55, and two accesses to 4th St W. The North Frontage Rd extension through the property will allow future connections to the property to the west. The access form HWY 55 will eliminate trips from General Sieben Dr. Trail Connections: There will be ala ft bike trail extended along the western side General Sieben Dr. A sidewalk will be extend~d from the General Siehen Dr Bike Trail west through the parking lot to the front of the Wal-Mart Store. A bike trail connection also extends to the sidewalk in the retail outlot area. Bike racks should be placed at the front of the store.

Memo To: From: Date: Subject: Mayor Werner and City Council Matthew Weiland, City Planning Director November 28, 2001 Traffic Summary - Dakota Summit Prelim/Final Plat and Wal-Mart Site Plan This item was tabled at the 10/15/01 City Council meeting through a written extension from the property owner as required by state law. The project was tabled to allow developers and City staff to address the issues raised in the SEH traffic study ordered by the City. The SEH traffic study evaluated existing traffic for AM and PM peak hours. A major traffic issue was raised by the SEH traffic study that demonstrated the proposed access to the site will not work without further intersection improvements or site plan alterations. Another access to the site may also be required. The City Council directed City staffto work with SEH and the developers on the intersection issues associated with this project and to evaluate long range traffic issues in the area. The developers worked with SEH and City staff to create an adequate and safe access to the site. City staff also evaluated long-range traffic issues in the area. The developers proposed a new intersection design (dual lefts with a traffic signal) and site plan modifications. The new proposed General Sieben Dr intersection was reviewed by SEH. SEH concluded that the new proposed intersection would adequately and safely handle future traffic based on full development (report attached). The report also raised more issues to study. The Planning Committee of City Council reviewed the new intersection proposal and the new SEH traffic study at their 10/29/01 meeting. Many issues were discussed including short and long-range traffic solutions in the area (map enclosed). Short'and long range solutions include new accesses off ofHWY 55. These new accesses would include a t right in/right out into the property and a new full intersection halfway between General Sieben Dr and Jacob Ave. These new accesses would have to be approved by MNDOT. The Planning Committee recommended that City staff work with MNDOT and SEH on the viability of these traffic solutions before the City makes a decision on the overall project. This item was tabled at the 11/501 City Council meeting through a written extension from the property owner as required by state law until 12/18/01. City staffmet with MNDOT to discuss the.proposed accesses and long range traffic issues in the area. MNDOT was supportive of the proposed accesses as safe and efficient methods to address future traffic needs in the area. A letter from MNDOT is enclosed supporting the right in fright out onto HWY 55. The future full acces, west ofthe project, will be addressed with future annexations and development west oftown. The south side of the General Sieben Dr/HWY 55 intersection will also have to be evaluated as part of the future development of the Hastings Marketplace West 1 development. The timing of the traffic signal on Hwy 55/Generail Sieben Dr will also have to be studied as part of the overall intersection improvements. Traffic Mana2ement Improvements: Traffic management for the Dakota Summit project now includes a right in/right out form Hwy 55. This will eliminate trips from General Sieben Dr. The project also includes a traffic signal at the main entrance of General Sieben Dr with dual left turn hines. The dual left turn lanes will allow efficient management of future traffic. A frontage road is also being constructed as part of this project. This frontage road will eventually extend to the west to a future full intersection off ofHwy 55 and eventually on to Jacob Ave. The right in/right out access, the road improvements to General Sieben Dr, and the traffic signal should be installed before development is allowed to open on the Dakota Summit property. The future expansion ofWal-Mart should not be allowed to open until the frontage Rd is extended to the new future access west of this property. Conclusion: City Staff would recommend that the proposed traffic management for this project will be more than adequate to safely and efficiently handle traffic for this project and the existing high school and government center. 2 Hastings Planning Commission August 13th, 2001 Regular Meeting 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing - Wal-Mart Preliminary Site Plan - Wal-Mart Director Weiland presented background information on the preliminary plat, the master plan, and the site plan. Darcy Winter, a commercial broker representing Wal-Mart, discussed how Wal-Mart initially looked at plans for expansion at their current site, including demolishing the building and building from scratch. They are currently looking marketing the site for another user. The current store is simply too small for the volume that the store needs. She added that the proposed layout is similar to that of Maple Grove and Elk River. Greg Frank, Civil Engineer with McCombs, Frank, Roos, and Associates, explained the site access issues as well as the frontage road. He stated that the traffic study shows that the intersection at Hwy 55 and General Sieben Drive, still functions at an acceptable level at full development of the Wal-Mart site, but that the intersection of the North Frontage Road and General Sieben Drive will fail and meet the warrants for a traffic signal. He also stated that extensive soil boring were done on the site to examine ground conditions, and that Braun Intertec, a company that worked with Dakota County and the new high school on their sites with reference to geological issues. Mr. Frank passed out a memo to the Commission regarding Eco-Wal-Marts, and that this Wal-Mart will incorporate all the features listed within the memo, with the exception of the white roof, which is more appropriate for the southern climates. Director Weiland reminded the Commission that there were 3 separate motions for this item - preliminary plat, master plan, and site plan. Chairman Strauss opened the public hearing regarding the preliminary plat at 8: 15 pm. Bernie Hess, St. Paul, Minnesota, a representative of the Food Workers Union, expressed concerns that residents will shift their business from local businesses to Wal-Mart. He sited the web site for the Institute for Self-Reliance (htto://www.newrules.org) for statistics regarding Wal-Mart's affect on other business within a community. He also gave some reason for rejecting the site - that it is not needed, doesn't fit with Smart Growth policies, traffic, noise, and pollution. He also stated that this site will bring approximately 210 multi-axle trucks per week. Bill Bauer, 17970 Joan Avenue, distributed an opinion piece from the Institute for Self-Reliance's Director Stacy Mitchell about Wal-Mart's and the empty big boxes left behind. Loren Flom, 1150 West 14th Street, stated that he believes Wal-Mart is a good store and an asset to the community, but doesn't see the need for expansion. Mr. Flom stated that they currently use much of the parking lot to store garden center goods, and that on Saturday mornings a farmer's market uses another portion ofthe parking lot. Mike Harris, Red Wing, part owner of the County Market store within the Westview Mall, stated he was concerned about the thousands of empty big boxes that are scattered around the country, and the affect that they have on the small communities in which many are located. Tom Diclanan, 1315 Tyler Street, stated that he is concerned about filling the empty building on the south side of town, as well as pushing the existing grocers out of business. Sue Qualy, stated that it seems everyone is more concerned about traffic on Hwy 316 but not with the increased traffic around the new high school. Mrs. Qualy feels that the traffic will constantly be backed up in the area with all the events at the high school. Mary Kocek, 1016 East 3rd Street, stated her concerns with the vacant building on Hwy 316. The City has had several vacant buildings over the years which have not filled quickly. She also inquired about the length of the lease at the new building and expressed concern that the wages at Wal-Mart are very low and are generally not 40 hour per week positions. Harold Featherstone, 1803 Featherstone Road, stated that the proposed Wal-Mart doesn't seem to fit in the area, especially with the water tower that states "Historic Hastings". He's also concerned with blight in the community and would prefer to see shops and apartments above Wal-Mart on a second level. Doesn't feel the tax benefits will be great, and asked Ms. Winter who would be willing to take the existing building. Ms. Winter stated that Wal-Mart Realty company has been in contact with several "category killers", stores that specialize in one type of product, such as office supplies, pet supplies, garden centers, craft stores, electronics, etc. Christine Lindsay, 1481 West 4th Street, asked if when the high school was proposed it was known that there would be a big box retailer adjacent to the school site. She stated that she also tried to get in touch with Senator Paul Wellstone regarding the issue ofWalOMart leaving vacant building in communities, and stated that the State of Texas there are currently 40 vacant Wal-Mart buildings. Chairman Strauss closed the public hearing at 9:10 pm. Director Weiland stated that he would try and addfess some of the issues raised and would ask the Wal- Mart representatives to address the rest. He asked Ms. Winter to explain what would be available at the new location that is not currently available. Ms. Winter stated that the enclosed garden center would incre,ase significantly, adding the tire and lube center, and the vision center. Commissioner Greil inquired if groceries would be available at this site. Ms. Winter stated that they would not be available. She added that 2 different grocery retailers looked into locating in the vacant land adjacent to Wal-Mart. Commissioner Michno asked what the population was of the communities with the comparative Wal- Marts. Ms. Winter stated that she did not know the population of Maple Grove or of Elk River. She also stated that the Hastings Wal-Mart pulls from area communities such as Cottage Grove. Commissioner Greil inquired if the Wal-Mart would pull in residents of Rose mount. Ms. Winter stated that she didn't believe so. Commissioner Michno asked how far apart Maple Grove and Elk River were. Ms. Winter stated approximately 10 miles. \1;", t:r.l'- Dave Si:: Land Use Attorney for Wal-Mart, stated that governments do not have the authority to tie land use decisions to other existing land uses -like tying Wal-Mart's site plan or preliminary plat to action being taken on the vacant building on the south end of town. Commissioner Anderson expressed his dislike of the project, but acknowledged that Wal-Mart is simply doing business. Wal-Mart and Target both like to position themselves in competitive locations. He feels that the issue of the traffic light at General Sieben Drive and North Frontage Road should be addressed up front, with Wal-Mart paying the cost. Commissioner Michno inquired as to the ponds location in relations to the high school, which Director Weiland pointed out. Commissioner Greil inquired of Mr. Hess if he had any statistics on Wal-Mart relocations within the same community, since Wal-Mart has been in Hastings for the past 10 years. Commissioner Greil also expressed concern at the traffic that would be drawn to the west end from the south, but also with the additional housing units which have recently been approved by the City south of the Vermillion River, as well as the traffic coming down Hwy 61 from Cottage Grove. He feels that the site itself is good, but feels there will be too much of a negative impact on the south side of Hastings. Commissioner Twedt stated that he echos the concerns of Commissioners Anderson and Greil. He also feels that this will increase the amount of traffic on Vermillion Street, and would like to see Wal-MArt specifically address the vacant building issue. Commissioner Michno questioned whether the vacant land at Country Crossroads (the vacant area next to Wal-Mart) would work for this project. Ms. Winter stated that it would not work. Commissioner Hollenbeck stated that Wal-Mart is expanding because there is obviously a need. She also stated that the Hastings downtown, in which she owns a business, is a specialty market. She would like to see the site plan as user friendly as possible, with sidewalks and bike racks, but that residents shouldn't under-estimate the businyss community of Hastings. Commissioner Michno expressed concern over Dakota County's comments regarding a leaking fuel tank and possible sinkholes in the area. Mr. Frank stated that the 76 soil borings done on the proposed site were at a minimum of 20' in depth, and that the ground water moves to the northeast, so any pollution at the Government Center would be moving away from this site. Director Weiland stated that traffic was studied as a part of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan process. Connections through the Century South and Riverwood neighborhoods would provide some traffic relief to the Vermillion River bridge on Hwy 61. He also inquired about irrigations systems at the new site. Mr. Frank stated that at the current site there are no irrigation systems, but that one is planned for the new site. Director Weiland stated that an in-ground irrigations system would help to better maintain landscaping, and that the Code Enforcement Officer can be notified of debris problems. Currently the school district and the county object to the immediate signalization at General Sieben Drive and North Frontage Road, b~cause they feel it will back up traffic. Costs for traffic signals are typically assigned in development agreements, and that the conduit for the traffic signal would be put in place as a part of the road reconstruction. Commissioner Anderson inquired as to what kind of material Quik-brick was. Mr. Frank stated that it has the appearance of brick, but looking at it very closely, you may be able to see that it comes in larger panels. Commissioner Anderson inquired if the additional signage shown on the building ('We sell for less' and 'Satisfaction guaranteed') was really necessary, and felt the building would look much better without the additional signage. Ms. Winter stated that Wal-Mart holds their signage very highly. Commissioner Twedt inquired as to the number of actions the Commission needed to take. Director Weiland stated that there were 3 votes necessary: preliminary plat, master plan, and site plan. Commissioner Greil inquired if the Commission had the authority to tie the approval of the proposed site to the existing site. Director Weiland stated that the City does not have the legal authority to place conditions regarding the existing location. Chairman Strauss stated that the Commission could not deny the project based on the movement from one side of town to the other. Residents will still be making trips to that end oftown with Veterans Park, the arean and the like in the area. The Planning Commission's role is not to make market decisions. Commissioner Anderson stated that he would like to amend Condition #21, which deals with the traffic signal, to state that Wal-Mart will be responsible for the entire cost, since their development drives the need for the signal. Mr. Frank stated that the new high school and the future Government Center expansions would also add traffic to the road. Director Weiland reminded the Commission that the preliminary plat doesn't look at the users on the site, simply how the land is being divided. Chairman Strauss suggested that the traffic signal issue be amended to state that the traffic signal will be installed at a time when the County and School District request the signal. Ms. Lindsay inquired whether 4th Street was examined as a potential traffic route. Director Weiland stated that it was studied as a part of the high school traffic study, which concluded that the majority of additional traffic will be as a result of the high school. He inquired ofthe Wal-Mart store manager what hours the current Wal-Mart was open. Brenda Hollerich, store manager of the Hastings Wal-Mart, stated that the store is currently open 24 hours.

Mr. Frank explained that there would be two entrances to the gas station from North Frontage Road, and that the site would most likely consist of pumps with an attendant station, there would not be a convenience store on the site. Chairman Strauss inquired as to the typical size of the outlots. Mr. Frank stated that they were approximately 250' deep by 240' deep, and that the outlots together could accommodate approximately 40,000 square feet of retail/service space total. Ms. Winter added that the outlots will be owned by the Conzemious Dairy Farm, and not by Wal-Mart. Planning Commission Action: Commissioner Anderson moved and Commissioner Stotko seconded a motion to recommend approval of the Dakota Summit Master Plan to the City Council, with the following conditions: " ' 1. Future uses proposed on the site shall be consistent with the Master Plan layout. 2. Detailed site plans shall be submitted for each phase of the project. 3. That the proposed structure and accessory items including, but not limited to, the parking lot and landscaping shall be completed pursuant to the approved site plan.

Motion carried. Site Plan - Wal-Mart Chairman Strauss stated that she would like to see some foundation plantings to break up the big box facade. Her concerns with the parking lots are that there are no median strips to discourage people from driving across the parking lot and not within the drive aisles. She also suggested that for the future expansion areas that native grasses, rather than sod be used to discourage the geese from congregating there. Mr. Frank stated that there is some opportunitY to do some planter boxes along the front of the stor ein the indents. Commissioner Anderson suggested that Wal-Mart ditch the excess signage. Chairman Strauss requested that the native grasses in the expansions areas be added as a condition. Commissioner Twedt reminded the Wal-Mart representatives that many Hastings officials and residents are not happy with this proposal, and suggested that they work to make the existing Wal-Mart site as viable as possible. Planning Commission Action: Commissioner Hollenbeck moved and Commissioner Greil seconded a motion to recommend approval of the Wal-Mart site plan to the City Council, subject tot he following conditions: 1. That the property is rezoned to C-4 Regional Shopping Center 2. That the property is final platted. 3. That the Developer shall incorporate MNDOT's comments into the preliminary plat or site plan. 4. That the Wal-Mart store shall not be allowed to open to the public, until the General Sieben Dr road improvements have been constructed. 5.

Mr. Matt Weiland City Planner, City of Hastings 101 Fourth Street East Hastings, MN 55033-1944 RE: Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) - Dakota Summit Dear Mr. Weiland: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the EA W for the proposed project to construct an approximately 253,000-square foot commercial shopping center. The proposed project would include a Wal-Mart and restaurants on an approximately 30-acre parcel. The site is by the intersection of Trunk Highway 55 and General Sieben Drive. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staffhas' reviewed the EA W for this project. The staff has provided the following comments for your consideration and response in determining the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (ElS) for the proposed project. Traffic ,- Air Quality Impacts An Indirect Source Permit (ISP) is no longer required for the project since, the ISPprogram ended effective Jl:dy1, 2001. ' ';.: A detailed traffic impact analysis was conducted for the proposed development and included as an appendix to the EA W. The traffic analysis identified and evaluated traffic impacts associated with the proposed shopping center. The traffic analysis report recommended installation of a traffic signal at the General Sieben/Wal-Mart access intersection. With this signal, all movements at the intersection will operate at a better level of service. No significant traffic impact~ are expected as a result of this project. The EA W also conducted a detailed air quality analysis to assess carbon monoxide (CO) emissions generated by traffic from the proposed project by estimating CO concentrations at sensitive receptor sites at congested traffic areas near the project site. The analysis assumed two build scenarios, using the years 2003 and 2005 with full development. The results of the analysis showed that CO concentrations are well below that state ambient standards. Therefore, no significant air quality impacts are expected from the proposed project. You may contact Innocent Eyoh at (651) 296-7739, if you have questions about the above comments. Storm Water Runoff As noted in Item 8, this project would require the application for and issuance of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Storm Water Permit for Construction Activity. This project will create approximately 2.3 acres of new impervious surface. Projects that create more than pne acre of new impervious surface require permanent wet sedimentation ponds. These ponds will have to be designed to meet th~ require~ents of the MPCA's permit. In designing the project and permanent sedimentation ponds; thf: post development rate ,of runoff should be equal to the p~e~development rates for the 2, 10, and 100-year storm events. After the stormwater is routed through the ponds, we strongly recommend that it be infiltrated or sent to grass swales or rain gardens. 520 Lafayette Rd. N.; 81.

Our comments follow the sequence of items in the EAW. Please call , me at 952-891-7022 if you have any questions. 9. Land Use The EAW states "There was (sic) no Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) identified during a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment ofthe property (Braun Intertec, April 17, 2001)." While the County agrees that there are no known solid and hazardous waste disposal and/or contaminant release sites...Q..n the 29.4-acre parcel being proposed for development, there are such known siteswithin %-mile to %-mile of the . proposed-development. Dakota County maintains an inventory of these sites but was not contacted by the environmental consultant or its client about the sites, as required. This information will be provided at no cost when a contact is made.. There are three petroleum-related leak sites at the Dakota County Government Center immediately east of the proposed development. At least one leak has substantially contaminated the unconfined aquifer, and it is under remediation at the present time. 17. Soils, 18. Water Qualitv, and 20. Ground Water - Potential for Contamination (The following comments apply to all three sub-sections.) 20. a. The EAW states that groundwater was not encountered in the soil borings conducted to depths of20 feet. The geotechnical borings were not provided for review. No environmental borings were conducted, and no other environmental investigations were considered. The property's pre-development surface elevation ranges from 920 feet above mean sea level (amsl) on the southwest to 890 feet amsl on the northeast. The estimated elevation of the unconfined Prairie du Chien dolostone aquifer is about 720 feet amsl, wit~ approximately a northeasterly gradient. 20.b. The EAW do'es not address the possibility of subsurface karst landforms on the proposed development property, such as sinkholes and solution cavities. Although no such phenomena are known to be located on the property, they are known to exist %- mile east at the Dakota County Govemment Center. - ~~~,,- As noted in the comments on item 9, the original 35,OOO-gallon heating oil tank for the Center was placed in an excavation that turned out to be a soil-covered sinkhole. When the tank and recirculation line leaked, an immediate pathway to groundwater was provided by the solution- enlarged bedding planes and joints. When monitoring wells and a recovery well were drilled to remediate the release, void spaces in the dolostone were encountered. Some heating oil was recovered from the groundwater below, and the remedial efforts continue 15 years later. The potential exists that similar subsurface features may exist on the proposed development property, especially due to .its proximity to the Government Center and the shallow soil cover, which affords little protection. Standard geotechnical investigations of soils arid bedrock do not adequately explore for such phenomena. Also, bedrock structures may be associated with the Empire Fault, a notable fault located within a half-mile east-southeast of the property 1. There may be secondary fa ults or other structures under the property that could enhance bedrock infiltration of contaminants and influence groundwater permeability and contaminant migration. These structures may be related to the Hastings Fault and the Vermillion Anticline 2. Finally, the silts and very fine-to-fine sands may be prone to solifluxion 3 where surface water is diverted and temporarily ponded and/or directed underground through soil-covered sinkholes and sediment-filled cavities. The large surface areas covered by buildings, structures, and impermeable pavement will lead to significant temporary flows and ponding, which may compound such subsurface erosion. Soil piping is wel~documented in some loess-derived silts and till-derived silts and fine sands. . Based on the above comments, the structural stability of buildings, tanks, utility runs, etc., should be evaluated. Surface geophysical surveys followed by ground-truthed borings, wells and trenches may better evaluate such potential site hazards. 21. Solid Wastes, Hazardous Wastes, Storage Tanks If hazardous wastes are generated on-site, the general contractor and the business (WaIMart) may be required to be licensed as a hazardous waste generator by Dakota County (referto EAW Section 8 "Permits and Approvals Requiredj. Contact the Environmental Management Department at telephone (952) 891-7557 for assistance~ 1 The Empire Fault is believed to be located between City Well No.5 and the Government Center in the vicinity of Pleasant Drive, Hastings. Several years ago, test holes drilled by Keys Well Drilling for a new City well south ofthe proposed development and Trunk Highway 55 probed the up-faulted and down-faulted blocks of the structure. Gonsequently, no new City well was drilled in that location. 2 Mossier, John H., 1972, "Paleozoic Structure and Stratigraphy ofthe Twin City Region", pp. 485-497, in Sims, PK, and Morey, G.B., eds., Geology of Minnesota: A Centennial Volume, Minnesota Geological Survey, Saint Paul, MN. 3 Solifluxio'n or soil piping is the subsurface, internal erosion of fine soils caused by steep hydraulic gradients of subsurface water, which leads to the formation of "soil pipes", coalescing of pipes creating larger cavities, soil subsidence, and ultimately catastrophic soil failure (collapse). - -.;~~-- 22. Traffic The EAW indicates that 85 percent of the trips coming to the Wal-Mart site will exit TH 55 onto General Sieben Drive. The Wal-Mart Proposal concentrates customer traffic at one access point, along General Sieben Drive across from the south access to the Government Center. This layout creates a conflict between high volume tl!rning movements that will result in delay and operational problems during the weekday PM peak. The traffic impact analysis gives a detailed explanation of the expected traffic volume for the site during the PM peak. However, it does not consider traffic volumes for the rest of the day, traffic generated from the new high school, expanded Government Center, or future developments. Traffic impacts during the rest ofthe day may be different, as a result of other traffic movements (such as afternoon school traffic, or traffic at the conclusion of County court sessions). The study recommends an all-way stop to handle the delay problems identified with this proposed access configuration. However, driveway accesses intersecting a collector roadway are generally poor locations for all-way stopsltraffic signals because the crossroad only services higher traffic volumes for a very limited amount of the day. We suggest the City should provide more access points to distribute traffic and ,allow better access to the collector roadway, and consider re-orienting the building if necessary. However, there should be no additional access south of the proposed access driveway, in order to maintain proper traffic movements to and from TH 55. The current concentration oftraffic at one access point will be further complicated by future development west of the proposed development. We suggest that providing better distribution of the traffic generated by Wal-Mart to 4th Street would reduce the adverse impact of this development and future developments. The proposed plan indicates that the through lanes shift to accommodate the proposed left turn lanes. We suggest the City consider redesigning General Sieben Drive with continuous or straight through-traffic lanes. We suggest that the City consider making the east/west driveway (parallel to Hwy 55) that serves multiple businesses a city street and serve a frontage road function along Hwy 55. The frontage road would serve not only this prop~rty, but could potentially serve property to the west in the future and limit the need for direct access to Hwy 55. Dakota County is willing to work with the City and the developer to address traffic movement and access in this area. - ~~~"',.... In conclusion, thank you for the opportunity to comment on this EAW. We look forward to working with you and the City on future plans and project reviews. Sincerely. K7~d~ Principal Planner cc: Joseph A.

The Benshoof traffic impact study summarized the trip generation, trip distribution, and capacity analysis for three scenarios of the proposed development. The Benshoof study focused on the intersections of General Sieben Drive with the Wal-Mart access/south access to the Dakota County Service Center (DCSC) and General Sieben Drive with TH 55. SEH independently performed a traffic study for the proposed Wal-Mart development discussed above. Throughout the course of our analysis, differences were found between our analysis and the Benshoof study. The more significant differences were noted in existing turning movement data and the generation of trips in the development scenarios. These discrepancies led to . some differing capacity analysis results that are detailed below. Also noted were smaller differences in trip generation. Finally, the SEH study included both the A.M. and P.M~ peak hours, while the Benshoof study was conducted for only the P.M. peak hour. Existing Traffic Volumes To conduct the necessary analyses, SEH obtained turning movement counts during the A.M. and P.M. peak periods at the north and south accesses of the DCSC to General Sieben Drive on September 20 and 21,2001. Turning movement counts obtained by SEH on September 13,2001 at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and 4th Street were also used in the analysis. The Benshoof study showed existing 2001 P.M. peak hour turning movement volumes at General Sieben Drive intersections with TH 55 and with the south access to the DCSC. The Benshoof volumes on General Sieben Drive between these two locations were much lower than the turning movement volumes obtained by SEH. For example, the SEH count showed a volume of 142 northbound vehicles on General Sieben Drive south of the proposed Wal-Mart access, and the Benshoof study indicated 50 northbound vehicles at the same location. Similarly, the southbound SEH volume south of the proposed Wal-Mart access was 306, and the southbound Benshoof volume was 173. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. Your Trusted Resource Equal Opportunity Employer Mr.' Matthew Weiland October 10, 2001 Page 2 The Benshoof Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), Question No. 22 dated May 25,2001, states that the Benshoof traffic study did not consider traffic volumes generated by the new high school - which opened September 2001. It can be assumed that the discrepancy between the existing 2001 SEH and Benshoof volumes is due to the high school being open during the SEH count. The TH 55 volumes from the Benshoof study were adjusted for use in our study based on the count volumes we obtained along General Sieben Drive and the volume distribution at the intersection of TH 55 and General Sieben Drive. Trip Generation SEH generated average weekday, P.M. peak hour and A.M. peak hour trips for two scenarios of the proposed Wal-Mart development. The first scenario analyzed is assumed to be complete by 2003 and includes a 149,551 square foot Wal-Mart and a separate gasoline sales area consisting of 16 vehicle fueling positions and a small building to house a cashier. The final scenario or the ','Full Development" scenario, anticipated to be completed in 2005, includes future expansion of the Wal- Mart store increasing the building size to 213,350 square feet. In addition to the expanded Wal- Mart store and the separate gasoline sales area, the final scenario included four outlots of which land uses had not yet been determined. For the purpose of trip generation for these outlots, we assumed the same land uses and associated square footages found in the Benshoof study. Weekday Trip generation was estimated using information from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition. The average weekday trips estimated for each development under the two scenarios is detailed in Table 1. The daily trips generated for the development shown above are higher than those shown in the Benshoof EAW. We used the average rate from the ITE Trip Generation Manual to calculate weekday trips. It appears that the Benshoof numbers were adjusted; however, we were unable to determine their methodology. The SEH trips should be considered conservative, representing an upper limit of trips seen on a typical weekday. P.M. and A.M. Peak Hours Tables 2 and 3 show the estimated P.M. and A.M. peak hour trips due to the two development scenarios, respectively. The trip generation estimates in these tables show the number of raw trips, multi-use trips, pass-by trips, and new trips. The raw trips for most of the land uses were generated by applying average rates from the ITE Trip Generation Manual to the land use sizes. It appears that some of the raw trips generated during the P.M. peak hour were higher than those generated by Benshoof. A survey of local Wal-Mart stores indicated that most stores open at 7:00 A.M., with the exception of the 24-hour stores in Eagan and Apple Valley. For the purpose of A.M. trip generation, it was assumed that the proposed Wal-Mart would open at 7:00 A.M. Multi-use trips involve trips that make more than one stop within the same development. For instance, they account for trips that stop at both the gasoline sales area and the Wal-Mart or at trips that stop at an outlot use and the Wal-Mart store. It was assumed that these trips will reduce the number of raw trips by 10 percent. This assumption for multi-use trips is the same as that used in the Benshoof study. Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10,2001 Page 3 Pass-by trips are defined as existing trips already on the immediate roadway network that divert to the new development to make a stop and then continue toward their original destination. It was assumed that pass-by trips would be attracted from both TH 55 and General Sieben Drive. The location of the proposed development and its land uses, the traffic volumes on surrounding roadways and past experience with retail development were used to determine the percentage of pass-by trips for each land. use. The reduction of raw trips due to multi-use and pass-by trips indicate the number of new trips to the surrounding roadways due to the development. We, made assumptions for pass..,by, trips for each land use on an individual basis, while the Benshoof study used an overall pass-by reduction of 20 percent. Trip Distribution The new trips and pass-by trips were distributed to the immediate roadway network based on the existing traffic volumes, population centers, and other land uses in the area. The trip distribution percentages used for new trips are detailed in Figure 1. The pass-by distribution percentages that were used are as follows: A.M. Peak Hour · 3 percent to southbound General Sieben Drive . , 12 percent to northbound General Sieben Drive · 20 percent to eastbound TH 55 . 65 percent to westbound TH 55 P.M. Peak Hour · 10 percent to southbound General Sieben Drive · 5 percent to northbound General Sieben Drive . 65 percent to eastbound TH 55 · 20 percent to westbound TH 55 The Benshoof study assumed that pass-by trips would be attracted to the development solely by way of TH 55. The P.M. peak hour pass-by distribution used in the Benshoof study is as follows: 70 percent to eastbound TH 55 and 30 percent to westbound TH 55. Though the Benshoof study did not assume pass-by trips from General Sieben Drive' as we did, the impact of this difference to the results was not significant due to the small percentages of pass-by trips attributable to General Sieben Drive and the similar splits used for TH 55 pass-by trips. Figure 2 shows the P.M. peak hour turning movements for General Sieben Drive's intersections with the Wal-Mart access/south DCSC access, the north DCSC access, 4th Street, and TH 55. The estimated new and pass-by trips were combined with the existing turning movements to obtain turning movements for the Initial 2003 and Full Development 2005 development scenarios. These turning movements differ from those P.M. turning movements in the Benshoof report due to two primary reasons; the aforementioned difference in existing 2001 volumes and difference in trip generation. Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10, 2001 Page 4 The A.M. peak hour turning movements for General Sieben Drive's intersections with the Wal-Mart access/south DCSC access, the north DCSC access and 4th Street were arrived at in a similar manner to the P.M. peak hour turning movements (Figure 3). We did not have existing A.M. peak hour taming movements for the intersection of TH 55 and General Sieben Drive. At this intersection Figure 3 shows only the turning movement volumes due to the development. Capacity Analysis The intersections were analyzed to determine the impacts of the development traffic on intersection operations. Capacity analysis is the evaluation of roadway operations and the resulting level of service JLOS) is the measure. The LOS of an intersection is graded on a score of "A" (best) to "F' (worst). Most major roadways in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area typically operate at levels of service in the range of "D" to "E" during evening rush hours. LOS "D" is generally accepted for design of intersections. Capacity analyses were performed using HCS2000 and Synchro software packages. Both packages use the methods outlined in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Capacity analyses were conducted for the A.M. and P.M. peak hours for existing, 2003, and 2005 scenarios as described previously in this document. The following intersections were analyzed: · General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access/south DCSC access · General Sieben Drive and the north DCSC access · General Sieben Drive and 4th Street The LOS results are detailed in Table 4 and Table 5 Existing The existing turning movement volumes, control, and geometrics were used to determine the existing LOS at the three intersections noted above during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. Each of the three intersections is currently controlled by stops on the east/west street approaches - two-way stop controlled. It should be noted that the HCM does not define intersection wide delay for two- way stop controlled intersections, but rather indicates the need to examine the individual movements. As detailed in Tables 4 and 5, all movements at each of the three intersections operate at an acceptable LOS "C" or better during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. The intersection of General Sieben Drive and 4th Street was. also analyzed as an all-way stop controlled intersection with the existing turning movement volumes for both peak hours. The City of Hastings had expressed concern regarding the adequacy of the existing two-way stop control at the intersection, and asked SEH to conduct a site review and analyses; The concern was based on a perceived lack of sight distance for 4th Street traffic and pedestrians wishing to access or cross General Sieben Drive leading those concerned to inquire about more restrictive measures of intersection control. In a September 21, 2001 letter, SEH recommended that the intersection control be changed to an all-way stop control based on the limits of sight distance on 4th Street, the high speed of traffic on General Sieben Drive, concerns over safe pedestrian crossing at the intersection, and the probability of continuing traffic volume increases. Under existing volumes and all-way stop control, the intersection operates at an acceptable LOS . "A" during the P.M. peak hour and at an acceptable LOS "B" during the A.M. peak hour (Tables 4 and 5). Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10,2001 Page 5 2003 The 2003 turning movement volumes include the proposed Wal-Mart and gasoline sales trips. These volumes and existing control and geometrics were used to determine the 2003 LOS at the three intersections noted above during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. Two-Way Stop Control As noted above, each of the three intersections is currently two-way stop controlled. Tables 4 and 5 show that all movements at the intersections of General Sieben Drive and the north DCSC access, and General Sieben Drive and 4th Street operate at acceptable LOS "C" or better during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. The tables also show that operations at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the W al- Mart/south DCSC access deteriorate with the addition of the 2003 development volumes and the west leg to the intersection (development access). The new approach (eastbound) to the intersection is assumed to have a shared left/through lane and a dedicated right turn lane. The shared left/through lane operates at LOS "F", during the P.M. peak hour. The single lane westbound approach (DCSC access) to the intersection also operate~ at LOS "F" during the P.M. peak hour. Each of these movements has similar volumes - the eastbound shared left/through lane is at 62 vehicles, and the westbound shared left/through/right lane is at 57 vehicles. Table 4 shows that mitigating the geometrics at the two-way stop controlled intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access does not improve the LOS for vehicles turning left onto General Sieben Drive from the westbound approach, nor for left or through destined vehicles from the eastbound approach. Each of these movements maintains a LOS "F" during the P.M. peak hour. The geometrics assumed for mitigation were those recommended in the Benshoof study. The tables also show that the addition of a southbound left turn lane to General Sieben Drive approach to the north DCSC access did not impact the LOS of the intersection movements, all of which maintain the same LOS as found under existing geometry. The Benshoof study shows that during the P.M. peak hour the only intersection movements that will operate worse than LOS "C" are the westbound left arid through movements. The difference between the Benshoof and SEH analysis is due to the higher volumes generated by SEH for the development and the higher existing volumes counted at the intersection by SEH. All-Way Stop Control The change to an all-way stop at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access does improve the LOS for the side street movements with each movement operating at LOS "C" or better during both peak hours. However, the all-way stop adds delay to the previously unrestricted northbound and southbound through and right turn movements. Though they remain at acceptable LOS's under both peak hours, it should be noted that the heavy northbound through volume during the A.M. peak hour drops to a LOS "D" due to the all-way stop. This is a res~lt of the peak hours of the two main existing entities in this area - Hastings High School and DCSC. - coinciding during the morning rush hour, creating a large northbound volume (578 vehicles prior to any development). It should also be noted that Table 4 shows that the northbound Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10,2001 Page 6 left turn movement (385 vehicles) operates at LOS "D" under all-way stop control during the P.M. peak hour. The intersection operates at LOS "B" as an all-way stop controlled intersection according to the Benshoof study during the P.M. peak hour. Rather than by individual turning movement, the Benshoof study reports the approach LOS for all..;way stop controlled intersections. Based on the approach LOS's as they compare to the movement LOS values in Table 4 and 5, it appears that the reason for the difference between the Benshoof and SEH analysis is again due to the higher volumes generated by SEH for the development and the higher existing volumes counted at the intersection by SEH. Under 2003 volumes and all-way stop control, the intersection of General Sieben Drive and 4th Street operates at an acceptable LOS "A" during the P.M. peak hour and at an acceptable LOS "B" during the A.M. peak hour (Tables 4 and 5). Ex.isting geometrics were used for analysis of the intersection of General Sieben Drive and 4th Street. . 2005 The 2005 turning movement volumes include the full development trips due to the proposed Wal- Mart expansion, gasoline sales, and the outlots. These volumes were used in conjunction with various intersection controls and geometric schemes to determine the 2005 LOS at the three intersections during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. Two-Way Stop Control Each of the three intersections was fIrst analyzed as two-way stop controlled. Existing geometries were used for analysis at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and 4th Street, of which all movements operated at an acceptable LOS "C" or better during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours (Tables 4 and 5). The recommended geometrics from the Benshoof study were used for the analysis at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the north DCSC access. The LOS for all movements at this intersection was at an acceptable LOS "C" or better during both peak hours (Tables 4 and 5). Operations deteriorated at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Martlsouth DCSC access with the addition of the 2005 full development volumes. The same geometrie mitigation recommended by Benshoof were made for the intersection. However, the increased volumes caused the LOS of additional movements to fall below LOS "D" for both peak hours. The eastbound shared left/through lane operates at LOS "F" during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. The westbound left turn also operates at LOS "F" during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. The westbound shared through/right lane operates at LOS "E" during the P.M. peak hour (Table 4). Similarly, the Benshoof study shows that during the P.M. peak hour the eastbound and westbound movements deteriorate to LOS "F'. The City requested additional capacity analysis at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Martlsouth DCSC access. The request was that the east leg of the intersection, the south DCSC access, be treated as an entrance only and also as a right-inJright-out. Restricting egress and access at this location shifted the volumes currently exiting from the south DCSC access to the north Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10,2001 Page 7 DCSC access. Table 6 shows the results of the capacity analysis for the 2005 volumes during the P.M. and AM.' peak hours. Analysis of the intersection as two-way stop controlled during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours showed no change in the LOS for each movement from the 2005 analysis with the existing unrestricted access/egress. All-Way Stop Control The change to an all-way stop at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access does improve the LOS for most of the side street movements with all but one movement operating at LOS "B" or better during both peak hours. However, the delay that the all- way stop adds to the northbound and southbound movements deteriorates overall intersection operations to LOS "P" during the P.M. peak hour and LOS "D" during the A.M. peak hour. The existing heavy northbound volume due to the Hastings High School and DCSC (578 vehicles) during the AM. peak hour drops the northbound through and right movements to LOS "P" at the all-way stop. Table 4 shows that the P.M. peak hour northbound left turn movement (611 vehicles) operates at LOS "F' and the southbound through and right turning movements operate at LOS "D" under all-way stop control. Similarly, the Benshoof study shows that during the P.M. peak hour the overall intersection operations deteriorate to LOS "F'. Using 2005 volumes and all-way stop control, the intersection of General Sieben Drive and 4th Street operates at an acceptable LOS "A" during the P.M. peak hour and at an acceptable LOS "B" during the AM. peak hour (Tables 4 and 5). The intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access was analyzed with all-way stop control for the city requested entrance only and right-inlright-out on the east leg. Table 6 shows the results of the capacity analysis. The all-way stop control analysis did not change the overall intersection LOS from the 2005 analysis with the existing unrestricted access/egress during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours. Some individual movements improved, however the improvement. was minimal and did not improve the overall intersection LOS. Signal Due to the unacceptable LOS's under two-way and all-way stop control at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access with the addition of the 2005 full development volumes, the intersection was analyzed as a signalized intersection. The mitigated geometries described above were used at the intersection for the signalized analysis. In the initial P.M. peak hour analysis, the General Sieben Drive left turns were treated as permissive/protected phasing, similar to the General Sieben Drive phasing at TH 55. The phasing on the side streets was initially treated as permissive. The initial analysis for the P.M. peak hour showed an intersection LOS "P". This was primarily due to the large eastbound right turn out of the development onto southbound General Sieben Drive (598 vehicles) that experienced excessive delay under permissive phasing. The phasing for the eastbound right turn was changed to Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10,2001 Page 8 permissive/overlap phasing. This means that the eastbound right turn had a protected phase during the northbound left turn's protected phase and was also able to proceed during the permissive phase for eastbound and westbound traffic thus providing more green time to the heavy eastbound right turn. The P.M. peak hour intersection LOS under this phasing scheme improved to an acceptable LOS "B". The intersection operated at acceptable LOS during the A.M. peak hour. The intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access was also analyzed with signalized control for the city requested entrance only and right-inlright-out on the east leg. The analysis showed results similar to those results from the 2005 analysis with the existing unrestricted access/egress. The P.M. and A.M. analysis showed improvement from LOS "B" to LOS "A" under both the entrance only and right-inlright-out scenarios despite the minimal improvements to individual movement LOS's (Table 6). However the P.M. peak hour analysis showed a decline in intersection LOS under the right-inlright-out scenario from LOS "B" to LOS "C". Though the analysis of the intersection with a signal and the access/egress restrictions shows some differing results from the above analysis with unrestricted access/egress, the changes are minimal. The reason for this is that the movements to and from the south DCSC access are not as critical as other movements at the intersection. The critical intersection movements are the northbound left and through, the southbound through, and the eastbound movements. These movements typically experience higher volumes and have a greater impact to the LOS of the intersection. Despite the improved LOS due to installing a signal, some operational issues of concern remain at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access. The large number of northbound left turning vehicles during the P.M. and A.M. peak hours - 611 and 336, respectively - indicates a potential storage and back-up problem. The Benshoof study recommends a 200-foot northbound left turn lane. At the speed of General Sieben Drive a typical rule of thumb for design is that a single 250-foot left turn lane has capacity for approximately 300 vehicles per hour. The generated volumes exceed this amount and the left turn lane itself is likely not long enough at 200 feet.' In reviewing the northbound lefts generated by Benshoof for 2005 during the P.M. peak hour, which are less than the SEH volumes (519 versus 611), it is apparent that a northbound left storage problem will exist at 2005 Full Development. Dual left turns would not be , recommended at this location due to the current proposed site and frontage road layout. As noted in the Benshoof EA W the majority of the site traffic will enter the site at the General Sieben Drive access as the two accesses located on 4th Street at the rear of the Wal-Mart building are oriented to delivery traffic. This concentration of the proposed development traffic at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access will create the operational problems as discussed above. The current site plan should be reviewed to provide the proposed and possible future development traffic with less concentrated access and it.is likely the Wal-Mart building and site will need to be reoriented to provide better access, site circulation, and roadway operations. Mr. Matthew Weiland October 10,2001 Page 9 Conclusions and Recommendations Trip Generation . SEH turning movement counts were higher than those reported in the Benshoof EA W since the high school is now open. . The SEH trip generation for the proposed development is somewhat higher than the trip generation reported in the Benshoof EAW due to a variation in assumptions. Capacity Analysis - Existing Traffic Volumes · With the existing traffic volumes, two-way stop control is sufficient at all the intersections along General Sieben. Capacity Analysis - Year 2003 Traffic Volumes plus Partial Development . Two-way stop control is insufficient at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal- Mart/south DCSC access with the higher 2003 traffic volumes despite geometric mitigation. It is likely that all-way stop control would be insufficient due to the heavy northbound movements during the A.M. peak hour. However, if used as an interim measure, all-way stop control should be installed in conjunction with the mitigated geometrics used in the analysis. In addition, traffic volumes should be monitored to ensure that operations and safety are at satisfactory levels. Capacity Analysis - Year 2005 Traffic Volumes plus Full Development · Both two-way stop and all-way stop control are insufficient at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access with full development 2005 traffic volumes. A traffic signal is needed at General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access if the site remains as shown in the Benshoof EA W. The mitigated geometrics used in the analysis should be included as part of signal installation. In addition, the length of the northbound left turn lane would need to be increased from that shown in the Benshoof study to accommodate the heavy traffic volume. It is likely a signal would need special phasing and need to be coordinated with the signal at TH 55 to mitigate the heavy northbound left turn movement into the Wal-Mart site and heavy eastbound right turn movement out of the Wal-Mart site. . Two special scenarios were analyzed that modified traffic from the DCSC opposite the Wal- Mart access. These included no egress for the south DCSC access and a right-inlright-out at the south DCSC access. Both options show little significant change to the traffic operations since the affected volumes are low. · As recommended in the Benshoof EA W, we concur that the Wal-Mart should be reoriented on the site to provide less concentrated access and improve traffic operations at the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart/south DCSC access.

SEH No. A-HASTI0202.00 As we discussed earlier today, following are the results of our updated analysis for the proposed Wal-Mart site in Hastings, Minnesota. The original analysis is detailed in the letter to the City, dated October 10, 2001. The updated analysis was perlormed for the 2005 Full Build-Out Scenario during the p.m. peak hour. Trip generation was adjusted from our previous analysis to, reflect the following changes: · The gas station was analyzed with 12 pumps instead of16 pumps. .Wal-Mart was analyzed as a 24-hour super center, which includes a grocery instead of as a free standing discount center which does not include a grocery. The changes decreased the overall trip generation during the p.m. peak hour by a total of 218 trips. These trips were subtracted from the original trip distribution. This resulted in a reduction of 128 northbound left-turn movements from General Sieben Drive into the Wal-Mart site (from 611 vehicles in the previous analysis to 483 vehicles in the updated analysis). The attached sketch shows the remaining updated turning movements. Capacity and simulation analyses were conducted to detennine the appropriate geometrics for General Sieben Drive at the Wal-Mart access and at Trunk Highway 55 (TH 55). The existing signal timing at the intersection of TH 55 and General ,Sieben Drive was used for these analyses. Of concern were the number and length of left-turn ~anes needed for northbound General Sieben Drive into the Wal-Mart site and southbound General Sieben Drive at TH 55. The distance between these intersections is approximately 575 feet.' The attached table summarizes the findings of the capacity and simulation analyses. Scenario 3 used single left-turn lanes at each location as .shown in the original Benshoof report dated May 24,2001. The simulation showed that the southbound left-turn lane at TH 55 backed-up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access. The single northbound left into the Wal-Mart site also filled storage capacity. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. Your Trusted Resource Equal Opportunity Employer Wal-Mart October 29, 2001 Page 2 Adding dual left-turn lanes to either approach would increase the length of the taper required to transition traffic. Using a typical 10: 1 taper would require approximately 240 feet for the taper. This leaves 335 feet for the left" turn lanes at both intersections. Scenario 4 shows 200-foot northbound dual left-turn lanes into the Wal-Mart site, which is consistent with the most recent Benshoof sketch dated October 16, 2001. These lengths for the taper and the northbound dual left-turn lanes into the Wal-Mart site leave only 135 feet for the southbound left-turn lane onto TH .55. The analysis showed that the 135-foot southbound left-turn lane backed:-up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access. Using a less conservative 8: 1 taper left approximately 180 feet for the southbound left-turn lane which the simulation showed still backed up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access (Scenario 4b). The minimum taper of 5:1, showed on the October 16, 2001 Benshoof sketch, was used to determine whether or not a single southbound left-turn lane onto TH 55 would b;:ick-up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access (Scenario 4c). This taper length (120 feet) left approximately 250 feet for the southbound 'left-turn lane. The simulation showed thatthe single southbound left-turn lane again backed-up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access. Finally, we provided a 350-foot single left turn-lane onto TH 55 to learn if that length would support a single left-tun lane. Again, the volume backed-up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access (Scenario 4d). Thus regardless of the taper length used, the analysis of the current site plan showed that dual lefts will be required for northbound General Sieben Drive into the Wal-Mart site and southbound General Sieben Drive at TH 55. Scenarios 5, 5b and 5c showed that the three taper lengths used above would not cause the southbound left-turn lane onto TH 55 to back-up into the intersection of General Sieben Drive and the Wal-Mart access. More information regarding the potential development on the south side of TH 55 should be considered to determine the exact timing and storage that should be allocated to the southbound dual left turn lanes on General Sieben Drive at TH 55. Also, the level of service (LOS) for the eastbound left on TH 55 should be considered in developing a . timing plan and determining the storage length for the dual southbound left-turn lanes. It is at LOS E under the current timing as shown on the attached table and it should be improved to LOS D at a minimum. ' Additional concerns regarding the geometry shown on the Benshoof sketch dated October 16, 2001 are as follows: · We would recommend a four-foot median be installed between the southbound left-turn lane and the northbound through lane on General Sieben Drive at TH 55. This will better define the entrance for inbound traffic since there are potentially three to four lanes devoted to outbound traffic and only one lane devoted to inbound traffic. Our experience .' Wal-Mart October 29,2001 Page 3 has shown this disproportion of lanes to cause confusion for the inbound driver. A median better defines the inbound lane. · The'southbound through lane on General Sieben Drive between the Wal-Mart access and TH 55 transitions into a right-tun lane at TH 55~ This needs to be changed such that the southbound through lane remains a through lane. · The location of the first access to the Wal-Mart parking area on the site plan does not provide adequate sight distance for southbound traffic exiting the parking area. This access should be moved further west to provide, the necessary sight distance across the two inbound lanes of traffic. Winter conditions should also be considered for design of the access to provide adequate sight distance around plowed snow. · The geometry on General Sieben Drive on the south side of TH 55 should be checked to determine how it lines up with that proposed for the north side of TH 55. hnk Attachments c: Greg Prank, McCombs Prank Roos Associates' Ed Terhaar, Benshoof & Associates, Inc. \\spfiles3\lransll projec.lf-j\haslings\0202,QO\word\melOO-weilan<\10-29_01.doc Map..

As per our meeting on November 7, 2001, MnlDOT fmds the proposed Trunk Highway 55 access to the Wal-Mart site (located 1/4 mile west ofthe General Sieben Drive signal) to be acceptable. The construction of a right turn lane is required, as illustrated on the proposed plans, on Trunk Highway 55 for the proposed access. Please note that this improvement is development driven and is, therefore, the financial responsibility ofthe City or the developer or both. Any use of or work within Mn/DOT right of way will require a pennit. Please direct questions regarding permit applications and submittal requirements to Keith Van Wagner (651-582-1443) ofMnlDOT's Permits section. Please address all future correspondence for development activity such as plats, site plans, environmental reviews, and comprehensive plan amendments to: Paul Czech MnlDOT - Metro Division Waters Edge 1500 West County Road B-2 Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Mn/DOT document submittal guidelines require three (3) complete copies of plats and two (2) copies of other review documents including site plans. Failure to provide three (3) copies of a plat and/or two (2) copies of other review documents will make a submittal incomplete and delay MnlDOT's review and response to development proposals. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in providing the necessary number of copies, as this will prevent us from having to delay and/or return incomplete submittals.

D !.0 '-0 D d~ VIII-B-8 Memo To: Mayor Wemer and City Council From: Matthew Weiland, City Planning Director Subject: Site Plan Review - Wal-Mart Date: November 29,2001 cc: Greg Frank Note: This item was tabled at the 11/5/01 City Council meeting through a written extension from the property owner as required by state law. The item was tabled to allow City staff and the developer to meet with MNDOT to discuss future accesses off of HWY 55. Wal-Mart has made application and requested site plan approval for the construction of a new 149,551 sq ft Wal-Mart Store on 23.64 acres of property located North of Highway 55 where it intersects General Sieben Dr. A site location-map is included in this memo. The Wal-Mart Store would include a garden center, a tire and lube center, and a gas station. A Master Plan and Preliminary/final Plat are also being reviewed for this property. Approval ofthe Wal-Mart Site Plan will be contingent upon the approvals of these items. Some of the information included in this memo was also included in the memo pertaining to the Master Plan and Preliminary Plat. This memo will also focus on Wal-Mart specific related issues. Included with this memo are the following: Site Plan, Preliminary Plat, Land Use Application form, and a Site Location Map. Background Information: Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is guided for Commercial use in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Wal-Mart Store development is a consistent and permitted use for this land use. Zonin2 Classification: The subject property has been re-zoned to C-4 Regional Shopping Center. The proposed development would be a permitted use in this district. Surroundin2 Properties: The new Hastings High School is being built north of this property, the Dakota County Government Center is located east of the property, vacant farm land is located to the west, and HWY 55 is located to the south. Zonin2 Setback requirements: Proposed parking areas are in compliance with zoning ordinance parking lot setback requirements (10' minimum front/back and from residential uses). Building Wal-Mart Page 2 August 16,2001 setbacks in the C-4 Zone District are established through site plan review. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed building is rationally sited relative to other structures in the general area. The proposed uses and lot layout are appropriate. The retail outlots on the front of the site will buffer and break up both the large building and parking lots.' The ponding basin to the north also provides a green space buffer between this development as it transitions into the high school campus. Number of Parkin2 Spaces: The Zoning Ordinance standard of 1 parking space per 200 sq. ft. of gross building area for general retail use would translate into a need for 748 parking spaces. The applicant is providing 717 regular stalls and 12 handicap stalls for a total of 729 stalls. Staff would recommend that this number of parking spaces is adequate for the development at this time. There is plenty of expansion area left for future parking. Traffic Circulation Issues: : Traffic Circulation within the site flows welL Traffic flows from the rear of the parking lot and around the building. Traffic is not directed to the front of the store where the main entrance is located. There is one main access to General Sieben Drive, a secondary access form Hwy 55, and two accesses to 4th St W. The North Frontage Rd extension through the property will allow future connections to the property to the west. The access form HWY 55 will eliminate trips from General Sieben Dr. Road Improvements: The City had planned on resurfacing General Sieben Dr this year (2001) and adding bike trails to both sides of the street. The City has decided to postpone the road construction until next summer (2002), based on the impacts ofthe new retail development. The new retail development will involve a major road reconstruction with the addition of turn lanes and a new traffic signal. The additional right of way needed for the road improvements will come from the Dakota Summit Plat. This additional right of way shall be identified on the final plat as General Sieben Dr right of way. No retail development on the Dakota Summit property will be allowed to open to the public, until the road improvements have been constructed. A feasibility study for the original 2001 road improvements has been completed for General Sieben Dr (enclosed). The 2001 General Sieben Dr feasibility study reported proposed cost shares for the City, the County, and the proposed development property. The 2001 feasibility study will be used to determine the City's and County's cost share of the project. Additional costs and improvements beyond the 2001 feasibility study will be paid for by the Dakota Summit property. The additional costs and improvements include road widening and a new traffic signal. Wal-Mart has indicating in the past that they would pay for the full cost of the new traffic signal. The cost for the new road improvements shall be agreed to in the development agreement. A bike trail was constructed on the eastern side of the road this year (2001) Traffic Issues: . (See Traffic Summary Memo dated 11/28/01). Wal-Mart Page 3 August 16,2001 EA W Issues: A number of issues were raised as part of the EA W for this project. The main concerns were with traffic and the geology in the area. Dakota County raised the following concerns: The EA W states that groundwater was not encountered in the soil borings conducted to depths 0120 feet. The geotechnical borings were not provided for review. No environmental borings were conducted, and no other environmental investigations were considered. The property's pre- development surface elevation ranges from 920 feet above mean sea level (amsl) on the southwest to 890 feet amsl on the northeast, The estimated elevation of the unconfined Prairie du Chien dolostone aquifer is about 720 feet amsl, with approximately a northeasterly gradient. The EA W does not address the possibility of subsurface karst landforms on the proposed development property, such as sinkholes and solution cavities, Although no such phenomena are known to be located on the property, they are known to exist 1/4- mile east at the,Dakota County Government Center. Based on the above comments, the structural stability of buildings, tanks, utility runs, etc., should be evaluated. Surface geophysical surveys followed by ground-truthed borings, wells and trenches may better evaluate such potential site hazards. The developer has provided detailed soil boring analysis which addresses Dakota CountyDs concerns. The developer will be required to address the County's concerns before grading permits are issued. Sanitary, Water, Storm Sewer and Grading Plans: The Public works Director has reviewed the proposed grading and utility plans for Wal-Mart and has approved them in concept. Lighting: The lights proposed for the Wal-Mart Parking Lot must be recessed with 90 degree cutoff shields to direct light straight down. Staff has visited other recently developed Wal-Martssites and have found the proposed lighting to be consistent with the approach to site lighting used in other communities. Site Landscaping: The Landscape plan compliments the site and the building. There are trees proposed to be planted in the parking lot islands which will help break up the large parking lots and will also help to the parking lot cool as they mature. The entire eastern and southern parts of the building are buffered with 6-8 pine trees which softens the large walls. The ponding basin is being planted with a wetland seed mix of native vegetation. This is working successfully in Woodbury ponds. The Planning Commission also recommended replacing the sod in the future expansion areas with native vegetation. The main reason for this is to cut down on irrigation in order to conserve water. City staff would recommend the following additions to the landscape plan to further enhance and buffer the development. 1. Landscaping shall be irrigated. Wal-Mart Page 4 August 16,2001 2. Future expansion areas shall be evaluated to be planted with native and natural vegetation instead of sod. 3. Foundation plantings shall be added to thefront of the building. Retainin2 Walls: A retaining wall be built alon~ the eastern property line along General Sieben Dr. This retaining must have a fence along the top of it. The fence should be a decorative fence matching the garden center fence. Trail Connections: There will be a 10ft bike trail extended along the western side General Sieben Dr. A sidewalk will be extended from the General Sieben Dr Bike Trail west through the parking lot to the front ofthe Wal-Mart Store. A bike trail connection also extends to the sidewalk in the retail outlot area. Bike racks should be placed at the front of the store., Buildin2 Elevations: City staff has worked hard with Wal-Mart to create a building that compliments and enhances the buildings in the area. This is a sensitive location with two large well designed public buildings in the area. This building will become a part of the institutional campus. The developers are proposing an all brick building to compliment the brick buildings in the area. The brick walls and accent banding extends around the entire building. Columns that extend above the roof line have been added to the front of the building to break up the long walls and roof lines. The loading dock area is screened by a large screening wall built in the same materials as the primary building.- Waste Disposal: The dumpsters are screened form view with a screening wall built from the same materials as the primary building. No outdoor storage shall be allowed on site, unless it is screened from public view with screening walls built from the same materials as the primary building. Gas Station: The gas station shall be required to obtain a special use permit as part of the site plan approval for the gas station. MNDOT (Minnesota Department of Transportation): MNDOT has submitted a letter (enclosed) addressing this project and has no objections. Wal-Mart Relocation Concerns: City Staff and the City Council have been receiving numerous concerns from citizens about the project. They are concerned about why Wal-Mart is moving and what will happen with the existing Wal-Mart location. Wal-Mart representatives will address these concerns at the City Council meetings. The City may ask for these questions to be addressed, but must base the decision on the new Wal-MArt site plan on the merits and issues of the new location only. Wal-Mart has indicated to City staff that they are actively marketing the building for a new tenant. Citizens are also concerned about the visual impacts of this large building in relation to the new high school. This building will impact the view of the high school from HWY 55, but will not entirely Wal-Mart Page 5 August 16,2001 block the view of the new high school. The existing high school and government center are well designed large structures built with high quality materials. The proposed Wal-Mart is also proposed to be constructed with high quality materials and has been well designed for its use as a retail super center. It is not out of scale with the size of the other buildings in the area. Eco Wal-Mart - There is an enclosed memo that outlines ECO Wal-Mart strategies used in their buildings. The building will use an innovative lighting and heating system to conserve energy. The developers will explain these innovations further at the meeting. Wal-Mart Petition: A petition opposed to Wal-Mart is enclosed. There are no addresses, so the residency of the petitioners could not be verified. Wal-Mart Information: A packet ofWal-Mart information is enclosed addressing their reasons for moving and their plans for the existing store. Summary: The proposed Wal-Mart Store is well designed and is located in an appropriate location to handle the increased traffic it will cause. The traffic issues associated with the proj ect would have to be addressed as part of any development ofthe property. This property was guided commercial for a project like this. The infrastructure is in place to serve this project and the traffic caused by this development can be adequately handled with the existing traffic signals in place and the futre traffic signal, road improvements and access to HWY 55. Public comment: Please refer to the attached minutes of the 8/13/01 Planning Commission meeting to review public comment. Most comments revolved around the impact ofWal-Mart moving. Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Wal- Mart Site Plan at their 8/13/01 Planning Commission meeting, subject the conditions listed below. Upon vote taken, Ayes 7, Nays O. Motion carried. Recommended Action: Motion to recommend the approval ofthe Wal-Mart Site Plan subject to following conditions: Wal-Mart Site Plan 1.

Planning Commission Members, We are a group of citizens concerned with the purposed over retailing of our community, and the expansion of "Supercenter Sprawl" in Hastings. In this letter we will present many reasons to oppose and/or postpone the proposed development of Dakota Summit. 1. Traffic that is generated by a Supercenter, in deliveries alone, can be up to 210 multi-axle trucks per week. That doesn't even take into consideration employee and consumer traffic, which constitutes a considerably large number of vehicles, as well. In an area that is going to house our new Senior High School and already houses the County Courthouses and Jail, the added traffic will create several dangerous intersections. The addition of traffic control devises will only slow down and congest an already busy road (MN State Hwy 55), and who is to bare the expense of all the changes? We just want a smarter kind of retail! 2. A large retail expansion like "Dakota Summit" brings more crime to our community, and the need for more public safety personnel. Who will bare the cost of additional police officers/equipment to handle the need? 3. What are the plans for the existing W aI-Mart building and mall area? Is it to be like anyone of hundreds cities across America, where Wal-Mart vacates a building and it sits empty, and litters our landscape? What will happen to the other businesses that occupy the rest of the Mall? Do you really think they will survive without the traffic W al- Mart provided for them? The writing is on the wall from one community to another across America, those businesses will not survive unless another large anchor tenant enters the picture, and that's not very likely with a Wal-Mart Supercenter in town. 4. A Wa1-Mart Supercenter will not bring any new products or services to Hastings which aren't already present. It will only add 'a predatory competitor to the business community. W a1- Mart is one of the wealthiest companies in the world, (St Paul Pioneer Press June 22, 200 1 listed the top ten wealthiest people in the United States and 5 of those people are Wa1tons, the owners of Wal-Mart) and it will use it's money to.target and destroy existing businesses in the community. It has happened in hundreds of cities across the country. Here is a comment made by Glenn Fa1goust, about Donaldsonville, Louisianna to 60 Minutes, April 30, 1995; "In the ten years before Wa1-Mart opened, we had a tota1 of20 ~,.' _ business failures. In the ten years after W a1- Mart was here, we had 185 business failures. You could buy a bicycle in eight locations in this town. Today, if you want to buy a bicycle, you can only buy it at Wal-Mart.1 Is it the plan to let Wa1-Mart come in and destroy the existing business community? Lets look at the list of businesses that will be affected by W ai-Mart, Pharmacies!Drug Stores, Automotive Stores, Eye Care Retailers, Gas Stations, Office Supply Stores, Sporting Goods Stores, Hardware Stores, Grocery Stores, Jewelry Stores, Farm and Home Stores, Furniture Stores, Pet Stores, Appliance Stores, and the list goes on. All of these businesses provide jobs that in many cases are living wage providers (owners and full time employees). Wa1-Mart employees are compensated at sub standard wages and benefits, and few positions are of the level that would be considered a living wage. Here is a quote from Ed Boyle, Mayor of North Olmsted, Ohio on October 25th 1997; "They claim retail rezoning will bring jobs and tax income to our community. These are part-time, minimum wage jobs that produce very little in income taxes." 1 Now, after we have lost all these existing businesses/jobs what happens to the tax base in Hastings? Citizens lose jobs/ income, housing market is destroyed because without income , people will be forced to sell homes and move or down size. With a glut of houses on the market the value drops which reduces property taxes. As businesses fail the value of commercial property will fall and again property taxes decline. Will the Wal- Mart Supercenter replace the lost revenues? Not a chance! Lets go back and look at another W al- Mart tactic, once they have eliminated the competition the prices will begin to rise. You only have to drive two hours North of Hastings to the community of Little Falls. Once the competition was eliminated the prices began to go up. This is evident when you drive another 45 minutes further North to Brainerd where some competition is barely holding on. The prices there are considerably lower. 5. Typically Wal- Mart only stays around long enough to gain control of the local business and then they move along (about 8-10 years on average). Leaving another empty blue box and moving just far enough to destroy more businesses, but not lose the customer base they have already gained. Again Hastings would be on the losing end, because now they (Wal-Mart) are in another community and are paying property taxes etc. there. Archer Hoyt, Past President, Hearne, Texas Chamber of Commerce had this to say in October of 1993; "They destroyed all of their competition and now we can not get anyone to reopen here. We have no place to buy a man's dress shirt, blue jeans for men...They have also pulled out of other towns since then. They are not as stable as they would lead you to believe." 1 6. Hastings is a wonderful classic Midwest small town with steady growth in both housing and business. Why should we allow it to be destroyed by a company that is' not even based in Minnesota? All of it's income is sent to Bentonville, Arkansas, and will not benefit Hastings one tenth as much as the existing Hastings owned businesses. In June of 1988 Harry Hammond, Mayor of Europa, Mississippi, had this to say; "It's devastated our downtown. The mom and pops are closed up ...overall I'd have to say it's been a negative for our town.''t Hastings has a business community that is growing at a rate comparable to its population growth. Our downtown area is quaint and businesses have done remodels and face lifts to accent our historic buildings. Why should we sacrifice it for a big out of town/state business? 7. When Iowa State University Professor Ken Stone examined the sales changes in Iowa small towns from 1983 to 1993, he discovered "a huge shift of sales to larger towns and cities, with substantial amounts captured by mass merchandise stores." Stone estimates that the total number of businesses lost in small towns and rural areas was 7,326 in the decade studied. Iowans spent $425 million more at discount stores, but $153 million less at variety stores, $129 million less at grocery stores, $94 million less at hardware stores, $47 million less at men's and boy's apparel stores, and so on. In the eleven store types studied, businesses lost more than $603 million in sales. In this ten year period, Iowa lost: 555 Grocery stores 298 Hardware stores 293 Building supply stores 161 Variety stores 158 Women's apparel stores 153 Shoe stores 116 Drug stores 111 Men's and boy's apparel stores 1 Is this the bandwagon Hastings wants to get on? 8. Let's look at other "Big Box" retailers, Target came to Hastings about a year ago. Why didn't they put a Supercenter in Hastings? It doesn't fit! The demand is not here. They knew Hastings didn't need a large Supercenter, and they were right. You can go into the Hastings Target at just about any time of day and not have to wait in check out lines. The need is not here, and it wasn't Targets plan to enter a community and destroy the existing businesses, like W ai-Marts do. They brought an appropriate sized store to town so as to compliment and enhance the community, not ruin it. How do we as Citizens, Planning Commission Members, and Council Members stop this Superstore Sprawl? Before land is rezoned we need to look at all the effects it will have on the community, environment, economy, safety and quality of life. Many communities are setting build size limits (e.i. 100,000 sq. ft) to make the Supercenter more compatible with existing businesses, and allow for controlled growth. This rezone/development needs to be tabled until all the necessary studies and plans are in place to proceed sensibly. Every member of the Planning Commission and City Council should do some background research on Supercenters (one example would be to read AI Norman's book Slam-Dunking Wal-Mart! How You Can Stop Superstore Sprawl in Your Hometown). There are many other studies and articles written on the problems caused by superstore sprawl dating from the 1980s to the present, but none written on the great benefits that superstores provides for a community. Communities as close as Apple Valley and Northfield have stopped Supercenters from being built. We would like to end with a couple more quotes from citizens of other communities that have been affected by Supercenter; "Growth must come at a pace that a community and its residents can sustain, and in a location and manner that compliments the integrity ofa community. IfWal-Mart can conform to these community needs, its welcome. If not, we are not interested in letting it open its doors." Stan Cox, Simcoe, Ruidoso, Canada, 1995 1 "What the residents are objecting to is a powerful, monied corporation that is absolutely insensitive to the needs of the neighborhood and only interested in making money trying to use its wealth and legal power to push onto this neighborhood a commercial venture that wasn't ever intended." Sheila Slomski, Mesa Arizona, January 1999 1 Please help keep Hastings a community we can all prosper in and be proud of.

No other big box or national retailer that Wal-Mart is aware 6fhas a similar system. (Some manually turn off lights, or some automatically turn off some lights, but no one that Wal-Mart knows of automatically and continuously, dims all of the lights as the daylight contribution increases). This system was first utilized in City of Industry, California (1995), which was a project whereby Wal-Mart collaborated with Southern California Edison and the California Energy Commission on testing systems to decrease utility requirements. Currently, across the United States, we have nearly 600 stores, supercenters, Sam's Clubs, and Neighborhood Markets with this system (Nearly 90,000,000 square feet). Currently this results in an annual savings of approximately 250 million KWH or 16 million dollars in utility savings per year to this system. This is enough power to supply 23,000 homes for approximately one year. We wiII add/convert another 200-300 facilities each year. 2. Energy efficient HVAC units: Wal-Mart utilizes "super" high efficiency packaged HV AC units. While the industry standard EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) is 9.0... our units are rated at between 10.0 and 11.0. These units range between 4-17% more efficient than required by California Title 24, the most stringent energy code in the country. 3. White Roofs: Wal-Mart has a "white" membrane roofvs. most applications that are a darker color. The high solar reflectivity of this membrane results in lowering the "cooling" load by about 8%. 4. Interior Lighting retrofit program: All new stores/supercenters utilize T -8 fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts. This is the most efficient lighting system on the market. Prior to the mid 90s this technology did not exist. Wal-Mart is aggressively retrofitting these older stores and upgrading to the new technology. Our plans are to retrofit approximately 300-400 stores this year. The energy load is reduced by approximately 15-20% as a result of this upgrade.. (I may also mention as part of this discussion our use of "low-mercury" lamps.... these lamps, unlike all other fluorescent lamps, are not considered to be a hazardous material and are considered to be very "green friendly"..., they can be disposed of with no special precautions. However, out of concern for the environment and the well-being of our associates, Wal-Mart have volunteered to recycle these lamps anyway instead of simply placing them in a landfill.) 5. How Wal-Mart compares with California Title 24 energy requirements: The bottom line is that even compared against California's Title 24, Energy Efficiency Standards (the most aggressive of any state) our buildings are well below the stated guidelines. Wal-Mart did not have to make any special modifications in order to comply with Title 24. The specifics are: From a cooling load standpoint, our prototypes range from being anywhere between 16% and 24% more efficient than required by Title 24. Our HVAC units range anywhere from 4% to 17% more efficient than required by Title 24. Our interior lighting is 30% more efficient than what is required by Title 24. Self-generation tests: Wal- Mart is currently working with San Diego Gas & Electric in testing the potential for self- generation at a Sam's Club in Chula Vista, CA. The ultimate goal would be for this facility to be completely self-supported from an electrical standpoint. 6. Comparison of interior lighting load levels against other big box users: Our studies show that our energy requirements for interior lighting are between 25-35% less than our other big box SuperCenter competitors. (Results would be similar for standard General Merchandise stores). 7. Efforts exclusive in SuperCenters: Wal-Mart uses (reclaim) the "heat of rejection" from our refrigeration equipment to generate hot water. This eliminates 3-:80 gallon hot water heaters per facility. This saves about $2,300 per year per location. The doors on our refrigerated cases implement a computerized anti- sweat feature.... so that the system only "kicks on" and utilizes energy when conditions warrant, vs. most systems that simply run all the time. This saves about $11,000 per year per location. Wal-Mart "actively" de-humidify our grocery facilities to reduce energy load associated with defrost cycles. The industry standard humidity level in a grocery facility is 55%,.... Wal-Mart maintains 45%. Most other grocers "passively" de-humidify with their Ale system,... Wal-Mart "actively" removes moisture with a dedicated dehumidification unit. This saves us about 7% in refrigeration energy or about $11,000 per year per location. Wal-Mart: Taking care of customers and communities Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. believes that each of its discount stores, Supercenters, Neighborhood Markets, SAM'S CLUBS and distribution centers should contribute to the well being of the local community. Through the company's Good. Works. community involvement program last year, Wal-Mart associates at more than 3,000 locations raised and contributed $190 million to support communities and local non-profit organizations. FORTUNE magazine has named Wal-Mart the 3rd most admired company in America and one of the 100 best companies to work for in America. And, for the second consecutive year, Americans named Wal-Mart as the company they think of first in supporting local causes and issues, according to Cone, Inc. Education · Wal-Mart is one of the leading supporters. of education in the United States. Last year, Wal-Mart invested $7.3 million in individual college scholarship programs, providing funds for its own associates, local communities and African- American and Hispanic students. In addition, since 1979, Wal-Mart has contributed more than $77 million in scholarship support. · Wal-Mart stores and SAM'S CLUBS have saluted nearly 11,000 Teachers of the Year since 1996, making it one of the largest teacher recognition programs in the country. These teachers' schools received $1.5 million in educational grants in 2000 and more than $6.6 million in Wal-Mart educational grants since the program began. Local and National Community Causes · Last year, Wal-Mart contributed $115 million - or $2.2 million every week - to the communities we serve through local grants and programs. . The Salvation Army raised $14 million last year during the holidays with kettles located at local Wal-Mart stores nationwide. · Wal-Mart and SAM'S CLUB associates raised and contributed more than $19 million in 2000 to the United Way, and $133 million since 1983. Wal-Mart is the largest corporate sponsor of the World War II Memorial Campaign, raising and contributing more than $14.7 million. In 2001, Wal-Mart received the prestigious Silver Helmet Special Award from AMVETS, and the National Commander's Public Relations Award from the American Legion in recognition of its fund-raising efforts for the memorial. The nation's largest veterans organization honored Wal-Mart in March 2001 for its support of the World War II Memorial and for its associates' voter-registration drive. American Legion National Commander Ray G. Smith presented Wal-Mart the National Commander's 2001 Public Relations Award during the closing session of The American Legion's 418t Washington Conference. "Wal-Mart's public service upholds traditional values and two of The American Legion's founding principles: Americanism and preserving the memory of those who fought in our nation's wars," Smith said. "I'm delighted to honor Wal-Mart for its institutional citizenship, yet another feature the corporation has in common with The American Legion family." Wal-Mart: A good neighbor in Hastings . Wal-Mart has been a part ofthe Hastings community for more than a decade. We opened our doors here in November 1990 and have watched our business change and grow with the needs of our customers throughout the community. ' . Today, our request to grow our business is a direct reaction to the wants and needs of our customers. Every day, our customers ask us when we can we bring them a Wal- Mart Supercenter. They believe in more choices for consumers and more competition. This project directly reflects consumer demand. . Today, the Hastings Wal-Mart employs some 220 associates from the community. Our proposed project would conservatively add another 150 jobs to the area, and will enhance the opportunity for advancement for people here in Hastings. Our associates will have even more opportunities to stay in Hastings and grow their careers and lives here. . Wal-Mart is not just a merchant in Hastings - we're somebody's neighbor. We're a member of the local Chamber, and we don't forget our obligations to our community. In fact, last year, our associates here raised more than $48,000 for charitable causes for Hastings and the Hastings-area community. The year before that, they raised more than $38,000. Our home office helped contribute to those causes with matching donations! Recipients of our contributions include our local schools, churches, and dozens of other local not-for-profit agencies. Wal-Mart: The consumers' choice Wal-Mart has beaten the competiton again -- this time in a survey of 5,000 consumers, who were asked to rank retailers in a variety of categories relating to their shopping experience. The survey, done jointly by Chain Store Age and Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, and featured in the May 2001 issue <?f Chain Store Age, ranked retailers in seven categories: · PriceNalue (Wal-Mart ranked No.1 in the Grocery, Discount and Overall categories). · Product Assortment (No.1 in Discount and Overall categories). · Service (No.1 in Discount and Overall categories). · Ease of Shopping! Access (2nd in Discount category). · Trust (No.1 in Discount and Overall categories). · Making the Shopping Experience Enjoyable (2nd in Discount category). · Overall (No.1 in Discount and Overall categories). To sum up, Wal-Mart was ranked best in 33 of 56 categories, and even won "best" for several attributes in the Grocery category. According to Dan Bagan, publisher of Chain Store Age, "No other retailer in any category was even close to being recognized by consumers as much." Wal-Mart and our associates: A relationship built on trust and respect · We feel that while unions might be right for other companies, they do not have a place at Wal-Mart. Wal~Mart associates have been representing themselves for the past 38 years, and they do not need to pay a middleman who charges them union dues to do it for them. · Wal-Mart was recently recognized by its associates as one of Fortune Magazines top 100 companies to work for. Last year more than 4 million people applied for jobs at Wal-Mart. Ofthose hired 58% said one ofthe main reasons they joined our company was for the health benefits we provide. The fact is we take care of our associates. UFCW leaders can continue with their constant attacks against our company, but our focus is going to be on listening and taking care of our associates. · We offer our associates competitive wages and a comprehensive benefits package. We conduct annual wage surveys in the individual markets where we operate to ensure we are being competitive. In addition to competitive wages, our associates are eligible to receive health benefits for as little as $8.50 per (two-week) pay-period, a 401K plan and a profit sharing plan (two separate retirement plans), which Wal-Mart contributes to regardless of whether or not the associate personally contributes. Other benefits are a Wal-Mart stock ownership plan, scholarship opportunities, various bonus programs where associates share in the profits of the company, child care discounts, a 10% discount at Wal-Mart and free professional counseling services. · The UFCW has made it no secret that they will do anything they can to attack our company. They are using tactics that directly target our associate's profit sharing and stakeholders' bonus thus hitting associates right in their pocket books. It is no wonder that union leaders and union organizers have a credibility problem with most of our associates. . Wal-Mart offers benefits to both its full and part time associates. Wal-Mart is one of only a few retailers to offer benefits to part time people. For example, this allows a part-time associate to begin a career at Wal-Mart and receive benefits while going to college or while taking care of a child or parent. , Another very significant benefit Wal-Mart offers associates is stability and the security that comes from working for a company with a strong growth record. While many other large companies have merged, downsized or failed, Wal-Mart continues to grow and offer exciting career opportunities to people around the world. There is more opportunity for job advancement and growth at Wal-Mart than ever before. Nearly 65% of our managers began as hourly associates; allowing our management team to continue to reflect our associate base as well as the diverse communities we serve. Studies indicate benefits ofWal-Mart . When a Wal-Mart store opens, there's a one-time increase in employment in the county where it locates and an increase in the number of retail establishments, according to a new study by Marshall University. The study was released just last year (May 2000). The economic impact study by Marshall's Center for Business and Economic Research also reports the data suggests that Wal-Mart compensates its employees as well, or better, than other retailers within the counties where the big stores are located. Mark Burton, director of the center, said, "It should be noted very clearly that while people may understand how the presence ofWal-Mart might hurt small independent establishments," Burton said, it is also likely 'Wal-Mart would help small independent establishments. That's because of two effects identified in the study -- the magnet-like effect of "power center clusters" and the "travel-substitution effect." Power center clusters are malls that combine a discount store with "category killer stores" --large stores that carry everything related to a single retail category. "This clustering of stores is responsible for part of the increase in the number of firms," the study said. When consumers shop near their homes because a large discount store is located nearby instead of traveling to shop, it is known as the travel-substitution effect. The result of the effect is, the consumer traffic created by the mass merchandiser ultimately attracts more local retail trade. · Kent Burnes, principal consultant with Burnes Consulting in Grass Valley, Calif., speaking last fall (September 2000) to a gathering of about 30 small-business owners at the Small Business Development Center's Pittsburg Retail Roundtable in Pittsburg City Hall, said homegrown businesses can survive, even excel, in the face of such behemoths as Wal-Mart if they use the right strategies. He said he took a tour of downtown Pittsburg earlier in the day and saw "nothing but gold-lined sidewalks waiting to be developed." Burnes said Sam Walton, who created Wal-Mart, was given his success by small businesses. "Wal-Mart didn't grow Wal-Mart," he said. "WE grew Wal-Mart." That was because small busin~sses were unwilling to change, he said. Being willing to change, he said, is the key to succeeding. He defined change as . choice, and he said that means the small-business owner must "choose to win." He related another tale of a small grocery store next to a vacant lot where an Albertson's was about to go in. The couple in the small store had been selling groceries for decades, but they were willing to change. They merely switched to other products and continued to thrive. More good words for Wal-Mart... · "I'm sure Sam (Walton) would be proud today of how his stores are still willing to give back to the communities where they live. In these days of mergers and absentee ownership it is a real pleasure to see that the nation's largest retailer still knows the value of 'community.'" -- Duanne Swift, President, Green Bay (Wis.) Area Chamber of Commerce · "When Wal-Mart opened in Napoleon, our business community, especially the small retailers, Were concerned about the impact Wal-Mai1: would have. What happened, though, was Wal-Mart brought customers to our community from counties around us. The results were other businesses, such as restaurants, gas stations and our niche retailers benefited from additional customers that spent their dollars in Napoleon." -- Sue Westendorf, Executive Director, Napoleon/Henry County (Ohio) Chamber of Commerce The chance to grow our business to take care of our customers ... · Wal-Mart is glad to answer questions about our business and our plans that relate to this project. But why is it fair to let other businesses/competition enter communities and grow their businesses and serve their customers and for Wal-Mart to not be able to do the same? . Present market analysis already indicates many shoppers already take their grocery business to other outside communities. That's revenue and business that could stay right here. Our addition of a Supercenter will help complement the existing retail sector and help make Hastings an even more appealing and convenient place to shop. . The Hastings Wal-Mart will continue to offer jobs that feature some ofthe most competitive and comprehensive benefits and wage packages in the retail industry. We conduct a survey of existing retail establishments' wages and benefits and base our own compensation on those figures, ensuring they are extremely competitive, if not better than those offered throughout the Hastings community. . This is a win-win situation for Hastings. Besides creating more consumer choices and enhanced services, our new Supercenter will help add significant revenues to the Hastings community, in the form of real estate property taxes and sales taxes. These revenues make a significant difference in the way Hastings and Minnesota support education, infrastructure, and numerous other public services and programs that are critical in the day-to-day lives oflocal residents. Committed to finding a new tenant for our existing store building . Wal-Mart properties are available due to our desire to continue improving upon our service to our customers. The Wal-Mart Supercenter has become very popular with our customers. We have found that it is an excellent way to expand our operations in many communities. This enables us to continue and improve upon our service to our customers. Such moves create an available and proven retail location for other tenants. . It is important to Wal-Mart, our shareholders and our communities that these assets are put to use. That's why we devote significant resources to selling or leasing our available properties. Simply put, it impacts our bottom line to have an unused asset therefore we are aggressive and innovative in marketing these properties. . We primarily sell or lease buildings to other retailers. Many are familiar with Wal- Mart's Building Development program and regularly seek updates from our website or through our mailing list. We also sell or lease buildings to non-retail or "alternative: users, such as call centers, schools and hospitals. · We use a several strategies including our website - www.wal-martrealty.com- which is organized by state and provides key characteristics like square footage for each location. Other methods include participating in trade shows, such as ICSC, and a broad mailing list to which we send regular updates on available properties. The updates include building specifics as well as aerial photographs of the location. · From time-to-time, we will outsource these efforts to local real estate professionals. While it will always be important for Wal-Mart to be directly involved in selling or leasing a property, we recognize that local market knowledge can supplement our efforts. · Additionally, we regularly work with local chambers of commerce and economic development agencies to seek tenants that will bring value to the community. · Our primary users are other retailers in categories, such as home improvement, apparel, books and music and pet supply. Examples include, Hobby Lobby, Goody's Family Clothing, Tractor Supply and Burlington Coat Factory. We also work with "alternative users", such as call centers, schools and hospitals. 0r- e e N o LO I'- leJO~ pueJE) a;j -.:t &9- C") J:>>:>>e ~ 81-6 - suolJnqlJJuoO g aJoJS o d14SJe104:>>S g ~lunwwoo ~ o JuawdolaAac ~ :>>lwouo:>>3 ~ s,{ed s,{eMIV g C'\l wSIJaaJunlo^ &9- o JeaA g a4J 10 Ja4:>>ea~ &9- o ,{ec ~ a:>>uaJaYIC e a>tel/ll ~ o 4:>>Jel/ll dJoo co -.:t I J:>>npac 1I0J,{ed N &9- - ,{eM paJIUn or- ('I) c ClS .., o -- e e e N or- .c Q) LL E .g U) c o ;:; ~ .c "i: -- c o o z :E t.n C) Z j:: t.n <C :I: C") co II JeM PIJOM ~ C'\l &9- to >tJoMJaN ~ al:>>eJII/II s,uaJpl!40 ~ o o SJueJE) snu08 q LO &9- co pasleH ~ sJueJE) 6uI4:>>~el/ll ~ &9- o o SJueJE) 6u14:>>Jel/ll ~ &9- C'\l I'- -.:t ..... uOIJe:>>Ol 'V.lO.l a; co cO (t) fI7 HO'H::> A.LINnll\lll\lO o 81-6$ ~ fI7 e e e N ^V S,iN3HVdON~ H30V3 SS3NIsn No.nVM II\IV or- ('I) c ClS .., o -- 0) en en or- or- .c Q) LL U) C o ;:; ~ .c "i: -- c o o NOI.l::>n03 "OH^V ^VM 03.llN >tHOM.L3 3'::>~1 S,N3HO'IH 03S1 S.lN~E> snNO 'B E>NIH::>.lV 03SHnaSI S.lN~E> snNO 'B E>NIH::>.lV z :E t.n C) Z j:: t.n <C :I: NOI.l V::> 0 o o q ..... fI7 o o q 000 000 ";<00 .....-.:to LO co o~ - - 0 ~~LO ..... ..... ..... &9-&9-&9- N I"- -:t ..... om(/) omQ) om>< C'\l.....en ... ...

The purpose of the meeting will be threefold: 1.) 2.) Staff will provide an update on the status of the Hydroelectric Plant The City Council will be asked to take action authorizing bond sales which would include: a.) Taxable General Obligation Hydroelectric Revenue Refunding Bonds b.) Taxable General Obligation Grant Anticipation Bonds 3.) 3a.) Approval of Resolution that would authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to award the Ie of bonds on the day of the sale, subject to certain conditions, such as a limit on t e interest rate. As an alternative, the City Council. will be asked to schedule a special meeting for agreed upon date in early January, such as the 8th or 9th, for the bond sale date, ultimately an award by the City Council. Back!!round City Staff has been working with the Utility Committee of the City Council on the status of the Hydroelectric Plant, advising of the progress on the repairs, discussing the financial situations, and options for issuing bonds. In addition, Finance Director Lori Webster, Public Works Director Tom Montgomery and I have been working with the City's Financial Advisor, Springsted on the timing and type of bonds that will be needed to assist with the financial situation at the Hydroelectric Plant. Staff and representatives from Springsted will be prepared to present the recommendation to the City Council, and would like to do so at it special meeting on Monday December 10th, 2001 at 5:~uld that time not be feasible, the second recommendation is to conduct the meeting ~t remain scheduled for Monday December 10th, 2001). Because the City must make Its next Hydroelectric Bond Payment on or about February 1,2002, it is imperative that we ''work backwards" to be certain funds are available from the "new bonds" to make payments. Therefore, the bond sale date would likely be the first full week of January 2002. Again, the formal action requested at the meeting on December 3rd, 2001 is to schedule a special meeting on December 10th 2 01 at 5:00 PM. -,~ 011~ -7" VIII-C-2, 3 & 4 MEMO To: Honorable Mayor and City Council members From: Lori A. Webster, Finance Director ~ Subject: 2002 City Budget and Property Tax Levy Date: November 27, 2001 The City Council adopted a proposed Property Tax Levy on September 17,2001 based upon the recommendations from the Fina~c~ Committee. The Finance committee met on August 2, 2001 and again on September 13, 2001 to review the budget requests. As you are aware, levy limits are back for the 2002 Levy. The Truth in Taxation Public Hearing (s) were optional this year due to the timing that the Counties needed to process information. This was delayed because of the late legislative session this spring. The Finance Committee however, did opt to hold a B~9tt -'~~~ Ho~ which was held on_November 6.. 2QQJ., A few interested residents did attend and were grateful for the informal question and answer session with the Finance Committee and other selected council members in attendance. As you are aware, with the elimination of the HACA program, the City was able to "levy back- those dollars - which is included in the general levy. A pie chart depicting the breakdown of the levy dollar is attached as well as the budgeted dollar by department within the City. Also included is table of OVERALL Property Tax computations based upon the figures provided by Dakota County. These are the rates that the County will use in the "Truth in Taxation- statements that will be mailed out as early as the last of November. Please note that these figures do not include the further reduction of the City's levy - that is to be adopted on December 3, 2001. After meeting again, the Finance Committee has directed staff to reduce the Proposed Levy below the levy limit and prepare the attached resolutions for council adoption. Council Action ReQuested .' ~~" The City Council is asked to approve four separate Resolutions as follows: ~1 1. Resolution Adopting 2002 City Property Tax Levy '~. 'Ii teLDl-tcno/J 2.
