9) Consent Agenda
a) Council Draft Minutes of July 14, 2011
b) Approval of Assessment Agreement with Southwest Assessing (Rolf Erickson) *. This is the annual
agreement for assessing services that runs from October 1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2012. Rolf Erickson has
agreed to the same terms as the current year agreement including the same fee of $48,284.
c) Storm Shelter Safety Improvement* See report from Cpl Hamilton. Staff is requesting authority to proceed
with the project to re- construct the west wall of the storm shelter at city hall using the original contractor.
Funds for the project would come from the CIP which has $18,000 approved. Cost of construction is
$18,920. There are sufficient funds in the CIP for the project.
d) Resolution 2011 -36 Temporary Gambling Permit St. Thomas the Apostle* Annual resolution to allow St.
Thomas Church to set up a charitable gambling event at their church festival the weekend of August 21 st.
10)Staff Reports.
a) Financial Guidelines. You reviewed this at your last meeting. The suggesting was to invite the auditor to
address the council regarding the policy of fund balances found in the proposed Guidelines. Our auditor,
Andrew Berg will be at this council meeting to address the questions on fund balances, the terminology in
the policy, and advise the council on the appropriate policy on the amount of a General Fund balance, and a
policy for replacing any funds used by the city from this reserve if the use causes the balance to dip below
the minimum set balance. I am not including the complete Financial Guidelines in this packet as it was
included in the July 141h packet so please include that document in this agenda's materials.
b) Review Employee Handbook. The employee committee has been working on this update for over a year.
The draft was given to Council member Gmach for his review and edits. His draft will be distributed to the
council at the meeting. Council member Gmach might speak to the document briefly but no action is being
requested of the council at this meeting. Consideration for approval will be asked of the council at the
August 11th council meeting.
c) Planning Update* See report.
11)Unfinished Business.
a) Sewer and Water Project* See memo from Engineer Torve and Financial Consultant Fifield. The engineer
will be at the meeting to give an update on activities during the past month. The council will be asked to
Page 1
Agenda Memo- July Zs, 2011
approve a Feasibility Report which is needed for the project to go foreword. The feasibility report will contain
all of the preliminary engineering information, refined cost estimates, construction detail, financial
information, and easement procurement. All which is needed for the project to enter the next phase which is
approving of the financing model and ordering the construction documents by the council in preparation for
bidding the project.
i) Update on Work to Date & Schedule
ii) Ordering Feasibility Report
b) Public Works Facility Update* At the last council meeting, the council directed that staff "vigorously" pursue
both the city owned property south of city hall and the property at Trail Haven & Co. Rd 10 owned by the
Kerber Trust for the Public Works Facility. Staff met this past week to develop a plan. It was decided that the
first order of business would be to get an appraisal of the Kerber property. I interpreted the council direction
as doing what was necessary to obtain all information necessary to determine if the Kerber property was a
viable option to the city for a site of the PW Facility. I directed the city attorney to proceed with retaining
Waytas to perform the appraisal and I would ask the council to approve the agreement at this council
meeting. Cost is $700 to $1,000. The following schedule was also determined at the staff meeting:
(1) July 28th. Approve Waytas contract for appraisal of Kerber property
(2) August 10th. Finish Kerber property appraisal and to city attorney and city administrator
(3) August 11th. Appraisal before the council and closed council meeting to consider making an offer.
(4) August 25th. If directed on the 11 th, assess wetlands and perform soil borings of the Kerber property
and bring to the council
(5) September 81h. Council to consider any response or further direction on an offer.
One point needs to be clarified by the council regarding the pursuit of the building option on these two sites.
While we have done much "soft" work on the city property, we have never obtained an appraisal of the
property. If we are getting an appraisal of the Kerber property, we need to be able to compare that property
value against the value of our property. Not to obtain the appraisal of our property means we can't
realistically compare the two properties or develop opportunity costs. So, I would like the council to consider
ordering the appraisal of the city property at this meeting.
c) Approving Monday, August 15, 2011 for Special Council Meeting- Budget Workshop. Looks like everyone
on the council and staff can make the Monday, August 15th Council Budget Workshop. Council just
needs to state publically and pass a motion establishing this meeting date so we can notice it.
12)New Business
a) Approval of Request for Proposals (RFP) for Building Official Services *. In your packet is the Request for
Proposals (RFP) for building inspection services. The action requested is approval and authorize the
release. Please note the timeline in the Summary at the start of the document. I suggest that the initial
contract be for 18 months to June 30, 2013. Thereafter, the contract can be renewed for two year
increments. Also, the notice provision for renewing or voiding is 3 months. The reason I suggest this is
because the elections are held in November, 2012. This gives the new council three months to determine if
they want to renew the contract or void it. Thereafter, any new council can decide in the first three months
what they want to do. Also, I have language in the RFP that a prospective bidder could be another city that
wants to share a building official. The City of Independence is interested in responding to our proposal.
b) Approval of Request for Proposals (RFP) for Recycling Services. I have not included this RFP in the
packet as it is lengthy. It is similar to what other cities have put out for proposals. It asks for
proposals for both what we currently have in place and for a proposal for a single sort system. This
allows for options and we can determine levels of service and at what costs. If you agree to let staff
proceed, we will bring back the proposals and a recommendation at the September 8th council
meeting.

RE: After - the - Fact - Extension of Final Plat for "Savoie Fields" (PID 28- 119 -23 -43 -0007)
City file no. 07 -011
60 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: August 8, 2011
Application Request
The applicant has requested a one year extension to the final plat approvals for "Savoie Fields ".
This is an `rafter- the - fact" extension because the approvals expired on January 28, 2011 and the
letter requesting extension was received on June 9, 2011.
2. Background
On December 21, 2009, the City Council voted to grant a one year extension to the final plat
approvals. The final plat approval expired on January 28, 2011.
The City approved a preliminary plat for Savoie Fields on September 19, 2007 and final plat on
January 28, 2008 (Resolution 2008 -07). These approvals would have expired on January 28, 2010
without the one year extension granted by the Council.
3. Analysis
Section 935.010, Subd. 7 of the City Code allows staff to administratively approve a one year
extension to the final plat approvals if the applicant provides a written request that includes 1) an
explanation for why a final plat has not been filed, 2) what, if any, good faith efforts have been made
to complete the platting process, and 3) the anticipated completion date. A second request or a
request longer than one year can only be approved by the City Council.
The City has a high level of discretion in reviewing this application. The City granted plat approval
and a one year extension. The landowner allowed the plat to expire. The applicant has now
requested another one year extension to the plat. The City Council has two options:
1. Approve the request for an after - the -fact extension of the final plat until January 28, 2012.
That would give the applicant 6 months to comply with the conditions of approval and record
the plat at Hennepin County.

2. Deny the request for an after -the -fact extension based on the finding that the applicant had
three years to comply with the conditions of approval and file the final plat. Denial of the
request would mean that the applicant would have to resubmit a preliminary plat and a final
plat application for City review under the current ordinance standards. The landowner was
aware of the plat expiration deadline and allowed the plat to expire; therefore, they could be
required to reapply for approval. However, staff notes that the City has limited discretion in
approving a plat application —if the ordinance standards have been met, the City must
approve the plat. There have been no significant changes to the subdivision ordinance since
the preliminary plat approvals in 2007 and the applicant could resubmit the same plat and
obtain city approval. Given these facts, the Council may find that requiring a resubmittal of
the plat would result in no change to the plat itself and would not benefit either the city (other
than to follow the technical letter of the law) or the landowner. A similar after - the -fact
extension was granted for "Hodgin Acres" on September 24, 2009 and for "Kellys West
Oaks" on February 10, 2011.
4. Recommendation
Move to adopt the Resolution 2011 -35 extending the final plat approvals.
Approval of the resolution requires a 3/5 vote of the City Council.

City of Corcoran
8200 County Road 116
Corcoran, MN 55340
Dear City of Corcoran,
We would like to request an `after- the -fact' extension to Resolution 2009 -58
that expired in January 2011. This resolution is in regards to the property located at
21801 Homestead Trail (P1D 28- 119 - 23-43- 0007).
We are requesting a one year extension.
The reason for this request, is that due to the poor economy, our potential buyer wasn't
able to complete the sale of his home, allowing for funds to purchase the property from
us. He has since secured the funds so that we are able to proceed with the division of
property.
The reason for a one year extension is to allow ample time for the multiple parties
involved (property owner, potential purchaser, numerous city employees and contractors,
county personnel and mortgage company) to be able to navigate a complicated system
that we've never had to deal with before.
Please consider this action at the upcoming June 23', 2011 council meeting.
Th" you in
, +eIry , . oie

RE: Dan Harriman (Custom Filtration, Inc.). Rezoning, Conditional Use Amendment
and Site Plan Amendment for a building and parking lot expansion at 7219 County
Road 116 (PID 26- 119 -23 -41 -0004)
City File No. 11 -005
60 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: August 2, 2011
Application Request
The applicant has requested approval of an amendment to the existing site plan approvals to allow a
4,013- square foot addition to the west side of the building and a 13 -stall parking lot addition.
When the applicant met with staff this spring, we notified them that the City was in the process of
updating the zoning ordinance. At the time that they met with staff, we recommended that they
apply for both the site plan amendment and a conditional use permit amendment because we did
not yet know how the ordinance updates would affect this property. The applicant did submit those
applications and City staff published a public hearing notice for the conditional use permit
amendment. However, because the City Council has not yet adopted the zoning map update
recommended by the Planning Commission, we are recommending that the City Council adopt the
zoning map update for this parcel only as part of this application.
2. Planning Commission Review
On July 7th, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item and voted unanimously to
recommend approval.
Other than the applicant, there was one person who spoke at the public hearing. The landowner to
the south requested that the owner provide a fence or additional landscaping on the western portion
of the south lot line to screen this business from their home. The Planning Commission noted that
the ordinance does not require the building to be screened from the homes but encouraged the
applicant to meet with the neighbor to discuss their concerns.
The applicant questioned why they could not install parking and landscaping in the septic easement.
Staff noted that the easement must be protected for the adjacent landowners use as a drain field.
When municipal sewer and water become available and the adjacent landowner has connected to
municipal sanitary sewer, the two landowners could vacate this private easement.

3. Context
Background
•
i
•
The conditional use permit for the existing building was approved in 1998 (Resolution 1998 -13). As
part of the original approvals, the landowner provided a 115' x 128' easement in the northeast corner
of the lot for use and maintenance and reconstruction of a drainfield that served the property to the
north. This easement was required to protect this septic area from impacts from Custom Filtration.
Zoning and Land Use
The property is classified as Light Industrial on the 2030 Future Land Use Plan. The property is
currently located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Boundary (MUSA) and zoned Agriculture (it
is shown as Light Industrial on the Draft Zoning Map). This property is in the 2025 -2030 phase of
the 2030 Sanitary Sewer Service Staging Plan.
The business is a legal non - conforming use in the Agriculture zoning district. In accordance with
State Statutes, Section 1030.010, Subd. 2 of the Zoning Ordinance prohibits expansion of non-
conforming uses. However, staff recommends that the property be rezoned to Light Industrial to
allow the proposed use. This issue is discussed in more detail in the Rezoning section of this report
Surrounding Properties
The properties to the north are guided Light Industrial on the 2030 Future Land Use Plan, the
properties to the west and south are guided Existing Residential and the properties to the east
(across CR 116) are guided Mixed Residential. All of the surrounding properties are zoned
Agriculture, which is a holding zone in the current zoning until municipal sewer and water are
provided.
Natural Characteristics of the Site
There are no trees or significant natural resources in the area of the proposed building addition.
4. Analysis of Request
Staff has reviewed the application for consistency with Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and
City Code requirements, as well as City policies. The City Engineer's comments are incorporated
into this staff report.
A. Level of City Discretion in Decision - Making
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving or denying a rezoning application. The
proposed zoning for a property must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. If the
proposed zoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the City must deny the rezoning
application. The Zoning Ordinance and Map are the enforcement tools used to implement the goals
and standards set in the Comprehensive Plan.
Custom Filtration, Inc. (11 -005)
July 28, 2011
r
i
0
The City's discretion in approving or denying a conditional use permit amendment and site plan
amendment is limited to whether or not the proposed request meets the standards outlined in the
City Code. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the conditional use permit and site
plan.
B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards
Rezoning
When the applicant submitted this application, both staff and the applicant believed that the new
zoning map and zoning ordinance would be adopted. One of the proposed changes in the zoning
map was to rezone this property from Agriculture to Light Industrial.
When this property received approval in 1998, the subject property was zoned C -2, which allowed
the existing office, warehouse and manufacturing uses as a conditional use. During the last zoning
ordinance update, this existing commercial /industrial property was placed in the Agriculture zoning
district until municipal sewer and water became available. Unfortunately, one of the unintended
consequences of that zoning district is that it limits landowner's ability to expand without a rezoning.
The draft zoning map is intended to correct that situation by zoning existing businesses with the
zoning that corresponds to the underlying land use. Unfortunately, this landowner is caught by a
delay in the adoption of the new zoning ordinance and zoning map.
The City Attorney has opined that the rezoning from Agriculture to Light Industrial can occur
because the public hearing has already been held on the proposed map amendment. Furthermore,
while the Light Industrial district standards have not yet been adopted, they will be very similar to the
existing Business Park standards. After discussion with the City Attorney, we recommend that the
City Council recommend approval of the rezoning from Agriculture to Light Industrial with the
condition that the parcel is subject to the standards in the existing Business Park zoning district until
such time as the new Light Industrial zoning district standards are adopted and would become
applicable to this parcel. This would allow the existing business to continue to operate as it has for
nearly 12 years and expand the operation to add new jobs in Corcoran.
Site Plan
The applicant is requesting approval to allow expansion of the building and parking lot.
Access
Access is currently provided via one curb cut on County Road 116, which will remain. Hennepin
County Transportation Department reviewed the applicant's plans and finds no significant impact
from the proposal.
Setbacks
The building and parking meet all setback requirements. However, the plan includes parking in a
septic easement, which would require some setback flexibility through additional landscaping. Staff
recommends that the landscaping and parking in septic easement be eliminated.

The property includes an easement for the septic drainfield of the adjacent property to the north.
When this project was originally approved in 1998, the approvals were conditioned upon the
dedication of a private easement agreement between this property owner and the property owner to
the north. The intention was to provide an easement to protect this septic system until such time as
sewer and water become available.
The proposed site plan includes new parking spaces in this easement. Staff finds that grading and
construction of 10 new parking stalls in this easement would be inconsistent with the purpose and
intent of the easement. We recommend that the plans be revised to eliminate the parking in this
area.
Parking
The site currently has 25 parking stalls. The current plan shows 38 stalls where 30 stalls are
required by ordinance. There is some inconsistency on the applicant's plan regarding the exact
number of parking stalls. Sheet A1.0 and Sheet C1.0 shall be revised for consistency and the plans
shall be revised to eliminate the parking in septic easement and provide a minimum of 30 parking
stalls. It appears that these new stalls could be added on the west end of the parking lot.
Screening /Landscaping
Section 1060.070 of the Zoning Ordinance provides standards for landscaping. Section 1060.070,
Subd. 2(G) of the Zoning Ordinance specifies the landscaping requirements for all new construction
and additions. The ordinance requires 4 overstory trees and 13 understory shrubs for this building
addition. Not more than 33 percent of the required number of trees shall be of one species. The
landscape plan includes 2 overstory trees, 3 understory trees and 61 shrubs. This would not comply
with ordinance requirements. The landscape plans shall be revised to comply with the minimum
landscape requirements by adding one additional overstory tree and eliminate plantings in the septic
easement area.
Additionally, the applicant is requesting parking setback flexibility as allowed by Section 1060.070,
Subd. 2(L) of the Zoning Ordinance. This section allows the parking setback to be reduced from 100
feet adjacent to County Road 116 (an arterial road) to 50 feet (the required setback from all non -
arterial streets in this zoning district). The setback may be granted if the applicant provides a
minimum of one overstory deciduous tree, one overstory coniferous tree, 2 ornamental trees and 10
understory shrubs per 100 feet of the length of the property line where the flexibility is requested, or
preserves the equivalent amount of existing trees and shrubs. These materials must be provided
in addition to the minimum landscape requirements.
As noted previously, the proposed parking that would require the setback flexibility is located in the
existing easement area and should be eliminated from the plans, therefore, the setback flexibility is
no longer required.

•
The property is currently serviced by well and septic. The septic /drainfield location for this building is
shown on the plans in the southern portion of the site. The subject property also includes an
easement in the northeast corner of the lot for use and maintenance of the septic site for the
property to the north.
The primary and secondary septic sites must be protected from impact during construction. Prior to
issuance of building permit, the applicant must provide proof of Hennepin County review of the
existing septic system to ensure that is in compliance and adequate to support the proposed
addition.
Wetlands
There are no wetlands on site.
Stormwater Management
The City Engineer has prepared a memo regarding the stormwater management and identifying
several items that must be addressed. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission also noted
items that must be addressed.
The existing swale along the north property line is not functioning as shown on the approved 1998
plans. The proposed site improvements must improve this drainage swale to comply with the
original approvals and address the new improvements.
Both the City Engineer and the watershed identified concerns with the proposed stormwater
management pond. Additional information must be submitted for review and approval by both the
City and the watershed and this has been included as a condition of approval.
Site Lighting
No new lighting is proposed. If the applicant chooses to provide additional site lighting (either on the
building or freestanding), they must submit a lighting plan to the city for review and approval, subject
to Section 1060.040 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Signage
The applicant has an existing monument sign north of the site entrance. No additional signage is
proposed.
Conditional Use Permit
Staff noticed this application as a conditional use permit amendment because this project originally
required a conditional use permit in 1998 (when it was zoned C -2) and we wanted to protect the
applicant against any potential ordinance changes that were being considered at the time of their
application. This business is a permitted use in the existing Business Park zoning district and the

i
•
proposed Light Industrial district. Due the unique zoning district situation discussed above, staff
recommends that existing conditional use permit be amended to allow the proposed use and provide
clarity to the applicant. We have discussed this approach with the City Attorney, who concurs with
this approach.
5. Conclusions
Staff finds that the standards for a rezoning, conditional use permit amendment and site plan
amendment have been met or can be addressed with the changes discussed in the staff report. We
have included conditions in the draft resolution to address these issues.
6. Recommendation
Move to adopt the following, as recommended by the Planning Commission:
a. Ordinance approving Rezoning from Agriculture to Light Industrial
b. Resolution approving findings of fact for Rezoning
c. Resolution approving the site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment

• Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission letter (May 31, 2011).

• Stormwater Analysis, Design and Report (May 2011), and
File Documents
The file shows an approved plan set (May 1998) and subsequent letter documenting a
field visit in August 1999 regarding drainage concerns. The drainage issue was a revised
pond "footprint" and slightly adjusted outlet structure location. No issues needed
additional investigation.
Plan Set
The submitted plan set reflects the following stormwater concerns:
• Pond "footprint" will be reduced, reducing the ability to provide discharge rate
control,
o A water quality benefit will be provided due to excavation of the pond
below the normal water level (NWL),
• A culvert near the building entrance (east) drains onto adjacent property to the
north. The original plan set shows a swale graded to the west providing drainage.
Elm Creek Watershed
The letter documents a reduced pond size and depth from approve plans. I concur with
the comments including:
• Reduction in pond size reduces rate control,
• The stormwater model needs revision,
• Resubmitted stormwater calculations need review.
Site Visit
A site visit showed the swale along the north property line is not functioning per plan.
Therefore any site improvements should improve this situation, whereas the addition of
impervious draining to the north would degrade the current condition.
Options to more directly convey this drainage to the westerly pond include; re-
excavating the swale or installation of stormsewer. These options may not be financially
feasible, so a cooperative arrangement with the north property owner may be the most
viable option.
Stormwater Analysis Design and Report
The report and model need revisions such as:
Gravel curve number (CN) should be raised from 85 to reflect impervious
characteristics (98),
Revising the model to show pond discharge at the 2.33 inch storm (no
discharge occurs in model), and
Water quality calculations should be submitted showing NURP water quality
volume,

Subject: Custom Filtration Expansion, Corcoran (City File No. # 11 -005).
Ms. Lindahl,
I have received your request for comments regarding this project. The original development plan
for this site (ECWMC # 98 -050) was reviewed and approved by the Commission's letter dated May
13, 1999.
According to the Commission's rules, this project would not need a review, because it does not
exceed the land disturbance and new impervious cover thresholds. However, I noticed that the
project is proposing to alter the existing stormwater pond. This could require a review of the
stormwater management plan.
Based on the narrative submitted to the City by the applicant, it appears that the existing pond was
either not built according to the design specifications approved in 1999, or the pond has
accumulated unusual amount of sediment volume since then. That must be rectified.
The Commission may need to review the stormwater computations carefully because the proposed
pond with a smaller footprint cannot provide a better rate control than the existing pond, while
keeping the same outlet structure, as claimed in the stormwater analysis. Furthermore, the proposed
excavation of the pond should have no effect on the outflow discharge rates, while it may improve
the water quality treatment. I speculate that there is an error in the pond HydroCad model.
A Commission review could be avoided if the pond footprint is not altered and the pond depth is
brought to the 1999 specifications approved by the Commission. However, if the pond footprint is
altered, then a review could be required. In that case, the proposed pond must be compared to the
pond configuration approved by the Commission in 1999 for stormwater rate and quality control
standards.
The Commission considers this project application incomplete. My comments should be considered
informal, only to help you in your planning process.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely.
Incomplete Application (Custom Filtration Expansion).DOC

RE: Narrative for Site Plan Review Application
Custom Filtration Building Addition
7219 County Road 116
Corcoran, MN
Custom Filtration Inc is located south of City Hall on County Road 116, Custom Filtration built
a new 12,000 square foot facility at this site in 1999. The building is a one story structure
constructed of painted smooth & rock -face concrete block. At this time, Custom Filtration is
requesting approval from the city to place a 4000 square foot addition onto the west side of the
existing facility. The building materials will match the existing building. The exterior will be
painted to match the existing exterior.
Custom Filtration is a manufacturer of wire cloth products that produces parts for many
industries including floor maintenance, irrigation and all terrain vehicles.
The typical work day hours range from Gam to 5pm, Monday through Friday.
The addition will be utilized for inventory storage space. This will free up current floor space in
the existing building to make more production possible. Along with more production comes the
requirement for more employees. Currently there are 20 full time employees. With the
addition, Custom Filtration will be able to add around 5 -10 more full time jobs.
The adjoining properties are a commercial business to the north and residential neighborhood
to the south. There is currently a tree buffer on the south side of the building towards the
residential area. There will be no openings towards the south except what is required for
emergency exiVfire fighting access. The existing truck access to the building is from County
Road 116 on the east side of the building. Parking and truck access is between the two
commercial properties and not visible from the residential side. There should be no impact on
adjoining properties as the existing truck access will have no changes made to it. There will be
additional vehicular parking that faces towards the County Road, but will have no impact to the
neighbors.
This addition to the building will maximize the building foot -print on the site. The site maintains
the required amount of parking required for this building usage. The site meets all required set-
backs except for the front parking which faces County Road 116. We are also requesting the
parking set -back from the County Road be reduced from 100' to 85'. This will provide parking
for additional employees and ease truck access to the loading dock.
'k ire=
The existing septic system's primary field is designed for 30 occupants in the building. This will
allow up to ten additional employees once the addition has been completed.
The well is down 216 feet. The facility requires little water for the manufacturing process.
There are 3 stools and 3 sinks in the toilet rooms as well as a kitchen sink for the break room.
The water consumption for this facility is less than a typical three bathroom home.
In conclusion, Custom Filtration is excited to be in a position for expansion with the current
economic conditions. We look forward to working with and staying in the City of Corcoran for a
long time to come.
Sincer y,
Dan Hamman, Custom Filtration Inc
