Some work orders have been deductions, where we have seen a cost savings by substituting materials or
changing work scope without compromising quality or aesthetics. Other work orders have resulted in additions
to the contract amount. The project budget is still carrying a contingency that allows for anticipated changes to
the cost of construction. Additions to the contract amount will be absorbed in the project contingency.

** Bid alternate is equal to the amount required to construct concrete curb in lieu of the bituminous curb
*** Base Bid + Alternate is equal to the amount required to build the project with concrete curb where shown
on the construction drawings. It is recommended to award the project with the alternate because the
project is still significantly under projected costs and the alternate will provide a longer lasting and more
maintainable road pavement.
**** Corrected amounts
The Base Bid + Alternate Engineer’s Estimate for this project was $776,000.
DISCUSSION
This agenda item is intended to proceed with the street improvements in Judicial Road and 155th Street and
watermain improvements in 150th Street by awarding the contract for work to McNamara Contracting, Inc. The
project will be significantly less costly than expected in the engineer’s estimate and what has been
communicated as probable costs to the benefitting property owners. City staff recommends awarding the bid
alternate of constructing concrete curb where there is no ditch to convey stormwater. The base bid included
asphalt curbing which will not last as long or be as effective in protecting the edges of the roadway pavement as
concrete curbing. This asphalt curbing would be eliminated from the contract if the alternate is approved. The
base bid column in the table above includes the deletion of the bid prices for the asphalt curb. The estimated
final total project cost including in the bid alternate and engineering and administration costs based upon the
bid results for the Judicial Road and 155th Street project is $160,000 less than what was estimated resulting in
lower costs to the City and an approximate assessment reduction of $1,000 per lot to the affected private
property owners. The watermain project on 150th Street is under the estimate by approximately $110,000.
These projects were planned for under the general outlay of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and the
project specific outlay of the preliminary report approved in January and ordered in March. The projects as
described in the preliminary report are feasible, cost effective and a necessary improvement for the City of
Burnsville.

Consider Resolution Approving Agreement with Dakota County and Mn/DOT for Removal of the Existing
Traffic Control Signal and Install New Traffic Control Signal with St. Lights, Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption,
and Signing on T.H. 13 at CSAH 30 Diffley Rd/Cedarbridge Avenue and at River Hills Drive. (09-503)
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
Adopt the attached resolution and approve Agreement between Dakota County and Mn/DOT, and the City of
Burnsville for the operation of the Traffic Control System at T.H. 13 at Diffley Rd/Cedarbridge Avenue and
River Hills Drive and have Mayor and City Manager sign.
FACTS
Mn/DOT had determined that there was justification and was in the public’s best interest to remove the existing
traffic control signals and install new traffic control signals with street lights, emergency vehicle pre-emption,
interconnect and signing on Trunk Highway 13 at Diffley Road/Cedarbridge and River Hills Drive. Council had
concurred with Mn/Dot on that proposal at their October 7, 2009 Council meeting and authorized the cost
participation.
This current Agreement replaces the existing Agreements between the State of Minnesota, Department of
Transportation, Dakota County and the City of Burnsville.
The Agreement established the cost sharing responsibilities, maintenance and operation responsibilities,
payment procedures, and liability issues. The annual cost of maintenance is included in the Public Works Street
budget. The Agreement is the standard signal agreement that the City has executed with Mn/DOT on previous
signal systems within the City.
The City attorney has reviewed this agreement and recommends its approval. Due to the length, the agreement
is not attached, but is available for review in the Engineering Department.

ITEM:
Public Hearing – City of Burnsville – Application for an Ordinance Amendment to Title 10, Chapter 19, Section
3A of the Burnsville City Code Relating to Outside Storage at Motor Fuel Stations.
60-DAY RULE SUMMARY: N/A
BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW:
This item was previously discussed at the April, 27, Council worksession. Pursuant to the current language in the
ordinance: All goods for sale by a motor fuel station convenience store other than petroleum based products
required for the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles shall be displayed within the principal motor fuel
station structure. The provision allows fuel stations to display oil, antifreeze and windshield washer fluid outside
but does not apply to pop, salt, or ice machines. This language has been part of the motor fuel station criteria since
1992 when the City last reviewed this section of the ordinance.
Pursuant to the ordinance the land use of a motor fuel station requires a Conditional Use Permit or approval of a
Planned Unit Development. Regardless of the specific business or land use outdoor sales or storage in the B-3
(General Business) or B-4 (Highway Business) Zoning Districts requires a Conditional Use Permit. No outdoor
sales or storage is permitted in the B-1 (Office Business) or B-2 (Neighborhood Business) Zoning Districts.
ISSUES
Staff surveyed Burnsville’s market cities to provide additional reference regarding exterior storage in other
communities. Attached is a brief outline of ordinance requirements from other communities in the metro area. Of
the eleven communities contacted four require a CUP for exterior storage and seven allow it as a permitted use
within specific parameters and conditions. A summary is below:
CUP Required
Apple Valley
Lakeville
Minnetonka
*Brooklyn Park
Permitted with Parameters
Bloomington
Coon Rapids
Eagan
Edina
Eden Prairie
Inver Grove Heights
Plymouth
*In Brooklyn Park food and beverage vending machines, ice machines and propane exchanges are permitted
outside.
There are a number of options to consider in association with amending the ordinance such as processing outdoor
storage as part of the fuel station CUP; requiring a separate permit for the exterior storage; limiting the size,
location, and setbacks for products; limit exterior storage to enclosed machines and limiting the type of
merchandise allowed outside. The complete worksession background and research is available from staff should
any Commissioners request it.
PLANNING COMMISSION BACKGROUND
Motor Fuel Stations – Title 10, Chapter 19
May 27, 2009
Page 2
The correlation between the ordinance criteria and staff enforcement is also important. The ability to prohibit or
allow exterior storage and display on a broad approach helps manage the staff time and resource on enforcement
action.
HISTORY:
The City Council reviewed this item at the April 14, 2009 worksession and was supportive of the amendment. The
Council directed staff to revise the language to permit ice machines only at fuel stations and move the amendment
forward to a public hearing. Council discussed aesthetics, convenience, and business operations as part of the
worksession. The proposed amendment is business friendly and a good compromise with minimal aesthetic
impact.

5.
Public Hearing – City of Burnsville – Application for an Ordinance Amendment to Title 10,
Chapter 19, Section 3A of the Burnsville City Code Relating to Outside Storage at Motor
Fuel Stations.
Slania presented an overview of the application advising that staff recommends that the Planning
Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the application.
Esch called for questions of staff:
Turner asked if the storage of firewood has been addressed.
Slania stated that staff is confident with the Fuel Station’s ability to abide by the requirements of the
items listed in the ordinance. Staff could follow up with firewood specifically.
Turner also asked about bait machines.
Slania stated the current ordinance does not allow outside pop, bait or DVD rental box machines without
a CUP or PUD.
Manhart asked if ice machines will be lit.
Slania stated the ordinance allows for information or directional signage. A permit would be needed if
they request something beyond that square footage.
Turner asked who will be watching these stations because she is aware of a station displaying washer
fluid within their cardboard case but the cardboard is disintegrating from getting wet. She asked if there
will be display requirements.
Teiken asked if staff had concerns with no limits on the size of ice containers.
Slania stated it was discussed but have left it up to common sense of what can be displayed and how
much. Size is not specifically written out in the ordinance.
Teiken noted there were other requirements relating to placement so he felt the displays would be limited
anyway.
At 8:10 p.m., Esch opened/closed the Public Hearing and called for discussion among the
Commissioners.
Manhart moved to approve the ordinance amendment.
Currier seconded the motion.
Ayes: Currier, Esch, Manhart, Teiken and Turner. Nays: None. Motion to approve passes (50).

ITEM:
Consider Approval of an Application for The Goodman Group for a Building Permit to Rebuild the Burncliff
Apartment Building Located at 12312 Parkwood Drive; and Consider Findings of Fact.
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
Adopt the Findings of Fact and Approve the Building Permit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The purpose of this item is for the city council to review and approve a building permit for the reconstruction of
the Burncliff apartment building located at 12312 Parkwood Drive. The building was destroyed by fire on
December 24, 2008 and the applicant has filed a building permit to reconstruct the 63 unit apartment building as
permitted by the zoning ordinance. The site received Planned Unit Development approval in 1968 for
construction of multiple buildings on one parcel. The zoning standards have changed since the original building
was constructed however, based on state law related to non-conforming uses and structures, the property can be
reconstructed as long as a building permit is applied for within 180 days of the date of destruction. The building
permit needs to be approved by the city council which can place conditions on the approval needed to minimize
impact to adjacent property.
The only deviation for the site is the east side yard building setback which is proposed to be a 30’ as opposed to a
50’ setback. The former building also had a 30’ setback. The ordinance changed since the original apartment was
constructed and now there is a 50’ setback requirement for buildings located adjacent to collector streets which
Parkwood Drive is now designated as. To mitigate impacts associated with the shorter 30’ versus 50’ setback,
staff recommends that the applicant provide a landscape plan which adds additional trees/shrubs to augment the
existing deciduous trees planted adjacent to the east lot line. A condition has been attached to require the
submittal of a landscape plan.
The proposal is to reconstruct the apartment building in the same vicinity as the former building. The proposed
building will contain 63 apartment units which is what existed previously. There will be a mix of unit types
ranging from studio, one and two bedroom units some with dens and others without. The building exterior will be
compatible with the existing apartment building to the west. The applicant has contacted the brick manufacturer
to see if they can create the same brick design as was used in the 1968 construction. Other exterior materials
include vertical fiber cement siding, and trim, vinyl siding, prefinished aluminum fascia and soffits and asphalt
shingles. To better handle storm water, the new building is proposed to have a pitched roof with a drainage
system where roof water will be directed to the drainage system through pipes and gutters. Also, the building will
be raised about 1 foot above the former building to provide for better drainage. The other change is that the
interior stairways have been relocated from the east and west sides of the building to areas located nearer the
center of the building to lessen the distance that residents need to walk to access their units. Sidewalks adjacent to
the building are proposed to be replaced however no changes to the parking lot are needed or proposed.
The subject site is not platted. Because only a building permit is needed to rebuild per state statute, platting is not
required to rebuild the apartment building. As there is no plat or new development (only rebuilding what was
legally there before the fire), there are no new development fees that are required such as park dedication. The
city can however require utility fees to be paid per city policy. The fee amount is calculated based on the fee

structure in place when the original building was constructed (1968). The stormwater fees have not been
previously paid and total $12,900 at the 1968 rate. All required fees will need to be paid prior to issuance of the
building permit for the reconstruction.
The recommendation from staff is for the city council to approve the building permit subject to the following
conditions:
1. Submittal of a landscape plan to be approved by staff including a buffer/screening on east property line.
2. Approval of the building permit by the Building Official.
3. Any outstanding utility fees shall be paid prior to issuance of the building permit.
The entire set of building permit plans have been submitted and are on file with the Building Official. In an effort
to be succinct and identify related zoning issues, the attachments included in this background are what the council
typically reviews.

IN RE:
Application of the Goodman Group
For a Building Permit to Reconstruct
An Apartment Building at 12312 Parkwood
Drive Pursuant to City Code Title 10-7-2
Nonconforming Uses and Structures
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
FINDINGS OF FACT
On June 2, 2009, the Burnsville City Council met at its regularly scheduled
meeting to consider the above application of the Goodman Group for approval of a
building permit to allow the reconstruction of a 63 unit apartment building pursuant to
City Code Title 10-7-2 Nonconforming Uses and Structures to be located at 12312
Parkwood Drive.
The City Council now makes the following Findings of Fact and Decision:
1.
The subject site is zoned R3B/PUD; High Density Residential/Planned
Unit Development and guided by the Comprehensive Plan for HDR; High Density
Residential land use.
2.
The subject site received PUD approval in 1968 to allow more than one
building on a single parcel and the apartment building was constructed in 1968.
3.
Since construction of the apartment building the zoning ordinance has
been modified to require high density residential buildings to be located fifty (50) feet
from collector streets.
4.
The apartment building was originally constructed with a thirty (30) foot
setback from the east lot line.
5.
The apartment building was destroyed by fire on December 24, 2009.
6.
State law allows nonconforming uses and structures to be rebuilt following
destruction provided the owner applies for a building permit within 180 days of the
destruction date or in this case by June 22, 2009.
7.
The applicant submitted a building permit application on May 15, 2009 to
reconstruct the 63 unit apartment building substantially similar to the building that was
destroyed and utilizing the pre-existing 30’ foot east front yard setback.
8.
The zoning ordinance specifies that the city council may approve a
building permit for the reconstruction of a nonconforming use or structure and can place
conditions on the approval needed to minimize impact to the adjacent property.
9.
No land use clearances are required to reconstruct the apartment building.
DECISION
Applicant’s request for building permit approval, is hereby approved, in
accordance with the plans reviewed, modified, approved, and recorded in Clerk’s
Document No. D-09- ___ subject to the following conditions:
1. Submittal of a landscape plan to be approved by staff including a
buffer/screening on east property line.

ITEM
Consider Waiving Fees for Development Review Application for Southwest Burnsville (Dan Callahan).
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
Motion approving the request and set a limit of $5000 of staff time to be used.
FACTS
At the May 12, 2009 worksession, city council directed staff to bring forward a request by Dan Callahan seeking
waiving of the development review application fees with a limit on staff hours/cost included. The nature of the
application stems from the April 14, 2009 worksession where a restudy of southwest Burnsville was discussed. The
direction from the council at that meeting was for the residents of Southwest Burnsville to propose changes via a
zoning ordinance text amendment. This would require a planning application and then seek public comments as
part of the process. Council is seeking a comprehensive and accurate account of what the residents’ desire and
specific language of what is proposed. The processing of a planning application to be submitted by the requesting
residents will yield such input and be a basis for council decision on the matter.
The City of Burnsville has an established fee policy that is reviewed and adopted each year. One of the fees
includes a planning application (land use clearance) fee of $660 with a $5,000 escrow. The $660 fee covers
standard city costs incurred to process every public hearing (support staff, mailing, agenda, notices, minutes,
routing information, recording documents, etc.) The escrow fee is collected to allow for charging of
staff/consultant time to review the technical aspects of each specific application. The more complex the application
is the more staff time is needed to review and the more hours/fees that is charged to the escrow account. This
method of charging each applicant leaves the city’s cost of processing applications to the developer and not on the
taxpayers.
Due to the complexity of the issue and the uncertainly of the specific request staff suggests a limit of $5000 staff
time/costs which is approximately 50 hours. This will be enough time to assist the applicants with preparing a redlined version of an ordinance, preparing and mailing the public hearing notices, doing some limited analysis of the
impact, and preparing the staff backgrounds. This will not cover updating any technical information or hiring
consultants or any environmental review. Such work would be substantially more. If we were to hire a consultant
rather than use staff, the cost would be higher and/or we would get less quantity of work for the same amount of
money. At this time and given the current workload, staff anticipates having resources to complete the review
within the required 60 day timeframe in-house.

ITEM
Consider Authorizing Letter of Support for Federal Funding for Truck Hwy 13 / CSAH 5 Project.
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
Authorize a Letter of Support for SAFETEA-LU Federal Transportation Funding for the TH 13/CH 5 Interchange
project for Dakota County’s Application.
FACTS AND ISSUES
Every two years as part of the Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act – A Legacy for
Users, cities and counties across the country have the ability to apply for federal funding for transportation
improvements. In the Twin Cities metropolitan area the solicitation for applications and the awarding of the
funding is completed by the Metropolitan Council and its subcommittee, the Transportation Advisory Board. The
maximum amount that can be awarded to one project is $7 million. In 2005 and 2007 the City applied for this
federal funding, but we were unsuccessful.
The Dakota County Transportation Department is going to take the lead in developing the application in 2009.
City staff has been involved with their staff in this work. As part of the application, a letter of support from the
municipality in which the project is located is required. This does not obligate the City to funding the project, but
supports Dakota County in its application.
Staff recommends approval of a letter of support for the 13/5 project.

ITEM
Public Hearing – Consider Resolution Ordering Improvements and Approving Plans and Specifications and
Ordering Advertisement for Bids for Street Rehabilitation of Southcross Drive, Burnhaven Drive, Burkards
Drive, and Crystal Lake Road (09-106) and Intersection Improvements at Burnhaven Drive and Crystal Lake
Road (09-501).
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
Adopt Standard Resolution A-4A ordering improvements, approving plans and specifications and ordering
advertisement of bids for improvements described above.
FACTS
This agenda item is intended to proceed with this year’s street improvement projects process by ordering the
improvements, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids on the following
projects:
x
x
Street Rehabilitation of Southcross Drive, Burnhaven Drive, Burkards Drive, and Crystal Lake Road
(09-106)
Intersection Improvements (Roundabout) at Burnhaven Drive and Crystal Lake Road (09-501)
The above projects above were planned for under the general outlay of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and
the project specific outlay of the preliminary report approved at the last City council meeting. The street
rehabilitation project will provide a resurfacing of the described streets and repair of failing curbs, sidewalks
and manholes. The roundabout will provide a safety and traffic management improvement at an intersection
that has a high historical rate of injury accidents. All of the projects listed in the background as described in the
preliminary report, are feasible, cost effective and necessary improvement projects for the City of Burnsville.
DISCUSSION
City staff has received significant numbers of phone calls and emails questioning the assessment policy
specifically based upon their home not having driveway access to the road being rehabilitated. This higher rate
of questioning of the assessment policy is typical of roadwork completed on higher classification roadways
where many of the rear yards of the residential homes abut the street.

ITEM
Public Hearing - Consider Resolution Adopting Assessment Roll for CSAH 42 Street Lighting (07-202).
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
The CSAH 42 Street Lighting Project is proposed to be assessed which requires a Public Hearing. Any property
owner wishing to object to their assessment must file a signed written objection before the hearing or at the
hearing, or they waive their right to appeal. Objections after the Public Hearings are invalid. The City Council is
required to approve a resolution adopting the assessment roll, either as submitted or as revised.
FACTS
•
At the May 5, 2009, Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution declaring the costs to be assessed,
approving the assessment and calling the public hearing for the assessment roll for CSAH 42 St. Lighting.
•
Notice of the Assessment Hearing has been mailed to each of 12 parcels that abut the County State Aid
Highway 42. The notice declares the exact amount of their assessment as well as details on the property
owner’s right to object to the amount to the City Council.
•
The completion date for the assessment process is July 30, 2009. On that day, the assessments must be
certified to the county auditor. That action must be preceded by a 30-day period during which those being
assessed may pay the assessments in full without interest.
•
The proposed assessments total for this project is $76,200. Discussion of the financing on the project is
attached and will be presented at the public hearing.
ISSUES
Each year as part of the assessment process, a resume is prepared for the project proposed to be assessed.
Attached is a copy of the Resume for this project. Staff will provide a brief explanation of the work along with
the proposed assessment amounts.
If an assessment objection is received, staff may have an immediate response to individual comments, or in some
circumstances, the objection should be received and referred to the staff for investigation. The uncontested
portion of the assessment roll should be adopted. If the City Council feels the objections cannot be addressed
immediately, a report will be presented to Council on all objections at the next Council meeting which is
scheduled for June 16, 2009.
Page Two
Agenda Background Item No. 8
June 2, 2009
If there are contested portions of the objections, and if Council feels confident staff’s investigation will not result
in any changes being made to the assessment roll, a motion by the City Council adopting the assessment roll as
prepared is required.
ASSESSMENT OBJECTIONS
No objections have been filed at this time. If any objections are received between now and the Council meeting
they will be distributed at the Council meeting for discussion.

IMPROVEMENT CSAH 42 STREET LIGHTING PROJECT:
TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS & GENERAL LOCATION:
The light poles installed were within the theme lighting area set by the City Council. The
lighting consists of a pattern of one decorative “Domus Style” light followed by one taller utility
light, followed by a Domus Style list, ect. The pattern and light style was done consistent with
the County Road 42 lights already inplace between County Road 5 and I-35W. The poles all
include power receptacles so future amenities can be hung and lit from them if desired.
TOTAL PROJECT COST:
$217,200
PROPOSED ASSESSMENT: $76,200
LENGTH OF ASSESSMENT: 15 Years
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
City policy states that Arterial Streets should have continuous street lighting and that it should be
considered for construction where it doesn’t exist when street construction projects take place.
Dakota County was widening County Road 42 from County Road 5 to the Savage Border and
therefore this was the opportunity to install the continuous lighting through the theme area from
County Road 5 to the railroad tracks.

ITEM
Consider Authorizing a Transportation Enhancement Funding Grant Application for Construction of a
Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail along Black Dog Road.
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
Authorize staff to submit a Transportation Enhancement (TE) Funding Grant Application to the Metropolitan
Council for Construction of a Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail along Black Dog Road.
FACTS
The Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) to the Metropolitan Council is soliciting applications for projects to
be funded through the TE program which is funded by Title I of the Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient
Transportation Equity Act – A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). This funding will be allocated in 2013 and
2014.
This grant program funds up to 80% of the project’s construction cost to a maximum of $1 million in the TE
category. It is the local agency’s responsibility to fund the remaining 20% (or more, including cost over-runs)
of construction, plus the engineering and right-of-way costs; SAFETEA-LU funds can only be used for
construction.
Dakota County has contacted staff about the possibility of partnering on a TE program grant application to
construct a trail along Black Dog Road, between 35W and Cedar Avenue (see map). This trail section is
indentified as a regional trail need in Dakota County’s Trails /Greenways Plan 2030.
Likewise, the City of Burnsville’s Trail Master Plan identifies this trail segment as a high priority. It would
provide a link to the Cedar Avenue bridge crossing, as well as the future MN River regional trail system.
Further, the City has slated Black Dog Road for reconstruction in the year 2012. If the grant was received, the
road and trail project could be combined to gain efficiencies for both projects. Construction would tentatively
occur in 2012/2013.
Staff from Burnsville and Dakota County has also met with representatives of the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) and Xcel Energy in regards to this proposed project. Xcel Energy is open to working with the City
on a trail easement, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service is very supportive of the project. In fact, the USFWS
has committed to pursuing other grant funds available to their agency to support construction of the trail.
Page 2
Item Number 9
June 2, 2009
The project provides an opportunity for a multi-agency collaboration to complete this section of regional trail.
The total cost to construct the trail is estimated at $1.2 million. The project cost estimate is very rough at this
point, and further refinement will need to occur (via a Feasibility Study) once the city has confirmation that the
grant funds are available. This will be a complicated trail to construct due to poor soils in the area, and the
bridges involved along Black Dog Road.
The TE program would fund $1 million, and Dakota County has agreed to provide the $200,000 in matching
funds required. The City of Burnsville would be responsible for design, engineering and construction
management of the project. While much of this would be in-kind staff support, it is anticipated the City will
have to provide some funding to complete a Feasibility Study and some of the design work. Staff estimates the
financial commitment for this work to be in the range of $50,000 - $100,000. If the grant is awarded, staff
would suggest adjusting projects in the city’s CIP to take advantage of this opportunity. This can be reviewed
as the city updates its 5 year CIP as part of the annual budgeting process. Of course, Council always has the
option of not accepting the grant if City funding becomes an issue, or the project cost estimates derived from
the Feasibility Study come in higher than expected.
In accordance with the City’s adopted policy on grant applications, staff is requesting authorization to submit a
grant application for this project. Applications are due June 15, 2009. It is anticipated that all applications will
be ranked and successful projects identified by January or February of 2010.

ITEM:
Consider Ordinance Amendments to Title 10 and 8, of the Burnsville City Code to Modify Requirements for Bus
Benches and Transit Shelters and Policy Changes to Adopt Revised Bus Bench License Fees and Removal of the
RFP Process.
POLICY DECISION/ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED:
Adoption of Ordinance, Rescind Policy 5.246, Approve Summary Ordinance, and Approve Change to Bus Bench
Fee in Policy 5.310.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: N/A
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / ISSUES:
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendments to Title 10 (Zoning Ordinance) and held
a public hearing on May 27, 2009. The public made no testimony on the ordinance amendment. The Planning
Commission was supportive of the language and did not raise any concerns except to question the notification of
adjacent residents that a shelter would be next to their property. Staff does not notify residents of right of way
permits issued next to their property. If council would like a notification, then language could be added into the
ordinance that addresses shelters specifically.
As directed by council at the May worksession, the proposed amendments and changes proposed will allow
private vendors to continue to provide private benches and shelters at MVTA approved transit stops until such a
time as the MVTA takes over the route and provides its own facilities.
In addition to changes to Title 10 (Zoning Ordinance), which is the responsibility of the planning commission, the
council is also requested to rescind policy 5.246 which will eliminate the RFP program for bus bench licenses.
With the MVTA providing benches/shelters and allowing for private bench companies as well, there is no need
for an RFP as one anticipated. The city council will also need to make changes to the Title 8, Chapter 14
regarding Right-of-Way. Changes to this area will allow for MVTA to provide shelters and benches with no
advertising and with a one-time right of way permit. The 2009 fee for right of way permit is $185. No licenses or
renewals will be required. For private bus bench providers and annual license is required as we currently
administer. For new and relocated benches a right of way permit will now also be required. There is a current
limit of 60 benches throughout the city which will now need to correspond with MVTA designated stops and be
removed in the event MVTA provides their own transit shelter/bench. For now, staff proposes to maintain the
limit of 60 benches with MVTA facilities getting priority over any private provider. As MVTA provides more
facilities, the private benches will be phased out and at some point the ordinance permitting private benches with
advertising can be eliminated. However, until then and during this transition staff will have to continue to
monitor the situation.
COUNCIL AGENDA BACKGROUND
City of Burnsville – Bus Bench / Transit Shelters
June 2, 2009

Staff was also asked to look at the fees for administering the license program. The City currently charges a
license fee of $240 (new) or $120 for a renewal plus $28 per bench. There is a limit of 60 benches in the city
resulting in total revenue of approximately $2000 per year. In researching what other communities charge, the
fees are across the board. If we kept the application fee in place and doubled the amount per bench to $56, then
our renewal per bench would be on the high end but not necessarily out of line when considering the total cost.
This would amount to approximately $3500 per year revenue if all 60 benches were provided privately. Staff is
seeking direction from the council as to how much to increase the bus license fees. The higher the fee, the less
likely benches may be provided if advertising costs cannot be absorbed by the marketplace.

The Planning Commission recommended 5-0 approval of the proposed ordinance amendment as presented.

ITEM:
Public Hearing – City of Burnsville – Application for Ordinance Amendments to Title 10 and 8, of the Burnsville
City Code to Modify Requirements for Bus Benches and Transit Shelters.
60-DAY RULE SUMMARY: N/A
BACKGROUND OVERVIEW:
The purpose of this item is for the planning commission to hold a public hearing to consider amending the zoning
ordinance to add “bus benches, shelters and transit facilities” as a permitted use in all of the zoning districts. The
amendment is needed to implement the proposal by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), which
intends to have designated stops and provide shelters/benches. This is a new direction which the city is supportive
of. While several ordinance and policy changes are needed, the planning commission is responsible for the public
hearing for the zoning ordinance amendment. Staff is providing additional background for city code and policy
changes that the city council will act upon in order for the commission to have a full understanding of the total
process.
Draft ordinance 1 is attached for consideration by the planning commission and is the subject of the public hearing.
The current zoning ordinance specifically identifies bus shelters as a permitted accessory use in the Heart of the
City (HOC) zone. The city attorney recommends that all of the zoning districts be amended to allow bus benches,
shelters and transit facilities as “permitted uses” provided they comply with title 8 of the city code which regulates
the use of right of way and is administered by the city engineer. The city council will also review draft ordinance 2
and potential policy changes at their June 2nd meeting. A public hearing is not required for the city code or policy
changes. The process for a city code amendment requires only that the city council approve the change and that
the ordinance is published. The council can change its policies at any time and revisions are made part of the city
policy and procedures manual. Even though the purpose of this public hearing is limited to considering the
ordinance to make bus benches, shelters and transit facilities permitted uses in all zones, staff has also provided the
planning commission with the proposed bus bench regulations and policy to understand how bus benches will be
regulated in the future.
HISTORY:
The city’s bus bench license ordinance was established in 1997 to provide for privately owned and maintained
uniform benches at appropriate locations. The ordinance allows advertising signs to be located on the back of the
benches which provides the incentive for vendors to install and maintain benches in Burnsville. In 2006, the city
was approached by a vendor to consider changing its process for licensing benches to allow for more competition,
improve the appearance, function and maintenance of bus benches and position them at proper locations for transit
service. In September 2006, the city council adopted an interim ordinance limiting the duration of bus bench
licenses from one year to six months and to allow staff time to develop a request for proposal (RFP) process for
bus benches. The ordinance, city code and Bus Bench RFP Policy were adopted however the new process has not
been utilized to date as the city was working with Dakota County regarding county right of way issues. The
majority of potential bus bench/shelter locations are within county or state right of way however Dakota County
did not allow signage on and placement of benches in county controlled right of way. Furthermore, the existing
benches in county right of way do not have county authorization to be in their right of way and would not be

granted new permits with signage. The city has worked with the county over the past two years to resolve bus
bench location and sign issues.
Early this year the city was notified by the MVTA that it is initiating a pilot program to provide designated stops
rather than use the “flagging” system and its own transit facilities (benches, shelters, transit stop identification) on
certain routes within Burnsville. The MVTA anticipates that it will provide facilities throughout the city as part of
a phased process. This being the case, the city council reviewed the MVTA proposal and staff was directed to draft
the necessary amendments to accommodate the MVTA program, allow existing private vendors to provide
benches/shelters until such a time as the MVTA takes over the route and provides its own facilities. The city
council will also be considering changes to increase the license fees.

SIGNAGE:
Part of proposed ordinance 1 includes adding language to the definition of “Governmental Sign” to identify signs
erected by the transit authority with the permission of the city, as a government sign. The draft ordinance also
proposes to delete “Bus Bench” signage and call it “Public Transit” signage instead which is defined as signage to
identify public transit locations as regulated in title 8 (the right of way section of the city code).
LIGHTING: N/A
ENGINEERING ITEMS CONSIDERATIONS:
The city engineer administers permits for the use of right of way and the proposed ordinance and policy changes
will specifically define transit facilities as one of the elements (in addition to utilities) that will require permit
approval to locate in the right of way. The license provisions will continue to apply to private vendors as they are
currently regulated. The MVTA which is designated as the public transit provider for the city, will need to
coordinate with the city engineer for each phase and obtain the necessary right of way permit approval. The
PLANNING COMMISSION BACKGROUND
City – Bus Bench & Transit Shelters
May 27, 2009
Page 3
MVTA will not be required to obtain a license to provide transit facilities only the right of way permit. Signage for
the MVTA public transit facilities is limited to signs to identify the public transit location. No private advertising
will be allowed on the MVTA provided public transit facilities.
POLICE/FIRE/BUILDING CODE CONSIDERATIONS: N/A
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
This public hearing is to consider draft ordinance 1, which will result in simply defining bus benches, shelters and
transit facilities as permitted uses in each of the respective zoning districts. A separate ordinance (draft ordinance
2) will be considered by the city council on June 2nd for incorporation into title 8 of the city code. Draft ordinance
2 provides the regulatory framework for the city engineering department to administer right of way permits for
MVTA to locate its facilities in the right of way. In addition the council will be requested to rescind policy 5.246
which will eliminate the RFP program for bus bench licenses. Staff is in the process of researching license fees for
administering the license program for the city and the result of this research will be provided to the city council
which may decide to increase fees over the current fee schedule identified in the attached Planning Fees and
Charges 2009 table. The amendments and changes proposed will allow private vendors to continue to provide
private benches and shelters at MVTA approved transit stops until such a time as the MVTA takes over the route
and provides its own facilities. Once MVTA makes application to the city engineer to locate in the right of way,
the city will notify the private vendor of the need to remove or relocate the private bench/shelter within 60 days.
Over time, it is expected that the MVTA will ultimately provide all transit facilities within Burnsville.
The draft ordinances and public hearing notices were sent to the existing bus bench license holders in addition to
the standard publication process for the zoning ordinance amendment.
ROLE OF PLANNING COMMISSION:
The role of the planning commission is to review the proposed ordinance amendment and make a recommendation
as to its appropriateness for inclusion into the zoning ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION (With Conditions):
Staff recommends that the planning commission recommend approval of the proposed ordinance amendment to the
city council.

4.
Public Hearing – City of Burnsville – Application for Ordinance Amendments to Title 10
and 8 of the Burnsville City Code to Modify Requirements for Bus Benches and Transit
Shelters.
Slania presented an overview of the application advising that staff recommends that the Planning
Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the application.
Esch called for questions of staff:
Currier asked who polices the benches or maintains them.
Slania stated the bus benches are privatized and the owner has the right to sign it and is obligated to
maintain it. The goal would be to put MVTA in control of the shelters and benches.
Teiken asked what the process was to install a bench or shelter.
Slania stated the MVTA would still need to come to the city to get a Right Of Way Permit that the
Engineering Department reviews and releases specific to that location. There would be no public
notification.
Teiken commented that other communities do Adopt A Shelter programs if MTVA would be interested in
that.
Manhart asked if shelters or benches proposed along state or county routes would have to go to those
government agencies to get approvals.
Slania stated the city’s right of way authority is limited therefore the state or county would need to
approve those permits.
Strehlo added that permits would have to come from those agencies if on state or county right of ways.
At 8:00 p.m., Esch opened/closed the Public Hearing and called for discussion among the
Commissioners.
Turner moved to approve the ordinance amendment.
Currier seconded the motion. Ayes: Currier, Esch, Manhart, Teiken and Turner. Nays: None.
