Councilmember Hartmann stated that the City should n,c require residential lighting but felt that there should be an option for neighborhoods to request street lights if.the lights comply with some type off City standard. He also felt that lights should be installed at mayor arterials where lights have not y been installed. Councilmember Cummins stated that he finds the absenr of street lighting attractive and would generally oppose a street lighting policy except in areas w�-r= for public safety purposes it is necessary to ini lights. Councilmember Witt agreed, but asked what the City'- response ity'response would be to neighborhoods requesting lights.

Mayor Lockwood stated that he does not see the need->; for residential lighting and pointed out that lightie installation costs are insignificant compared to on going power costs. He felt however that if there could be some arrangement where the neighborhoods art willing to pay for the lamps and the on-going costs he could approve of neighborhood lighting requests. Councilmember Blesener stated that she is opposed to.,- residential o:residential lighting and felt that Council can react to C requests as they come in, o rag—a-�lie3 She asked staff who determines whether an intersectic -is safe or unsafe and which intersections should be lighted. She felt that it is important that there be some kind of policy which identifies which intersections sho.uld"have lights, design of standardE commercial industrial needs and so forth.

SIDEWALKS The Council acknowledged a report from Engineer Eckle in response to prior Council discussions on the proposed Copperfield Subdivision sidewalks, informing that the City currently has an ordinance in place which addresses sidewalk repair and snow removal.

Councilmember Cummins stated that the salaries proposed will keep the elected officials' compensation in line with other communities.

Dfi FROM: Chief of Police / SUBJECT: Appointment of Probationary Police Sergeant Introduction The purpose of this memo is to recommend the appointment of Officer Donn Anderson to the position of probationary Police Sergeant. Discussion The testing procedure has been completed and Donn Anderson has emerged as number one in the written portion and number one in the oral evaluation. He has now successfully passed the physical and psychological exams as well. Donn has been a Mendota Heights Police Officer for 6 years and had previously served with the Lilydale Police Department. Before that Donn was a Police Officer in Glen Rock, Wyoming where he held the ranks of Sergeant and Deputy Chief of Police. He has a total of 1 1 years of law enforcement experience. During his tenure with Mendota Heights he has consistently been one of our most diligent and hard working officers and I expect that he will show the same determination as a supervisor. Recommendation It is recommended that Donn Anderson be appointed to the position of .probationary Police Sergeant effective February 1, 1986. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 15, 1986 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Adm' L,rAtor FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Access to Ophoven Lot Critical River Corridor Variance CAO 85-07 nTRr11C4TnN- At the December 3, 1985 City Council meeting Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Ophoven presented a plan to construct a new single family home within the City's Mississippi Critical River Area. That home needed driveway access across an easement from Trunk Highway 13 and was to be constructed through a portion of 40% slope. The Council felt the driveway slope was entirely too steep and did not approve their proposal. They directed staff to work with Dr. Ophoven and the neighbors to try and find another access point. i In developing a plan for that access, I first talked with Howard Dahlgren about the problem and together we developed some alternative access points: 1. Mrs., Val Lilleberg, 1155 Orchard Place owns a large tract of land contiguous to the Ophoven property which could be subdivided at some point in the future. Howard and I formulated one possible scheme of subdividing the land that could provide'access to the Opholven lot (by easement initially). I contacted'Mrs. Lilleberg by phone to make an appointment to try and show her the scheme. Mrs. Lilleberg refused to even discuss the subject. She said there was absolutely no way access would be allowed across her property. 2. Dr. Steve Hunter, 1175 Orchard Place, who recently subdivided some of his father's land and constructed a new home on the new lot, is also contiguous to the Ophoven lot. Access from the Hunter lot is not as good as it would be from the Lilleberg lot, but is possi- ble. Dr. Hunter stated that, although he would not like to, he would agree. -to sell Dr. Ophoven an access easement for $25,000. He went on to say that his brother wants to build a home near him and would be interested in purchasing the lot from Dr. Ophoven. Dr. Hunter would much prefer to have his brother as a fellow driveway user and hopes that Dr. Ophoven would abandon his plans to build on the lot and sell it to his brother. 3. The other contiguous landowner is the Kingsley Planned Unit.De- velopment. Access from the Kingsley development is prohibitive because of a deep drainage ravine. srt; RECOMMENDATION: Because of the fact that there were-problems with every access point to the property, I talked with Tom Hart to see what legal recourse the City might have. He told me that being as there is only one resident involved he can see no "Public" purpose being served and that the City could not use its right of eminent domain to acquire access. He recommends that the City not get further involved. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to follow legal advice they should take no further action. Applicant can on hisown continue to negotiate with the one neigh- bor agreeable to providing access.

Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Proposed Liquor Ordinance Amendment INTRODUCTION The recent Marriott development proposal precipitated a discussion on the need for potential revisions to the City's liquor licensing ordinance. I met with Tom Hart last Friday and, as the result of our discussion,, have prepared a proposed ordinance amendment. The amendment proposes changes in the ordinance which would allow a license application from Marriott without significantly impacting the overall ordinance. DISCUSSION - The proposed amendment, which is attached, redefines Hotel and Motel by increasing the number of guest rooms from 50 to 100 and reducing the number of restaurant seats from 100 to 50 (see Section 1.5). Section -10.6 is also proposed to be amended to provide for minimum and maximum Limited Service Hotel dining room sizes. Two new sections have been added. New Section 1.5(2) defines limited service hotel/motels as facilities with restaurant seating capacities of no more than 75; and Section 7.1(1)b provides for a reduced on -sale license fee for.limited service hotels/motels. Section 7.1(1) of the original.ordinance, which established an on - sale license fee of $10,000 has been re -numbered as 7.1(1)a. We have left the fee structure for limited service facilities blank, feeling that the amount should be discussed and determined by Council. We have proposed the two-tier on -sale license fee to avoid the need to restrict the number of available on -sale licenses. If language to provide for a- "Limited On -sale" license were adopted, at least two of the available 6 on -sale licenses would have to be set aside for this classification. RECOMMENDATION•/ACTION REQUIRED --------------------- -------- After Council•determination on the license fee for limited service hotels/motels, we recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance. If Council concurs in this recommendation, it should adopt the proposed Ordinance No. 224, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1403." CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 22.4 CAN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1403 The City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, ordains as follows: { SECTION 1_ Ordinance No. 1403, entitled "An Ordinance Licensing and Regulating the Sale and Consumption of Intoxicating -Liquors," is hereby amended in the following respects: A.

Fra(7z City Admin' trator_ SUBJECT: Request for Business Survey INTRODUCTION January 16, 1986 The Eagan and Mendota Heights city staff's have recently had discussions about doing concurrent employment surveys of our business residents. The purpose for this memo is to seek your approval. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND Our interest in an employment survey has been prompted by the Metropolitan Council's proposed Metropolitan Development and Investment Framewark (MDIF). That document, once adopted, will set parameters for growth and development in the metropolitan area, and set priorities for investment in regional systems (i.e., airports, parks, sewers, and transit). One "priority" identified in the draft MDIF is areas of regional employment - commercial concentration. The definition for a regional employment center is 10,000+ jobs in a contiguous area. While the draft MDIF does not identify any employment concentration in Dakota County, the Eagan and Mendota Heights staffs are convinced that we are approaching the 10,000 job figure along the 494 corridor.. To substantiate our contention, we need to get some firm data. Whether.we are successful in convincing the Metropolitan Council to desig- nate this corridor as a regional employment center, we feel that the data will be useful in arguing for enhanced levels of regional service. For example, last year we discussed improved bus service with MTC route planners, but were really hampered by our'lack of better data on the employment base. THE SURVEY Eagan is working on a simple survey format; similar, to the attached earlier version, and on formating.a D -mase program to tabulate the data. Each City would conduct its own survey and tabulate the results. The data would then be combined as needed. The Chamber of Commerce can provide a mailing list of contact persons at local businesses. They have 69 locations in the 55120 zip code. Once we have the base data.assembled, we would work with the Chamber to keep it updated as new businesses move to the City. - 2 - COST Direct costs for mailing lists, stationery, postage, etc., shouldn't run more than $100-$150. The only other committment would be staff time to make follow- up calls and tabulate the results. With a potential 69 responses, that shouldn't be too difficult. RECOMMENDATION I am recommending that we work with Eagan on the project. The data would be useful for our own.local planning purposes, as well as for arguing for 'improved regional services. ACTION REQUIRED No formal action is required. I am merely seeking your concurrence to proceed with the project.

Fraz City Admin' rator SUBJECT: LMC Request for Action on Tax Increment Financing. Attached is a memo from the LMC/NAHRO Tax Increment Financing Project regarding legislative policies of the Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC). Apparently, the AMC will.be considering adopting a.legislative policy that calls for counties t6 have a direct voice in approval or denial of new or expanded tax increment districts. The LMC/NAHRO committee is asking all .cities to contact their county commissioners, requesting that they oppose this AMC legislative -policy - 'ACTION REQUIRED To -decide whether Mendota Heights should send a letter to the Dakota County Commissioners, requesting their opposition to this AMC proposed legislative policy. KDF:madlr attachment ILI League of (� Minnesota Cities Y Y atvinq minnosofis Hou:Inq n Tax Increment Financing Project � ,7 ¢' January 14, 1986 '� b'it C }- TO: Clerks, Managers, and Administrators FROM: Donald A. Slater, Executive Director Lo.;"-� RE: Association -of Minnesota Counties Position on Tax Increment Finance The 1986 legislative -session will begin in less than three weeks. Among the issues*to be debated in St. Paul will be the budget deficit, the farm crisis, insurance costs, and the role of local government in economic development. As you are aware, the economic development issue will encompass such topics as the mega mall, -fiscal disparities, and tax increment financing (TIF). To assist the Legislature in discussing TIF.the Legislative Auditor and the League/NAHRO Task Force studies will be available. In addition to the studies several organizations such as the Citizens' League and Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) have or will adopt legislative policy regarding TIF. The Citizens' League is suggesting a phasing out of TIF with it being replaced by a development fund supported by excess increments and tax levies. The AMC will be holding its mid -Winter meeting the week of January 26 and will debate a policy that would permit COUNTIES TO HAVE A DIRECT VOICE IN THE APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF NEW OR EXPANDED DISTRICTS. While the AMC position does not define the approval or denial process, its position must be opposed by all cities. 'Economic development is a municipal function. Counties do not have the expertise to review TIF proposals. The imposition of county and possibly school district approval would seriously. impede development and hinder our state's business climate. I urge you to contact your county commissioner and request that he or she oppose the policy which is entitled GC4-Tax Increment Financing (TIF). A copy of the proposed policy is attached for your review. It is our understanding that the policy -is being advocated by the metropolitan area counties of Hennepin and Ramsey. We are also aware from the TIF survey that many counties have supported TIF and have not demanded review and approval. Thank you for your cooperation. -OVER-' G.G. 4 - TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) MINNESOTA COUNTIES SUPPORT REVISION TO THE TAX INCREMENT FINAN- CING LEGISLATION BY THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE WHICH ADDRESSES THE FOLLOWING POINTS: * An approval or denial process that recognizes the interests of each major taxing district. * Limitation of both physical areas subject to tax increment and the amount *of assessed value that 'can be captured within a taxing jurisdiction. * The original assessed value of the district should not be alterable. * Tax increment financing should not be used to fund improve- ments traditionally paid through .special assessment or--i•ror,•other dedicated revenues. * :Administrative expenses should include costs incurred by the county for all of its costs associated with TIF district estab- lishment and maintenance of records. * Timelines and utilization of TIF funds should be tightened to increase accountability: * TIF projects should not be exempted from the fiscal dis- parities pool in the metropolitan area. * Service agreements between the project and the city ought to be restricted if they are used to subsidize ori replace tax resources lost to the tax increment. - Discussion: Counties in Minnesota are concerned that tax increment financing in many instances is being used beyond its intended purposes and will ultimately jeopardize the "availability of -TIF for -legitimate public purposes. Although the authority to create a TIF,district rests with the local government establishing it, the impact is felt by all taxing districts effected by the•.gain or loss of market values. It has become increasingly difficult for'all of the impacted citizens to understand or even have basic knowledge of the costs relative to the short term or long term goals. Necessity testing.or "but for" analysis has become a meaningless part of the decision making process in many instances. Counties have a vested interest in the impact of a TIF district, both fiscally and administratively. It now is fair and reason- able that counties have a direct voice in the approval or denial of new or expanded districts. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 17, 1986 TO:. Mayor, City Council and Cit mvstrator FROM: Larry Shaughnessy, Treasurer SUBJECT: Tax Anticipation Certificates INTRODUCTION . For several years now we have used tax anticipation certificates to our advantage (15/20,000.per year) in additional interest income for the General Fund. The issues have usually worked out around $550,000 under existing arbitrage bond regulations and Minnesota statutes. We have been checking with our bond attorneys on any restrictions which might limit our use of TAC in the new federal tax bill. While we don't as yet have a final answer, it appears that we can continue to issue the certificates in about the same manner. A preliminary review of our'December 31, 1985 balances indicates we could qualify for an issue of between $500,000 and $600,000. ACTION REQUIRED If Council agrees that certificates should be used, give authorization for solicitation of offers from our customary banking sources for proposals to purchase an issue of Tax Anticipation Certif icates.in an amount equal to the maximum allowed by law. Proposals would be received on February 18 or March 4. LES:madlr January 10, 1986 TO: Mayor, City Council, City i;trator FROM: Dennis J. Delmont, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Bike Trail - Lexington & Highway 110 Council expressed concern over vehicles from Royal Auto Service parking on the marked bike trail. Officer Dave Olmstead spoke with the management and straightened the matter out. Royal removed the cars and said that they would keep them off the trail. The only problem they foresee is.when customers drop their cars off after hours. In those cases the management will move the vehicles as soon as possible in the morning. They are concerned over the fact that the striping on the lot does not serve the purpose of identifying the -area as a bike trail. This is particularly difficult in the winter when there is snow on the ground. DJD:cb 1/16/86 MEMORANDUM TO: . Mayor and City Council FROM: Chief of Police SUBJECT: Frank Stelter Histor As you may.recall, Mr. Stelter lives at 644 Brookside Dr., and is legally blind. He lives alone and has a difficult time with traffic when he has to cross the street to get his mail: Although there is a State law that requires that traffic yield to a person with a white cane, the people driving" in the neighborhood have not been responding too we] l and Mr. Stelter has had some close calls. Discussion Sgt. Wicks has worked with Mr. Stelter and headway has been made. Shorty assigned the on -duty officers to keep an eye on the situation when they have the time, and he contacted the West St. Paul Postmaster to attempt to get Mr. Stelter's mailbox moved to the same side of the street as the _., house. The Postmaster said they would contact Mr. Stelter and make LL arrangements to move the box in the spring. As of today, Mr Stelter says that the situation has improved considerably and he thanks us for our efforts. Action Required None - information only. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 23,,1986 TO: Mayor, City Council and City in �tor FROM: Thomas C. Knuth Senior Engineering Technician SUBJECT: Updated Feasibility Report Sanitary Sewer and Water Extensions Bisanz Property Job No. 8233 Improvement No. 82, Project No. 7 nrcrrrccrnM . Bisanz Rogers Lake Company has recently expressed a desire to.sell their parcel of land west of St. Thomas Academy to International Office Systems, who intend to build their corporate headquarters, planned as a two story, 59,000 square foot building to be placed adjacent to Rogers Lake. The sale is contingent on availability of City sanitary sewer and water. At some future date, the company plans to subdivide the south part of the parcel into another buildable lot. In late 1982, a feasibility report for the area was completed by the City at the request of Bisanz, and this is an update of that report. Since the potential owner of the building must have,July occupancy, time is of the essence; therefore the two schemes which are presented will only serve the area west of Lake Drive. ALTERNATIVES The following constitutes estimated cost figures and potential assess— ment methods for the two schemes. SCHEME 4 This is the simplest and quickest plan to serve the parcel; it consists of sanitary sewer only because water service and fire protection can be made available from the recently completed 16 inch trunk water main crossing I - 35E. This plan includes the construction of a lift station and force main that will ultimately serve the entire area west of Dodd Road and east of I - 35E. The layout of the work for this scheme is shown on Sheet 4. This scheme will require the installation of approximately 1050 feet of 8 inch and 10 inch sanitary sewers, a lift station and 650 feet of force main for an estimated cost of $133,000. The maximum amount of potentially assessable frontage is estimated to be 2020 feet. Because -.1220-feet,..of-the assessable frontage is owned by St. Thomas Academy and the Tousignants, it probable that one-half of this portion of the assessable costs will be deferred and one-half will remain in .Green Acres until either parcel is sold or developed. The unit assessable cost for sanitary sewer is estimated to be $35.00 per foot. A certain portion of the costs for the lift station and force main will be held in abeyance and added to assessments for future utility projects to the east. The water services needed to serve the proposed building can come from the 16 inch trunk water main on the west property line adjacent to I -35E. The City can assess the frontage of the parcel and'apply the monies to the future watermain extensions on Mendota Heights Road. Based on 470 feet of assessable frontage for the Bisanz parcel and an average cost of $28/foot for watermain in commercial areas, $13,160 could be assessed for watermains. SCHEME 5 SANITARY SEWER This scheme simply extends the gravity sanitary sewer and trunk water main to Lake Drive, thereby serving additional property on Mendota Heights Road from the proposed lift station to Lake Drive. This scheme only becomes viable if the Tousignant parcel is taken off the "Green Acres" classifica- tion. This scheme calls for 1750 feet of sanitary sewers, a lift station, and 650 feet of force main. To do this work will cost an estimated $165,200. After deducting a portion of the lift station and force main chargable to future projects, the unit assessable cost will be $33.00 per foot. However, as discussed under Scheme 4,•up'to 2780 feet of assessable frontage will be deferred or in Green Acres until further land development occurs, leaving 'the City to carry approximately $140,000 including lift station costs. WATERMAINS To construct watermains to Lake Drive will require the installation of. -3200 feet of 8 inch and.16 inch pipe and appurtenances at' an approximate cost of $187,600. Oversizing for trunk main would amount to about $67,200 to be paid by Water Revenue Fund leaving $120,400 to be assessed over approximately 3580 feet for an unit assessable cost of $33.60 per foot, including domestic and fire services. As indicated above, up to 2780 feet will be deferred•or on Green Acres for an amount.of $91,000, which the City would have to carry until.future development. SUMMARY If To show side-by-side comparison, the following table is provided.,. SANITARY SEWERS Description Sanitary Sewers Watermains TOTAL PROJECT COSTS Cost Chargable to Future Projects & Oversizing Watermain Net Assessable Costs Potential Deferred Assessments Green Acres Deferred Assessments Scheme 4 $133,000 - $35/foot 0 $133,000 (63,000) 70,000 21,000 21,000 * Tousignant Parcel off "Green Acres" Scheme 5 $165,000 - $33/foot 187,600 - $32.70/ft. $352,600 (115,400) 237,200 94,200 *0 - 87,700 RECOMMENDATIONS: The two schemes discussed in this updated report are partial systems to accommodate specific parcels. The balance of the area from Lake Drive to Dodd Road should be served when either Mendota Heights Road is built to ultimate MSA design, (now scheduled for 1989-90), or the land is developed for use. Scheme 4, which is the minimum project to serve the Bisanz parcel, is the recommended method as the amount to be carried by the city in deferments and Green Acres is considerably less than Scheme 5. Scheme 5, developed to show the Tousignants the costs of serving their entire parcel, would be the recommended method if they decide to remove "Green Acres" and develop their land., Both schemes, although slightly more expensive than ordinary locations because of the lift station and force main, are' feasible and recommended for construction. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, motion should be passed adopting Resolution No. 85- , RESOLUTION ACCEPTING ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CALLING FOR HEARING ON PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER AND WATER EXTEN- SIONS TO SERVE THE BISANZ PROPERTY AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 82, PROJECT NO. 7) City of Mendota Heights Dakota'County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 86 - - - RESOLUTION ACCEPTING ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CALLING FOR HEARING ON PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER AND WATER EXTENSION IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE BISANZ PROPERTY AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 82, PROJECT NO. 7) WHEREAS, the City Engineer has submitted his report to the.City Council with respect to the proposed construction of the following improvements to serve the Bisanz Property and ajacent areas, to -wit: y The construction of an extension to the City's sanitary sewer system, including appurtenances and incidentals thereto, and the acquisition of easements, and the reconstruction where necessary of streets and easements in the areas hereinafter more particularly described.

Swanson City Clerk "V4 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS -MEMO January 30, 1986 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Frazel City Administra SUBJECT: Response to Metropolitan Council Staff Report on Southeast Area Plan Amendments INTRODUCTION - - Attached. -is the initial Metropolitan Council staff report on -our comprehensive plan amendment for the Southeast area. I met with Council staff and our Council representative Mary Martin, on Thursday, January 30, to discuss t: the report. The issue will be presented to the Metropolitan Community Development Committee, a subcommittee of the Council, at its meeting of Thursday, February 13. At that meeting, the committee will decide whether to adopt the staff recommendations as a recommendation to the full Council. The purpose of this memo is to seek Council concurrence for our response to that staff report. nTC(TTCQTOM As you will see in reading the report, it is generally complimentary to our efforts to implement measures that enhance compatibility of land uses with airport noise. However, the report suggests that the plan amendment not be approved until the City has provided a modification that insures compliance with the Metropolitan Council's Guidelines for Land Use Compatibility With Aircraft Noise. In my meeting with the Council staff on January 30, we discussed just what they meant by.the statement: in other words, what do the,y want us to do to insure compliance? They were not very specific; but have agreed that they will come up with more detailed recommendations in a revised staff report by Tuesday, February 4th.- I hope to have that report for submittal to the Council before Tuesday evening. I suggested that one possible way to address their concern for the Planned Unit Development area south of Mendota Heights Road, would be to include in the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance a stipulation that noise attenuation would be one of the features of the development that -the City Council would consider in approving or denying a development application. My thinking is that we would commit ourselves to a general goal of'achieving the intent of the Land Use Compatibility Guidelines, without adopting specific technical standards. The real difference of opinion is over how and whether we should enforce the Compatibility Guidelines for the single family neighborhoods north of Mendota Heights Road. One of the recommendations coming out of'the Governor's Task Force on Airport Noise is that local communities around the airport should immediately w amend their Comprehensive Plans to come into compliance with the Compatibility Guidelines. The Council staff was of the opinion that we should make.some provision for enforcing those guidelines in the single .family neighborhoods, presumably by new standards of noise attenuation adopted into,the City's building code. I argued with the Council staff that it would be much more difficult to implement noise attenuation features in single family home developments, since the City would not be working with one developer on a large scale Planned Unit Development project. Rather, there would be numerous builders and homeowners. The City of Mendota Heights, along with a number of the other cities who have been involved in the Guidelines discussions in the past, have taken exception to the suggestion that we should adopt superordinate building code standards to address noise attenuation. The reasons for our opposition have included: 1. Des,pite,numerous requests from the cities, neither the Metropolitan Airports Commission, the Metropolitan Council, or the Pollution Control Agency has ever developed technical standards that could be adopted by the cities into their ordinances. Further, the cities feel that they do not have the technical expertise or resources to develop their own standards. 2. The issue of economic loss to the property owner by special building code requirements has never been addressed. In other words, who is going to compensate the property owner for lost value? Some have argued that if this special building code requirement is to accommo- date a regional system (_i.e., the airport), then the property owners ought to be compensated by either the regional tax base or the users -'' of the airport. 3. The noise contours are based on technical standards of acceptable noise levels, along with a presumption about the preferred corridors -which the aircraft follow in arriving or departing the airport.- We have argued that at the local level, it is not practical to tell a homeowner on one side of this line that he has an aircraft noise problem, should invest several thousand dollars in noise attenuation, while someone on the other side of the line does not have a problem and need not bear the extra expense. Rather, we have argued that we should use a logical "break point" like Mendota Heights Road. In addition, we have argued that the contour lines are not all that accurate, since the planes aren't always flown in a consistent direction out of the airport, but tend to wander. 4. That interior noise reduction is not the real problem anyway in single family neighborhoods. Rather, most complaints come during the season when.people are spending time in the outdoors, and have the windows to their houses open. Special expense for noise attenuation will not solve these problems. RESPONSE TO THE COUNCIL STAFF REPORT .$y Tuesday's City Council meeting, I should have the final report of the Metropolitan Council staff. I have also sent a copy of the preliminary report to, 2 City Planner Howard Dahlgren for his comments. Based on his thoughts, and the issues outlined above, I will draft a -letter for your consideration Tuesday evening, which we would forward to the Metropolitan Community Development Committee (our Council representative, Mary Martin, has suggested this approach). Staff would also plan�to attend the-February.13 meeting to.answ.er- questions and press our position. ACTION REQUIRED To consider the staff proposed comments, amend them as Council desires, and approve for transmittal to the Metropolitan Council. KDF:madlr attachments 3 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Suite 300 Metro Square Building, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 612-291-6359 DATE: January 30, 1986 T0; Metropolitan Community DeveTopment Committee FROM: Long Range Planning Department (Barbara Senness) SUBJECT: City of Mendota Heights Comprehensive Plan Amendment Land Use Change, Southeast Area Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 11666-2 Metropolitan Council District 15 AUTHORITY TO.'REVIEW The Metropofiitan Land PTarming Act of 1976 requires that amendments to TocaT comprehensive plans be prepared, submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same manner as the original plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd.. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted pursuant to Minn. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing. proposed amendments provide a 90 -day review period for amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems and a 60 -day review period for amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems. Mendota Heights submitted its proposed amendment on December 6,.1985. An December 20, 1985, the Chair determined that the amendment presented a potential impact on the metropolitan airport system; therefore,, the -90 -day review period.. applies. The 90 -day deadline for review., of the amendment is March 6, 1986. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AMENDMENT The amendment proposes to change the Tand uses on approximately 500 acres of Undeveloped land in the southeast area of.the city. The changes were initiated in response to the imminent completion of I-494 and the continuing impacts of airport noise. Attachments 2 and 3 illustrate the existing and proposed land use designations. ' BACKGROUND i During the first ten days of review, the -Chair determined that only a portion of the land area affected by this amendment raised potential airport impact issues. Therefore, the Chair informed the city that it could take implementing action for projects located outside the noise zones before the Council completed its 90 -day review. The area outside the noise zones is illustrated on Attachment 1 (cross -hatched area).. ANALYSIS The following analysis, focuses an the regional land and air transportation systems., The amendment does not negatively affect any of the other regional systems or guide chapters. Land Transportation The additional traffic generated by the proposed land uses will have a minimal impact on I-494 and the intersection of Dodd Rd. & I-494. Noise levels adjacent to I-494 may exceed Minnesota Pollution'Control Agency (MPCA) standards for residential development. The city should be aware that Mn/DOT will not provide any type of noise abatement for new development adjacent to the existing highway, and developers should take this into account in their site planning. Air Transportation The adopted Aviation Guide Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide recognizes the need to promote compatibility between the aviation system and surrounding land uses. Policy 4 of the Aviation Chapter states:. "Land use surrounding an airport in the metropolitan airport system should be compatible with the role and function assigned to that airport; -where incompatibility exists, affected agencies and jurisdictions should jointly participate in developing a program to mitigate the incompatibility ..." On March 24, 1983 the Metropolitan`Council adopted Guidelines for Land Use Compatibility with Aircraft Noise as an amendment to the aviation chapter.. Thecompatibility guidelines represent the outcome of a multi -jurisdictional effort to help fulfill the intent of this policy. The southeast portion of Mendota Heights is under the approach pattern of the most heavily used runways at MSP InternatiTonal Airport -(Runways 11/29 Left and Right). These parallel runways are utilized more than previously envisioned under the preferential runway system because.of capacity needs --particularly during peak.hours. In December, 1985, 23 percent of take -off and 86 percent of all landing hours of operation occurred over the Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor. When possible, flight paths from these runways are directed over the I-494/Highway 55 corridor adjacent to southeast Mendota Heights. The area covered by the proposed amendment is not, however, within the study'area.of the federally funded "Part 150 Study" of airport/land use compatibility -being conducted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission. (Comments of the Metropolitan Airports Commission -are included as Attachment 4.) As part of the Metropolitan Council's land use planning efforts to promote compatibility and preserve essential air travel corridors, it developed aircraft noise contours, based on an extensive analysis of existing and , forecast airport operating conditions. The�Council identified four aircraft noise exposure zones for major and intermediate airports: severe (I), serious (II), significant (III) and moderate (IV). These zones form the basis for the compatibility guidelines, which classify land uses as consistent, provisional, conditional, or inconsistent (defined below). The plan amendment includes land area in noise zones III and IV.. Aircraft noise impact in zone III can be categorized as sustaining. Zone III is exposed to aircraft noise of approximately 70 to 75 LEQ for takeoffs and 65 to 70 LEQ for landings during the busiest hours at MSP International. In addition to the intensity of the noise, the location of buildings receiving the noise must also be fully considered as changes in airport operations can provide some relief for certain uses in this area. Zone IV is best described asC:sg�y2taircraft rea where aircraft noise exposure is considered moderate. It is enoise of 65 to 70'LEQ during the busiest hours. Noise,exposure is predominantly related to takeoffs. The area is considered transitional becaUsex'la'nd use's -are `lik-ely to -'`receive the most benefit from potential changes in airport operations. Development in Zone IV may be generally free from major land use restrictions as such, but would benefit from insulation levels above typical new construction standards in Minnesota. while such measures may abate the level of interior noise, insulation cannot eliminate outdoor noise problems. Building locations and site planning can help mitigate both interior and exterior noise in some cases and are strongly encouraged. Another factor to be considered is the ambient or background.noise environment, particularly for those parcels that are adjacent to I-494 which may experience highway noise in excess of and in addition to airplane noise. When staff compared the plan amendment..(Attachment. 2) with the city's existing ' p-1 an (Attachment; 3)', staff, detern4i ned the p l an' amendment • has the,,' potenti al f or achieving substantial improvements in land use compatibility. For example, the amendment replaces a residential area in noise zone III with a limited business - planned unit development (LB -PUD), a -land use potentially more compatible with ,expected noise levels. Office, commercial and retail land uses are .provisionally cons•istent-with the compatibility guidelines, whereas low density residential uses would be inconsistent., A park area in noise zone IV remains unchanged in the amendment and is consistent with Council guidelines. An adjacent parcel designated for a school is.also the sane as the existing plan, and is provisionally consistent._ A small low density residential area, conditionalTy acceptable, is, also, the same as previously planned_ Three large areas of land are proposed for higher density development than previously proposed: These'land.uses may not be more compatible with aircraft ,/ noise, deMding on a- variety of factors. The parcel in the northeast corner of the affected area is presently classified as.rural residential and'would'be-changed to low der:sity (two units per acre) residentiaLL Part of this land is outside of the noise Zones and is consistent with CounciT policy, -although housing -units in-the,area.wou.ld.benefit from improved noise attenuation considerations. The remainder is conditionally consistent. housing design considerations (not reflected in the amendment) must reflect the potential aircraft noise and include appropriate measures to mitigate the impacts. The remaining two parcels in the study area are proposed for medium and high density residential PUDs. These would be provisionally or conditionally consisted depending on several f actors,.tncluding whether: any singler.fami Iy dwelling units- would- bei in the PUD and* ttt& 0hysical configuration•of mu•1ti'ple family dwelling units; apartments with shared entrances are considered provisionally acceptable;: those with indt vi dual entrances are conditional.. Although permitting higher density development within the noise zones may seem contrary to goals of minimizing the impacts of noise on households; two factors help work to achieve mitigation. Multiple dwelling housing units typically have lower levels of associated outdoor activity and thus residents do not =experience the higher levels of unattenuated aircraft noise. A.1so,,-mu.7t0pTe dwelling housing units frequently have shared building entrances and fewer window areas,and therefore less potential for noise infiltration. Both these factors depend on specific design considerations; apartment units may have outdoor amenities such as swimming pools and tennis courts, and some may have individual entrances. Provisional and Conditional Land Use Requiremnents Under the Land Use Compatibility Guidelines, provisional land uses must comply with certain restrictions. New structures built in this area shall be acoustically constructed so as to achieve the following interior sound levels: Land Use Interior Sound Level.. Residential 45 dBA Educational-- 45 dBA Office 50 dBA Under the Land Use Compatibility Guide Tines, Mendota Heights is responsibfle for implementing and enforcing the structure performance standards within its J jurisdiction. No building or zoning ordinances relating to noise attenuation has been included in the plan amendment_, Conditional compatibility requires a greater._level of scrutiny to determine whether the land use is acceptable. The Council's compatibility guidelines ` include eight land use review factors covering relationship to the airport and its operations, level and'n;ature of -associated outdoor use, location and site design and construction restrictions, occupant notification, and other planning considerations. Mendota- Heights has submitted very little inforcttation that would allow the Council to determine whether or not to approve these uses. FINDINGS The comprehensive plan amendment is a posi-tive step in .the ,direction of- land use compatibility with aircraft noise. The affected area lies within a critical air transportation corridor that needs to,be preserved; failure to achieve proper, levels of noise.'attenuati,on will serve to perpetuate, --rather than mitigate, problems associated with aircraft noise_ I It Based an comparison of ;the proposed land uses with the Land Use Compatibility Guidelines for new development in the vicinity of major airports, the following determinations can be made: Land Use, Type Noise ,Expo. ...suretZone Comp.at,i b.i l..i tv ., o.,.,..--,.. �..i..........�- Limited Business- PU(Y III Provisional" Low -Density Residential IV Conditional School _IV Provisional Park IV -Consistent High -Density Residential -PUD IV Cond./Prov.* Low -Density Residential -II -IV -C-onditional Medium -Density Residential -PUD IV Cond./Prov.* (* Depending on site proposals) A portion of the low density residential II parcel lies outside of the noise zones and conforms to Council policy. Mendota Heights did not submit any evidence with the plan amendment that it has adopted codes and ordinances ensuring aircraft noise/land use compatibility as required'in the Guidelines for Land Use,CompatibilitX with Aircraft Noise. Further, -the city did not indicate any intent to apply to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for a waiver from standards. Therefore, the Council cannot determine whether or not the majority of the proposed land uses,are consistent with its land use compatibility guidelines. } RECOMMENDATIONS That the Metropolitan Council: 1. Commend the city of Mendota Heights for its efforts to implement measures .that promote -compatibility -of land uses with airport'noise. 2. Inform the city of Mendota Heights that the proposed park land use conforms to the Metropolitan Development Guide . 3. -Inform.the city of Mendota Heights that it will not approve this amendment without a modification ensuring compliance with the Council's Guidelines for Land Use;Compatibility with Aircraft Noise.

The aircraft overflight noise should not be intense, however, it,may annoying to some, particularly to those seeking a rural type residence. In su=ary, it appears that the City of Mendota Heights is making an effort to recognize the inpact of aircraft noise, particularly in Noise Zones 3 and 4 namely the areas adjacent to 494. Furthermore, in the northeast sec- tor,of this "southeast" area, the proposed residential development, pri- marily single -family -residential on two -acre lots, does reflect additional concern. The area certainly is one that is -now receiving substantial aircraft noise and will .continue to receive such. As new development pro- ceeds in this area, it is.essential that new residents be aware that aircraft noise may impact certain outdoor activities.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: North End Streets MSA Variance Job No. 7843 Improvement No. 79, Project No. 3 DISCUSSION• At the last City Council meeting the plans and specifications for upgrading the North End were approved. Staff then sent the plans to Mn/DOT for their review and approval. Mn/DOT has now called back and informed us that there are two curves on Chippewa Avenue that are 20 and 15 m.p.h. . "design" curves. The minimum allowed on an MSA street is 30 m.p.h. These curves have existed as they are for many years with no problems from a safety standpoint. The road is a-40 foot wide street, which is wider than a normal city street, and the volumes are low. Most people probablycut the corners a little and make the curves comfortably. To change the alignment of the street now so that the curves would be of a 30 m.p.h. design, would be very costly and inconvenient to the residents. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that a variance be requested to allow the street alignment to remain as it is. -ACTION REQUIRED• ,. If Council wishes to 'implement the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 86= , RESOLUTION REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE M.S.A.

PROJECT NO. 140-108-01 (IMPROVEMENT NO. 79, PROJECT NO. 3) WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights desires to upgrade Chippewa Avenue (Dodd Road to Annapolis) in the summer of 1986; and WHEREAS, Chippewa Avenue is an existing City street that was last upgraded in 1962 when City utilities were installed; and WHEREAS, the alignment of Chippewa Avenue was established long before 1962 when it was a county road; and WHEREAS, all surrounding property has developed respecting Chippewa's existing alignment and grade with building setbacks and garage and driveway elevations;'and . WHEREAS, this existing alignment does not allow the speed limit to meet the M.S.A. required 30 m.p.h. minimum; and WHEREAS, changing the alignment to provide a 30 m.p.h. limit would impose an extreme economic and social hardship on the City and its resi- dents; and WHEREAS, the road has existed in its current alignment more than 30 years with no safety problems. NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by'the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, to request a variance to the M.S.A. Rule Number 8820.9912 that provides for a minimum speed limit of 30 m.p.h. and that allow one 20 m.p.h. curve and one 15 m.p.h. curve remain on Chippewa Avenue. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 4th day of February, 1986. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Robert G. Lockwood, Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson, City Clerk CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Y Fri 1 Cit Adm' stra V January 30,1986 SUBJECT:, Appointment of Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND At the first meeting in December, Council received the resignation of Fire Chief LeRoy Noack, and appointed Assistant Chief John Maczko as Acting Chief and Bill Lerbs as Acting Assistant Chief. The purpose of this memo is to recommend the permanent appointment of Mr. Maczko and Mr. Lerbs to these respective offices, and to'further recommend a salary commensurate with respon- sibilities. DISCUSSION The volunteer fire department is created and governed by City Ordinance No. 101, which states in part, "the Chief of the fire department, the Assistant Chief, and the Fire Marshal shall be appointed by the Village Council, which body shall, in making such appointments take into consideration the recommend- ations of the Village Administrator and members of the Fire Department." You may recall that Maczko and Lerbs were first selected for officer positions through a competitive application and interview process almost two years.ago, .when it was expected that Chief Noack would be resigning. Applicants were screened by an interview panel consisting of three city councilmembers, police chief Dennis Delmont, Eagan fire chief Bob Childers, Mendota Heights firefighters Gordon Skjerven and Bill Chisler, and myself. Maczko and Lerbs were unanimously recommended candidates of that interview panel, although at that time Lerbs was to be appointed as Chief and Maczko as Assistant Chief. Subsequent to that decision in the spring of 1984, Chief Noack decided not to resign, at which time Council voted to appoint both Lerbs and Maczko as Assistant Chiefs. Because the situation was not working out well, Lerbs resigned as Assistant Chief later that same spring, but Maczko has continued to serve as Assistant -Chief for the past year and one-half. In my opinion, John Maczko has carried out the responsibilities of Assistant Chief very capably over the last year and one-half,and has also shown his leadership capability during the past two months that he has served as Acting Chief. He takes a very pro -active and thoughtful approach to dealing with the issues 'that come before him, and I am fully confident that he will lead the department well. Although�Bill Lerbs has served as, Assistant Chief for only a very short period of time, I am also confident that he -has the capabilities and - 2 - qualities to serve in this capacity and assist John in directing the department. On January 15, I met with the entire Fire Department, and among other things, solicited their input on the appointment of a permanent Chief and Assistant Chief. Later that evening, they took a closed ballot vote, and as you can see in the attached letter from Secretary George Lowe, both John and Bill received the over- whelming endorsement of the members of the department. RECOMMENDED SALARIES In 1985, the Chief and Assistant Chief- were paid $3930 and $2163 respectively. The salaries for these two officer positions are their total compensation, including all fire calls, cleanups, training, as well as the administrative duties associated with the office. At the time we appointed John and Bill to then acting capacities, they received 4% salary increases to $4087 and $2249 respectively. The 1986 budget, as adopted, includes funds sufficient to increase these salaries to $5000 and $3000 respectively. Based on the following study.and analysis, I am recommending that we increase their salaries to those levels. Attached is a copy of the Stanton Salary Survey for the position of Fire Chief. As I think you can see, it is almost impossible to make any meaningful comparisons, because of the wide diversity in the way that volunteer chiefs are paid throughout the metropolitan area. Therefore, I have not relied on comparative data in making a recommendation. More instructive, I think, is looking at the number of hours 'required to do the job, and the translation to an equivalent hourly rate. I met with John and Bill to discuss how much time they anticipated putting in on the job. - John is estimating roughly 600 hours a year, made up of 140 hours of direct firefighting, plus cleanups, drills, monthly attendance at Dakota County and Wakota Chief's meeting, special events such as Dakota County aircraft disaster, and approximately 200 hours a year of general administration. The Assistant Chief's job is less. - well-defined, and will be developed over the coming year. However, as a general guide, we are expecting approximately 8 hours per week of administration and general duties, plus approximately 140 for firefighting, yielding a rounded figure of 550 hours. Dividing these estimated hours into the ,respective salaries of $5000 and $3000 yields hourly rates of $8.33 for Chief and $5.45 for Assistant Chief. These can easily be justified by reference to the hourly firefighting rate for other members of the department: Captain $7.25 Service over 5 years 6.75 Service 1-5 years 6:25 Service under 1 year 5.75 The figures can also be compared to others in the City including $13.00 for Fire Marshal, and over $20 for the Recreation Director and Police Chief and Public Works Director. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the re, commendations above, it should pass a motion appointing. -John Maczko as Fire Chief at an annual salary of $5,000, and -Bill Lerbs as Assistant Chief at an annual salary of $3,000. y J QIL C/(L,Vg L o / 4 ✓ L IQ i2eparinvienl Member.

Mendota Heights' annual dues to the League are approximately $3100, so our extra assessment for the Amicus Program would be around $310. We are certainly interested in and affected by the outcome of state court cases applying to.municipalities. I am also of the opinion that it is usually most cost effective to combine efforts with other cities. Therefore, I think that the request is worthy of Council's,consideration. However, I would think that we might want to condition our support on a fairly broad base support from other cities, or on folding this extra cost in with the regular LMC dues, to be paid by all member cities. ACTION REQUIRED To consider what response Council would like to give to the survey request, and direct staff to respond accordingly. ` (I11 1111 �C rr II11 IIII league of minnesota cities DATE: W Survey Mailer January 14, 1986 City Managers, Administrators, Clerks and Attorneys (for action by the .City Council) FROM: Stan Peskar, General Counsel SUBJECT: Municipal Amicus Program The establishment of a Minnesota Court of Appeals has greatly increased the number of decisions from Minnesota courts that establish state wide precedent. The rapidity with which the intermediate court of appeals hears and decides cases, and the number of cases appealed, has made it impossible for the two to four friend of the court briefs which the League of Minnesota Cities.is currently capable of filing each year to have any systematic influence on the development of judgemade law impacting Minnesota cities. Most cities regard the amicus work of the League to be useful and necessary. See the attached letter from Mounds View. The problem is the lack of staff resources to do anything but a hit and miss job of filing in all the cases that need our help. In the past six months the League has been asked to file briefs in the following cases. 1. City of Mounds View v. Johnson to court of appeals Issue: Is the district court judge the real legislative decision maker? The district court ordered a rezoning of a parcel zoned residential to commercial since it was in contravention of a comprehensive plan based on property adjacent to the parcel. Property along one side and across the street was zoned commercial and the council failed to down zone this neighboring property when the issue was copsidered. 2. City of Barnum v. Carlton County to�court of appeals Issue: Does a city have power to site a necessary city facility at a state approved location if a county.objects based on county zoning? The district court decision denied the City of Barnum a conditional use permit for the construction of a stabilization pond system on a site that had PCA approval and for which grant funds had been allocated. -OVER- 1 80 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 551 01 (61 2) 227-5600 3. City of. Duluth v. Howard F. Young to Supreme Court Issues: 1) Must public employers afford a veteran employee an opportunity for a ---.---------,veteran's-preference-hearing-when,-the-positionis abolished, _in -other words, is a veteran always the last employee to be laid off? 2) Is a veteran's preference panel the proper body to review the good faith of the city in abolishing a position for economic reasons? 3) Is a knowing delay of 2 years in filing a request for a veteran's hearing a waiver of that right? The Court of Appeals decided that a veteran on a request made two years after the lay off must be afforded a -veteran's preference hearing to determine the validity of abolishing a position and must be paid during the interim. 4. Oswalt v. County of Ramsey and city of New Brighton to Supreme Court Issue: Are cities estopped by equivocal statements of a city employee when another employee told the claimant he could request and possibly obtain relief by applications for a variance? A new Brighton resident purchased a house in the city in 1975. In 1978 the city passed a floodplain management ordinance placing the house in a floodway. The city allowed the house to stay as' -a non -conforming use. In 1980 the lot and house began - to collapse. Because of serious and continuing damage, the city condemned the house. The condemnation order required either the removal or the repair of the house in compliance with the flood plain ordinance. The resident alleged that the condemnation caused him to suffer symptoms of emotional stress. After foreclosure, he sued both New Brighton and Ramsey County under several theories including inverse condemnation. The.Minnesota Court of Appeals found that the city -'s actions constituted a taking, even though the city building inspector's supervisor informed the owner that he could apply for a variance and the owner did not apply for one. The building inspector's order to make repairs to comply with the,floodplain ordinance or to reduce the size the building was held to be an act of ending a non -conforming use. The city has an ordinance providing for termination of a non -conforming use without compensation at the end of its useful life. The court held that the city did not use the established procedure to determine useful life for the house which resulted in a taking. 5. Itasca County v.,Olson to Supreme Court Issue: Who are managerial or supervisory employees and for which kinds of personnel decisions does the open meeting statute override the Data Privacy Act. Itasca County began a job performance evaluation of the Hospital administrator at an open meeting of the hospital board. At the administrator's request that the board close the meeting to the public because the discussion would involve information classified as private personnel data under the Data Practices Act. The county then sought a.declaratory judgment to determine the parties' rights and responsibilities. The trial court ruled that the Data Practices Act creates an exception to the Open Meeting Law which is subject to -2- court review.. The Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed , assuming without investigation or analysis that any employee evaluation carried on by a local governing body is only for supervisory employees. It also decided that super- visory employees have no justifiable expectation of privacy in their evaluations. Now cities do not know which employees are entitled to Data Privacy Act _protections. —`--7 "--'Andrade-v. Ellefson "to" Supreme Court ----------- Issue: - '- Issue: Can a local government be liable in tort for issuing or renewing a license? The Court of Appeals overturned a trial court decision that granted a pre-trial dismissal to Anoka County from a suit that alleged that the county improperly renewed a day care license.: Previous decisions seem to hold that a licensing authority acts to protect the public in general and no specific duty is owed to individuals. Because of the lack of time and personnel, the League could only do briefs in 1 and 3 above. To try to shape this vital area of development of the law, the League, in cooperation with the Minnesota Association of City Attorneys proposes expansion of the CLEAR staffing capabilities so the League could participate in 10 to 25 cases per year. The program would require the addition of a full or part-time attorney to the League staff. In addition to preparing briefs this person would track cases through the lower -courts and arrange for selection of important cases for League participation. The city attorney's association proposed a governing panel of 10 acting pursuant to criteria established by the Teague Board. The suggested panel would consist of two League Board members, the four officers of the City Attorneys Association, the League General Counsel and three additional city attorneys selected by the seven designated panel members. With the assistance of staff, the panel would: 1. Systematically review Minnesota cases which will or may be appealed and which will likely shape the law affecting all ora substantial number of Minnesota cities. 2. Select from the cases reviewed, those which are deemed most worthy of MAP intervention and encourage and assist appeals in those cases. 3. The briefs would be prepared by CLEAR staff or in some cases by member city attorneys or their staff with assistance from CLEAR staff. -OVER- Support of these activities would require $30,000 to $50,000 annually, depending on the number of cases taken and the responsibility assumed by MAP upon the appeal. Would your city agree to an additional payment of 10% of your regular.League dues, 5% if the city attorney is already a member of CLEAR, with the proceeds dedicated to this new city legal defense activity?* Yes, our city would participate No, our city would not participate Date: City of person communicating the council decision * before the council deliberates on and answers this question, you may want to ask your city attorney his or her opinion. A copy of the League dues schedule is attached. We need a.response to this inquiry by February 28, 1986 so that budgeting plans can be completed.

Executive Director, League of Minnesota Cities Dated: July _1,•1985 - OVER - OF -S IQW- RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA 2401 HIGHWAY 10 MOUNDS VIEW, MINN. 55112 7843055 December 5, 1985 Mrs. Susan Edel, President League of Minnesota Cities 183 University Avenue East St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear Mrs. Edel: The City of Mounds View recently received the results of"our appeal of the decision of a Ramsey County District Court in the case of the City of Mounds View versus Gregory A. Johnson, dba Highway 10 Radiator. As you may recall, the Board,of the League of Minnesota Cities directed your -legal counsel to prepare an Amicus Curiae Brief on this case due to your recognition of the fact that should the initial decision stand, the integrity of comprehensive land use plans and the ability of cities to reasonably determine their land use and zoning, would be jeopardized. We happily learned that the Court of Appeals has agreed with the position of the City of Mounds View and the League of Minnesota Cities and reversed the District Court's decision. This decision again places zoning and conditional use issues back into the hands of the local policy making bodies by reversing the District Court's order forcing the City of Mounds View to rezone and issue a Conditional -Use Permit on the aforementioned property. On behalf of the City of Mounds View and the Mounds View City Council, I wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to the League of Minnesota Cities for your assistance in successfully appealing this case. It is comforting to know that at a time when more than moral support is needed, your organization can be depended upon to support an individual member when it will also benefit the interests of all member cities. Sincerely, ,CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW Jerry Linke Mayor JL/mjs CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 30, 1986 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fra City Ad stratoi� SUBJECT: Barton Aschman Contract for Phase II Services Parks consultant Barton Aschman has almost completed work on Phase'I of the Park and Recreation study. Phases included in this task were: 1. Review of community characteristics and background information. 2. Inventory of existing park and recreation facilities. 3. Comprehensive needs analysis. 4. Review of policy and criteria issues. 5. Schematic master parks plans. 6. Community trails plan. This work was reviewed by the City Council at the joint Council/Parks Commission workshop on Wednesday, January 22nd. The Parks Commission is now ready to move into Phase II of their study, which is development of a specific program to be submitted for the bond refer- endum, and the public information and promotional efforts to"go along with that campaign. Attached is the proposal from Barton Aschman to do the Phase II work. In particular, you will• notice under Task 3 that they have proposed to complete alternative site analysis on six sites for community playfields. In addition to the Wachtler and School Forest properties, which essentially have already been studied, they propose to add four more sites which have been raised for consideration by the Park Commission or the City Council. PROPOSED FEE As indicated in the contract, the proposed fee from Barton Aschman is broken down by the five tasks, with a maximum figure not to exceed $22,200. In submitting the proposals for tasks #4 and #5, the Barton Aschman represen- tatives emphasize that the true cost of these sections of the study would really - 2 - depend on staff and commission directives, and that the consultant was not' necessarily proposing that they would spend $2500 on each task. The continuing park study will be paid for from the Special Park Fund, which currently has a balance of approximately $225,000. RECOMMENDATION While the entire Parks Commission has not seen the precise terms of the Barton Aschman proposal, they did vote on the 22nd to recommend to the Council that we proceed with Phase II of the project. Parks Chair,Jim Stein has reviewed the -proposed contract, and it meets with his approval. Therefore, I would recommend that Council approve the contract. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the recommendation, it should pass a motion authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter a contract with Barton Aschman Associates, for Phase II of the Park and Recreation Facility Planning Study.

Definition of Trail Improvements An infield inventory and investigation of future trail locations will be conducted to understand specific design and engineering constraints. General trail alignment will be determined with respect to existing roadways or alignment through park areas or private parcels. Typical design cross sections will be developed and illustrated for the respective trail segments. Right-of-way acquisition will be determined if required. Cost estimates will be projected based upon facility type, anticipated grading, property easement or acquisition and detail engineering. Ancillary facilities such as rest areas, interpretative signing and viewing areas will be noted. A memorandum will summarize the facility improvements and related costs. Compensation: $4,500 :y Task 2. Existing Park Facility Improvements Potential improvement to existing park facilities will be derived from discussions with city staff, the commission, and documentation from the planning process. Improvements to each facility will be described and conceptual design provided. Conceptual plan graphics will be produced for those facilities with projected improvements. Cost estimates will be completed for each facility. A summary memorandum will be furnished which describes improvements, portrays improve- ments with sketches and provides preliminary cost estimates. Compensation: $8,500 Task 3. Athletic Field Complex Analysis Six alternative site locations have been identified for the potential athletic field complex. These locations include: 1. Wachtler property near Valley Park and Wachtler Road 2. School Forest property (eastern one-half of property adjacent Mendota Heights Road at Huber Drive) 3. Henry Sibley High School - joint use of existing and expanded facilities 4. Riley property - site located south of Mendota Heights Road at Huber Drive 5. McCloud/Wilder property - northwest quadrant of Marie Avenue and Victoria 6. PERKEGWIN property - abutting Mendakota Golf Club near fire station The purpose of this task is to analyze these sites and assist city staff and the Park Commission in selecting the appropriate site.

The consultant will, at the Park Commission or city staff's. request, attend these meetings either as technical, liaison or to make presentations. Compensation: Time and expenses with an upset maximum of $2,500 with consultant efforts as directed by staff or Park Commission CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 30, 1986 TO: Mayor and City Counciil�� FROM: Kevin D. Frazeal��GLty Administrator SUBJECT: 1986 Work Priorities INTRODUCTION Early each year, the department heads and I prepare a broad outline of major work projects to be completed during the year. We have recently completed that exercise for 1986. It also seems an appropriate time to review progress on the priority issues Council identified last spring during the leadership workshop with Lyle Sumek. The purpose of this agenda item is to seek Council direction on this year's priorities. COUNCIL PRIORITIES Attached is a status review of the 30 priority issues Council identified last �_.. spring. I have reproduced a portion of Lyle's "Summary Report," and noted project status in the right-hand column. As you can see, we made tremendous progress in reaching our goals during 1985. Many of the projects are spilling over in 1986, and should be completed this year. Because of the volume of work I see before us' this year, I have noted a few items as being recommended for postponement to 1987 and thereafter. STAFF IDENTIFIED WORK PROJECTS . Also attached is a matrix of 1986 work projects identified by staff including a very rough timeline for completion. Many of these, of'course, are the Council identified priorities. However, there are many other time consuming projects which must be accomplished, ranging from the routine to the special. These include: 1. Coming up on a new in-house computer system. 2. Planning for implementation of comparable worth. 3. Conducting up to three elections (general, primary, and special parks referendum). 4. Numerous engineering projects as identified. Of course, the year also holds promise for several "walk-in" issues that could demand substantial attention and energy. - 2 - SETTING PRIORITIES The staff proposed work program for the year is extremely ambitious, but we feel, not unattainable. However, as a part of setting these goals, I seek Council concurrence on the following things that we not try to do this year: 1. Develop a policy and program on infrastructure replacement (Council priority #6). 2. Complete conversion to a wholesale water system, although we should study the issue and set some future direction (Council priority 4110). 3. Study staffing needs (except in connection with the'1987 budget). (Council priority 4111). 4. Revise the zoning code,'unless sufficient time and/or money are avail- able late in the year (Council priority 4112). 5. Pursue City role in housing development, senior or otherwise (Council priorities 4118 and 4124). 6. Develop a Financial/Revenue policy (Council priority 4130). This is not to say that the above are not important, but simply that they will have to take a back seat to other priorities this year. IMMEDIATE COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT Two issues on our list, the writing of.a City vision and philosophy and wholesale water, require direct Council involvement to proceed.' The vision writing project will really require more work of Council than staff. You should give some thought on how you would like to accomplish this task. Those' who have gone through it'will tell you it's not easy. You may want.to seriously consider bringing in an outside facilitator, i.e., Lyle Sumek. Although the 1986 budget does not have funds specifically appropriated, some would be available from Administration contingency. If you like, I could pursue this further. The wholesale water issue is ready for Council review. Our consultant study was completed last spring, but never reviewed,by Council because of other pressing issues. At a minimum, we should hold a workshop with SEH and decide whether we have any interest in planning to move in the wholesale direction. The St. Paul Water Utility is eager for us to decide as well. ACTION REQUIRED 1. To review staff proposed priorities for 1986, and either concur or direct changes. 2. To consider how to proceed with vision writing. 3. To decide on some general=times for workshops on v-ision writing and whole. sale water. Specific dates can be worked out later, but I'm looking for general direction on time committment.

I have reviewed our records and determined that 3 courtesy warnings were issued at approximately 11:00 to vehicles, that were parked blocking the driveway to the rental property at the rear of the church and 2 traffic tickets were issued to vehicles that were parked in a posted "No Parking" zone. It is my opinion that all 5 were justified. St Peters parish rents a house located down the hill and to the rear of their property. The renter has a difficult job getting in and out in the winter due to the grade and the snow and ice. On Christmas day the problem was compounded by vehicles that were parked in such a way as to block his driveway. This is not a new problem, in fact the Fire Marshal has recently issued an order to St Peters that requires more and better signs in that area. The problem is not as much the inconvenience of the renter (who happens to be a Mendota Heights Police Officer) but the inability of emergency vehicles to gain access to the. home. As St Peters informs their parishoners,'and new signs are put in place, the problem should take care of itself. It is not likely that there is a shortage of normal parking other than Christmas and Easter, and we are sure that the parishoners will respect the homeowners right to access and egress in the future. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO / January 30, 1986 T0: Mayor, City Council and CitYgni Jt—or FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Street Repair - Diego Lane At the last Council meeting Councilman Hartmann mentioned that the condition of the driving surface of Diego Lane was bad. Before the street was paved in 1976, utility service leads were run into the vacant lots and every place that that happened the road settled. An attempt was made at the time to get the contractor who did the work to correct the problem. To no avail. There is ample money in the City's 1986 street maintenance budget for the City's street crew to correct the problem this summer and we will. ACTION REQUIRED: None. This is only to let Council know how and when the problem will be handled.
