Public Works Director Danielson"efforts to develop.e

landlocked, access to the lot from T.H. 13 would.
require'a very steep driveway. He stated that acce=
through the Kingsley Estates would be very difficult
because of a drainageway and that Mr. Ophoven has nc,
been able to negotiate access over the contiguous
Lilleberg and Hunter properties.
Dr. Ophoven, present'for the discussion, stated that
he believes all access possibilities have been
exhausted. Public Works Director'Danielson express:
his concern over emergency vehicle access to the
property if the 40% driveway from T.H. 13 is allowec;

January 21, 1986
Mayor Lockwood suggested that the matter be left open
to see what kind of new ideas time may bring. No
action was taken bn the matter.
COMMISSION The Council acknowledged a memo regarding Commission
APPOINTMENTS term expirations along with letters in application fo:
Commission appointment from Charles Gilbertson, Ken
Schweiger, Sandra Krebsbach and Burton Anderson.
Mayor Lockwood noted that the Park Commission members
whose terms are expiring have indicated a desire for
reappointment and felt that they should be
reappointed.
Councilmember Cummins stated that Mr. Gilbertson has
expressed his desire to be appointed to the Commissio.
and is very interested in matters before the
Commission. He pointed out that although the Council
is concerned about what is happening in the south are•
of the City none of the Park Commission members live
in the southern area and felt that one member should
be replaced to provide geographic diversity on the
Commission. He suggested that if Council does not
wish to change the Commission membership at this time
Mr. Gilbertson should be requested to continue his
interest and his appointment or the appointment of
someone else from the south area of the City should be
made next year.,
After discussion, Mayor Lockwood moved the
reappointment of Robert Doffing, Marsha Knittig and
Robert Leffert to three year terms on the Park
Commission.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays:
Mr. Burton Anderson, present for the discussion,
reviewed his background and discussed his interest in
Planning Commission appointment.
Mayor Lockwood stated that.Commission Chairperson
Kruse has submitted his resignation and informed
C Council that Commission member Stefani has indicated
that he would be perfectly agreeable to being replace(
but that he would willingly serve another term if
Council chose to reappoint him.
Mayor Lockwood reviewed the qualifications of the
candidates, including Ultan
Duggan, whose letter of application had been
submitted at previous meetings.
It was noted that Commission member Burke's second
Page No. 2443
January 21, 1986
full term is also expiring. Councilmembers Witt ani
Blesener felt that although 'Mr. Burke is a
conscientious member of the Commission, two terms
is a reasonable length of time to serve on a
commission. Both felt that Mr. Duggan would be a
good replacement for Mr. Burke.
Mayor Lockwood stated that there are several good
candidates who are not so close to an issue as Mr.
Duggan or who would suffer undue pressure from
their neighborhoods as he might. Councilmember
Cummins felt that having someone directly affected b-,
an issue would bring a sense of immediacy to
Commission deliberations. He did not believe Mr.
Duggan ,would be subject to great pressures from his
neighbors and ,that given his constant interest, his
willingness to be appointed -and his abilities he woui
be a good appointee.
Administrator Frazell pointed out that if there were
no reappointments, the Commission would consist of
three members with no experience and one with only oi-
year of experience. He stated that the fob of a
Planning Commissioner is not an easy one and memt a
must absorb a great deal of information. He sug5
that given the significant issues which will come
before the Commission in 1986 it may not be the best
year to make such a drastic change in membership.
Councilmember Cummins moved the reappointment of Bill
Burke and the
appointment of Sandra Krebsbach and
Ultan Duggan
to the Planning Commission.
Councilmember
Blesener seconded the motion.

Minutes of the Special Meeting Held
Wednesday, January 22, 1986
The meeting was called to order at 8:15 P.M., by Mayor Lockwood. The following
members were present: Mayor Lockwood, Councilmembers Blesener, Cummins, and Witt.
rCouncilmember Hartmann was absent. The following Parks Commissioners were present:
Chair Jim Stein, Bob Doffing, Marsha Knittig, Bob Leffert, Carol Damberg and Mary
Jeanne Schneeman. Alan Singer was absent. Planning Commissioners present: Bill
Frank, Joe Stefani, Bill Burke, Jerry Morson. Cam Kruse and Dorothy McMonigal were
absent. City staff present: Larry Shaughnessy, Jim Danielson, Kevin Frazell.
Barry Warner and Mary Ordahl were present from Barton Aschman, Inc.
PARK STUDY Consultant Barry Warner began by describing their firm's work
PRESENTATION on the inventory of existing.park facilities, and a survey of
needs through the year 2000. He indicated that Mendota Heights
is somewhat unique, and that it's household size of 2.9 people
was almost twice the metropolitan average, and that there are
a high number of teens and people in their 50's and 60's
residing in the community. He also indicated that the City
is•unique in the amount of surrounding regional park property.
He added that in general, the City had plenty of tennis courts,
although they were not lighted. Deficiencies were found more
in such things as hard surface pick-up play areas, soccer
fields, softball diamonds, etc.
"r Consultant Mary Ordahl added that her research had shown that
many Mendota Heights residents participate in softball act-
ivities in the City of Eagan. However, with its growing pop-
ulation, Eagan has taken a position that persons not residing,
or working in the community will not be able to participate in
softball leagues there in the future. However, West St. Paul
is still receptive to having Mendota Heights residents partic-
ipate in its recreation programs, and there are many possib-
'ilities for joint efforts withh rhar city.
Warner briefly touched on the four sites that had been considered
for a community playfield, Henry Sibley High School, the
Wachtler property, the School Forest Site, and the Riley
property. Warner said that the School Forest Site had
several constraints, including an undulated topography, wetlands,
l and an NSP power line easement. He added that the Riley
property had some potential, and that putting lighted playfields
next to an interstate highway might be a good idea. He sugg-
ested that there should be a closer look at the Riley property,
and also discussions with District 197 regarding shared use
possibilities for Henry Siblev. He said that two playfields
should meet all the community's demands at the saturation
population level.
Ordahl suggested that with the increase in facilities in the
community, Mendota Heights might not be able to get along with
only a part-time recreation director. As an alternative to a
full-time person, she suggested that the City might want to
Page No. 2448 l
January 221 ]986 -
pursue
986 -
pursue cooperating with other agencies, such as School
District 11197 and the City of West St. Paul.
Warner then described the work they had done on a proposed
trail system for pedestrians, bikes, and cross country skiers.
He indicated that the trail system would have destinations
both within the City limits, and to outside points such as the
Minneapolis trail system, the Minnesota River trail to Jordan,
and Fort Snelling State Park. He added that the proposed plan
envisions not only acquiring property, but using Mn/DOT right-
of-way; linking open space areas, signage of existing streets,
and use of electric power line easements. He said that long-
range upgrading plans for the Mendota Bridge call for making
it bikeway compatible.
During the discussion between the Council and the Parks Comm-
ission and -.the Consultant, there was a concensus that the
McCloud property at Victoria and Marie, and the Perkegwin
property along Dodd Road should also be considered as possibil-
ities for a community playfield.
FINANCIAL IMPLI- City Treasurer Larry Shaughnessy discussed a handout showing
CATIONS the property tax implications of various size bond issues.
His analysis indicated that an issue of $1.2 million would
require $160,000 in yearly debt service, and would result in'
property tax increases ranging from $16.91 on a house value
$87,500 to $46.25 on a house valued at $190,600. He added
that the City would probably also need to levy an additional
one-half mill for support of increased maintenance level, and
the cost to the same homeowners would be $6.66 to $18.20.
Shaughnessy said that many people would be -experiencing sub-,
stantial increases in the property tax" bills whichlthey would
receive this spring, because of the Assessor's increased
valuations, and the School District 11197 levy. He also added
that there were not really any realistic alternatives to a
bond issue for financing a sizeable expansion of the park
system.
FUTURE DIRECTION ON [darner indicated that in most cities, it is important to have
PARKS PLAN & BOND a blue-ribbon committee of interested citizens to promote the
ISSUE bond issue. He added that by mid-March, the Commission and
Council would be in a position where they would need to
r` decide whether a referendum would be held in latter May.
l
Councilmember Cummins raised the possibility of a summer bond
issue, and the consultants responded that while most cities
do not do them in the summer, there was no reason that it
couldn't be considered for Mendota Heights.
It was agreed that the Parks Commission needed to continue
its work to come up with a specific recommended package of
park improvements, and should go forward to do so. It was
also agreed that Barton Aschman's assistance would be needed
to continue with the process, and that staff should meet
with the consultants to work out the details of a proposed
' Page No. 2449
January. 2:2, '1986
contractual arrangement, which would be presented to the
City Council in the near future.
John Frank asked what the $1.2 million of bonding authority
would buy. Warner responded that the development of a
community athletic field would be approximately $4- $500,000,
exclusive of the cost of property acquisition. He estimated
completion of the trail•system at $275,000 to $350,000, plus
land acquisition cost.
Mayor Lockwood commented that he didn't think proceeding to
develop the final park bond plans w6uld be a waste of money,
since the work needed to be done. There was a concensus of the
Council that the planning work should proceed.
WACHTLER PROPERTY
City Administrator Frazell gave a brief report on the
ACQUISITION
discussions between the City and the Wachtler family. He
indicated that the City had offered $475,000 for the property,
with the sellers to pay off all outstanding assessments. This
had been unacceptable to the Wachtlers, and they had countered
with an offer of $550,000. Frazell said that the discussion.
had been left hanging, pending a decision as to how badly the
City wants the Wachtler property.
There was an agreement that as part of the planning effort,
the consultant and Commission should look at the fall back
positions,of acquiring the McCloud or Perkegwin properties as
alternatives to Wachtler.
ADJOURN
Councilmember Blesener moved that the meeting be adjourned.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.

CASE #86-01, ST. Chairperson Kruse called the meeting to order for the purpose
PAUL'S UNITED METH- of a public hearing on an application from St. Paul's United
ODIST CHURCH, CUP, Methodist Church, for a conditional use permit to allow
HEARING construction of a church on the east side of Dodd Road, between
TH 110 and Marie Avenue.
Mr. Dick Haluptzok, architect, presented the site plan for
the church and noted that their existing building had been.sold
to the Hmong United Methodist Church which is located on
George Street in St. Paul. He added,that the original idea
envisioned multiple single family dwellings on the east end
of the site. However, after surveying the neighborhood, they
noted opposition to this idea and the multiple family.proposal
has now been dropped. He noted that"the total site area contain
6.75 acres and that 2.4 acres will be for the church and the
remaining 4.3 acres are to be subdivided later,into six single
family lots. He also noted.that the land is zoned R-1, there-
fore a conditional use permit is needed to allow the church.
Several variances will also be needed,,one for setback from
the south property line, another for height, due to the spire,
and a third variance for the sign area. The subdivision plan
is to come later this year.
Chairperson Kruse asked for questions from the commission.
Commissioner Burke asked where the expansion is planned for.
Mr. Haluptzok said plans are for expansion at both ends, for
different functions. Commissioner Burke asked if the build-
ing could be turned to eliminate the need for a variance.
Mr. Haluptzok said yes, but in doing so it would destroy
the image that they are trying to make. Commissioner Burke
asked if an east/west street had been planned here for a long
time. Planner Dahlgren said yes, not only°to serve this land,
but to serve the Warrior Pond site owned by the school. district.
Commissioner Burke stated that he feels this is a dangerous
location to intersect with Dodd Road.
January 28, 1986 Planning Commission - 2 -
Commissioner Henning asked how essential is the easterly dev-
elopment to the plan. Mr. Haluptzok said the church would
at sometime like to develop the east property, since they
only need 2.4 acres for the church itself.
Commissioner Morson said a variance to the 50 foot setback on
J--tlie'north-"is not `needed until-theTrfight-of°=way is acqu'ired�
by the City. Planner Dahlgren said that is correct, but it
should be addressed now. The conditional use permit should
be conditioned upon the church dedicating the needed right-
of-way now. The church should also agree in the future
platting layout now.
Commissioner Morson asked what are the setbacks on the north
currently. Mr. Haluptzok said 31 feet. After the future
addition, they will be 20 feet. Commissioner Morson asked
if'more Mn/DOT right-of-way is needed. Public Works
Director Danielson said staff will check with Mn/DOT.
Chairperson Kruse noted the way the curves are on Dodd, perhaps
variances will not be needed because the sign should have
good visibility setbacks. Mr. Haluptzok felt that drivers
should be paying more attention to driving around a curve
so the sign should be closer and easier to read.
Planner Dahlgren said a 10 foot setback is allowed so no sign
setback variance is needed.
Mr. Jules Herman, who lives across the street from the proposed
development, asked if the street will go through to Henry
Sibley High School. Chairperson Kruse replied no.
Collette Siebert, 689 Freeway Road, asked what is intended
for the remainder of the land and the school site.
Mr. Haluptzok said six single family lots are planned for
the easterly portion of the land.
Mr. Ken Knowlton, Building Committee Chairman for the church
said most of the congregation lives in the 55118 zip code
area, that is why they are locating. the church in this area.
Mr. Forrest Bollinger, who lives next door to Mr. Herman, said
he had to be 80 feet back from the property line when he
built his home. He felt the church is too close and the
State still wants more right-of-way from this property.
They just ran out of money when they were buying right-of-way
years ago. He felt that a 50 foot road is too narrow. He
stated that he knows the person to the north of the site would
not want development, but he is away.for the winter so he is
unable to attend the meeting.
Mr. John Siebert said that buildings both north and south of th
church are set back 80 feet from Dodd Road and this buildi-
should be set back that far also.
Mr. Gary Coley, North Freeway Road, said there have been
several serious accidents on Dodd in this area. He expressed
concern about the access.point on Dodd.Road. - There has been
one fatality.
Planning. Commission, January 28, 1986 - 3 -
Mr. Jules Herman said the fatality happened right on the end
of his driveway, and that he has trouble entering Dodd Road
from his driveway.
Mr. Arnie Siebell, 871 Highway 110, -said the access road for
property' should be on the south side.---He-called-Mn/DOT --
and they said they did not want any more right-of-way from
him, and that it was a dead issue.
Ms. Loretta Quehl asked what will happen with the road on the
east end after it reaches Warrior Pond? Can't the city make
these decisions at this time?
Mr. Gary Coley said the road alignment decisions and planning
...decisions for the Warrior Pond site,road access should be
done now.
Chairperson Kruse said the City had made a decision to have a
road that goes through to the Warrior Pond site.
Commissioner Henning said the Warrior Pond site is a large.
piece of property and the internal roads will be laid out at
the time it develops.
Chairperson Kruse felt a traffic study should be done with
Mn/DOT.
Mr. Glen Anderson, representing John Houchens,the property
owner to the North, asked if the City will need the 10 foot
easement in conjunction with this development. He said
Mr. Houchens house is 15 feet from the property line.
Commissioner Frank said that if this is correct on -15 feet, the
setback from the new street will be a problem for the house:
Mr. Haluptzok presented drawings showing that Mr. Houchens
house is set back 40 feet.
Mr. John Siebert noted that he conducted a poll and found
that the people on the south are against the road being along
the south of the property.
Ms. Collette Siebert said the high school drivers.on Frontage
Road and everywhere are a problem. The young drivers are
reckless. This new road should not go through to the High
School.
Commissioner Burke stated he is in favor of the church
proposal but does not like the location of the road, the
setback of the church from Dodd Road and the orientation of the
church that causes the need for variances.
Commissioner Henning said he too likes the church proposal but
has the same concerns as Commissioner Burke, and also that then
is only a 50 foot street easement which he felt is too small.
He felt a 60 foot easement should be acquired now.

addressed.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. Fra e �')_
City Admini rator
SUBJECT: Policy on Copying Costs
January 22, 1986
From time to time, and particularly during the discussions on the
Southeast Area plan amendments, staff has received -requests for copies
of rather substantial documents. In the spirit of keeping everyone informed,
we have provided most of these free gratis. However, as an ongoing policy,
I feel that we should set up a schedule for charging. The Government Data
Practices Act does make it clear that city governments can charge reimburse-
ment for the reasonable costs associated with requests to provide information.
Our current copy policy is 25G per page, which frankly;is rather excessive.
This may not be an unreasonable amount for one or two copies, but can become
burdensome when you are talking about a substantial document. For these larger
jobs, I would recommend that we charge on a time and materials basis. It costs
the City approximately 4G per copy for paper, supplies and wear and tear on the
copy machine. In addition,'I have calculated that clerical staff time, compounded
at 1.5 for fringe benefits, averages around $12.50 per hour. Therefore, I would
recommend that we charge 4G per copy plus time at $12.50 per hour for compiling
and duplicating the requested copies.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with this recommendation, it should pass a -motion approving
a charge for document copying of 4G per page, plus $12.50 per hour of clerical time.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. Frazel CP�-
City AdministrAtor
January 22, 1986
SUBJECT: Salary for Police Sergeant Donn Anderson
At the meeting of January 21st, Council acted to appoint Donn Anderson -as
probationary police sergeant, effective February 1st. However,.staff neglected
to put a recommended salary in the memo, and the purpose of this•memo is'to
correct that oversight.
The position of police sergeant is.a classification XX in*the City's Pay
Matrix. Steps for a group XX position are:
1. First six months $29,486
2.• Second six months $30,961
3. One year $32,509
4: Two years,$34,134
'5. Three years and thereafter, $35,841
We are starting to experience a problem of salary compression between the
sergeant and the top patrol. A top patrol officer with the maximum longevity of
97 will be earning $33,537 under the new contract. Obviously, we feel that Donn,
as sergeant, should be at least somewhat above a top patrol rate. Therefore, we
are recommending that he go immediately to Step D, $34,134. He would then remain
at this salary step until the successful completion of the'one year probationary
period, at which he woixld go to $35,841.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with the above recommendation, it'should pass a motion
authorizing a 1986 salary for Sergeant Donn Anderson of $34,134, effective Feb-
ruary 1, 1986.

CITY OF MENDOTX,,HEIGHTS
MEMO
January 29, 1986
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. F ��24�it�Administrator
SUBJECT: Proceedings of City Hall Committee
At its January 27 meeting, the city hall committee received a report
from Braun Engineering on the soil borings of the Civic Center site. The
,report showed that most of the property has a substantial uncontrolled fill
problem (up to 17 feet of depth in some places), and additional five feet
of peat. Constructing the city hall on the portion of the site we had orig-
inally anticipated would require excavation of the 17 to 22 feet, at a possible
cost of up to $50,000.
However, soil borings further to the south showed only 7 feet of fill; which
the architects feel would not be much of a problem at all, since the building
would be 10 feet into the ground. On this basis, and on the basis that we already
own the land, the city hall committee voted to proceed with the Civic Center site.
The architects will be drawing up schematic concepts for consideration, and as
a part of the final determination, it will be necessary to take further soil
borings to decide the exact location.
The purpose of this memo is to advise Council that the committee is proceeding
with the Civic Center site, and to seek your concurrence with that direction.
Committee Chair Stan Gustafson will be present to answer any questions.
ACTION REQUIRED
This is an informational item, and for the purpose of seeking Council con-
currence with the direction of the committee. ,No formal action is required.
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO _
January 29, 1986
TO: Mayor, City Council and City 'k rator
FROM: Paul M. Kaiser
Fire Marshal
SUBJECT: Pabst Meat Supply Building
Mr. Tim Pabst, of the Pabst Meat Supply building located at 1455 Mendota
Heights Road „ is to appear before the City Council,on February 4, 1986, to
ask for a variance from fire codes which is his right, under State Statutes
299.011.
In question is the basement of this building. The 1982 Minnesota Fire Code,
adopted by the Mendota Heights City Council (Ordinance No. 219), requires existing
basements exceeding 1500 square feet without windows to be protected by an automatic
sprinkler system or to provide the window openings needed for firefighting and
ventilation. The basement of the Pabst Meat Supply building is approximately
1625 square feet, without the required window openings or witliout the protection
of an automatic sprinkler system. The order to comply with the fire code was
written on May 20, 1985.
Two points should be called to your attention:
1. Building codes in effect when this building was constructed (circa
1971) contain the same requirements as current codes on this
problem.
2. There is only one recognized entrance to this basement for firefighting
purposes and that is through the middle of the building. Entry through
a 10 foot shaft or by elevator are not considered as safe for fire-
fighting entry points.
Therefore, recognizing firefighter safety and compliance with fire codes as
primary considerations of the City Council, I recommend denial of the variance
request of Mr. Pabst.
ACTION REQUIRED
.If Council concurs with staff recommendation, they should move to deny
the variance request of Mr. Tim Pabst.

City of Mendota Heights
750 South Plaza Drive
Mendota Heights, MN 55120
Re: Application for Variance.- Mendota Heights Fire Code
Dear Mr. Frazell:
On behalf of Pabst Meat Corporation, I am writing to
you regarding your request that our company apply for a
variance to the Mendota Heights Fire Code provision that
the basement of our building, located at 1455 Mendota Heights
Road, either be furnished with an automatic sprinkler system
or modified structurally -to provide at least 20 square feet
of opening in each 50 lineal feet of exterior wall on one
side of the building.
Before making application for a variance, we feel
compelled to object to the variance application procedure
because our building does, in fact, comply with the Fire
Code. The floor area of our basement does not exceed 1500
square feet when the elevator lobby is excluded from the
dimensions. The Code requirement only applies to room with
floor area in excess of 1500 square feet. Moreover, even
assuming a floor area greater than 1500 square feet, our
building does have an opening of at least 20 square feet
on the room's lone exterior wall, as indicated in the copy
of the architect's drawings attached. The basement floor
plan clearly shows the exterior wall at a length of 50 feet.
It also depicts the emergency exit shaft located -on the
exterior wall. Access to the shaft is by a conventional
steel door. There is a two foot steel ladder up the'side
of the shaft for easy ingress/egress and the opening at
ground level exceeds 20 square feet. This exit, along with
another stairwell and elevator, makes a total of three exits
for a small room. We have consistently demonstrated our
compliance to the Fire Marshal to no avail.
If the City Council still finds a violation of the Code,
we apply for a variance for.the following reasons. First,
the building was constructed in 1970-71. At that time, both
a building permit and an occupancy permit were granted without
mention of any Code violations. It is quite puzzling to
Kevin D. Frazell
City Administrator
January 30, 1986
Page 2
us that the City can claim fourteen years later that the
building must comply with a Code requirement at the occupant's
expense, all despite misfeasance on the part of the City.
Second, we are in substantial compliance with the Code
in all other respects. We have been more than cooperative
with the Fire Marshal during his numerous visits/telephone
calls to our plant. Minor suggestions to improve our
facility's compliance were well received.
Third, our building poses no significant danger to the
public or to our employees. With respect to the basement
equipment room, Gartner Refrigeration, the firm that performs
our refrigeration maintenance, avers that our plant complies
fully with the American National Standard for the Equipment
Design and Installation of Ammonia Mechanical Refrigeration
Systems as published by the International Institute of Ammonia
Refrigeration. Care was taken at the time the facility was
constructed to separate gas water heaters from the refrigeration
system. Hence, the water heaters and furnaces are located
on the second floor.
Finally, we would incur a significant financial hardship
unless the variance is granted. Either an automatic sprinkler
system or structure modification would cost an estimated
$20,000 - $30,000, according to the contractor of the building.
`In conclusion, the City's new Fire Marshal has initiated
a somewhat inept attempt to force a long-time City taxpayer
to modify its building at substantial expense without good
reason. We have demonstrated both that our building does
comply with Code requirements and that the threshold require-
ments for a variance are met even if Code compliance is unclear
to the Council.
Sincerely,
PABST MEAT CORPORATION
Timothy J. Pabst,
President

FROM: Klayton Eckles
Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: Lake LeMay Flooding
Job No. 8613
Improvement No. 86, Project No. 4
This report discusses the background and causes of Lake LeMay flooding,
possible actions to remedy the problem, likely funding sources for the
project and staff's recommendation. It also includes a discussion regarding
the installation of sewer and water north of Transport Drive and west of
Trunk Highway 55, and how this is related to a Lake LeMay solution.
BACKGROUND AND CAUSES
Lake LeMay is located south of State Highway 110 and east of Highway
55. The eastern portion of the lake is bounded by Resurrection Cemetery and
the west side of the lake is ,bounded by a residential area and Trunk Highway
55. Close by on the Resurrection Cemetery land lies Lake'Augusta. Both
lakes are land locked with no outlet. Lake LeMay is'approximately 22.5
acres in size with about 195 acres draining into it. Records of Lake LeMay's
water level are available for the years 1934 through present. Generally the
water level has varied between the elevations of 826 Mean'Sea Level (MSL)
and.832 (MSL). But in about 1980 the lake level began to raise above all
previous levels, and has continued at about 1.5 feet per year ever since.
The current level is about 839+ (MSL). The Bredvolds, whose home is closest
to the lake, have a driveway about one foot above this level. If the
present trend continues their driveway will be under water in the Spring of
1986. 'Substantial tree drownings have occurred along the lake shore due to
this high water and there is the potential for more tree damage if the water
continues to rise.,
There are several possibilities that could have been the cause of this
high water condition, including urban development, siltation and high preci-
pitation., Urban development has been slow and steady around the lake in the
past,20 years. There has been no major development that would attribute for
the rapid increase in the water level. Siltation can reduce the holding
capacity of a lake and seal the bottom, preventing percolation. It is
difficult to determine what the exact effects of siltation are without
survey of the lake bottom subsoils. However, a general observation can be
made in this case; there has been very little large scale erosion in the
area due to cultivation or development in recent years. Therefore siltation
is probably not the major cause. In this case high precipitation appears to
be the main cause of the high water. According to Dan Leuther of the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the high water level is attribu-
table to the fact that precipitation in -the last three years is the highest
on record. The average precipitation is about 27.inches per year. Below is
a table of the local precipitation data from the National. -Weather Bureau for
the last eight years.

RESPONSE
High water will likely be an ongoing problem for Lake LeMay because it
'is land locked. .There are several possible remedies to consider, including
pumping, sandbagging, dredging and installing storm sewer. The first possi-
bility is that of doing nothing unless the problem gets critical and then
take emergency measures such as pumping or sand bagging. Pumping the excess
water out is limited because Lake Augusta. is the only nearby area that could
accept the water, but Lake Augusta is also suffering from high water. To
use sand bags or -dikes would only be feasible for a short time until some
other measure could be taken. Dredging -is another possible course of ac-
tion. There are a number of possible methods in which dredging could be
implemented but all are very expensive and would have extensive adverse
affects on the lake shore area. Also dredging would not.be a permanent
solution, and the effectiveness can only be gues.sed at without a full scale
hydrological study. The action that staff considerr=s most feasible is,„to
install a storm sewer system. A storm sewer is a permanent solution that
will handle the changing conditions of Lake LeMay. The following is a -
detailed discussion of the design, construction, and funding considerations
for a storm sewer project to provide lake level control for Lake LeMay.
To install.a storm sewer outlet for Lake LeMay requires an existing
storm sewer. with ezcess.capacity to hookup to. Unfortunately the closest
storm sewer meeting the capacity and elevation requirements is an existing
line running down Transport Drive 2000 feet away. This line has a 27 inch
stub directed up the Johnson Brothers Warehouse property line. The outlet
elevation of the.pipe exiting the lake can be varied in order to get the
correct slope. However, the inlet must be set so that the Lake LeMay water
level is low enough to prevent flood damage but high enough to meet the DNR
requirements for ordinary high water level. The DNR recently studied Lake
LeMay to determine the correct natural ordinary,�high'water.level. They
found the natural'oidinary high water to be 835.0 MSL. Ift tliey"outlet,is set
at about elevation 835 (MSL) both the DNR's requirements and the storage
requirements will be met, and in addition the north and south portions of
the lake will remain connected as requested by several of the residents on
the lake. The storm sewer inlet will be located on the west side of the
lake on the far south end, 'The line will then pass underneath the State
Highway 55 right-of-way and continue southwest until it reaches the
Milwaukee Railroad line. After passing along the railroad line it will pass
beneath it to the Johnson Brothers Warehouse property line and hookup to the
storm sewer stub at Transport Drive. (See Map)
As part of the Mendota Interchange Project, Mn/DOT plans on putting a
storm pond on the west side of Highway 55 with an outlet to LeMay for
overflow. Since the City's proposed storm line passes directly beneath
Mn/DOT's proposed storm pond an inlet will be added to Mn/DOT's specifica-
tions to pick up their pond water in lieu of it emptying into Lake LeMay.
The construction of a storm sewer for Lake LeMay will also benefit Lake
Augusta because Resurrection Cemetery can then install an overflow from Lake
Augusta into Lake LeMay. Such an overflow will have to be designed to
slowly meter the water out of Lake Augusta because the proposed 18 inch
storm sewer draining Lake LeMay will have limited capacity.
The proposed route takes.the course requiring__the_least amount of __ _
excavation and easements. However, the area is relatively high ground and
the trenches for the pipe will be up to 20 feet deeper than a standard storm
line. Easments will be required for the land area between Highway 55 and
Transport Drive and permits will be required for the work in the Milwaukee
Railroad and Trunk Highway 55 right-of-ways. The cost of the entire pro-
posed storm sewer project including construction, easements, overhead, fees
and contingencies will be approximately $184,200.
SEWER AND WATER UTILITIES
Staff is also considering the installation of sewer and water utilities
from Transport Drive to Trunk Highway 55 at the same time as storm sewer
construction. There are three factors that suggest this the best course of
action.
1. Installing sanitary sewer and water simultaneously with the storm
sewer will provide substantial savings in reduced easement,.res-
toration, and trenching costs.
2. Extending sanitary sewer and water to the north of the railroad
line as considered under project 85-2A will avoid complications
with future development on the property abutting the Johnson
warehouse on Transport Drive.
3. Extending sanitary sewer and water to the east will provide ser -
.vice to the Brooks property and avoid conflicts when the property
develops. The owner has indicated that development will probably
take place this summer.
The total cost of sanitary sewer installed from Transport Drive to
Trunk Highway 55 will be $121,700 including overhead, fees and contingen-
cies. The total cost of watermain from Transport Drive to Trunk Highway 55,
north of Brooks property will be $109,900. These figures assume combined
construction with storm sewer. The table below summarizes the utility
construction costs, assuming combined construction and assuming separate
construction.
UTILITY COST OF COMBINED COST OF SEPARATE
CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION
Storm Sewer $184,200 $187,400
Sanitary Sewer 121,700 136,050
Watermain 109,900 115,600
TOTAL $415,800 $439,050
NET SAVINGS: $23,250
FUNDING
The storm water portion of the project will be under the future juris-
diction of the Gun Club Lake Water Management Organization which is pre-
sently being formed. The City of Eagan has the majority of the land within
that district so they have taken the lead in it's formation. Tom Colbert of
Eagan was contacted regarding the watershed district funding options. kc-
cording to him Eagan has had some difficulties in assessing for storm water
projects, so they intend to use taxing districts -within the WMO for at-
taining storm sewer monies. There have been difficulties in getting the Gun
Club Lake District organized and it is uncertain at this time just when the
Gun Club Lake District will be formed, therefore other more standard funding
options will have to be considered at this time.
Three available funding sources for storm sewer monies include assess-
ments, Mn/DOT and Tax Increment Financing. Assessments will be based on the
total area contributing run off to Lake LeMay and the storm system. Total
assessable area excluding Mn/DOT right-of-way is approximately 129 acres.
32 acres of this area is Resurrection Cemetery, which must be'figured into
the area breakdown but cannot legally be assessed.. It is.'recommended the.
cemetery portion be covered by Tax Increment Financing to make the project
feasible. Note that Resurrection Cemetery does own some private land in the
drainage area so they will be contributing for that portion.' _ 4;,
The Mn/DOT right-of-way contributing run off to Lake LeMay is approxi-
mately 66 acres in size. Mn/DOT will benefit from this project because the
runoff from the proposed Trunk Highway 55 right-of-way will be routed
through this storm sewer system. Mn/DOT generally bases construction cost
splits according to contributing flow rather then contributing area. The
Mn/DOT hydraulics unit did a contributing flow analysis and determined that
from the Mn/DOT pond to Transport Drive, Mn/DOT contributes about 50 -percent
of the total flow and Lake LeMay contributes 50 percent. Therefore Mn/DOT
has indicated they will participate in 50 percent of the cost of the storm
sewer from their pond to Transport Drive. This amounts to $56,525 or 31
pecent of the total construction cost, slightly higher than if calculated on
an area basis.
In addition to this a portion of Mn/DOT right-of-way is flowing into
Lake LeMay rather than the Mn/DOT holding pond. The total area a`mounts.;to
about 12 acres. This will be assessed normally on an area basis. Therefore
the total remaining area to be assessed according to contributing area is
approximately 141 acres spliting the remaining assessments of $127,675 by
area amounts to $905.50 per acre or 2.08 cents per square foot.
It is recommended that the sanitary sewer and watermain be funded by
,two sources: assessments and Tax Increment Financing. TIF could cover the
installation costs from Transport Drive to the north side of the railroad
tracks, and assessments cover the remaining costs. The table below sum-
marizes the proposed funding for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and watermain,
assuming combined construction of the two projects.
