CRIME FAIR Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that the Police Department will be conducting a community crime fair at the Mendota School on April 5th. FURLONG UPDATE The Council acknowledged an update prepared by the City Administrator regarding the Furlong neighborhood, a report from Engineer Klayton Eckles regarding utility extension information, and a proposal from the Dakota County Public Health Department for environmental health assessment of the Furlong Addition. Administrator Lawell orally reviewed the details contained in the report with respect to Dakota County testing, F.A.A. Part 150, public utility extension, neighborhood contracting for septic system pumping, sources of free drinking water, lake water quality testing options, and the alleged contamination of Lake LeMay due to discharge from the Mendota Heights Motel. Administrator Lawell informed the Council that the State Environmental Field Services has been contacted regarding the alleged pumping into the lake and has done a field investigation. The agency issued an order to the motel to correct the situation. Under the order, issued on February 22nd, the motel must come up with a plan to cure the problem in 30 days and to implement the plan in the following 30 days, although the 60 day deadline may not be reliable because of the frost. The agency also issued an order to the motel to pump its septic tank immediately. The motel has two septic systems, and the agency has requested that the motel only use the rooms at the front of the building to minimize the flow that comes to the back of the building. The agency will investigate tomorrow to see whether this has been done. He informed the Council that if the agency runs into resistance from the owner, it will call a hearing and could then revoke the license for the motel. No response has been received from the PCA. Mayor Mertensotto reviewed the issues. He stated that he is appalled at the $64 per hour O( Page No. 2754 March 20, 1990 rate charged by Dakota County for testing of the septic systems and wells. He suggested contacting Twin City Testing to see what they charge and the University to see if they provide water testing kits. Mr. Ron Spong, from the Dakota County Public Department, stated that the Health Department is totally self sufficient and receives no - �-�� County funding. Everything done by the department must be supported by fees, and the fee for services set by the County Board is $64 per hour. He explained what the testing would involve. Responding to a question from Councilmember Blesener, Mr. Spong stated that there has been a consistency in the test results from wells which have been tested so far but that more testing is necessary. Also, stated that lack of knowledge on how the systems were constructed and maintained is a problem, and he does not know how consistent the results of random sampling would be. If the agency had information on the construction of the sewer systems and wells and knew the direction of the shallow ground water flow, the department might have a better idea of what a random sample would mean. Councilmember Anderson stated that the real question is what are the standards - what degree of concern should Council have at this point. If there are no State or scientific standards, the City would have trouble determining anything regardless of the expense and results of testing. Mr. Spong responded that his department looks for reduced form nitrates, for which there are standards established. He stated that five wells have been tested to date and at least three area residents have called to have samples done. Councilmember Anderson asked whether the concern has been limited to water quality of the tested wells for drinking purposes only or for bathing as well. Mr. Spong responded that additional testing would have to be done on the most contaminated wells to determine water quality for bathing. Page No. 2755 March 20, 1990 Councilmember Blesener asked what Council needs to do to get all of the answers it should have. Mr. Spong responded that one sample from any given house doesn't mean very much and that many of the contaminates vary through type., He stated that samples from two homes can possibly give a good test if the wells are deep and the samples are true. For a shallow well there are variables that occur from day to day. Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Public Works Director Danielson stated that the cost for extending utilities is estimated at $25,000 per lot and that the lowest cost estimate is $21,000 per lot if the proposed street improvements'are cut back. Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that Council has indicated the City would possibly give a $10,000 credit against the individual assessments. Mrs. Carol Doffing stated that she would think that before the residents can determine whether they want sewer and water they must know how much the utilities will increase their property values. She felt that the neighborhood would prefer to be bought out but if that cannot happen, they do want to look at utilities. She stated that the residents need to know what it will cost each of them and what the value increase to their properties will be. Mayor Mertensotto responded that if nothing is done, the homes will have no marketability and that if improvements are installed, they will become marketable. Councilmember Cummins asked the audience what kind of septic pumping would be necessary for most of the homes to allow people to stay in the neighborhood. Mr. Hiner responded that in some cases the systems should be pumped every two weeks and in other cases, every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the weather. He indicated that pumping costs $85 each time. Page No. 2756 March 20, 1990 Councilmember Blesener stated that one of the other considerations is that some of the systems are overflowing because they have been let go, and this is something that a contract with a pumper would relieve - if pumping is done regularly the systems would not overflow. Councilmember Cummins asked whether there are any sources of bulk water other than what was included in the Administrator's report. Mr. Spong responded that in flood situations, the National Guard has brought water trucks into the affected areas, and sometimes water has been provided by fire pumpers. He informed Council that one possibility might be "small community systems." Two small communities in the county have solved sewer and water problems with the assistance of the HRA by installing small wells to serve 4 to 5 homes and have taken the same approach with septic systems. This option would depend on how much land is available as sites for the systems. Mr. Spong stated that he would like to meet with City staff to get some sort of interim scale testing program where his department could get a clear fix on the extent of the problem. City staff could then come back with a program and the cost. Councilmember Blesener stated that she would also like to pursue getting a pumping company involved, at least so that the sewage systems that are overflowing are controlled. Mr. Spong informed Council on a method his department can use to determine which systems are overflowing. Councilmember Cummins asked Mr. Spong to work with staff to survey the neighborhood and preliminarily determine whether the community well/septic system approach might be an effective solution. He suggested that staff be directed to work with Mr. Spong and report back in two weeks with a proposal for testing the water systems in the neighborhood and surveying the neighborhood to exlore a community facility for water and sewage disposal on a 3 to 5 to 7 year solution. Councilmembers Blesener and Cummins felt that Council needs to acknowledge that city sewer Page No. 2757 March 20, 1990 and water is not the answer to the problems and that Council needs to find an interim solution and work towards the elimination of the neighborhood. Councilmember Anderson stated that installing sewer and water would cost about $830,000, and that if the City contributes at the proposed level, the assessible cost would be $415,000. The City owns two homes, from which it can recapture some of the $415,000, which is much less than the cost the City would bear to buy out the neighborhood. He felt that the $415,000 City investment is considerably less than the $4.5 million potential buyout cost and the City cannot guarantee a buyout. He disagreed with doing comprehensive testing on the basis that the residents will never be comfortable with drinking their water until something is done with the sewers. He felt that Council must come up with a solution - everyone knows the problems. He asked the residents what price they put on their health and on the saleability of their homes. Mr. Robert Tousignant asked why Acacia Park Cemetery can't share in the cost of public improvements. Councilmember Blesener asked Treasurer Shaughnessy to prepare an update on the Tax Increment Financing availability. Furlong resident David Hiner wanted to see a neighborhood for -sale sign installed. A lady in the audience asked whether there is some way to find out the total cost to the residents for sewer and water. Councilmember Blesener suggested that the City retain a realtor to market the neighborhood. Another lady in the audience asked that the City pursue a contract for pumping for the neighborhood so that the residents would have some assurance that their costs for pumping would not continue to go up. Staff was directed to pursue the matter. Mr. Robert Tousignant suggested that the City allow a contractor to dump sewage into the City sewer main to reduce costs. Page No. 2758 March 20, 1990 It was the consensus of Council that further discussion be tabled to April 17th and that staff be directed to follow-up on items discussed this evening and invite someone from the MAC to attend the April 17th meeting to discuss the Part 150 program. City staff was directed to take bids for closing the wells on the two City owned properties in the Furlong Addition. RECESS Mayor Mertensotto called a recess at 9:35 P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 9:45 P.M. TRAFFIC CONTROL REQUEST Council acknowledged a request from Andrea Drake, 665 Wesley Lane, for a reduction of the speed limit on Wesley Lane from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. Council also acknowledged an associated response from Police Chief Delmont recommending that no action be taken on the request. TENNIS COURT USE Council acknowledged a request from St. Thomas Academy that it be allowed to reserve the Rogers Lake Park and Friendly Hills Park tennis courts from 3:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m., on weekdays from April 1st through June 1st. It was noted that the request was being made because the St. Thomas courts are in an unsafe condition. Council also acknowledged a memo from Administrative Assistant Batchelder recommending that the request be approved on the condition that the Academy pay for the cost of the design and posting of signs informing the public of the reservation times. Mayor Mertensotto supported the request, but felt that no charge should be imposed. He stated that St. Thomas only plans to use the facilities until theirs can be repaired, and felt that the City should install the signs as an accommodation, since St. Thomas has made its courts available for community use when the courts were in good condition. Administrative Assistant Batchelder informed Council that Barton/Aschmann included the St. Thomas and Visitation tennis courts in its survey of facilities. It was the consensus of the Council that the request be approved. Staff was directed to notify the Academy that there will be no charge and that the City has appreciated the Page No. 2759 March 20, 1990 use of the St. Thomas courts in the past and their future use when they are repaired. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Council acknowledged a memo from Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander regarding cost estimates for neighborhood park improvements. Councilmember Blesener asked whether staff was convinced that change orders can be issued if the costs are too high. She felt that provisions should be made in the specifications for add -alternates and deduct - alternates. She noted that the estimates are over budget and that construction depends on how the bids come in. Councilmember Blesener moved to approve the plans and specifications for park improvements, with the addition of provisions for deduct alternates. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 AIR NOISE UPDATE Council acknowledged and discussed an aircraft noise corridor update from Administrator Lawell. Administrator Lawell reviewed the report, informing Council on the March 7th MASAC discussions and action on the corridor issue. Council also acknowledged a survey prepared by the Administrative Assistant detailing the approaches other communities neighboring the airport take to address airport issues. Councilmember Blesener observed that Eagan is the only community surveyed which has an airport relations commission. Assistant Batchelder responded that the body is a formal advisory commission to the Council. He questioned that the approach is better than the one employed by Richfield, which uses a strategy group, consisting of consultants and city staff, which meets regularly. Councilmember Blesener stated that she is concerned the Mendota Heights might be in a much weaker position if relies solely on the citizens group. She felt that the City needs a more structured approach, whether it is similar to Richfield's or a commission which meets regularly and reports to the Council regularly. She felt that something must be Page No. 2760 March 20, 1990 put in place so that the City can get more aggressive. She also asked the status of the funding for the Braslau study. Administrator Lawell responded that about $25,000 has been spent and that the City has contracted with Braslau for the second phase, to take the City's proposal through special committee. About 50% of the contract amount for phase 2 has been expended. Staff was directed to get more information on the Richfield group, including its duties, responsibilities, charter, budget and goals. RECYCLING PROGRAM Council acknowledged the annual recycling report for 1989 and commended the residents for outstanding program participation. SIBLEY PARK AGREEMENT The Council acknowledged a report from Administrator Lawell and draft copy of a tentative agreement with the school district with respect to the proposed Sibley Park. Councilmember Blesener gave Council a background on the negotiations with the school district. She felt that the proposed agreement is fair and equitable to both parties, and stated that the Park and Recreation Commission unanimously recommends its approval. She informed Council that a design committee will be meeting to work out final design for the facility and stated that the matter is before the Council this evening for discussion and reaction. She indicated that a final draft of the agreement will be brought before Council for approval on April 3rd. She informed the Council that the proposed agreement has been very well received by the school board and that they are expected to adopt it in final form at their first meeting in April. Mayor Mertensotto stated that he would like the City Attorney to prepare a letter indicating that he has reviewed the document and approves of it. Councilmember Cummins expressed his concerns over Sections 6, "Operation of the Facility," and Section 9, "Remedies. He was concerned that the City's investment is not adequately protected under the proposed agreement. With respect to Section 9, Councilmember Cummins N Page No. 2761 March 20, 1990 felt that if o e of the parties fails to appropriate fun s, it would be unlikely that the court would order the City or district to appropriate fun s which it feels are unavailable. was also concerned that if there is to be a 40 year agreement, there should be some reasonable management parameters. He felt the agreement inadequately addresses how day to day management will be conducted by the City and the school district, and that the parties might leave themselves open to minor disagreements which may lead to�major disagreement. 0- Councilmember Blesener explained that each party is always liable for yearly maintenance costs but neither may be obligated to maintenance costs beyond that level. She pointed out also that the agreement contains a specific performance clause. With regard to dispute resolution/arbitration, Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Section 3 of the document provides that title and money matters are not subject to arbitration. Councilmember Blesener responded that the committee which prepared the draft included the language in the final sentence of Section 3 so that if either party wanted to do some extraordinary maintenance or improvements, the other would not be liable for the costs. Administrator Lawell explained that the school district was concerned that if the City builds the improvement on district property, and at some time during the term of the agreement decides not to continue maintenance, the district would have to take on 100% of the maintenance. Councilmember Anderson stated that he felt one source of difficulty after the initial outlay of the City to build the facilities is the sharing in the cost of the maintenance. He interpreted Section 6.3 to mean that there is no way to anticipate how the parties will get along on the maintenance sharing maintenance - whether it is equal sharing or if the district will pay more because it did not pay the development costs. He felt the agreement leaves proportionate sharing open. Page No. 2762 March 20, 1990 Administrator Lawell pointed out that Section 6.2 provides for equal sharing of the costs. He stated that/ -the disproportionate amount would be capi items but that maintenance would be 50150KY As an example, if the district were to decide to install a batting cage, the district would pay for it. Councilmember Blesener stated that the dollar amount in Section 6.3 will be filled in. She stated that the district has met a number of City needs which it originally had problems with. She felt that the City needs to be sensitive to the district's concerns of some of the other issues. With respect to Councilmember Cummins' concerns over protecting the City's interest in the short term, she cannot see that there is any incentive for the school district to walk away from the agreement. Mayor Mertensotto suggested that a "good faith dealing" clause be incorporated into the agreement. Councilmember Cummins stated that he would like a clearance letter from the City's legal counsel. City Attorney Hart was directed to prepare a letter with respect to the proposed agreement. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Blesener informed Council that due to other commitments she must resign from her capacity as the City representative to the School District Community Education Council, and asked that a candidate be appointed. She stated that the School District would prefer that a Council member be the City's representative, or otherwise, anyone else who has a good familiarity with the community. Treasurer Shaughnessy informed the Council of potential cuts in aids being considered by the legislature. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilmember Hartmann moved that the meeting be adjourned. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.

Also present were Public Works Director Jim Danielson, Planning Consultant Howard Dahlgren and Administrative Assistant Kevin'Batchelder. APPROVAL OF Commissioner Duggan moved approval of MINUTES the January 23, 1990 minutes. Commissioner Dreelan seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 CASE NO. 89-04 Mr. Richard Bjorklund, Sr., representing his BJORKLUND, son David Bjorklund, was present to discuss VARIANCE his son's request for a rear yard setback variance. He stated that the lot is a corner lot where the homeowner desires to front the house on the long side of the property. Commissioner Tilsen noted that the plot plan indicated was -labeled preliminary. He suggested that if, after completing final plans, there is any reduction in floor plan along the north/south axis, the variance granted should be smaller on the north lot line. Commissioner Krebsbach questioned why signatures of consent were not obtained from the surrounding neighbors. Mr. Bjorklund replied that his son left on vacation just after his meeting with Planner Dahlgren and that he was unable to obtain the signatures. Vice Chair Dwyer stated that he had talked to the owners at 562 Stone Road and that they commented that they are anxious to see the construction start and that they have no objections with Mr. Bjorklund's request. Commissioner Krebsbach moved to recommend that City Council approve a twenty foot (201) rear yard setback variance conditioned upon Mr. David Bjorklund providing affirmative signatures of adjacent neighbors for City Council review. Commissioner Koll seconded the motion.

TO ZONING a public hearing to discuss a request from ORDINANCE & CUP Mr. Jerry Haarman of the Minnesota's Indoor HEARING Soccer Arena Training Complex for an amendment to the zoning ordinance and CUP. Mr. Haarman, President of the Minnesota Indoor Soccer, stated that they have a lot of confidence in this project. He stated that they would be a good corporate citizen in Mendota Heights. He commented that they have conservatively estimated that there are 32,000 soccer players in the Twin Cities area. He stated that their hours of service will be from 6:00 P.M. to Midnight. Mr. Haarman further stated that at this point in time there are seven investors. He stated that they have been studying this project for over twenty-four months and during that time they have toured many markets in the United States. 'He stated that they do have a secondary use for the building but that it is only a fallback. Mr. Haarman then introduced Mr. Kirk Hagman of Hagman Construction and Joseph Boslovich, Architect. Commissioner Krebsbach stated that there have been other indoor soccer sites that for one reason or another have been moved or closed. She expressed her concern as to why other indoor arenas have failed. Mr. Haarman stated that they have all closed mainly due to losing their leases. He stated that none of them have failed due to financial reasons. In response to a question from a question from Commissioner Krebsbach, Mr. Hagman stated that in both the Bloomington and Highway 55 soccer facilities, both of these facilities ran inside existing gymnasiums. He stated that that is not an ideal condition for indoor soccer. Mr. Hagman stated that they looked at both the western and southern suburbs. He stated that part of the problem in the western suburbs is that the land costs are so prohibitive that it does not make economic sense. He stated that one of the things they are trying to do here is to make some economic sense. In response to a question February 28, 1990 Page 3 from Commissioner Krebsbach, Mr. Hagman stated that they definitely anticipate players from the western suburbs to commute to Mendota Heights. Mr. Haarman stated that this site is located almost 20 minutes .from almost all of the large soccer populations. Mr. Hagman explained that they wanted some place where there was less than a half hour drive time. He stated that is part of the reason why they located the site in Mendota Heights. Vice Chair Dwyer then asked Mr. Haarman to give a presentation on the construction aspects of the property and building. Mr. Hagman explained that they basically had to put two hockey rinks inside the building. He stated that 'a hockey rink is eighty-five feet wide (851) and two hundred feet long (2001). He stated that they have two wings of the building that are approximately two hundred twenty feet long (2201) and one hundred ten feet wide (1101). He further explained the size of the construction. He stated that they are using two different types of decorative concrete block. He explained that they are using a rock faced block and a scored block which are two different types of texture. He explained the different textures. He stated that the texture and color "plays on you" to help bring the size of the building down. He stated that they also have the building accented with pre -finished metal which will bring some horizontal and vertical lines to break the space down. He stated that the center area (referring to a map) is the support area and that they are proposing to have a standing seam roof in forest green. He stated that they have gray, white and green proposed which are classic colors that go together. Mr. Hagman showed the layout of the soccer facility to the Commission. He pointed out the entrance and exit passages into the parking lot. He explained that they provided in excess of 130 spaces for the cars. He explained that they do not anticipate a lot of bus traffic mainly because the teams consist of less than 15 players per team. He commented that if the team would come all at once it would probably be in a van. He stated that if they do have bus traffic there is an entrance (referring to a map) and that there is some parking stalls for the buses. He stated that they do have some flexibility to handle the bus traffic. He explained that the plan calls for the traffic to come off of Northland Drive so they don't have any February 28, 1990 Page 4 entrances onto Mendota Heights Road. He commented that they felt there is less traffic on Northland Drive than on Mendota Heights Road and that Northland Drive would be a better place to handle the inflow onto the site. Mr. Hagman explained that they are lining the boulevard with trees along Northland Drive and along Mendota Heights Road. He stated that they are attempting to leave the existing trees. He showed the MnDOT holding pond on the map. He stated that they would leave the trees in with vegetation and that they would leave as many trees as they can back along the lot line. Mr. Hagman stated that they did a preliminary layout plan. He stated that they do not expect this to be a big spectator sport. He stated that there is enough seating for the normal crowd, i.e., parents and small crowds expected for a tournament. He showed the two fields and the main entry way, the snack bar and a pro shop, washing rooms in the back and offices on the map. He stated that this layout would change some more once the plan is refined. Mr. Joseph Boslovich expressed his personal concerns to the Commission regarding a long driving distance. He stated that he likes Mendota Heights accommodations for travel time. He further commented that soccer is a fast growing sport. Commissioner Tilsen asked how many people operate the facility and asked about the supervision of the facility. Mr. Haarman responded that there will be seven full time employees and that if you take into consideration the referees and score keepers the number will go up to 14. He stated that there will be either an assistant manager or himself present there at all times to make sure that it is properly supervised at all times. He stated that they are concerned with supervision as they are dealing with a lot of youth. Commissioner Duggan stated that he had walked the site previously today and he asked about the drawing concerning the trees. He asked if MIST is working on an option to purchase MnDOT's property. Mr. Haarman answered no. He commented that the MnDOT holding pond will stay there. Commissioner Duggan stated staff's concerns with the grading. He stated that he has some concern that the building would be a tight squeeze. Mr. Hagman stated that February 28, 1990 Page 5 they had met today with Mr. Danielson and that they had talked about the possibility of raising the building. He stated that the reason why they put the building at the elevation at that level is because they do have a situation where they are putting the building down below the street some because they are playing off between what happens at this curb elevation and the back lot line (referring to a map). He stated that this could be handled with retaining walls. He stated that under the soccer scenario the problem is not very bad at all. He stated that under the second use scenario they did a lot of studies to find out what kind of flexibility they have. He stated that they could put a road in (referring to a map) if they build a retaining wall in. He stated that in Planner Dahlgren's notes he suggested that they talk to MnDOT in thinking that maybe they could do something in terracing an weaving the wall. He stated that they are willing to work with Mr. Danielson and that they want to make sure that he is satisfied. Commissioner Duggan commented that a lot of the soccer population is children and that they will generally be playing from August to May, which are more winter months than summer months, he stated that lighting was not indicated on any plans. Mr. Hagman stated that they have not created a luminar plan. He stated that they will have to address and that he understands Commissioner Duggan's concerns. Commissioner Duggan stated that he was pleased to see that the colors of the building are more muted. Commissioner Duggan stated that he is concerned in with the amount of traffic. He offered a suggestion of spreading the entrance and exit another twenty feet further apart to offset the possibility of accidents. Mr. Hagman stated that they would be willing to work that over Mr. Danielson. In response to a question from Commissioner Duggan, Mr. Hagman stated that there are public bathrooms which are separated from the locker rooms. Mr. Haarman stated that the people who use these type of facilities seldom use shower facilities and a locker room facility. Mr. Boslovich explained the restrooms and noted that the restrooms will equipped for the handicapped. Mr. Boslovich also explained that there will be' restroom facilities in the locker rooms. Commissioner Duggan questioned the type of seating arrangement available to the spectators. Mr. Hagman stated that the February 28, 1990 Page 6 seating arrangement would only be on one side. Mr. Haarman stated in touring the Kansas City facility they noticed that most of the people preferred to stand. He stated that the amount of seating shown on the plans is ninety and that appears to be excessive. He commented that they will probably propose to install one half of that amount. He stated that there will be room to install more seating if need be. Mr. Hagman stated that the seating,would probably be collapsible type bleachers. Commissioner Duggan commented that the building would not be used much for soccer during the summertime. Mr. Haarman agreed and said that they are looking at alternative sports to lease out during that time, i.e., karate, driving range for golf. Commissioner Duggan asked how the building would be cooled. Mr. Hagman stated that air exchangers is one way to cool the building down and that they are also looking into roof top units. In response to a question from Commissioner Duggan, Mr. Haarman stated that they could sustain the facility financially strictly on using the facility for soccer during the winter months. There was a brief discussion between Commissioner Krebsbach and Public Works Director Danielson regarding the connection of roads with respect to Highway 55 and Highway 110 and the frontage road in front of the City Hall. Planner Dahlgren explained the conditional use procedure to the Commission. Commissioner Krebsbach questioned if they could preclude activities in anticipation of secondary uses that may not be appropriate. Planner Dahlgren explained that the courts have allowed communities to add reasonable conditions to any conditional use. In response to a question from Commissioner Krebsbach, Mr. Haarman responded that there will be a food service area. He stated that they have not gotten very far in their restaurant planning. In response to a question from Commissioner Duggan, Planner Dahlgren stated that to his knowledge the City has had no proposals for development of the site across from MIST's site. He stated that it is true that restaurants could be built on one or more of those sites and that the land is properly zoned for such use. Vice Chair Dwyer stated that what the Commission is considering tonight is a February 28, 1990 Page 7 request to recommend an amendment to the zoning ordinance. He stated that this is presently zoned as an Industrial District and that the proposal is that we add participatory athletics to the industrial zones. He asked staff that if the Commission recommends approval will that open a "pandora's box" to some other industrial zone in the City. Planner Dahlgren responded that it probably would not. Vice Chair Dwyer noted the concerns stated in the staff memos about indoor/outdoor dumpsters. Mr. Haarman stated that they have not specifically discussed this matter with Mr. Danielson. He stated that they have the same concerns as does the City staff. He stated that they would like the dumpsters to be inside. He referred to a map as to where the dumpsters could be placed indoors. Vice Chair Dwyer asked about the construction time table. Mr. Hagman answered that they would like to be open this fall. He stated that they would like to get started on construction as soon as possible. Mr. Haarman stated that the pressure on them to gain approval tonight conditioned upon items needed to be done with staff, is that it helps in putting their mortgage in place. Commissioner Dreelan asked about the roof top heating and ventilating. Mr. Hagman stated that they will probably have gas fired units and that they will probably not have roof top units. He stated that in the event they go with a roof top unit that has air conditioning they can set them on the back side of the building. He stated that they will be working with Mr. Danielson regarding this issue. In response to a question from Commissioner Duggan, Mr. Hagman stated that the whole support area would be air conditioned. Commissioner Koll her concern with the driveway access. She stated that there are sharp turns off of Highway 55 and Northland Drive. She stated that the entrance is too close to the corner of the turn. Commissioner Duggan concurred with Commissioner Koll. Commissioner Duggan asked if there is large piles of dirt and if they would be willing to seed or cover the piles to minimize the dust. Mr. Hagman answered that they would use the best method possible to minimize the dust flow. February 28, 1990 Page 8 Commissioner Koll asked Mr. Danielson about the grade off of Northland Drive. Mr. Danielson responded that he has talked to them before and that he would like to see them raise the building. He stated that they have it too low on the site. The Engineer for the project stated that the reason why the building is at the elevation it is at is because they were trying to optimize the location of Northland Drive and the existing MnDOT right-of-way on the back of the site. He stated that it was done this way because if the building were to ever go to an office/warehouse scenario it would minimize the height of potential retaining walls in the back. He stated that the building could certainly be raised but that potentially the retaining wall would have to be higher. He further stated the difficult slope ratios they have had to deal with. He stated that they discussed with Mr. Danielson if there is a need for retaining walls on some of these slopes they are not opposed to them. Commissioner Koll stated her concerns with the concrete facing. She stated that in that particular area everything else is the dark brick. She stated that has been a standard in the industrial development. She expressed to Mr. Haarman and Mr. Hagman that she encourages them and that the City is fortunate to have this proposal. Commissioner Koll stated that a concrete building would probably stick out like a knife. Mr. Haarman stated that the concrete would be painted gray and white. Mr. Hagman stated that the nearest building next to them is the Unysis building. He stated that they would have to go across Highway 55 to run into a brick building. Mr. Haarman stated that this project has to make economic sense. He stated that there is no way economically that they could build this structure and use brick. He stated that they looked at that originally and that they just cannot do it. Mr. Boslovich stated that, in his opinion, there is nothing inherently wrong with using concrete as the material. He stated that using the materials described earlier that the building promises to be very handsome. He sited an example of a building that was built using concrete block. Planner Dahlgren stated that staff does not have problem with the use as such. He stated that the Commission should consider making a positive action if they see no problems. He stated that they do see some problems with the site plan as presented. February 28, 1990 Page 9 The first being that the building developed this low is a mistake. A building that you have to drive down to is always a marketing problem. He stated that it is much better if the building is above the street slightly or at near the same grade. He stated that an ideal solution is if they could get an agreement from MnDOT to raise that portion of the long spiked piece of land that MnDOT owns. He stated that the secret here is to get a site that has greater depth. He stated that they are very concerned about the elevation and the steepness of those driveways. He stated that some kid is going to get killed because those driveways are very steep and they do not have any space at the top that is flat so you can stop before you hit the road. He stated that this is a very severe safety problem that Mr. Danielson has spoken to them about. Planner Dahlgren further stated that another concern is the painted concrete block. He stated that the City of Mendota Heights has always pursued quality in all of its development. He stated that most of the industry that is being developed today is being done with brick and is being done very well. He stated that he is very concerned about the ultimate impact on the aesthetic environment of the City. He suggested that we look at that very carefully to make sure that we get the best product. Public Works Director Danielson stated that his main concern is with the grading plan as presented. Mr. Hagman stated that what he is understanding through Planner Dahlgren is that there is a real safety problem and when he talked to Mr. Danielson he doesn't get the same type of problem. He stated that there seems to be some discrepancy between the two of them. Planner Dahlgren responded that there is no discrepancy. He stated that they are both concerned about the grades and the driveways. Vice Chair Dwyer asked Mr. Hagman if he has a dispute that there is a grading problem here and a possible safety problem. Mr. Hagman responded that he does not dispute that there is a grading problem. He stated that he has talked to Mr. Danielson about working that out. He stated that if Mr. Danielson feels that we need raise the building then they are more than happy to do SO. Vice Chair Dwyer asked if there was anyone present in the audience who would like to February 28, 1990 Page 10 speak on this matter. Mr. Bill Healey, 2473 Park Lane, questioned what MIST would be doing with the other property that they own. Mr. Hagman stated that they have no use for it at this point. In response to a question from Commissioner Tilsen, Mr. Hagman stated that the Dakota Business Center is made out of scored block. He stated that if the Commission is going to make a requirement for the building to be built with brick it will essential kill the project. Commissioner Tilsen commented that what he thinks that Planner Dahlgren's concerns is the surface appearance of concrete block after several years. Commissioner Tilsen stated that he shares the same concerns about painted concrete. Commissioner Tilsen stated that he is concerned about the exits in the arena. Mr. Boslovich explained the exits in the arena. He stated that there are nine exits in the building. He stated that each large arena has two exits. He further commented that he would like to encourage that the elevation be as near to street level as possible. Commissioner Krebsbach moved to continue the public hearing to March 27, 1990 meeting. Commissioner Dreelan seconded the motion. Mr. Haarman stated that they have put forth a very good design and that they are not building a cheap building. AYES: 1, Krebsbach NAYS: 5 Motion Fails. Commissioner Koll moved to close the public hearing on the zoning ordinance amendment. Commission Duggan seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 1, Krebsbach Commissioner Koll moved to recommend to'the City Council that they amend the zoning ordinance to allow participatory athletics as a conditional use within the Industrial Zone. Commissioner Duggan seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 1, Krebsbach Commissioner Duggan moved to continue the public hearing to March 27, 1990 at 8:00 o'clock P.M. for further input from staff and the applicants with regards to grading, drainage, exterior wall finishes and uses. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 February 28, 1990 Page 11 Commissioner Koll seconded the motion. Commissioner Tilsen offered a friendly amendment to Commissioner Duggan's motion stating that the applicants propose their own list of conditions to help guide the Commission in understanding what they are proposing. Commissioner Duggan accepted the friendly amendment. Vice Chair Dwyer called a recess at 9:25 o'clock P.M. CASE NO. 90-03 Vice Chair Dwyer opened the meeting at 9:35 CENTEX HOMES - o'clock P.M. for the purpose of a public REZONING, CUP hearing to discuss a request from Centex FOR PUD, WETIANDSHomes for rezoning, CUP for PUD and a PERMIT Wetlands Permit. Vice Chair Dwyer explained the hearing procedure to the audience and the role of the Planning Commission. Mr. Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, was present to discuss Centex Homes request. He stated that he is working with Centex -Homes on this project. He introduced Mr. Tom Boyce, President of Minnesota Division of Centex and Kevin Clark, Project Manager. For the benefit of the Planning Commission and the audience, Mr. Putnam gave a lengthy history and background concerning the approval procedure to date for the Kensington PUD. This included a slide show and presentation of maps and sketch plans relevant to the PUD. Mr. John Huber, Chair of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission, briefly explained the role of the Parks and Recreation Commission in planning the park within Kensington Phase II. He further described the park plan. He stated that Centex has been very good to work with. Mr. Putnam briefly described the proposed development within Kensington Phase II with regards to the condominiums, manor homes, townhomes and single family homes. Vice Chair Dwyer then opened the meeting for public comments. Dan Nichols, 633 Hampshire Drive, stated that he is stunned by the density of the development. He stated that he is against this level of density. He stated that when he was looking to move to Mendota Heights several years ago nothing was.mentioned February 28, 1990 Page 12 about the condominiums or the smaller townhomes described. Vice Chair Dwyer questioned Mr. Nichols as to who made those representations and Mr. Nichols stated that the salesperson in the Centex Home model home did. He further commented that most of the people in the room had never heard anything about condominiums and anything at that level of density. Mr. Ridley, 620 Hampshire Drive, stated there were several misrepresentations regarding condominiums and the park referendum. He also stated that he is against the density level. Ms. Hammel, 646 Pond View Terrace, she stated that she is concerned with the density level with respect to City services. She also stated that she is concerned with the amount of people it will bring into the school. Mr. Ecker, 2308 Field Stone Drive, spoke against the rezoning proposed by Centex Homes. He spoke on how the tax base for Mendota Heights will raise. He further stated his concerns with the density level. He also commented on the possible -high level of traffic this development may bring. He further stated his concerns regarding the increase of population in the schools. He commented that he wonders what type of person would be attracted to 350 condominiums, townhouses, manor houses. Vice Chair Dwyer reiterated the concerns of the residents with respect to supposed misrepresentations made, density, possible increases in the taxes, traffic problems and school district and asked if there were any comments different from those previously stated. Mr. Ecker, 2308 Fieldstone Drive, expressed his concerns about the impact on the environment. He questioned if there were going to be studies done on the environment. Public Works Director Danielson stated that the City has done an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) along with the initial application and an Indirect Source Permit (ISP) has been done. He stated that further studies will be conducted during this process. Don Pacdernik, 2472 Hampshire Court, questioned if the plans that have been referred tonight are a done deal. Planner Dahlgren stated that the basic February 28, 1990 Page 13 density pattern was established and approved by the City when they amended the Comprehensive Plan. Planner Dahlgren explained that zoning is different from the Comprehensive Plan. He explained that a Comprehensive Plan is a document which is required under Minnesota law for all communities in the Metropolitan area which is the basis for zoning. He stated that the land use plan designates the land use which includes the density. He stated that in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which was done after the Southeast Area Study, that amendment established the density pattern for this whole area. He explained what the pattern was. He stated that there was to be single family homes at 15,000 square feet per lot north of Mendota Heights Road. He stated for the area south of Mendota Heivhts Road and easterly was designated four units per acre. He stated that the area to the west of the powerlines south of Mendota Heivhts Road over to Dodd Road was designated at eight units per acre. He stated that the existing ordinance for multi -family housing in the City, at that time, was about 10 units per acre. He stated that the approximate density normal for the R-3 District, the only multi -family housing district in the City, was 10 units per acre, in the process of this study the Council decided to reduce that to eight units per acre. He stated that substantial traffic studies were done and showed that the densities at that rate (4 units per acre to the east of the right-of-way and eight units per acre to the west of the powerline right-of-way, that that would not create undo traffic problems if Mendota Heights Road and Huber Drive were constructed. He stated that plan also envisioned a substantial park plan in the area. He stated that the actual area of parks varied, as Mr. Putnam explained, based on the bond issues that were passed and not passed. Planner Dahlgren stated that with the bond issue that did not pass ultimately Mr. Putnam proposed a relatively large area of parks to be dedicated. He stated that when the plans evolved over time all were done in conformance with those densities established in the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that these plans do not follow the density pattern exactly because Mr. Putnam has added a substantial amount of single family housing south of Mendota Heights Road in an area that was designated at four units per acre. Planner Dahlgren stated that part of the development is at a much lower density than was established in the comprehensive plan and parts of it are individually a little higher, 10 to 12 units per acre. He stated that the density February 28, 1990 Page 14 required in the Comprehensive Plan deals with the over all density. He further explained that a hearing was held last year on a concept plan for the whole area and at that time this basic pattern of developing with a looped street as a public right of way was included in that plan and the basic designation of these park areas plus the trail area and these types of units were in that plan. He explained that the concept of using these different types of housing units had been approved. He further explained that the specific development plan to carry on with the additional detail as represented by the manor homes was what was being reviewed tonight. He stated that to an extent, portions of the plans are done in terms of establishing the basic density pattern, establishing the requirement to build the looped street, dedicate park areas and maintain the ponding areas and develop single family housing. He stated that if all of the development proposed meets these density standards; that basically has been decided. He stated that what is left to be decided is the nature of the units, size, materials, exact configuration of the parks and facilities in the park. He further commented that as a part of considering that detail the final zoning must be considered. He stated that the zoning will be applied when they approve the final PUD. He stated that theoretically if the development conforms to the densities established in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, then the City has very little ability to change that zoning pattern. Planner Dahlgren stated that there were substantial public hearings held during this process and that he understands some concerns with those residents who have moved in after all of the public hearings had been held. Mr. Pacdernik, 2472 Hampshire Court, stated that he is concerned with the decrease in market value to his home in the future. He further stated that Centex did a fantastic job in building his home and that they have been great to work with but he feels deceived. Greg Schroeder, 594 Watersedge Terrace, commented that had he know the apartments were to have been built he would not have bought in Copperfield. He further commented on the homes.pictured in the slides Mr. Putnam showed. He stated his concerns for the market value of his home. Harold Beale, 2463 Delaware Avenue, stated that he has attended all of the meetings in the last five years, he stated that he understands that there has been no zoning February 28, 1990 Page 15 change except for the areas that have been developed. He commented that for all of the acreage that exists is still zoned residential. Planner Dahlgren stated that was correct and explained that many cities adopt a comprehensive plan and may leave the underlying zoning as is and act on the zoning at such time as final development plans are approved. Planner Dahlgren further explained that the zoning is a final legal action that puts the comprehensive plan into effect and most communities will withhold that rezoning until the final developments are prepared and approved - usually in a case of multi -family housing in the form of a PUD. In response to a question from 2308 Field Stone Drive, Planner Dahlgren explained that in the State of Minnesota the comp. plan for a City is required by law. He stated that by law the zoning has to conform to the comprehensive plan. He explained that when a City adopts a comprehensive plan that is a stage at which the basic issue of land use and density are decided. He stated that when the zoning portion comes along the zoning districts need to be setup to conform with the density and when the final development plans are ready for review then the zoning is applied to the land in conformance with the comp plan. He stated that'once you have adopted a comp plan and densities when someone applies for rezoning or development approval in accordance with those land uses and densities the City has limited ability to turn it down. He explained that they have to have reasons such as the layout does not work out right or buildings are badly designed etc, for turning down the design. He explained that the developer has the legal right to those densities. Robert Prior, 2455 Hampshire Court, Vice Chair Dwyer stated that the City had received a letter from this individual, stated his opposition and questioned whether the comprehensive plan could be changed. He commented that the people in the audience are opposed to condominiums. Glynnis Svendsen, 2300 Field Stone Drive, discussed her calculations in reference to density. Mr. Putnam briefly explained the amount of property left to develop is not very much. He further explained the open land and who owns it and what is proposed. Ms. Svendsen commented that the density level does not seem to work. She further February 28, 1990 Page 16 stated she does not think that anyone has a problem with the townhome concept. She further stated that when you start looking at the "C" word - condominiums - nobody is happy. Mr. Putnam questioned if the manor homes that are under construction right now are offensive to anyone. It was the concensus of the audience that no they are not. Mr. Tom Boyce, President of Centex, stated that they are not talking about building a three story condominium that is up against a freeway that HUD is going to own half of. He stated that they have all seen pictures of what they are proposing and they can see first hand what they are building across the way from their developments. Mr. Boyce stated that the manor homes being built right now are condominiums. Mr. Putnam stated that the homes in Hampshire are going to appear more dense than the ones they are building because there is all park in front of it. He further stated that there seems to be a feeling that when we say condominiums or the "C" word it represents something completely different. The only difference is that the present manor homes are four and eight unit buildings with an attached garage and the ones that are being proposed are 8, 12, 16 unit buildings with a detached garage. He stated that it is almost an identical unit inside. He stated that it would look very strange to have a lot of one thing built over 80 or 100 acres. Mr. Boyce stated that the present manor homes are at 8 units an acre. Mr. Jeff Laramy, 618 Pond View Court, stated his concerns for his property value. Susan Alt, 642 Pond View Terrace, stated that she researched what was proposed for the Hampshire Estates area before she bought in Copperfield. She stated that they were also mislead. She stated that she is concerned with the density level. Mr. Putnam stated that there is a lot of property. He stated that he had just informed a potential buyer in Copperfield about the parks available to him. He stated that they have talked at the Copperfield parties for the last three years about what is going on in the neighborhood. He stated that the reason why there has not been a single plan is because the plan has been changed several times. He stated that the reason why there have been so many plans is February 28, 1990 Page 17 because it has not been finalized with very good reasons, not Centex's reasons. He stated that if the personnel in the model centers get confused on pointing out that townhouses go here and it turns out to be a condominium building the reason is that at one point in time it probably was suppose to be townhouse. He stated that if you look at the plans, we have been moving things around the site to try and accommodate ourselves and well as what the City has wanted. He stated that they have taken as a mandate that the City is looking for some active parks. A woman, resident of Copperfield, stated that Mendota Heights is different than Bloomington. She further read an excerpt from the City's Comprehensive Plan. She stated that she had some difficulty in getting information from the City. She, explained her concerns for increase in the traffic. She asked what the target market is for these homes. Mr. Kevin Clark explained the'target market for the homes, the approximate square footage of the homes, the proposed base prices of the homes and the proposed prices of homes with options. He explained the amount of manor homes that they have sold in Kensington. Mr. Clark stated that they do not sell to investors. Mr. Boyce stated that they try to discourage investors. John Siedel, 2459 Hampshire Court, stated that he is disturbed to know that it appears that the Comprehensive Plan is a tight and stringent plan that we have to live by. He stated that he is not excited about the proposed parks because of the possible problems they may bring, i.e. drinking and parties. Steve Gollinger, 686 Apache Lane, stated that he inquired with the City in 1986 about what was to be proposed for this area. He stated that he feels maybe that the City has mislead the residents. Thomas Smith, 625 Hampshire Court, questioned what benefit arises out of the proposal by Centex for the high density development. He further read an excerpt from the Minnesota Real Estate Journal which quoted Planner Dahlgren. He stated that he does*not feel that this plan benefits the City as a whole. He further read another excerpt from the Journal which quoted Dick Putnam. He stated that he is surprised by the proposed condominiums. Terry Berg, Copperfield Drive, stated that February 28, 1990 Page 18 he liked the spaciousness and fields in the City. He stated that he was also mislead with regards to high density. Commissioner Tilsen briefly explained that the "battle" is with the City Council and that the role of the Planning Commission is to work with Centex to,get a product that suits Mendota Heights as best as we can. In response to a citizen's question as to what can they do as concerned citizens, Vice Chair Dwyer stated that the elected officials of the City are sensitive to the legal rights of the developer and that they are also sensitive to their constituents. He explained that they will have to take the matter up with the City Council. In response to a question from a resident, Vice Chair Dwyer stated that the park land has not been deeded to the City. The above resident then asked if the park land had not been made available to the City would the City had approved this development if the park land were not to be deeded by the City. Planner Dahlgren surmised a guess, no, because park land is a very important ingredient here in as much as the City has gotten themselves into a position where they do not have adequate parks. He explained that the developer is required to dedicate 10 percent of land for park when they final plat. He stated that they have proposed to dedicate much more than that because of the extreme park need that the City finds itself in. Mr. Mc Inerney, 2355 Field Stone Drive, questioned what the role of the Planning Commission is. Vice Chair Dwyer explained that the Commission serves as an advisory body to the City Council. He explained that the Council can abide by their recommendations or it can listen to the applicant's request and make their own decision. Bill Healey expressed his concerns with the high levels of density and the air noise issue. A resident questioned whether Centex could better regulate the prices of their homes. Mr. Boyce responded that there is a limited market in townhomes and that they cannot regulate the prices. Commissioner Duggan assured the residents that the Commission would not spend long hours on an issue if they felt that they did not have a say so on what happens in the City. He stated that the City works long February 28, 1990 Page 19 hours on issues and tries to come up with a reasonable compromise. He stated that we are not going to satisfy everybody. He stated that the developer's have legal rights and that there are a lot of legal contracts already in place. He stated that he likes the idea of more expensive units and that he does not like what he sees being proposed. He also spoke on how the Centex salespeople may have mislead the residents. Commissioner Duggan moved to continue the public hearing to March 27, 1990 at 8:00 o'clock P.M. Commissioner Dreelan seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 SCHEDULING OF It was the concensus of the Commission that JOINT CITY they meet with the City Council on COUNCIL/PLANNING Wednesday, May 2, 1990 at 8:00 o'clock P.M.

ELECTION OF It was the concensus of the Commission to OFFICERS reappoint Mr. Jerry Morson as the Chair of the Planning Commission. It was also the consensus of the Commission to reappoint Mr. Mike Dwyer as the Vice Chair of the Commission. VERBAL REVIEW Public Works Director Danielson gave a verbal review to the Planning Commission on City Council action on Planning items.

CITY OF MPNDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 28, 1990 To: Mayor, City Council and City Admir6*or From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant Subject: CASE NO. 90-07: Heaver Design and Construction McManus Wetlands Permit DISCUSSION Mr. Keith Heaver presented a proposal for a Wetlands Permit at the March Planning Commission for the McManus property consisting of Lots 1, 2, 15, 16, Block 2, T.T. Smith's Subdivision No. 3. The request is to allow the construction of a single family home at 655 Brookside Lane. (See attached staff and planner memos.) The entire area of the Brookside Lane improvements is included in a Wetlands District and every lot will require a Wetlands Permit for development. At the time of subdivision, wetlands permits were overlooked for the entire plat. The developer will appear at a public hearing at the April Planning Commission for this blanket approval, in the meanwhile, this individual lot is being considered for a wetlands permit. The Planning Commission expressed a concern about imported fill for this lot. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission unanimously waived the requirement for a public hearing. The Planning unanimously recommended that City Council approve the granting of a Wetlands permit conditioned on: 1. The grading being completed as shown on the submitted proposed grading plan. ACTION REQUIRED If City Council desires to implement the Planning Commission's recommendation, they should pass a motion granting a Wetlands Permit allowing construction of single family home on Lots 1, 2, 15, 16, Block 2, T.T. Smith's Subdivision No. 3 conditioned on the the grading plan being completed as shown on the submitted proposed grading plan. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Jaw March 22, 1990 TO: Planning Commission FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Direc Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assists SUBJECT: Case No. 90-07: Heaver Design and Construction McManus Wetlands Permit DISCUSSION Last,year the City completed Brookside Lane to serve the Ivy Falls Creek Addition. This development is adjacent to Ivy Creek. Ivy Creek is a waterway within the City's Wetland Ordinance and all construction within a hundred feet (1001) of the creek needs a Wetlands Permit. In the Ivy Creek Subdivision area, the land surrounding the creek has been also designated as Wetlands. This fact was overlooked at the time of subdivision and a Wetlands Permit was not included as part of the platting. Amy and Tim McManus now wish to build a house on Lots 1, 2, 15, 16, Block 2, T.T. Smith's Subdivision No. 3. Please see attached plans. The entire area of the Brookside Lane improvements is included in a Wetlands District and every lot will require a Wetlands Permit for development. Staff feels that it makes sense to consider the entire area for permits as a whole. The McManus house and most of the development around Brookside is within a Wetlands boundary. (See attached map) Staff now feels that this Wetlands boundary was excessive. The important Wetlands feature to protect in this area is the creek itself. Commission members may wish to visit the area to view the lay of the land. The City's Wetlands Ordinance requires a public hearing for Wetlands Permits for development in excess of one single family lot. We propose to advertise for and conduct a public hearing to consider Wetlands Permits for the entire subdivision at the April Planning Commission meeting. In the meanwhile, Mr. Heaver has two houses proposed for construction where the homeowner has occupancy deadlines. He has therefore applied for those permits on an individual basis. ACTION REQUIRED Consider waiving the public hearing. Discuss the proposal with the applicant and make a recommendation to the City Council on the requested Wetlands Permit for Lots 1, 2, 15, 16, Block 2, T.T. Smith's Subdivision No. 3. JED/KLB:kkb PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 27 March 1990 90-07 Heber Design and Development Inc. Northwest Corner of Brookside Lane and Laura Avenue (see sketch) Approval of Wetlands Permit 1. This property consists of Lots 1, 2, 15 and 16 of Block 2 of Smith's Addition, which was platted long before the Village was formed in 1956. These lots are proposed to be utilized as a single parcel, creating a lot with 120 feet of frontage and a depth of 270 feet. Thus, the lot far exceeds the 15,000 -square -foot minimum. You will also note from the map that a 20 -foot alley was originally platted between these pairs of lots. That alley is in the process of being vacated. Up until this past year, these lots had no street frontage. Last year, however, a new plat was developed called Ivy Falls Creek Addition, which replatted the property to the east. When the streets for this plat were constructed (last year), the construction was extended easterly through the old right-of-way originally platted along the south edge of these four . lots. Thus, the four lots together now are a developable parcel. 2. One of the reasons that the land in this area was not developed for so many years is that the land has been low and wet. Thus, when the wetlands area plan was developed in about 1975, the area in which the lots were located was designated a "wetland". In order to receive a building permit today, it is necessary to process a Wetlands Permit. 3. When Brookside Lane was constructed, the properties on either side (north and south) were assessed for the cost of the street, storm sewer, curb and gutter, and water and sewer. The decision to develop the properties on both sides of the street was made when the plat and the public improvements were approved by the Council and constructed. Thus, there is no question that a permit has to be issued for residences fronting on this -newly constructed and assessed street. 4. A considerable area of wetlands remains on the north part of this property in question, which you can see by looking at the attached wetlands map. The location of the property in question and the location of another proposed residence by this same developer on the easterly end of the wetlands is also shown on the wetlands map. This is a part of the plat approved last year and is the subject of the next application (90-08) submitted by the same developer. Heber Design and Development Inc., Case No. 90-07 Page 2 5. Attached is a copy of the site plan submitted by the applicant showing the dimensions and the exact location of the proposed house. You will note that the house is proposed to be setback 35 feet from the street rather than the normal 30 feet. There is no problem with the lot depth of 270 feet. Though the additional 5 -foot setback in the front places the home theoretically 5 feet further into the wetlands, we suggest that this is not an important factor based on the scale of the wetlands to the north. The house has a total depth at its maximum point of 40 feet, thus the proposed setback is a total of 75 feet from the front lot line. 6. The applicant notes that they do not propose to do any additional filling beyond that which was done as a part of the road construction past these lots. We assume that there will be some dispersion of soil from the construction of the basement, but that no additional fill will be brought in to further erode the wetlands to the north. This may be a condition that would apply to the approval of the wetlands permit for this property. 7. In summary, it appears reasonable to allow for the construction of a residence on this site. Though originally a part of the wetlands, the development of the plat to the west and the construction of Brookside Lane commits the City to allowing the development u: residences on both sides of the street as it now exists. A condition to an approval might be that there be no additional fill hauled from the outside to disturb the wetlands remaining on the northerly portion of the site. :10 L: ,u� a .

The request is to allow the construction of a single family home at 685 Brookside Lane. (See attached staff and planner memos.) Please refer to Case No. 90-07 for a discussion of Wetlands Permits for this entire area. The Planning Commission expressed a concern about the high water mark at the 866' elevation. The proposed grade changes would eliminate an area behind the storm water dike designed for temporary storm water detention. Mr. Heaver indicated he could abide by a condition to limit fill north of the existing 864' elevation. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission unanimously waived the requirement for a public hearing. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that City Council approve a Wetlands Permit for construction of a single family home at Lot 4, Block 2, Ivy Falls Creek Addition with the following condition: 1. That no fill be allowed north of the existing 864' elevation as shown on the grading plan. ACTION REQUIRED If City Council desires to implement the Planning Commission's recommendation, they should pass a motion granting a Wetlands Permit for Lot 4, Block 2, Ivy Falls Creek Addition with the following condition: 1. That no fill be allowed north of the existing 864' elevation as shown on the grading plan. J c, CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 22, 1990 TO: Planning Commission FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Direc Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assista L �j SUBJECT: Case No. 90-08: Heaver Design and Construction Lot 4, Block 2, Ivy Falls Creek Addition Wetlands Permit DISCUSSION This is the second of two individual Wetlands Permits being sought tonight by Mr. Heaver. Please refer to staff's memo for Planning Case No. 90-07, McManus Wetlands Permit. This lot, in addition to the comments noted on the McManus Wetlands Permit, has a storm water dike that was constructed along the rear lot line to provide a temporary holding area for storm water detention. Staff feels the proposed grading changes in the rear of the lot should be altered to not allow fill north of the 864' contour. ACTION REQUIRED Consider waiving the public hearing. Discuss the proposal with the applicant and make a recommendation to the City Council on a Wetlands Permit for Lot 4, Block 2, Ivy Falls Creek Addition. JED/KLB:kkb �J \J l PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 27 March 1990 Heber Design and Development Inc. Northwest Corner of Brookside Lane and Laura Avenue (see sketch) Approval of Wetlands Permit 1. Attached is a copy of the site plan indicating the location of this property in question, which is Lot 4, Block 2 of Ivy Falls Creek Addition. In addition, we understand that the applicant has submitted a drawing showing the location of this property as it relates to the total plat. Our base map has not been updated showing this replat of the original Smith's Third Addition (referred to in report 90-07). However, we have shown the location of this platted area as it relates to the original plat. 2. The request is for a wetlands permit to construct a new residence as indicated on the site plan referred to in paragraph one. - You will note by examining the site plan that the northerlymost extension of the residence is a total of 110 feet from the north line of the right-of-way providing frontage for this lot. That would be the curve on Brookside Lane. The topography shows that much of this land is high, going from an elevation of 876 to 864. You will note that the street in front of the house is to be graded at 882 and 880, and that portions of the. yard will be graded to a maximum 882. 3. It appears that this rather substantial house will fit well into the lot with a walkout to the north as shown on the site plan. Also, there is a swimming pool proposed to be added on the westerly side of the lot near the center. This is obviously on the high ground, which was never part of the wetlands area. Based on the construction and the assessment of the street fronting on this lot, it appears obvious that a building permit should be issued. The house and pool are concentrated to the high side of the site (south and west). It appears that the proposal is a reasonable concept. An approval, if granted, could allow the residence to be within 110 feet of the north right-of-way on the frontage road and the pool and grading to be accomplished in accordance with the site plan submitted by the applicant.

Danieso Public Works Dir SUBJECT: Marie Avenue Trail MSA Variance Application DISCUSSION There are two vertical curves on Marie Avenue associated with the "steep hill" by Callahan Place that are not in compliance with today's MSA standards. At the March 6, 1990 meeting, Council authorized staff to request a variance from MSA standards allowing the curves to remain as constructed and to be able to get MSA funding assistance for the Marie Avenue Trail construction. Staff has now learned that the MSA Variance Committee will not meet until sometime in June. This means that the City may not be able to get MSA approval for the project until sometime in the middle of the summer. MSA rules do not allow an award of any contracts until MSA approvals have been gained. In order for the City to proceed with the project now, MSA staff members have suggested that the City apply for a second variance that would allow the City to apply for and receive MSA funds after award of the contract. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City request a second variance from MSA standards allowing funding of the Marie Avenue project after award of the contract. ACTION REQUIRED If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution 90 - RESOLUTION REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE M.S.A. STANDARDS FOR MARIE AVENUE (T.H. 149, DODD ROAD TO DELAWARE AVENUE) M.S.A. PROJECT NO. 140-101-01 (IMPROVEMENT NO. 89, PROJECT NO. 6B) City of Mendota Heights Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO 90 - RESOLUTION REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE M.S.A. STANDARDS FOR MARIE AVENUE (T.H. 149, DODD ROAD TO DELAWARE AVENUE) M.S.A. PROJECT NO. 140-101-07 (IMPROVEMENT NO. 89, PROJECT NO. 6B) WHEREAS, to promote safer pedestrian traffic, the City of Mendota Heights desires to upgrade Marie Avenue (Dodd Road to Delaware) in the summer of 1990; and WHEREAS, the City desires to take bids on the proposed walkway project in May in order to complete the project in a timely fashion; and WHEREAS, M.S.A. rules require that the state -aid engineer approve only those plans that meet M.S.A. standards; and WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights has already applied for a variance to M.S.A. standards which will not be acted upon until May or June; and WHEREAS, M.S.A. standards do not allow a City to apply for M.S.A. funds after a contract is let; and WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights wishes to receive funding for segment "B" of the Marie Avenue project if the variance previously applied for is granted, 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 8802.2800 subp. 2 that provides that only those projects for which plans are approved by the state -aid engineer prior to the award of contract are eligible for state -aid construction funds.

David Olson was hired on April 1, 1989 to fill a vacancy in the Police Department. He successfully completed our field training program of three months working with training officer, Dona Currie; and, for the past nine months, his performance on the Department has been more than satisfactory. As he was appointed as a probationary police officer, we are now required to either extend his probation, terminate his employment, or permanently appoint him. I request that David Olson, based on his performance over the past one year, be permanently appointed to the position of Patrol Officer with the Mendota Heights Police Department.

We have enclosed the following materials to assist you in recognizing and encouraging volunteers in your community: - Facts sheet for speeches or articles; - Sample local proclamation; - Brochure "on MOVS Handbook for Volunteer Recognition and. recognition certificates signed by the Governor; and - Catalogue of Celebrate Minnesota Volunteers recognition items. Most of the above items are designed for use throughout the year, as well as during Volunteer.Recognition Week. The Minnesota Office on Volunteer Services (MOVS), Department of Administration also has additional materials which are available upon request to help you Celebrate Minnesota Volunteers: - Governor's Proclamation; - Ideas for recognition activities; - Sample news releases and radio Public Service Announcements; - Ad slicks for use in print media; and - Information on recognition for youth in community service.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Easement Vacation DISCUSSION March 29, 1990 Admin' or Mr. Ultan Duggan purchased two lots in Copperfield III to construct a new home on. His new home is constructed in the center of these two lots and across the lot line (see attached map). The City's subdivision ordinance requires that drainage and utility easements be established along all lot lines at the time of platting. Because his home is over the lot line it is also over an easement. The City has no longer any need for that easement. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City vacate the drainage and utility easements located between Lots 6 and 7 Block 3 Copperfield III Addition. ACTION REQUIRED Conduct the required public hearing and then if Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution 90- RESOLUTION APPROVING VACATION OF A DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT.

The lots are being combined into three groups of four lots each and developed as three single family home sites. There is an alley that divides each new home site in half, this alley is not needed by the City (see attached drawing).

Dear Mayor and Members of the Council: I am writing to request a continuance of our scheduled appearance at your regular council meeting of April 3, 1990 to your regularly scheduled council meeting of May 1, 1990. In response to the previous Planning Commission's approval contingent upon satisfactory access, and your continuance based on our explanation of the project last February 6th, we have met with MnDOT representatives to explore further agreeable alternatives for access to our planned building site. At that meeting of February 23, 1990, MnDOT did give us some encouragement by agreeing to one other alternative. Because members of our Building Committee are out of town, we have not yet been able to meet to consider this new information. Therefore, any appearance at your April 3rd meeting would not be organizationally representative of the DNC's final recommendation/proposal. In view of this, I am requesting a continuance to your May 1st meeting. We thank you for your work and look forward to presenting the exciting plans we have to enhance the Dodge Nature Center and along with doing so, enhance life and living for the people of Mendota Heights. JAM: kJ cc: Building Committee ince 4 ly, James M. Malkowski )Executive Director i r CITY OF MnUDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 28, 1990 To: Mayor, City Council and City Admin' or From: James Danielson, Director of Public o Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assis n � Subject: CASE NO. 89-40: Frye - Critical Area Variance DISCUSSION Mr. and Mrs. Richard Frye were before the March Planning Commission to present a compromise plan for a swimming pool addition to their house located on 1845 Hunter Lane. (See attached staff memos.) Their neighbors to the south, Mr. and Mrs. Katz, have raised objections to the Frye's proposal and were represented at the meeting by their attorney, Mr. Eric Miller. Mr. Miller requested that if the variance were to be approved that three conditions be placed upon the approval. They are: 1. That the exterior construction material match the house. 2. That no trees be planted to block the view. 3. That the roof pitch be changed from a slope 3:12 to 4:12. The Planning Commission had no concern with the first proposed condition as the exterior conditions were what was being proposed by the applicants. The Planning Commission felt that one of the objectives of the Critical Area Ordinances was to preserve and promote tree growth along the bluff, however when they discussed the condition with Mr. Frye they learned he had no intentions of planting any trees anyway. The Planning Commission discussed the problems that the third condition would cause Mr. Frye and discovered that the 3:12 pitch matches the pitch of the existing home and that the 4:12 pitch would appear strange from the outside and would block the view from the inside. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission praised Mr. Frye in for his efforts to compromise and voted unanimously to recommend approval of his requested twenty-two foot (22') setback variance from the bluffline subject to the following conditions: 1. That the exterior of the addition match the existing house. 2. That no fill be placed in the setback region by the bluff. That no trees or shrubs be planted that would block the view along the bluffline for the neighbors. ACTION REQUIRED Conduct the public hearing. If the City Council desires to implement the Planning Commission's recommendation they should pass a motion granting a twenty-two foot (22') Variance to the Critical Area Ordinance's required bluffline setback subject to the above listed conditions.

Mr. Frye was seeking the setback variance in order to construct an indoor pool within a proposed two story addition. The Planning Commission has visited the site and the public record includes photos of the Frye property and their neighbor's property. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the original application and the Frye's delayed going before the City Council in order to prepare a compromise plan. When Council learned that a compromise plan was being drafted, they instructed staff to return the matter back to the Planning Commission for a new recommendation. Staff has sent out notices regarding tonight's hearing on the revised plans. The revision of the plans changes the planning considerations. Because the revised addition is further from the bluffline than the existing house, the applicants would need a Critical Area Variance of twenty-two feet (221). This would bring the existing house into conformance and allow construction of the addition. ACTION REQUIRED Conduct the public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on the requested Critical Area setback variance of twenty-two feet (221) to the bluffline. JED/KLB:kkb PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 27 March 1990 Richard H. Frye West of Southerly of (see sketch) Critical Variance Hunter Lane, Orchard Place Area Setback 1. Attached is a copy of the memo to the Planning Commission from James Danielson and Kevin Batchelder summarizing the action taken by the City Council relevant to Richard Frye's application. The Council requested that the Planning Commission reconsider a revised proposal because it has been substantially amended from the original application. A new public hearing has been published for the March 27th meeting. 2. Also attached is a copy of a memo prepared by Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant, which is a listing of previously . approved variances to the Critical River Corridor Area Ordinance and a copy of that portion of the Ordinance dealing with variances and fees. . This memo was previously distributed to members of the Planning Commission, but is attached for your convenience. The Staff has met with the applicant (on January 21, 1990) to review a revised concept which included angling the proposed structure (to cover the proposed swimming pool) away from the contiguous neighbor to the south (Paul Katz) and substantially lowering the roof line by proposing a shed roof oriented to the bluff versus the previously proposed gable roof design. Since that time, Mr. Frye has amended the proposal so as to substantially reduce the depth (east -west dimension) of the - proposed structure by reducing the length of the roof line. Staff has met with Paul Katz on Monday, March 19 after he had reviewed the plans with his neighbors (the Frye's) over the weekend. You will recall that Mr. Katz expressed concern regarding the impeding of his view from his residence and property to the northeast. Certainly these views from both of these residences are spectacular and both land owners have taken steps to ensure the retention of these views by purchasing property to the 'west, which consists primarily of the steep slope down toward Highway 13. Part of that view is in the immediate foreground of both properties in the form of a steep ravine. This is shown on the attached site plan presented by Mr. Frye as a shaded gray area. 3. Attached is a copy of a site plan prepared by Paul McLagan, surveyor, for Mr. Frye. The footprint of the original proposal is shown in yellow, the footprint of the plan discussed with Staff on January 21 is shown in crosshatching, and the footprint of the current proposal is shown in green. Also attached are copies of the blue -line drawings (two sheets) Richard Frye, Case No. 89-40 indicating the south and addition) and the basic noted on the elevations (and perhaps the Planning materials will match the Page 2 west elevations of the house (including the plan of the proposed addition. One item not is the use of exterior materials. We assume Commission should ascertain) that the proposed existing structure. 4. You will note from examination of the currently proposed site plan (with the colors) that the current proposal is to angle the new structure so as to be approximately 20 feet from the slope of the bluff. That slope is shown on the drawing as a dotted line contiguous to the shaded area, which is the ravine. You will also note that the existing house is 18 feet from the roof line, whereas the setback standard is 40 feet. Thus, in order to add to this house at all, a variance to the existing 18 -foot setback must be approved. This will take the structure out of the nonconforming class that now applies to the property as currently developed. 5. The setback to the proposed structure to the west from the nearest tip of the ravine (where the 24 -inch cottonwood is located) is 40 feet. Thus, no setback variance is requested for this westerly dimension. The setback to the westerlymost portion of the bluff line (where the 18 -inch ash is) is proposed to be 50 feet. Thus, the setback of the proposed addition varies from 20 feet to 50 feet, with that portion running parallel to the ravine on the southwest side of the proposed addition being that area for which a variance would be necessary at 20 feet. Perhaps more important is the fact that in this current design, the roof of the proposed structure is a =iot roximately a 3 and 12 pitch to the west. Thist on the, west side of the structure of approxi 6. In our conversations with Mr.te whether he agreed with the proposed development plan or not. He did express his extreme concern for the integrity of his view of the River Corridor and his interest in maintaining that view for himself and others. We also discussed the fact that the survey clearly indicates that a portion of what appears to be Mr. Katz's lot extends some 8 feet into the Frye property. This is noted on the site plan by referring to the location of the retaining walls and the chain-link fence indicated on the site plan and survey prepared by Paul McLagan. Thus, these two parties have some mutual interest with which to be concerned in the future. Mr. Katz noted that other property lines to the south of his land also has similar problems of an apparent overlap of lot lines. We suggested to Mr. Katz that it may be important for all of these parties to seek an amiable solution to these lot line questions, rather than let them go for possible future court actions. 7. It is apparent that the Frye's in this case have made a significant effort to reduce the impact of the proposed addition to the west side of their existing structure. It would appear from the layout that the area on the west side of the house is an appropriate location for the pool and its enclosure. Since the existing house is 18 feet from the bluff line, it would appear that the 20 -foot setback proposed would not significantly alter the view. This is a matter of opinion and depends on where the view is observed. It is perhaps noteworthy to bear in mind that the side yard setback for the house in question (though 18 Richard Frye, Case No. 89-40 Page 3 feet' from the line of the ravine) is some 27 feet from the south property line. That is of course the dimension shown on the survey. The distance from the house to the chain-link fence scales about 18 feet. A 10 -foot setback is required. 8. Staff has suggested to the applicant and his contiguous neighbor that - the most appropriate solution is one wherein the two parties can get together and agree. One would hope that this is possible. 9. If positive action is considered for this proposal, the condition that it be developed in accordance with the plans as submitted may be appropriate. In addition, some reference to the use of building materials would be appropriate, presumably to match the existing siding on the house. A condition that might assist in protecting the contiguous neighbor's view might include an agreement on the part of the applicant to not plant coniferous or a significant tree growth (of that type) so as to impede the southerly neighbor's view of the River Valley to the northwest. Obviously such plantings at maturity could substantially block this view. i '� [' .�- ,;_:�. �.�` - J `� ■ ,`\'CIF,. J 1 LA - SUBJECT PROPERTY I e.

This report highlights the requests that have been made since the Ordinance was adopted in 1979. This report does -not include modified site plan reviews that have been processed, it only focuses on variance requests. As the Planning Commission is aware, a modified site plan review proceeds directly to City Council if all requirements of the Ordinance are met, including the required forty foot (401) setback from the bluffline. DISCUSSION I have attached Section V of the Critical Area Ordinance that explains the requirements for granting a variance to this ordinance. In Section 5.4, items A through G list the criteria for granting a variance. Since the Ordinance was adopted in 1979, the City of Mendota Heights has been approached sixteen times by applicants requesting variances. (Please see the attached list of CAO variance requests.) Of these request, fourteen have been approved, however, not all approvals have been for as much setback as was requested. In some cases, the approval that was granted, was considerably less of a variance than was requested and the approval was a compromise between the applicant and the City. Not all the variances requested were for bluffline setbacks. For instance, the applicants in Case No. 88-05 requested a variance to the type of material allowed in building a retaining wall. One request was for a variance to a front yard setback in order to move the building envelope forward and away from the bluffline. The variance that allows the closest setback to the bluffline was Case No. 88-04 (Huestis). The Huestis' were allowed to build an addition to their house to within sixteen feet (161) of the bluffline. This twenty four foot (241) variance was in actuality an extension of six feet (61) from their existing house. Section 5.4, Item b of the Critical Area Ordinance states that "the variance is proved necessary in order to secure for the applicant the right or rights that are enjoyed by other owners in the same area of the district." In the Hunter Lane/Orchard Place neighborhood, variances have been granted to Hunter (Case No. 85- 01) and Cochrane (Case No. 87-01). In both cases a twenty foot (201) variance to the bluffline setback was allowed. The following text is a brief, case by case synopsis of each CAO variance request since 1984. 1. FRYE — CASE NO. 89-40 This case is currently pending and is the stimulus for this report. The Frye's are requesting a variance to the bluffline setback in order to build a two story pool enclosure as an addition to their home, which was built before the Ordinance was enacted. 2. EAGAN POOL AND SPA - CASE NO. 89-36 A twenty foot (201) bluffline Council for the building of a compromise with the applicants that would have been closer to 3. BJORKLUND - CASE NO. 88-05 4. setback was approved by City spa. This approval was a after a pool was rejected the bluffline. This request was for a variance to the material used in building a retaining wall and was approved based on its natural appearance. HUESTIS - CASE NO. 88-04 The existing house was twenty two (221) feet from the bluffline at 649 Sibley Memorial Highway. A six foot (61) extension was added,to an eighteen foot (181) variance that was granted to bring the house into conformance with the Ordinance and to allow construction of an addition. This brought the total setback variance to twenty four feet (241) thus allowing the addition to be within sixteen feet (16') of the bluffline. 5. COCHRANE - CASE NO. 87-01 The City Council approved a twenty foot (201) setback variance from the bluffline in order to construct a new home at 1819 Hunter Lane. The applicants suggested a hardship in squeezing their large, proposed home into a triangular shaped lot. City Council also cited the twenty foot (201) bluffline setback granted previously to Dr. Hunter. 6. OLSEN - CASE NO. 87-03 At 1254 Culligan Lane, the Olsen's request was to have an eleven foot (111) setback variance to the bluffline for a new home. This would have allowed the house to be built within twenty nine feet (291) of the bluffline. The Planning Commission recommended a five foot (51) variance and City Council approved that recommendation. There were also neighbor objections to the proposed height of the house. 7. KREBSBACH - CASE NO. 86-05 The applicants received approval for a ten foot (101) variance to the front yard setback of thirty feet (301). This allowed the applicants to build the home closer to the front of the property and away from the steeper grades in the rear of the lot. This house has not been built. 8. HUNTER - CASE NO. 85-01 The applicant, Dr. Hunter of 1175 Orchard Place, requested a thirty two foot (321) variance to the bluffline setback to build a new home. The Planning Commission, on a 5-1 vote recommended that City Council deny this request. Council approved a twenty foot (201) variance to the setback as a compromise to the applicant. 9. TAURINSKAS - CASE NO. 85-03 The applicant requested a fifteen foot (151) variance to the bluffline setback at 1220 Knollwood Lane. This request was approved. The stated hardship was that in order to meet the thirty foot (301) front yard setback requirement, the proposed house had to be pushed into the bluffline setback. The applicants had signatures of consent from their neighbors. 10. OPHOVEN - CASE NO. 85-07 This lot is the current Paster lot next door to Dr. Hunter of 1175 Orchard Place. Paster currently uses a private easement to enter this lot. The Ophovens had requested a variance to allow the construction of a driveway from Highway 13 in order to access the lot. The Ophoven's were unable to obtain a private easement for entrance and it was apparent the City would not approve such a steep driveway. This case is still pending as the variance request was unable to obtain approval and was tabled.

'Clear cutting, except for any authorized public ser- vices such as roads and utilities, shall not be per- mitted. B. Selective cutting of trees in excess of four (4) inches in diameter at breast height*is permitted provided that cutting is spaced in several cutting operations and a continuous tree cover is maintained, uninterrupted by large openings. In cases where the existing tree cover has been interrupted by large openings in the past, selective cutting should be performed so as to maintain a continuous tree cover in the remaining wooded areas. C. The above cutting provisions will not be deemed to prevent: 1. The removal of diseased or insect infested trees, or of rotten or damaged trees that present safety hazards; 2. Pruning understory vegetation, shrubs, plants, bushes, grasses, or from harvesting crops, or cutting suppressed trees or trees less than four (4) inches in diameter at breast height. S CTION V. VARIANCES �5.1 Purpose. The :Council may grant variances from the strict appli- cation of the provisions of this Ordinance and impose conditions and safeguards in the variances so granted in cases where there are practical difficulties or particular hardships necessarily involved in the manner in which the strict letter of the regula- tions of this Ordinance are carried out. 5.2 Applications. A written application for a variance shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator and shall contain evidence idequate to show the exceptional conditions and the peculiar and aractical difficulties claimed as the basis for the variance. ?fifteen (15) sets of clearly legible, blue or black lined copies or drawings and required information shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator and shall be accompanied by a receipt from the City Clerk evidencing the payment of all required variance fees for processing, as set forth in Section 6.1 and the bond, when required by Council, in the amount so calculated in accor- dance with this Ordinance. Referral to the Planning Commission. Before the granting of any variance, the application therefor shall be referred to the Plann- ing Commission for study concerning the effect of the proposed variance upon the Comprehensive Plan and on the character and value of the Critical Area Overlay District, and for its recomm- endation to the Council for the granting of -such variance from the strict application of the provisions of the Critical Area Dverlay District Ordinance so as to relieve such difficulties or hardships to the degree -considered reasonable without impair- ing the intent and purpose of the Critical Area Overlay Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission shall re- :ommend such conditions related to the variance as it may deem advisable. 77ariance Approval Standards. In considering applications for 7ariance under this Ordinance, the Council shall consider the idvice and recommendations of the Planning Commission and may jrant variance from the strict application of the provisions if this Critical Area Overlay District Ordinance and impose :onditions and safeguards in the variances so granted, provided :he following additional criteria shall be considered: A.

The properties that are proposed to be assessed for this project are shown on the attached map. The most significant issue which must be resolved is the assessing of the cemetery land which is not dedicated to grave sites. DISCUSSION In the feasibility report it was stated that the non- dedicated cemetery land should be assessed just like all other properties, as it is receiving benefit. Although not dedicated as cemetery, this land is tax exempt. Therefore if this assessment were challenged, there may be some difficulty in proving benefit. The cemetery has indicated that it would be opposed to any assessments levied against the property (see the attached letter). However, further discussions with the cemetery attorney have taken place, and Staff has learned that the cemetery is not necessarily opposed to deferred assessments. Deferment of the assessments would not be a severe burden to the.City, as TIF financing arrangements could be made to cover the costs of carrying this portion of the assessment obligation until the cemetery property is developed or sold. Thus, we should plan on assessing this property, and give serious consideration to a request for deferment from the cemetery board. Note a that request must be made before the City can defer the assessments. In the event that it is not possible to levy assessments against the non -dedicated Acacia land, TIF could be used to cover the obligation. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council hold the public hearing and implement the assessment procedures as described in the feasibility report, with the understanding that a deferment to the cemetery would be seriously considered if requested. After designating the assessment methods Staff recommends Council order Staff to begin preparation of plans and specifications, subject to receiving an approved development plan from the developer.

Attorney At Law 2000 American National Bank Building 5th and Minnesota Streets St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 (612) 223-5047 March 15, 1990 City of Mendota Heights Mendota Heights City Hall 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55118 Re: Proposed assessments for improvements on Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31 and CR31A) Gentlemen: This office represents Acacia Park Cemetery Association, a public cemetery located within Mendota Heights,•Minnesota. The Cemetery has received a Notice of Hearing on the proposed construction of sanitary sewers and other street improvements on Pilot Knob Road where it lies adjacent to the Cemetery. For clarification, that part of the Cemetery property lying west of Pilot Knob Road is and has been highly developed as a d'emetery and for burial purposes. Approximately 250 burials take place each year in the Cemetery. The Cemetery also owns a large tract of land east of and contiguous with Pilot Knob Road. Substantially all of this land is used for growing sod and trees for the exclusive use of Acacia Park CemeteTy. In addition, on this easterly tract there are two (2) homes each occupied by a party charged with patroling and protecting the Cemetery and its grounds. Furthermore, there is a storage building in which cemetery equipment is housed. It is the Cemetery's position that.the area west of Pilot Knob Road is exempt from assessment by virtue of the fact that it is a developed cemetery within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes•3O6.14, and that the area east of Pilot Knob Road is also being used for cemetery purposes necessary to the operation and existence of the cemetery and therefore is also exempt. May we remind the City of Mendota Heights that this matter was actually litigated in the District Court of Dakota County about twenty•(2O) years go. Judge Breunig ruled that both the Cemetery properties west and east of Pilot Knob Road were being used for cemetery purposes and were exempt from taxes and assessments. Very truly yours, CWC:•dlr .4-,� Carl W. Cummins January 31, 1990 TO: Mayor, City Council, City Administrator FROM: Klayton Eckles Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Garron Feasibility Report Update Job No. 8420 Improvement No. 84, Project 2 INTRODUCTION About 5 years ago Steve Gage of the Garron Corporation was developing a commercial site north of Acacia Cemetery. An extensive feasibility report was completed that examined utility service to the Garron Site and all of the areas surrounding the Acacia Cemetery. The feasibility report was accepted by the Council and plans were ordered for the project. Shortly after the plans were ordered, the project was put on hold by the Garron Corporation. No actions have been taken to develop the site since that time, until now. Steve Gage, now of Edge Commercial Real Estate, has requested that the City again begin pursuing utility service to the site. It has been over three years since the report was accepted and the public hearing closed. Therefore a new hearing is required. Since there have been a number of changes in the area in the past 5 years, the feasibility report should be updated. The discussion in this report will be centered on the changes that have occurred since the last feasibility report. The original report is attached, and changes in it are included in the margins. DISCUSSION The original report includes discussion of four phases of construction. Phase One concerns the utilities for the Garron Site. Phase Two is the looped water connection, portions of which have already been constructed, and the remainder will be constructed as part of the State interchange project (scheduled for 1991-92 completion). Phase Three has.already been completed as part of the Big Wheel project.- Phase Four, the Furlong Addition, is discussed in•separate memo. The overriding factor that affects all these phases of construction is the completion of the T.H. 13-110-55 interchange project. The interchange project has been on the drawing boards for more than 40 years, and there have been repeated false alarms of impending construction. This time however, it seems the project will be constructed as planned. The Mendota Bridge is to be reconstructed (with federal money involved), which means the interchange project must also be completed. The construction of the interchange project will mean our watermain loop will have to be built, Pilot Knob will have to be upgraded to MSA standards (after the county turnback), and the utility stubs and storm sewer stubs to serve the Lemay area will have to be installed. The Garron Site and all of its utilities should still stand on its own, but coordination with the County and state will be necessary to avoid any redundant construction. It has been 5 years since the original Feasibility Report, so the costs listed in it are somewhat outdated. Generally, the construction costs have been raised by 15% to reflect inflation. Watermain costs have been increased by 20% due to possible oversizing requirements by the Fire Marshall, and storm sewer costs by 48t to reflect the tighter standards for holding pond design. The new estimated total costs for Phase One construction are as follows: ITEM COST Sanitary Sewer $237,000 Watermains $119,000 Storm Sewers $75,000 Streets $101,000 TOTAL PROJECT COST $562,000 County Participation $56,000 TOTAL CITY OBLIGATION $506,000 Assessments These costs are proposed to be split in the same manner used in the original report. There is one very significant difference between the revised funding proposal and the old proposal. In the original proposal the City intended to use T.I.F. funds to pick up the assessments for those parcels that would not have an immediate need for the utilities (MAC, Acacia non -dedicated land, and private parcels). The rational was that these parcel owners would ask for deferments anyway, so the City might as well pick up these costs with T.I.F. funds. Staff has reexamined this issue and has formulated a new opinion and recommendation on the matter. Staff proposes that all the property that can possibly be assessed should be assessed. If the property owners ask for deferments, the Council can consider each on a case by case basis. This proposal would increase the assessed amount from 21t to 63% of the total project cost (ignoring county participation). The following is a summary of the new proposed assessment breakdown, including assessments for Acacia non -dedicated land, and private land: PROPERTY T.I.F FUNDS ASSESSMENT TOTAL Garron Site Acacia Cemetery MAC Property (United Properties) Private Parcels SUBTOTAL County Participation GRAND TOTAL $110,500 $173,000 $174,400 (dedicated) (non -dedicated) $13,600 $186,600 $17,500 $17,400 $319,400 $110,500 $347,400 $17,500 $30,600 $506,000 $56,000 $562,000 This increased use of assessments and decreased use of T.I.F. money is the only major difference between this report and the original report. Questions to Resolve Council should address the following questions: 1) Is the proposed reduction in T.I.F. expenditures, and corresponding increase in assessments an acceptable method of dividing the costs? 2) Is the newly updated feasibility report with all of the proposed changes RECOMMENDATION The installation of utilities to serve the property known as the Garron Site, is both technically and financially feasible, and therefore Staff recommends Council accept this report and order a public hearing. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO / March 28, 1990 To: Mayor, City Council and City Admin_i�-,-�or From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assista(�� Subject: CASE NO. 90-05: Foto Mark, Inc. CUP for Mining DISCUSSION Mike Meagher, representing Foto Mark, Inc. appeared before the Planning Commission to request a Conditional Use Permit for Mining for the purpose of removing greater than 400 cubic yards of earth. (Ordinance 401, Section 4.13) Foto Mark, Inc. wishes to build a future addition to their building and desires to grade a recently acquired lot in order to accomodate any future additions. The Planning Commission expressed some concern about the use of retaining walls along the north and south.property lines. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that City Council approve a Cond`-ignal Use Permit for Mining to allow the removal of greater than 00 cubic yards of earth with the following conditions: 1. That the grading plans eliminate the use of retaining walls. 2. That a maximum slope of 3:1 be utilized along the north and south property lines. ACTION REQUIRED If City Council wishes to implement the Planning Commission's recommendation, they should pass a motion granting a Conditional Use Permit for Mining greater than 400 cubic yards of earth conditioned on: 1. That the grading plans eliminate the use of retaining walls. 2. That a maximum slope of 3:1 be utilized along the north and south property lines. j6,000 COM'. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 22, 1990 TO: Planning Commission FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Direc Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assist t(r§) SUBJECT: Case No. 90-05: Foto Mark, Inc. - CUP for Mining DISCUSSION Foto Mark, Inc. recently acquired some additional land to the west of their facility located at 2411 Pilot Knob Road. That land had been used as a stockpile area for surplus fill dirt from the surrounding developments. Foto Mark now desires to grade that area flat in anticipation of building a future addition to their facility. Removal, or mining, of greater than four hundred cubic yards (400 cu. yds.) requires a conditional use permit. (Ordinance No. 401, Section 4.13) Retaining walls are shown along the boundaries along the north and south property lines. Staff suggests coordination be done with abutting neighbors to continue slopes onto neighboring properties to avoid constructing retaining walls. ACTION REQUIRED Conduct the public hearing. Discuss the proposal with the applicant and make a recommendation to the City Council. JED/KLB:kkb PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 27 March 1990 90-05 Foto Mark Inc. West of Pilot Knob Road, Northerly of Mendota Heights Road (see sketch) Approval of Conditional Use Permit to Remove Fill 1. The original site upon which the Foto Mark building was constructed was expanded several years ago to include an area of land to the west. The property added has a higher grade then the original parcel. In addition, when the original building was constructed, substantial amounts of soil material were piled onto the rear of the regional site, thus making the current grade higher than what previously existed. 2. Foto Mark Inc. now proposes to excavate. the site so as to prepare it for expansion of their facilities. Accordingly, they have submitted :. short statement dated March 2, 1990 which is attached and a site plan indicating existing and proposed contours for the excavation. The plan also indicates the proposed expansion for the building and accompanying parking facilities. 3. Staff has reviewed the development proposal with Mike Meagher, Plant Manager for Foto Mark Inc. The expansion and site development program appears appropriate and conforms to Ordinance requirements. The building expansion can occur without approval of the Planning Commission and Council, though the proposed excavation requires a Conditional Use Permit because it exceeds 400 cubic yards. 4. Before a Building Permit is issued for the structure and for the development of the site (presumably following the excavation at some point in time), a more detailed site plan would have to be prepared indicating drainage, utilities, revisions for curbing the parking lot (not indicated on this plan), and including a landscape plan. 5. With respect to the proposed grading, however, we have some concerns about the indication of the method of terracing the site on the north and south property lines. You will notice a detail drawing at 1/4" to the foot indicating a series of stepped concrete blocks for retaining walls is shown in the upper left-hand corner of the drawing. Concrete block used in this way tends to deteriorate quickly and does not produce an attractive result. Some other form of "keystone type" of retaining wall, natural stone, or timbers offers a more effective and attractive solution. The Planning Commission may wish to discuss this with the applicant at the meeting. r - Foto Mark Inc., Case No. 90-05 Page 2 6. Technically the retaining walls as laid out in the site plan do not work in the sense that the various terrace levels do not match the contours of the contiguous properties to the north and the south. Obviously, when the work is done in the field, it will have to be made to conform to the contours of the contiguous properties. This will result in less lineal footage of retaining wall than indicated on the site plan. However, we assume that perhaps the plan as indicated is merely a general symbol of the retaining wall and was not to be an exact configuration of the lineal footage of retaining wall to be applied in the field. 7. In general, the type and level of retaining walls proposed are better done if constructed of "drywall". This means there is no mortar between the joints, allowing the material to move with seasonal action caused by frost. Some material not requiring to be painted and not laid up with rigid mortar joints will likely be more successful. Another part of the solution might be to make the terraced strip wider than the 10 feet indicated on the plans. There is obviously adequate space here to utilize a greater width in the terraced strip. You will note that parts of the terraced area are to be 12 feet high. Accomplishing this in a 10 -foot wide strip is difficult resulting in more than a 100 percent slope. 8. In summary, the proposed development proposed reasonable subject to changes in the technique for accomplishing grade changes proposed along the side lot lines. .m.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 28, 1990 TO: Mayor, City Council, City Ad i for FROM: Klayton H. Eckles Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Proposal to salvage acquired property DISCUSSION John Winzig, the purchaser of one of the homes out on Highway 55, has submitted a proposal to salvage and remove everything in one of the other remaining two homes in the area (see attached). The house (2161 Highway 55), is one that the Fire Department is using for practice. According to the Fire Chief, the Department is practicing in the two buildings as of March 29. I talked to John Maczko and he informed me that both the remaining houses are incorporated into their training plans. Therefore, although Mr. Winzig has been very cooperative regarding the home he purchased and moved, it doesn't appear reasonable to allow further salvage. As a side note, Mr. Bill Nelson, the original person to bid for salvage of these two houses, never signed an agreement with the City and therefore never partook in any salvage operations. He was recently notified that no agreement would be honored in the future, as the Fire Department is commencing with its training operations. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council deny the request from John Winzig for salvage and clean-up rights for 2161 Highway 55.

March 20, 1990 City of Alendota Heights Mr. William Nelson 2311 Highway 55 Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 Subject: Acquired Properties Job No. 8923 Dear Mr. Nelson: This letter is to inform you that the City will be commencing with its planned burning of the two City owned homes at 2143 and 2161 Highway 55. Therefore all City offers to allow salvaging of these two structures are hereby canceled. Note, that since no signed agreement was ever received, you do not now and never did have any rights to the property. All City offers were subject to a signed agreement. This point of clarifica- tion is made because it appears you may have forgotten the terms of the offer, based on your phone conversation with Guy Kullander on February 26, 1990. An unknown party or parties salvaged several items without au- thorization (some of which you claimed to witness). Therefore the City has increased its patrols in the area in an attempt to apprehend the offending parties. We appreciate yourinput in this process. I regret that you were not able to participate in the agreement. Unfortunately it is no longer possible to allow citizens onto the premises as the Fire Department activities make the site hazardous. Thank you for your interest in the City bidding process. Sincerely, Klayton H. Eckles, P.E.

JPM:jpm CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 30, .1990 TO: Mayor and city Council FROM: Tom Lawell, City Admini.stlk r 4 SUBJECT: Janitorial Service at City Facilities INTRODUCTION Giveathe City's significant capital.investment in its three primary buildings, -City Hall, Public Works facility and Fire Station, quality maintenance and upkeep is of vital importance. In the past, routine cleaning services at these buildings has been handled individually at each facility with varying degrees of success. Due to several recent developments, itis desirable to revisit this issue to receive additional Council input. HISTORY During late 1989, building maintenance at the three primary City facilities was accomplished as follows: city Hall.- Part=time staff.position responsible for janitorial duties. Approximately 28 hours per week. Public Works - Public Works employees responsible for upkeep of work areas in building. Common areas were minimally maintained by Public Works through the allocation of a few hours per week. Fire Station - Volunteer fire fighters responsible for cleaning of facility. During the development of the 1990 Budget, the issue of building maintenance/janitorial duties was generally discussed. Funds allocated through the budget are as follows: City Hall - $7,800 for continuation of part-time staff person. 4) It would provide uniform maintenance and janitorial services for city buildings. ' 5) It would not require training of any personnel to use the buffers or cleaning equipment. 6) Lambert being a firefighter is very familiar with the fire station and the needs of the fire station so there would,be very little time needed to train him. 7) Lambert has done an excellent job at the City Hall. At the budget hearing there were some concerns expressed by the Mayor and it was decided that we would not specifically name a person and that we would talk to the issue later. With that in mind, I pursued two other options. One being the possibility of hiring someone else to perform the janitorial duties and the other being the hiring of a contract maintenance firm. V1 IN03IS thN0 h_*? Option 1. Utilize Lambert. Option 2. Advertise for the position.` If this option is one that Council would like to pursue, they should establish an hourly wage that this person would receive for approximately 6 hours per week. Option 3. Contract Maintenance. Note: We have tried contract maintenance for other , areas within the department (i.e. lawn care) and have had poor success in getting reliable personnel. City Hall also had poor results when they contracted janito- rial services. RECOMMENDATION My recommendation is that the fire department utilize Lambert for their janitorial services for the reasons stated earlier in this memo. ACTION REQUIRED Council should deliberate the question and choose the alternative that they feel would best fit their intent. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 27, 1990 TO: Mayor, City Council, City trator FROM: Klayton H. Eckles Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Local Water Resources Management Plan INTRODUCTION As part of the state requirements regarding Watershed Management Organizations (WMO), the City must complete a Local Water Resources Management Plan by August of 1991. This plan covers issues and problems concerning storm water quality and quantity within the City. We had intended to complete our plan via a joint venture with the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). Due to some unforeseen events it is now evident that Mendota Heights should reconsider its options. DISCUSSION In December of 1989 Council approved an agreement which would enable the City to work with the SWCD to complete our local plan. The proposal by the SWCD had a maximum cost not to exceed $32,000. The fact that city staff would complete approximately one quarter of the work meant that the out of pocket cost to the City would have only been $26,000. Comparison bids were received from three private consultants and the bids ranged from $39,000 to $54,000. In early January the County Board approved the agreement, but shortly thereafter the three SWCD staff members in charge of completing the plan took employment elsewhere. Although the. SWCD has partially re -staffed, this has delayed the project and Staff now doubts that the project can be completed as planned. The new staff members lack knowledge of Mendota Heights and understanding of what we want in our plan. Staff has met with BARR engineering, who had the second lowest bid, and they have indicated that their bid of $39,000 still stands. BARR has completed a number of projects in and around the city, including the Lower Mississippi WMO plan, the Inver Grove Heights local plan, and the Ivy Creek study. Staff has been impressed with the work performed by BARR thus far. Given these events, there are three options available to the City: 1) The existing arrangement with SWCD could be pursued despite the new SWCD staff and high city staff workload. 2) The entire process could be repeated, requesting proposals from consultants, reviewing these, then choosing a new consultant. 3) The project could be awarded to BARR for their original bid of $39,000. The last option holds the most merit. It can be accomplished quickly, which is important now that the time available has diminished. It is a reasonable bid, given that the other bids were both over $10,000 more than this one. And this option would require the least amount of staff commitment. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council direct Staff to enter into an agreement with BARR Engineering for the completion of a Water Resources Management Plan for a price not to exceed $39,000. Staff also recommends Council take action to withdraw from the agreement with the Dakota County SWCD. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with Staff's recommendation then Council should pass a motion directing Staff to prepare an agreement with BARR Engineering for the completion of a Water Resources Management Plan for a price not to exceed $39,000. Council should also pass a motion to cancel the agreement with the SWCD and direct Staff to notify the SWCD of this action. o I n CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO March 30, 1990 TO: Mayor, City Council, City Admi;Lyr FROM: James E. Dani '"��� Public Works it r SUBJECT: 1990 Trail Constr tion DISCUSSION There are approximately 15 miles of trail to be constructed within the park referendum funding. Six miles are proposed to be constructed under this contract, the remaining to be constructed within the park contruction and in later years. The plans and specs have been prepared for this year's contract and the attached drawings show their location. Completed plans and specs will be available Tuesday evening for review if desired. EASEMENTS As part of this construction there have been a number of easements to be acquired. All but one of these easements are now signed and an alternate route can be utilized if that easement is not gained. DAKOTA COUNTY Several Dakota County permits and funding are needed for this work. We understand the permits are approved and to be forth coming. -The funding will not be decided until after the April 24th County Board meeting. The trail along Delaware Avenue between TH110 and Huber Drive is proposed to be widened shoulders, and the east side of Delaware is in Sunfish Lake. Dakota County staff supports County funding of the Sunfish Lake side however, Board approval is being delayed until the April 24th meeting to allow time for a comprehensive trail policy that is now being developed. If the County will not fund the Sunfish Lake segment at this time, we will delete that segment until a later date. MSA FUNDING MSA funding is being sought for 5/8 of the costs along Marie Avenue. A variance is being applied for to allow that funding (see consent agenda). Should that variance be denied the costs for this segment will need to be funded entirely by the Referendum. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the plans and specs for the 1990 trail construction and authorize the taking of bids. Total estimated cost for this construction is $303,000 with the proposed MSA share to be $42,000. ACTION REQUIRED If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion approving the plans & specs and authorize staff to take bids, bids to be opened May 4, 1990.

As part of this proposal each participating party is to appoint representatives to the task force. It is the intent of this memo to discuss these appointments and our approach to this issue. DISCUSSION Attached please find a letter from Mr. Nigel Finney, MAC Deputy Director, concerning this issue. In the letter, Mr. Finney reviews the recent action taken by the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC) to refer this matter to the task force. As pointed out in previous correspondence to the Council, we had anticipated to receive from MAC a much more detailed explanation as to the mission and procedures of this task force. As you can see from the attached letter, these details were not provided. Therefore, it is recommended that any appointments made by the City to this task force be done so under terms and conditions acceptable to the City. A draft letter to Mr. Jeffery Hamiel, MAC Director, setting forth these terms and conditions is attached for your consideration. It should be noted that the City of Eagan has already appointed its representatives to this task force. Eagan has appointed Mr. Jon Hohenstein, Assistant to the City Administrator, and Mr. Dave Gustafson, Councilmember, as their representatives. One of the items included in our terms and conditions is that each City be allowed to utilize additional personnel as needed during the meetings of the task force. This would include our ability to utilize our hired technical consultants on this issue. Therefore, the issue of who is actually appointed as our representatives is not a major decision in that we anticipate utilizing as many individuals as necessary during the course of the task force discussion. Individuals who have been particularly active on this issue in the past include the following: 1. Tom Lawell, City Administrator 2. Larry Shaughnessy, City Treasurer 3. Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant 4. Bob Collette, City Consultant 5. Dave Braslau, City Consultant 6. Bernie Friel, MASAC Representative 7. Mayor and City Councilmembers RECOMMENDATION Given our ability to utilize any and all of the above listed individuals in this discussion, staff has no recommendation as to the specific individuals appointed to this task force. ACTION REQUIRED Council should review the attached letters and offer suggestions as to the terms and conditions which are acceptable for our participation in this task force process. Should the terms and conditions prove acceptable, the Council should make a motion formally appointing the two Mendota Heights representatives to the task force and direct staff to communicate this selection to MAC. 14 9 # M.%q Attachments fA4WAPdA'*'6 Cal& Pain METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION P.O.

Box 11700 Twin Cities Airport, Dear Jeff: Commission MN 55111 The City is in receipt of a letter dated March 20, 1990 from Mr. Nigel Finney requesting that the City of Mendota Heights appoint representatives to the recently formed "blue ribbon" task force. As per our recent meeting on March 16, 1990 it is the intent of this task force to fairly and reasonably address the request of the City of Mendota Heights for a 180 day test of our fanned corridor proposal. It is the intent of this letter to inform you of the appointments to this task force recently made by the City Council, and to outline the terms and conditions we have mutually agreed will apply to the activities of this task force. As we discussed on March 16th, along with representatives of the City of Eagan, it is the mission of this task force to consider the recent Mendota Heights proposal. It is hoped that through this task force we will be able to reach a concensus as a group as to the operational changes we would like to see for aircraft operations departing runways 11R and 11L. As we agreed on March 16th, discussions which take place before the task force are to be fully public and will not be limited to only the finite number of appointed members. More specifically, each party will be able to utilize to any extent they wish the services of technical consultants and other staff members they wish to be involved in the process. It is also our understanding that the procedures of this committee will not include formal voting processes which could result in majority and minority opinions on the issues discussed. It is our mutual understanding that the purpose of this task force is to develop a consensus, rather than to just make a decision. It is further our understanding that this task force will be operating under a tight time frame in developing this concensus. At the MASAC meeting conducted March 7th, you stated that the work of the task force would be completed within 90-120 days. Thus it is our expectation that the task force will complete its mission sometime in June 1990. It is further understood that any concensus developed via this task force will be presented to the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC) for their review. Although this issue has largely been framed as one involving two suburban communities, comments made by MASAC members during the March 7th meeting indicated that other communities could also be directly impacted by any test which may be conducted. It is also understood that MASAC will be kept up to date as to the progress of this task force at each of their monthly meetings leading up to the final presentation by the task force in June - July. Based on the above understanding, on April 3, 1990 the Mendota Heights City Council appointed the following representatives and alternates to the task force: Representative Alternate er' POas° As we have p ev ousl� dis ssed, the use of the task force to address h corridor i sue is contrary to our original expectati Ef MASAC c nsideration.

This agenda item seeks Council approval of a joint powers agreement between the two parties to initiate this joint undertaking. DISCUSSION In past several years, it has been the wish of both parties to jointly develop the proposed athletic complex. Negotiations between the two parties have been ongoing, but were recently intensified given the passage of the City's park bond referendum in 1989. The negotiating parties have recently agreed to recommend the attached agreement to their governing bodies for final consideration. Recognizing the negotiation process for what it is, the agreement represents a compromise on behalf of both parties, each of which has a strong desire to undertake the improvements. Highlights of the proposed agreement include the following: 1. The agreement contemplates operation of the facility for a minimum of 40 years. This long term commitment is representative of the dedication each party holds to providing its constituents with the best available amenities. 2. The agreement obligates each party to contribute a minimum of $15,000 per year to assure high quality maintenance and operation of the facility. Future financial contributions to the facility will be considered in a joint annual budget meeting held in June of each year. 3. The agreement establishes the School District as the primary entity responsible for maintenance and scheduling. The centralized approach to operating the facility should help minimize conflicts between those wishing to utilize the facility. 4. The agreement establishes numerous avenues which could be utilized to settle disputes which may occur during the course of this agreement. The negotiating committee believes that disputes would be settled in accordance with the following progression: a. Administrative Negotiation b. Mutually Acceptable Dispute Resolution Committee C. Binding Arbitration d. Possible Legal Action The negotiating committee feels that this progressive approach to dispute resolution adequately protects the interests of both entities. It is contemplated that the School Board will be considering approval of this agreement at its scheduled April 2, 1990 meeting. Representatives of the School Board have indicated that they anticipate the agreement will be approved at that meeting. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the negotiating committee that the attached agreement be approved enabling us to undertake this joint development. ACTION REQUIRED Should the Council concur with the above recommendation, a motion should be made approving the attached agreement and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the appropriate documents. rVVVM"aq' 7 4 1., MAR -29-1990 14:25 FROM ISD #197 DISTRICT OFFICE TO 4522995 P.02 ,end nden �Sc�i+ooC Dis�ric No. 197 Serving West Saint Paul, Mendota Heights, Lilydale, Mendota, Sunfish Lake and portions of Eagan and Inver Grove Heights 1897 Delaware /avenue • West Saint Paul, Minnesota 55118 • (612) 681-2300 MEMORANDUM T O : School Board FROM; Dr. Bruce R.
