HOUSE MOVER ESCROWS Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from
Engineer Eckles recommending the refund of
escrows for the removal of three houses from
City owned property. Council was informed
that all work has been completed at 2141
Highway 55 (Otting Movers), and at 2143
Highway 55 (John Winzig), and that 95% of the
work at 1805 Delaware (Mark Goldberg) has been
completed, but the house can't be wheeled off
the storage site until road restrictions are
lifted.
Councilmember Anderson moved to authorize the
refund of escrows submitted by Otting Movers
and John Winzig and to authorize staff to
refund the escrow submitted by Mark Goldberg
be refunded after the house has been removed
from the City limits.
Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
WELL ABANDONMENT Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from
Engineer Eckles informing Council that the
Associated Well Drillers bid for abandonment
of six wells on City property was $10,290, but
that the contractor has submitted a final
payment request for $16,650. Public Works
Director Danielson informed Council that the
County added some strict requirements, which
complicated the abandonment process, after the
contract was awarded. He explained that the
County has sent the City a letter asking that
the contractor be given a compensation
increase because of the new requirements and
that staff has carefully reviewed the itemized
costs and recommends that a fair compensation
would be $12,708.74.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if Council
approves the recommended increased payment,
the contractor must accept the payment of
$12,708.74 as full settlement of the claim. If
the payment is not acceptable to the
contractor, he must make written request to
Council as to why the payment should be
increased over his original bid.
Councilmember Hartmann moved to authorize
reimbursement to Associated Well Drillers,
Inc. in the amount of $12,708.74 as payment in
full for all well abandonment procedures
Page No. 2780
April 17, 1990
performed to date, and to commend staff for
their invoice review.
Councilmember Anderson seconded the motion.

PROCLAMATION Council acknowledged a memo from
Administrative Assistant Batchelder informing
Council of an offer from the Mendota Heights
Garden Club to donate a tree for the Civic
Center site. Assistant Batchelder informed
Council that the Club would like to donate a
Red Splendor Crab Apple tree to be planted
along Victoria Curve, between the curb and the
parking lot. A dedication ceremony is planned
for 9:00 A.M. on Arbor Day, April 27th.
Mayor Mertensotto read a proposed proclamation
commending the Club.
Councilmember Blesener moved adoption of a
"Proclamation Acknowledging a Tree Donation by
the Mendota Heights Garden Club."
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4

PUBLIC COMMENTS Council acknowledged a memo from the Public
Works Director regarding complaints received
on the proposed construction of the trail
along Victoria Road and blacktopping of the
trail in Valley Park. Council also
acknowledged a copy of a letter from Mn/DOT to
Virgil McQuay with respect to relocating the
Victoria trail.
Mr. Virgil McQuay, 976 Kay Avenue, was present
to object to the proposed location of the
Victoria Road trail. He felt that the trail
should be along the south side of Victoria
from Lexington to Marie rather than the north
I
ide as proposed. He felt that a trail along
the south side would be safer and less costly
to construct. Mr. McQuay informed Council
that he met with a Mn/DOT representative who
informed him that if the City submits a
proposal for the location he proposes, Mn/DOT
will review it to see if it is feasible. He
asked the Council to direct City engineering
staff to meet with him and his neighbors and
prepare new plans to submit to Mn/DOT.
Councilmember Blesener suggested that
construction of the subject trail link could
Page No. 2781
April 17, 1990
be delayed until a response is received from
Mn/DOT but stated that there is a considerable
difference of opinion over safety. She
pointed out that locating the trail on the
other side takes the trail away from the link
to the school property and would present a
safety hazard for children crossing at an
uncontrolled intersection. She stated that
there were public discussions on the trail in
March, and at that time it did not seem
appropriate to change the location. She
further pointed out that the Park Commission
did not agree with Mr. McQuay's suggested
change at their public hearing.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. McQuay that he
may contact the engineering staff to get
whatever information he needs to determine
whether the current design is faulty. He
stated that he would like to give Mr. McQuay
every opportunity, but does not agree with a
request to direct staff to prepare another set
of plans and specifications contrary to what
has been approved.
Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto, Public Works Director Danielson
stated that to accommodate Mr. McQuay's
request for preparation of plans to submit to
Mn/DOT, would require at least two days of
staff time for surveying and preparing
drawings.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council has an
adopted procedure and Mr. McQuay is asking the
City to spend two days of engineering time for
redesign. He stated that he does not want to
.set such a precedent. He informed Mr. McQuay
that Council will not direct the engineering
staff to redesign an alternate.
After considerable discussion, Mayor
Mertensotto stated that Council will direct
the engineering department to be as
cooperative as possible in providing
information to Mr. McQuay, but will not direct
additional surveying.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Council that he has
received a call from Bernard Friel objecting
to the paving of the Valley Park Trail.
Councilmember Blesener stated that during the
Citizen's Park Committee discussions on the
Page No. 2782
April 17, 1990
matter, Mr. Friel wanted the trail to remain a
dirt trail, but that he was in the minority.
She stated that at that time the majority of
the committee supported blacktopping the
trail, and this position was recently
reaffirmed by the Park Commission. She
pointed out that the referendum information
informed voters that the trail would be
bituminous.
HEARING, CASE NO. Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the
89-34, M.I.S.T. purpose of a public hearing on an application
from Minnesota Indoor Soccer and Training,
Inc., for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
to allow participatory athletics as a
conditional use in the industrial districts
and an application for conditional use permit
for an indoor soccer arena proposed to be
constructed at the southeast corner of Mendota
Heights Road and Northland Drive. Council
acknowledged reports from Public Works
Director Danielson, Administrative Assistant
Batchelder and City Planner Howard Dahlgren
along with letters of support from St. Thomas
Academy, Mend -Eagan Athletic Association and
the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association.
Council also acknowledged a "Project
Narrative" submitted by MIST.
Mr. Jerry Haarman, representing MIST, and the
architect and contractor for the project were
present. Mr. Haarman reviewed the site plan
and architect's renditions of the proposed
facility, to be located at Mendota Heights
Road and Highway 55. He informed Council that
the proposed 55,000 square foot industrial
building will consist of two wings containing
playing surfaces, and will be joined by a
central glass block entrance core. Access
will be from Northland Drive. The building
will be finished on all sides with decorative
grey block with a forest green border on the
top. The intent for the facility is
participative sports, not spectator sport.
Mr. Haarman stated that he feels this will be
the premium soccer facility in the United
States. Council was informed that MIST
currently has a very successful facility in
' Maplewood.
Mayor Mertensotto asked whether part of the
overall design is to have a retail activity on
the site. He informed the applicants that he
would have no objection to sales as long as it
Page No. 2783
April 17, 1990
is strictly supportive of the activity in the
building, an activity similar to a pro shop at
a golf club facility.
Mr. Haarman responded that the structure is
really an industrial building and not retail
space, and that the only sales would be
related to the athletics being conducted in
the facility.
Councilmember Blesener felt that there should
be outlet drives at the remote ends of the
parking lot and that perhaps some of the
parking stalls could be eliminated so that the
sidewalk could be extended for better

excess black dirt from the site will be made
available to the City.
Councilmember Blesener felt that a time limit
should be placed on the permit.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and

SIBLEY PARK SITE Council acknowledged and discussed a memo
COMFORT STATION from Public Works Director Danielson
recommending that Kodet Architects be
appointed as the architects for design of the
park shelter to be constructed at the Sibley
Park site.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern over the
liability provisions in Section 12.2 of the
proposed architectural service agreement.
City Attorney Hart responded that the proposed
language is frequently requested but not
frequently granted. He felt that it is not
unfair to ask the architects to be responsible
for their work and agreed that the language
should be changed.
Mayor Mertensotto also felt that there should
be strong language in the agreement so that
the architect understands that they agree to
designing a building in the $50,000 range for
a minimum fee of $5,000. He was concerned
that the way the agreement is written, if the
design resulted a cost exceeding a $50,000
building cost, the City would have to pick up
added architectural costs for any changes
needed to reduce the building cost.
Councilmember Anderson suggested that the
agreement should stipulate a building cost no
greater than $50,000
After discussion, Councilmember Blesener moved
to authorize Mayor Mertensotto to execute an
agreement with Kodet Architects for design of
the Sibley Park comfort station, as amended to
delete the proposed Section 12.2 and to add a
new Section 12.2 to obligate the architectural
firm to design a building within the $50,000
budget.
Councilmember Anderson seconded the motion.

SIBLEY PARK PLANS Council acknowledged and discussed preliminary
plans and preliminary cost estimates, prepared
by Barton-Aschman Associates, for the Parks
Commission's preferred alternative (F) sketch

plan for the Sibley Park, along with staff
memos and a project timeline.
Councilmember Blesener moved to authorize
Barton-Aschman to prepare formal plans and
specifications for Sibley Park based on the
preferred sketch plan alternative F.
Councilmember Anderson seconded the motion.

VICTORIA TOWNHOMES Council acknowledged a memo from
Administrative Assistant Batchelder regarding
a request from J.A. Development for a proposed
change in the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions for the Victoria
Townhomes P.U.D. to allow four season porch
additions to the townhomes. Council also
acknowledged a letter of intent from the
developer and a consent letter signed by the
members of the homeowners association.
Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto, a representative of J.A.
Development stated that the homeowners
association is responsible for maintenance of
the structures.
Councilmember Blesener moved approval of the
requested amendment to the Victoria Townhomes
final PUD plan, Acknowledging Amendment to the
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5

FURLONG UPDATE Council acknowledged a report from
Administrator Lawell regarding staff's
investigation into issues raised at the last
Council discussion on the Furlong
neighborhood.
Mayor Mertensotto introduced Mark Ryan, MAC
Airport Planner, and asked that Mr. Ryan
review overall MAC planning with regard to
sound abatement and buyout funding
availability.
Mr. Ryan responded that there have been
several recent newspaper articles regarding
Part 150. He stated that MAC has been trying
to address the issue of air noise since 1984
and has conducted a Part 150 study through the
Page No. 2787
April 17, 1990
MASAC. He informed the Council and audience
that yesterday the MAC received a letter from
the FAA which spells out several of the
programs available under Part 150, basically
responding to 23 points included in the MAC
noise compatibility program. Included in the
program were items related to specific
operating procedures to reduce noise, and nine
land use measures (including noise
insulation). Of the land use elements of the
Part 150 program, four items dealt with
specific land use issues, including buyout, as
a last resort. The program also sets
guidelines for federal participation in sound
attenuation and a purchase assurance program.
He stated that MAC hopes to implement the Part
150 program over the next couple of months.
The plan included $60 to $70 million of work
that could be accomplished over the next 15 to
20 years. Certain areas around the airport
will be eligible for participation in federal
projects - this is not a blanket approval, but
certain areas will be eligible to apply for
funding assistance. The MAC will be working
for the next several months to specifically
design a program for implementation and decide
on priorities. During the process, MAC will
be working with all communities which surround
the airport and will involve the City staff in
the process. He informed Council that the FAA
very specifically disapproved any measures
which put a constraint on operations.
Councilmember Anderson stated that he had seen
a recent program which elaborated on purchase
assurance, and that what is envisioned at this
time is that where air noise is detrimental,
money would be used to purchase a property,
insulate the structure and re -sell it.
Mr. Ryan responded that his understanding is
that homes would be acquired, retrofitted, and
returned to the market and that purchase
assurance is strictly related to aircraft
noise. He further stated that MAC is very
concerned about the Furlong Addition and will
work closely with City staff.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what can be foreseen
in terms of availability of federal money for
buyouts or insulation for the Furlong area.
He also asked what the priority of the Furlong
area is in respect to the 23 points and where
Mendota Heights stands in terms of priority.
Page No. 2788
April 17, 1990
Mr. Ryan responded that the earliest any
funding would be available for anything is a
year from now.
Mayor Mertensotto asked whether there is
anything the Council should be doing so that
when funds become available, Mendota Heights
will have equal status with other cities. Mr.
Ryan responded that MAC has been working with
the City staff in developing the Part 150
study and will continue to do so.
Councilmember Blesener asked what it would
take for the Furlong area to be moved to the
top of the priority list. Mr. Ryan responded
that Mendota Heights is a major arrival and
departure corridor, and a high priority area.
At the same time, the Part 150 lays out noise
contours, which will establish the maximum
extent of any federal participation. The
Furlong area is right on the edge of the
contour, and is included within the eligible
area. The federal program deals with two
contours, LDN 75 and 65, and that the program
is focusing on corrective measures within LDN
75. At the same time, MAC recognizes the need
to protect the 29L and 29R corridor.
Responding to a question from Councilmember
Blesener, Mr. Ryan stated that a commitment on
how funding will be applied will be made by
the end of this year, but that there is no
guarantee that the funding will be made
available, since the FAA has control.
Councilmember Anderson stated that he
understands that what was submitted to MAC was
a 23 point noise reduction program. He asked
whether there is any buyout program and
whether Council can anticipate buyout or
whether it should expect purchase assurance
and insulation.
Mr. Ryan stated that some type of a buyout
arrangement is what MAC Executive Director
Hamiel anticipates, but he further stated that
it is his understanding that there are other
Furlong area problems other than air noise.
Councilmember Cummins asked whether it is fair
to assume that the highest priority will be
given to those homes within LDN 75.
Mr. Ryan responded that the assumption is
correct right now on a major scale, but a
Page No. 2789
April 17, 1990
great deal will depend on the implementation
MAC will be working on.
Councilmember Cummins also asked what is
reasonable to expect - it seems logical to
assume that the priority will be given to
those homes closest to the airport and the
Furlong Addition will not be first on the list
and more likely it would be 3 or 4 years
before money is available. Mr. Ryan responded
that past history would support this
conclusion.
Councilmember Blesener asked whether any other
communities have specifically requested money
for a buyout. Mr. Ryan stated that several
have, but have been told there is no list and
no application form.
Mr. Thomas Swenson, 1294 Kendon Lane, asked
whether MAC and the City can work together
(Part 150 funding and TIF funding) to make
buying out the neighborhood a reality.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that from what Mr.
Ryan has stated, there may be funding
available in 1991 to implement a buyout
program.
Mr. David Hiner, 1312 Furlong, stated that
there was a neighborhood petition to MAC in
1972 for a buyout. He stated that since MAC
bought out 55 homes in the Acacia area it has
.made it very costly to bring utilities into
the Furlong area.
In response to a question from Treasurer
Shaughnessy, Mr. Ryan stated that about $3.8
million would be available per year to fund
all of the Part 150 activities.
With"respect to neighborhood buyout,
Councilmember Anderson pointed out that the
properties have problems other than air noise,
and he did not feel Council should create an
expectation that MAC will buy properties if
they are unsaleable for other reasons.
Council discussed the five issues addressed in
Administrator Lawell's report: status of TIF
funds; an analysis of benefit, prepared by
Davis & Lagerman, Inc., with respect to
utility and road improvements; "common" on-
site utility systems; limited well testing
Page No. 2790
April 17, 1990
options; and a review of uniform rate septic
system pumping information.
With respect to tax increment financing,
Administrator Lawell stated that a lump sum
buyout of the neighborhood by the City would
not be legal.
Councilmember Anderson informed the audience
that after reviewing the appraisal
information, he felt that Council should
direct staff not to spend further time on the
extension of public utilities to the area or
on the common utility system.
Mr. Jim Schwartz, 1286 Kendon Lane, stated
that he has paid a water availability charge
and asked whether it would be refunded.
Mr. Robert Tousignant asked what the City's
plans are for the two properties it has
purchased in the neighborhood, and how the
properties will be maintained.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the matter will
be discussed in a workshop.
Responding to a member of the audience asking
for the status of the Mendota Heights Motel
pumping issue, Administrator Lawell stated
that the owner has been ordered by the State
to make corrections to his system, but had
received a continuance to this evening so that
he could hear the discussions. He stated that
the owner is not present and that staff will
contact the Health Department to*advise them
that the owner was not present and that there
is no reason not to continue the repair order.
Mayor Mertensotto asked the City Attorney what
the City's responsibility is with respect to
the sewer and water problems in the
neighborhood. Attorney Hart responded that to
the extent that the City is aware of a health
safety hazard, the City is not required to
abate the problem at City cost, but is
required to have whoever caused the problem
abate it.
Mrs. Swenson asked why the neighborhood is not
getting sewer and water, and why Council can't
make a decision to install public utilities.
Page No. 2791
April 17, 1990
Mayor Mertensotto responded that no one on
Council feels that $25,000 would be an
economic expenditure to the homeowners, and
pointed out that most of the neighborhood have
said they want no part of utilities.
Councilmember Anderson stated that there is
tremendous neighborhood opposition to public
utilities, and the project could be subject to
many challenges.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that
if 35% of the affected property owners
'tinned for improvements it would take a
2/3 ote of the Council to order the project.
out a petition, a 4/5 vote would be
required.
He also felt that given all of the publicity
on the sewer and water problems in the area on
television and in the newspapers, the homes
are probably unmarketable now. He felt that
the extension of public sewer and water is the
only way to make the properties marketable.
Councilmember Anderson stated that he does not
feel the City should pursue public utility
extension any longer because of the potential
court challenges and value challenges. He
pointed out that many of the residents have
said they don't want utilities, and Council
has tried everything imaginable to come up
with a solution without success.
Mr. Guyer suggested that the City purchased
two homes and there are three that are
currently in worse condition than those. He
asked why the Council doesn't start a buyout
program.
Mr. Tousignant asked for a proposal from City
staff so that the residents would actually
know what sewer and water would cost for each
resident. Perhaps the utilities would be
palatable to the residents if all costs were
known.
Councilmember Blesener responded that the cost
would be $20,000 to $25,000 per home and would
only go down if the City contributes TIF
money.
Councilmember Anderson stated that the
question is the degree of unanimity, that
there are some properties which will not
Page No. 2792
April 17, 1990
benefit, and there are extraordinarily
variable figures.
Councilmember Blesener felt that the only
solution to the problems is for the City to
find a legal way to institute a buyout
program.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that perhaps
Council can pursue special legislation to
allow condemnation. He stated that all other
avenues for resolving the problems have been
explored and there is nothing more that
Council can do at this time.
RECESS Mayor Mertensotto called a recess at 10:53
P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 11:10 P.M.
COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Cummins stated that he opposes
blacktopping of the Valley Park Trail as
opposed to using gravel. He felt that gravel
is more appropriate for the rustic nature of
the park and that blacktop would encourage
roller blading, skateboarding and biking,
which could present safety hazards for
walkers.
Administrative Assistant Batchelder gave a
brief summary of Park and Recreation
Commission and Citizen Park Committee
discussions on the matter. He informed
Council that at the final Citizens Committee
discussion, it was the consensus that since
the Valley Park trail section is the spine of
the trail system, it should be paved. The
Park Commission, at its last meeting,
recommended bituminous surfacing on a five to
two vote.
Public Works Director Danielson stated that
the trail is not just part of the City system,
but part of the County system as well. He
further stated that he has received a call
from a Crown Point resident indicating that
the neighborhood would like a way to walk and
take strollers from their neighborhood to the
park and shopping areas: because of the
slopes, bituminous is more desirable. He also
stated that bituminous is easily maintained,
but that gravel is subject to washouts, etc.,
and requires much more maintenance.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
APRIL 11, 1990
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and
Recreation Commission was held on Wednesday, April 11, 1990
in the City Hall Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. Vice
Chair Katz called the meeting to order at 7:05 o'clock P.M.
The following members were present: Damberg, Hunter,
Lundeen, Katz, Kleinglass and Spicer. Councilmember Blesener
was present. Staff members present were City Administrator
Tom Lawell, Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander and
Administrative Assistant Kevin Batchelder.
APPROVAL OF After some minor corrections, Commission
MINUTES Damberg moved approval of the March 13th Parks
and Recreation Commission minutes.
Commissioner Kleinglass seconded the motion.
AYES: 6
NAYS: 0
TRAIL SIGN Mike Dorsey and Doc Johnson of Earl Anderson
PRESENTATION and Associates, Inc., presented options for a
trail sign system for the new
bicycle/pedestrian trails. Mr. Dorsey stated
that signage systems for bike trails are a
relatively new product with not many role
models to follow. He stated that White Bear
Lake and Minnetonka are in the process of
signing their trail systems.
Doc Johnson previewed the types of signs
available and the materials to chose from. He
stated that there are basically three types of
signs that you need in your trail system. 1)
A regulatory/warning sign, 2) A trail
informational sign, 3) An area map. He also
stated that you want the City's design or logo
on the sign. Mr. Johnson described the tic-
tac-toe sign approach that allows updating of
the sign without replacing the whole sign. He
stated it was approximately $800 for a sign
with all of the graphics work done for a
cabinet sign that would use this tic-tac-toe
approach. He stated tubular post signs are
appropriate for regulatory and warning
type signs.
Doc Johnson described the costs for the City
April 11, 1990
Page 2
of Minnetonka's trail signing. Guy Kullander
stated that Minnetonka was estimating their
costs for their trail sign system at $90,000
for 30 miles of trails done over the course of
five years. Kullander stated that Mendota
Heivhts will have approximately 25 miles of
trails once all planned trails are completed,
which will take five to seven years. Signage,
costs were not included in the referendum
trails budget. He stated that money for trail
signs would have to come out of either the
regular park fund or from contingency amounts
in the trails or neighborhood park development
budgets.
Mike Dorsey stated that a post and paneled
sign is more flexible in replacing a channeled
post type sign. He also stated that art work
is a big expense up front. Mr. Dorsey stated
that shelters can be used for signs mounted on
the walls in the tic-tac-toe fashion as
described by Mr. Johnson. He stated this tic-
tac-toe design is flexible and a cost savings
for a City when updates are necessary.
Commissioner Kleinglass inquired about marking
the signs for distance so that you know how
far you have gone or how far you need to go.
He stated that he felt the distance between
segments should be marked in some manner. Guy
Kullander stated that these distance markings
could be sprayed painted on the asphalt.
Commissioner Hunter stated that he has seen
trail systems that have a wood post in the
ground about approximately two feet (21) off
the ground with the mileage marked on the top
of the post. Commissioner Spicer stated
another approach could be to stencil in a logo
mark every quarter mile on the trails.
Commissioner Hunter stated he felt it was
important to map the park area at each park
with a smaller map of the whole system.
SCHEDULING Joanne Birnbaum of the Mendota Heights Garden
TREE DONATION Club stated that she wants to donate a tree to
the City to recognize their parks efforts and
in honor of Arbor Day. She stated that she
felt it should be either in a newer park,
along the hiking trail or near City Hall. Ms.
Birnbaum stated that it was the Mendota
Heights Garden Club intentions to donate a Red
April 11, 1990
Page 3
Splendor Crab Apple tree. She stated this is
a pretty tree when it flowers in the spring
and it provides fruit for the birds and
animals in the fall and winter.
Commissioner Spicer stated he felt the City
should provide a plaque to recognize the
dedication. The Commission discussed the
scheduling of the dedication ceremony and
decided that Arbor Day was.the appropriate day
to have a dedication. They discussed City
Hall's landscape plan and the plaque to go
along with the dedication.
Commissioner Spicer moved that the Parks and
Recreation Commission accept the generous
offer of the Mendota Heights Garden Club to
donate a Red Splendor Crab Apple tree on
Arbor Day. He also included in his motion a
direction for staff to work with the Mendota
Heights Garden Club in siting an appropriate
location for the donated tree in front of the
City Hall building and for the City to provide
a plaque to honor the dedication.
Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion.
AYES: 6
NAYS: 0
The Commission also -directed staff that a news
release would be appropriate announcing the
dedication and stating that the intent is to
create a community effort for the Garden Club.
SIBLEY SKETCH Barry Warner of Barton-Aschman stated that he
PLANS has met with staff and officials from the
Independent School District No. 197 to discuss
the preferred alternatives of site plans for
Sibley Park. Mr. Warner stated that the site
has several constraints. 1) Delaware and
Marie Avenue have to meet the grade of the
park. 2) There will be bicycle trails
running along the north edge and the east edge
of Sibley Park. 3) The park will have to tap
into utilities such as sanitary sewer, water,
electricity and storm sewer. 4) The grading
of the site has constraints.
Mr. Warner described the fields that would be
built at Sibley Park. He stated that there
would be two softball fields, one with a 280
April 11, 1990
Page 4
foot fence and one with a 300 foot fence, one
baseball field which will be 380 in center
field and a comfort station. He mentioned
that there would be fencing along the western
and southern edge of the soccer field. Mr.
Warner stated that Alternative F was the
preferred sketch plan because it has an open
middle area where the play structure can be
located, bleachers for the baseball field
would be away from the intersection and that
there is room there for the batting cage. He
quickly discussed Alternative G with the Parks
Commission. Mr. Warner stated that
Alternative F was the recommended alternative.
He stated that the entire baseball field would
be fenced, that it would be 50 feet from home
plate to the backstop, that there would be
space for a batting cage and accommodations
for dugouts. He stated that there would�be
seating for 400 on portable bleachers. He
stated that the softball fields would also be
fenced. He stated that the soccer field would
be 330 feet by 195 feet and be fenced on the
western and southern edges. He stated there
would be a trail linking the track and comfort
station to the baseball complex and the
parking area. He stated that there could be a
trail on the south running east to west which
would most likely be put on the roadway. He
stated that the City would be displacing the
discus area and that it would be relocated
west of the track. He stated this plan has no
retaining walls and that the play structure
was not sited because he wanted to speak to
the Parks Commission about the proper siting
of that.
Councilmember Blesener added that in 40 years
we can site the parking in the northeast
corner for the baseball field. Mr. Warner
stated that concerning the play structure
siting the question was accessibility to the
activity center of Sibley Park versus the
accessibility to the high school.
A discussion as to the advisability of putting
play equipment in close proximity to high
school students ensued. It was finally
determined that some play equipment would be
installed as was promised in the referendum
information. It was suggested that the
AYES: 6
NAYS: 0
April 11, 1990
Page 5
equipment be as sturdy and durable as
possible.
Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that if
the Parks and Recreation Commission approves
this plan then the City Council will see the
sketch plan for input. Barton-Aschman will
then draw the final plans which would be
approved by the Parks and Recreation
Commission at their May 8th meeting and
forward to Council for approval and advertise
for bids on the 15th. Mr. Warner stated that
a preliminary cost estimate for the site was
$295,570 with a 10 percent contingency
included in that figure. He stated that this
figure does not contain the estimates for the
comfort station. Kullander stated that
$373,000 had been budgeted for the facility
improvements which includes trails, amenities
and play structure in Sibley Park.
Councilmember Blesener discussed the need of a
trail along the south edge of the park and
having permanent bituminous pads on which to
put the portable bleachers. Mr. Warner
responded that he would take a look at this in
the sketch plan.
Commissioner Spicer moved that Alternative F
be the preferred plan and to recommend that
City Council should authorize Barton-Aschman
to proceed with plans and specifications for
the Sibley Park Athletic Complex based upon
Alternative F.
Commissioner Lundeen seconded the motion.
The Commissioners discussed the siting of the
play equipment. Consensus was that the
appropriate place for the play equipment was
in the northeast area of the center by the
outfield of the northeast softball field.
Parks Project Manager Kullander discussed the
comfort station building that Kodet
Architecture was going to be designing. The
Parks Commission provided direction on what to
include in the comfort station. This included
instructions on the facilities in the mens and
womens restroom areas, concessions, storage,
April 11, 1990
Page 6
control room and sprinkler and mechanical
items, shelving space for Mend -Eagan storage,
drinking fountain, pay phone hook-up, security
lighting, roof extension and concrete pad for
picnic area.
VERBAL UPDATES Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that
Barton-Aschman's design and consulting fees
were on budget and had billed the City
approximately $19,000 as of March 23rd.
Kullander explained that Kodet would have a
$5,000 fee for a building up to $50,000 and 10
percent over that. He also stated that there
could be cost savings on the design of future
comfort stations if they were based upon the
design of the first comfort station.
Kullander stated that the County trails would
only allow widened shoulders for the section
along Delaware Avenue. Kullander stated that
the neighborhood park cost estimates were over
budvet and that the trail system cost
estimates were under budget and that when the
bids came in, in all likelihood, these two
items would balance each other.
Kullander reported on the Marie Avenue Trail
and the cost of putting the trail on the
south side and the safety factor review that
he had had with MnDOT officials.
Parks Project Manager Kullander explained the
situation concerning the bituminous trail in
Valley Park. He stated that during the
Citizen's Park Review Committee's
consideration of this item that at various
meetings that it had gone back and forth
between whether this would be a paved trail or
a dirt trail. He stated that final conclusion
of the Citizen's Park Review Committee was
inconclusive and that as best as he could make
out from the minutes and from what had been
advertised in the brochure that this portion
of trail was designated as bituminous trail.
He stated that originally Chairperson Huber
had wanted this to be a natural trail and
remain unpaved but could recall a meeting at
which he lost on this issue. Kullander stated
that the cost for this portion of the trail
system will not adversely impact the total
amounts budgeted for trail improvements.
April 11, 1990

Commissioner Spicer moved that the Park
Commission formally acknowledge that the trail
through Valley Park is a bituminous paved
trail.
Commissioner Lundeen seconded the motion.
AYES: 5
NAYS: 1, Damberg

SHOP holding a budget workshop on April 25th at

referendum items. Commissioners Kleinglass

WALKING TRAILS horses should be allowed on the
bicycle/pedestrian trail. Commissioner- Hunter
seconded the motion.

MEMORANDUM
April 24, 1990
TO: Mayor and City 91uncil
City Admini.
FROM: Chief of Police
On April 21, the Mendota VFW again treated the Police and Fire
Departments to an appreciation banquet. As well as complimenting and
thanking the Departments for a job well done, the Club made significant
contributions of money to the police Officers ($7,500) and the D.A.R.E.
program ($5,000). This is in addition to the $2,500. the club has
already given the D.A.R.E. program.
I am requesting permission to accept this very generous donation on
behalf of the City. The D.A.R.E. funds will be used to reimburse the
Departments devastated overtime budget and the Police Officers will.
determine the appropriate use of their money. I will strongly recommend.
the purchase of new body armor.
This is the seventh straight year that the VFW has expressed their
appreciation in such a tangible way. For some reason it -appears that
the very difficult job that we do is taken for granted by the
overwhelming majority of the people we serve. Positive reinforcement of
this sort is so very much appreciated by the staff and members of the
Police Department.
Mendota Heights Police Department
MEMORANDUM
April 24, 1990
TO: Mayor andCity ouncil
City Admin
FROM: Police Chief IM1
We had fully intended to have a new police officer appointed by April 1,
1990, but we have obviously not met that goal. We requested and
received 19 applications from the Minnesota Police Recruitment Service
early in the year. After a close review by me and the department
supervisors, we found that there was an insufficient number of
candidates that met our standards. I discussed the problem with the
Director of MPRS and he said that the problem may have been due to the
fact that our request was received at the end of their testing cycle and
the candidates that we reviewed had been on their "list" for quite some
time.
Last week we received a new list of 22 candidates from the most current
list. After review, we feel that we have enough viable people to work
with and we are again moving forward with our process. If all goes
smoothly, we should be back to Council for approval of anew employee in
early June.
This memorandum is for information only and does not require Council
action.

Alber Construction, Inc.
Ace Blacktop, Inc.
$201,748.50
$226,327.00
$263,365.00
The low bidder GMH Asphalt, Inc. is a company that has completed
work within the City before and has done an acceptable job. They were
the contractor on the backbone trail, along Lexington Avenue and
Rogers Lake Park. Their low bid of $201,748.50 is $59,622 below the
engineering estimate (see attached Park and Recreation memo).
The proposed referendum funding for the neighborhood park im-
provements are as follows:
Total Neighborhood Park Budget $447,658
Future Work - 72,628
Play Structure Contract - 122,500
Architectural Design &
Engineering & Overhead - 81,062
TOTAL $171,468.00
This Contract 201,748.50
Shortfall $ (30,;280.50)
This shortfall was anticipated and was planned to be budgeted for
out of contingency trail funds.
RECOMMENDATION•
Park and Recreation Commission recommends that the Neighborhood
Park Improvement project be awarded to GMH Asphalt, Inc. for their low
bid of $201,748.50 with funding to be covered by Park Bond Referendum
money, $171,468 out of the Neighborhood Park Budget and $30,280.50
transferred from Trail contingency fund.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council wishes to implement the recommendation they should
pass a motion awarding the Neighborhood Park Improvement bid to GMH
Asphalt, Inc. for their low bid of $201,748.50.

FROM: Guy Kullander
SUBJECT: Good News
RE: Neighborhood Park Improvement Project Bids
At 10:00 A.M. this morning City Staff received and
opened bids for the Mendota Heights Neighborhood Park
Improvements, Job No. 8920D, Improvement No. 89, Project 6D.
The low bid of $201,748.50 submitted by G.M.H. Asphalt
Corporation, is $59,622 below our staff engineering estimate.
The estimated costs, including overhead and contingen-
cies, for the neighborhood park improvement contract, the
seven play structure contract and the future planned park
improvements came to $552,466. This amount was $104,808
over the $447,658 budgeted in the referendum. With this low
bid the estimated overage is now only $30,280.
Because additional trails were added in the neighborhood
parks it was the commission's intention to cover the extra
costs with contingency funds•from the trails budget. Staff
had estimated this amount to be approximately $41,000.
Based on this "transfer" of budget, the cost of the
planned neighborhood park improvements are under budget by
approximately $10,000.

SUBJECT: Case No. 89-25: Dodge Nature Center
CUP for PUD
Continued Hearing
DISCUSSION
The Dodge Nature Center was before the City Council on
February 6, 1990 to explain their proposal for a new visitor
center. Council continued that public hearing to allow the
Nature Center time to meet with MnDOT to try and resolve an
access problem with the site. The Nature Center has met with
MnDOT and MnDOT has now agreed to allow them an access on
Trunk Highway 110.
The Nature Center is now anxious to receive approval.of
their plan so that they can proceed with construction as
early as possible. They are very optimistic about getting
under construction yet this year.
The Planning Commission voted 5-1 (Anderson- objection
to access restriction) to recommend approval of a conditional
use permit for a planned unit development to allow the Dodge
Nature Center to construct an interpretive center -subject to
conditions that the access for the site not come from Dodge
Lane and incorporation of Planner Dahlgren's suggestions.
ACTION REQUIRED
Conduct the public hearing scheduled for 8:00 P.M. to
consider a request from Dodge Nature Center for a Conditional
Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development, if Council desires
to implement the Planning Commission's recommendation they
should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 90-

SUBJECT: Case.No. 90-11: Loving - Side Yard Setback
Variance
DISCUSSION
Mr. James Loving, 672 Cheyenne Lane, appeared before the
Planning Commission at their April meeting to request a side
yard setback variance. This request was to allow
construction of a four season porch.- (See attached.staff
memos).
The Planning Commission expressed a concern that the
projection of the proposed porch might affect the neighbor to
the south. Mr. Loving demonstrated that he had obtained the
neighbors signature of consent. (2283 Nashua Lane)
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that'.
City Council approve an eight foot (81) side yard setback
variance to the thirty foot (301) side yard setback
maintained as a condition to a previous variance (Case No.
87-16) .
ACTION REQUIRED
Meet with the applicant, and if the Council desires to
implement the Planning Commission's recommendation, pass a
motion to grant an eight foot (81) side yard setback variance
to the current thirty foot (301) side yard setback,.

SUBJECT: Case No. 90-11: Loving - Side Yard Setback
variance
DISCUSSION
Mr. and Mrs. James Loving, 672 Cheyenne Lane, propose
to construct a four season porch within their side yard area.
(See attached application). The normal side yard setback is
ten feet (101) and Mr. Loving's proposal would normally not
require a variance. However, in 1987, Mr. Loving was granted
approval for a rear yard setback variance subject to him
maintaining a thirty foot (301) side yard setback. (See
attached 1987 letter and memo).
Mr. Loving has obtained signatures of consent from his
neighbors.
ACTION REQUIRED
Meet with the applicant. Make a recommendation to the
City Council on modifying the previously established
condition to maintain a thirty foot (301) side yard by
allowing the four season porch to project eight feet (81)
into it.

PLANNING REPORT
DATE:
24 April 1990
CASE NUMBER:
90-11
APPLICANT:
James Loving
LOCATION:
Southwesterly Corner
of
Cheyenne Lane and Nashua
Lane (see sketch)
ACTION REQUESTED:
Variance to Side
Yard
Setback
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. A residence was recently built on this property by the owners
conforming to the front yard setbacks
on both Cheyenne Lane
and
Nashua Lane. These owners received a
variance, however, to
build
within 10 feet of the westerly lot line.
The westerly 30 feet of
this
lot is in fact the rear yard because the
easterly frontage (on Nashua
Lane) is legally the front. This variance was approved with
the
condition that the setback on the side yard (the south property
line)
would be maintained at 30 feet. Thus,
the side yard was substituted
for the rear yard. This was done with
the neighbors knowledge
and
consent.
2. The applicants now propose to add a 12' x 12', four -season porch on the
south side of the structure. This will project about 8 feet into a
portion of the 30 -foot setback that was established for the side yard as
a condition to the variance on the west side (where it is 10 feet rather
than the required 30 feet).
3. It would appear that this intrusion into the 30 -foot setback will be
minor. Attached - is a copy of a statement from John and Pat
Krezowski of 2283 Nashua Lane indicating their approval for this
addition to the Loving residence.
4. The application is a request for a variance to the condition that was
attached to the previous variance proposal. The distance proposed (as
indicated on the attached site plan) is that the southeasterly corner of
the proposed porch would be 22 feet from the property rather than the
required 30 feet. Thus, the variance is for a total of 8 feet.

To: Members of the Planning Commission

From: Jim and Charlotte Loving
Gentlemen:
When my wife and I built out home at 672 Cheyenne in
1987, we hopedto eventually build a four -season porch
and deck at the rear of the dwelling.
Our pian now is to have Carl Thompson, president of
Liberty Construction and the contractor on the original
project, construct a 12x12 room with a cedar interior
and Andersen windows. The room will be built of the
same material as the original house.
A deck will also be built next to the room. Access
to the room will be through French doors from the house
or through a sliding door off the deck.
As my son is nearly six years old, we believe the room
will provide privacy for my wife and me. We further
believe that the combination deck -room area will be a
nice place to entertain guests.
We have discussed our plans with our immediate neighbors,
and they seem to feel, as we, that the addition will
improve our property value and be an addition consistent
with other homes in the area.
Thank you for your attention to this mattter.
Cordially,
Jim 1- 'ng

TO: Mayor, City Council and City. ator
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Loving - Variance
Case No. 87-16
nTgrllRSTnN
Mr. James Loving and his builder met with the City Planner the day
before the June Planning Commission meeting to discuss a rear yard setback
variance. Mr. Loving has recently moved to the Twin Cities area and needs
to have his home completed rapidly in order to have a place to live. He
plans to build a home on a lot that he has purchased in Delaware Crossing.
That lot is a corner lot, and for corner lots the legal frontage is the
narrowest side abutting a street, the rear yard is the side opposite. In
Mr. Loving's case, as has been the problem several times in the recent past,
the functional or logical backyard is the side opposite the longest side.
Because of the shape of his home Mr. Loving needs to construct his home
fronting on the longest side causing him to be in violation of the City's
rear yard setback.
Because time is of the essence for Mr. Loving to move into his home, he
contacted the Planning Commission Chairman to arrange to set a special
meeting to consider the matter. Chairman Morison saw no difficulties with.
the request so he invited Mr. Loving to quickly make an application on,
Tuesday, the day of the Planning Commission meeting and be considered,-as.a
handout item on that night's agenda.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission feels that corner lots such as these pose a
hardship for homebuilders and that perhaps the City's Ordinance should be
amended to provide flexibility in corner lots for selecting the appropriate
rear yard. They voted unanimously to recommend approval of a 20' rear yard
setback variance for 672 Cheyenne Lane, subject to the applicant providing a
30 foot minimum setback from the "longside" side yard.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to implement the Planning Commission recommendation
they should pass a motion approving a 20' rear yard setback variance for 672
Cheyenne Lane subject to the applicant providing a 30 foot minimum setback
from the side yard.

SUBJECT: Case No. 90-12: J.A. Development - Wetlands Permit
DISCUSSION
Mr. John Mathern of J.A. Development, is proposing to
construct a house on Lot 6, and 1/2 of Lot 5, Block 1,
Tilsen's Highland Heights Addition. This lot, which was
subdivided last year, and several of the adjoining lots are
totally within the Wetlands District (see attached map).
This request is to allow construction of a home within a
Wetlands District boundary. Section 8c of the Wetlands
Ordinance allows the Planning Commission to exempt the
subdivider from complying with any inappropriate requirements
of this ordinance in the case of a single family development.
It has been the City's policy in the past to waive the public.
hearing requirement for development of a single residence..
ACTION REQUIRED
Consider waiving the public hearing, and make a
recommendation to the City Council on the Wetlands Permit
request.

SUBJECT: Case No. 90-12: J.A. Development - Wetlands Permit
DISCUSSION
Mr. Bob Brasch, representing J.A. Development, appeared
before the Planning Commission at their April meeting to
request a Wetlands Permit to allow construction of a new home
on Lot 6, and 1/2 of Lot 5, Block 1, Tilsen's Highland
Heights Addition. This lot is entirely within the Wetlands
District as a result of its poor soil and high water table
(see staff memos).
The Planning Commission discussed the soil correction
measures with the applicant. The applicant indicated the"
poor soils (peat) would be excavated and removed and replaced
by a sandy clay with drainage away from the compacted soils.
Also at the meeting, Commissioner Tilsen asked if this
development would cause a drainage problem in the area.
After the meeting, staff completed another"on site inspection
to confirm that there would be no problems (see attached map
for situation). Staff continues to feel that this
construction will not have a drainage problem.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission unanimously waived the
requirement for a public hearing. The Planning Commission
recommended that City Council approve the Wetlands Permit to
allow construction of a new home at Lot 6, and 1/2 of Lot 5,
Block 1, Tilsen's Highland Heights Addition.

Southwesterly Corner of
Douglas Road and Douglas
Court (see sketch)
Approval of Wetlands Permit
1. This property is Lot 6 and half of Lot 5 of Block 1 of Tilsens Highland
Heights Plat that was developed over 30 years ago. This lot and some
of the lots in the immediate area are on an area of very poor soil and
were not developed for an extended period of time. You will recall
this lot since within the last year, half of Lot 5 (west of Lot 6) was
added to Lot 6. The remainder of Lot 5 was added to the other
contiguous lot to the south. The owners of these two lots (contiguous
to Lot 5) owned the lot together and ultimately decided to divide in
the form of two triangles. . You will note this triangular portion of Lot
5 in a survey submitted by the applicant indicating the total lot (Lot 6
and half of Lot 5). On this same drawing, they have indicated the
location for a new house to be constructed on Lot 6.
2. Also attached is a
copy of
the wetlands map showing
the subject
property. You will
notice that
most of the proposed
site
is within an
area designated as
a wetlands
in the initial survey
done
back in the
early 19701s. This
designation
is here since this is
an area of . poor
soils and a high water
table.
Sometime in the past,
this
property and
others in the area
have been
filled. As a result,
soil tests
indicate
that there is gravel
fill varying
from 1 to 7 feet in
depth
in the area
where the house is
to be built.
Under that gravel is
a layer of peat 7
to 19 feet deep. Below 19 feet there is sandy soil.
The
water table
is at 9 feet.
3. With the lot having been filled, it is developable at this point, though
expensive. Mr. John Mathern, J.A. Development Company, informs us
that they intend to dig down to the good soil to construct footings for
the foundation of the single-family home proposed for this site. Due to
the demand for lots in Mendota Heights, it is worthwhile to construct
foundations utilizing such an expensive technique.
4. In some cases,
where such poor soils and high water tables are
designated as a
wetland, it may be appropriate to retain the wetlands
system. If such
an area is large enough, it may be retained for public
purpose such as
a park. In fact, Mendota Heights' first park is such an
area where the
PUD approved for the Ivy Falls Townhouses provided 7
acres of land where soil and water table conditions made the land
difficult and expensive to develop. In this case, however, it appears
that the total area of land involved is relatively small and has already
been platted for
development. It was thus a question of time before
the land was of
such a value that an expensive foundation makes the
development of the property economically viable. Thus, it would appear
that a Wetlands
Permit would be appropriate allowing the property to
be developed for
a new single-family residence in Mendota Heights.

Dear Kevin,
1906 Livingston Avenue (612) 455-5511
West St. Paul, MN 55118 1 (612) 455-8295
We are requesting a wetlands approval to correct the soils on lots 5 and 1/2 of lot 6, block
1, Tilsen Highland Heights (comer lot at -Douglas Pond and Douglas Court just off
Lexington).
The soil corrections are the first step in building a home on the site similar to the attached
elevation.

TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admin64or
FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Dire
Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assis n r
SUBJECT: Case'No. 90-09: Gesell - Preliminary Plat
DISCUSSION
Mr. Paul McGinley and Mr. James Gesell appeared before
the Planning Commission at their April meeting for a
subdivision request for Mr. Gesell's lot. The lot is located
in the R -1A Zoning District bounded by Dodd Road, Wentworth
Avenue, Delaware Avenue and Marie Avenue (see attached staff
memos).
The Planning Commission had two concerns, both of which
were addressed by the applicant. One concern was the
possibility of a future street system for the "super block"
to accommodate future subdivisions. Mr. McGinley presented'a
possible street system to handle circulation within the area:
(see attached street circulation plan)
The second concern was the need for a public utility
easement into the proposed Lot 2 to serve future utility
needs of the City. Mr. Gesell agreed to -allow this easement
across Lot 1.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended unanimously that
City Council approve the preliminary plat and variance to
allow a lot without a frontage of 150' subject to a utility
easement along Lot 1 to serve Lot 2.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council desires to implement the Planning Commission
recommendation they should pass a motion approving the
preliminary plat subject to the provisions of a public
utility easement along Lot 1 and granting a variance to the
required 150' of frontage along a public street.

SUBJECT: Case No. 90-09: Gesell - Preliminary Plat
DISCUSSION
Mr. James Gesell owns a 7 plus acre lot in a R -1A
District off of Dodd Road between Marie Avenue and Wentworth
Avenue. Mr. Gesell currently lives on the site. He proposes
to subdivide that site into one '.�- plus and one .5 -plus
acre parcels.
The proposed subdivision meets all the area and setback
requirements set forth in the R -1A District. Access to the
site is provided by a long driveway located within a private
easement off of Dodd Road. The lots do not have the required
150' of frontage on a public street.
There is not public sewer and water available to the
site and.the new home will have to be served by private well
and septic system. There is a Wetlands on the site, however,.
the new home construction is shown to be in excess of a
hundred feet (1001) from the Wetlands boundary. If the home
site remains in excess of a hundred feet (1001) from the
Wetlands, no Wetlands permit will be required.
The Police Department has reviewed this request and does
not object to having these homes located on long driveways,
however, they do desire to have the individual addresses
better delineated to facilitate a more rapid response in the
event of an emergency. These addresses should be well
defined both along Dodd Road and at the driveway as you
approach the homes.
ACTION REQUIRED
Conduct the public hearing. Make a recommendation to
the City Council on the granting of a variance to allow a lot
without 150' of frontage and a preliminary plat.

R. James Gesell
Between Dodd Road and
Delaware, Northerly of Marie
(see sketch)
Approval of Land Division and
Variance to Street Frontage
Requirement
1. The property in question is a 7.15 -acre tract, all of which is zoned
R -1A and is located approximately in the middle of the "super block"
bounded by Marie Avenue, Delaware Avenue, Wentworth Avenue, and
Dodd Road. Attached is a copy of the zoning map and the map
indicating the location of residences in the City of Mendota Heights.
2. The R -1A Zone that applies to this property has a minimum lot area
size of 40,000 square feet, a lot width of 150 feet, a front yard
setback of 50 feet, a side yard setback of 20 feet, and a rear yard of
30 feet or 20% of the average lot depth, whichever is greater. A
residence in this district may be a maximum of three stories in height.
You will note that most of the parcels within this area (north of Marie)
are much larger than the minimum 40,000 square feet (1 acre equals
43,560 square feet). However, you will note that the smaller lots
contiguous to Ridgewood Drive are platted at approximately 40,000
square feet.
3. Also, most of the parcels within this area (roughly one-half mile square)
have direct access to the major thoroughfares that form the boundaries
of the area. Except on the west side, some of these properties have
access via private drives. The property in question is one such
property. On the map indicating the location of the residence, private
driveways extending off of a public easement that runs up to the
property in question and the immediate property to the south are
shown.
4. The applicant has submitted a survey prepared by Paul McGinley
indicating the proposal to divide the 7.15 -acre parcel into two tracts.
The northerly tract occupied by the existing house would consist of 2.14
acres (93,378 square feet) and the southerly tract would have 5.01 acres
(218,365 square feet). Thus, the proposed lots easily exceed the 40,000
square -foot lot area minimum.
5. The access to the property is proposed to be the continuation of the
private road that serves the existing parcel. You will note how this is
proposed to be done in the drawings submitted by Mr. McGinley. Thus,
R. James Gesell, Case No. 90-09
Page 2
the proposed parcel to be created will not have frontage on a public
street. This condition requires a variance to the platting regulations.
6. Also, the width of the lot
as measured at the building line is
indicated
on the survey as 140 feet.
This distance is
supposed to be a
minimum
of 150 feet. Obviously,
the house could
be moved further
to the
northeast and the building
line would be 150
feet or more. The house
conforms to the minimum
20 -foot setback on the south side.
On the
north side, the setback is
proposed to be 35
feet.
7. It is possible to extend the public street to both of the properties in
question, the existing lot and the proposed lot. This could be
accomplished by extending the public right-of-way to the east to the
approximate point where the driveway extends northeasterly to serve
both the existing and proposed residences. Such a public street and
cul-de-sac would also serve the Ritter house to the south. Many of the
owners of these large rural -type residential parcels would rather not be
served by an urban street system involving a street and cul-de-sac
properly curbed and drained. In cases where very large parcels are
involved (as is the case here), the City has in the past allowed for the
extension of private driveways to service parcels such as we have here.
8. One of the options that might be considered if the Planning Commission
and Council cared to, is to consider providing for a public easement so
as to extend the existing 33 -foot public easement easterly into the
property in question. This would provide for a future buildable lot in
the northwest corner of the property in question, should that be desired
at some point in the future.
9. Due to the location of the
existing homes, it would appear unnecessary
to consider the extension of a public right-of-way down
the
property
line to the east toward the
low area on the east side of
the
property.
The proposed location for the residence to be built on the
lot
is a good
building site. It would also
appear that the extension of
such
a public
road would have an adverse
effect on the Ritter house to
the
south.
10. These residences are not served by public sewer and water, and thus,
the necessity for a public street to be contiguous to the properties is
less serious than would normally be the case. As long as the properties
in question and the area around it remain in their semi -rural condition,
provisions for full utilities and a normal street system may not be
essential. If, however, a public easement is provided east of the
existing easement (into the property in question), a public street could
be projected south around or through the Ritter property to develop
that' land further and/or properties to the south as well. Thus, it would
seem a public easement across the south 33 feet of the first parcel (up
to the second parcel) may be an appropriate protection for consideration
of the future extension of public rights-of-way to serve the area.

MEMO
April 11, 1990
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admini
64r
FROM: John P. Maczko
Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Participation in Joint Power Agreement for South Metro
Hazardous Material Response Team
Attached for your review is the final draft of the South
Metro Hazardous Material Response Team Joint Powers Agreement.
The purpose of this agreement is to establish a board of direc-
tors from member cities to organize, govern, train, and maintain
a south metro hazardous materials response team. The function of
the hazardous materials response team would be to mitigate the
effects of a hazardous materials incident when the incident is
beyond the capabilities of any member city or in the judgment of
the incident commander, the material poses a serious threat to
life and property.
The final document that is before you comes as a recommenda-
tion from the Dakota County Task Force that was established to
study long and short range options for hazardous materials re-
sponse and is the result of two years work and lots of input from
city administrators, fire chiefs and attorneys. Attorneys that
were directly involved in the final draft were Roger Miller (So.
St. Paul) Shaun Maunahan (Hastings) and Lori Dandoe (Dakota
County), City Administrators Gary Word (So. St. Paul), Linda
Barton (Burnsville), Chief Deputy Sheriff Rich Thul, County
Emergency Preparedness Director David Gisch and Fire Chiefs'DiGk
Krough (West St.. Paul), Brian Holzer (Burnsville), Norm Nisler=
(So. St. Paul) and myself.
HISTORY
In December a draft of this agreement was presented to
Council for their comments and interest in participation in the
agreement. At that point in time Council expressed a desire to
participate in the joint powers agreement. To my knowledge
Council'concerns have been addressed in the final draft of the
agreement.
According to Dave Gisch, Dakota County Emergency Prepared-
ness Director, who did the calculation, the initial contribution
by the City of Mendota Heights would be $2,540, The Cities of
Sunfish Lake, Mendota, and Lilydale are picked up by the County.
Since the formula is based on population it is difficult to
forcast the exact cost for 1991 and 1992 but at this point it is
anticipated that it would be approximately $5,470 in 1991 and
$1,700 in 1992. $3,500 is currently appropriated in the 1990
budget for entering such an agreement.
The share to Mendota Heights is higher in 1991 due to fact
that 1991 is the year that equipment will be purchased for the
response team. Ongoing costs for the team are expected to be
kept at a minimum and possibly self-sufficient depending on
funding sources available from super fund, private companies,
insurance companies or trucking firms that cause an incident. It
is the intent of the board to recoup any expenses in mitigating a
hazardous materials incident through the hauling agency. Under
the agreement, as it is currently written, one member from each
governing body shall be appointed to the Joint Powers Board of
Directors. This board is responsible for submitting a budget to
the governing body of each city for the following year on or
before June 1st of the current year. It is anticipated that this
budget figure will become part of the Fire Department budget for
allocation to such an agreement.
Should any member City oppose the annual budget they may
withdraw from the Agreement by filing written notice. If a
member city drops out of the agreement the additional cost would
either be absorbed by the other member cities or a revised budget
would be proposed.
The Agreement would become effective only if approved by all
fifteen "Initial Members." To date, approximately 9 cities have
approved or have indicated that they are going to approve the
Agreement. While we anticipate all other member cities will
approve the Agreement, consensus at this point can not be guaran-
teed.
I am also enclosing my memo of December 1, 1989 for further
background information.
RECOMMENDATION•
Since the cost of equipping and training of a hazardous
material response team is prohibitively expensive for us to
partake on our own and considering the exposures to hazardous
materials accidents that could possibly occur in our city:.'with
the Soo Line Railroad and Chicago Northwestern Railroad running
on the south and west ends of the City, I-494 and I -35E and Trunk
110 crisscrossing the City, I feel that the joint powers agree-
ment is the most cost effective way for us to provide protection
to the citizens of our protection area.
There is a possibility that the State will act on a bill
that will establish a committee to review the cost effectiveness
of regional response teams within the State of Minnesota, a
function that would be funded by the State. But considering the
current budget climate it is highly unlikely that any general
fund appropriations will be made to establish the regional re-
sponse teams. Therefore my recommendation for approval.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council so desires to implement staff recommendation,
they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 90- , RESO-
LUTION AUTHORIZING CITY OFFICIALS TO EXECUTE AND ENTER INTO THE
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR SOUTH METRO HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RE-
SPONSE TEAM. Council should also appoint a person, staff or
Council, to represent the City on the Board of Directors. I
would be interested in serving in that capacity.

RESOLUTION APPROVING JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR SOUTH
METRO HAZARDOUS MATti2IAL RESPONSE TEAM
WHEREAS, the accidental release of toxic substances and
hazardous materials can potentially occur any place in the coun-
ty; and
WHEREAS, federal community right -to -know legislation
provides information about the presence of toxic and hazardous
substances at facilities in the community; and
WHEREAS, federal and state safety regulations require
responders to hazardous materials incidents be extensively
trained and equipped to appropriately mitigate uncontrolled
releases of toxic and hazardous substances; and
WHEREAS, the high cost of training, the cost of equipment
and the number of trained personnel required to appropriately
mitigate uncontrolled releases of hazardous substances, and the
relatively low number of incidents that each local community may
face makes it impractical to do and not cost effective at the
local level for small communities; and
WHEREAS, there is no agency, public or private, available to
local communities.to respond to and mitigate hazardous materials
emergency incidents; and
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota
Heights hereby approves the Joint Powers Agreement for South
Metro Hazardous Material Response Team and authorizes the Mayor
to execute agreement on behalf of the City.

SUBJECT: Joint Powers Agreement for Hazardous Materials Response
Attached is The third draft of a Joint powers agreement that would establish a board
whose duty it would be to prepare, adopt and implement a plan to provide a
hazardous materials incident response team to respond to incidents in Member cities.
The agreement also defines funding responsibilities for members.
HISTORY
The Federal Superfund law was amended in 1986 to include a Title III amendment
(Commonly known to as SARA Title III) which states that all communities must
develop plans to protect the public from chemical or hazardous materials disasters.
Among other things it also directed Federal OSHA to develop training requirements for
personnel responding to these incidents. Like usual, there was now a law but no
funding was . Allocated for training and implementation of the law. Within a few
months OSHA had developed training standards and an interim rule 1910.120 was put
into place. At that point, emergency responders across the country began to realize
that implementation of the standards would be very expensive and in some cases
impossible to implement on an individual basis.
DISCUSSION -
In September of 1988 Fire departments throughout Dakota County were sent a
proposal from the St. Paul Fire Department to provide contract •hazardous materials
response to the cities. At the same time the County Fire Chiefs formed a hazardous
materials committee and brought this proposal to the city managers at there monthly
meeting in November of 1988. At that time a county task force was established
consisting of City Managers, Fire chiefs and County officials to study long and short
range options for Hazardous Materials Response. The Joint Powers agreement that is
being presented is a result of the work of that task force and the Fire Chiefs Hazardous
Materials Committee.
Also going on concurrently with all of our efforts, was an effort by the Minnesota State
Fire Chiefs Association for the state to establish Regional Response Teams at the state
legislature during the 1989 Legislative session This program failed to gain approval in
legislature leaving cities with still nowhere to turn.
1
Although tlie' Board would be responsible for establishing how best to provide
response to its members the Fire Chiefs committee did extensive work and
preliminary budget forecasts (Also attached). The proposed concept is as follows. The
response team. would be made up of firefighters from county fire departments. Since
it is not proposed that there be a full time response team on duty waiting for an
.incident to occur a 25 member team is proposed. This number came from the fact
that OSHA 1910.120 has requirements of 7-8 people that must be involved directly in
addition to a decontamination and support team. Since it is not fulltime staffed and
more or less volunteer we used the rule of thumb that a 3:1 ratio would be required to
meet the minimum requirements. It was also determined that it would be in the
individual cities best interest that each fire department responding have enough
personnel trained to the level one response to produce at least 7 persons on the scene
to assist the response teams.
After the three year implementation period the only costs for maintaining the team
would theoretically be training and administration needs. Where the team is called
out to an incident all costs for the response would be billed to the carrier or
organization responsible for the incident. Funding of the team is based on cost per
capita. Costs to the City of Mendota Heights and our contract areas would amount to
$2895 in 1990, $5473 -in 1991, $1708 in 1992. After this point it is estimated that
costs to our area would be$2725.20. This compares to a cost for protection from the
City of St. Paul (with no Guaranteed response) of approximately $4700.00 per year.
$3820 was budgeted in the 1989 Budgeted for contract services with St. Paul. This
money could -be used for our 1990 contribution.
RECOMMENDATION
Since Implementing a hazardous , material response team would be to cost prohibitive
for each city to implement; and since a hazardous material incident is similar io a
natural disaster in the fact that it knows no political boundaries it is important for all
cities to sign. For the best, most cost effective, means of protecting our citizens from a
possible hazardous material situation I strongly urge the participation in this
agreement.
ACTION REQUIRED
No real action is needed at this time other then to discuss wether the City of Mendota
Heights will participate and to comment on concerns or questions that you may have
on the agreement. We need to get comments to the Task force by December 8 for
incorporation.

Attached for your review is i:he'.final draft.of'the South Metro
Hazardous Materials Response Team Joint Powers Agreement.
Several city attorneys and the county attorney have worked -out
acceptable language for -.the agreement. There was':a special;
meeting of the -Dakota _-County ,Fire -:Chiefs held on -March 15,,-1.990.
A few -minor Tchanges were,, suggested. The changes were madd',1to;4
make sections more clear,:and avoid any Misinterpretation on
anyone's part.
The Fire Chiefs unanimously- approved acceptance of this draft
with the few mentioned -changes.'., --The Chief's association feels
that this agreement is very workable and will do miich to provide
the fire �,epartments with the necessary resources .to protect the
citizens of.Dakota County.
The Chief's association -;also endorsed forwarding this agreement
to the City Administrators,�Managers of each proposed initial

MEMO
April 24, 1990
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admin.&�Wor
FROM: Larry Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer
SUBJECT: Workmen's Compensation Insurance
HISTORY
In the past, we have carried our Workmen's Compensation
Insurance through the League pool which is administered by
Employee Benefit Association (EBA). Our premium is now
figured at about $58,000 for the year May 1 to April 30.
This year for the first time we have been given the
option of an experienced based premium rather than one based
on the pool, described on the attached form. To get some
background on the risk we might incur with the option, EBA
has computed our losses since 1980. In each year we would
have received refunds based on our experience. The actual
loss payments are shown -below.
During the past three years, the premium return would
have been in the $28/30,000 range per year.
Our idea would be to enter the option agreement, and use,.-
any
se,=any refund we might receive to establish an insurance
reserve. This reserve could then be used to supplement the
budget amount in any year of poor experience. The actual
budget premium would remain the same for the early years and
once we get a reserve built up, we could gradually lower the
budget amount to our experience. It would also be possible
to appropriate a portion of our existing General:Fund Surplus
to establish part of the reserve at the outset, although this
is in no way required.
Under
the refund option, we
could pay as
little
as 47
percent of
our standard premium.
We would be
capped
at 130
percent of
the standard premium
or $82,884. This would be an
additional
payment of $24,000.
To reach this
level,
we would
have claims of about $40,000. Our
worst year
in the
last 10
years was
$19,000 in claims.
The premium option is for a one year period, and would
be renewed or declined each year.

NOTICE OF PREMIUM REFUND OPTION
At the end of each year (January 1) of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust Self -
Insured Workers' Compensation Program a distribution of excess surplus funds, if any, will be
returned to participants under a formula taking into account the earnings and claims experi-
ence of the Trust, as well as the loss records of individual participants. As an alternative,
participating cities with a discounted standard premium in excess of $25,000 may elect to have
their distribution made to them in an amount determined by their individual loss experience
and premium size.
Final net cost to an electing participant will be discounted standard premium times minimum
factor, plus losses times loss multiplier, not to exceed standard premium times maximum
factor. Payroll amounts audited after the close of the year will be used in the determination of
final net cost.

If this election is made, the final net cost of your workers' compensation insurance for
the coming agreement year, based on estimated payroll, would be between a minimum. of
$ 27,342-00 and a maximum of $ 82,884-00 depending upon your losses. Adjust-
ments will be made six months after the close of your agreement year and annually thereafter.
Please return a signed copy of this notice to the administrator with your application for cover-
age if you wish to elect this option.
If this election is not made you will share in the regular distribution of surplus funds, if any.

April 24, 1990
TO: Mayor, City Council, City Admiris for
FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Proposed Rescheduling of Council Meeting Dates
INTRODUCTION
In the past, Council meetings have rarely been rescheduled except
when a meeting would have fallen on a legal holiday or on election or
caucus dates. Several times, however, Council members and people who
have had items scheduled on the agenda for the meeting during the week
of the Fourth of July have had to make extra effort to reschedule
personal activities . The purpose of this memo is to determine
whether Council wishes to reschedule the July meetings.
INFORMATION
There are five Tuesdays in July. The Fourth falls on a
Wednesday, the day after the regularly scheduled first meeting of the
month. If it is Council consensus to reschedule the first meeting, it
seems appropriate to also reschedule the second meeting. Should this
be Council's desire, the meetings could be rescheduled to the second
and fourth Tuesdays of the month. This would maintain a separation of
two weeks between regular meetings during the summer months.
This memo may seem premature. Council consideration now,
however, would allow an appropriate amount of time for notification to
the public and to the Cable Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has no recommendation, but raises the issue as a matter of
Council convenience. 'Council has three options:
1. Take no action, thereby confirming the regular meeting
schedule;
—kP 2. Reschedule the July 3rd meeting to July 10th;
3. Reschedule the regularly scheduled July meetings to the
second and fourth Tuesdays of the month (July 10th and 24th).
ACTION REQUIRED
If the first option receives Council consensus, no action is
required. Should Council determine that one of the other options is
appropriate, it should pass a motion to adopt the selected option.

Subject: Resolution Opposing Airport Expansion Plans Involvoing
A Third, Northern Parallel Runway
DISCUSSION
Earlier this month consultants presented four Runway Design
Options to the Metropolitan Airports Commission for potential
expansion to the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport. Two
of the four designs show northern parallel runways pointed at the
heart of Mendota Heights and having potential to seriously impact
the City with increased overflights and noise. (See attached news
article.)
Because the Metropolitan Airports Commission has indicated
that they expect to make a decision on these designs within the
coming year, staff feels it is important to go on record as
opposing a northern parallel runway and its associated impacts.
We also feel it is important that the Metropolitan Airport
Commission includes the communities most seriously impacted by
airport expansion in any decisions that are to be made regarding
expansion of Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport.
Staff has drafted the attached resolution for ,-.your
consideration.
The airport expansion plans are just one of many current
issues involving the airport that have the potential to
dramatically impact Mendota Heights. The Council, at a previous
meeting, has directed staff to prepare suggestions Yor establishing
a strategy group of some sort to deal with the myriad of issues
related to the airport. Council had indicated that some process,
structure or committee be formed that would enable Mendota Heights
