PUBLIC HEARING
A) RESOLUTION 2015-66 VACATING A PORTION OF AN EASEMENT
AT 1450 NORTHLAND DRIVE
Assistant City Engineer Ryan Ruzek explained that the property owner at 1450 Northland Drive has
submitted a request to vacate a portion of the drainage and utility easement on their property. They are
looking to expand their parking lot for larger truck traffic. Staff has researched the drainage and utility
easement and found no reason for it to exist and so is in support of vacating said easement.
Assistant Engineer Ruzek then shared images of the proposed vacation area. He also confirmed that
there are no public utilities in the area; however, the presence of private utilities has not been confirmed.
Staff believes that the presence of private utilities is unlikely.
Council asked questions regarding the nature of the easement.
Mayor Krebsbach opened the public hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments or
questions.

NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A) RESOLUTION 2015-67 VARIANCE AT 1176 IVY HILL ROAD, PLANNING CASE 2015-26
Planner Nolan Wall explained the applicant was seeking to construct a deck which would require a
variance from the R-1 district rear yard setback standards. It is the applicant’s intent to construct a deck
that would wrap around the west and northwest corners of the existing dwelling into the side and rear
yards. Planner Wall shared images of the property and where the proposed deck would be.
The Planning Commission originally heard this request at their July meeting but tabled action until the
August meeting to allow the applicant to amend the request based on the discussion the Planning
Commission had. The original request was for a 9-foot rear yard setback variance. The amended request
proposes to construct a 3.5-foot wide walkway and landing deck in the rear yard and the compliant
portions of the deck in the side yard; resulting in a reduction of the previously proposed encroachment
by five feet.
page 6
Planner Wall shared the three standards for review and approval of a variance request and explained
how this request fulfills those standards. Staff recommended approval of this request.
Councilmembers asked questions regarding the conditions to be applied to this variance request and how
far out relative to the upper deck would the proposed deck be.
Mr. Robert Alvarez, 1176 Ivy Hill Drive was in attendance to answer questions from the Council.
Councilmember Povolny moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2015-67 APPROVING A VARIANCE AT
1176 IVY HILL DRIVE.
Councilmember Duggan seconded the motion
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
B) RESOLUTION 2015-69 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES
AT 1400 COMMERCE DRIVE, PLANNING CASE 2015-32
Planner Nolan Wall explained that the applicant was seeking a Conditional Use Permit to expand an
existing outdoor storage yard and two Variances to allow outdoor storage within 1,500 feet of a
residential zone and a screened open-air storage of materials. The subject parcel is three acres, zoned
and guided for Industrial Development. The current existing office/warehouse building is vacant and has
a non-conforming outdoor storage yard.
Planner Wall shared images of the property and its location. The property was previously occupied by
Lennox, who moved into a new building across the street.
The proposed use is a permitted non-manufacturing use in the Industrial District as a Landscaping,
Building, Design and Construction. A Conditional Use Permit allows outdoor storage for the permitted
use, subject to thirteen conditions. In this case, the proposed expansion of the outdoor storage area does
require the additional permitting. The proposed project does meet all but two of the required conditions,
which is what the Variance requests addresses.
Planner Wall shared a zoning map of the area outlining the 1,500-foot residential buffer area. The
residentially zoned property in this case is the Acacia Park Cemetery. Additionally, there are three
residential uses that are within the buffer area; however, those are non-conforming uses and are actually
zoned Industrial.
The second variance request, the objective requiring the three-sided covered structure is to keep sites
tidy in appearance and prevent material run-off issues. In this case, the proposed materials to be stored
on site would be screened by a 6-foot tall fence and those materials would not extend above the fence
site line. In addition, the materials are already packaged and do not require coverage or containment;
therefore do not present any run-off issues as would gravel, sand, mulch, etc. Examples of materials they
plan to store on-site are rebar, vapor barrier, drain tile, and wire mesh and they would also be storing
materials inside.
page 7
Planner Wall noted how this request fulfills the standards for approval of the Variances.
The applicant proposes to install a slatted chain-link fence to provide screening for the storage area. The
code requires 90% opacity for screening in the industrial and commercial zones. Although no
specifications were provided for this specific fence, based on research done by staff most slatted fences
only offer about 75% opacity, which does not meet that standard. Therefore, staff is recommending a
solid wood fence, which is consistent with other surrounding properties. The applicant has accepted this
recommendation.
Staff recommended approval of this request.
Councilmembers asked questions and had discussion regarding fencing versus landscaping, what were
the standards required of Bituminous Roadways when they came into the Industrial area. Council
proposed that a condition be added to the resolution requiring submission of a landscape plan to be
approved by the City with the direction that the existing landscaping be supplemented to provide
screening consistent with other properties in the surrounding area.
Ms. Bobbi Curry, Senior Manager of Construction for HP Supply came forward and expressed their
agreement to the added condition and their willingness to work with staff on a reasonable plan.
Councilmembers asked additional questions regarding the height of the fence being agreeable to the
applicant, the estimated hours of truck movement in the area, and the opacity requirements of the wood
fence.
Councilmember Duggan moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2015-69 APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT AND VARIANCES AT 1400 COMMERCE DRIVE with the additional condition requested.
Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
C) WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT PERMIT – RYLAND HOMES, LEMAY SHORES
Assistant City Engineer Ryan Ruzek explained that the City of Mendota Heights is the local government
unit that administers the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. The Lemay Shores site submitted a
delineation report that identified four wetlands on the site. During an inspection of the site, staff noticed
disturbances to two of the wetlands. Site meetings were held with Dakota County Soil and Water
Conservation District, the Department of Natural Resources, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
Consensus of the sites was that they were low quality wetlands and they requested that the developer
submit an application for their unauthorized work in the wetland boundaries.
Research identified that Wetlands 2 and 3 have been impacted. Thereason stated for filling the two
wetlands was to cap them as they had been used as a garbage dump for the cemetery for the past few
years. The application submitted from Ryland Homes and Kjolhaug Environmental identify the two
wetlands as being low quality and posing a public safety hazard due to their use as a garbage dump.
page 8
Kjolhaug Environmental is proposing to keep the wetlands capped and they have secured wetland
credits from an approved wetland bank, which are going to be replaced at a 2:1 ratio. The wetland bank
credits are of a higher value and function wetland within the same Minnesota River Watershed but they
are not located in Mendota Heights.
Assistant Engineer Ruzek then shared images of the affected areas.
Staff recommended approval and acceptance of the application as submitted.
Councilmembers asked questions and had discussion regarding the imposing of a fine in this case.
Councilmember Duggan moved to approve and accept the application as submitted by Kjolhaug
Environmental Services Company, Inc. on behalf of Ryland Homes and direct staff to issue the Notice
of Decision on the report extension.
Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
D) RESOLUTION 2015-65 ACCEPT FEASIBILITY REPORT AND CALL FOR A PUBLIC
HEARING FOR THE MENDOTA ROAD NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
Assistant City Engineer Ryan Ruzek explained that staff has completed the feasibility report for the
proposed 2016 street reconstruction and rehabilitation project, Mendota Road Improvements. The
project includes reconstruction of Mendota Road from Oak Street to Delaware Avenue. Staff also
proposed to rehabilitate Sibley Court, High Ridge Circle, and Warrior Drive.
Staff has proposed to do this as one project to limit disturbance in the area. The property owners along
Mendota Road were surveyed and there was a small portion that requested a parking lane. Staff is
proposing a design similar to Victoria Road and Wagon Wheel Trail constructions. The rehabilitation to
the neighborhood on Warrior Drive; staff proposed a 5-foot wide concrete median going up the center of
the road to limit some of the U-turns by the traffic. There will be openings in the median for the homes
along Sibley Court and High Ridge Circle. Staff proposed to hold a neighborhood meeting on September
21, 2015 to present the information to the rehabilitation neighborhood.
The assessments would be approximately $30,950 for the rehabilitation area, with a proposed
assessment of $7,593 for the reconstruction area. The portion between South Lane and Oak Street was
assessed $3,700 in 2002. Staff proposed to reduce the assessment to those six properties by that amount.
Staff requested Council accept the feasibility report and schedule a public hearing for November 17,
2015.
Councilmembers asked questions regarding the different proposals for Warrior Drive and when those
proposals would be decided upon, the reasons for a median on Warrior Drive, and they requested that
different median options and their costs be shared with the residents.
page 9
Councilmember Duggan moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2015-65 ACCEPTING FEASIBILITY
REPORT AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MENDOTA ROAD
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS (PROJECT #201507).
Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5

E) HALLOWEEN BONFIRE
City Administrator Mark McNeill requested direction from Council on how staff should proceed since
Halloween is next month. Staff has been advised that Paster Properties has all of their retail space
leased. As a result, there are concerns about adequate amounts of parking in their lot, and Paster has
asked the City to provide parking control for the bonfire event. Discussion was also held on the type of
items being dropped off for burning.
Councilmembers discussed different options for parking and dropping off of brush if the bonfire is held
on the property behind The Plaza.
Administrator McNeill summarized by saying that staff would approach the neighboring businesses to
get permission for temporary parking lot, and to allow the community contribution of brush for only one
weekend, with the option to open it up another day or two if the accumulated material is insufficient.
COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Assistant to the City Administrator Tamara Schutta made the following announcements:
A blood drive is scheduled for September 2, 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
th
The 16 annual traditional Wacipi Pow Wow is scheduled for September 11 - 13 at the St.
Peter’s Church ground.

Maintenance Center and on October 3 at the Burnsville Maintenance Center.
Submission of Police Reserve applications has been extended to September 11, 2015.
The Police Academy is full; it begins on September 17, 2015.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Petschel gave an update on the most recent developments at the airport regarding the
discontinuance of Convergent Operations. Simply, if a plane was landing on runway 17/35 at the same
time there was a plane departing over south Minneapolis runway, and the arriving plane had to abort the
landing, the was a chance of collision. While there had not been an actual event at the airport, the FAA
has put all airports on notice that this type of operation needed to be suspended.
page 10
The problem is due to the arrival/departure window. At MSP, the FAA has been using a 4-minute
window between arrivals and departures. It isgoing to start a 60-day trial of using an 8-minute
departure/arrival window. This affects the airport’s capacity because it slows down operations.
Councilmember Petschel said that she wanted to make it clear that this would have absolutely no effect
on the residents of Mendota Heights.
Mayor Krebsbach expressed her appreciation to staff for all of their hard work on the budget workshops.
She also thanked acknowledged $40 million worth of real estate had recently been sold in the Industrial
Park.
She noted that a thank you card received from some area residents expressing their appreciation for the
Council’s attendance at the Night to Unite events.
ADJOURN
Councilmember Povolny moved to adjourn.
Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Mayor Krebsbach adjourned the meeting at 8:19 p.m.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
Minutes of the Workshop Meeting
Held Tuesday, September 1, 2015
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a workshop meeting of the City Council, City of
Mendota Heights, Minnesota was held at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota
Heights, Minnesota.
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Krebsbach called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. Councilmembers present included
Duggan, Norton and Petschel. Councilmember Povolny arrived at 5:07 PM.
Also Present: City Administrator Mark McNeill; Assistant to the City Administrator Tammy
Schutta; Finance Director Kristin Schabacker; Police Chief Mike Aschenbrener; Fire Chief John
Maczko, City Attorney Tom Lehmann.
DISCUSSION
Administrator McNeill stated that the purpose of the meeting was to review the proposed FY
2016 Operating Budget. He stated that the Council was being requested to give direction at this
meeting to be used to put together a preliminary budget and levy for action to be taken at the
th
regular Council meeting of September 15.
Fire Relief Association Contribution:Administrator McNeill introduced Tom Mattaini, who
represented the Mendota Heights Fire Relief Association. Mayor Krebsbach asked why this
issue had not been included in the first budget review session; McNeill replied that he had met
with the Relief Association to review their needs in May, but theyhad not specifically been
given the instructions on the schedule. As a result, the Relief Association request was not
received until after the budget information for the first meeting had gone out.
Mattaini distributed information showing where Mendota Heights stood in comparison to other
cities. He noted that an increase of $500 per fire fighter per year had been received last year,
which brought the annual City contribution to $2500. He said that it was hoped that an increase
of $750 could be seen during each of the next five years. Chief Maczko said that there needed to
be more of an incentive to stay with the Department, as an increasingnumber of fire fighters are
leaving with less than 10 years of experience.
Councilor Duggan said that he was agreeable to a $500 annual increase. Councilor Povolny was
supportive of an increase, but wanted to look at the whole budget before making a decision.
Mayor Krebsbach stated that she wantsto look at the comparison cities, and felt that at some
time the City should have a discussion of the future of the fire service. Councilor Petschel felt
page 12
that a plan to catch the Relief Association up to average should be a goal to be discussed at a
future goal-setting session.
The Council thanked Mr. Mattaini for his information, and said that they would make a decision
after the budget could be reviewed in its entirety.
John Maczko PERA Request: Fire Chief John Maczko informed the Council that in doing
research on his anticipated retirement in early 2016, he found that his membership in PERA’s
Coordinated Plan would mean that if he continues to work for the City of St. Paul for an
additional 5 years, his PERA pension benefit from serving as Mendota Heights Fire Chief since
1986 would be nearly for naught. He was eligible for participation in the PERA Police and Fire
Fund. He said that he had not been granted membership in the Police and Fire Fund when he
was appointed Fire Chief in 1986, even though both of his predecessors had been in that fund.
PERA had told him last fall that in order to gain membership now in the Police and Fire Fund,
there would need to be special legislation by the State of Minnesota, as well as a buy-in to PERA
of nearly $95,000.
He said that he had worked with State Representation Joe Atkins for special legislation earlier
this year, and would like to pursue it again with the 2016 Legislature. He said that PERA
wouldn’t oppose special legislation.
The Council discussed the options. Chief Maczko said that in order to address the financial
question, he was willing to put in one third of the buy-in amount. The Council indicated its
interest in participating by contributing an additional one third. It directed that a letter be sent to
Representative Atkins, asking for some help in the resolution of the matter on his part, including
the possibility of having PERA contribute the remaining one third.
Review of Improvement Packages: Administrator McNeill reviewed the status of the budget as
it stood from the initial meeting, and also reviewed each of the 25 Improvement Packages for
capital and programming spending options which had been discussed at the first budget meeting.
Review of Budget: Administrator McNeill said that based on the decisions from the previous
meeting, the increase in the levy stood at a 5.85% increase over 2015.
McNeill went on to say that $11,000 was still in the preliminary budget which could be available
for an increased contribution to the Fire Relief Association. That money was comprised of
$9000, if the Council wanted to reduce the existing $5250 annual cap on tuition reimbursement
for employees to $3000. The other $2000 would be if the Council chose not to fund the request
of the Roger’s Lake Homeowners’ Association for an increased amount of herbicides to be put
into the lake. The $11,000 would provide for an additional $300 per fire fighter. Council gave
preliminary approval to the changes in the limit for tuition reimbursement, and directed that the
amount of the Rogers Lake herbicide program would be at the existing $1500. Council then
directed that $500 per firefighter per year be included in the preliminary budget.
page 13
The Council discussed the City’s annual contribution to the athletic fields at Henry Sibley High
School, for which the City had entered into an agreement in 1991. Attorney Lehmann said that
he had reviewed the contract, and reported that there was no easy way to get out of the contract
until it expires in 2030. If there are field use issues, he said that the City could pursue those.
The Council discussed the annual $10,000 contribution to MHAA. It was felt that with the levy
increase already nearing 6%, and with the many other pressing issues for funding, the City could
not make the annual contribution in the 2016 budget year. The Council did note that Mendota
Heights will still not charge MHAA for the use of the fields, which is a significant contribution.
Councilor Povolny said that he had a lead on a potential donation of firearms for the Police
Department, which, if successful, could help solve the PERA issue
Finance Director Schabacker said that with the changes made at this meeting, the increase in the
levy for 2016 would be 5.95%. That would be the amount which would be presented to the City
th
Council for adoption at the September 15 City Council meeting. The preliminary budget and
levy for FY 2016 must be certified to Dakota County by September 30, 2015.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mayor Krebsbach adjourned the meeting at 6:51 PM.

TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, PE, Assistant City Engineer
Almin Ramic, PE, Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Authorization to Provide Surveying Services and Geotechnical Services for the
Mendota Road Neighborhood Improvements
BACKGROUND
The feasibility report for the Mendota Road Neighborhood Improvements was accepted by the
Mendota Heights City Council at the September 1, 2015, city council meeting. The proposed
project includes reconstructing the curblesssection of Mendota Road (previously Hwy 110
Frontage Road) from Delaware Avenue to Oak Streetand rehabilitating the existing curbed
sections of High Ridge Circle, Sibley Court, and Warrior Drive.
The Engineering Department is currently busy with the construction of Victoria Road South
Improvements, Mendota Heights Pond inspections and documentation, finalizing 2014 street
reconstruction and rehabilitation projects and Marie Avenue striping.
Staff requested proposals from two surveying companies and received proposals from both.
Bolton & Menk, Inc. provided a proposal with an estimated cost of $8,296.00 to complete the
topographic survey for Mendota Road Neighborhood Improvements. The survey data will be
used to design the reconstruction project if it is approved this fall. The other proposal received
from Pioneer Engineering had a price of $9,900.00. Bolton & Menk, Inc. is a company that staff
has worked with in the past and staff feels that they will complete the survey work to our
satisfaction.
Staff also requested proposals for geotechnical services and received proposals from one of the
companies. Northern Technologies, Inc. provided a proposal with an estimated cost of $4,850.00
to complete the necessary geotechnical services for the Mendota Road Neighborhood
Improvements project which include soil borings, pavement design recommendations and
recommendations for utility construction. Staff has worked with Northern Technologies, Inc. on
several projects in the past with excellent results and has always received very competitive price
from them.
BUDGET IMPACT
Surveying services and geotechnical services are included as indirect costs for the project. Staff
anticipated these project costs and a summary is shown below:
page 17
Estimated Actual
Surveying Services $15,000.00 $8,296.00
Geotechnical Services $5,000.00 $4,850.00
Total$20,000.00$13,146.00
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the council authorize staff to sign the proposal from Bolton & Menk, Inc.
for surveying services and the proposal from Northern Technologies, Inc. for geotechnical
services.
If city council wishes to implement the staff recommendations, pass a motion by simple majority
vote authorizing staff to sign the proposal from Bolton & Menk, Inc. for surveying services with
a not to exceed amount of $8,296.00 and authorize staff to sign the proposal from Northern
Technologies, Inc. for geotechnical services with a not to exceed amount of $4,850.00.

SUBJECT:
Resolution 2015-70 – Revision to City Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND
Staff has discovered an omission in the City Fee Schedule that needs to be corrected. Currently,
Attachment A of the Fee Schedule, which establishes Building Permit Fees based on project
valuation, does not account for projects valued at over $1,000,000.00. Earlier in 2015, the City
adopted the 2005, State recommended Building Permit Fee Schedule. It replaced the 1997
standard the City had been using. Included with this memo is Page 12 of Exhibit A – Building
Permit Fees, adding the formula to be used for calculating Building Permit Fees for projects
valued at over $1,000,000. This formula is consistent with other cities using the 2005
recommended fee schedule.
Projects valued over $1,000,000 are rare in Mendota Heights, but they do occur. They are
principally in commercial development and renovation, and occasionally in new residential
construction.
BUDGET IMPACT
No significant budget impacts are anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 2015-70 Revisions to the Schedule
of Fees for Services. This action requires a simple majority vote.

Wentworth Park Hockey Boards Replacement
BACKGROUND
The Parks Department would like to replace the hockey boards at the Wentworth hockey rink. The
hockey boards are 20 years old.
BUDGET IMPACT
In the 2015 Special Park Fund, there is $17,000 to replace the hockey boards. Two quotes were
obtained and they are: Joe Becker Construction LLC $19,500 and Dakota Unlimited $20,791.
Both quotes are over budget. The reason the bids came in higher than the budgeted amount is
because material are more expensive this year than last year. There is money in the Special Park
Fund to cover the $2,500 additional cost.
A chain link fence will need to be added after the boards are up. The estimated cost of the chain
link fence is about $4,000 which will also be paid out of the Special Park Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
If Council is in agreement with the total project cost of $23,500, staff recommends that the City
Council authorize the issuance of a purchase order to Joe Becker Construction LLC to replace
the hockey boards at Wentworth Park.
If the City Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion authorizing a
purchase order to Joe Becker Construction LLC for their low bid of $19,500 to replace the
hockey boards at Wentworth Park. The chain link fence will be added after the hockey boards
are up. This action requires a simple majority vote.

SUBJECT: Bourn Lane Property Cleanup
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to hire a contractor to clean up household items which remain in the City’s
recently purchased property at 1189 Bourn Lane.
BACKGROUND
As part of the negotiations for a lower purchase price of the single family house at the above
address, it was agreed that the City would be responsible for cleaning out the interior of the
house at the above address. It was intended that City crews would be doing that work, but it has
since been determined that there is toomuch material left in the structure for city workers to do
that. Instead, quotes were received from two disposal companies for cleaning and disposal of
non-hazardous material. The quotes for the labor portion were:
DK Services $3500
RK Hunter 2950
In addition to the above will be landfill costs; both contractors estimated those to be an additional
$2500. There will also be a separate billing for the disposal of appliances.
Therefore, the lower total quote (including estimated landfill/disposal fees) is that of RK Hunter,
at $5950.
page 23
BUDGET IMPACT
The estimated project budget provided for the structure would be a practice burn for the Mendota
Heights Fire Department. The budget provided for $25,000 for site cleanup costs, to include
asbestos and lead paint testing and remediation, septic tank removal, and the capping of two
wells.
This is the first of the actions being undertaken. If later the Council chooses to replenish Fund
13, which has provided for many of the Bourn property acquisition and site clearance, funding
could come from the proceeds of the sale of the property.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the lower quote, I recommend the cleanup work be awarded to RK Hunter.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, authorize the award of cleanup work for the
contents of the structure at 1189 Bourn Lane to RK Hunter, in the amount of $5950, with the
final amount to be dependent upon actual landfill costs.

Revised Resolution Modifying Original Conditions of Approval for a Lot Split
and Variance at 650 North Freeway Road
BACKGROUND
The Council adopted Resolution 2015-50 approving a lot split and variance request at 650 North Freeway
Road at the July 7 meeting. As a condition of approval, a garage addition was required to be completed on
the existing dwelling prior to the lot split being recorded.
The applicant, who is also the builder for the proposed improvements on both parcels, is requesting a
modified condition that would allow construction of the garage addition on the existing parcel and dwelling
on the newly-created parcel to occur simultaneously. As written, construction could not commence for the
new dwelling until the garage addition is completed.
The intent of the original condition was to ensure that the proposed garage addition would be constructed.
Staff is proposing a revised condition that allows reasonable flexibility in the construction schedule and
recording process while still ensuring that the proposed garage addition is constructed as planned.
Original condition:
The existing driveway serving the attached garage is removed, and a building permit is approved and
certificate of occupancy issued for the proposed garage on Parcel A, prior to the subdivision being recorded
by Dakota County.
Recommended revised condition:
The existing driveway serving the attached garage is removed, and a building permit is approved and
certificate of occupancy issued for the proposed garage on Parcel A, prior to the subdivision being recorded
by Dakota County. The certificate of occupancy for the new dwelling on Parcel B will not be issued prior
to completion and acceptable final inspection for the proposed garage on Parcel A.

TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: John R Mazzitello, PE, PMP
Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Dakota County Presentation on the Proposed Highway 110 Pedestrian Crossing
BACKGROUND
As part of the Mendota-Lebanon Hills Greenway Master Plan, Dakota County has received a
grant from the Metropolitan Council to construct a grade-separated pedestrian crossing
somewhere along Highway 110 between Highway 149 (Dodd Road) and Oak Street in Mendota
Heights. The Counry has retained SRF Consulting Group to analyze alternative locations as well
as alternative crossing structures. If ultimately approved, it is Dakota County's intent to have the
pedestrian crossing constructed in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) project to resurface Highway 110 in 2017.
Ciry staff has been participating in Project Management Team (PMT) meetings for the past
several months, as Dakota Counry and MnDOT have been developing various alternatives. The
Dakota County Project Manager, Jacob Rezac, will be presenting the status of the project, taking
City Council comments and questions, and forwarding any concerns/comments to the design
team. The County will be holding public open houses in the coming weeks, and is working with
the owners and tenants from both Mendota Plaza and the Village of Mendota Heights on the
possible crossing alternatives. Dakota Counry is intending on having a preferred alternative
recommendation presented to the County Board in December.
BUDGET IMPACT
There are no proposed budgetary implications for the City of Mendota Heights at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council listen to Dakota Counry's presentation, ask questions for clarification,
and offer any comments pertinent to the project that Dakota County can bring back to the design
team for consideration.

SUBJECT:
New Water Service Agreement
BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota Heights has been in its existing contractual agreement with Saint Paul
Regional Water Service (SPRWS) since 1995. The agreement expires in December of 2015, and
SPRWS has initiated the process of renewing the agreement. Under the current agreement, the
City of Mendota Heights owns the distribution system and is responsible for all routine
maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of system components. SPRWS supplies the water
and is responsible for all emergency repairs, inspection or completion of new or replacement
projects, and conducts all billing for the utility. Because of this arrangement, SPRWS charges a
rate 20% higher than their base rate for other municipal customers to all customers in the City of
Mendota Heights. Additionally, the City charges a 10% surcharge to all water utility customers
to gain revenue for the Water Utility Fund, which is used to fund maintenance activity as well as
rehabilitation and replacement projects.
The proposed contract has been reviewed at 2015 City Council Workshop sessions held on
rdththth
February 3, May 15, June 29, and August 24. An updated version of the proposed contract,
including all updates and revisions made based on the comments and questions received during
the workshop sessions, is attached. Also Attached are the following documents that were
th
included in an e-mail to Council on September 8:
1.May 9, 2013 memo to Council – Identifies ~32.5 miles out of 88.5 miles of water main (37%) as
being Cast Iron with a replacement cost (2013 dollars) of ~$9.75 million
2.Mendota Heights System Map showing remaining Cast Iron Pipes
3.SPRWS “Heat Map” showing mains with a history of repair issues (matches up pretty well with
City Cast Iron map)
4.SPRWS 2013 (most recent available) Annual Report
5.SPRWS 2013 (most recent available) Financial Report
6.SPRWS 2016 Proposed Budget Summary
7.SPRWS 2016 Proposed Budget Cover Letter
8.SPRWS 2013-2015 Strategic Plan
9.SPRWS 2014 Water Quality Report
10.SPRWS June 2015 Water Analysis Report
11.SPRWS 2015-2015 CIP
page 40
In addition, SPRWS offered the following explanation of their Capital Improvement Planning
process at the request of the Council:
“SPRWS uses a 10-year capital plan, which is included in
annual budget documents presented to the Board. The attached plan was approved by the Board in
March. The water mains, hydrant, and services budget is approved as part of each annual budget. Needs
are determined by engineering staff based on break history, age of pipe, and other factors used to
prioritize replacement needs. These needs are then coordinated with the host cities and other utilities as
best as possible and finally prioritized based on resources available.” – Steve Schneider, General
Manager, SPRWS.
UPDATE
With the latest revisions, the proposed Omnibus Agreement can be summarized by the
following:
Mendota Heights deeds ownership of the water distribution system to SPRWS
Mendota Heights would be able to enter into a separate agreement with other municipal partners
(Maplewood, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, West Saint Paul) and hold one of two seats on the Board of
Water Commissioners
SPRWS would be responsible for all routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and capital
improvements
Mendota Heights would still be responsible for painting the fire hydrants
SPRWS and Mendota Heights are required to review capital projects at least once per year, SPRWS
cannot initiate a capital project without MH concurrence
Surcharge will be eliminated through the following schedule:
2016 – 20%
o
2017 – 20%
o
2018 – 20%
o
2019 – 18%
o
2020 – 18%
o
2021 – 14%
o
2022 – 0%
o
SPRWS would utilize the surcharge and $4.40 flat fee per bill (ending in 2022) to accumulate the
funds necessary to complete capital improvement projects on deficient mains as identified in contract
Exhibits A-D
In the event SPRWS is purchased or dissolved, Mendota Heights has the right to choose between
remaining under agreement with the new operating agency, or to regain ownership of the system
SPRWS would warranty all repairs for 1-year after certified completion of the repair or improvement
Mendota Heights would collect cell tower revenue from the water tower according to the following
schedule:
2016 – 100%
o
2017 – 100%
o
2018 – 100%
o
2019 – 100%
o
2020 – 100%
o
2021 – 100%
o
2022 – 50%
o
All years after 2022 – 50%
o
Mendota Heights would retain ownership of the land the water tower sits on; SPRWS would own the
water tower itself
Mendota Heights would grant SPRWS access across City land via easement to get to the water tower
SPRWS would allow Mendota Heights to store items in the water tower via easement
page 41
No exterior modifications or alterations to the water would be completed without the prior permission
of Mendota Heights (will be included in the cross-easement agreement for access & storage)
SPRWS would complete all quarterly billing
SPRWS would administer any City surcharge Mendota Heights sees fit to charge
SPRWS would collect 2% of surcharge funds collected as an administrative fee
Mendota Heights may place billing inserts into the SPRWS bills
Mendota Heights would not be allowed to connect a supplemental water source to the SPRWS
system, although independent systems (not connected) may exist
Mendota Heights would be responsible for any adjustments to the water system that are directed by
the City (relocation of fire hydrants, Valve box casting replacement, etc.) and not part of an Identified
SPRWS improvement
Mendota Heights would not be billed for water consumed for fire response of fire training
Mendota Heights would be billed at standard retail rates for water consumed (other than fire)
SPRWS would get 60 days to fix any report of failure of service
Mediation would occur after 60 days if service issue is not sufficiently resolved
Mendota Heights may choose (for any reason) to terminate the agreement and regain ownership of
the system
Mendota Heights would reimburse SPRWS for the depreciated costs of capital improvements made
o
to the system not listed in exhibits A-D
Mendota Heights would be reimbursed for any funds collected but not expended on the capital
o
improvements listed in Exhibits A-D
BUDGET IMPACT
The impacts to the annual budget will not affect the General Levy. The proposed ownership
conveyance agreement would reduce revenues to the Water Utility Fund (dependent on what
level, if any, surcharge is kept on water bills by the City), but would also greatly reduce expenses
from that fund. While not related to the City budget, the ownership conveyance would reduce the
rates paid by Mendota Heights’ water users in the long term.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the Attached Omnibus Agreement with SPRWS. Approval
of this agreement requires a simple majority vote.

determined to be in acceptable condition and are not in need of improvement at the time of
acquisition. The Board recognizes Mendota Heights’ renovation of the water tower in 2010.
Funds generated from water rates greater than 100 percent of the Saint Paul Rate shall be used to
compensate the Board for certain additional costs it agrees to assume pursuant to this Agreement,

ARTICLE IV
Section 1.CONSOLIDATION OR ACQUISITION; MENDOTA HEIGHTS’
OPTIONS
In the event that the Board ceases to operate in its present form due either to
consolidation with a local or regional authority or to an acquisition of its assets by another entity
(together referred to as “Alternate Authority”), it is the intent of the Board and Mendota Heights
to protect the rights of Mendota Heights properties to the continued supply of an adequate water
service as well as to adequately compensate Mendota Heights for its previous investments in the
water facilities located within its boundaries. The rights and liabilities of this Agreement are not
transferable or assignable by either party without the written consent of the other.
Therefore, to the extent legally permissible the Board shall insure that in the event of any
such consolidation or acquisition, Mendota Heights may terminate this Agreement or negotiate a
new water service agreement with the Alternate Authority.
In the event Mendota Heights should elect to terminate this Agreement, then and in that
event, it is hereby agreed that:
a)The Board shall for the sum of one dollar ($1.00), reconvey title to the facilities and real
estate previously conveyed by Mendota Heights, pursuant to Article II, Section 6 of this
Agreement; and
page 48
b)The Board shall request, to the extent legally permissible, that the Alternate Authority
execute a water service contract with Mendota Heights so as to continue to provide an
adequate water service to properties located within Mendota Heights; and
c)The Board shall be compensated for the depreciated value of all water mains and other
water service facilities, including water meters, hydrants, and other appurtenances,
constructed or caused to be constructed by the Board to serve the Mendota Heights water
system from and after the effective date of this Agreement. The Board shall receive such
compensation from the Alternate Authority and not from Mendota Heights.
In the event that Mendota Heights elects not to terminate this Agreement, the Board shall
require that the Alternate Authority assume the Board’s contractual obligations as set forth in this
Agreement, and shall require that Mendota Heights be compensated for the amortized value of
the facilities and real estate previously conveyed to the Board pursuant to Article II, Section 6, of
this Agreement.
Section 2.FACILITIES INVESTMENT
The Board shall monitor and track all water system infrastructure investments within
Mendota Heights to identify to what degree those investments benefit Mendota Heights.
The Board shall monitor and track its investments in the water system, treatment plant,
and transmission mains outside of Mendota Heights to identify to what degree those investments
benefit Mendota Heights. The Board shall determine the asset value of Mendota Heights’
existing water system in order to assist Mendota Heights in determining whether to enter into a
new agreement with the Alternate Authority, or to regain ownership of the system.
ARTICLE V
Section 1.MAINS CONSTRUCTED BY MENDOTA HEIGHTS
When Mendota Heights installs new water mains, service connections, and/or
appurtenances for the distribution of water within the corporate limits of Mendota Heights, all
construction shall be in accordance with Board standards. Plans of all extensions to the water
system by Mendota Heights shall be submitted for approval to the Board before advertising for
bids, awarding contracts, or beginning of actual construction. This initial construction for water

SUBJECT:
Renewal of Water Service Agreement with Saint Paul Regional Water Service
BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota Heights has been in its existing contractual agreement with Saint Paul Regional
Water Service (SPRWS) since 1995. The agreement expires in November of 2015, and SPRWS has
initiated the process of renewing the agreement. Under the current agreement, the City of Mendota
Heights owns the distribution system and is responsible for all routine maintenance, rehabilitation,
and replacement of system components. SPRWS is responsible for all emergency repairs, inspection
or completion of new or replacement projects, and conducts all billing for the utility. Because of this
arrangement, SPRWS charges a rate 20% higher than their base rate for other municipal customers to
all customers in the City of Mendota Heights. Additionally, the City charges a 10% surcharge to all
water utility customers to gain revenue for the Water Utility Fund, which is used to fund maintenance
activity as well as rehabilitation and replacement projects.
This issue was originally presented at the City Council’s January goal setting workshop, and based
on the comments at that workshop there are two options for moving forward with a renewed
agreement. Advantages, disadvantages, and costs of each option are listed below.
1.Status Quo Agreement: Under this agreement, ownership and responsibilities would remain
the same, all surcharges to customers would remain in place, and the City of Mendota
Heights would retain control and responsibility for maintenance and replacement projects.
SPRWS would remain responsible for all emergency repairs.
2.Turn Back System Ownership to SPRWS: Under this agreement, ownership of the system
would be transferred to SPRWS as negotiated within the new agreement. Once ownership is
transferred, SPRWS would be responsible for all maintenance, repair, replacement, and
emergency responses for the water utility.
Advantages of Status Quo Agreement
City retains control over what replacement projects are completed and when
City retains water system as an asset on the balance sheet
City continues to collect revenues from surcharges and cell tower rental
Disadvantages of Status Quo Agreement
City retains liability and responsibility for water utility including replacement costs
~32.5 miles out of 88.5 miles of water main pipes (37%) are cast iron and will need
o
replacement in the future
Responsibility for water utility remains confusing to residents and contractors
page 68
Customers continue to pay 30% in surcharges
City is not allowed to have a seat on the SPRWS Board
Continue to pay insurance on water tower
Costs of Status Quo Agreement
City (expense): Eventual replacement of ~32.5 miles of cast iron water main at ~$300,000
per mile = $9,750,000 in water utility projects
City (expense): ~$230,000 in annual expenses for routine maintenance of the system
City (expense): ~8,750 per year in insurance premium for water tower
City (revenue): ~$245,000 in surcharge fees collected per year
City (revenue): ~$110,000 from cell tower rentals on the water tower
Customers: Continue to pay 30% surcharges on water bills ($15 for every $50 used)
Advantages of Turn Back Agreement
City would no longer be liable for maintenance and replacement of the system
Ownership of/responsibility for the system would be clear to residents and contractors
Customers would no longer pay surcharges (surcharges would decrease over time)
City would have a seat on the SPRWS Board
City could negotiate retention of cell tower revenues in the new agreement
City would have reduced expenditures for the water system
City would no longer have to insure the water tower
Disadvantages of Turn Back Agreement
City would no longer control what replacement projects happens and when
City loses the water system as an asset on the balance sheet
City would no longer collect revenue from water utility surcharges
Costs of Turn Back Agreement
City (expense): ~$245,000 reduction in designated revenue to the Water Utility Fund
City (expense): ~$110,000 reduction in cell tower rent if not negotiated in agreement
City (revenue): ~$8,750 is saved insurance premiums due to not insuring water tower
City (revenue): ~$9,750,000 saved in not funding water main replacement projects
City (revenue): ~$110,000 retention of cell tower rent if negotiated in new agreement
Customers: 30% reduction in water bills ($15 off of every $65 billed)
BUDGET IMPACT
The impacts to the annual budget will depend largely on the structure of the new agreement with
SPRWS. The Status Quo Agreement would keep budgets relatively the same with increased
revenues to the Water Utility Fund needed for future replacement projects. The Turn Back
Agreement would reduce revenues to the Water Utility Fund, but would also reduce expenses from
that fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option for the new
agreement with SPRWS and provide staff with direction on which option Council prefers.

Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Kristen Schabacker, Finance Director
SUBJECT:
Preliminary Levy for 2016
BACKGROUND
On Tuesday, August 18, 2015 and September 1, 2015 the City Council held budget workshops to discuss
the proposed 2016 budget. As a result of those discussions, the following highlights have been included
in the preliminary 2016 budget:
Tuition reimbursement limits for employees have been reduced to $3,000. In 2015, the tuition
reimbursements were up to $5,250 annually. This change has resulted in a budget reduction of
$9,000, compared to 2015.
The City’s contribution to the Mendota Heights Fire Relief Association for firefighter pensions is
proposed for increase by $500 per firefighter. This raises the annual contribution to $3,000 per
firefighter per year. This has increased the 2016 preliminary budget by $18,000.
The Rogers Lake treatment line item remains at $1,500.
The 2016 preliminary budget eliminates a budgeted, but never-filled police patrol position.
A 2.5 Ton dump truck requested by Public Works is included in the budget, and would be funded
through equipment certificates to be issued in 2015. The annual amount to be levied will be
approximately $24,000 for the 10 year term.
Personnel: Due to a decrease in health insurance premiums, the monthly contribution toward employee
insurance will not increase in 2016 and remain at the 2015 rate. The proposed budget/levy includes a 2%
COLA wage increase.
general fund
Budget Increase: The total budget for 2016 is $7,398,444 which is 4.81% greater than the
2015 budget. The total city budget for all funds in 2016 is $12,714,444.
Levy Impact: The levy for 2016 will increase by $416,621 from the 2015 levy. This represent a 5.95%
increase over last year. Changes can be made to the preliminary budget prior to the adoption of the final
budget in December 2015; however, the preliminary levy cannot be increased once it is certified in
September 2015. The budget may be increased if funded by sources other than the property tax levy.
page 179
The residential values home in Mendota Heights increased 5.17% between 2015 and 2016. A 5.95% levy
increase will increase the city portion of property taxes from $1,161.36 in 2015 to $1,222.41 in 2016 for a
home that is valued at $334,863 in 2016. This is a 5.37% increase in the city portion of property taxes.
Information on the impacts on other sample properties is attached.

RECOMMENDATION
Each year the City Council needs to adopt a preliminary budget and tax levy in September. This levy is
th
certified to Dakota County before September 30. There are three resolutions that need to be passed.
The first adopts the proposed budget for 2016.
The second adopts the preliminary levy to be certified to the county.
The third resolution that adopts a levy for the special taxing district. The special taxing district
levy affects only the industrial park properties and is used to maintain and operate street lights.
After approval, the Dakota County will send out parcel specific tax statements to the residents in
November. These will show the change in property taxes based on the preliminary levy adopted. The
final budget and levy will then be discussed and considered for approval at the Council meeting on
Tuesday, December 1, 2015. The final levy needs to be certified to the County no later than December
28, 2015.
The City Administrator and I recommend adoption of these resolutions.

Ordinance 477 Amending the Trade School Definition
BACKGROUND
The City is considering amendments to Title 12-1-B-2 of the City Code concerning the definition of a trade
school. As a result of recent requests to establish different types of educational institutions within the Industrial
District, staff is proposing a code amendment to clarify the existing definition.
Existing Definition:
TRADE SCHOOL: An educational institution, either private or public, which offers classes and
training to full and/or part time students including, but not limited to, technical, mechanical, services
and computing fields.
Proposed Amendment:
TRADE SCHOOL: An privately-owned, post-secondary, skill-based educational institution, either
private or public, which offers classes completion programs that issue certificates, diplomas, and
degrees; and certified training to full and/or part time students including, but not limited to,
technical, mechanical, services and computing fields.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
TRADE SCHOOL: An post-secondary, skill-based educational institution, either private or public,
which offers completion programs that issue certificates, degrees, or classes and certified training to
full and/or part time students including, but not limited to, such as those in technical, mechanical,
services and computing fields.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at the May and July meetings; the only public comments
were related to another case that the Board of Zoning Appeals and Council have since acted on (see minutes).
BUDGET IMPACT
N/A
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended approval of DRAFT Ordinance 477, as described in Planning Case
2015-14. If the City Council desires to implement the recommendation, pass a motion adopting ORDINANCE
477 CONCERNING TRADE SCHOOLS.
This matter requires a simple majority vote.

City of Mendota Heights
Proposed City Code Amendment Concerning Trade Schools
City Planner Nolan Wall explained that the City was considering amendments to Title 12, Chapter
1, Article B, Section 2 of the City Code concerning definition of “trade school” in response to
recent requests to establish different types of educational facilities within the Industrial Zoning
District.
Commissioners asked questions regarding existing trade school uses in the Industrial District, if
there was an example of a school that was not permitted under the current definition that would be
allowed under the proposed, and the reason for the proposed amendment if the current definition
is working. In response, Planner Wall stated the intent was to clarify the existing definition based
on the City’s interpretation and its post-secondary nature.
Chair Field opened the public hearing.
page 236
Ms. Cindy Lavorato, attorney representing STEP Academy, a 6-12 Charter School in Inver Grove
Heights. STEP Academy has applied to become a part of Sanford-Brown College, currently
residing in the Industrial Zoning District. She believes that the current definition, although vague
and in need of clarification, allowsfor a charter school in the zoning district. However, the
proposed definition, in their viewpoint, is an effort to zone the charter school out of the proposed
use that would be very consistent with the school’s mission and that of Sanford-Brown.
Planner Wall explained that STEP Academy has made an appeal related to a specific interpretation
of the existing definition in relation to the proposed use. That issue will come before the Planning
Commission, which will be acting as the Board of Appeals, for the June 23 Commission meeting
date. Tonight’s discussion is limited to the proposed code amendment with the understanding that
this specific issue raised in relation to that use will come back before the Planning Commission
acting as the Board of Appeals. The code, as it is currently, is the code upon which the appeal will
be heard.
Additional discussion occurred regarding the timing of this planning case and the need for it at all.

City of Mendota Heights
Proposed City Code Amendment Concerning Single-family Residential Construction
City Planner Nolan Wall explained that the City of Mendota Heights is seeking amendments to
Title 12, Chapter 1, Article E of the City Code pertaining to minimum requirements for single-
family residential districts.
In response to the recent infill development and the increasing amount of teardowns in the City,
the City Council directed staff to research potential ordinance amendments to address the
associated issues for discussion at the February 2015 Council Workshop. The issues discussed
regarding this development pattern were related to the structure size and footprint of new
dwellings, minimum lot sizes, building height, character of the neighborhood, as well as
construction impacts. After discussion by the Council, staff was directed to proceed with certain
amendments, which have been provided in proposed Ordinance 478 for review and
recommendation by the Planning Commission.
Planner Wall then reviewed each section contained in the proposed ordinance.
Commissioners asked questions regarding why this would not be governed by setbacks and floor
area ratios as opposed to trying to design homes and lengthening the hours of operation.

288 City Planner Nolan Wall explained that the City is considering amendments to Title 12, Chapter
289 1, Article B, Section 2 of the City Code concerning the definition of a trade school. Staff originally
290 brought this request forward at the May Planning Commission meeting; action was tabled with the
291 public hearing remaining open. The intent is to clarify the City’s interpretation of the existing
292 definition.
293
294 Commissioners asked to be reminded why the revised definition includes “privately-owned”
295 versus “public”, why the definition says “including, but not limited to”,
296
297 After discussion it was the consensus of the Commission to amendthe definition as follows
298 (remove or add):
299
300 TRADE SCHOOL: A privately-owned, post-secondary, skill-based educational institution which
301 offers completion programs that issue certificates, diplomas, anddegrees;, and or certified

DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The City is considering amendments to Title 12-1B-2 of the City Code concerning trade schools.
BACKGROUND
As a result of recent requests to establish different types of educational facilities within the Industrial Zoning
District, a code amendment is being proposed to clarify the definition of “trade school.” The current
definition was amended by Ordinance 391 in 2004 (attached).
ANALYSIS
The Code allows “Trade schools and colleges or universities, without accessory housing \[12-1G-1\]” as a
permitted nonmanufacturing use and “Trade schools, colleges, and universities with accessory housing for
the students of the school only \[12-1G-2\]”as a conditional use in the Industrial District.
“Trade School” is currently defined as:
TRADE SCHOOL: An educational institution, either private or public, which offers classes and training to
full and/or part time students including, but not limited to, technical, mechanical, services and computing
fields \[12-1B-2\].
DRAFT Ordinance 477 (attached) includes the following amended definition:
TRADE SCHOOL: A privately-owned, post-secondary, skill-based educational institutionwhichoffers
completion programs that issue certificates, diplomas, and degrees; and certified training to full and/or
part time students including, but not limited to, technical, mechanical, services and computing fields.
Trade school uses that occupy the Industrial District are post-secondary institutions. The use category also
includes “colleges or universities,” both of which are post-secondary in nature, and were specifically
discussed by the City Council and added by Ordinance 391.
page 241
ALTERNATIVES
Following the public hearing and further discussion, the Planning Commission may consider the following
actions:
1.Recommend approval of DRAFT Ordinance 477, as presented or as amended by the Commission.
OR
2.Recommend denial of DRAFT Ordinance 477.
OR
3.Table the request, pending additional information and revisions from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission discuss the proposed code amendment. If acceptable to the
Commission, action can be taken at this month’s meeting. Staff would propose to bring back any substantial
revisions for review and further discussion at a future meeting prior to making a recommendation to the
City Council.

Ordinance 485 Adopting Standards for Alternative Energy Systems
BACKGROUND
The City is considering amendments to Title 12, Chapter 1, Articles B, D, and E of the City Code concerning
alternative energy systems. Staff receives infrequent requests for installation of these systems, but as the
technology improves and additional financial incentives become increasingly available, the systems will
become more desirable. Furthermore, solar access protection is included in the Land Use Plan-Resource
Protection section of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan; including a policy to consider modification of existing
ordinances.
DRAFT Ordinance 485 creates additional definitions and a new section that provides standards for solar
energy systems. Additional sections can be added to establish standards for other alternative energy
systems, such as ground-source heat pumps and wind energy systems in the future. The proposed
amendment ensures the same standards are applied to each solar energy system in an effort to encourage
sustainable practices that do not adversely impact the community.
As originally proposed, solar energy systems would be considered a permitted accessory use in any zoning
district, therefore no additional Council approval is necessary as long as the conditions are met. The
Planning Commission discussed consideration of the proposed use by conditional use permit and agreed it
was a policy issue for the Council to determine.
As summarized in the attached table, DRAFT Ordinance 485 includes standards addressing the following:
Use Setbacks ScreeningSafety
Building permits Mounting Color Easements
Exemptions Location Glare Abandonment
Height Maximum area Utility connection CUP/Variance
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at the July 28 meeting; there we no public
comments.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of DRAFT Ordinance 485, as described in Planning

253 Proposed City Code Amendment Concerning Alternative Energy Systems
254
255 City Planner Nolan Wall explained that the City was considering amendments to Title 12, Chapter
256 1, Articles B, D, and E of the City Code concerning alternative energy systems. Currently, there
257 are no standards in place for alternative energy systems; however, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
258 includes a section on protection of solar access and a policy to consider modifying the Code.
259
260 Draft Ordinance 485 creates a new section in the Code and provides standards, right now, only for
261 solar energy systems. Additional sections can be added as necessary in the future to address
262 ground-source heat pumps (geothermal) and wind energy systems, if and when the need arises.
263 The proposed draft ordinance ensures that consistent standards are in place to encourage
264 sustainable practices that do not adversely impact the community.
265
266 Planner Wall then reviewed the proposed amendments and regulations contained in draft
267 Ordinance 485.
268
269 Commissioners asked questions regarding setback requirements, demolition permits, conditional
270 use permit standard #2 (That the solar energy system has a net energy gain), the existence of any
271 legislation about solar energy systems, and conditional use versus permitted as an accessory use.
272 After further discussion regarding the conditional versus permitted use issue, the Commission
273 agreed that this would be a policy issue for the City Council to determine.
274
275 Let the record reflect that there was no one present to address a public hearing so no motion to

Proposed Code Amendments – Alternative Energy Systems
APPLICANT:
City of Mendota Heights
PROPERTY ADDRESS:
N/A
ZONING/GUIDED:

ACTION DEADLINE:
N/A
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The City is considering amendments to Title 12, Articles B, D, and E of the City Code concerning
alternative energy systems.
BACKGROUND
Currently, there are no standards in place for alternative energy systems in the City Code. DRAFT
Ordinance 485 creates a new section in the Code and provides standards for solar energy systems.
Additional sections can be added to establish standards for other alternative energy systems, such as ground-
source heat pumps and wind energy systems in the future. The proposed amendment ensures the same
standards are applied to each solar energy system in an effort to encourage sustainable practices that do not
adversely impact the community.
Solar access protection is included in the Land Use Plan-Resource Protection section of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan (page 72-73):

ANALYSIS
Staff reviewed several example ordinances prior to drafting the proposed code amendment. A summary of
the proposed regulations contained in DRAFT Ordinance 485 include the following:
1.Solar energy systems must be accessory to the principal use and supply energy on-site. This is
meant to exclude solar farms or other utility-scale developments that would be considered as the
principal use of the property. Additional research would be necessary to address these types of
systems as part of a future code amendment process.
2.Solar energy systems are a permitted accessory use in all zoning districts, therefore no additional
zoning/land use permit is required if the standards are met.
3.Building permits are required.
4.Standards for roof-mounted systems include height, setbacks, mounting, and maximum area.
5.Standards for ground-mounted systems include height, setbacks, location, and maximum area.
6.Screening is required to the extent possible without impacting the function of the system.
7.Panel colors must match the roof materials.
8.Glare towards surrounding properties and streets is prohibited; additional screening may be
required.
9.Utility connections must be underground, a disconnect switch is required, and any connections into
the grid must be approved by the local utility provider.
10.Safety and certification standards must be met.
11.Systems cannot encroach upon any public easements.
12.Non-functional/inoperable systems are considered “abandoned” after 12 months and must be
removed at the owner’s expense.
13.A conditional use permit is required to deviate from any of the standards, in compliance with
specific conditions.

ALTERNATIVES
Following the public hearing and further discussion, the Planning Commission may consider the following
actions:
1.Recommend approval of DRAFT Ordinance 485, as presented or as amended by the Commission.
OR
2.Recommend denial of DRAFT Ordinance 485.
OR
3.Table the request, pending additional information and revisions from staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission discuss the proposed code amendment. If acceptable to the
Commission, action can be taken at this month’s meeting. Staff would propose to bring back any substantial
revisions for review and further discussion at a future meeting prior to making a recommendation to the
City Council.
