2006-06-16 Friday NewsPATRICK HOLLISTER IS LEAVING
After ten years here at Mendota Heights, Patrick Hollister is leaving to be the Chisago County
Planner. Pat and I were "reminiscing" a little today about how much things have changed since
he arrived. When he came Chuck Mertensotto was Mayor and Jill Smith and Christine Koch
were on the City Council. Larry Shaughnessy was Treasurer and "Shirl" was the Accountant.
Shawn Sanders and Marc Mogan were in the Engineering Department, Kim Blaeser was the
Senior Secretary, Diane Ward was the Engineering Secretary and Chris Esser was the Parks and
Recreation Programmer. Dennis Delmont was the Police Chief.
The SOS Gas Station was still in operation across from City Hall. Tom Thumb was still going
strong, Town Center wasn't even a dream and George's Golf Tee was still in operation.
We are all going to miss Pat here at the City but we are all much richer for having him here for
the past ten years. Please join us next Friday at noon if you can, to help us say Goodbye, Good
Luck and to wish him well at Chisago County.
The audit is now completed. Kristen and I were debriefed by Auditors Tom Hodnefield and
Esther Schultz on Tuesday of this week. The auditors were very happy with the financial state of
Mendota Heights so it was a good meeting. The audit now needs to be delivered to the State
Auditor before the end of June. They are planning on attending the second City Council meeting
in August to review the audit with the City Council.
FA H ERS DAPI
This Sunday is Fathers Day. We here at City Hall wish all fathers (old and new) a great weekend
and a Happy Fathers Day!

complete at the Summit of Mendota Heights. Curb and gutter
installation is scheduled for next week. The streets are scheduled to

`i
•
This letter is being sent because
you are a property owner along a
County Road scheduled for
pavement rehabilitation this
summer.
What's Being Done?
Each year Dakota County
rehabilitates approximately 25
miles of pavement. The 2006
overlays include work on: CR 4,
CR 8, CSAH 23, CSAH 26,
CSAH 28, CSAH 42, CSAH 46,
CR 62, and CSAH 63. A map is
attached on the backside of this
update showing the locations of
the paving.
This year's contractor,
McNamara Contracting, Inc.,
will be placing new asphalt on
the driving lanes; and in most
cases, paving the gravel
shoulders on your roadway. A
small amount of paving on your
driveway will occur immediately
adjacent to the County Road.
The end product will be a better
looking, longer lasting, and
smoother road.
In most cases, pavement rehab is
accomplished by overlaying the
existing roadway with a new
layer of asphalt. In some cases it
is necessary to grind away an
inch or two of pavement before
placing the top layer of asphalt.
This process is called a "mill and
overlay." Both the overlay and
mill and overlay are cost-
effective solutions for extending
the life of the pavement.
N UR
Overlays
June 14, 2006
When will the Work be
Completed on CR 8?
Work on CR 8 will begin the
week of June 19 from TH 13 in
Mendota Heights to Humboldt
Avenue in West St. Paul.
Aggregate will be added to the
shoulders in preparation for
paving the roadway and
shoulders. After that is complete,
aggregate will be placed along
the edge of the pavement. This
work will take about two weeks
to complete.
What Should I Expect?
The road will remain open to
traffic during paving and you
will have access to your property
throughout construction. While
the contractor performs these
operations, you may encounter a
short delay. The contractor
typically paves approximately
two miles of roadway per day so
the time spent working along
your property should be short.
For the safety of both the
residents and the workers, we
ask for your patience.
Recycling CSAH 23
A six -mile stretch of CSAH 23
between 330h Street and CSAH
86 in Greenvale Township will
be rehabilitated using a process
called "Cold In -Place
Recycling."
In this process, a milling
machine removes the existing
pavement, crushes and sizes it,
adds an adhesive, and then relays
the asphalt. Vehicles can drive
on the pavement within a few
hours. After this process, the
contractor will add a two-inch
layer of pavement on top of the
recycled material. This process is
being used because paving over
it would not correct the cracking.

TO: City Council, Commission Members, and City Administrator
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Pre -Application Meeting Synopsis
Staff met with nine potential applicants on Monday, June 12, 2006.
Steve Grittman, Sue McDermott, and Patrick Hollister were present.
Gail Washenberger, 1773 Victoria Road
Mr. Grittman and Mr. Hollister met with Gail Washenberger at her house to discuss her
landscape screening of her RV. The ordinance requires that RVs be "adequately
screened". Planner Grittman had suggested arborvitaes a minimum of four feet tall and
spaced three feet on center, extending a minimum of three feet beyond the front and rear
of the motor home. Ms. Washenberger has planted the arborvitaes, although some of
tli—. are not quite Lour feet tall. Mr. Grittman said that given the rapid growth of these
..
plants most of them should be at or near four feet within one growing season. As an
interim measure, Ms. Washenberger has placed four -foot high planter boxes in between
the arborvitae where they will remain until the trees reach the appropriate heights.
Planner Grittman felt that this was an acceptable interim solution.
(Councilmember Duggan joined us for this discussion.) Mr. Nelson was recently granted
a wetlands pen -nit to landscape his back yard. Mr. Nelson said that although he did not
anticipate it in his original Wetlands Permit application, his contractor now informs him
that he needs to import 50 cubic yards of fine dirt in order for his plantings to survive.
Staff asked Mr. Nelson to meet with us to determine if this would require an additional
Wetlands Permit. Mr. Nelson described his planned activities. Staff reviewed the
Wetlands Ordinance and determined that no Wetlands Pen -nit was necessary as long as
less than 100 cubic yards of dirt is imported. Staff told Mr. Nelson that he may proceed
with importing the dirt.
Bob Dahm and Rick Pederson, Burr Oak Landscapes
1875 Hunter Lane
Mr. Dahi-n and Mr. Pederson met with Staff on behalf of the homeowner at 1875 Hunter
Lane to discuss their plans to add a swimming pool. Staff determined that the property is
within the Mississippi River Critical Area Corridor and provided the gentlemen with the
appropriate materials for a Critical Area Permit application. This application will be on
the June 2006 Planning Commission agenda.
Lance E. Lemieux, Southview Senior Living, and Rick Fenske, Weis Builders, Inc.
Southeast Corner of Lexington Avenue and Highway 13
Mr. Lemieux and Mr. Fenske met with Staff to discuss the possibility of placing a
residential facility for Alzheimer's patients at the southeast comer of Lexington Avenue
and Highway 13. The parcel is within the Critical Area and has a limited buildable area
due to steep slopes. The gentlemen said that they were aware of these limitations but that
they felt that there was adequate room for the facility. The gentlemen showed some
pictures of some of their other facilities, which are one-story and residential in
appearance. The property is zoned R-1. Staff reviewed the R- I zoning description and
determined that this type of use is a Conditional Use in the R- I zone. Staff provided the
gentlemen with the appropriate materials for applications for a Conditional Use Permit
and a Critical Area Permit. The gentlemen intend to apply in time for the July 2006
Planning Commission meeting.
t 0701wi I G"U"11 F"Twil
2031 Victoria Road
Mr. Zarich met with Staff to discuss his plans for a pergala in back of the main building
at Dakota Communities. Mr. Grittman reviewed the plans and determined that the
pergala constitutes a landscape feature and therefore no planning approvals are necessary.
Staff referred Mr. Zarich to the Code Enforcement Officer just in case a building permit
is necessary.
Mike Falk, McDonald Construction
Hanson Property, Hwy 13 and Wachtler
Mr. Falk met with Staff to discuss the redevelopment potential of the Hanson property at
13 and Wachtler. Upon review of the GIS data for the property Mr. Falk discovered that
the property was not as large as he thought and that therefore he was not interested in
pursuing redevelopment of the property any further.
Mr. Lainana has a two -car attached garage which he would like to expand. Staff
reviewed the GIS information for Mr. Lamana's property and determined that he only has
a few feet available for expansion toward the side lot line without a variance. Staff also
discussed with Mr. Lamana scenarios of expanding toward the front or toward the back,
but both presented other challenges. Mr. Lamana said that he would be content to expand
the garage a few feet toward the side lot line without the need for a variance.
Fred Schumaker, 1400 Clement
Mr. Schumaker has both an attached garage and a detached garage. Mr. Schumaker
expressed interest in remodeling and expanding his detached garage. Staff told Mr.
Schumaker that today's code only allows one garage per single-family dwelling. Staff
told Mr. Schumaker that he had three options: (1) He could repair the detached garage
without expanding it, (2) he could apply for a Conditional Use Permit to expand the
garage and commit to removing the garage door and refrain from keeping cars in the
structure, or (3) he could apply for both a Conditional Use Permit and a Variance expand
the garage and allow for more than one garage. Staff told Mr. Schumaker that it was
quite unlikely that option (3) would be approved. Mr. Schumaker said that he would
consider his options and contact Staff again later.
Gregory s Suckow, Grubb & Ellis
2401 Pilot o 1 b Road
Mr. Suckow met with Staff to discuss a tenant of the building at 2401 Pilot Knob road.
The tenant is ICHOR and they make granite countertops. ICHOR is currently storing
some material outside in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. The Code Enforcement
Officer has notified ICHOR of the violation and has instructed them to cease storing
materials outside. Mr. Suckow asked if it would be possible to apply for a Conditional
Use Permit for outdoor storage. Planner Grittman reviewed the zoning ordinance and
determined that there was no provision for a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage
in the I zone. Mr. Suckow said that the landlord has already found space within the
building for the materials and that they would be moved inside.
