MENDOTA WOODS Council acknowledged and discussed reports regarding the final plat for Mendota Woods and a tabulation of bids received for public improvements for the plat. Council also acknowledged receipt of the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions for the plat. It was the consensus of Council to require that section 3.16 of the covenants be modified to stipulate that attic insulation shall be sufficient to meet noise attenuation standards.

Jedlicki, Inc., for their low bid of $81,993.40. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Abstain: 1 Koch HEARING: FURLONG Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the AREA IMPROVEMENTS purpose of a public hearing on proposed assessments for improvements to serve the Furlong Addition and adjacent areas. Council acknowledged receipt of the proposed assessment roll and a report from Engineer Klayton Eckles. Council also acknowledged receipt of a letter.from Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Geier, 1309 Kendon Lane, in objection to the proposed assessment against their property. Engineer Eckles informed the Council and audience that the total project cost is anticipated to be about $250,000 less than the feasibility study estimate. Because of the Page No. 2991 May 7, 1991 savings, the residential assessments are proposed to be $1,500 to $2,000 less than the feasibility estimate, and the commercial/industrial properties will receive a similar savings. He explained that if the project is approved, the construction on the sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer and street reconstruction project will begin tomorrow. Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that if the assessment roll is adopted, the assessments for underground utilities will be spread over a 19 year period and street reconstruction will be spread over a 10 year period, beginning with taxes payable in 1992. Interest on the assessments will be 8% per year on the unpaid balance, and full payments can be made to the City Clerk, without interest, until October 1st. He then asked for questions and comments from the audience. Mr. Robert Tousignant, 1300 Furlong Avenue, asked whether the square foot assessment for storm sewer is applied against land under water. Mr. Eckles responded that only useable land area is proposed to be assessed. Mr. William LeClaire, 1295 Lakeview, asked the status of natural gas installation. Mr. Eckles responded that NSP has indicated it will be willing to bring gas into the area, and that installation will probably begin in July. NSP will be contacting residents about hook-up soon. Public Works Director Danielson was directed to follow-up with NSP, informing NSP that the residents are of the understanding that gas will be installed this summer. Mr. Joe Perron asked about the lake level. Mr. Eckles responded that the lake should never get more than one foot higher than it is now - the level control device sets the maximum level at 835 MSL, but there is•no control over how low the level can get. There being no further questions or comments, Councilmember Cummins moved that the hearing be closed. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 3 Nays: 2 Blesener Cummins Page No. 2992 May 7, 1991 Councilmember Koch moved adoption of Resolution No. 91-22, "RESOLUTION AWARDING CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SANITARY SEWERS, WATER, STORM SEWER AND STREET REHABILITATION TO SERVE THE FURLONG ADDITION AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 86, PROJECT NO. 4)," awarding the contract to C.W. Houle, Inc., for its low bid of $599,825.00. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Councilmember Blesener stated that she voted in favor of the project and awarding the contract but will not vote in favor of the assessment roll adoption. She further stated that she does not feel that tax increment financing is appropriate for residential properties where there is no hope of recapturing the investment and that she felt that the project savings should go to the TIF and the residential assessments should be at the $10,000 level originally anticipated. Councilmember Cummins agreed. Councilmember Koch moved adoption of Resolution No. 91-23, "RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS FOR SANITARY SEWER, WATER, STORM SEWER AND STREET REHABILITATION TO SERVE FURLONG ADDITION AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 86, PROJECT NO. 4)." Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Council acknowledged a letter from Mrs. Margaret Walker asking that Council waive the assessments proposed for 2370 Highway 55 (PIN 27-04100-016-36). Administrator Lawell informed Council that the property Mrs. Walker is referring to is the Margaret Perron estate, that no one is living on the property and Mrs. Walker lives out of state. Mrs. Walker has indicated that the assessment will be a hardship and asks for a deferment. She has indicated that the property was on the market but did not sell. Mayor Mertensotto directed the Administrator to contact Mrs. Walker and ask for specifics about what is contemplated for the property and whether it is currently listed. He pointed out that it may be possible to defer the assessment with the understanding that it Page No. 2993 May 7, 1991 will become payable upon the sale of the property. FURLONG CDBG POLICY Council acknowledged a report from the City Administrator regarding assessment abatement policies for Dakota County HRA block grant funding to assist in the abatement of Furlong Area assessments for low and moderate income households. Administrator Lawell explained that the CDBG program has been approved. The program will be handled by the HRA, who will receive applications from the residents. He explained that details on the program will be sent to the homeowners. The HRA plan would be to have a representative at City Hall on May 21st to accept applications from 3:00 to 7:00 P.M., or residents may call the HRA individually before May 21st. Mayor Mertensotto suggested that a deadline be set for May 31st at 4:00 P.M. for submission of applications. Councilmember Blesener moved to adopt the Assessment Abatement Policy and Procedures Guide relating to the use of CDBG funds for the Furlong Area public utility project and that the deadline for filing applications for CDBG funds be May 31st at 4:00 P.M. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 HEARING - U.S. WEST Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the purpose of a continued public hearing on an application from U.S. West NewVector for a conditional use permit to construct a 16 by 52 foot mechanical utility building at the City's Public Works garage site, and installation of nine cellular telephone antennas on the City water tower. Mr. Bernie Wong, representing U.S. West, stated that his firm has agreed to changes in its original proposal. The location of the equipment building will be moved to run parallel to the public works facility so that the facility can be expanded in the future without interfering with the U.S. West building. Landscaping will remain as proposed on the east side of the drive for screening purposes, exterior material type, texture and color of the building will match the public works garage, and a 16 by 25 foot area of the Page No. 2994 May 7, 1991 proposed building will be provided to the City for storage. Heat will be exhausted and circulation will be vented to the City portion of the building from the U.S. West portion of the building. The eight -foot long panel antennas will be attached within the fluted valleys of the water tower and will be painted the same color as the tower. He submitted pictures of a painted antenna which was placed next to the tower and explained how the antennas are proposed to be attached to the tower. Councilmember Blesener asked whether Council is allowed to designate specific use for the lease revenues. Mayor Mertensotto felt that the revenue should accrue to the water utility fund. Administrator Lawell stated that revenues could accumulate in the water fund and staff could keep track of the revenues. A transfer could be made in the future if it is desired. Mayor Mertensotto felt that section 4b of the lease agreement should be revised to provide that U.S. West notifies the City of changes in the CPI. Mr. Wong agreed to make the change. Councilmember Smith asked if the City could install heat or utilities if a use arose for its side of the building. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the agreement provides that excess heat will be exhausted to the City side. He stated that he does not want a dead- 1� storage building which is not insulated and understood that U.S. West will have an environmental control unit on its side of the building. He asked that the word excess be removed from section 5c of the agreement. Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern about limiting radio interference to the lessor's property. He stated that there are 252 apartments within 1/4 mile of the public works site and asked if they would ever have interference. Mr. Littlejohn, legal representative for U.S. West, stated that there would be no interference and that he has submitted a letter to that effect. He informed Council that U.S. West is regulated by the FCC, which requires that U.S.West operate in such a manner that there is no interference. Page No. 2995 May 7, 1991 Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Littlejohn if he has contacted the FAA, pointing out that MSP airport may in time use microwave antennas. Mr. Littlejohn responded that U.S. West would certainly be willing to accept a condition that they could not use microwave transmission - a condition that U.S. West may not put more or different types of antennas on the property without the explicit consent of Council. He also stated that U.S. West will adjust its frequencies to comply with any requirements of the FAA, MAC or other agencies. It was agreed that the last line of paragraph 9 on Page 13 will be amended to read "hereafter may be issued by the FCC, FAA or MAC and with the Site Standards." Mayor Mertensotto stated that a provision should be made in the agreement whereby U.S. West must provide a certificate of insurance to the City annually. Councilmember Smith asked if there is a provision for insurance to protect the City in case the City would be sued for allowing the use. Mr. Littlejohn responded that the City will be named as an additional insured and as such, the insurance company would defend the City. Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Councilmember Cummins moved -that the hearing be closed. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Councilmember Cummins moved adoption of Resolution No. 91-24, "RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ALLOWING U.S. WEST NEWVECTOR TO INSTALL A CELLULAR PHONE ANTENNA ON THE WATER TOWER WITH ITS SERVICE STRUCTURE AT THE CITY'S PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE," amended to incorporate plans dated May 3, 1991 on file in Planning File No. 91-07, and in accordance with the amended negotiated lease agreement. Councilmember Koch seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 2996 May 7, 1991 Mr. Wong stated that U.S. West will amend the lease agreement in accordance with changes requested by the Council this evening. HEARING, CASE Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the NO. 91-08, MUELLER purpose of a public hearing on an application from Mr. Thomas Mueller for a conditional use permit to construct a 400 square foot storage shed at 1975 Knob Road. Mr. Mueller stated that he proposes to locate the 20 by 20 foot storage shed on the north side of his existing garage, about 12 to 15 feet from the garage, and that the structure will be used for personal storage such as lawn mowers. Mayor Mertensotto noted that the Planning Commission had recommended approval on the condition that the shed be used for residential storage only. He stated that it is obvious that the intention of the Commission was to avoid the shed becoming storage for boats, etc., which would be more than would be contemplated in a residential area. Councilmember Cummins asked Mr. Mueller if he understands that he cannot operate his business out of the shed. Mr. Mueller responded that he understands the condition and that he is a self-employed carpenter. Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Mueller that the Council can revoke the conditional use permit if the condition is violated. He asked Mr. Mueller if he has provided a landscaping plan. Mr. Mueller responded that he has not prepared a plan but has a letter from the City that requires more screening. Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Councilmember Blesener moved that the hearing be closed. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 2997 May 7, 1991 Councilmember Blesener moved adoption of Resolution No. 91-25, "A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ALLOWING A STORAGE SHED AT 1975 KNOB ROAD." Councilmember Koch seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 HEARING - HNTB Public Works Director Danielson informed Council that HNTB has requested that its Planning Commission hearing be continued to the May 28th, and he recommended that the Council hearing be continued. Councilmember Blesener moved that the HNTB conditional use permit hearing be continued to June 4th at 8:00 P.M. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 MENDOTA INTERCHANGE Mr. Earl Vanberkem, Mr. Bruce Libby, and Mr. Jack Crassey, from Mn/DOT were present to update Council and the audience on the status of the Mendota Interchange project. Mr. Vanberkem reviewed plans for the project. He explained that the reason the project was originally planned was because the TH 55/13/110 interchange was the most congested interchange in the state, and the site of hundreds of accidents annually. Traffic has dropped considerably since completion of I- 494, however it is building again. The traffic count was 47,000 vehicles per day on the Mendota Bridge before I-494 construction and it is projected to be 52,000 in the next few years. He explained the interchange plan and informed the Council that old T.H. 55 will become a continuous frontage road from Lexington to Mendota Heights Road. The frontage road on westbound T.H. 110 will become a road into Mendota. Old T.H. 13 will remain the same near the bridge. He stated that the project will be done in stages and the cost for the Mendota Bridge reconstruction will be $17 million. Mr. Libby stated that the project will be done in two stages, and the need to reconstruct the Mendota Bridge is what is driving the project. The first stage will start before the bridge work - Mn/DOT will build new roads including the balance of the T.H. 110 frontage road, new Page No. 2998 May 7, 1991 T.H. 13 from I-494 to T.H. 55. That part of the project will start in the spring of 1992, and in the fall the Mendota Bridge will be closed for two years. In the spring of 1993 the rest of the project will be constructed, and by the time the bridge is closed the T.H. 13/55 part will be completed. Councilmember Blesener asked if there will be a signalized intersection at Pilot Knob and new T.H. 13. Mr. Libby responded that none is planned now but conduit for future signals may be installed. Also responding to a question from Councilmember Blesener, Mr. Libby stated that there will be a trail on the north side of the Mendota Bridge and a narrow sidewalk on the south side. The north trail will hook up to a system along the frontage road and cross to the south frontage road to Pilot Knob Road to connect to the trail at Mendota Heights Road. Mr. Crassy stated that the bridge will be 92 feet wide, that the existing arches are sound but that the deck will be replaced and widened. There will be four 12 foot lanes and three foot medians with barriers in the center, 8 foot shoulders on the outside, an 8 foot pedway on one side and a four foot sidewalk on the other. He stated that the bridge must be shut down because of the way it was originally constructed, to save the integrity of the bridge. Mayor Mertensotto asked why the pedway is not being brought back to Lexington and T.H. 110. Mr. Vanberkem responded that the project did not originally include bikeways or walkways and that the shoulders on the north T.H. 110 frontage road can be used for walking or biking. Mr. Lawrence Culligan asked whether Mn/DOT feels that the s -curve design or cul-de-sac is better for Glenhill Road. He also asked if there will be increased cost if the s -curve design is built because of the need to realign sewer in Glenhill Road. Mr. Libby responded that the s -curve is very safe, a 5% grade, and that Mn/DOT would never have proposed it if it did not feel the design would be unsafe. He also stated that there Page No. 2999 May 7, 1991 will need to be sewer realignment in the s - curve design. Engineer Klayton Eckles stated that the realignment cost, estimated at $30,000 would be a City expense. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that at the time the original line was installed, the City agreed to make any future changes at its own expense. The realignment cost would be a general City expense, as was the case with the Happy Hollow Bridge project. Mr. John Clemency asked if the frontage road must go to the east from the interchange north to the current frontage road. Mr. Vanberkem responded that this is part of the design that was approved as the result of a long process. Mn/DOT does not like to dead- end frontage roads, and the frontage road will provide better access for the neighborhood. Mn/DOT wants to connect into Mendota as much as possible with an off-road system and does not want a cul-de-sac but rather wants the frontage road to go through because it will allow flexibility. He further stated that the project plan is the last of many designs which at one time included a three level interchange. The off-road system planned will provide a low speed road for local traffic, bikeway, etc., and he does not feel it will have any adverse impact. He stated that there is no facility to change the project, pointing out that there are several Mendota Heights and Mendota homes which will get access by the frontage road, and that it will also provide access for emergency vehicles. Mrs. Joan Olin, a Mendota City Council member, stated that Mendota would very much object to dropping the frontage road and that it will be a great help to Mendota residents who now must ride their bikes on T.H. 110. She pointed out that it would be very dangerous to cross at the bridge to the south frontage road. Mr. Libby pointed out that the City of Mendota now takes a tremendous amount of water from the highway and that the frontage road will intercept the water. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that this is not a public hearing but rather that Mn/DOT was Page No. 3000 May 7, 1991 invited to give an overview of the Mendota Interchange Project. Mrs. Linda Linsmaier asked Council to reconsider its action on the cul-de-sac versus the frontage road. Mayor Mertensotto stated that there is a large audience present and reconsideration of the action would just pit neighbor against neighbor. He pointed out that when the Glenhill area residents bought their properties there were two points of access but they are now asking for a cul-de-sac. Others are asking that two access points be retained. He further pointed out that the Mn/DOT representatives have just stated that there are greater concerns, including surface water drainage, than just the Culligan area in designing the project and the frontage road. Mn/DOT has planned the road design and Council would be hard-pressed, after nearly 50 years of planning, to say that the frontage road is not necessary. Mr. Libby stated that the frontage road is part of a_bigger plan and that Mn/DOT has considered everything. He further stated that if the City had a border with a different community Mn/DOT would hopefully help both communities just as it is now trying to serve both Mendota Heights and Mendota. Mr. Jerry Shaughnessy stated that he feels it is time to bring the cul-de-sac back before the Council in a formal setting and to formally request that it be on an agenda. Mayor Mertensotto responded that at the present time there are two access points into the neighborhood, that safety of the s -curve was the issue at past discussions. Mn/DOT representatives have stated that there will be no problem designing a safe frontage road, and all that opening the issue again would do is pit neighbors against each other. Councilmember Cummins stated that he was inclined towards the cul-de-sac option but voted with the majority of Council to allow himself the ability to move to reconsider. His reaction after listening to the Mn/DOT presentation was felt that everyone is over- reacting.to the traffic issue and pointed out Page No. 3001 May 7, 1991 that while his biggest concern was the safety factor on the s -curve design, Mn/DOT has indicated that there will be no safety problem. Councilmember Blesener stated that Council has been informed that the neighborhood had been notified that the discussion this evening would only relate to the Mn/DOT presentation on the Interchange Project. She stated that if there is to be any discussion on considering reconsideration of past action, tonight is not the time for it. Councilmember Smith stated that she would like to see traffic counts on Hunter and Glenhill and that she does not know which way people enter and leave the area. Mr. Thomas Gavin spoke in favor of reconfirming the dual access. Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that Council made a decision several months ago to retain two access points and the action would not be reconsidered unless there is some over- riding concern from some members of the Council. He stated that there is no regulation requiring that there be a public hearing with respect to frontage road design. He pointed out that dual access is the best design from a planning standpoint and that Council's policy of dual access will stand. Mr. Jack Barber thanked Mn/DOT for designing a grade on Glenhill that is two percent safer than the grade on Hunter Lane. ST. PETER'S CHURCH Council acknowledged a report from the Public UTILITY EXTENSION Works Director regarding a proposed joint powers agreement with the City of Mendota relative to utility extension to St. Peter's Church. Mr. Danielson stated that at its last meeting Council received the feasibility report and discussed connection to the Mendota sewer which is a solution to serving St. Peter's Church. Council approved the study and directed staff to prepare the joint agreement. After brief discussion, Public Works Director Danielson was directed to present the agreement to the City of Mendota. Page No. 3002 May 7, 1991 TARGET ISSUES Discussion on 1991 City Target issues was tabled to May 21st. COUNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Mertensotto stated that he has been contacted by Mr. Dale Johnson, 2349 Dodd Road regarding surface water problems. The matter was referred to the Public Works Director. Councilmember Koch stated that there is standing water on the Ivy Falls Park basketball courts which doesn't drain away. Public Works Director Danielson stated that staff will prepare a report for the next meeting. Councilmember Blesener stated that the Planning Commission should be asked to define what it wants and be more specific when recommending conditions - such as the condition for additional landscaping in the Mueller conditional use permit case. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilmember Cummins moved that the meeting be adjourned to closed session for discussion on pending litigation. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 10:35 o'clock P.M. Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk ATTEST: Charles E.

Chair John Huber called the meeting to order at 7:15 p.m. o'clock p.m. The following members were present: Huber. Commissioners Kleinglass, Katz, Damberg and Hunter were excused. Commissioners Lundeen and Spicer were absent. Staff members present were Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander and Administrative Assistant Kevin Batchelder. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chair John Huber stated that no formal action could be taken tonight due to lack of a quorum. Huber stated that he was disappointed in the attendance of the Parks Commission, especially as tonight's agenda had quite a number of action items for recommendations to City Council. Batchelder stated that some action items would proceed to City Council without a recommendation because of time constraints, others would be held over. The April 9, 1991 minutes were held over until the June meeting. MAYFIELD HEIGHTS TRAIL LINK Ms. Judith Phillips, of Mayfield Heights neighborhood, was present to inquire about staff progress on exploring trail, options for the Mayfield Heights neighborhood. Batchelder stated that he and James Danielson, Public Works Director, had identified a trail section from Mayfield Heights through the City holding pond, through Overlook Condominiums, through a single family lot to Douglas Road as being the next best feasible option after the original attempt. Batchelder stated that he had made a proposal and presentation to the Overlook Condominium Homeowner's Association on Friday evening about acquiring trail easements through their property. Batchelder stated that they had thanked him for the proposal and stated they would consider it. Batchelder stated that it did not appear hopeful, but. that the Overlook Association would be contacting him and that a response in writing would be forthcoming. Ms. Phillips inquired what would happen next if this option is not feasible. Batchelder stated that staff would look at other trail possibilities and bring it to the June Parks Commission meeting. ADOPT -A -PARR Batchelder stated that Gopher State One Call Service had continued working with the City to adopt a park for a cleanup. Batchelder stated that the documents included in the agenda packet were the proposed permit registration, the terms and conditions between the City and adopting organizations, a safety tips brochure and details on coordinating with the Parks Leadperson. Batchelder stated that this program had been worked out after staff had been contacted by Gopher State One Call Service about their interest in a park clean up. Chair Huber stated that the Parks Commission had expressed their enthusiasm at the last meeting and had directed staff to put together a program. Batchelder stated that Gopher State One Call Service was conducting a park cleanup in Roger's Lake Park on Saturday, May 18, in order to get started before foliage becomes too thick. He stated they desired to do this even if the City does not approve the program. Chair Huber stated he felt this was a good program and encouraged City/Community cooperation. Huber stated that the signs and trash bags could be funded out of the Special Parks fund this year and during the 1992 budget process in could be attempted to be placed in park maintenance. Huber concurred that staff should proceed to the Council on May 21 with this request. MENDAKOTA PARK VENDORS LEASE PROPOSAL Kullander introduced a proposed contract for operating the concessions at the new Mendakota Park comfort station that he had received from Gene and Harriet Will, of Mendota Heights. Kullander stated that the Parks Commission and the City Council would need to determine what level of operation, rental and leasing was appropriate for the concession stand. He stated that he had informed the Will's that the City would need to consider a policy for operation of the concessions before they could consider a lease. Kullander stated that any lease would have to go through a public Request for Proposal bidding, should it be determined that leasing the concessions is appropriate. Huber inquired about options other than leasing. Kullander stated that the options were: 1) leasing to a sole, exclusive vendor under a contract; 2) City operation with employees and an inventory; 3) allowing civic groups, such as Mend -Eagan or the Fire Department, to rent for given occasions; 4) a simple reservation and check out the key program. Kullander stated that he felt a contract situation would be the easiest to supervise. Huber referred this discussion until the June meeting. CHANGE ORDERS TO MENDAKOTA CONTRACT Kullander stated that he was presenting two change orders for consideration. First, he stated was the need for a three compartment sink at the comfort station, and, second, was the reconsideration of a drinking fountain at the picnic pavilion. Kullander stated that the State Health Inspectors would insist on the three compartment sink if the concessions area operates on a regular basis with the ability to sell more than canned pop, wrapped candy and bagged chips, for example hot dogs, sno- cones and popcorn. Kullander stated that he had received a quote of $700 for the sink plus installation. He was seeking direction to prepare the necessary change order documents for City Council approval. Chair Huber inquired if this could wait until the June meeting. Kullander responded that the plumber would be working there next week. Huber directed Kullander to proceed to City Council. Kullander stated that the second change order involved the reconsideration of the second drinking fountain to be located at the picnic pavilion/band shell area. Kullander stated that this would serve the people using the picnic area and the children on the play equipment. He stated there would also be a hose bib for the parks maintenance crews. Kullander stated this was considered once before at a time prior to the low bids that were received and costs were being trimmed. He estimated the cost at $2,500. Huber directed staff to proceed to City Council for approval with direction that the fountain and installation not exceed $2,500. POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST Kullander presented a request for $1,000 of funding to provide the Police Department with three bicycles for the purpose of patrolling the bicycle trails in the City. Kullander stated that Police Chief Delmont had raised the possibility of the Parks Fund providing the funds for this item. Chair Huber stated that he felt this should proceed through the 1992 budgeting process. He stated that he felt that if this was an enforcement issue it should be considered in the Police department budget. Huber stated that he had received comments from the neighborhoods about kids on mini -bikes on the trails. He stated he felt a park and trails patrol was worth serious consideration. SIBLEY FIELD USE Chair John Huber stated he had placed this on the agenda out of a concern about using the Sibley fields too early before the grass is established. Kullander reported that the contractor still had to provide soil and seeding work before the final payment. He stated that after the City has determined that the fields are ready for use then the School District takes over the scheduling under the terms of the contract. Kullander stated that Sibley will maintain the fields and that he knows the athletic department is concerned about the health of the fields too, and that they consider these prime fields. Huber stated he is concerned for the soccer field which tend to get heavy cleat wear and tear. Huber directed staff to present a summary of the Sibley Park Joint Powers Agreement to the Park Commission at the June meeting, for informational purposes. PLAY EQUIPMENT MENDAKOTA PARK Kullander presented the comparisons he had prepared on the three play equipment proposals the Commission had received at the April meeting. Kullander stated it was his opinion that Earl Anderson Co. had superior quality materials, construction, design and safety features. He stated that Earl Anderson Co. was the only proposal that has demonstrated experience in the construction of handicapped accessible play equipment. Kullander stated that Value Recreation had heavy duty materials. He stated that each proposal had roughly equivalent numbers of play events, while Flanigan Sales had more decking. Kullander stated that he had visited sites of each vendor and that Value and Flanigan site visits showed an inferior product. He stated that his site visits to Earl Anderson equipment had shown a need to change the original design and add components that were the "most sought after" by children observed using the equipment. Kullander stated that Earl Anderson Co. used aluminum pole products so that rust was not a problem as it would be with the other two vendors. Kullander stated that Anderson is locally supplied. Chair Huber stated that Earl Anderson Co. had a good track record with last years play equipment construction and that it would take an evidently superior proposal to outbid them. Huber stated he felt Anderson's bid supplied the City with the best all around product. Kullander stated that he had scheduled this item for City Council consideration on May 21 and that he would work with Earl Anderson and Company to add some additional components before the bid details are finalized. THE ROLE OF THE PARK COMMISSION Chair Huber continued this item until the June meeting. VERBAL UPDATES Batchelder stated that the Mendakota Estates neighborhood, through their representative Keith Heaver, had decided not pursue the tennis court they had originally desired to have constructed as part of the City park construction. Batchelder stated that Mr. Heaver had indicated that the neighborhood may wish to consider this in the future when there are more neighbors to help spread the cost of the construction. Batchelder stated that City Administrator Tom Lawell had met with ISD -197 Superintendent Bruce Anderson about providing backstops and benches for the ballfields at the schools. Batchelder stated that it was the City's intention to consider providing these amenities at Mendota and Somerset elementary schools but that the school district was interested in additional sites at Sibley. He stated that the school district would be putting a request together and presenting it to the City. Kullander provided a description of the Sibley touch ups and the construction status of the 1990 projects in the neighborhood parks and trails. Kullander described the progress at Mendakota Park. Kullander stated he had been contacted by a soccer group from West St. Paul/Mendota Heights outside of Mend -Eagan who decried the City's undersized soccer fields. He stated this organization claimed 500 soccer players and that they desired larger soccer fields. Kullander stated he had advised them to submit their concerns in writing and that they would be contacted when the SE Area park is developed. Batchelder stated that he had been contacted by the Senior Tennis Association who again wished to reserve Valley Park tennis courts in the mornings on Tuesday and Wednesday. Batchelder stated that the City had a sign from last year and that staff would authorize the reservation.

There were no structure dollar loss fires during the month in any of our contract areas or Mendota Heights. TRAINING The monthly departmental drill for March was spent with a state instructor, Joe Heitzig, familiarizing our firefighters with the proper procedures to follow in the event of a school bus accident involving a number of injuries and also how to conduct extrication, and the use of proper tools to get victims from the bus. The March squad drills worked on improving firefighter skill on forcible entry techniques. The objectives were to improve firefighter skills in forcible entry and give them knowledge of the mechanical functioning of different tools used in forcible entry along with thinking about safety of themselves and other firefighters when they are utilizing these tools.

MEN/RUN 17.13 16.14 18.57 AV °/ R YEAR 49.06 49.07 SYNOPSIS The•fire department responded to 24 calls during the month of April. of these calls, 10 calls were for actual extinguishment of fires. The department also responded to a vehicle extrication and two were Mutual Aid call to Inver Grove Heights. The two Mutual Aid calls to Inver Grove Heights were on April 6th and April 27th where we assisted in the extinguishment of major grass fires. Eight of the ten fires that we responded to and extinguished were also grass fires, three in contract areas and 5 within the City. Two of the calls were considered structure fires. The first structure fire call was received on April 3, 1991, to an address on Knollwood Lane. Faulty components inside a combination microwave and oven shorted out causing the oven itself to catch fire. Damage was kept to a minimum and we assisted in evacuating smoke from the house. Damage to the contents of the house was approximately $200. The second structure fire that we responded to was on April 20, 1991 at 12:10 P.M. to the Lilydale Pool & Yacht Club. This fire had the potential of being very serious. The fire started in the basement area in a laundry dryer when rags ignited. Quick thinking by the attendant who was taking care of the dryer and the timely response of Investigator Larry Bridger with the use of portable fire extinguishers kept the fire confined to the dryer. Even though fire damage itself was confined to the dryer area there was significant smoke accumulation throughout the building. We were able to evacuate the smoke from the complete structure very quickly so smoke damage was kept to a minimum. Total dollar loss to the contents was approximately $100 and the cause was listed as excessive lint buildup in the gas dryer. TRAINING The monthly departmental drill for April was spent on training in pumping operations with all departmental type vehicles. The department was split up into squads and all four pumpers were taken out and operated. The monthly squad drills were spent stretching out hose, changing hose load and testing all fire department hose. Twelve firefighters also completed their training in Hazardous Materials Level I and ten firefighters completed the First Responder Training classes. Both of these classes were 40 hour classes.

We have received quotes from Action Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $7,100 and Recreational Surfacers in the amount of $8,930. Action Enterprises, Inc. has done work for us in the past and we were satisfied with their work. RECOMMENDATION• I recommend that Council accept the quotes and award the purchase order to Action Enterprises, Inc. for their quote of $7,100.

JED: dfw CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 17, 1991 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: James E. Dani Public Work s%ireSUBJECT: Improvemencorah Lane INTRODUCTION: I recently received a call from Mrs. Peg Eilers, 741 Decorah Lane, requesting that the City improve Decorah Lane in the near future. I suggested that she forward a letter supporting the improvement of Decorah Lane (see attached). DISCUSSION• Decorah Lane is in very bad shape, beyond seal coat help, it needs an overlay or total reconstruction. It is not unsafe however, and staff will continue to fill the potholes and level the road to keep it serviceable until such time as the City can do an improvement project. Friendly Hills streets were identified as second priority in the street rehabilitation program that was considered by Council in 1989 (see attached table). That program was tabled by Council in 1989, but has been identified as a High Priority Target Goal for 1991. Staff could bring the street rehabilitation issue back to Council early this summer for reconsideration. RECOMMENDATION• I recommend that the improvement of Decorah Lane be consid- ered in conjunction with the City's Street Rehabilitation Policy sometime this summer. ACTION REOUIRED: If Council desires to implement the recommendation they should set a date for consideration of the Street Rehabilitation Policy. I suggest the first meeting in July to reconsider the policy.

Due to the fact that Decorah Lane, which is the main thorough- fare from Dodd (Highway 149) through Friendly Hills to the new additions, Delaware Crossing, Copperfield, etc, it is long overdue in being resurfaced. We would appreciate immediate attention to this matter, sooner than the two years proposed time frame. I am sure you are aware of the terrible condition this street is in and has been for the past several years. This was undoubtedly caused by the heavy construction equipment traveling on Decorah Lane for almost 10 years now. Thank you in advance for your attention in this matter. Sincerely, Peg i lers Ernest Eilers cc/file PE/eae LIST OF CONTRACTORS TO BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL May 21, 1991 Masonry License Heinlein, John -Const., Inc. Excavating Licenses Rauchwarter, Inc.

City of Mendota Heights Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 91-26 RESOLUTION URGING THE METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION IN THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION TO IMMEDIATELYr_ IMPLEMENT THE BLUE RIBBON CORRIDOR TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION WHEREAS, in December 1990 the City of Mendota Heights requested the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council to consider a revised corridor departure procedure for aircraft departing Runways 11L and 11R at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, and WHEREAS, the City's request was directed to a specially formed Blue Ribbon Corridor Task Force which deliberated on the -corridor revision alternatives until January 30, 1991, and WHEREAS, a revised corridor use procedure was developed which establishes a 100 degree bearing, measured from the Runway 29R middle marker compass locator beacon as the northern boundary of the Mendota Heights/Eagan Corridor, and WHEREAS, the revised corridor use procedures also establish specific air traffic control procedures during both simultaneous and non -simultaneous departure conditions which seek to minimize the air noise impacts on the City of Mendota Heights, and WHEREAS, the final recommendation of the Blue Ribbon Task Force was unanimously approved by all task force participants including the cities of Mendota Heights and Eagan, the Metropolitan Airports Commission, the Metropolitan Council, and the Federal Aviation Administration, and WHEREAS, the task force participants were lead to believe that the implementation of the revised corridor use procedure would occur in the Spring of 1991, and WHEREAS, as of May 21, 1991 no definite word from the Metropolitan Airports Commission or the Federal Aviation Administration regarding the implementation of the revised corridor use procedure has been received. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights requests that the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration use all efforts possible to insure the immediate implementation of --the Blue Ribbon Task Force final recommendation as adopted on January 30, 1991, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution be immediately transmitted to Mr. Jeffrey Hamiel, MAC and Mr. Jeffrey Griffith, FAA with the request that a response be returned to the City of Mendota Heights as soon as possible. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 21st day of May, 1991. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Charles E. Mertensotto, Mayor ATTEST: a thleen M.' Swanson, City Clerk 2,,,L,te, cl . - N EMoRAND M TO: Guy Kullander May 20, 1991 The discussion that you and Keith had last week was very enlightening and we appreciate the opportunity to present our program and needs directly to you. You mentioned that Dick Spicer represented us in Parks development discussion. Many of us consider Dick a friend and respect him.. However, Dick is not involved with our program and is not qualified to represent soccer. Mend -Eagan does not have a traveling or stumker program and therefore cannot represent our needs either. I. The Sibley Sting Program The Sibley StiM Program is a newly formed traveliMprogram for players over age 10 and who are the most skilled. In 1990, we coampleted our first year. We had eight teams - 4 in boys and 4 in girls. This year we are expanding to 10 teams. We play against the biggest and best programs in the State and enter the major tournaments. In our first year, one team made it to the State Tint and placed 2nd in the Star of the North Tournament which is a very prestigious soccer tournament. Other teams took 1st or 2nd in a few lesser known, but strong, tournaments. The Sibley Sting competes directly with the best school districts in the State. The program runs May through August 4. There are about 150 registered Sting players and 51 live in Mendota Heists. We'11'give you a roster when we meet. II. The West St. Paul Program Om 1%Tevt, St. Paul program is a closely associated: progzam wbirh is for younger players (under age 12). Younger players who are cut from the Sibley traveling program will play in the West St. Paul program. The West St. Paul program has about 300 players and about 100 live in Mendota He ts. We share the extremely limited mmber • of fields in this district. Unfortunately, while a third of the players crane from Mendota Heights, our community provides no practice or game fields for either Progr"an- III. Mend -Eagan Soccer As you are aware, the city provides no completely dedicated soccer field for the Fall program. A Baseball diamond cannot be converted to an appropriate sized Soccer field. Likewise, you don't convert Soccer fields to adequate Baseball diamonds. The Fall Soccer program has grown significantly and needs a soccer dedicated field. IV. Our Field Needs With the successful growth of numbers in Soccer we are desperate for fields this summer. We have four fields (Steilow, Moreland, West St. Paul Complex North, West St. Paul Couplex-South). Starting June 1 these fields will be reserved for games by the Sibley Stung and West St. Paul programs, leaving no practice space. We have been turned dawn by the School District for additional fields as "Dick Spicer has had those fields for Baseball". St. Thomas, Brady, Visitation and St. Croix Iutheran have also turned us down due to Softball or insurance concerns. For players 10 and up there is no space that we can get anywhere. X Memorandum to Guy Kullander Page Two Clearly, our teams are at a huge disadvantage compared to the teams we play against. cottage Grove, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Bloomington, Edina, Rosemozmt, Lakeville, and others in our league have splendid facilities with two to four adjacent fields on one site. V. Mat Mendota Heights Can Do to be Helpful A. Clearly, we need closer ccmWnlCatlon so we build appropriate sized fields, and get our needs before you. Age 12 to 14 need a field that is 110 yards long and 70 yards wide. Ages 14 to 19 need 120 long and 80 wide. Everywhere we play have fields of these dimensions. The new Sibley field does not meet these needs without expanding way too close to the b=x1ary fences. If this is done the ball will be out of play most of the time and close fences will be a safety hazard. other cities we play aaainst have proper sized fields. Why can't Mendota Hgjgcits provide one appropriately sized field? West St. Paul has one for age 12 to 19 players and one for under 12. B. Between June and August 4, we would like to request some practice areas from you with appropriate sized goal posts. Shooting at correct sized goalposts with a net is an absolute necessity if our teams are to compete. c. Toe next complex, under construction, siicxad piov'ide a� field sized -for players age 12 and up, like that found in other communities. It needs to be 120 yards long and about 80 yarns or more wide. In summary, about one-third of the players in the Sibley Sting program and the West St. Paul House program are Mendota Heights players. •Yet, Mendota Heights provides no fields. The new Sibley field will be an acceptable practice field next year, but we need help this summer. The Sibley field will not be a good game field due to the small size and the constant problem of balls going over the fences for players 12 and up. Lastly, Baseball can shorten its fences which creates more home runs - players view this as a positive experience. Wien Soccer fields are squeezed dawn, it makes for a congested experience and not fun for the- players. It is also a safety hazard playing in a congested area. It is analogous to playing hockey on 2/3 sized rink. It is dangerous arra no fun!! Guy, we really need your help on this. We'll contact you in a few days.

In order to insure that the issue remains at the forefront of air noise related concerns, it is recommended that the attached be adopted for delivery to the MAC and the FAA. DISCUSSION• As you may recall, the revised Corridor Use Procedure established a northern boundary for aircraft departing MSP on runway 11L, and also established specific air traffic control procedures which serve to keep aircraft as far south as possible within Mendota Heights. Although no specific promises were offered, we were hopeful that these procedures would be implemented this spring so our residents could immediately begin to experience some relief from the air noise problem. On several occasions we have been told by MAC officials that the implementation of the revised procedures would begin "in a matter of weeks" but to date, we have heard nothing definite. In order to once again raise the issue with the MAC and the FAA, the attached Resolution has been prepared to bring the issue to the forefront. In the Resolution, both the MAC and the FAA are specifically asked to respond to the City regarding the status of the Blue Ribbon Task Force recommendation. ACTION REQUIRED: Should the Council wish to adopt the attached Resolution, a motion should be made to adopt Resolution 91-26, a Resolution urging the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration to immediately implement the Blue Ribbon Corridor Task Force recommendation. 5�21�w� 11COI:i' IRA1FP CONSULTING; 13LANNERS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS 300 FIRST AVENUE NORTH SUITE 210 MINNEAPOLIS, MN 5.5401 612.339.3300 MEMORANDUM DATE: 21'May 1991 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Tim Malloy, Consulting Planner RE: Preliminary Results of the SE Area Scoping Study The Southeast Area of Mendota Heights has been the subject of considerable concern over the years. This area was the focus of a land use study that was conducted by our firm in 1985 and resulted in an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The proposed amendment, which included medium and high density residential uses, met with resistance at that time by the residents of the single-family neighborhoods that were located adjacent to the study area. Figure 1 shows the boundaries of the original study area and identifies the area that will be the focus of much of our discussion in this memorandum. The most recent chapter of this area's history is marked by the denial of a request for a rezoning and preliminary plat approval to allow a minced use residential project proposed by the Centex Corporation and Tandem Inc. The Corporations subsequently filed a lawsuit against the City. In addition to the issues related to the Kensington project, as the mixed use PUD project was known, the City has expressed concern regarding several other factors affecting the ultimate development of the Southeast Area. The principal land use related concerns expressed throughout the process of reviewing the Kensington project were: airport noise, traffic, and parks. Another obvious concern regards the project's compatibility with the recently developed single-family residential area directly north of the subject property. In response to these concerns, the City has commissioned Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban, Inc., together with the transportation planning firm of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson, to reexamine the land use issues within the portion of the Southeast Area that contains the largest remaining developable property. The reduced study area is bounded on the north by Mendota Heights Road and on the South by Interstate 494. 'The eastern boundary is defined by Delaware Avenue and the western boundary coincides with the eastern property line of the first phase of the Kensington development (see Figure 2). Southeast Area Scoping Study 21 May 1991 Page 2 What follows is a summary of the findings of the first phase of this study. The overall intent is to identify an appropriate land use pattern for the area within the study boundary based on current conditions and to prepare the necessary materials for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan should one be required. The first phase of the study is intended to identify whether changes have occurred in key development factors since the original Southeast Area Study was done. At the end of this phase, a recommendation will be made regarding whether to continue the study and identify the issues to be examined in the remaining phases. Based on the information in this phase, the City may redefine its goals and policies regarding development in the study area. The key factors that will be examined in this phase include: airport noise, traffic, surrounding land use and property ownership, and park and recreation needs. These factors were selected because they are the ones most likely to have changed significantly in the intervening six years since the original study was conducted and because they are the issues that generated the most concern during the meetings for the Kensington Phase II project. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND OWNERSHIP In 1985, when the original study for this area was done, Interstate 494 was nearing completion along the south side of the City. Due to the Southeast Area's proximity to both I-494 and the soon-to-be completed final leg of I -35E into downtown St Paul, the City was experiencing pressure to rezone the area, which was then designated for very low density residential use, to allow dramatic increases in the density of development. The City recognized the need to carefully reassess its land use policy for the Southeast Area and undertook the Southeast Area Study. The 1985 Study included an inventory of natural features such as topography, vegetation, soils, wetlands, and stormwater runoff. Since none of these factors has changed dramatically within the current study area, we will not be reviewing them at this time. Figure 3 illustrates the basic land use and transportation pattern surrounding the Southeast Area at the time the original study was conducted. The area was surrounded primarily by single-family residential development and parks and open space land. The exceptions to this condition included the Visitation School and St. Thomas Academy High School, which together formed the northern boundary for the narrow portion. of the study area located west of Dodd Road and south of Mendota Heights Road. In addition, the entire study area was bounded on the south by I-494. This principal arterial roadway forms a substantial barrier between Mendota Heights and the office/industrial development occurring south of the freeway in northern Eagan. The original study area was divided east/west by Dodd Road, a minor arterial. In 1985 Mendota Heights Road terminated slightly east of Dodd Road. Since that time this roadway has been completed through to Delaware Avenue. Mendota Heights Road is identified as a thoroughfare on the City's Transportation Plan and functions as a collector distributor between Delaware Avenue and Highway 55 on the north side of I-494. The potential for increased traffic along this roadway as a result of developments in Eagan and Inver Grove Heights has been one of the main concerns for area residents. This issue as well as other traffic related concerns will be discussed in greater detail by Bob Byers of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson in a memo included at the end of this report. Southeast Area Scoping Study 21 May 1991 Page 3 Most of the land within the Study Area was vacant, privately owned property in 1985 (see Figure 4). However, there were a handful of single-family homes generally grouped together in several locations within the area. Independent School District 197 owned approximately 80 acres that they were holding in the event they would need to construct an additional elementary school or junior high school. The site was big enough for two schools. The current land use and ownership patterns surrounding the Reduced Study Area are illustrated on Figures 5 and 6. Nothing outside the boundaries of the original study area has changed significantly. However, much of the land within the original study area has been developed. In Figure 5 we can see that the area east of Friendly Hills is now occupied by the single-family developments of Copperfield and Hampshire Estates. This development is consistent with the land use anticipated for this area in the amended Land Use Guide Plan (see Figure 7). These developments are characterized by large relatively expensive single-family homes interspersed among several small ponds and wetlands. These developments also resulted in the establishment of two neighborhood parks. One provides active recreation facilities and the other is primarily intended for passive open space and trials. The level of investment that has occurred in this area, in the form of high cost single-family housing, has created some new concerns regarding land use compatibility for the remaining developable property south of Mendota Heights Road. Another significant single-family residential development is currently under construction in the area immediately east of Dodd Road and north of Mendota Heights Road. Bridgeview Shores, as the development is known, will occupy roughly the eastern two-thirds of the property originally owned by Independent School District 197. Lois Rockney, Director of Business Affairs for the School District, indicated that the district recently completed a needs analysis that showed a slight increase in enrollment. As a result, the district intends to continue to hold their remaining property in the Southeast Area. However, Ms Rockney also indicated that there is room on the grounds of other School District properties within the City to accommodate an additional elementary or junior high school, should one be needed in the future. The future development potential of the School Districts remaining property north of Mendota Heights Road may influence the ultimate land use pattern in this area should it become available. This issue should be given further consideration. In addition to the single-family development discussed above, there has also been multi -family development activity within the Southeast Area. The first phase of the Kensington development is under construction and includes 136 manor homes. This development occupies approximately 22 acres and is located midway between Dodd Road and Delaware Avenue on the south side of Mendota Heights Road. This development consists of two-story, four and eight plex structures with shared entries and attached garages. Future development within the Reduced Study Area will be adjacent to this development. Kensington Phase I is consistent with the land use contemplated for this area in the amended Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan (Figure 7). Generally land use within and surrounding the boundaries of the original Southeast Area Study is consistent with the intent and findings of the study and the subsequently adopted amendment to the Land Use Guide Plan. In other words, what has been built is what was planned for. Southeast Area Scoping Study 21 May 1991 Page 4 PARK NEEDS The 1979 Comprehensive Plan included a Parks and Recreation Element, which included an inventory of existing parks and open space facilities, and a summary of future park needs. Recommendations regarding the location of future parks were also discussed. At that time, the City had 174.2 acres of park land. This did not include any of the significant regional open space facilities located in and around the City of Mendota Heights, such as Dodge Nature Center, Fort Snelling State Park, and Lilydale Regional Park. Based on a projected maximum population of 11,000 to 13,000, the plan called for an additional 115 acres of park land. The total recommended park land for the City in the 1979 Comprehensive Plan was 289.2 acres. The City currently has 295.5 acres of park land as indicated on Table 1. While these acreage figures would seem to indicate that the City has adequate park land, it is important to note that a good park system depends not only on adequate land area, but also on having the right park in the right place. The 1979 Land Use Plan designated four future parks within the Southeast Area (see Figure 8). One of these was to be an extension of Friendly Hills Park to include two of the ponds on the east side of Huber Drive. This area was dedicated for park use when the Copperfield development was platted. This land is intended to serve as passive open space and includes walking trails around the ponds. Two of the future parks identified in the 1979 Plan were intended to be neighborhood parks, one north and the other south of Mendota Heights Road. Hagstrom-King Park, which was dedicated when the Hampshire Estates subdivision was platted, represents the neighborhood park on the north side of Mendota Heights Road. The remaining neighborhood park would be located within the Reduced Study Area. In addition to the neighborhood parks and passive open space, the 1979 Plan called for a community park to be located on the eastern portion of the School District property. This park was initially intended to provide two softball fields and one soccer field, as well as other support facilities. Since that time much work has been done to refine the recreation facility needs for the City of Mendota Heights including the Park and Recreation Facility Needs Study that was conducted by Barton-Aschman in 1985. This study included an in-depth inventory of existing park land and the recreational facilities offered at each park. Figure 9, taken from this study, illustrates the parks and open space distribution at the time the Southeast Area Study was conducted. The solid black areas on Figure 9 represents the City -owned parks that have been added to the system since 1985. All of these except Copperfield I and II are active recreation parks. To allow a more detailed analysis, the City was divided into nine planning neighborhoods. The portion of the Southeast Area guided for residential use is located entirely within Neighborhood Number 9, known as Friendly Hills. The Barton-Aschman study identified a need for two neighborhood parks in this portion of the Southeast Area. This is consistent with the recommendation found in the 1979 Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the study identified specific recreation facilities that were considered to be in short supply in Mendota Heights when compared with recreation planning standards. The list of needed facilities included: five full-sized softball fields, two soccer fields, one baseball field, six to eight hard surface multi -use courts, two hockey rinks and two Southeast Area Scoping Study 21 May 1991 Page 5 freeskating ice rinks. These needs are based on standards as of 1985. Some sources indicate an increase in the popularity of soccer regionally. Further analysis should be done to reflect the most current standards. Subsequent to the completion of the needs study, the City passed a park referendum. During that process it was determined that an additional eight softball fields were needed, bringing the total need for softball fields to thirteen. For a time the property owned by the school district within the Southeast Area was considered a prime candidate as a site for a community park to provide some of the needed active recreation facilities. However, since 1985 the City has developed several new parks and added active recreational facilities at some of the previously existing parks. Recent additions to the park system include Mendakota Park and the facility north of Sibley High School. Table 2 lists all of the parks in the City as of 1991 and the facilities they offer. The shaded areas represent those parks and facilities that have been added to the system since 1985. This preliminary analysis suggests that the City is coming close to fulfilling its recreation needs, not only in terms of acreage, but also in active recreation facilities. According to the 1985 Park and Recreation Facility Needs Study, there are facility shortages only in the areas of hockey, freeskating, and softball. As a result, park needs in the vicinity of the reduced study area are significantly less than they were in 1985. A neighborhood park would still be necessary in the area south of Mendota Heights Road, but the size of the park and the facilities offered could be cut back to that of a neighborhood park. The standards for a neighborhood park suggest a size of 3 to 10 acres, offering such facilities as play structures,'softball fields, multi -use paved area, court games, open play space, and passive recreation space of up to 50 percent of the total acreage. The remaining three softball fields needed could be accommodated in this park. AIRCRAFT NOISE The topic of aircraft noise is one with a long and very complex history in the communities of Mendota Heights and Eagan. There are reams of paper and numerous studies devoted to analyzing virtually every aspect of airport operations. A full review of all that has transpired since 1985 regarding this issue is clearly beyond the scope of this summary memo. However, in light of the recent recommendation of the MAC Corridor Task Force we believe a brief review of the facts and policies related to land use compatibility with aircraft noise is appropriate. In the following paragraphs we will summarize and compare airport operations during the period prior to and including 1985 with similar information for 1990. In addition we will review the Metropolitan Council's original policies regarding land use compatibility with aircraft noise, including the Model Noise Attenuation Ordinance and some of the assumptions that were used to develop it. We will also review current projections for future aircraft operations over the Eagan/Mendota Heights area. Finally, we will review the proposed modification to the Eagan/Mendota Heights corridor as recently recommended by the MAC Corridor Task Force and discuss the effect this modification could have on development in the Reduced Study Area. Southeast Area Scoping Study 21 May 1991 Page 6 The number of aircraft operations over the Eagan/Mendota Heights area rose sharply during the five years prior to 1985 as a result of the 1978 Deregulation Act and the development of the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) as a hub. Average daily operations at MSP jumped from 450 in 1978 to roughly 1,100 in 1985. The number of total operations peaked in 1986 and declined slightly in 1987 and 1988 due to Northwest Airlines merger with Republic and an increase in the number of passengers per flight. The total number of passengers carried (enplanements) has increased every year since 1980. Table 3 illustrates key information regarding aircraft operations for the years 1985, 1989 and 1990. This table reflects the general increase in operations between 1989 and 1990. The numbers for the total operations over Eagan and Mendota Heights for 1990 are skewed by the fact that runway 11L/29R was undergoing construction during the summer of that year. The numbers for the first three months of 1991 already indicate a slight increase in operations over 1990. Figure 10 depicts the predicted increase in total annual operations at MSP through the year 2018. This figure, taken from the report of the Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport Adequacy Study Task Force prepared for the Metropolitan Council in 1988, assumes that operations would continue to grow unconstrained and, thus, implies some improvements tothe airport to increase capacity. Such improvements are currently being studied by the Metropolitan Airports Commission as part of the dual track policy for managing future air traffic needs. Under this policy MAC is simultaneously studying the options of moving the airport and expanding the existing MSP. Proposals for the expansion of the existing airport include three different runway expansion alternatives, two of which have a third runway parallel to the existing 11 and 29 runways. Under either of these scenarios, the communities of Eagan and Mendota Heights will experience an increase in overflights. Figure 10 illustrates that, assuming expansion of the existing MSP, the number of total annual airport operations will likely increase to 460,000 by the year 2000. This represents a 21 percent increase over 1990. The various sources are not quite in agreement with respect to their projections for the year 2010, but even the most conservative projection reflects an increase of almost 45 percent over the current annual operations. Regardless of which of the airport expansion options is pursued, the lag time between planning and implementation will most likely result in a worsening of the aircraft noise conditions in the Southeast Area for an interim period that could be as long as ten years. The recent recommendation of the MAC Corridor Task Force, while reducing the area over which aircraft will be scheduled to fly, would result in a significant increase in noise -related stress in the Reduced Study Area. Figure 11 shows the relationship of the proposed flight path modifications to the existing Eagan/Mendota Heights corridor and to the Reduced Study Area. While the black lines on this figure represent the recommended headings that would be assigned to aircraft for departure and arrival, the gray tone represents the general area within which most aircraft overflights would probably occur. By narrowing the corridor in this way, the number of flights directly over the Reduced Study Area would be increased. Southeast Area Scoping Study 21 May 1991 Page 7 According to the Adequacy Study Advisory Task Force, there is evidence that an increase in the frequency of overflights, in areas where the number of overflights is already high a will more than offset the value of any reduction in noise attributed to quieter aircraft engines. As a result noise -related stress in these areas would increase as air traf1% grows. This brings us to the question of whether the City's current land use compatibility is adequate to insure a reasonable quality of life within the reduced study area. The City's current policy centers around its Noise Attenuation Ordinance that is patterned after the Metropolitan Council's model ordinance. This ordinance was designed to categorize a land use into one of four compatibility groups based on its location with respect to the four noise zones (see Table 4). These noise zones were established utilizing the Ldn measure of aircraft noise. Recent studies indicate that while noise -related stress and the Ldn level are closely related, the Ldn measure alone is not sufficient to explain how different aspects of noise affect people's degree of stress. Based on the projected increase in aircraft operations and the potential modification to the corridor headings, the City may wish to reevaluate its land use policy within the Reduced Study Area regarding compatibility with aircraft noise. Of the communities surrounding the MSP, the City of Mendota Heights is the only one that has adopted the Metropolitan Council's Noise Attenuation Ordinance. In light of recent research on the effects of noise on people, the City may wish to challenge the basic assumptions that form the basis of its Noise Attenuation Ordinance. Since any development that occurs in this area could be subject to the effects of increasing aircraft noise over the next decade or more, we would recommend that issue be carefully considered.

The most complete and authoritative reference on the subject is the manual Trip Generation, 5th Edition (1991), by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Generally, it has been found that residential trip making per dwelling unit has remained a relatively stable phenomena over the last 20 years. This stability masks a few other changing trends such as an overalls decrease in the density of persons per dwelling and an increase in the number of automobiles available for travel. SHORT ELLIOTT ST PAUL, I CHIPPEWA FALLS, HENDRICI(SON INC. MINNESOTA WISCONSIN The number of trips createdl(or generated) by residential land uses varies by the type and density of the dwelling units.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS *MEMO May 17, 1991 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Adminis FROM: Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager SUBJECT: Mendakota Park Building Add Items and Award of Play Equipment Contract 1. Drinking Fountain Located by Picnic Pavilion and Play Equipment HISTORY A second fountain was considered desirable by the Park Commissioners 'but was deleted to help hold down costs before project went out for bids. Bids were $80,000 below estimate. Cost to install fountain will be approximately $2,500. ACTION REQUIRED 4 Direct staff to seek bidi to install drinking fountain cost not to exceed $2,500. 2. Three Compartment Stainless I Steel Sink for Concession Building HISTORY The State Health Department requires NFS approved kitchen equipment. A single compartment sink, similar to the one installed at Sibley was specified for the Mendakota Concession area. A single sink will not be allowed if any cooking is done, or if any utensils need to be washed. I To keep all leasing options open and to eliminate a possible future expensive change over, I Isuggest a three compartment sink be installed at this time. This can be accomplished for under $1,000. ACTION REQUIRED Direct staff to prepare a change order directing the plumbing contractor for the Mendakota Park buildings to delete the single compartment NFS sink and install a three compartment NFS approved I 1 '1 sink. Costs not to exceed an additional $1,000. 3. Mendakota Park Play Equipment HISTORY At the April 9th meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, representatives from the Earl F. Anderson Company, Value Recreation and Flanagan Sales, presented proposals to provide play equipment for the Mendakota Park. The proposal directed each supplier to design the equipment to fit within a specific size area, contain a minimum 1/3 of all components accessible to handicap, meet current Consumer Product Safety Guidelines and not to exceed $70,000. The three proposals differed in many areas, therefore the Parks Commission directed staff to prepare a chart comparing the amount of components contained in each proposal and to research quality and durability of the products being proposed. DISCUSSION Flanagan provided the most decking, Value Recreation the heaviest decks, but Earl Anderson Company used higher quality materials and is evidently more durable than its two competitors. The Anderson Company provided more total play events (excluding steps, ladders, decks and ramps) than Flanagan or Value and they provided double the number of handicap events than the other two competitors. Both the Commission and Council selected Earl Anderson Company to provide play equipment in seven parks last year. I feel that the Earl Anderson Company product is superior in aesthetics, quality and durability and recommend they be awarded the contract to provide and install play equipment in this park. Expansion of Proposal During my review of the three proposals, I spent many hours observing children using play equipment and was most impressed by the Anderson installations in Como Park and in Richfield. I feel some additional components, highly desirable by children, should be added to the equipment proposed by Earl Anderson Company. The additional cost would be $5,186 for a grand total of $75,186.

Dani n Public Works Dir SUBJECT: St. Peter's C u ch Utilities Job No. 8420A Improvement No. 84, Project No. 2A DISCUSSION• At their April 16, 1991 meeting Council ordered a public hearing to consider the feasibility study for their May 21, 1991 meeting. Due to an oversite, that hearing was advertised for the June 4th meeting. ACTION REQUIRED: Council needs to continue the May 21, 1991 public hearing for the St. Peter's Church and adjacent areas to their June 4, 1991 meeting at 8:00 P.M. JED:dfw CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 17, 1991 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Tom Lawell, City Adminis SUBJECT: Cable Television Update INTRODUCTION Cable television service within Mendota Heights is provided by Continental Cablevision and is governed by a joint Franchise Agreement amongst seven Cities. The Franchise Administration function is carried out by the Northern Dakota County Cable Communications Commission (NDC -4) on behalf of the member Cities. Several cable related items have recently arisen which need Council review on May 21st, and it is the intent of this memo to introduce the topics in preparation for that meeting. DISCUSSION Attached, please find two letters from NDC -4 which address the following two issues: 1. Franchise Ordinance Amendment related to "Narrow Casting" dated May 6, 1991. 2. Potential construction of combined community television studio and administrative office facility dated May 10, 1991. Several individuals from NDC -4 will be present on May 21st to discuss these issues. These representatives include NDC -4 Executive Director Holly Hansen and NDC -4 Chairperson Ken Henderson. In addition, Councilmember Smith, who serves as the City's Council representative on NDC -4, and Mr. Ron Rogosheske, the City's citizen representative to NDC -4, will also be present. A brief synopsis of each issue follows: "Narrow Casting" Ordinance Amendment When Continental was granted the cable television franchise in northern Dakota County, various design and construction standards for the system were established. One of the standards called for the system to provide "narrow casting" which provides the ability for one cable channel (for example government access Channel 18) to carry several different programs at the same time, each program being targeted to a different set of cable subscribers (for example during a given hour, subscribers in Mendota Heights would see one program on Channel 18, while subscribers in West St. Paul would see something else, while subscribers in Inver Grove Heights would see something else, etc.). Although required in the Franchise, Continental failed to build the cable system with the narrow casting feature. Thus, NDC -4 has been negotiating with Continental in an effort to determine how the Cities should be compensated for the omission of this cable system feature. Details of the proposed settlement are set forth in the May 6th letter from Ms. Hansen. In order to functionally provide a substitute to narrow casting, Continental has proposed that two separate channels be used for government access - Channels 18 and 45. Under this scenario, some government access programs would be on 18 and others on 45, with each City basically being assigned to one channel or the other. While this two channel arrangement may be the best surrogate available for narrow casting at this time, concern has been raised that the two channels are too far away from each other on the channel spectrum. It would be more desirable if the channels were adjacent, for instance Channels 18 and 19. The City of West St. Paul has endorsed the "adjacent channel" concept, and I would recommend that we condition any Franchise Amendment approval on the allocation of Channels 18 and 19 for government access. The settlement would entail a revision to the Franchise Agreement currently in place between the seven Cities and Continental. Under the terms of the Franchise, at least five of the seven Cities will need to vote in favor of the Franchise Amendment to accept the settlement. Community Television Facility Currently NDC -4 leases office space in the City of West St. Paul, and uses space in the lower level of Sibley High School for their television studio. As outlined in the attached May 10th letter from Ms. Hansen, NDC -4 is currently looking into the possibility of combining the two facilities and is interested in knowing if Mendota Heights wishes to be considered as a possible site for the facility. In addition, they have inquired whether the City would be willing to include $500,000 in a bond issue to help NDC -4 finance the facility. Although NDC -4 would be entirely responsible for the debt, they hope that its inclusion with a larger bond issue would result in a more favorable interest rate. The need and desirability of a separate NDC -4 facility has been extensively discussed by the Commission over the past several years. Ms. Hansen has been asked to provide a brief summary of the Commission's thoughts and concerns at our May 21st meeting. City Treasurer Larry Shaughnessy will also be prepared to discuss the idea of utilizing a bond issue, or other types of borrowing, to raise funds for such a facility. ACTION REOUIRED With regard to the narrow casting issue, Council should allow the NDC -4 representatives to present the specifics of the settlement proposal and decide if the terms are acceptable. If so, the Franchise Ordinance Amendment should be approved and, once the required five out of seven Cities have approved the amendment, the City Clerk should be directed to publish the Notice of Ordinance Amendment in the City's official newspaper. In terms of the NDC -4 facility proposal, Council should provide preliminary input to NDC -4 whether Mendota Heights is interested in providing support for the construction of a new facility.

(Continental) and the Commission be amended with respect to the provision of "geographic narrowcasting" on the cable television system. This recommendation has been made after a complete review of the franchise agreement and assessment of the actual neads of the communities involved. Continental has agreed with this proposed amendment, and a signed copy of the Letter of Agreement is enclosed for your information. I am also enclosing a draft Ordinance Amendment which the Commission has prepared. The Commission asks that your city place this item on the agenda for the next city council meeting for public reading and discussion in accordance with your local procedure. In this regard, I would ask that time be allotted at that council meeting for me and a representative of the Commission to make a brief presentation regarding the requested amendment and to answer any questions that the council may have. I will contact Tom Lawell to make the necessary arrangements for our attendance and presentation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Very truly you s, "4l. Holly Habse�r Executive Director /J Encs. cc: Tom Lawell, City Administrator,, Tom Hart, City Attorney Jill Smith, NDC4 Council Representative GEOGRAPHIC NARROWCASTING The parties to this agreement are the Northern Dakota County Cable Communications Commission(IINDC4") and Continental Cablevision of Northern Dakota County("Continental"). WHEREAS, the parties have reviewed the terms and conditions of the franchise ordinance granted to Continental dated December 27, 1984, with regards to the provision of geographic narrowcasting capability as required pursuant to Section 5.01 E of the franchise ordinance; and WHEREAS, the parties to this agreement acknowledge that the provision of geographic narrowcasting capability was part of the consideration which was relied upon by NDC4 in the granting of the franchise between the parties; and WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that the cable system as constructed by Continental does not include the geographic narrowcasting capability as contemplated along certain geographic boundaries by the franchise ordinance; and WHEREAS, NDC4 has formed a duly authorized negotiation committee to discuss with Continental settlement of the narrowcasting issue; and WHEREAS, the negotiation committee has meet with authorized representatives of Continental and conditionally agreed upon terms of settlement contingent upon approval by NDC4 and the requirements as stated in the franchise ordinance under Section 14.02 A with regards to Amendment of the Franchise; and WHEREAS, the full Commission at its regular meeting held on April 3, 1991, has reviewed the terms and conditions of the recommended settlement of the negotiation committee and Continental, and believe that said settlement is in the best interest of the member cities of NCD4. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 1. Continental shall pay to NCD4 the sum of One -hundred thirty-five thousand dollars($135,000.00) in cash, or through equipment purchases at the discretion of NDC4 as reviewed annually, with payments due in equal install- ments, without interest, over a five(5) year period commencing July 1,1991. This consideration shall include a waiver and forgiveness by Continental for the repayment of any and all prepaid franchise fees by NDC4 as required by Section 9.01 of the franchise ordinance, including accrued interest, currently in excess of Sixty- five thousand dollars($65,000.00). Page Two 2. Continental will provide assistance to NDC4, or its designates, with the promotion of any access channels which are reassigned as a result of the completion of this agreement. Continental is to provide a proposal to NDC4 on or before the May 1991 Full Commission Meeting. 3. Continental shall not base any future subscriber rate increase upon payments made in accordance with the proposed settlement. 4. Continental or its successors -in -interest may be required to construct the cable system with geographic narrowcasting capability upon system franchise renewal, rebuild or sale to another party at the discretion of NDC4. 5.. The parties also understand and agree that the purpose of this settlement is to resolve the issue of geographic narrowcasting capability only, and that this agreement is not intended to change or modify any other terms or conditions of the franchise ordinance. Therefore, the parties to this Letter of Agreement, in recognition that said agreement is contingent upon acceptance of an ordinance amendment by the member cities of NDC4 in accordance with the requirements as stated in Section 14.02 A of the franchise ordinance, jointly propose the terms of this agreement as a reasonable means of resolving the issue of geographic narrowcasting capability.

This letter is being sent to you to inquire whether Mendota Heights is interested in having a community facility of this nature located in the city and if so, if you would be willing and/or able to provide assistance to the NDC4 to accomplish this. The NDC4 is especially interested in knowing if Mendota Heights would be willing to include $500,000 in a bond issue to help the NDC4 finance a facility. The NDC4 would be responsible for its own debt and is seeking the possibility of being part of a larger bond issue that could afford us more favorable interest rates than we could obtain otherwise. We would appreciate having an indication of Mendota Heights' interest in this project by May 29th so the NDC4 can begin to consider specific cities in our search process. Your response would not be considered binding, but rather is meant to guide us in our preliminary search. If you are neither interested in nor able to assist the NDC4, please let me know.

Her request is in response to several constituents, Mr. Ralph Johnson and Mr. John Muller, who have been contacting the City about adopting a Cat Control Ordinance. This memo will attempt to briefly outline the typical cat control ordinances that other municipalities have, the effectiveness and enforceability of such ordinances and the cost/benefits of such ordinances. DISCUSSION The League of Minnesota Cities' Information Service has supplied staff with some sample Cat Control ordinances. I have attached three that I believe to be among the better ordinances. Watertown's ordinance is simple, yet comprehensive. Maplewood's treats cat problems by defining them as a nuisance and thus makes cat owners subject to the nuisance laws. Kasson's cat ordinance applies the same rules dogs are subject to and prohibits cats from running at large. Most cat control ordinances include the following: 1. Registration and licensing by the City. 2. Tags and collars. 3. Proof of annual rabies vaccinations 4. Prohibition of Cats running at large. Some also include descriptions of nuisance behavior, dangerous cats and stray cats. 5. Impoundment procedures, penalties and reclaiming provisions. 6. Unclaimed cats. 7. Report of cat bites and quarantine procedures. 8. Destruction of cats. 9. Designation for Animal Control. 10. Fines, penalties and violations. Of our neighboring cities, West St. Paul and Eagan have provisions preventing cats'from running at large in their animal control ordinance, but do not license cats. Inver Grove Heights is considering a new animal control ordinance, but has reported that it will not include cat control or licensure. South St. Paul has a Cat Control Ordinance that licenses cats and their budget includes an Animal Control Officer. The enforcement and effectiveness of cat control ordinances is debatable. Cat owners are reluctant to license their cats and most cities report that only a small percentage of cats become licensed and/or wear their tags. However, in nuisance situations there would be a law on the books for enforcement. Cost and Benefits The benefits of a cat control ordinance would be the enforceability of the ordinance in nuisance situations, dangerous cat situations and diseased animals. Licensure of cats would provide some revenues to the City through fees, however, as mentioned above, a small percentage of cat owners actually register their animals and fee revenues would probably only cover the cost of purchasing a tag inventory and processing the paperwork. A cat control ordinance would please those constituents who perceive cats as a nuisance and a threat to wildlife. The costs of a cat control ordinance would be the time consumed for police officers to respond to complaints and the kenneling of the cats. Because a small percentage of cats are actually licensed, identification of the cats is difficult and many cats that are kenneled may go unclaimed. In this case, the cost of euthanasia would have to be borne. Cats are difficult to catch, and if they are unidentifiable, it is difficult to prosecute the owners of nuisance cats. Oak Crest Kennels, who provide our dog kenneling and animal control, do not have facilities for, or expertise in, cat control. A cat control ordinance may upset cat owners who do not wish to pay a license fee or. leash their cats. Some cat owners would be horrified about restraining their cats, other cat owners may feel that allowing a cat to run at large is extremely -irresponsible. ALTERNATIVES 1. Do nothing and direct staff to not pursue this issue further. 2. Direct staff to draft a proposed cat control ordinance. If this option is chosen the Council should provide staff with some direction regarding the level of sophistication they would desire to have in a cat control ordinance. 3. Direct staff to provide more information on costs, enforceability and the necessity of cat control. ACTION REQUIRED Consider the information provided on cat control and direct staff in the manner Council feels appropriate. INFORMATION SERVICE League of Minnesota Cities I University Ave E.

The specific operation or use of the concessions area has not been discussed by the Parks and Recreation Commission and is scheduled for their June meeting. (Please see attached memo and contract proposal.) This item is being brought to the City Council's attention for the purpose of generating discussion about the appropriate use of the comfort station and the operation of its concessions area. Some possible uses would be: 1. Lease contract with a sole, exclusive vendor. 2. City operation with employees and an inventory. 3.- use by civic groups (Mend -Eagan or Fire Department) on part- time rental basis. 4. Reservation policy similar to conference rooms. Staff has not yet explored all the advantages/disadvantages of each option, or the cost/benefits. Any revenues or rental receipts the City received from the concessions area could obviously offset operating costs of the park. There may be better options than those provided above. ACTION REQUIRED Provide the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff with any direction on the appropriate use of the concessions area at Mendakota Park. NOTE: Staff has informed Mr. and Mrs. Will that any lease discussion would have to follow a policy discussion and decision on the use of the concessions area.

May 6, 1991 Sincerely, Harriet and Gene Will 454-8657 tZ CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 16, 19 To: Mayor, City Council and City Adminis From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant(o� Subject: Adopt -A -Park New Program Proposal INTRODUCTION At the April 9, 1991 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, staff informed the Commission that a community business, Gopher State One Call Service, inquired if the City had an Adopt -A -Park program. The Parks Commission directed staff to put together a proposed program. This program was presented to the Parks Commission at the may meeting. (Please see attached memo and permit.) DISCUSSION Basically, the proposed Adopt -A -Park program provides community groups with the opportunity to clean up parks, or trails, in exchange for the city providing trash bags and a sign designating an adopted park or trail section. The permit obligates the group to two. cleanups per year for a two year period. The permit also provides structure for one time only cleanups under the Pick -A -Park option (this would apply to Cub Scouts or elementary classes.) The details of the Terms and Conditions of the agreement are on the second page of the attached permit form. The City would also provide publicity for the groups in the form of press releases. The Parks and Recreation Commission did not have a quorum to make a recommendation at the May meeting, however, they expressed enthusiasm for the idea at the April meeting. I recommend that this program be approved and that it be funded out of the Special Parks Fund in its initial year. I recommend this be discussed as a General Fund budget item for 1992 under Parks Maintenance. ACTION REQUIRED I If City Council desires to implement this new program, they should pass a motion approving the new Adopt -a -Park program with any fund expenditures for signs and trash bags to come out of the Special Parks Fund in 1991. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 7, 1991 To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assista Subject: Adopt -A -Park New Program Proposal DISCUSSION At the April 9, 1991 meeting, staff mentioned that we had been contacted by Gopher State One Call Service about the possibility of adopting a park. Gopher State's intention was to commit to clean up of a City park on a twice a year basis, similar to the MnDOT Adopt -A -Highway program. The Parks Commission was enthusiastic about this type of community service and requested that staff pursue an Adopt -A -Park program. Attached you will find a copy of the proposed program's permit, terms and conditions, and safety tips. Basically, the program commits the group adopting a park, or trail section, to twice a year pickup. We are encouraging a Spring and Fall cleanup. In return, the City provides trash bags, pickup of collected trash and a sign in the park. We would also provide press release publicity. The permit also provides for a one time only pickup. The cost for the City to implement this program would be limited to the cost for purchasing an individual sign and for its placement. A preliminary estimate is that each sign and its construction would not exceed $100. If all our parks were adopted, and some trail sections, an estimate for signs would be a maximum of approximately $1,500. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that this program be recommended for City Council approval and that it be funded out of the Special Parks Fund in its initial year. Discussion of this as a General Fund budget item can occur during the budget process for 1992. ACTION REQUIRED Discuss this new program proposal and make an appropriate recommendation to City Council. NOTE: Gopher State One Call Service is interested in adopting Rogers Lake Park and the trail along the lake. They have scheduled a pickup for Saturday, May 18 and are hoping for City approval of this program. ; a m City of .� ! .'., 1VieHeights ADOPT A -PARK PERMIT (check one) _ Adopt -a -Park.

Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Recodification INTRODUCTION May 15, 1991 Recodification of the Zoning Ordinance is a top priority goal and has been in process for a considerable time. The document is very close to being in "public hearing form," however some of the changes which have been incorporated into the document may need further Council review. Council should discuss those items and give staff direction on how to proceed with the recodification. HISTORY In 1988 the Council and Planning Commission met in joint workshop to review the Zoning Ordinance. Concerns and issues were identified, and staff was directed to rewrite the associated ordinance provisions. Subsequent to the workshop, staff prepared the revisions and reviewed the entire ordinance, updating much of the ordinance language to make the document consistent with state statutes and modern terminology. Provisions which were unworkable, difficult to understand or contradictory were revised. Staff met with the City Planner and City Attorney on several occasions and ultimately prepared a complete draft of the document. The draft was reviewed at a joint Council/Planning Commission workshop in May, 1990. The document was then re- drafted to incorporate the changes directed at the workshop. DISCUSSION As I noted in the introductory paragraph, I feel that the ordinance is now very close to being ready for adoption, subject of course to any changes Council may wish to make. Two matters, however, should be addressed before the public hearing process commences: should the B-2 District uses be reconsidered, and how does the Council wish to proceed with the recodification. B-2 District Uses The permitted and conditional use lists for all districts were slightly revised to reflect current terminology. As an example, "wearing apparel shop" and "dry goods store" have been combined into the single "clothing store" use. The B-2 permitted use list, however, has been expanded significantly to accommodate uses requested by John Duffy and Tom Curley for the proposed redevelopment of the Curley property. The following uses, proposed by the developer, are permitted B-3 District uses in the existing Zoning Ordinance: diaper or laundry service; interior decorating studio; locksmith; medical and dental clinic; picture framing studio and furniture sales (which was requested because of the City's desire to rezone the Ethan Allen site to B-2, and is proposed in the ordinance to be limited to the size of the existing facility). The developers also requested two new uses - drapery shop and health center (nutrition counselling studio in the draft ordinance). The developers have not contacted City staff since their last appearance before Council. In view of the uncertainty of the development proposal, Council may wish to remove some or all of the requested uses before considering adoption of the ordinance. Unless Council sees a current community need for the uses in B-2 districts, I would encourage their deletion. There is no certainty that any of the uses will occur in the Duffy development or that the developer will not ultimately request different or additional uses. After ordinance adoption, Mr. Duffy or any developer can make application to amend the ordinance to expand permitted or conditional uses. Recodification Processing Prior to adoption of zoning ordinance revisions, the ordinance requires that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing (which can occur at the Commission's June meeting) and then refer the document, with any recommended changes, to Council. Council is not required to conduct a public hearing, however, a four/fifths vote of the Council is required for adoption of the ordinance. When a revised, recodified Zoning Ordinance is adopted, it will become effective after it has been published. Any new provisions can only affect applications filed after publication of the ordinance. Applications under consideration before the publication date are subject to the provisions of the existing Zoning Ordinance. Although the foregoing process is all that is required, Council may wish to further review and discuss the document before the public hearing. When the process is discussed on Tuesday evening, Council should select one of the following courses of action: a. To refer the ordinance draft in its current form (revised to reflect any changes made at the May 21st meeting) to the Planning Commission for hearing on June 24th; b. Review the draft and direct staff to make revisions for Council review on June 4th; c. Schedule a Council workshop for more extensive review of the draft prior to Planning Commission hearing. c. Schedule a joint Council/Planning Commission workshop for more extensive joint review before the public hearing. INFORMATION The draft ordinance which was distributed to Council and the Planning Commission prior to the last workshop has been amended to reflect changes which were directed at the workshop and ordinance amendments which have occurred in the past year. Because of the time and materials which would be needed to duplicate the 120 page document, we have not prepared additional copies for distribution with the agenda. We ask instead that you dust off your workshop copy (dated February 20, 1990) for Tuesday's meeting. If you no longer have your copy, please let me know as soon as possible. I am attaching the minutes of the May 2, 1990 workshop and a five page document containing changes, corrections and deletions defined at the workshop. In addition to those changes, staff recommends that "auto service stations and car washes" be removed from the B-3 permitted use list. The B-3 conditional use list incorporates conditional uses in the B-1 and B-2 Districts, "motor fuel station" and "single bay car wash attached to a motor fuel station". If the use is removed from the "permitted" list it will become a conditional use in the B-3 District. ACTION REQUIRED Council should review the February, 1990 draft of the Zoning Ordinance and the attached proposed revisions, discuss changes which may be suggested by the Mayor and Council members, and determine whether to schedule further discussions on the ordinance or refer it to the Planning Commission for hearing in June.

Staff was directed to make the following changes to the proposed revisions. Section 3.2(70), front lot line definition, should be changed so that the front lot line shall be designated by the owner subject to approval of the Code Enforcement Officer, and to provide for review by the Board of Appeals in those instances where the property owner wishes to appeal the determination of the Code Enforcement Officer.

Program * Local News Coverage * Current Legislative Activity * Human Resources Planning CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 17, 1991 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Tom Lawell,City Administ4r_ SUBJECT: Discussion of Intergovernmental Cooperation Issues Since the beginning of this year's legislative debate, Minnesota Cities have been targeted for substantial cuts in State provided financial aids. Although the omnibus tax bill has not yet been approved, it remains likely that Cities will eventually be hit with substantial aid reductions for 1992. one strategy being used to help address these cuts involves the use of cooperative service delivery arrangements between various governmental units. it is the intent of this memo to explore future intergovernmental arrangements which could potentially benefit Mendota Heights and our neighboring communities. DISCUSSION Several months ago, Cities within Dakota County began to discuss the various cost saving efficiencies which can be realized through enhanced intergovernmental cooperation. cities first documented the number of joint service delivery agreements already in place (Mendota Heights listed thirty-four such agreements), and we have now turned our sights on new opportunities which exist for cooperative service delivery. You may recall that at our April 3, 1991 Goal Setting Session, the financial planning/ intergovernmental cooperation target issue was ranked high on the list of City priorities for 1991. Attached is a list of potential "shared/consolidated service options" which was compiled by the Dakota County City/County Manager's Group. This list represents a number of intergovernmental opportunities which we may want to consider. Obviously each city will probably not want to be involved in all of the identified areas, and the group is interested in having each City identify the top three or four priority areas they would like to concentrate on during the coming year. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff has reviewed the list of shared service options and has identified several which seem particularly promising. They are as follows: Dispatch Services The Dakota County Chiefs of Police are currently looking into more efficient means of providing dispatch service to the County. Within the metropolitan area, Dakota County has the greatest number of Cities who operate their own dispatch centers, and experience tells us that a more efficient arrangement is possible. Staff Training Several Dakota County Cities, in cooperation with Inver Hills Community College, recently established a Management Academy Program to provide cost effective training opportunities for their municipal employees. The program has been very well received and discussion is currently underway to expand the program to include other Cities as well. Recognizing that training is nothing less than an investment in our most important resource, our employees, the program seems quiet promising. Benefit Design/Group Insurance As you may recall, the City's cost for group health insurance continues to rise at a rate well in excess of the inflation rate. It has been suggested that perhaps a more favorable bid could be received if interested Dakota County Cities bid the insurance package as a group. Further information would include a comparison of provided coverages and a full financial analysis. Park and Recreation Activities With the recent addition of considerable acreage to our park system, we will soon be faced with coordinating the use of many additional fields. Staff has already received several calls from residents interested in forming various softball leagues, and we expect the interest to only increase. Perhaps greater cooperation with neighboring Cities and School District No. 197 will help address the programming and scheduling issues before us. Public Works/Snow Removal It appears quiet obvious to everyone that having both City and County snow removal equipment operating in the same area is quiet inefficient. It has been suggested that some arrangement be reached between the County and interested Cities that would allow City crews to plow County roads, and visa versa, in areas where it makes the most sense. ACTION REQUIRED Council is asked to review the attached list of service delivery options, and provide staff with direction regarding Council priorities. Staff will then follow-up with other Dakota County Cities to hopefully identify areas of mutual interest and commitment. MTL:kkb 4/10/91 DAKOTA COUNTY MANAGERS SHARED/CONSOLIDATED SERVICE OPTIONS 1.

Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager Subject: Response to Council Comments Ivy Hills Park Basketball Court Valley Park Outfield DISCUSSION Ivy Hills Basketball Court - Councilmember Koch had inquired about the mud and standing water on the basketball court at Ivy Hills Park. Because of size constraints in the neighborhood parks, basketball/hardcourts were sited on the free skating areas. At Ivy Hills Park, the same poor soils and clay that contributed to the removal of the hockey rink, are causing delays in the drainage. A dike that holds the water was not breached and the water did not drain off as well as it would have with a breached dike. In the future, efforts will be made to insure that the dike is breached early in the Spring and that the basketball court is cleaned and ready for play. It has been cleaned once this Spring. Because of the ice sheet in the winter the grass around the court does not take until later in the summer. The establishment of better turf around the court will help with the cleaning (not as much mud) after the melted ice is drained. The free skating rink configuration may be altered to accomodate better drainage and less conflict with the new improvements in the park. Valley Park Outfield - Councilmember Blesener had inquired about the low level of the outfield at Valley Park, what would it take to fix it and how was the money spent that had been allocated for fixing the ballfields in the neighborhood parks. Engineering staff surveyed the field this week and it was discovered that the ballfield drops 2.3 feet from home plate to the right field foul pole, 2.3 feet from home plate to the left field foul pole and 4.0 feet from home plate to the edge of the marsh in center field. This amounts to approximately one to two percent slopes in the outfields, which is the recommended slope for ballfield drainage. Obviously, there is a dip in center and right -center fields that appears to be low (center field is 1.7 feet lower than the right field foul pole), however, the slopes do not warrant the changing of the grades. There are not grade level improvements scheduled for Valley Park, although top dressing is scheduled for Valley Park's outfield to take care of the dips and doodles. Referendum Funding The 1989 Parks Referendum contained line items to make various improvements to existing neighborhood ball fields which totaled $13,900. An additional $50,000 was allocated with no specific use, but was designated "for Ball Field Improvements", bringing the total to $63,900. Improvements Constructed in 1990 - Some improvements were included with the Park Improvement Contract, others were handled by City staff. Installation of benches and fencing was coordinated by Guy Kullander, and material purchases requested by Park Maintenance personnel were approved by Guy Kullander. The list of expenditures is as follows: Staff time $2,075 Black dirt $7,540 Trees $ 540 Grading & seeding $1,585 Rec-rock $5,320 Player's benches $8,890 Fencing and backstops $8,250 Storm Sewer $15,000 (Friendly Hills) Totals $49,200 Balance of Funds Available Future Commitments Valley View Heights (Benches, etc.) Back Stop Hoods (2) Top dress Marie & Valley Parks Total Total Uncommitted Funds $14,700 $1,500 $2,500 $2,000 $6,.000 $8,700 (estimated) At the request of Council, staff recently met with Dr. Bruce Anderson, ISD -197, regarding field improvements at Mendota and Somerset Schools and Sibley High School. The School District is currently in the process of preparing a specific list of field improvements they would like to see considered by the City in these locations. Funds for such improvements would likely come from the "uncommitted funds" identified above. ACTION REQUIRED If Council so desires, respond to the information and provide staff with any direction desired for the neighborhood park improvements.
