McRae, District Engineer Minnesota Department of Transportation District 9, Oakdale 3485 Hadley Avenue North, Box 2050 North St. Paul, Minnesota 55109 Subject: Excess Highway Right of Way S.T.H. 55 and F.A.I. 494 G & L Development Job No. 8428 Dear Mr. McRae: It is our understanding, that in the process of constructing Highway 494 through Mendota Heights, Mn/DOT has acquired extensive amounts of land for right of way at the intersection of 494 and S.T.H 55. For a time, an off -ramp was in use where traffic exited from 494 to Highway 55 at a point where Northland Drive is to intersect with Highway 55. Now that 494 is completed in that vicinity, the off -ramp has been removed and excess right of way is now available for local development. One developer has acquired a parcel of land in the southeast quadrant of Mendota Heights Road and S.T.H. 55 but has not pursued the development of it because of inadequant access to a major thoroughfare. Now that additional property may become available it has been suggested that a short cul-de-sac street be constructed, as an extension of Northland Drive on the east side of S.T.H. 55, further opening excess highway right of way to development. The City of Mendota Heights is in agreement that access be provided to property east of Highway 55 and herewith requests that sufficient land, as shown on the attached drawing, be made available so that the City can construct a roadway for access purposes. The City will also need a permit to construct on Highway 55 right of way to connect with the roadway. This matter has been recently discussed verbally with Bob Cartford and Chet Tollefson and it was suggested -that in -the --process of considering turnback of highway right of way, Mn/DOT take steps to legally describe the parcel as shown on the attached drawing. We are also enclosing a prelimi- nary drawing showing the relationship of the proposed roadway to S.T.H. 55 and Mendota Heights Road. 750 South Plaza F)rivc • Mendota Heights.

Also present were John Gibbs, legal counsel; Randall Coleman, Robert Sachs and Tom Ryan of Continental Cablevision. 2. Lanegran moved, seconded by Baird to approve the agenda. Voting 8 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. 3. Henderson moved, seconded by Hanson, to approve the minutes of the November 28, 1984 meeting with corrections. Voting: 8 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. 4. Several items of communication were presented: MCCB meeting agenda for January 11, 1985 as well as minutes of December 14, 1984; letter from Herbst & Thue regarding the South St. Paul charter related to franchise ordinances. 5. In Treasurer Kinney's absence, Chairman Zemke reported that the balance of the checking account as of 12/31/84 was $1,934.39. Chairman Zemke reported on the meeting on the Executive Committee and Franchise Ordinance Draft Committee. Hanson reported that in order to pay some of the bills the Executive Committee considered City assessments but that idea was dismissed with the recommen- dation that decision be deferred until status of Franchise Ordinance is determined. 6. Lanegran moved, seconded by Witt, to elect Dave Zemke as Chairman, Paul Tatone as Vice Chairman, Ken Hanson as secretary, Craig Kinney as Treasurer and Duncan Baird as Representative Director. Voting: 6 ayes, 2 nays - Zemke and Hanson. Motion carried. 7. John Gibbs addressed the status of the background information of the South St. charter amendment would be required in Ordinance. Franchise Agreement and the Paul issue of whether an election order to close on the Franchise nr Gibbs stated the alternatives for the resolution of the South St. Paul Charter issue. The alternatives are a declaratory judgement, referendum election, charter amendment or Attorney General's opinion. The position of the City of South St. Paul and Committee was that the charter amendment was the best resolution but the Commission asked legal counsen to start the process of a declaratory judgement. Gibbs reported that Continental and its legal counsel stated that they would agree to accept a franchise in South St. Paul and the rest of the cities if the franchise with South St. Paul read that it was for a term of 10 years to be extended to a 15 year franchise when South St. Paul amended the City Charter to allow 15 year franchises without a vote or at such time as a vote would occur. He also stated that the closing of the Franchise Agreement could be about February 25, 1985. He advised the Commission to recommend to South St. Paul that they adopt the proposed South St. Paul Franchise Ordinance Amendment. Lanegran stated that the Charter change will be before the South St. Paul City Council on February 19, 1985. Gibbs stated that the franchise ordinance would be before the MCCB at its March meeting and 20 days after that they would issue and release a certi_ cate of confirmation. Gibbs stated that the Commission should recommend to the cities that they extend the date of closing to no later than February 28, 1985. Baird moved, seconded by Witt to recommend to the City of South St. Paul, that they adopt the franchise ordinance with the change. Baird, Sunfish Lake - Boelter, Mendota - Lanegran, So.

Prepared by: Diane Ward Staff Secretary .4 • PLANNING REPORT DATE: 22 January 1985 CASE NUMBER: 85-03 APPLICANT: James Krey LOCATION: Southwest Quadrant of Chippewa Avenue and Hiawatha ACTION REQUESTED: Division of a Lot PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The property in question consists of three lots, two of which have 40 feet of frontage on Chippewa Avenue and one has 54 feet, 6 inches. Thus the total lot frontage is 134 feet, 6 inches, with a depth (along Hiawatha) of 120 feet. Mr. Krey proposes to divide the three lots into two lots, with the lot containing the existing house to have 66 feet of frontage, and the remaining lot to have 68 feet, 6 inches of frontage (on Chippewa). 2. The new corner lot contains a small existing home, which if it' -'were expanded would require variances to the front yard (27 feet instead of the required 30) and a variance to the side yard contiguous to the street (17 feet instead of the required 30 feet). These variances would not necessarily have to be issued at this time (they were not applied for), but would have to be processed at such time as the home were to be rows expanded. In some ways, it is better to wait for such a proposed expansion so that the expansion can be judged in the light of existing variances, reviewing them as a whole. 3. The proposed lot division, of course, does not meet the current standards (100 feet of frontage and 15,000 square feet of area). However, in this portion of the City, as you well know, there are a good number of existing 60 foot lots. It has been the practice of the City to allow such substandard subdivisions if the lots proposed are reasonably in scale with those in the neighborhood. Attached is a copy of a portion of the section map indicating the lot sizes in the area. You will notice that lot sizes vary and in some cases there are homes on two lots. On the second drawing we have indicated the lot sizes as they relate to the air photo which should be helpful in discerning the lot and development patterns in the immediate area. 4. The City Ordinance as established in 1962 makes a provision for existing lots which may not meet the 100 foot frontage and 15,000 square foot lot area. Such lots, if they meet 70 percent of the requirements, are deemed buildable lots without action on the part of the Planning Commission or Council. Existing lots not meeting the 70 percent ratio, are processed with a variance procedure before a building permit can be issued. That 70 percent criteria, however, does not apply to the proposed lot division. In the case of new lot division, the criteria of reasonableness CASE NUMBER: 15-03 APPLICANT: James Krey Page 2 as it relates to the size of the lots in the immediate area has been -used. Most communities use this method as a basis for determining adequate lot .size, when lot divisions are proposed in established residential areas. 5. Though a survey would always be helpful in cases of lot divisions of this kind where an existing structure is involved, it appears from the air photos that the home is located approximately as shown on the drawing. In any case, there appears to be adequate space to conform to the 10 foot side yard setback with respect to the newly proposed lot line. If we do not act on the variance to the existing home, it would appear that the exact dimensions are not critical at this time. So f o R 5 h .0 3 t "1 o� J 3 a • i m. PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 22 January -1985 " 85-01 Northwestern Bell Telephone Company East End of Lot, Northeast Corner of Lexington Avenue and Cullen Avenue Approval of Conditional Use Permit Approval of Lot Division Variance to Yard Requirements 1. Northwestern Bell Telephone Company proposes to construct two telephone utility buildings in the City, each of which will house electronic control equipment pertaining to the operation of the telephone system serving the City of Mendota Heights. Discussing their needs with the staff several weeks ago, they indicated their objective was to put one structure in the vicinity of Lexington Avenue and Wagon Wheel Trail and another irk the southwesterly part of the City. The second site has not yet been selected nor proposed. 2. The structure will be a 17 foot by 17 foot building which can be built of any material the City may desire (including brick). The Zoning Code includes (as most communities do) such utility structures as a conditional use in the R-1 District (and all other districts). The staff suggested that perhaps a more appropriate solution in the residential district is to put the structure in the rear yard of a corner lot. Accordingly, they have proposed to purchase the easterly 50 feet of a residential lot owned by Virginia J. Flo at 2170 Lexington Avenue. This lot has a frontage of 85 feet on Lexington, and frontage of 330 feet on Cullen Avenue. Attached -is a copy of a surveyof the entire—ror-indicaring--the--location `" ' of the proposed structure, the driveway to serve the structure, the proposed lot line, and existing development and tree cover on the site. 3. The conditional use in the R-1 District stipulates that such a structure should be 50 feet from the nearest residential lot line. In this case, they propose to locate the structure 15 feet from each of the side lot lines created by the division of the east end of the residential lot. Thus, the proposed lot would have 50 feet of frontage, and 85 feet of depth. Fortunately, there is a hedge row along the east side of the property line, which tends to screen the structure from the contiguous rear yard of the property to the east. No landscape plan has been submitted, but the applicants propose to do such landscaping , which will be maintained by a landscape service. 4. You will note that the proposed structure has a driveway which includes a turn -around (T-shaped) on the site. One wonders if this is really CASE NUMBER: 85-01 APPLICANT: Northwestern Bell Telephone Page 2 necessary inasmuch as it would appear perfectly appropriate for a vehicle . servicing the building to simply back out into Cullen Avenue the same as other residences do on driveways serving their garages. This would simply reduce the amcadtif-a-sphalt in front of the building and make it appear more like a garage structure. It may be also that the driveway could simply go to the front of the structure as would be the case with a normal separate garage. Perhaps this could be discussed with the representatives of Northwestern Bell at the Planning Commission and Council hearings. 5. Structures serving purposes similar to that proposed here are common in every community. There are, as you know, pumping stations, control houses, substations, well houses, and other such structures that are necessary to serve the infrastructure of the community. Fortunately, in this case, all of the equipment can be housed in a building, which if well landscaped and maintained would not have a deleterious effect on the aesthetics of the residential character in a given area. Attached is a copy of portion of an air photo of the site and its surroundings. The site and the structure are superimposed on the photo, giving you an indication of the relationship between the proposed structure and the surrounding residential lots and homes. 6. The staff has received a phone call from Mrs. Eller Thompson who lives at 2150 Lexington. She indicates her concern that the structure might prevent the development of a street on the easterly side of these lots of which there are five in a row on the east side of Lexington Avenue, north of Cullen Avenue. The problem here is that if such a street were to be constructed, it would be in the back yard of the homes to the east fronting on Theresa Street. This would produce a relatively undesirable condition for these homes, and is likely not the appropriate solution for the development of the rear portions of these 330 foot deep lots. Perhaps a more appropriate solution is for the extension of a drive between two of the houses (perhaps on the south side of Thompson's lot) so as to achieve access to the rear of at least two lots. 7. Perhaps as the City matures, and the demand for buildable sites increases, the City might at some time in the future entertain the use of smaller scale, planned unit developments. Such a system would allow for. the development of a private street to the rear of groups of lots. Such a street and its access to the individual lots could be controlled by a small scale association of the homeowners, so as to achieve a more efficient use of land, without the construction of 60 foot wide public streets and 120 foot diameter cul-de-sacs. At the moment, the Ordinance restricts planned unit developments to five acres and thus such a procedure for the four to five lots in question would not be appropriate now. Actually, as you can see by the copies of the attached sketches prepared by the engineering department that there are really three lots that might be developed in the rear yards. These are the three lots immediately north of the Flo property. 8. In summary, it would appear that if the grounds are properly landscaped, and the area of asphalt minimized, that the structure could be compatible with the surrounding residential areas. In the event that a driveway to the structure (not going alongside it) is feasible, the structure could be moved further to the west, thereby_increasing the distance to the easterly property line (the nearest residential unit affected). .00 • / 4 4 • • 11.0 ti 4 • c ti • • F t e A 11 S it .-4_• t /4 7 IS $ /4 • 11.0 9 i • 1° 7 M 1s a., Jv 30 -. 11 CU1tLEY A//.W-/ 6 N!a Gam/ 010-51 • / Ac /4,07z -J • • • ^HI 1 w'tF 020-51 Lo /9cxlC r /3 ELLEN 030-51 : i'moMP S014 •• At rt. -re -8z /4 • 040-51 / •• • 1 • 1J : /4 1 ry C U L L N i10 z4 L 1 30 w `�► aro •. • 1s� 11 1 • - - FB- - 9 /4 /5-01 14VE. .1 ..• 1 Ir •• 1/ a JoaCPH s. i S'NDRA 0G0-50 .7 �•- 4fc 7 LOC//J 6 /9/7,7 4i -SaP /e -fa / /x.070-50 3 9/4If-/ ✓. /Yl.1y 080-50 7 -4°7Z - Ct. .99.010—E .4°7Z- CtrARLEG. 10 : VAN EeCkHOUr • 090- 50 tiOri 7t A J•'• 9 L AMERICAN Rf14.161ar...;,, TbwN HALL MgETfn/1 ' brie. 070-5I z.d.07t-*1 O 6.f 44- • 1 9- 1.4 • /4 • /5 .1 1 1 301 11 7•/ i 1 1 1 + � Z 0 4 -• /AI y li ♦1• ' a• 3 -1 • =t1 • •V ZZ1.1 • • 1 8 1 194.4 . l h4 „ 1 11 -ti / o•6 E 9 4•,'� •1 4 : 91 i 62:69.53 01 j a 31 },Y 559./5' 06- 59 AZ. 50 C ♦ZP31 ..-5 . • 0=2 a1 6 39 2Y2 ' !n 7 t7 744- 1 •3.33 Qt O Q C) 0 ^w 7 I y.10 ti 0 f k '(e, t. b r c!;td /4) 11 - ?1cLA dor //�C'T ©L` ,J5 1\) 13- I 5 30 ( /5-r-te) 3mor Cut-t_—E. ... CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 22, 1985 TO: Mayor, City Council and City 524_ FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Mendota Heights Road Construction Lexington Avenue to Trunk Highway 55 Job No. 8428 Improvement No. 84, Project 6 DISCUSSION: Mendota Heights Road (Lexington Avenue to Trunk Highway 55) is listed in the MSA five year plan as being completed in 1985. During budget preparation that segment was inadvertently moved to 1986 in the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Program. Staff feels there are many good reasons to proceed now in 1985 with the Mendota Heights Road project (Lexington Avenue - T.H. 55): 1. The City promised Mn/DOT that we would upgrade Mendota Heights Road to 52 feet wide to match their bridge construction within 5 years of the bridge's completion. 2. Traffic volumes on Mendota Heights Road are high and will be increasing over the upcoming years. Construction on a heavily travel road is difficult. 3. The traffic volumes are already present to warrant the upgraded road. 4. The County has funded a trail to be built in conjunction with the upgrading and if we do not do the street construction we will lose the trail funding. 5. The estimated cost for construction is approximately $100,000. . There is money available in the City's MSA account to cover this construction and leave $270,00+ in the account. That amount plus this years added allotment will be enough to fund another project later this year. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Mendota Heights Road be upgraded from Lexington Av( to T.H. 55 from a 24 foot wide rural section to a new 52 foot wide urban sectio. with an 8 foot wide trail. Total project costs to be funded by Dakota County and State Aid sources. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 85- , Resolution Ordering Improvement and Preparationrof Plans and Specifications for Construction of Mendota Heights Road between Lexington Avenue and Trunk Highway 55 (Improvement No. 84, Project No. 6) CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 22, 1985 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission was called to order by Acting Chairperson Stefani at 8:00 o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Stefani, Burke, Morson, and Henning. Ridder, Kruse, and Frank had notified the Commission that they would be unable to attend the meeting. Also present were Planning Consultant Howard Dahlgren and Public Works Director James Danielson. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 HEARING, CASE #85-01, NW BELL, CUP, VARIANCE, AND SUBDIVISION Minutes of the November 27, 1984 meeting had been sub- mitted previously. Commissioner Burke moved to approve the minutes as submitted. Commissioner Morson seconded the motion. Acting Chairperson Stefani called the meeting to order for the purpose of a public hearing on an application from Northwestern Bell Telephone Company for a condit- ional use permit, subdivision and variance, to allow construction of a 17 foot by 17 foot accessory structure to house telephone circuits. The property is located on the east 50 feet of the north 85 feet of the south 430 feet of the west 330 feet of the SW 1/4 of Section 26, or the easterly portion of 2170 Lexington Avenue. The property is owned by Ms. Virginia Flo and Mr. Robert Dokken, the real estate agent representing Northwestern Bell, noted that the telephone company has a purchase option for the property. Mr. Dokken advised the Commission and audience that the building must be located close to the cable, and in this case, the cable is located in Lexington Avenue. He also stated that the structure must be in the approximate center of the area to be served and that this will be one of the very early fiber optic installations. He stated that the structure will be approximately the size of a single car garage, and that the building will be unheated and unairconditioned. There will be no noise, no fumes, and very little traffic to the site, with perhaps one visit per week. He also stated that Northwestern Bell would have no problem with the driveway going straight to the building rather than having a "T" shaped driveway. He noted that the use of these buildings to house electronic control equipment prevents digging up streets to run conduit. Acting Chairperson Stefani asked for questions and comments from the audience. January 22, 1985 Planning Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 HEARING, CASE #85-02, KUBES, SUBDIVISION Commission Minutes, Page Two Mr.'Dennis Kurth, 1096 Cullen Avenue, stated that he lives across the street from this proposal and asked'if there were any other possible sites for the location~of this structure. He stated that he did not want to look at this 'building as he left his front door. Ms. Virginia Flo, 2170 South Lexington, owner of the property involved, stated that she is in favor of the proposal since her lot is very large and she is unab1:? to maintain it as it presently exists. She noted that_ her home is presently for sale, and that if this proposal is g"ranted approval, then she felt that she would be able to remain in her home and maintain the smaller lot size. There being no further questions or comments from the audience, Commissioner Henning moved to close the public hearing at 8:30 P.M. Commissioner Morson seconded the -motion. Commissioner Morson moved to recommend approval of th1 variances as needed, the conditional use permit and lk.t division as requested, conditioned upon the driveway being constructed straight, rather than as a "T", th the building be constructed to resemble a residential garage as much as possible, that the electric meter .be located on the rear of the building, rather than on t}:' front, and that the necessary landscaping be approved by City staff, so that there will be no aesthetic problems with screening. Commissioner Henning seconded the motion. Acting Chairperson Stefani called the meeting to order for the purpose of a public hearing on an application from Mr. Raymond Kubes, 645 Callahan Place, for the subdivision of Lot 30, Willow Springs Addition. The property contains 202 feet of frontage and has a depth of 215 feet. There was some question as to the exact placement of the existing home on the lot and it was suggested to Mr. Kubes that a survey should be obtained to show the exact location of the structure. There were no questions or comments from the audience. Chairperson Kruse arrived at 8:40 P.M. Commissioner Morson moved to close the public hearing at 8:42 P.M. Commissioner Stefani seconded the motion. January 22, 1985 Planning Commission Minutes, Page Three Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DISCUSSION HEARING, CASE #85-03, KREY, SUBDIVISION Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT DISCUSSION Acting Chairperson Stefani moved to recommend approval of the lot division for Lot 30, Willow Springs Addition, provided Mr. Kubes obtain a lot survey to show the exact location of the home on the lot prior to City Council approval. Commissioner Burke seconded the motion. Planner Dahlgren reviewed the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment Housing Element which was reviewed by the Commission members. Planner Dahlgren noted that changes to the plan start on page 21 in the book. He noted that the City should set a goal for subsidized housing units for low or moderate income families. He suggested encouraging an additional 70 housing units for low and moderate income households in the next five years, with 40 units targeted for senior citizens and 30 units for families. It was also suggested that the City plan for an additional 50 new modest cost market rate housing units in the next five years. Planner Dahlgren noted that there are currently 46 such units. Acting Chairperson Stefani called the meeting to order for the purpose of a public hearing on an application from Mr. James Krey, 933 Chippewa Avenue, for the subdivision of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 3, C.D. Pierce Addition. Mr. Krey owns three 40 foot lots and desires to combine them to make two lots containing 66' and 66'8". Mr. Krey stated that he proposes to build a new home for himself on the new lot and that it would have an attached garage and a walkout basement. There were no questions or comments from the audience. Commissioner Kruse moved to close the public hearing at 9:10 P.M. Commissioner Burke seconded the motion. Commissioner Kruse moved to recommend approval of the subdivision as requested. Commissioner Morson seconded the motion. The Commission continued their earlier discussion of the housing element amendment. Several typographical errors were noted and there were questions on the statistics on page 3. Commissioner Burke questioned the land use of the School District in Zones 3 and 6. January 22, 1985 Planning Commission Minutes, Page Four Ayes: 3 Nays: 2, Kruse, Henning VERBAL REVIEW ADJOURN Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 ';The ,commission expressed -concern over the 40% housing for senior -citizens and 30% family housing units, noteu on page 21. -Commissioner Kruse felt that a Developer's Agreement might be needed to have the developer provide moderate income housing, as on page 22. He also expressed concern over the adoption of a Certificate of Occupancy program, as -on page 23. He felt that the City should .not take options away from the buyer or the seller ;an,I that this might be particularly hard on low income buyers. Planner Dahlgren noted that this is a very controversial issue in most cities. Mr. Kruse felt that the word "consider" rather than "adopt" a Certificate of Occupancy program should be used. Acting Chairperson Stefani felt that provisions for a driveway, as well as a garage, should be made in the future. Acting Chairperson Stefani moved to recommend that staff forward this amendment, as amended, on to Met- ropolitan Council staff for an informal review. Commissioner Kruse felt that the City Council should look at this first, prior to an informal review by Metropolitan Council staff. There was some discussion as to what the next course u: action should be and the Commission voted on Stefani'- motion. Public Works Director Danielson gave a verbal review f:k the Grappendorf and Rush cases that had been before the City Council. There being no further business to come before the Commission, Commissioner Kruse moved that the meeting be adjourned. Commissioner Morson seconded the motion. TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 9:45 o'clock P.M. DATE: 22 January 1985 CASE NUMBER: 85-02 APPLICANT: Raymond Kubes LOCATION: North side of Callahan Place ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Lot Division PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Mr. Rubes' property at 645 Callahan Place has 202 feet of frontage on the street and a depth of 215 feet. He proposes to divide the land into two 101 foot lots. The division, of course exceeds the minimum lot frontage of 100 feet and lot area of 15,000 square feet. 2. When discussing this with Mr. Kubes at a staff meeting recently, we suggested that it would be important that he accurately locate the existing house. There appears to be some question as to its exact location, which could materially effect the proposed subdivision. Unless the house can be accurately located by some other means, the most appropriate solution would be the preparation of a survey delineating this structure relevant to the lot lines. 3. As you know, many such lots in this area of the City have been divided`"in the past in a manner similar to that proposed by Mr. Rubes. It will be important to remind Mr. Kubes that any structure built on the new lot would have to conform to the existing setbacks. 4. The engineering staff indicates the provisions for utilities are available, and that there would appear to be no technical reason why the division would not meet development requirements and would in fact create a highly desirable single family residential lot. 9+ f •0 ADS^ 3 ! 4 191.9 No TrL Z 3 33'2 0 • t0 . t t M L7 N 20 L 4 so 1 28 20 t.

Kishel City Engineer SUBJECT: Northland Drive Extension G & L Properties Job No. 8427 INTRODUCTION: The following is a narrative of staff's effort to obtain street right of way to extend Northland Drive east of State Trunk Highway 55 to serve landlocked developable property. BACKGROUND In the process of constructing FAI 494 in the vicinity of STH 55 in Mendota Heights, Mn/DOT acquired a considerable amount of right of way for construction purposes, some of which became expendable after the highway was completed. Pre- viously, G & L Properties acquired a parcel of land in the southeast quadrant of Mendota Heights Road and STH 55 which was also almost completely landlocked. Recently, G & L Properties petitioned for a street extension to provide theirs and other developable properties in this southeast quadrant with access to a public highway. DISCUSSION: After completion of state highways, Mn/DOT has had a practice of disposing of excess construction right of way to municipalities or to private developers to minimize maintenance and acquisition costs. In this case, it appears that by acquiring about one half acre of land from Mn/DOT, it is possible to construct a cul-de-sac extension of Northland Drive on the east side of STH 55. See attached drawing. G & L Properties has requested that such property be acquired. See attached letter from legal counsel for G & L Properties. So as to be able to proceed in an orderly manner, staff has been in contact with Mn/DOT officials regarding the land acquisition, and with favorable encour- agement, we submitted a preliminary request, dated January 16, 1985, copy at- tached, to Mr. Kermit K. McRae, District Engineer for Mn/DOT. We were told that a resolution from the Council, requesting the right of way, was needed to offi- cially instigate Mn/DOT action. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendsthat Council approve the right of way acquisition for the extension of Northland Drive. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council concurs with staff recommendation it should pass a motion adopt- ing Resolution No. 85- , Resolution Accepting Petition And Ordering The Acqui- sition from the Minnesota Department Of Transportation of certain excess right of way to construct the extension of Northland Drive east of State Trunk Highway Noo. 55. -CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 23, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fra P2 - City Admi strator SUBJECT: Contractor License Revocation INTRODUCTION At the January 15th meeting, Council deleted the firms of Ralph's Plumbing from the list of excavation licenses to be approved, and Minnesota Federal Sav- ings and Loan from the list of general contractor licenses. Staff was directed to review the issue of these licensesfor the next meeting. The purpose of this memo is to set forth a process for further Council review. BACKGROUND City Ordinance No. 601 (copy attached), is the controlling legislation in the licensing of general contractors and excavators, as well as many other trades. The ordinance does not provide for the licensing of plumbers; that is done by the State of Minnesota. Ordinance No. 601 sets forth two tests. The first, Section 8, is for the initial granting of licenses - "Each applicant for a license shall satisfy the Council that he is competent by reason of education, special training, exper- ience, and that he is equipped to perform the work for which a license is requested..." The second test, Section 9, spells out the conditions for revocation or suspension of a license - "The Council may suspend or revoke the license of any person licensed under this Ordinance, whose work is found to be improper or defective or so unsafe as to jeopardize life or property." Section 9 goes on to stipulate that a license holder will be given twenty (20) days notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to any revocation or suspension. Minnesota Federal first took out a general contractor license in January, 1982. Ralph's Plumbing first received an excavation license in January, 1981. These names were on the January 15th list for 1985 license renewals. Application for those renewals was made prior to expiration of the 1984 licenses. Under the language of Section 5 of Ordinance 601, it appears that annual license renewal is not the same as an initial application, where the applicant must prove his qualifications. Therefore, denial of a license to either of the above firms would likely fall under the revocation and suspension provisions of Section 9. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS I have discussed the issue with City Attorneys Sherm Winthrop and Tom Hart. What follows is their opinion and suggestions, peppered with some of my own. (Hopefully I will not be sued for practicing law without a license!) Revocation of a license is a particularly serious undertaking, which re- quires a very delicate balancing between the right of a'private iodividuaI'or firm to practice his craft, versus the right and obligation of government to maintain a safe environment for its citizens. To deny someone license is, in effect, to deny him the right to work and earn a profit. The holding of a government granted license to engage in a particular business has generally been ^beld by the -courts to be a property right, which cannot be taken away'witbout substantive and procedural due process. Arguably, anti-trust and civil rights statutes could also be brought into play in challenging a license denial or revocation. Having "sounded the alarm" on one side of the issue, let me give due atten- tion to the other. Despite all of tbe'couceroa about protecting the individual's Tights, government does have an affirmative obligation to enforce its laws and ordinances, and to protect citizens against actions by private individuals that infringe on the public welfare. In summary, if the Council has a basis to suspect that past performance of a licensee meets the revocation test under Section 9 - "whose work is found to be improper or defective or so unsafe as to jeopardize life or property," - then it does have an affirmative obIi8atiop to investigate that matter and take appropriate follow-up action. One last legal consideration to keep in mind is the nature of the codes and standards the City is rightfully enforcing with regard to the two licensees under question: 1. Conditions or stipulations of the plat approval. 2. General standards of the appropriate zoning district (i.e., height, required setbacks, minimum square footage, etc.). 3. The State of Minnesota building code. We arenot authorized by State statute or local ordinance to enforce aesthetic standards. Also, the City would want to be extremely cautious in getting involved in disputes between a licensee and his customer, where the issue is one of contractual obligatiou. Except in cases of gross abuse or miorayreaeudstioo, these matters should more appropriately be resolved through civil litigation. RECORD OF MN FEDERAL AND RALPH'S PLUMBING As Council is aware, Mn. Federal is the developer and major builder of the Delaware Crossing subdivision. As noted, they have held a general contractor license since January, 1982. Under that type of license, they would be entitled to directly hire various trades craftsmen to perform building work. To the best of staff's knowledge, they have never done so, but rather have used sub -contract- ors separately licensed by the City or State. However, they indicate that they maintain the license to keep open the direct -hire option. Staff has never received any complaints against Minnesota Federal that would be covered under the auspices of a general contractor's license. We have been aware of neighborhood concern about the general quality of the development, but, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no violations of City codes. Ralph's Plumbing has been a' major plumbing subcontractor on the Delaware Crossing project. As Council is aware, plumbers are licensed by the State De- partment of Health. Section 8 of Ordinance 601 stipulates that when a State license is required, no City license will also be required. Therefore, com- plaints against a plumber should be filed with the state. Ralph's Plumbing was on the January 15th list for an excavation permit. Staff is unaware of any complaints against this firm in connection with their excavation work. SUMMARY As discussed above, City action to revoke or suspend a license must be carried out on an objective basis, with consideration given to procedural, as well as substantive due process. Staff is unaware of any formal complaints that would serve as a basis for initiating revocation proceedings against Minnesota Federal or Ralph's Plumbing. This is not to say that there is not a sufficient basis if Council is aware of complaints that would meet the revocation/suspension criteria set forth in Ordin- ance 601. Because these are license renewals, rather than initial applications, the revocation/suspension process would be the controlling part of the ordinance. Since that section clearly requires a 20 day prior notice, I would recommend that Council act to grant the renewals until a final determination is made. To do otherwise could leave the City open to a charge of deprivation of property rights without due process. ACTION REQUIRED Based on the above analysis and comments, it is recommended that Council take the following actions: 1. Act to approve the license renewals of Minnesota Federal Savings and Loan for a general contractor's license, and of Ralph's Plumbing for an excavation license. 2. Based on its own knowledge, Council should determine if there is probable cause to conduct an investigation into whether either of the firms have violated Ordinance 601 to a degree that license suspension or revocation should be considered. 3. If the answer to number 2 is affirmative, direct staff to notify the two firms that a potential suspension or revocation of their license will be considered by the Council on March 5, 1985, and further direct staff to solicit written complaints from aggrieved individuals that can be entered into the record of proceedings.

Danielson Public Works Director trator SUBJECT: Northwestern Bell Telephone Equipment Building Conditional Use Permit Case No, 85-01 DISCUSSION: The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their January meeting to discuss an application by Northwestern Bell Telephone Company (NWBT) to construct a service building at the corner of Cullen Avenue and Lexington Avenue. (See attached reports) Mr. Kurth, who lives across the street from where this building is proposed to be constructed, complained that he would see the building as he left his front door. He objected. NWBT has therefore submitted a revised site plan with the building location further north and east attempting to totally screen Mr. Kurth's line of site.

JOHN DREW TREATMENT PUMPING January 28, 1985 Mr. Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 Dear Mr. Frazell: - • DISTRIBUTION Your letter to me of December 20, 1984, requested information regarding the increase in water rates effective on 1985 water bill- ings. As,you know, the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Saint Paul derives the money needed to operate the Water Utility primarily from the sale of water. Revenues from the sale of water are obtained from two separate charges -- consumption and demand or fixed charge. The water rate schedule adopted by the Board, to be applied to 1985 water billings, provides for no increase in demand charge. The increase in consumption charge results in an increase in the quarterly water bill of $1.20 over a comparable 1984 billing for a household in Mendota Heights which uses 1500 cubic feet of water ( approximately 11,220 gallons); that is, $17.94 vs. $16.74. The difference of 40 cents per month represents an increase of 7.2 percent over 1984 charges for an account with this amount of water usage. The increase in water rates was necessary to finance necessary capital improvements and meet the Board's rising costs in operating the Water Utility including an anticipated increase of 7.7 percent in the cost of materials, supplies and services purchased by the 4111 1t OOR CliY 1ALL ANNI.X SE PAUL MINNESOTA 55102 Mr. Kevin D.

Kishel City Engineer SUBJECT: Trail System - Curley's Addition Job No. 8409 INTRODUCTION: This memo concerns the construction of the City Trail System, particularly a short segment from Wagon Wheel Trail to Curley's Addition on the west side of FAI 35E. DISCUSSION: As part of the construction of a bridge on Wagon Wheel Trail over FAI 35E, Mn/DOT destroyed an existing trail from Wagon Wheel Trail to Curley's Addition and in so doing, reconstructed it with an 8 foot wide bituminous trail for the length it was located within the highway construction limits. A sound wall was installed by Mn/DOT between the trail and the highway with the result that Mn/DOT no longer needs the right of way where the trail is located. In that it has been standard practice for Mn/DOT to dispose of excess parcels such as this, and because the trail is part of the City system, it is adviseable to formally request that the right of way on which the path is located be deeded over to the City. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached Resolution and to instruct staff to proceed with negotiations to obtain the right of way, as shown on the attached drawing. ACTION REQUIRED: If agreeable, Council should adopt Resolution No. 85- , Resolution Accept- ing Engineer's Report And Directing Staff To Negotiate With The Minnesota Depart- ment Of Transportation For Trail Right Of Way, and direct staff to proceed with the acquisition.

Minnesota CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS TO: Mayor, City Council and Cit FROM: Edward F. Kishel City Engineer SUBJECT: Trail System FAI 35E - Rogers Lake Job No. 8409 INTRODUCTION: MEMO Xstrator January 28, 1985 In the process of constructing Highway 35E from STH 110 to FAI 494, Mn/DOT acquired right of way adjacent to Rogers Lake between Mendota Heights Road and Wagon Wheel Trail to the water's edge of Rogers Lake as shown on the attached drawing. Subsequent to the completion of highway construction, a right of way fence was installed leaving a substantial amount of land between the fence and the lakeshore as excess property. DISCUSSION: During the many years of planning Highway 35E through Mendota Heights, it's location adjacent to Rogers Lake was moved laterally several times, thus the need for acquiring land all the way to the lake. During this planning stage, Mn/DOT staff members indicated that when the highway was completed and the right of way fence was located, that the land between the fence and lake shore would be returned to the City for park purposes. With that thought in mind, City staff has considered this a good location for a trail and has included it in the Master Plan for the Trail System. RECOMMENDATION: With the anticipation of a trail project, it is recommended that the right to construct a trail between Mendota Heights Road and Wagon Wheel Trail adjacent to Rogers Lake be obtained as soon as possible. Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached Resolution and to instruct staff to proceed with negotiations to obtain the right of way as shown on the attached drawing. ACTION REQUIRED: If agreeable, Council should adopt Resolution No. 85- , Resolution Accepting Engineer's Report And Directing Staff To Negotiate With The Minnesota Department Of Transportation For Trail Right Of Way and direct staff to proceed with the acquisition. City of Mendota Heights Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 85 - RESOLUTION ACCEPTING,ENGINEER'S REPORT AND DIRECTING STAFF TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR TRAIL RIGHT OF WAY WHEREAS, the City Engineer has submitted a report to the City Council with respect to the acquisition of highway right of way as part of the City Trail System; and NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, as follows: 1.

Swanson City Clerk Page No. 2201 January 29, 1985 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY STATE OF MINNESOTA Minutes of the Joint Workshop Meeting Held Tuesday, January 29, 1985 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the joint workshop meeting of the the City 7,ouncil, Task Force, Planning Commission and Park and Recreation Commission, was held at 7:30 o'clock P.M., at City Hall, 750 South Plaza Drive, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. Mayor Lockwood called the meeting to order at 7:40 o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Mayor Lockwood, Councilmembers Blesener, Cummins, Hartmann and Witt. The following members of the Task Force were present: Blesener, Burke, McMonigal, Shepard, Brenner, Roszak and Cummins. Kevin Howe was absent and Gus Hipp sat in for Fred Lambrecht. Planning Commissioners present included Stefani, Kruse, Henning, Morson and Park Commission member Schneeman. PRELIMINARY REMARKS BY KEVIN FRAZELL, CITY ADMINISTRATOR AND EX - OFFICIO CHAIR OF TASK FORCE PROJECT BACKGROUND AND TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS, PLANNER DAHLGREN C Administrator Frazell summarized the six months of work that had been done by the Task Force in arriving at the recommendation. He indicated that although the Task Force had not been able to come to complete unanimity on all of the recommendations, the report, nonetheless, was a valuable document in setting forth the pros and cons of the issues of development in the 110/149 area. Planner Dahlgren presented a brief history of planning efforts in the area, beginning with the platting of the Friendly Hills subdivision and Mn/DOT plans for the 149 roadway in the mid -50's. He also talked about construction of the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center, the proposed Mendakota redevelopment, and trafficway concerns in the area. Planner Dahlgren concluded by presenting the 13 recommendations of the Task Force: 1. Highway 149 (Dodd Road) should remain on its existing alignment. 2. South Plaza Drive should be extended north across Highway 110 as a local access road, including a pedestrian and bicycle trail. This would not be an interchange with Highway 110, but a grade separated crossing, given an acceptable financing plan. 3. Safety improvements to the Highway 110/Highway 149 intersection should be pursued with Mn/DOT. The Task Force recommends raising the entire intersection to reduce the grades coming into the intersection. This would have the added benefit of allowing South Plaza Drive to be extended as an underpass at 110, improving the visibility of the Central Commercial Area and the accessibility of ;Page N. .2202 .January.29,.T985 the South Plaza Drive extension. 4. Right-of-way for Highway 149 should be expanded from its current 66 feet to 100 feet by dedication and acquisition, from Decorah Lane on the south to the terminus of extended South Plaza Drive on the north. 5. Mn/DOT should release the lands held in the reserved right-of-way for 'Highway 149, with the City to acquire fee title 'to that portion south of the north property line of the Friendly Hills plat for permanent open space and bike :bail. .6. No land should be held or acquired by Mn/DOT for a future interchange at the 110/149 intersection. 7. For any future development in the abandoned Tight -of - way along the South Plaza Drive extension, the land use should be commercial west of the road, and residential east of it. This would apply both north of Highway 110 to Freeway Road, and south of Highway 110. 8. The Council should respond favorably to proposals set before them which will increase the scope and quality of commercial uses in the presently zoned business area, so as to serve as a desirable and viable focal point for community services. 9. The City code should be amended to establish a Business PUD Zoning District. The Task Force further recommends that the Council respond favorably to a proposal for a quality commercial development on the northeast corner of the Mendakota Country Club land under this new zoning classification. This will not only add a quality development to the area, but will help keep the golf course in the community. 10. The feasibility of establishing a tax increment financing district, to finance public improvements in the area, should be analyzed. Tax increment funds, together with funding from other sources, should be used to finance the extension of South Plaza Drive and its crossing of Highway 110, and other public improvements in the area. 11. The City should coordinate with Dodge Nature Preserve on the use of the northwest corner of the• Center,.abutting the extension of South Plaza Drive, in a manner consistent with their interests and those of the City. •L. 12. Encourage the upgrading and expansion of the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center. Page No. 2203 January 29, 1985 13. The old fire station and contiguous commercial deve- lopments to the south should be redeveloped for a use consistent with the surrounding residential areas, utili- zing tax increment financing. Planner Dahlgren concluded by saying that he thought it was important that some type of plan, whatever its specifics, be adopted for the area. The Mayor then opened the meeting for discussion and questions. Councilwoman Witt asked about traffic counts on 35E and 149, to which Planner Dahlgren responded that he was unaware of any recent studies by Mn/DOT. Councilmember Witt said that she agreed with Councilmember Blesener about not designating a specific use for the 149 easement that would be released as part of the plan. Mr. Jim Wenker, a representative of Howard Bergerud Associates, developer of the proposed shopping center, gave a brief discussion of their ideas for development. Mr. Wenker said that their group had done several shopping areas in Minnesota, including Park Square Court in St. Paul, two of the buildings at Victoria Crossing, Hill Plaza in St. Paul, and the Riverside Mall in Rochester. He indicated that they were also working on conversion of some flour mills on the riverfront in Minneapolis to commercial and residential uses. He said that their area of expertise is in the "specialty retail" portion of the market. For the Mendakota site, Mr. Wenker said that no specific plans had been drawn up. However, in general they envisioned a one or two story building of 50,000 to 100,000 square feet, with 12 to 20 tenants, and probably a couple of restaurants. He said that he felt they were targeting at a market that is not fulfilled either by large regional malls such as Burnsville Center, or a smaller strip center, such as Southview Square. Councilmember Cummins raised a question about the timing of the development on the Mendakota property. Mendakota representative Brenner responded that the 10 to 11 acres of commercial development would not be released until Mendakota had been able to rebuild and restructure the golf course, and demolish the old club house and replace it with a new one. He indicated that development of the housing on the Perkegwin land and the club house would have to get the first approval from the City before any commercial land would be released, and at the very earliest, mid 1986 would be the groundbreaking for a commercial center. Page No. 2204 Jdnua'ry 29, 1985 Mr. Brenner went on to add that the club was asking Bergerud Associates to put up a letter of credit, contingent upon favorable Council action on their proposal, to ensure that they wouidlbe around when it was time for the commercial development. Mr. Wenker responded that they would be ready to proceed with their committments whenever the City gave its approval. Park Commissioner Mary .Jeanne-Schneeman indicated that while she had originally been skeptical about this type of shopping center in Mendota Heights, she was now convinced that the community could use something of this quality. Planning Commission Chairperson Cameron Kruse said that he generally .Liked the plan, but felt that there were a lot of "ifs" in it, and that those would have to be cleared and tightened up as we proceeded. He also indicated that he did not like the idea of placing the City Hall on such expensive land, but would prefer that that land be used for some tax generating purpose. He also said that he thought it was important that we have a strong professional opinion on the market viability of any new commercial center. Task Force member John Roszak discussed the reasons for his objection to task force recommendation No. 9, on rezoning the Mendakota property. He said that he thought that the recommendation was that the Council should look favorably upon a proposal for this development, and that he thought it was very important that the data supporting that recommendation and Council decision be available. Therefore, he said that he had objected to making.the recommendation. Task Force member Lou Brenner responded that he thought the purpose of the Task Force was not to tell the Council specifically how to vote on rezoning, but to provide a general comprehensive plan for the area from which. the Council could react. He also pointed out that in the Task Force deliberations, it was understood that much of the money to build the extended South Plaza Drive would come from the tax increment district generated by the additional development, and that the road is something the City really wants. He added that the developers are not asking for any public subsidy of their private investment. City Planner Howard Dahlgren gave a brief presentation on the concept of a Business Planned Unit Development -_zoning concept. It was indicated that this could be usethas an alternative to simply rezoning the property to some existing zoning classification in the City code, to provide the City with a much higher level of control over Page No. 2205 January 29, 1985 the type and quality of development that could be placed on the property. Nr. Dahlgren indicated that the only "right" the landowner would have would be to develop something consistent with the precise PUD that had been approved for the site, rather than just meeting the general code requirements for a business zoned district. Mayor Lockwood said that he thought the Councils number one priority ought to be how we finance a separated road crossing, since this had been a concern to the community for a long time. Planning Commissioner Morson said that he thought the extended South Plaza Drive would become a heavily used alternative to going through the 110/149 intersection, and that it should therefore be designed very carefully, particularly the turn off Dodd Road. Task Force alternate Gus Hipp said that he also was concerned about the amount of traffic that would be coming into the area to support the shopping centers. Councilmember Cummins said that he thought we needed a good analysis of traffic at the South Plaza Dcive/149 area, so that we weren't simply moving a hazardous traffic situation from 110/149 a block to the south. City Planner Dahlgren responded that "T" intersections are the safest kind. A typical cross intersection has 16 possible points of car collision, whereas a "1`/ intersection has only 3. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that frequently "T" intersections don't even have traffic lights, although if the area meets the "warrants", the City could petition Mn/DOT for installation of traffic signals. Planner Dahlgren went on to say that the amount of commercial development proposed in the Task Force report is relatively small, compared to the size of the community and the potential market. He also said that he thought that heavy use of the new South Plaza Drive "crossover" would simply mean that it was serving its purpose, and he that a significant traffic problem would be created. Planning Commission Chairperson Kruse indicated that projections show the population of Mendota Heights will increase by about bO% before the community reaches saturation, which will create more traffic. He said therefore, it was unrealistic to feel that we could maintain our rather low traffic levels, and we are going to have to face that issue anyway. ADJOURN ATTEST: Robert C. Lockwood Mayor Page No. 206 j'ahijary 10, 085 Task Force member Brenner uaid'Opt Mn/DQT took population and traffic projection figures into account in deciding not to build a relocated 149 on the easterly alignment. He said that obviously if the main concern was traffic safety, that would have been the best place for the roadway, but Mn/DOT did not feel that was justified. Mayor Lockwood said that he did not think the Council needed to take any formal action this evening, but it was important to think of follow—up actions to be taken. Councilmembcc Cummins agreed that the Planning Commission, Council and others should begin analyzing the report. MondakoLa representative Brenner said that while they realized the plans would have to receive more of a hearing, they would like some feeling for the position of the City on considering this development. Mayor Lockwood asked if the Planning Commission and Planning Consultant Howard Dahlgren could come up with a series of objectives to be accomplished, along with some timing, to which the Council could react. He also suggested that the Council officially receive both the Task -Force Report, -and the Minority Report which had been aubmjLtedxc its next meeting. Planner Dahlgren responded that there are several specific steps chat the City could take in considering whether to implement Lhe plan' and that they could outline those proceducea. It was agreed that that should be completed, and come back before the Council for its consideration at a subsequent meeting. .' It was also agreed that the upcoming issue of the City newsletter should include some coverage on the Planning effort. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 / ock P.H. ` .^� l Kevin D. Frazell « City Administrator MEMORANDUM January 29, 1985 TO: Mayor, City Council, City Ad 11 trator FROM: Dennis J. Delmont, Chief of Police 40 SUBJECT: 1985 Squad Cars Introduction The Police Department is requesting permission to purchase two 1985 Chevrolet Impala squad cars from Thane Hawkins Chevrolet for a total cost of $22,688. His tory As you may know, we must replace our squad cars on a rotating basis, keeping them in service for two years and approximately 70,000 miles. Marked cars are repainted and used the second year as unmarked cars. We have a fleet of five (5) vehicles and replace two (2) per year. In the third year we replace three (3) vehicles. Discussion Again this year, we have reviewed the bids received by Ramsey, Hennepin and Washington Counties, and will base our decision on the best vehicle available for the least money. This year, the bids by the three major manufacturers were exceptionally close. Alternative The low three bids for full size vehicles equipped for our Department were: Brookdale Ford LTD CV - $11,322.24 White Bear Dodge Diplomat - $11,241 Thane Hawkins Chevrolet Impala - $11,344 Because of the fact that high and low bids are only $103 apart, I have polled the officers and staff and checked with the City Mechanic to get their input. Based on their experience of living in and operating the different vehicles for 10 hours a day, the officers recommend Chevrolets. Based on their experience in maintaining and repairing the vehicles, the City Mechanics recommend Chevrolet. Recommendation That Council approve the ordering of two 1985 Chevrolet Impala police cars. Vehicles will be delivered :in approximately 120 days. Action Required Council authorize Chief of Police to order and purchase under present purchasing policy. J CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 30, 1985 TO; Mayor, City Council and City Adrryir-i rator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Krey Subdivision Case No. 85-03 DISCUSSION: The Planning Commission conducted the required public hearing at their January meeting to consider an application by Mr. Krey to create two build- able lots from three substandard ones. Reports attached. RECOMMENDATION: There was no public present at the hearing in opposition to the request, therefore the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the subdivision. ACTION REQUIRED: There is no requirement for a public hearing at Council level for subdivisions. Council should review the information, discuss with applicant any concerns and if they desire to implement the Planning Commission recom- mendation, pass a motion approving the preliminary plat subject to the applicant submitting a site survey prepared by a registered surveyor. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. F i p City Admi strator SUBJECT: Appointment of Charles Mertensotto to MAC/City Joint Disposition Committee January 30, 1985 As you are aware, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) acquired approximately 60 acres of land near Pilot Knob Road over a decade ago. The purpose was to remove residential structures for safety and noise conflict purposes. For many years, the City has been eager to see this land returned to the tax rolls via business development. For the past couple of years, we have been working with a joint committee, comprised of representatives of the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the City to try to achieve this dis- position. Although we have not seen much progress lately, there is reason to believe that there are parties interested in purchasing the property, and we should be prepared to react. Former Council member Chuck Mertensotto was one of the City represent- atives on the task force. During its formation stages, Chuck was appointed as Chair of the Committee, putting us at an advantage in seeing that the property was developed in a manner consistent with our wishes. Since Chuck is no longer a member of the City Council, it raises the question of whether he is still the City's representative to the MAC/City disposition committee. RECOMMENDATION For the sake of continuity, and because the City currently holds the Chair of the Committee, it would be my recommendation that the Council take official action to continue having Chuck as our representative. Chuck has indicated that he would be willing to continue in this capacity. ACTION REQUIRED Motion to appoint Charles Mertensotto as a continuing City representative on the MAC/City Joint Disposition Committee.

Kishel City Engineer SUBJECT: Cherry Hills 2nd Addition Drainage Problem Job No. 8425 Improvement No. 84, Project No. 5 INTRODUCTION: Surface water drainage in Cherry Hills 2nd Addition has been a matter which has appeared before the Council on a number of occasions during the past year. The following is a brief report relative to its present status. DISCUSSION: Since Mr. Adolphus Gaddy, 1387 Farmdale Road and Mr. David Trudeau, 1385 Farmdale Road appeared before the Council on July 10, 1984 to report a surface water problem on Mr. Gaddy's property, staff has investigated the matter and have prepared three memos to the Council, on August 10th, September 17th, and on October 26, 1984. In each instance, the property owners were not satisfied and continued to make other suggestions. At the direction of the Council, the October 26th memo contained six alter- natives. Scheme E in that memo considered the possibility of blocking a culvert under Wachtler Avenue and diverting all surface water northward on the east side of Wachtler Avenue to the Emerson Avenue intersection where a limited capacity storm sewer system is located. This scheme was first suggested by the property owners and the Council directed that it be included as a possible solution. Staff considers this to be the least desirable method for solving the problem, as is noted in the October 26th memo. On January 4, 1985, the interested property owners in Cherry Hill 2nd trans- mitted a letter to the County Highway Engineer requesting his response to Scheme E. (See attached copy) This is because Wachtler Avenue is a county road and requires county approval to make any changes in the drainage along this roadway. On Monday, January 21st, Jim and I visited with the County Highway Engineer and his staff to discuss the matter. No conclusions were reached in that the County Highway Engineer intended to bring the matter up to the County Board of Commissioners before responding to the letter from residents in Cherry Hill 2nd Addition. Staff intends to do nothing further until the County responds. RECOMMENDATION: None ut'thio time. COUNCIL ACTION: None. This memo is informational only. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 31, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin City Ad istrator 4SUBJECT: iRental of Last Space in the'Old Fire Station Attached is a letter from Mr. Frank J. Thera, President of Lindal Cedar Homes, requesting -that he be allowed to rent the two bays in the upper northwest corner of the old fire station, as well as the office directly behind those bays. Although he observes that this space is approximately the same square footage as that being rented to Fischer's Towing, in actuality it is somewhat less. However, I feel that the $140.00 per month would be fair, since the price on the space rented to Fischer's was on the basis of its potential use for parking vehicles, and not on a square footage basis. The differing sections 6f the fire station have now been walled off from one another, so that it is possible for.each lessee to have a secured space. I have discussed the rental of this space with Harry Kirchner, and he indicates that he has no problem with us renting the additional bays to Lindal Cedar Homes. It is recommended that Council approve the leasing of this space to Lindal Cedar Homes at a monthly rate of $140.00. This will mean that the fire station is completely in use now, and that we are receiving $450 per month rent foethe space. ACTION REQUIRED Motion to approve the rental of two bays and adjoining office in the old fire station to Lindal Cedar Homes in the amount of $140.00 per month, under terms and conditions similar to those for other lessees.

I am assuming that the rent would be $140. per month, which would include the two drive in bays, and the smaller room to the East. The total area of these rooms appears to be about the same square footage as the space you are now renting to Harry. We would be using this space to store some of our construction equipment (Trucks, Ladders, Scaffolding, Etc.).

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 31, 1985 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Ad n saator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: I -35E/110 Interchange DISCUSSION The City has recently received two complaints from residents about the interchange of Trunk Highway 110 and I -35E. The first is a letter from Paul Perrault, 667 North Freeway Road, (His letter is attached). The second is from Kathi Den Bleyker, 1952 Crown Point Drive and was received January 30 by phone. Ms. Den Bleyker states that at night when entering I -35E from Trunk Highway 110 on the ramp going north, car lights from on -coming exiting southbound I -35E traffic blind drivers. She states this problem exists during rush hour in the evening and can be very hazardous. RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels these are two valid concerns that need to be studied. Staff recommends that the City Council forward the complaints to Mn/DOT District 9 Engineer for their study and further action. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation they should direct that a letter be prepared forwarding these concerns to the Mn/DOT District 9 Engineer for his action. AN 2 54985 ..January 21, 1985 Mayor & City Council City of Mendota Heights 750 South Pldza Drive Mendota Heights, Mn. 55120 bear IvIaor & City Council Members am writing in regard to, what 1 believe to be, asignificant traTfic problem in, and around, the recently opened I-35E/Hwy. 110 interchange. In my opinion, the interchange contains several deficiencies, which make it dangerous (there have already been several accidents) and inadequate for current and future needs. r:ome of those deficiencies are: 1. The necessity for !-:viy. 110 traffic to turn across oncoming traffic, and the associated traffic lights, make this area (coupled with the nearby Lexington Ave. and Podd Pd. lights) a virtual jumble of traffic lights and start/stop traffic. What was once an area through which one could proceed at a reasonable rate, has been reduced to a traffic bottleneck. Two to three light cycle waits at 357 are not uncommon (par- ticularly if one i:: proceeding westbound 110 to southbound 35F). (A minor point, but that particular crossover is so poorly made that it barely serves its function. The little bit of concrete in the median is either too small or at such an angle that only some,autos, and no trucks, seem to be able to negotiate the turn on the concrete - witness the rut -riddled medinn.) FIRE MARSHAL (Part -Time) The City of Mendota Heights (population 7,600) is seeking applications for the position of Fire Marshal. The City is served by a 34 member volunteer fire department.

There are no overhead 'freeway type' signs to advise Hwy. 110 traffic which lanes to be in for 35E. This is in sharp con- trast to some other 35E interchanges, such as W. 7th St. in St. Paul and Lone Oak Rd. in Eagan - both of which are non - divided, lower speed roadways than Hwy. 110. This lack of overhead signs particularly aggravates the westbound 110 to southbound 35E transition, especially when much of that traffic is (temporary I-494) semi -truck variety. (Keep in mind that those semi -trucks have just negotiated a fairly long uphill grade, only to stop at a red light at 35F; and then —if bound for I-494 - discover that they must make a left turn.) The northbound 35E to Hwy: 110 is not good. The 'loop' is too tight, and visibility is poor due to the curve or 35z there. Also, it does not flare out to more than one lane; therefore it cannot 'store' enough vehicles or 'clear' adequately for a given light cycle. This lack of flaring to more than one lane is also in sharp contrast to other 35': interchanges, Jiasc'h as Lone Cak Rd., Hwy. 110, Shepard 2,d. and W. 7th 2t. - most of which are non -divided and all of which are lower speed roadways than Hwy. 110. Additionally, the problems associated with this loop frequently cause traffic to back up under the bridge over 35E and beyond. This is not a serious problem at present (because the lane is 'dropped off' there), but it would be more serious in the future, if it becomes necessary to widen 35E to 5hepard Rd. (That, it seems, would be nocessnry if Shepard Rd. is to be upgradediinto St. Paul as the 3 'truck route'). 7 .) • In my opinion,'some short-term improvements should be implemented, as soon as possible. Two that should be done: addition of the pverhead signs, and flaring of the 'loop' to three lanes (one for traffic proceeding to westbound 110, and two for eastbound 110 traffic). It is also my hope that some long range impr-ovements are planned and implemented; ,and I ptrongj_y urge the City of MendotaTeights to work with Mn. DOT to obtain a reconstructed Hwy. 110/35E interchange that eliminates all of the deficiencies mentioned above, and which will be consistent with the safe, modern roadways that we all know Minnesotans can build. I am'most interested in your reaction (s) to this letter and would appreciate hearing from you regarding samo. Sincerely tal Paul ?errauit, 667 N. Freeway Pd.
