Surface water from Cherry Hill 1st Addition is being diverted through an 18 inch culvert under Wachtler Avenue, a county road, into- the yards of Cherry Hill 2nd Addition. We brought this matter to the attention of the Mendota Heights City Council and City Engineer last summer for resolution. The City Engineer pre- pared several solutions to this matter for the City Council to review. The solution that is the most acceptable to us is to block off the 18 inch culvert and divert the runoff water north along Wachtler Avenue. Enclosed is a drawing from the City Engineer, which describes this solution.(5(Ae,ne ,E) . Other solutions that create more open drainage ditches or holding areas are not acceptable from a safety aspect, due to the number of small children in the neigh- borhood. Diverting the water, north, along Wachtler Avenue would probably a.i-ne( i �.F.nAt the existing pond on the Wachtler property, which overflows from the runoff water onto the yards of the Cherry Hill 2nd Addition residents. We feel that this solution is the most reasonable and can be accomplished jointly between Mendota Heights and Dakota County on a timely basis and at a minimum cost. We will be waiting for your response very soon to solve this urgent problem.

The following members were present: Stein, Doffing, Knittig, McMonigal, Schneeman, Singer and Williams. Also present were Jim Danielson, Terry Blum and Andy Dolan, 1043 Brompton Place. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Minutes of the December 11, 1984 meeting were approved as submitted. TRAIL EASEMENT ON Andy Dolan, representing his father Thomas, came before the DOLAN PROPERTY Commission to discuss the need for a trail easement through a portion of their property to gain access to Ivy Falls Park. Previously, area residents used an adjacent lot for a "trail" but now the lot has a house on it. The Dolan's and several commission members concur that there is a definite problem. Therefore, the Commission directed that city staff contact the two landowners about acquiring an easement and what the sub- sequent costs would be for the sale and development. OUTDOOR VOLLEY- BALL COURT Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 OUTDOOR BASKET- BALL COURTS Having reviewed and discussed the memo from Mr. Danielson regarding the costs for an outdoor volleyball court, Williams moved that an outdoor volleyball court be constructed at Roger's Lake and that permanent posts be installed at Marie Park. McMonigal seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously passed and will be recommended to the City Council for approval. Having reviewed and discussed the memo from Mr. Danielson regarding the costs for outdoor basketball half courts, Schneeman moved that an outdoor basketball half court be constructed at each municipal park for a total of five (5) half courts. Doffing seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 2, Singer, Knittig MEETING WITH REP. ART SEABERG The motion passed and will be recommended to the City Council for approval. Stein and City Administrator Frazell met with State Representative Art Seaberg and Stein reported that Mr. Seaberg is very supportive of the backbone trail system currently under development. Seaberg will be meeting with Richard Braun, Mn/DOT Commissioner, to lobby for state funding of the trail through the capital improvements bill. It was also hoped that there would be funding for the Minnesota DNR to clear a trail from the 1-494 bridge to Fort Snelling. Park and Recreation Commission Minutes, Page Two January 84 1985 METROPOLITAN PARKS & OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT LEXINGTON AVENUE BIKE TRAIL Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 PARK MAINTENANCE RECREATION PROGRAM MISCELLANEOUS ADJOURN Stein reported that he and a number of other people had opplie, for a vacancy on the Metropolitan Parks and OpenSpace Committee. There had been a group interview and the results would be known later in the week. The Commission reviewed the estimated costs for the bike trail on Lexington Avenue between Marie Avenue and TB 110' The new cost estimate reflected the.additional costs for a trail that was not adjacent to Lexington Avenue, but separate from it. There yould have to be a fen.var,iaocaa due to the pond at the corner of Marie and on existing culvert, but Mr. Danielson felt there "would be few other problems. Doffing moved that the Commission direct the City staff to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for the separate trail on Lexiogtou.Aveomabetween Marie Avenue and T8 llU for submission to the City Council. Singer seconded the motion, and the motion passed uoaulmouaIy. Terry Blum reported that the ice rink continues to heave at Ivy Falls and that they will try to move the location of the rink next year. He will check on the possibility of using the small 'pond at'Roger's Lake as another ice rink. The back panels no the light boxes are now repaired at all of the ice rinks. Director Selander has not had any complaints concerning the rinks or the rink attendants. T -ball changes will be noted in the next Heights Hilites. Knittig and Singer will contact Selander in regard to a user survey to be published in the next edition of the Hilites. McMonigal will chair the February meeting due to Chairperson Stein's scheduled absence. Jim Danielson will discuss the status of researching other recreation programs with City Administrator Frazell. Schneeman will attend the next City Council meeting. The next meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission will be Tuesday, February 12, 1985, at 7:30 P.M. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Alan Singer, Secretary Engineering Offices January 4, 1985 Dear Resident: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS The City owns some parkland in your neighborhood that has been desig- nated to remain "wild and open". I have attached a map that illustrates that Park area. At the southwest corner of where Summit Lane intersects with Marie Avenue is the easterly boundary of that parkland and is also the north entrance to the Lexington Heights development. That portion of the park is basically flat and open without trees or shrubs and has the appear- ance of an undeveloped lot or weedpatch. Because this is the main entrance to this subdivision, it was recommended to the City Council and Park and Recreation Commission that a single family lot should be divided out and developed as a homesite. That homesite would provide for the corner to be compatible with the rest of the neighborhood. The Park and Recreation Commission and City Council have already indicated their desire to have this new lot created. They have polled some of the neighbors and found that their opinion was to sell the lot. The Council will make a final decision on whether to sell the lot at the January 15, 1985 City Council meeting. If you have any comments or concerns on the matter you may either contact me at 452-1086 before the meeting or attend the meeting and make a statement to the City Council. Sincerely, James E. Danielson, P.E. Public Works Director JED:dfw 750 South Plaza Drive • Mendota 1 {eights. Minnesota 55120 • 452-1086 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admin FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director ZP ?-• SUBJECT: Lexington Highlands - Park Lot Sale Job No. 8502 INTRODUCTION: January 7, 1984 At the December 4, 1984 City Council meeting the Council approved the con- cept of selling a portion of park land located at Summit Lane and Marie Avenue and directed staff to complete several tasks before they made a final decision on the matter: 1. Obtain estimates for appraisal and a survey. 2. Place the matter on Park and Recreation Agenda for their recommendations. 3. Put a sign on the lot notifying passers by of the City's intention to sell a lot. 4. Notify in writing the neighbors within 350 feet of the lot that a final decision on the lot sale would be made at the January 15, 1985 City Council meeting. DISCUSSION: Staff has completed its tasks: 1. An appraisal would cost approximately $300 and a survey $400. 2. The lot sale was presented to the Park and Recreation Commission at their December meeting and they concurred with the concept of the sale but felt the income from the sale should be put back in the general park fund and not be used to enhance the remaining land. 3. On December 20, 1984 a sign was posted on the lot stating that the City intended to sell the lot and asked for interested people to call City Hall with questions or comments. I received 9 calls from that sign, all from people interested in purchasing the lot. 4. Staff sent a letter to landowners within 350 feet of the lot on January 4, 1985 (attached). I received two calls on that letter, the first from Bill Rasher who owns the lot on opposite corner and he said to sell the lot, and the second from Dorothy Van Hoven, 1791 Summit Lane who said she was against the sale (she felt the area needed the open space and she wanted the lot landscaped.) ACTION REQUIRED: Even though this is not,tan official publicrhearing, staff,recommends Council conduct the meeting as a=hearing and allow residents attending the meeting to be heard. If after hearing and considering public input, Council desires to sell the.:lot,°they should direct staff to'order the. appraisal and survey. Upon completion of those items -staff will come back to council with a suggested sale price and,a request to advertise for sale. The advertisement should then be placed in the City's official newspaper asking for sealed bids that state the time and place to be opened and reserving the right to refuse all bids. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 7, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fra City Admi stra or' SUBJECT: Request for Rental of Space in Old Fire Station Attached is a letter from Mr. Richard J. Weinzettel, 2140 Dodd Road, req6esting rental of the two bays on the lower south end of the old fire station. Mr. — Weinzettel intends to use this space for storage of his snowplowing tractor, dump truck, and a pickup truck. Neither the police department, nor Harry Kirchner, who is renting some of the upper bays, has any objection to this arrangement. Since there are two bays involved, I would recommend that we charge the same $140 per month, as is being charged to Fischer's Towing. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, it should pass a motion authorizing the rental of the two lower south bays of the fire station to Mr. Richard J. Weinzettel, at a cost of $140 per month, under terms and conditions similar to those for the rental to Fischer's Towing. JAti -4 1985. Richard J.

Please let me know when my request is approved, or if you have any questions, call 45 -4659. Ri hard J. Weinzettel CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fraze City Adminis rator SUBJECT: Implementation of Radio System (January 7, 1985i At the January 3rd meeting, Council considered a report from our radio consultant, John DuBoisjdetaling needed improvements to the West St. Paul and Mendota Heights police, fire and public works radio systems. Included in the 1985 budget, as adopted by Council, is a total $127,200 for imple- mentation of the new radio system. Although the DuBois study has identified costs of up to $143,044 for Mendota Heights, Chief Delmont and I are relatively confident that the final cost of the system will be closer to the budgeted amount, due to cost savings from one year rather than three year implementation, and the fact that DuBois has made his cost estimates on the "high side" and included a 10% contingency. Staff had requested Council authorization for DuBois to proceed with the preparation of specifications for the purchase of the radio equipment, contingent upon West St. Paul acting to make the necessary improvements to•the dispatch and transmission system. Because Councilman Cummins had not received a copy of DuBois report, Council tabled consideration of this item until the January 15th meeting. RECOMMENDATION As discussed at the January 3rd meeting, it is staff's recommendation that we proceed to spend up to the$127,200 included in the 1985 adopted budget for the purpose of implementing the new radio system. As I pointed out during our earlier discussion, almost $100000 of this amount is coming from equipment certificates which we issue every other year. Consequently, most of this money will be avail- able to the City upon the next issuance (sometime later this spring) whether we choose to spend it all this year or not. Therefore, there is little reason not to proceed with full implementation at this time, and we feel that there will be cost savings in avoiding any "temporary" modifications. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, it should pass a motion authorizing Dr. DuBois to proceed with solicitation of bids for radio equipment up to $127,200, contingent upon similar approval by the City of West St. Paul.

Mr. Russell Wahl, 631 Callahan Place, is interested in serving on the Planning Commission only. In response to a news release regarding commission vacancies, Mr. Dean Flackey, 987 Stratford Road, called to advise staff of his interest in serving on the Planning Commission. He indicated that he is active in real estate and will be sending in a brief resume, which should be received on Monday, and which will be included in the add-on agenda for Tuesday's meeting.

ACTION REQUIRED Council should determine who will be appointed or reappointed to fill any vacancies on the Planning or Park and Recreation Commission and make appointments effective February 1, 1985. madlr CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 8, 1984 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Ads nistr r FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Curley Addition - Trail Extension Job No. 8418 • DISCUSSION: At the November 20, 1984 meeting, City Council approved the construction of the Curley Addition Bike Trail Extension. The Maples, residents to the north, were at the meeting and requested that in conjunction with the trail construction a screening hedge be planted along their property line. That request was re- ferred to the Park and Recreation Commission for a recommendation and staff presented it at the December meeting. RECOMMENDATION: The Park and Recreation Commission based on past policy and the idea of establishing a future precedent for screening parks from adjacent neighbors recom- mended against the Maple's request. ACTION REQUIRED: I am notifying the Maples, Andersons and Mattsons of the Park and Recreation recommendation and that the subject will be on the January 15th City Council agenda by sending them a copy of this memo. Based on the Park and Recreation recommendation and residents comments Council needs to decide whether or not to direct staff to plant a screening hedge along the Maple's lot line. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS TO: Mayor and City Coun it FROM: Kevin D F72 . Z7 J City Ad. nistrator SUBJECT: Request for Closed Door Session to Discuss Police Labor Negotiations MEMO January 9, 1985 Dennis and I have had our second meeting with the representatives of the Police Officer's bargaining unit, and have substantially clarified and narrowed the issues under discussion. I am requesting that Council convene a closed door session so that I can update you on where we are at, and seek Council concurrence on a subsequent City offer. KDF:madlr CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 9, 1985 and City.5,c1.:;22, ttzsfa or TO: Mayor, City Council A�fn FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr. Treasurer SUBJECT: Improvement Bonding INTRODUCTION We have outstanding a Temporary Improvement Bond issue maturing May 1, 1985, in the amount of $1,400,000. This issue financed the Industrial Park, DuPont Addition and Amesbury, which has not proceeded. I would plan to reduce the permanent issue by the $600,000 for Amesbury, and add to the issue the funds for Gryc and Ivy Falls Townhomes. This would make the final issue about $1,275,000. We can hold the sale as late as April 6th. However, due to variable interest rates at this time, I would like to be able to set a sale date on short (10 day) notice. ACTION REQUIRED Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the advertisement for a bond sale with the actual sale date blank. Depending on market conditions, the sale will be set sometime between February 3 and April 6, to coincide with a regular Council meeting. A factor which would influence the sale date would be the Council wishes on issuing a Tax Anticipation Certificate for 1985. The issue of 1984 will result in about $22,000 interest profit to the City after expenses. A quick review of the year end figures indicate we could qualify under the law for about $600,000 of such certificates, slightly higher than the $550,000 issued in 1984. At a 3% interest margin, we should be able to net about $15,000 after expenses. Because of the entirely different nature of the issues, I would prefer not to have a sale at the same date. We could set the bond sale for February 16, and have offers received for the Tax Anticipation Certificate on March 5th, or reverse the pro- cedure.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admipistrator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Northend Street Improvements Job No. 7843 Improvement No. 79, Project No. 3 DISCUSSION: January 9, 1985 Councilmember Witt announced at the January 3, 1985 City Council meeting that $53,986 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds had been approved to assist people with their assessment in the Northend Street Improvement Pro- ject. Council then directed staff to begin to put the construction project together for completion in 1985. Mendota Heights has had their allowed Municipal State Aid mileage increased enough in 1984 so that a request could be made to place Chippewa Avenue on the system. Staff made the request in January to have Chippewa Avenue put on the City's M.S.A. system. RECOMMENDATION: The first step in the public improvement process is to have the City Engi- neer prepare a feasibility study. Staff recommends that the feasibility study be ordered. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 85- , Resolution Ordering Preparation Of Feasi- bility Report For Northend Street Improvements (Improvement No. 79, Project No. 3) 1/1-V1.k_/ 1 ill. l..41./ U 1 1 1 RA Serving People and Communities January 7, 1985 Kevin Frazell, City Administrator City Hall 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Kevin: -JAN 9 1985 HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUT.HORITY. 2496 - 145th 'STREET WEST ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA'`55068 612-423-4800 As you may know, Mendota Heights' application for Community Development Block Grant funds of $70,000 for a North End Street Improvements project was awarded funding by the District #2 Committee meeting for a reduced amount of $53,986.

I have included with this memo a letter that went with the public notices that describes the proposal to the people involved in other than legal terms. According to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 (for local improvements) a resolution ordering the improvements needs to be adopted within 6 months of the hearing. Staff has prepared an appropriate resolution. We have added an additional sentence to allow for up to a three year delay on the actual construction. (The developer requested five years but staff feels three is the maximum we should allow). ACTION REQUIRED: Council needs to conduct the public hearing and based on Council and public input determine whether or not undertake the improvement as proposed.

The developer desires to hookup to the watermain in Highway 13 belonging to Mendota Heights. At issue is the cost of the "Wac" charge. We are in receipt of the memo dated December 26, 1984 from Mr. Danielson. We are also in receipt of the City Council Resolution No. 78-60. Our reading of Resolution No. 78-60 indicates that the appropriate means of computing the Wac charge is under "Formula B" set forth in Mr. Danielson's memo, which would be a credit of $3,541.55. I realize this is somewhat of an odd result, but it can be explained by two factors. 1. Section 2 of the resolution states: If total project cost is highest under Formula A, then the charge shall be front foot assessment plus 25% plus compounded interest. If total project cost is highest under Formula B, then the connection charge shall be such total, reduced by the cost (estimated or actual) of internal main distribution construction (cost of services excluded) expended by others. As Mr. Danielson's memo indicates, Formula A results in a price of $15,268.30, and Formula B (before internal main distribution cost is substracted) results in a price of $22,433.25. Consequently, Formula B is the greater, and it should be utilized even though subsequent reduction by the cost of internal main distribution results in a credit. 2. The resolution realizes the limited benefit which the water main produces for a piece of property if the internal main distribution system is very expensive. Such is the situation here, where the internal main work is rather extensive and involves a lengthy distance between the water main in the roadway to and the actual residential units. This is the common sense of the resolution, which indicates that an "assessment" Ln effect upon a property owner would not be appropriate if internal main hookup would cost the property owner in excess of the amount of the assessment. OPPENHEIMER WOLFF FOSTER SHEPARD AND DONNELLY Mr. Thomas Hart Janaury 9, 1985 Page Two In a spirit of compromise, and recognizing that there is some benefit to the condominiums, the developer would be willing to pay an "area" charge based between his parcel and the other parcel along the front footage of Highway 13. In other words, there are two parcels fronting Highway 13, that of our client, ("Tract A") and that of a neighbor. The .total frontage is 299.77 feet. The Tract A represents an area of approximately 54% of the entire area. Applying this formula, the developer would be willing to pay the following: 1. 11.00 x 299.77 x 1.25% x 54% = $2,225.79 2. Interest 3,513.41 3. WAC 4,640.00 TOTAL $10,379.20 It does not seem fair that the City should be able to charge twice for the same front footage. Hence, the area allocation of the front footage seems to make common sense. Please call me before the January 15, 1985 council meeting.

Joynes, Chairman MAMA General Labor Relations Committee SUBJECT: FINAL COST DETERMINATION AND SAMPLE RESOLUTION At long last I am finally able to provide you with the specific dollar cost to your organization for the Comparable Worth Study being conducted by Control Data Business Advisors, Inc. The contract costs have been alloted in the following manner: 1. Three thousand dollars ($3,000.0O) base charge for each jurisdiction, and 2. Thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for each emDloyee. This is on the high side of our original estimate due to several factors. The first is the fact that we have chosen to build in a contingency of ten percent to provide for possible legal consultation or other unforeseen problems. Secondly, we have had to develop more original survey information than anticipated due to the variety of occupational areas represented in our study group. If all goes well, the project should enjoy a surplus at its conclusion which would be returned to the participants in proportion to their original costs. I would also like to define for you the definition of a jurisdiction, that is, one that must pay the $3,000.00 base fee. Obviously each individual city will be considered one entity and will be defined to include employees who work for libraries and Housing and Redevelopment Authorities. All utilities, regardless of the degree oE autonomy from the city, will be considered separate entities and will be subject to the $3,000'O0 base charge. Hospitals will be similarly considered. The reason for this was two -fold. One, it was necessary to develop separate occupational survey materials for utility and medical positions which, in fairness, the cities should not be asked to subsidize. Second, it was virtually impossible to determine which utilities were autonomous or operated by individual cities. A waiver of the $3,000'OO base charge to a utility because it was a part of the city would have been difficult to discern and unfair.

TO: Mayor and City Cou FROM: Kevin D. Fra City Admin trator CITy OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 11, 1985 SUBJECT: Resolution for Participation in MAMA Joint Comparable Worth Study At the December 4th meeting, Council considered my recommendation that we participate in a joint study with the other metropolitan area suburbs for the purpose of carrying out a comparable worth study. As you will recall, such a study was mandated by the 1984 legislature. The suburbs, acting through the Metropolitan Area Managers Association, is retaining Control Data Business Advisors, Inc. Based on my memo and recommendation, Council tentatively indicated its intent to participate, up to a cost of $4,100. Attached is a memo from MAMA indicating the final cost for our participation, $4,285. This is within the amount stipulated by Council, since the $200 fee for search and screening of consultants was an initial participation fee to investigate the feasibility of a joint study, and we would be obligated to pay that whether we decided to continue with the full study or not. RECOMMENDATION For the reasons cited in my December 3rd memo, it continues to be my very strong recommendation that we participate in this joint effort. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with that recommendation, it should pass a motion adopting the attached Resolution.

Swanson City Clerk CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS becember 18, 1984 Minneapolis/St. Poul Metro Airport 6040 - 28th Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55417 Gentlemen: For the past several months, the Garron Corporation, a development company from Edina, has been discussing with the City of Mendota Heights the possibility of building a new corporate office facility to be located at the north end of Pilot Knob Road adjacent to Acacia Cemetery. In order for that facility to be constructed municipal water and sewer would have to be extended from LeMay Road, and Pilot Knob Road would have to be con- structed north of Acacia Boulevard. It is anticipated that the new office building would pay their assessment immediately after the project is completed and others would be able to have their assessments deferred until the utilities are used or the property is sold. The attached public hearing notice indicates that there will be a formal hearing on this matter on January 15, 1985 in the Mendota Heights [icy Hall. A feasibility report covering the proposed project was presenced.co the City Council on December 4, 1984. at which time the hearing was established. All persons owning property on either side of Pilot Knob Road from LeMuy Avenue to its northerly extremity, are invited to the January 15th hearing to learn more about the projecL, its cost and cost sharing.

The following members were present: Stein, Doffing, McMonigal, Singer and Williams. Members Knittig and Schneeman were absent. Also present were Terry Blum, Kevin Frazell and Dewey Selander. APPROVAL OF Minutes of the November 13, 1984 meeting were approved as MINUTES submitted. RESPONSE TO PUBLICIZED REPORT OF THE CITY COUNCIL'S ACTIONS REGARDING RECREATION PROGRAM AND DIRECTOR'S SALARY LEXINGTON AVENUE BIKE TRAIL Ayes: Nays: CURLEY ADDITION BIKE TRAIL Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 MARIE/SUMMIT PARK LAND SALE EASEMENT FOR ACCESS TO IVY FALLS PARK The Commission was concerned about recently reported actions taken by the City Council regarding the status of the Recreation Programs and the salary for the present Program Director. The present program consists of those programs recommended by and for citizens and are implemented by non-professional staff. This program has been under study for some time and will continue with improvement to be solicited in "HighLites". The Commission has been pleased with Mr. Selander's response to necessary changes and will recommend that his salary extend beyond the three month term. The updated cost estimate for the Lexington Avenue Bike Trail was reviewed by the Commission. After discussion, Doffing moved the Park and Recreation Commission approve the plan and estimated costs for the Lexington Avenue Bike Trail and that staff prepare specifications for drawing up the contract. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. The Commission reviewed the memo from Public Works Director Danielson regarding the Curley Addition Bike Trail. Although the construction of the bike trail has been authorized by the City Council, there still remains the issue of screening the trail from an adjoining residence. Upon further discussion, Williams moved that a natural screen should not be financed by the City as it would set a precedent for other park/trail land. The motion was seconded and approved. The Commission reviewed a memo from Mr. Danielson concerning the use of income from the sale of the lot at Marie Avenue and Summit Lane. Citing the importance of not setting a precedent of using park funds to provide plantings for the benefit of private residences, the Commission deferred any recommendations for use of income until the property is sold. A request made by Thomas Dolan for the City to consider acquiring an easement for access to Ivy Falls Park was discussed by the Commission. Since a similar request was made by another party sometime ago, the request was placed on the January agenda, when more time could be devoted Lo it. December 11, 1984 Park and Recreation Commission MinutestPalx Two PARK ATTENDANTS ICE RINK USEAGE Mr. Selander reported that eight rink attendants have been hired and that stricter guidelines will be enforced this year than years past. Selander will attempt to visit the rinks.each night and the police department will also be patrolling each rift area each night. Requests for use of ice rinks after regular hours must be made by contacting Kim at City Hall. 'A confirmation letter will then be sent to the interested party(s). Coachs and groups from Mendota Heights interested in using the rinks during evening hours should Contact Dewey at home so the locations can be distributed and scheduled in. Schools wanting to use rinks will continue to go through the maintenance department. SENIOR CITIZENS CLUB Due to the small response, interest in a Senior Citizens Club from Mendota Heights will be advertised once again. OUTDOOR RECREATION ADDITIONS MAINTENANCE REPORT CROSS COUNTRY SKI TRAIL GROOMER Due to increased demand, the Commission will recommendto the City Council the use of park funds for the construction of.C4n outdoor volleyball court at Rogers Lake and three outdoor basketball courts with one rim each. Cost estimates should be finalized by the February meeting so that bids may be let out in time for completion by summer. Terry Blum reported that flooding the ice rinks had their best start Ln years. The back panels and wiring for the lights at each of the rinks are still in poor condition and need repairs. A private individual has offered to groom both of the City's cross- country ski trails for $135 each time. Since this was a reason- able cost, Singer moved that the City Council allocate $270 for the grooming of the two cross country ski trails. The motion was seconded and approved. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 MISCELLANEOUS A meeting between two members of the Wachtler family and the Mayor, City Administrator and Chairman of the Park Board will be set sometime in January to discuss the status of the Wachtler property and possible agreement to first right of refusal. ADJOURN Mn/DOT has cooperated with the City in gaining easements along 35E for a future bike trail. Use of revenue or equivalent services for the use of park land by Lunda Construction will be placed on the April agenda. Singer and Williams indicated a willingness to City Administrator Frazell to serve another term on the Park and Recreation Commissiorz. Their terms expire January 31, 1985. The mext meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission will be Tuesday, January 8, 1985, at 7:30 P.M. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned.

The developer desires to hookup to the watermain in Highway 13 belonging to Mendota Heights. At issue is the cost of the "Wac" charge. We are in receipt of the memo dated December 26, 1984 from Mr. Danielson. We are also in receipt of the City Council Resolution No. 78-60. Our reading of Resolution No. 78-60 indicates that the appropriate means of computing the Wac charge is under "Formula B" set forth in Mr. Danielson's memo, which would be a credit of $3,541.55. I realize this is somewhat of an odd result, but it can be explained by two factors. 1. Section 2 of the resolution states: If total project cost is highest under Formula A, then the charge shall be front foot assessment plus 25% plus compounded interest. If total project cost is highest under Formula B, then the connection charge shall be such total, reduced by the cost (estimated or actual) of internal main distribution construction (cost of services excluded) expended by others. As Mr. Danielson's memo indicates, Formula A results in a price of $15,268.30, and Formula B (before internal main distribution cost is substracted) results in a price of $22,433.25. Consequently, Formula B is the greater, and it should be utilized even though subsequent reduction by the cost of internal main distribution results in a credit. 2. The resolution realizes the limited benefit which the water main produces for a piece of property if the internal main distribution system is very expensive. Such is the situation here, where the internal main work is rather extensive and involves a lengthy distance between the water main in the roadway to and the actual residential units. This is the common sense of the resolution, which indicates that an "assessment" 1n effect upon a property owner would not be appropriate if internal main hookup would cost the property owner in excess of the amount of the assessment. OPPENHEIMER WOLFF FOSTER SHEPARD AND DONNELLY Mr. Thomas Hart Janaury 9, 1985 Page Two In a spirit of compromise, and recognizing that there is some benefit to the condominiums, the developer would be willing to pay an "area" charge based between his parcel and the other parcel along the front footage of Highway 13. In other words, there are two parcels fronting Highway 13, that of our client, ("Tract A") and that of a neighbor. The total frontage is 299.77 feet. The Tract A represents an area of approximately 54% of the entire area. Applying this formula, the developer would be willing to pay the following: 1. 11.00 x 299.77 x 1.25% x 54% = $2,225.79 2. Interest 3,513.41 3. WAC 4,640.00 TOTAL $10,379.20 It does.not seem fair that the City should be able to charge twice for th0-same front footage. Hence, the area allocation of the front footage seems to make common sense. Please call me before the January 15, 1985 council meeting.

Warm regards, MARLENE JOHNSON Lieutenant Governor AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS TO: Planning Commission FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director and Paul R. Berg Code Enforcement Officer MEMO January 10, 1984 SUBJECT: Northwestern Bell Telephone Equipment Building Conditional Use Permit, Lot Division, and Setback Variance Case No. 85-01 INTRODUCTION: Robert Dokken representing Northwestern Bell met with Howard Dahlgren and staff to try and find locations for two electronic equipment buildings in Mendota Heights; one in the vicinity of Lexington Avenue and Wagon Wheel Trail and one in the vicinity of Mendota Heights Road and Pilot Knob Road. Howard suggested making the one to be located by Lexington Avenue and Wagon Wheel Trail to look like a residential garage by being in a back yard. DISCUSSION: Mr. Dokken has found a resident who is willing to cooperate and has obtained an option to buy the east 50 feet of Virginia Flo's lot at 2170 Lexington Avenue South. The structure Northwestern Bell Telephone plans to build on the lot would be a 17' X 17' brick (or other as the City would require) building. The building would house solid state electronic equip- ment for their digital transmission business and would create no fumes or noise. There would only be people at the building to perform maintenance or connect services. Grounds maintenance would be by a landscape service. The Zoning Ordinance provides for essential service structures in an R-1 Zone by a Conditional Use Permit. Contained within the essential service structure portion of the Zoning Ordinance is a requirement that a minimum 50 foot setback be maintained from any lot line of an abutting lot in a "R" District. The site plan submitted shows a 30 foot front yard setback; a 15 foot side yard setback from the west property line; an 18 foot side yard setback from the east property line and a 38 foot setback from the rear property line. Staff feels that because of the small size of the proposed building it would better disguise this building and merge it into the neigh- borhood on a small lot. Because this building is proposed to be on a newly created substandard lot a lot division also needs to be considered, along with variances'to-the 15,000 square feet,minimum area and 100' minimum frontage. 'In addition, discussion seems appropriate to determine whether or not a park contribution may be appropriate. ACTION REQUIRED: Conduct a public hearing addressing the Conditional Use Permit for an essential service structure in a residential neighborhood, a variance to the required 50 foot setback and 'a lot division. Based on input from the public and Planning Commission members, make a recommendation to City Council. `Zt JAN 14 1985 — . 14 JANUARY 1985 *** - RESUME' *** DEAN FLACKE *** Position Desired: City Plapnirg Committee Address: 987 Stratford Rd, Mendota Heights, Mn. 55118 Telephone: Home- 454-6667 Work- 455-8705 EDUCATION Rochester Vo -Tech Rochester, Mn.

Berg Code Enforcement Officer January 14, 1985 SUBJECT: Case #85-03, Krey, Subdivision of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 3, C.D. Pierce Additic DISCUSSION Mr. James Krey, 933 Chippewa, applied for a subdivision to create a buildable lot from two 40 foot wide lots and a 54'5" wide lot that are all 120 feet deep. The oorcl. 40 foot lot already has a house on it. As can be seen by the proposed subdivision, the south unimproved lot is to be 68'6" x 120 feet. The north improved lot is proposed to be 66' x 120'' Both of these lots would be substandard by the present zoning ordinance requirement, which is 100 feet of frontage and 15^000 square feet of lot area. The north lot is shown to have 34" less than the minimum of 100 feet of frontage and 7,080 square feet less than the minimum square footage reguired. Section 4'4(1) states that if an existing lot meets 70% of today's requirements, it may be used for single family detached dwelling use. The 70% figures are 70 feet of frontage and 10,500 square feet of lbt area. Therefore, the north lot would be four feet short on frontage and 2,580 square feet short on square footage. In addition, the house on the north lot is short three feet of front yard setback and 13 feet of side`yard setback The unimproved south lot is proposed to have 68'6" of frontage and 120 feet of deptb. Under the 70% standard, this portion will fall short of the frontage by 1'6" and 2,280 square feet. (The Zoning Ordinance requires a dwelling to have a minimum of I,008 square feet of useable floor space above grade unless it is an earth - sheltered home and also requires that a garage, attached or detached, contain a minimum of 440 square feet. Staff does not know whether the south lot can meet these standards without further variances. In addition, it appears that there is a 16 foot alley on the west property line which would cause a through lot condition and would require a conditional use permit if the garage was detached. The applicant may wish to investigate the possibility of a street vacation process to acquire the alley). Mr. Krey will also have to pay a $600 park contribution for the newly created lot. ACTION REQUIRED Conduct a public hearing to consider the following variances: 1. A 3 foot front yard and 13 foot side yard to existing home; 2. A 4 foot frontage and 2,580 square foot area to north lot; 3. A 1'6" frontage and 2,280 square foot area to south lot, together with a lot subdivision and based on comments from the commission and public, make a recommendation to the City Council.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Riverain Water Hookup u sPator January 15, 1985 INTRODUCTION: At the January 3rd City Council meeting the Riverain Condominium Water hookup was tabled at the applicant's (Trucker Sheehy) request. DISCUSSION: Since the January 3rd meeting the City staff has been working with Dennis Trooien, the applicant's attorney, concerning reducing the amount computed as the hook up charge. On January 10, Kevin, Tom Hart, Larry Shaughnessy and I met to discuss the alternatives for computing the Riverain hookup charge, and the result was that we all felt that the charge as first computed is accurate according to exist- ing ordinances, resolutions and past practice. RECOMMENDATION: Subject to the Council changing or amending existing policy, staff recommends that the hookup charge for the Riverain Condominiums to connect to Mendota Heights watermeio be $15,268 and that the approval also be conditioned upon them installing a fire hydrant on the north side of Trunk Highway 13. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation it should pass a motion authorizing staff to issue a water permit to Trucker Sheehy Contractors subject to receipt of $15,268 and a guarantee that a fire hydrant will be installed on the north side of Trunk Highway 13.

Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion. Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on proposed construction of public utilities to serve the Gould property located at the southeast quadrant of TH 55/13 and adjacent areas. Public Works Director Danielson explained that a feasibility report was directed and prepared in response to a petition from the Carron Corporation which proposes to construct an office building on the site at some time in the future. He explained the engineering details involved in the extension of sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer to the site and construction of a street north of Acacia Boulevard. It is proposed that the street be constructed at a 44 foot width, with curb and gutter and possibly a land- scaped center median. He stated that it is proposed that the Tax Increment District pay a portion of the project costs since a large portion of the area which would normally be assessed is owned by Acacia Park Cemetery. Mr. Danielson estimated that the total Pogo No. 2|97 January 15, 1985 project will cost approximately $470,000, He pointed out that without T.I.D. assistance the project would not be financially feasible. It is proposed Chat the assessment roll for the project include all properties which will benefit from the improvements but that the Garron (Gould) property be assessed and the assessments attributable to the other properties be deferred until they are either sold or developed. In response to a question from Councilmember Cummins, Mr. Danielson and Treasurer Sbaughueody explained tbd City's Tax Increment District briefly. Mr. Shaughnessy stated that the District receives sufficient income to support the project. Mr. Danielson also briefly described proposed future Stages 2, 3 and 4, which include watermain looping to T.B. 110 and utility service to the Furlong area, which cannot be accomplished until the upgrading of T.B. 13/55/110 occurs. Be indicated that the Garron Corporation is not sure when they will begin development of the Gould site and therefore the proposed resolution to order the project and plans and specification preparation allows for up to a three year delay in project couatructino. In response to a request from the Council, Mr. Steven Gage, President of the Garron Corporation, gave the audience a brief history of his firm and reviewed several potential site plans. He stated that his firm believes the site would be an ideal corporate headquarters site and that they do not plan to construct a facility until they have a good, solid tenant to buy or lease the facility. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. Mr. Martin Valencour, 2085 8iohxay,55, asked when the public improvements will be installed, if approved, and how tall a structure can be built on the site. He also asked what the public improvements are proposed to cost per acre. There being no further questions or comments, Council— member Hartthann moved that tbe'hmaring be closed at 8:45 o'clock P.M. Councilmember BIesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Councilmember Witt moved, the adoption of Resolution No. 85-04, "RESOLUTION 0BDEBING'IMPROVEMENT &0D:PREPARATIO0 OF PLANS AND S9ECIFICATIONS FOR SANITARY SEWERS, WATER, STORM SEWERS AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE THE GOULD PROPERTY AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 84* PROJECT NO. 2)." Ayes:- 5 C PARK LAND SALE Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CURLEY ADDITION TRAIL RIVERRAIN CONDOMINIUMS RADIO STUDY Page No. 2198 January 15, 1985 The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the Public Works Director regarding the sale of a portion of City owned park land in the Lexington Highlands East Addition, located at Summit Lane and Marie Avenue. City Attorney Winthrop suggested that before any action is taken, it should be determined that the City has clear title to the property. Mayor Lockwood moved to order preparation of a property survey and appraisal and to direct staff to investigate the deed status. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the Public Works Director regarding a request from Mr. and Mrs. Art Maple, 2166 Timmy Street, that a screening hedge between their property line and the bike trail proposed for construction on Lot 10, -Curley Addition. Mayor Lockwood noted that the Park and Recreation Commission has recommended, based on past policy, that the request be denied. Councilmember Witt stated that in at least one instance, the Yarosh property on Douglas Road (Marie Park), the City had installed plantings. She felt that a precedent had been set and that the Maples' concerns over traffic crossing their property to get to the trail should be addressed. She suggested that an arborvitae hedge could be planted along the property line to keep the public off the Maple property. After discussion, staff was directed to determine what type of plantings would be appropriate and prepare an estimate of costs. Administrator Frazell infomed the Council that rep- resentatives of Truckar Sheehy are unable to attend the meeting and have requested that discussion on the matter be tabled. Mayor Lockwood stated that he will be out of town for the next three meetings and felt that the Council should discuss the matter. As part of the brief discussion, it was noted that the formula applied to the utility connections for the Lexington Court Town- house development in Lilydale, which is located on a similar -sized parcel with similar frontage and contain- ing approximately the same number of units as the proposed Riverrain complex, was the same formula and approximately the same hook-up charge as that proposed for Riverrain.

Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. The Council acknowledged requests from Mr. Richard Weinzettel and Mr. Al Kirchoff for rental space in the old fire station. Mayor Lockwood moved to approve the rental of the Chief's office space in the former fire station to Mr. Al Kirchoff for $30 per month and the rental of two bays in the lower south end of the station to Mr. Richard Weinzettel for $140 per month, subject to lease terms and conditions similar to those imposed for the rental of space to Fischer's Towing. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. 7reusurar Shaughnessy -reviewed financial infprmation for the Council and recommended that the City issue tax anticipation certificates and conduct an improvement bond sale. He stated that since the two issues are so dissimilar he feels that the sales should be conducted on different dates and recommended that one sale be conducted in February and the other in March. He asked that Council authorize the sales with dates uncertain so that he may establish the dates based ooimorbet conditions in the coming few weeks. Councilmember Witt moved the adoption of Resolution No. 85-06. "RESOLUTION PD0VIDING.FO0 PUBLIC SALE OF ¢1,275,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS OF 148.5," the sale date to be determined' by the City Treasurer, along with authorization for the Treasurer tq solicit quotations for the sale of Tax Anticipation Certificates. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. The Council briefly discussed the matter of appointments to the Planning and Park and Recreation Coftimiaoioum. Mayor Lockwood informed the Council that Mrs. Ridder does not wiob"to be reappointed to the Planning Commiaaiou^oud that Mrs, Dorothy MuMoolgal has COMPARABLE WORTH Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 2200 January 15, 1985 which would leave a vacancy on the Park Commission. He felt that Mrs. McMonigal would be a very fine Planning Commission member and stated that he strongly supports her appointment. Councilmembers Blesener and Cummins did not feel that enough public notice had been given regarding the vacancies and that appointments should be delayed. It was the concensus of the Council that the matter should be tabled to February 5th. The Council acknowledged a memo from the City Adminis- trator recommending that the City participate in a joint comparable worth study with several metropolitan area suburbs, the study to be prepared by Control Data Business Advisors. He stated that the City's share in the cost study is $4,285. After discussion, Councilmember Hartmann moved the adoption of Resolution No. 85-07, "RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE CONTROL DATA BUSINESS ADVISORS, INC., JOINT COMPARABLE WORTH STUDY." Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. MISCELLANEOUS Mayor Lockwood reviewed an informal proposal from Charles Mertensotto to perform City prosecution work. He stated that Chief Delmont has reviewed the proposal and has indicated that he is not dissatisfied with the services provided by the City's legal counsel for the same rate as that proposed by Rowland and Mertensotto. LABOR NEGOTIATIONS ADJOURN Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 ATTEST: It was the determination of the Council that since the service currently being provided is satisfactory and the fees for the service are the same it would not be appropriate to make a change as requested. The Council acknowledged a memo from the City Adminis- trator requesting a closed door session to discuss police labor negotiations. There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilmember Hartmann moved to adjourn the meeting to a closed door session for labor negotiations. Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion.

SYNOPSIS OF MONTHLY FIRE RUNS: The Department responded to13 calls -during December. Three of the calls we responded to were traffic accidents, the most serious of which was on December 18. A semi -tractor and trailer rolled over in the intersection of"T.H 110/149 at about 3:00 P.M. The trailer was fully loaded with beer and subsequently had to be unloaded before the trailer could be righted. This accident caused a serious traffic delay until 7:00 P.M., since the truck blocked all of eastbound TH 110 and southbound TH 149. The Department also responded to a serious house fire at 2400 Dodd Road on December 29th at 11:10 P.M. Upon arrival, the north bedroom of the second story was found fully involved with fire. The Department did a good job knocking down the fire and keeping it confined to the north end of the upstairs and attic. 'TH 149 was blocked for about 45 minutes because we needed access to the hydrant across the street. The Police did a fine job of accomplishing this task. The estimated damage was set at $45,000 and the cause is still under investigation. SYNOPSIS OF TRAINING The monthly drill was used to go over a filmstrip on..engine__company operations and a walkthrough to familiarize the men with the new station.
