MEMO
March 22, 1985
T0: Mayor, City Council and City /ntintrator
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Utilities for Victoria Place (Lilydale)
INTRODUCTION:
In June 1983 the Mendota Heights City Council agreed to allow sewer and
water connections for a 30 unit, 8 story condominium to be located on
Victoria Road just south of Trunk Highway 13 in Lilydale. (Agreement
attached)
DISCUSSION:
Because of the inability to obtain favorable financing in 1983, the
project was not constructed at that time, however the project is now being
revived as a 3 story, 30 unit structure. The developer still desires to
connect to Mendota Heights utilities and has requested to be put on the
April 2, 1985 Council meeting in order to update the Council on his current
project.
RECOMMENDATION:
It appears as if the terms of the June 21, 1983 agreement can still be
met and that all that needs to be accomplished by Council is an informative
review of the current plans.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Familiarization of current plans.

SUBJECT: Recreational Vehicle Parking and Other Nuisances
INTRODUCTION
At the March 19th meeting, Council brought attention to a travel trailer
illegally parked at 544 Miriam Street, and also raised the general issue of
ordinance enforcement on this issue.
COMPLAINT AT 544 MIRIAM
Our Ordinance (copy attached), in part, requires that recreational equipment
is permitted in one side only or rear yard in all residential zoning districts,
provided that any such side yard storage shall not be adjacent to a street and
further provided that all setback requirements shall be met.
Upon a site visit to 544 Miriam Street, the Code Enforcement Officer
observed a travel trailer parked partially on the street and boulevard.
We have prepared a letter to the homeowner requesting ordinance compliance
(see attached).
GENERAL ISSUE OF ENFORCEMENT
The vehicle at 544 Miriam is, of course, not the only violation in the City,
or for that matter, even on Miriam Street. There are similar problems with other
nuisance type ordinances (i.e.g weeds, home occupations, etc.).
Citizens frequently and validly ask why we don't enforce these ordinances
that have been adopted. The simple answer - adopting ordinances is cheap,
enforcing them is expensive!
About a year ago we centralized zoning/nuisance ordinance enforcement in the
Code Enforcement Officer's office. Prior to that, it was divided among several
City departments. However, we acknowledged at that time, that current staff
could really only enforce the ordinances on a "response to complaint" basis. We
did try to become more systematic in our letter sending and follow-up.
Effective enforcement involves surveillance for violations, initial letters,
follow-up inspections, follow-up letters, and ultimate citation, and perhaps
even prosecution. It is a very "putsy" and time-consuming job. A very rough
estimate to do the job right would be an additional half-time person in the
winter and 3/4 to full-time in the summer, plus mileage and office support
costs.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue with the current "response to complaint" approach.
2. Research cost of implementing a more full-blown enforcement program.
3. Research cost of experimenting with a stepped up "seasonal" enforcement
program. This might involve hiring a student for the summer to devote
full-time to zoning code enforcement.
RECOMMENDATION
The question is essentially one of service level; in other words, what
amount of zoning code enforcement is the community willing to pay for. If
Council is dissatisfied with our current approach, Alternative 1, I would suggest
we pursue the possibility of experimenting with Alternative 3.
ACTION REQUIRED
To direct staff on a preferred course of action.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gonsowski:
Staff has received a complaint about the location where you have chosen to
park your travel trailer.
The City's Zoning Ordinance No. 401, Section 18.4, entitled Outside Storage
in Residential Districts, states as follows:
18.4(1)
The outside storage of recreational equipment is permitted in
one side only or rear yard in all residential zoning districts,
provided that any such side yard storage shall not be adjacent
to a street and further provided that all setback requirements
shall be met. Outside storage of vehicles and recreational
equipment not originally constructed for recreational use shall
not be permitted.
18.4(2) For the purpose of this Ordinance, recreational equipment shall
include the following:
18.4(2)a Boats and canoes, all terrain vehicles, trailers for the,trans-
portation of the above, all motor vehicles designed, constructed,
or used to provide temporary, movable living quarters for recreat-
ional use, travel trailers, snowmobiles.
Your parking location for your travel trailer does not conform to the City's
regulations which are listed above. I'm sure that you will be able to come into
compliance with our Ordinance within a week of the receipt of this letter.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Your cooperation
in this matter will be appreciated.
Sincerely,

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. Frazel O�
City Administrator
March 22, 1985
SUBJECT: Hearing on Mn/FSL Corporation General Contractor License
BACKGROUND
In connection with annual contractor license renewals at the beginning of
the year, Council raised a question about work being done by Mn/FSL Corporation
in the Delaware Crossing subdivision. In response, the attached staff memo on
the process for license review was submitted to Council.
After reviewing this memo, Council called for an April 2nd hearing to
receive testimony from homeowners who wish to present grievances against the
license holder. Staff understands that at least five area homeowners will be
present to present testimony. We would also understand that Mn/FSL Corporation
and their legal counsel will be present.
DISCUSSION
Although this is not a public hearing in the legal meaning of that sense
(i.e., general published notice, etc.) Council should generally conduct the
hearing along those same lines. A suggestion would be that all grievants be
allowed to present their case, and that Mn/FSL representatives then be allowed to
respond.
It should be remembered that the purpose of the hearing is to provide
Council with the opportunity to determine whether the license holder has violated
City ordinance No. 601, Section 9, to such extent that its license should be
revoked or suspended. As a reminder, that test is:
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.
The purpose of the hearing should not be for the Council to try to resolve the
details of every dispute between a homeowner and Mn/FSL Corporation.
NOTE: The attorney for Mn/FSL has pointed out to me that we have previously and
mistakenly referred to the license holder as "Minnesota Federal Savings and
Loan". •Mn/FSL Corporation is a separate legal entity, and we should take care to
refer to it by its proper name.
ALTERNATIVES
Upon completion of the hearing, Council would have, at least, the following
alternatives:
1. Make a finding that Mn/FSL Corporation has not violated Ordinance No.
601, in which case, no further action would be required.
2. Make a finding of Ordinance violation of such severity that a suspension
of 30 days to one year should be placed on the licensee.
3. Make a finding of Ordinance violation of such severity that the license
should be revoked.
4. Refer the matter to staff for more complete investigation of the
complaints raised, tabling any further action pending the outcome of that
investigation.

SUBJECT: Joint Meeting with Planning Commission
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission has finished their review of the Housing Plan
Amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan and would like to have a joint
meeting with the City Council to discuss the changes. The Planning
Commission was also made aware of the Council's desire to have Mn/DOT update
the City on the Mendota Interchange project and would like to hear that
presentation. Staff suggests that a joint meeting could be conducted after
the regular Planning Commission meeting April 23rd. Chairman Kruse has

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
March 26, 1985
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Aiiist'or
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Street Improvement Policy
INTRODUCTION:
At the March 19th meeting, a question was raised concerning the City
policy on street construction and Council directed staff to prepare a memo
addressing the subject.
DISCUSSION:
City streets are normally divided into two categories; urban (with
curb and gutter) and rural (with ditches). Currently the Mendota Heights
(unwritten) policy requires that all new streets be urban design; however,
early policy did not require that and there are many neighborhoods that
exist with the rural design. There have been no problems to date with
getting new subdividers to build urban design streets. The problem comes
when trying to apply the urban design requirement to a neighborhood when the
time comes to rebuild an existing rural street. In trying to reconstruct a
street that existed as rural when all the homes were constructed, there are
many technical difficulties with back draining driveways and lawns that need
to be totally regraded and landscaped to the house. These technical diffi-
culties with the street design, together with additional problems associated
with installing a new storm sewer system drive the costs for this recon-
structed urban design substantially higher than what the costs would be for
just an overlay. A City can only assess up to an amount that the project
will increase the valuation of the property. Many times the costs for a new
urban design street with storm sewers will exceed the benefit to the pro-
perty. Also, some people prefer the "look" and "feel" of the rural design
to the urban.
Up to now it sounds as if I prefer the rural street to the urban. No!
The rural street is much more difficult to maintain. The primary main-
tenance concern is from water sitting in the ditches instead of being car-
ried away by a gutter. As it sits in the ditches, it soaks in under the
surface and softens the subgrade weakening it and allowing for pavement
breakup. Another problem is that there is no curb to guide our snow plows
and keep them from digging up lawns and knocking over mailboxes. Also,
without curbs, cars are not prevented from cutting corners short and parking
on or driving over lawns. These and many others are reasons to have an
urban design whenever possible.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels that there are many good reasons to mandate that "all"
streets constructed or reconstructed in Mendota Heights should be urban
design, but that there are design, technical and financial difficulties that
sometimes could make this mandate unreasonable. We recommend at this time
that all newly constructed streets continue to be urban design and that
reconstructed streets be evaluated on a case by case basis as to whether. or
not they are feasible for reconstruction as urban.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Discuss a City Street Improvement Policy to obtain Council consensus
and direct staff to prepare a resolution implementing policy guidelines
decided upon.
PLANNING REPORT
DATE: 26 March 1985
CASE NUMBER: 85-04
APPLICANT: Ralph Linvill
LOCATION: Opposite Transport Drive,
West Side of Pilot Knob
Road
ACTION REQUESTED: Variance to Side Yard
Setback
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Mr. Linvill, who as you will recall, successfully developed
an office -service building at the northwest corner of Pilot
Knob Road and Northland Drive, proposes to construct another
such facility on a 3.5 acre site on the west side of Pilot
Knob Road, south of Perron Road.
Mr. Linvill first approached the City staff with his
tentative proposal in July of 1984. At that time, Mr.
Linvill was informed that it was the City's long range
intent to complete the industrial area road system by
extending Transport Drive westerly at Pilot Knob (through
his affected parcel) and thence southerly to connect to
Northland Drive (at Mendota Heights Road). This alignment
is indicated on an attached plan of the industrial area
labeled "Plan A".
2. Mr. Linvill indicated that he was not interested in that
alignment, and felt that Perron Road already platted to the
north would serve this purpose. What we were trying to
achieve, of course, was an extension of the Transport Drive
Alignment so as to complete the "loop" system through the
industrial area, which is already three-quarters
established. This matter was then referred to the City
Council, for which we prepared a report, a copy of which is
attached.
3. Perhaps some background as to the evolution of the roadway
system would be helpful:
a. When the land was zoned industrial in 1962 following the
preparation of the Comprehensive Plan and a new Zoning
Ordinance, there were only two dedicated rights-of-way
in the entire industrial area south of the railroad
tracks. Pilot Knob Road was established as a
north -south section line county road, and Perron Road
CASE NUMBER: 85-04
APPLICANT: Ralph Linvill
Page 2
was platted as a two -rod roadway (33 feet) from Pilot
Knob Road to Trunk Highway 13.
b. Mendota Heights Road was established as a future
east -west thoroughfare as an element of the
transportation plan for the City.
c. Shortly after the rezoning occurred, United Properties
purchased most of the land easterly of Pilot Knob Road.
We prepared a plan for the development of an industrial
park which included, in the final plat accepted by the
City, the rights-of-way for Mendota Heights Road,
Northland Drive, and Transport Drive, as they are now
platted and built.
d. In the meantime, Mendota Heights Road was constructed as
a public improvement project from Trunk Highway 13,
ultimately to Trunk Highway 149.
e. With a good deal of careful negotiation and cooperation
between a number of landowners, Northland Drive was
ultimately platted and constructed in the southwesterly
quadrant as shown on Plan A.
. Discussions have been held over a period of time with
the Pabst people who made provisions for the extension
of Northland Drive, north of Mendota Heights Road, by
locating their building far enough to the west. They,
however, at that time did not wish to commit to the
ultimate construction of the roadway, though they owned
large acreage to the north, indicated as Parcel 3 on
Plan A.
g. Recent conversations with the Pabst people indicate that
they do not wish to make any .commitment as to this
roadway, until such time as they would- sell or develop
the property themselves. In the meantime, they do not
wish to be assessed for roadways which may serve their
properties in the future.
h. All of the rights-of-way for the industrial area road
system have been dedicated as is the normal procedure in
the development of industrial areas in this part of the
country: Additional rights-of-way required for the
extension and improvement of Pilot Knob Road were also
dedicated by contiguous land owners.
4. The City Council decided that they did not wish to purchase
the right-of-way through Mr. Linvill's property, accepting
the fact that there would be a jog in the roadway system
between Perron Road and Transport Drive. Thus, the ultimate
CASE NUMBER: 85-04
APPLICANT: Ralph Linvill
Page 3
access to the Pabst property would appear to be either in
accordance with Plan B or Plan C. In either case it would
appear important to take what steps are necessary to assure
that at least Perron Road' will be available as a future
access to the properties behind Mr. Linvill's parcel.
5. During the past several months, Mr. Linvill has tried to
expand the potential development of his property, by
buying land from the landowner to the north so as to provide
for the ultimate dedication and construction of Perron Road.
At the last moment, as we are informed, these negotiations
fell through. Mr. Linvill therefore is proposing a
development for his parcel with the center line of Perron
Road staying where it is.
6. So as to utilize his property to the maximum degree, Mr.
Linvill is proposing that he be allowed a variance to the
required 20 foot setback for parking contiguous to a public
right-of-way so as to allow parking within ten (10) feet
rather than the 20 feet required by Ordinance. This is the
request that is before the Planning Commission.
7. The plans do not indicate Mr. Linvill's intent to dedicate
the additional 13.5 feet of right-of-way on the south side
of Perron Rod so as to establish this roadway as a
potential 60 foot right-of-way. The other roads in the
industrial roadway system are 80 feet in width. The staff,
however, has suggested that the 60 foot right-of-way would
be the minimum, considering the fact that Perron Road could
possibly be a cul-de-sac (as is indicated in Plan B).
We suggest that it isimportant to obtain this additional
right-of-way at this time, inasmuch as Perron Road offers
the only opportunity for access to the properties westerly
of Mr. Linvill's parcel.
8. With respect to the variance, it would appear that the
obvious purpose of the variance is to provide for more
extensive development of the property. That section of the
Zoning Ordinance allowing for the issuance of variances
speaks specifically to the need to establish some form of
physical hardship relating to the property for such a
variance to be granted. The Ordinance specifically states
that mere "convenience" to the applicant shall not be
sufficient grounds.
The regulations under which development is controlled in
communities in the Metropolitan Area are very consistent.
Municipal ordinances consistently require the dedication of
roadways, and adherence to the established setback
requirements for buildings and parking unless some physical
hardship exists which makes that particular property unique.
CASE NUMBER: 85-04
APPLICANT: Ralph Linvill
Page 4
This property is a typical corner lot where additional
right-of-way is required on Pilot Knob Road (17 feet) and
additional right-of-way is required for Perron Road (13.5
(feet). If a variance is granted simply to allow for more
extensive development of the land, this precedent could
logically be applied to any applicant in the future.
Consistent application of the standards for development is a
much emphasized principal established and required by the
courts. We suggest that fairness in the application of
these regulations is a matter of considerable concern.
9. The structure is proposed to consist of 49,832 square feet
of which 21,428 square feet are offices, and 28,404. is
warehousing. Thus, the offices are 43 percent of the
building and warehousing is 57 percent. These ratios are in
fact established by the amount of parking which is available
on the site which totals 122 spaces. The building use are
proposed would require 107 spaces for the office, and
approximately 15 spaces for the office -warehouse. Mr.
Linvill informs us that his previous building has
approximately 40 percent office occupancy.
10. Reduced copies of the site plan, grading and drainage plan,
landscape plan, building plan, and elevations are attached
as submitted by the applicant. The staff has met previously
with Mr. Linvill regarding these plans and some adjustments
were made so as to provide adequate depth (100 feet) for
semi's serving the service area on the west side of the
building.
The site plan will appear to work though the 20 foot drive
space for truck access to the rear is minimal, and the 60
foot depth for parking in the front of the building is
minimal as well. The accepted standard is 64 feet. Access
to the building entrances would be better if there were not
parking spaces directly in front of these access points.
However, the site is being squeezed so as to maximize.the
development, which results in these minimal standards being
utilized.
11. At such time as Perron Road is constructed, there may be
concern regarding the assessments to the property in
question. With access constructed as drawn, Mr. Linvill may
claim that Perron Road does not benefit his property. Under
these circumstances, many communities require a bond or
deposit to assure ultimate payment of the assessments. In
this case, truck access to the rear service area would be
considerably enhanced by the construction of Perron Road.
Ideally, Perron Road should be constructed now, however, the
additional 13.5 feet of right-of-way has not been dedicated
on the north side. Perhaps the intent of this landowner
CASE NUMBER: 85-04
APPLICANT: Ralph Linvill
Page 5
should be determined, prior to a decision with respect to
the timing of Perron Road construction.
12. The remainder of the development proposal appears to be in
order, though the delineation of the exact building
materials and color of the structures are somewhat unclear.
Perhaps inquiry of Mr. Linvill at the hearing would be
helpful to clarify this aspect of his proposal.
13. This complete set of drawings is being submitted to the
Council for building permit purposes. In this context, it
would appear that the landscape plan is satisfactory, except
we suggest that some overstory trees could be added on the
west side of the property, thus softening the ultimate
transition to the property to the rear, which will be highly
exposed to the ultimate realignment of Trunk Highway 13.
14. You will notice on the development plan, a proposal to
construct a sign contiguous to the Pilot Knob right-of-way.
We do not have greater details on this sign though we
understand it will be a ground sign. This variance would
have to be considered as a separate application at some
point in the future.
15. The application then is for consideration of a variance to
the required 20 foot setback for parking contiguous to the
public right-of-way. If the application were denied, it
would result in the loss of ten (10) parking spaces (if the
plan otherwise remains the same). This would, in effect,
result in the reduction of the proportion of the building
that can be utilized for office purposes. The loss of ten
spaces would equate to a reduction of 2,000 square feet of
office space. The resultant occupancy would thus be
slightly under 40 percent office and slightly more than 60
percent warehouse space.

Minutes of the February 26 meeting had been submitted
previously. Commissioner Morson moved that the minutes
be approved as submitted.
Commissioner Frank seconded the motion.
Mr. Rollie Crawford, attorney, was present representing
Mr. Ralph Linvill, to request a variance for a 3.5 acre
site on Pilot Knob Road, south of Perron Road. Mr.
Crawford noted that he was not really sure that a
variance would be required to build the structure as
proposed. Staff noted that a 10 foot variance to the
required 20 foot parking setback from a public right-of-
way would be reasonable.
Mr. Bill Price, from Suburban Engineering, was present
to review the proposed layout of the structure. He
noted that 13.5 feet would be needed if Perron Road is
widened and the existing right-of-way is 16.5 feet now.
If the variance were to be granted, Linvill would have
room for nine additional parking spaces.
Planner Dahlgren noted that his concern is the ultimate
access to the northerly portion of the land to the west.
He noted that this site will have no access from the
future TH 13. He also stated that the greater
percentage of office space in the proposed structure
means the greater number of parking spaces would be
needed.
The Commission concurred in the assumption that Perron
Road will be extended and felt that the City Council
should acquire fee title or an easement at this point.
After discussion,Commissioner Burke moved to recommend
that the City Council ask for additional dedication for
the additional 13.5 feet of right-of-way to provide for
an ultimate 60 foot wide right-of-way.
Commissioner Stefani seconded the motion.
Planning Commission Minutes, March 26, 1985 Page Two

PRE -APPLICATION Mr. Dale Glowa was present to explain United Properties
MEETING, UNITED proposal for a Planned Unit Development north of Mendota
PROPERTIES, PUD Heights Road, between Pilot Knob Road and Transport
Drive. The structures would be between Sperry and Big
Wheel, and would be named Southridge Business Center.
He noted that construction would be done in three
phases, with a total of approximately 150,000'square
feet. The end product would consist of 60-70% office
area and 30-40% warehouse/service area. He noted that
Phase I would be a single story structure containing
53,170 square feet of space. The exterior brick will be
a different color to coordinate with the brick exterior
across the street. Mr. Glowa requested that a public

SUBJECT: Mendota Drainage Problem
LaCroix and Bruestle Residences
HISTORY:
In 1980, after several years of negotiation and hearings, an improve-
ment project for Valley View Oaks subdivision was undertaken. As a part of
this project, a retention pond was constructed to slowly meter out storm
water runoff from the Culligan Lane cul-de-sac and adjacent properties.
During construction it was noticed that springs existed in the retention
pond area and runoff from these springs continued to run down the slope into
Mendota, now through the new retention pond outlet. It is now the opinion
of Mr. LaCroix, and perhaps others, that the construction project increased
the amount of spring -fed runoff, although this is impossible to substan-
tiate. Mr. LaCroix states that this increased spring -fed water creates an
intolerable ice buildup during the winter.
DISCUSSION:
As of March 26, 1985, most of the ice buildup from the past winter had
receded to a point where existing drainage could be examined. The crux of
the problem seems to be the continual, spring -fed, (although of minimal
size) water flow from the retention pond at Culligan's Valley View Oaks
subdivision. This flow, coupled with the fact that no definite ditch exists
from "G" street to a point 150 feet east, causes large sheets of ice to
build up over the winter months to the point where water threatens to and
does enter the basements of the concerned parties. Several remedies come to
mind.
1. Attempt to reduce flow from the retention pond by raising the
casting of the inlet structure, thereby causing water to pond and percolate
into the ground rather than flow directly down the slope into Mendota. This
could be done by City forces as soon as conditions permit. Estimated cost
is $200.
2. Construct a positive ditch from "G" Street east to a point where an
existing swale already exists; a distance of about 160-170 feet, at a cost
of approximately $2000-$3000.
1
3. Contain the runoff in an underground pipe from "G" Street to the
existing swale at a cost of approximately $4000-$6000, including tree re=
moval and rip -rap.,..
Both options 2 and 3 contain the inherent difficulties of not only
being in another City, but the construction involved would be mostly on
private property. The City of Mendota would be responsible for acquiring
easements and maintaining the new ditches and/or underground pipes. Also
the possibility exists of creating some erosion problems in the ditches
along "G" Street (newly reconstructed) by concentrating runoff flow at the
end of the new ditch or pipe. At this point no attempt has been made to
consult Mr. Bruestle, across whose maintained yard and trees the improve-
ments would be constructed, regarding either permanent or temporary ease-
ments. Estimated costs for all steps do not include easement acquistion,
engineering or maintenance staff time.
Financing for either step 2 or 3, aside from direct payment from either
or both City budgets, could be assessed to a drainage district. This dis-
trict would include eleven property owners in Mendota Heights and Mr.
Bruestle in the City of Mendota.
RECOMMENDATION:
Within weeks after the completion of step 1, it should become obvious
whether or not it will succeed. If not, action can be undertaken to proceed
with either step 2 or step 3; therefore staff recommends proceeding with
step 1 and observing the result.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Approve raising the casting elevation of the retention pond outlet
structure, and direct staff on any coordination or contact to be made with
the City of Mendota.

at a general meeting. He has also received medical approval from the Airport
Medical Clinic.
Mr. Villard and his wife Joanne, are recent immigrants to Mendota Heights,
having moved to their current address on October 1, 1984. Peter is employed
as an engineering supervisor with Gateway Glass in Energy Park, and has previously
held a number of technical and supervisory positions with architectural and
industrial firms. Interestingly, he was at one time employed by Trossen-Wright
Architects.
Peter explained to me that he first became interested in membership on the Fire
Department when he personally suffered an automobile fire loss at his home last
fall, and our fire department responded. He indicated that this piqued his
interest in serving his new community through service on the fire department.
During the interview, I was most impressed by the enthusiasm and maturity of

SUBJECT: Vern Colon — Site Berm
INTRODUCTION
At the March 19th City Council meeting, the berm constructed by Vern Colon
at the end of Miriam was discussed. Staff was directed to prepare a memo
addressing the subject.
f DISCUSSION
During the time Mr. Colon was processing a PUD application for a townhouse
development on the former Clemens' site (located at the end of Miriam on TH 13),
there were some hard feelings generated between Mr. Colon and the contiguous
neighbors. Mr. Colon then, for reasons unknown to the City, constructed an earth
berm on his property all along Mr. Jerry Shaughnessy's property blocking the
drainage. M. Shaughnessy called the City on several occasions to complain of
Mr. Colon's action and to ask for help from the City to correct the matter. The
berm is on Mr. Colon's property so to correct the matter the City would have to
trespass. I was unsure of the City's legal rights and so I turned the matter
over to Tom Hart. Tom feels the City should not become directly involved in a
dispute between two landowners. However, he attempted to call Mr. Colon to help
work out an amicable solution. Mr. Colon refused to return Tom's calls. Tom .
feels that there are only two times a City should intervene in a matter such as
this; when it involves an ordinance violation or to protect a City system. There
is no ordinance violation and we are unsure as to what extent, if any, a City
system is damaged (storm drainage). Tom is very hesitant to involve the City in
a case of this nature, thinking that we may be setting a precedent for -getting
the City involved in future citizen disputes.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that no action be taken by the City in this matter at this
time.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with staff's recommendation, nothing further need be
done.

SUBJECT:
CASE #85-04, Dakota Business Plaza Parking Setback Variance
and Building Permit Request Approval
DISCUSSION
Ralph Linvill, the developer of the proposed Dakota Business Plaza, was
before the Planning Commission on March 26 to request a 10 foot variance to the
front yard parking setback. (See attached staff reports).
Mr. Linvill has also requested that Council consider approval of his
building permit subject to staff review of plans and specs. Council approval or
denial of the requested variance to the parking setback would not necessarily
affect the size or design of the proposed building but only reduce the number of
square feet that could be allocated to office space due to the loss of nine
parking spaces if the variance is denied.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission has recommended unanimously to condition any building
permit approvals on Mr. Linvill dedicating the needed right-of-way for Perron
Road and Pilot Knob Road. Planning Commission also unanimously voted to deny the
requested variance.
Staff has reviewed the plans submitted by Mr. Linvill (see packet for
reduced copies), and finds that they are in order.
ACTION REQUIRED
Council should review building plans and discuss with applicant any concerns
or modifications they have. If Council concurs with Planning Commission and
staff recommendation, they should pass a motion authorizing staff to issue a
building permit to Mr. Linvill subject to the following conditions:
1. Receipt of executed right-of-way documents for Perron Road and Pilot
Knob Road.
2. Final review of complete set of plans and specifications by staff.
3. Other conditions to be added by City Council.

MEMO
March 29, 1985
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Ad‘Itor
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Downing Street - Pavement Failure
DISCUSSION:
At the March 19th meeting it was pointed out to staff that the condition
of the street surface on Winston Court and Downing Street was bad. Public
Works Superintendent Ploumen and I surveyed the problem and discovered that
the worst condition exists on Downing Street from the intersection of
Winston Court to Trunk Highway 13. We both agree that the only real way to
cure the problem would be to totally rebuild that section by replacing the
surface and base and adding storm water inlets to improve drainage. We do
feel that as a temporary solution maintenance staff could do a skin patch
(thin overlay) this summer similar to what was done on the Northend last
year. If that temporary solution is all we want to do this year, we think
that there is enough maintenance money budgeted and no extra amount would
need to be allocated at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this year all that should be done is to complete
a thin overlay by City maintenance forces, however we want to stress that
this will not be a good or permanent solution. The existing poor drainage
situation will not be improved and may be aggravated and the weak subgrad
will still be there to allow breakup again. Some day in the not to distant
future the entire area will need to be redone with a more permanent solution
and the costs assessed to the residents.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council wishes to follow the staff recommendation there is no action
required.

SUBJECT: MWCC Sewer Billings
INTRODUCTION
For the past couple of years, our annual billing to MWCC has been based on a
flow of about 400,000,000 gallons of flow.
We recently received monthly flow figures for the second half of 1984 which
indicated a substantially greater flow (approximately 520,000,000 gallons on an
annual huaia). We checked with MWCC to determine if there was some error in the
figures and were advised that the figures were correct and resulted from the
addition of a meter to the second siphon line which they had thought received
little or no use.
DISCUSSION
There are three sewer pipes that carry Mendota Heights' sewage under the
river. These pipes have venturi meters on the Shepard Road side to measure the
flows (very accurate meters). These flow measurements are automatically tele-
phonically transmitted to a computer at MWCC's Seneca Plant in Eagan. Because
this transmission process is expensive and because MWCC officials felt only a
small amount of sewage was flowing through the two outside pipes (separated from
the main pipe by weirs) MWCC only started to collect data from the second pipe
going under the river this year. To everyone's surprise the flows were substan-
tial
Our 1986 MWCC billing will reflect the 1984 volume changes which increase
our billing by $92,800. After various credits, the net increase will be
$38,477.15 for our final 1984 bill. The new estimated volume in 1986 will be
520,000,000 gallons which will result in a final increase of about $I60,000_
For 1987, the base volume will again be about 520,000,000 with an addition
for the final 1985 billing which would be about $98,000 before any other credits.
These would not be known until March of 1986. The billing before these credits
could reach $508,000.
By 1988, we will have caught up with the short billings and will be charged
only for actual usage again. Based on our present information, the billing
would be in the $420,000 range.
For general information, the following are the actual MWCC billings with the
estimates through 1988.
1984
1985 1986 1987
1988
$260,909 266,731 448,551 508,094 415/420,000
Our current minimum bill is $20.00 per quarter with 29-100 cu. ft. Excess
residential billing is at 74 cents per 100 cu. ft. Our average residential
billing is about $93 per year. On the surface, a mid -year '85 increase of 25% to
30% should provide adequate revenue to meet the 1986 billing. If MWCC would
spread the 1987 increase over a two-year period, we could probably get by with
the single increase based on the information we now have.
We plan to meet with MWCC regarding these future billings, and will, after
meeting, recommend a course of action which will provide sufficient revenues to
pay the anticipated increases. Action could be taken for the second half of 1985
(billed in September) to help meet these incraaoea.
ACTION REQUIRED
None at this time. Concur with plan to meet with MWCC and return with
possible adjustment alternatives.

MEMO

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. Fraze
City Adminis ator
SUBJECT: Add-on Agenda for April 2nd Meeting
Five items are recommended for addition to this evening's agenda, and
additional information is provided for Item 7d.
3. Adoption of Agenda
It is recommended that the agenda be adopted with the addition of items
5f, 7i, 7j, 7k, and 71.
5f. Memo on Response to City Hall Architect RFP
Please see attached.
7d. Memo on Mn/FSL License Hearing
Councilmember Cummins Will be making a motion for tabling of this item
and will explain his reasons.
7i. Memo on Mileage/Auto
The City of Mendota Heights reimburses employees 22c per mile for use of
a personal automobile on City business. Recent IRS rulings have stipulated
that when more than 20.5c is paid, the excess is subject to withholding and
Social Security taxes.
Because of excessive bookkeeping, most employers are simply cutting back
to the 20.5, and I would propose that we do likewise.
The only exception is Sr. Engineering Technician Tom Knuth, who over the past
three years has averaged 6,200 miles per year. After considering alternative
ways of complying with the law, while not severely penalizing Tom, he and I have
agreed that a $10/month "automobile availability" allowance should be paid, in
addition to the 20.5c per mile. This will result in total compensation of
approximately the same as what he now receives. At this time, there are no other
City employees whose level of auto use is such that the 1.5c cutback would be a
significant loss.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs, it should pass a motion setting the mileage reimbursement
rate at 20.5c and authorize a $10 per month automobile availability payment to
Senior Engineering Technician Tom Knuth.
- 2 -
7j. Endorsement of Beatta Blomquist for AMM Vice -President
Bea Blomquist, Mayor of Eagan, has been nominated for Vice President of
the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities. Counciimember Witt has
suggested that we consider sending a letter endorsing her nomination. Attached
is a proposed letter for Council consideration.
7k. Committment to Attend Southtown Area Meeting
The Northern Dakota County and South St. Paul Chambers of Commerce annually
co-sponsor the Southtown Area Meeting as an occasion for Chamber members to meet
with elected officials, local, State, and Federal, from the area. This year's
event is set for Thursday, August 22nd.
Margaret Peck of the Sun newspapers has contacted me regarding committment
of Mendota Heights officials who will attend. The program committee wants to
publish a list of government officials to be present. Needless -to -say, with
the event about five months away, any committment would be considered tentative.
I have told Margaret that I will try to be there, and I would encourage the Counci.
to sent at least one representative.
ACTION REQUIRED
To indicate who will attend.
71. Memo on MWCC Sewer Charges
Attached is a memo updating Council on the sewer charge issue of which I
alerted you in the Friday News of March 22nd.
No formal Council action is required at this time, but staff will answer
any questions you may have.

Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.
Mr. Russell Wahl, 631 Callahan Place, was present to
file a complaint about a semi being parked on Callahan
regularly and to ask that the Council direct staff to
prepare a proposed ordinance which would restrict
semis from residential districts. There was also some
discussion over the posting of load limits.
Council directed staff to prepare a proposed ordi-
nance, to review the ordinance requirements on load
limits, and to address the immediate problem of semi
parking on Callahan Place.
Councilmember Cummins moved that Peter Villard, 1063
Chippewa Avenue, be appointed as a member of the
Volunteer Fire Department.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Mr. Ralph Linvill and his representatives were present
regarding Mr. Linvill's application for parking
setback variance and to request approval of a building
permit for an office/warehouse structure at the south-
west corner of Pilot Knob Road and Perron Road. Mr.
Larry Anderson, the applicant's legal counsel, stated
that although the agenda indicates need for variance
consideration, he believes the plan complies with the
ordinance and asked for permit approval. He stated
Page No. 2230
April 2, 1985
that the City Planner has recommended that Mr. Linvill
dedicate an additional 13.5 feet of right-of-way for
Perron Road but that without the dedication the plan
complies with the parking setback requirement. He
stated that the planner is concerned over future
access to the property behind the Linvill site and
that there would better truck access to the subject
site if Perron Road is developed. He pointed out that
his client feels that Mr. Dahlgren's concerns are
legitimate and that he is ready to deal with all the
concerns except that he wants variance approval if the
additional right-of-way is dedicated. He stated that
Mr. Linvill would make the dedication along Pilot Knob
Road and would waive the right to appeal assessments
if Perron Road is constructed; although he did not
feel that the Perron Road dedication is necessary at
this time, he would also grant that dedication if the
City felt it was necessary. He noted that Planner
Dahlgren is technically correct in indicating that the
hardship (test) is not met, but stated that his client
is present in a spirit of cooperation: the City would
like the right-of-way dedication and Mr. Linvill would
in return like to have the variance so as to construct
the parking as proposed.
Mr. Bill Price, engineer for the project, reviewed a
sketch plan, stating that the building is set back to
the rear of the lot as far as possible. He stated
that access will be from two points on Pilot Knob
Road, one of which will be at the Perron Road
alignment. The project plan includes improving 50 to
100 feet of Perron Road right-of-way to provide the
access. He felt that there would be a very limited
possibility that Perron Road would ever be extended,
noting that it would only serve three properties: the
Linvill site, the Smith property and the Pabst
property. He stated that the proposed variance would
allow nine additional parking stalls along the Perron
Road right-of-way. The project architect reviewed the
building design including exterior surfacing
consisting of break -off block on the majority of the
structure and smooth block in the loading areas
located on the west side of the structure.
Councilmember Witt noted that there appears to be very
little green area proposed.
Councilmember Cummins asked Mr. Price at what point in
the planning process the Perron Road potential
extension came to his attention. Mr. Price responded
that the matter came up a long time ago, and that Mr.
Linvill has tried to buy right-of-way from Brad Smith

CASE NO. CAO 85-02,

to give to the City but has been unsuccessful. He
stated that the first thought was to request that the
existing right-of-way be vacated.
In response to a question from Councilmember Hartmann,
Public Works Director Danielson reviewed Council
discussions of last fall when the original plan was to
extend Transport,Drive through the Linvill site.
Mayor Lockwood suggested that the Pabst family may at
some future time decide to sell part of their property
for development as smaller parcels and that Perron
Road could therefore become very important. He
pointed out that the Council has already made a
concession in deciding that the east -west alignment
should be Perron Road and not Transport Drive. He
indicated that he could not disagree with the Planning
Commission that there is no hardship on which to base
variance approval.
Planning Commissioner Frank, present in the audience,
stated that the Commission felt it is imperative that
the City retain the potential for Perron -Road. He
informed the Council that there was some discussion
that if the structure's size were reduced there would
not be a need for as much parking as is proposed, and
he suggested that this be considered as an option.
Councilmember Blesener stated that a green space
(area)is necessary between the parking area and right-
of-way and also that the Perron Road right-of-way is
necessary. In response to a comment from Mr. Anderson
she stated that she would not be in favor of granting
the requested variance in trade for the right-of-way
dedication because proposed development of the site is
so dense that as much green space as possible should
be maintained. Councilmember Witt agreed on the green
space need and also the need for additional right-of-
way.
After discussion, Councilmember Blesener move approval
of the issuance of the requested building permit
subject to receipt of executed right-of-way documents
for Pilot Knob Road and Perron Road and final approval
of the plans by City staff.
Councilmember Witt seconded the motion.
Mrs. William Flexner, 1275 Knollwood Lane; was present
to request approval of a critical area modified site
plan to allow construction of an addition on their
home.

addition at 1275 Knollwood Lane.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Councilmember Witt moved to approve plans and
specifications for the 1985 seal coating project and
to authorize staff to advertise for bids to be
received on May 16th.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Councilmember Cummins informed the Council that legal
counsel for Mn/FSL has contacted City Attorney Hart
and indicated that the firm is willing to try to
rectify some of the problems which precipitated the
Council's consideration of license revocation. He
suggested that the revocation hearing process be laid
over for several weeks to allow resolution of problems
some of the homeowners have experienced and to allow
time for development of covenants for the plat. He
recommended that the hearing be rescheduled to May 7th
at which time the hearing could be conducted in the
event that Mn/FSL is either unwilling or unable to
resolve the problems.
Councilmember Cummins moved that the Mn/FSL license
revocation hearing be postponed to May 7th and that
Mn/FSL be formally notified that the hearing has been
rescheduled subject to negotiations between the firm
and the homeowners.
Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion.
The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the
Public Works Director regarding a City street improve-
ment policy. Councilmember Blesener felt that Council
should establish a standard policy for construction or
reconstruction of City streets to urban design. In
response to Council comments, she acknowledged that in
the final analysis it may be that property owners
affected by improvement projects may not be in favor
of urban design, but felt that a written statement of
policy should be adopted.
After discussion, staff was directed to prepare a
proposed resolution to implement a policy of urban

TO: Mendota Heights Planning Commission
FROM: Michael R. Kurtz
Attached for your review is the proposed survey for my property
located at the intersection of Hunter Lane and Orchard Place
in Mendota Heights. I am requesting approval to subdivide two,
very large lots into three, spacious homesites.
Realizing the property is located in a critical area (Mississippi
River Corridor), I have positioned the "new" homesite as follows:
• Bluff Line: Boundary line set approximately 40 feet
from bluff line.
• North Boundary: The northern boundary line is at least
10 feet from the existing home to the north.
• South Boundary: The southern boundary line borders a
line of mature evergreen trees and a 3 -foot incline
off the circular driveway servicing the house to the
south.
This proposed southern boundary makes a natural boundary
without disturbing the.beauty of the six evergreen trees
which are approximately 40 feet high.

no structural damage but damage to the furnace was set at $40.00.
The second fire was a vehicle fire on Furlong Avenue. The damage was contained
to the engine compartment. The damage estimate was set at $500.00:
The last fire call was to the Parker House in Mendota. Employees of the Parker
House extinguished the fire on the grill with two extinguishers before the first
apparatus arrived. No damage was reported.
