At that time, it was not contemplated that bonds might be issued for Housing purposes under Chapter 462C. At this time, we do not have a Housing Bond proposal before us. However, it is possible that the City could, in the future, be asked to issue additional Housing Bonds under Chapter 462C, and we should be in a position to request a fee from such a project for our IR fund. ACTION REQUIRED If the Council concurs, adopt Resolution No. 85- , to incorporate housing revenue bonds as part of the IR Bond Guidelines. LES:madlr attachment CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 14, 1985 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Adm' it FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Feasibility Study Tuminelly's Hunter Lane Addition Job No. 8301 Improvement No. 83, Project No. 1 INTRODUCTION: In January 1983 Carmen Tuminelly replatted a 2.26 acre lot along Hunter Lane into three lots. Sewer and water are available to one lot along Hunter Lane but not to the two westerly lots. (Map attached) It is the City's policy to require each individual lot to have direct access to a City main, so Mr. Tuminelly agreed to petition the City for the needed improvements. DISCUSSION: Mr. Tuminelly lived in the existing home on the westerly lot and de- cided not to develop the other two immediately. He has now sold that home and would like to run in the utilities so that the other two lots can be de- veloped. SANITARY SEWER A City sewer main would be run in an easement to the south of the homes in order to preserve a stand of evergreens growing in the right of way along the north lot line. This new City main would follow the same alignment as the sanitary sewer service lead to the existing home. WATER St. Paul Water Utility refuses to run in a water main for such a small development, therefore 1-1/2" service leads are proposed to be installed within the southerly utility easement along the same alignment as the sani- tary sewer. STORM WATER Storm water runoff will be along the south side of this property and carried under Hunter Lane by means of an existing culvert. No new construc- tion is deemed necessary at this time. STREETS Mr. Tuminelly dedicated half a street on the north of his property adjoining the Ted Van property. At such time that Mr. Van or successive owners would desire to develop their property the other half street could be dedicated and the street constructed at that time. No new street construc- J tion is deemed necessary at this time. The estimated cost for the sanitary sewer and water service construc- tion is $19,600, including engineering, overhead and contingencies. RECOMMENDATION: The sanitary sewer and water service construction as described in the discussion is a feasible project and is recommended for construction. ACTION REQUIRED: , If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation it should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 85- , Resolution Accepting Engineer's Report, Ordering Improvement, and Ordering Preparation of Plans and Specifi- cations To Serve Hunter Lane Addition (Improvement No.83, Project No. 1). (Mr. Tuminelly has waived his rights for a public hearing and the new owners are buying on a contract attached).

May 14, 1985 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment - Housing Element INTRODUCTION On Tuesday,.April 30, Council met in workshop with the Planning Commission to review a proposed amendment to the Housing Element of our Comprehensive Guide Plan. Although Council concurred with the substance of the proposed changes, several minor amendments and wording changes were agreed to. Attached are the corrected pages as prepared by Planner Dahlgren's office. It is recommended that Council approve the draft dated April 1, 1985, with the attached amendments and forward it to the Metropolitan Council. BACKGROUND In 1976, the legislature passed the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, which required each community in the 7 -county metropolitan area to prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan, addressing particular issues. Among the issues required for inclusion was a housing section setting forth a numerical goal of low and moderate housing opportunities in the 1980's, and a strategy for achieving those goals. The philosophy behind this legislation was that each community has a responsibility to meet its "fair share" of the low and moderate housing needs of the metropolitan area. Mendota Heights adopted a Comprehensive Plan by the 1980 deadline, but did not address the issue of housing goals or implementation strategy. When the Metropolitan Council reviewed the plan (as required by the Act), they noted the deficiency, and asked the City to take corrective action. No follow-up was discussed until 1983, at which time mortgage revenue bonds were issued for the Lexington Heights apartments. The Metropolitan Council is required to approval all such issues. Their approval was made contingent on a letter from the City agreeing that the deficiency in the Housing Component of the Comprehensive Plan would be addressed. Approximately one year ago, Council and Planning Commission held a workshop with Metropolitan Council housing staff to review the issue. We learned that, except for a few very small cities, Mendota Heights was the only community that had not yet complied with this provision of the Land Planning Act. It was agreed that the Planning Commission should proceed to draft a proposed amendment for Council consideration. That final draft was reviewed at the April 30 workshop. - 2 - CHANGES - CHANGES IN THE PLAN The proposed amendment updates the entire Housing Element to reflect 1985 statistics and record housing developments over the past five years. Two particularly significant efforts the City has made during this time are approval in 1979 of Dakota's Adults, a group home for 12 mentally and physically retarded adults, and issuance of the bonds for Lexington Heights, which resulted in 46 units for low and moderate income households. Therefore, even if our Plan hasn't been in compliance, in activity we have been doing our "fair share." Beyond the minor "updating" changes, the substantive policy changes are found on pages 14, 15, 23 and 24. By these amendments, we are adopting the following: 1. A goal of developing 45 low and moderate income units by 1990. 25 of these would be targeted to senior citizens and 20 to families... , In 1983 figures, low and moderate means affordable to a family of four with income of $26,000 or less; sales price is $65,600 or less, rental is $550 or less. To help achieve this goal, a 15% density bonus for single family developments, and 257 density bonus for multi -family developments would be adopted. Also, waiver of immediate construction of a garage, provided sufficient space for future construction and an access drive shall be provided. The "bonuses" would be provided for a developer only if the benefit to low and moderate income households are documented in a developer's agreement. 2. A goal to develop 50 modest cost market rate units by 1990. In 1983 figures, modest means affordable to a family of four with income of $29,600 or less; sales price of $73,500 or less; and''' rental of $600 or less. To encourage implementation of this goal, a 25% density bonus and innovative clustering and zero lot line approaches will be allowed in PUD's, again contingent upon documentation of benefit in a developer's agreement. 3. A stipulation that a Certificate of Occupancy program for resales will be considered if housing conditions become an issue of future community concern. RECOMMENDATION These goals, coupled with units already developed, should adequately meet our "fair share" allocation. The City Planner and Planning Commission feel that the goals are reasonable. Therefore, it is recommended that Council adopt the amended Housing Element for forwarding to the Metropolitan Council. ACTION REQUIRED Motion to adopt the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment -Housing Element and forwarding it to the Metropolitan Council. KDF:madlr attachments Affordable Housing Since the cost of market rate housing is beyond the reach of some Mendota Heights residents, especially senior citizens, the City of Mendota Heights will consider the development of low and moderate income housing units for families and elderly. The cost of market rate housing is beyond the reach of many households. Many families are currently priced out of the housing market. Assisted housing needs to be available to low and moderate income residents and future residents of Mendota Heights. Since the programs which encourage the development of new assisted units are limited to Senior citizens the City must at present rely on programs that permit utilization of existing structures. The City of Mendota Heights will encourage the development of assisted housing units for families and the elderly to help meet this need. The present lack of programs for new construction for non -elderly citizens will greatly limit the ability of the City to initiate projects without State and Federal programs. Policies: 1. Continue to work with the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to provide low and moderate income housing on a scattered site basis to meet the needs of young and old, small and large families. 2. Encourage the appropriate use of federal, state, local, and other financial resources in order to obtain funds and other incentives that will promote an appropriate amount of low and moderate cost housing. 3. Consider incentives that will assist private developers to construct market rate housing for low, moderate and modest income households. D. HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM The intent of the Housing Implementation Program is to identify actions the City will take to implement the housing policies of the preceding section. The Housing Implementation Program will emphasize maintenance of the present housing stock as well as the provision of a variety of housing types and sizes for those in different age and income groups. The housing policies intend to insure the availability of a variety of quality housing to existing residents and those people desiring to reside in the City of Mendota Heights. The objective of the Housing Implementation Program is to specify actions which will ensure the desired result of these policies as quantified in numerical objectives. 3. Low and Moderate Income Housing Assisted housing is needed to provide housing for those households with low or moderate incomes. The greatest need for assisted housing exists among families. In recent years, the housing needs of low and moderate income elderly households have been better met than the housing needs of families in these income levels. While this trend is true for the metro area as a whole this is not true for the City of Mendota Heights. Presently, there are no assisted senior citizen housing units within the City. The fact that programs are still in effect to construct assisted senior housing makes the provision of this housing type easier than the construction of assisted housing for families. The City of Mendota Heights will encourage an additional 45 housing households in the next five years. These units will be targeted to 20 units for families. This goal will be met through a combination housing units. units for low and moderate income 25 units for Senior Citizens and of new construction and existing The City of Mendota Heights will take the following actions to encourage additional housing units for low and moderate income households. a. The City will continue to participate in the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. b. Encourage the use of regional, state, or federal housing subsidy programs for low and moderate income households. c. Encourage scattered site development of low and moderate income housing units. d. For single family homes the City will grant the following provided the development benefits moderate income households and the benefits are documented in a signed developers agreement. e. i. Adopt the policy of not requiring a garage with the provision that space for a future garage be provided and provided that a driveway is constructed with adequate parking; and ii. Allow up to a 15 percent increase in density. For multiple family and planned unit developments, the City will grant the following provided the development benefits low and moderate income households: i. Allow up to a 25 percent increase Development; and ii. Adopt a policy of not requiring a in the future. When a garage is lieu of garages. The developer's construction. in density when the project is part of a Planned Unit garage if space not constructed agreement shall is provided so that a garage can sufficient parking area shall be make provision for future timing be built provided in of garage CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO ,-- lafTO: Mayor, City Council,City A tor FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Liquor Ordinance Amendments Sunday Liquor Provisions May 14, 1985 INTRODUCTION The "Special Sunday Liquor Licenses" special election ballot received majority approval by the electorate at the November 6, 1984 General and City Election. We have prepared a proposed ordinance to amend the Liquor Ordinance to include Special Sunday Liquor License eligibility, application and enforcement provisions. The proposed amending ordinance is attached for Council review. DISCUSSSION/RECOMMENDATION As most of you are aware, the City's liquor ordinance was generally modeled after Bloomington's liquor ordinance. Most of the proposed amending language was excerpted from Bloomington's liquor ordinance: the only significant change from Bloomington's regulations is in Section 12 (restricted hours of operation). The proposed ordinance reflects Sunday liquor sale hours beginning at 11:00 A.M. as was stated on the election ballot. Language which is proposed to amend existing Ordinance sections has been underlined in the draft ordinance. I recommend Council adoption of the attached proposed ordinance. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs in the staff recommendation, it should pass a motion adopting Ordinance No. 213, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1403."

Danielson Public Works Director and Thomas C. Knuth Senior Engineering Technician SUBJECT: Street Deterioration Ivy Falls East Job No. 8507 Improvement No. 85, Project No. 3 May 15, 1985 INTRODUCTION: Council has ordered staff to conduct a feasibility study to upgrade the streets in the Ivy Falls East subdivision because of the increasing mainten- ance required to keep the streets, especially Downing, in driveable condi- tion. HISTORY: In the summer of 1965, the City installed sanitary sewer, water mains and services to serve the newly platted subdivision; afterwhich Mendota Development Company, the developer, paved the streets with 4 inches of gravel base and 1-1/2 inches of bituminous surfacing. Over the early years, service trench settlements caused depressions in the roadway and curbs, that together with flat street grades, resulted in ponding water on the streets, especially Brompton and Downing. This ponding water probably hastened the demise of the street surface. DISCUSSION: Storm Water Since all streets except Brompton drain toward Trunk Highway 13, there is no readily available storm sewer system towards which the runoff can be directed; however, since all streets are short and the drainage district quite small, the most important aspect concerning storm water is to restore positive drainage by rebuilding the curb and gutter in the areas that are now ponding water. A short segment of storm sewer on Downing was studied, but because of the shallow ditches on Trunk Highway 13, the resultant storm sewer would be either extremely shallow, and prone to freeze -ups, or if carried underground along Trunk Highway 13, cost prohibitive. Streets Three different approaches were studied, full reconstruction, minimum maintenance type overlay, and a middle of the road, cost effective type construction. ii Scheme I 1 Fu1l'Reconstruction With this scheme all curbing and bituminous would be removed and re- placed with our normal city residential street consisting of B-618 curb and gutter, two inches of bituminous surface and six inches of crushed rock base. The problem with this scheme is the expense of the removal and disposal of the existing concrete and bituminous, particularly next to the numerous existing concrete driveways and lawn sprinkler systems. This scheme would cost about $127,000 including fees and contingencies for an average assessment of $4,700 per lot or about 40 percent more than in a new subdivision. Scheme II - Minimum Maintenance This scheme calls for only a two inch overlay on all streets with some reconstruction of failed bituminous surface. The problem with this scheme would be that most of the ponding water would remain near any settled sections of existing curb and gutter. This scheme would cost about $37,000 including fees and contingencies for an average assessment of $1,400 per lot. Scheme III - Substantial Reconstruction This scheme calls for removal and replacement of the settled sections of curb to restore positive drainage (mostly on Brompton and Downing), removal and replacement of weakened bituminous, and a two inch overlay of all streets, giving us a street of structural strength equal to our present standards. Some possible problems with this scheme would be an inconsistent appearance of new and existing curb, and the retention of the surmountable type curb now utilitized in this subdivision. Costs for this scheme would be about $62,000 including fees and contingencies for an average assessment of about $2,300 per lot. Dick Ploumen, Public Works Superintendent, has estimated that if a;:. project is not ordered and City crews have to perform a maintenance project, it will require approximately 90 tons of blacktop and two days of men and equipment time to patch the failed areas. The cost of the blacktop would run about $2,500. RECOMMENDATION: Since Scheme I costs seem excessive, and Scheme II would probably only delay reconstruction a few years, staff recommends Scheme III. Scheme III is reasonable and feasible and is recommended for construction. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation, Council should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 85- , Accepting Engineering Report And Calling For Hearing On Proposed Street Improvements To Serve Ivy Falls East. (Improvement No. 85, Project No. 3), on July 2, 1985. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 15, 1985 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Kurtz Subdivision Case No. 85-05 DISCUSSION: The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their April meeting to consider this subdivision. There were 10 to 15 residents present at the meeting who were generally opposed to the subdivision. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the request be denied. Mr. Kurtz was unable to attend the May 7th City Council meeting because he was out of town, therefore the matter was held off the agenda. Since the Planning Commission meeting Mr. Kurtz has come to staff and stated that he intends to adjust the lot line of the northerly lot so that no new variances will be needed for it. (His drawing now shows only 92 feet of frontage) RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends against approval of the subdivision. ACTION REQUIRED: Review the subdivision with the applicant and based upon Council com- ments and Planning Commission recommendation take action on the request. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 15, 1985 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Anderson/Curley Sanitary Sewer and Water Extension Feasibility Report Job No. 8426 Improvement No. 85, Project No. 1 INTRODUCTION: Last fall, Allen Anderson, 1755 Lexington Avenue, and Thomas Curley, 1751 Lexington Avenue, petitioned the City for sanitary sewer and water main extensions. The City Council at that time accepted the petition and ordered a feasibility study subject to the receipt of a $1000 escrow deposit. (Resolution No. 85-03 attached) DISCUSSION: These are existing residences that are located on a private driveway extending west from Lexington Avenue. The residences are surrounded on all sides by developed land with no possibility of further extensions of either utilities or streets. There are sewer and water mains available in Lexington Avenue that can be utilized to serve the properties. The two ways to extend the services would be: 1. Private Service Leads These could be installed in private easements and construction costs would be totally financed by the homeowners. The Anderson and Curley properties did not pay assessments when the Lexington Avenue utilities were put in, therefore, do not have the right to hook into it without paying a connection charge (approximately $6,200). 2. Public Utility Extensions Utilities could be installed by the City in public easements with the costs for the work assessed to the properties over 19 years. Estimated costs for this method are $18,200. RECOMMENDATION: The $9,100 per lot is higher than the "going rate" for sewer and water assessments these days however, they can be explained because of the small size of the project causes some inefficiencies and there are some driveway and street repair costs included. Staff feels that alternate number 2 is a technically and financially feasible project and recommends that Council order the project and authorize the preparation of plans and specifications. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council concurs with the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 85-_, Resolution Accepting Engineer's Re- port, Ordering Improvement, And Preparation Of Plans And Specifications For Sanitary Sewer and Watermain Extension To Serve Anderson/Curley Properties (Improvement No. 85, Project No. 1) CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY.

Danielson Public Works Director and Paul K. Berg Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: Acacia Cemetery, 2151 Pilot Knob Road Sign Variance Case No. 85-11 DISCUSSION: By City Zoning Ordinance cemeteries are allowed in residential dis- tricts. Ordinance 40I 7.3(4) permits signs as an accessory use. Section 18.6(3) allows a name plate sign not exceeding 12 square feet. Acacia Cemetery proposes to construct an elegant sign out of stone that matches the stone of their existing buildings. The sign message will be done in cast metal letters (see drawing) and is to be located at their entrance adjacent to Pilot Knob Road. The sign is proposed to be set back 47 feet from the existing right-of-way line to allow for the extra 17 feet of future right-ot-wuy. The total sign area requested is approximately 40 square feet. RECOMMENDATION: Staff can see no technical reason not to grant the 28 square foot ~' variance as requested. The Planning Commission may wish to discuss with applicant the dedication of 17 feet of right-of-way for Pilot Knob Road. The County proposes to upgrade Pilot Knob Road in 1990 when Mn/DOT con- structs Trunk Highway 13 along its new alignment south of the MAC property.

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Robert G. Lockwood, Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk PLANNING REPORT DATE: 21 May 1985 CASE NUMBER: 85-10 APPLICANT: Mendota Heights Associates (James Riley) LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: South of Mendota Heights Road (Extended), North of I-494, Between Dodd Road Delaware Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential.to High Density Residential; Rezoning from R-1 to R-3; Variance to Parking Requirements; Conditional Use Permit for PUD 1. When the comprehensive Plan was last reviewed and amended in its entirety in 1979, the Council decided to leave the bulk of the land contiguous to and north of I-494 (as then projected) as Low Density Residential (15,000 square feet) and in some cases Rural Residential (40,000 square feet). The general consensus was that the ultimate construction of the freeway was then somewhat in doubt inasmuch as there were continued legal maneuvers to divert it up I -35E to Highway 110 and/or other optional routes. Acquisition had not yet been accomplished (by Mn/DOT) and the Council did not want to inflate the value of the land based on a potential land use created by the freeway. The ultimate decision was to leave the land planned for single family development, and zoned Single family, portions of it at 15,000 square feet per lot and portions at 40,000 square feet per lot in the far southeast area of the City. It was assumed that if the freeway were constructed, the City would wait for proposal on the part of ultimate landowners for other more intensive uses. 2. Jim Riley has contracted to purchase 69.7 acres of land, a portion of which is guided for Low Density Residential and a portion guided for Rural Density Residential. He proposes to construct a multi -family housing project similar to that which he has already constructed on the land that he owned CASE NUMBER: 85-10 APPLICANT: Mendota Heights Adsociates Page 2 for many years between I -35E and Lexington Avenue with which you are all familiar. The density in that project is approximately 12.5 units per acre. The density proposed on the site now in question would be 8.5 units per acre. 3. Attached are copies of plans submitted by the applicant for approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan , the rezoning of the land to R-3, and approval of Planned Unit Development as submitted. 4. The staff has reviewed the plans with the applicant on several occasions, offering suggestions for improvement in site layout and circulation. We suggest that the plan as submitted will function well and appropriately use the assets of the site. =. The big question is, of course, the change in land use and zoning in this portion of the City and its impact on other properties. We have suggested that Mr. Riley talk to neighbors in the area to inform them of the proposal so that they can evaluate such impact for themselves. We understand that he has done this and has received favorable comments from landowners which he may wish to comment on at the meeting. 5. The development will consist of a total of eight major structures plus a recreational building. There will be 592 units with 1.08 parking stalls under the building per unit plus 1.0 stalls per unit exterior parking. The ordinance required 2.5 parking spaces per unit. Mr. Riley has provided that parking in his previous development and has concluded that two parking stalls per unit will .74pe adequate. We suggest that this is not an important point as long as provision is made for adding additional parking if required. The variance then is from 2.5 spaces per unit to 2.08 spaces per unit. 6. Attached is a copy of a statement prepared as required in the Planned Unit Development Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance. The data presented in that report will not be repeated here. 7. Traffic analysis has been completed since we last discussed the application with Mr. Riley. We will check further regarding these figures prior to the Planning Commission hearing next Tuesday. The general conclusions, however, appear to be reasonably accurate. 8. Of considerable importance, in our opinion, is the fact that the proposed development is relatively low density for multi -family housing. We can anticipate pressure in the CASE NUMBER: 85-10 APPLICANT: Mendota Heights Associates Page 3 future for commercial development along the freeway, particularly at points in the vicinity of interchange access to the freeway. Thus, the proposed development is relatively low density in comparison with other possibilities for properties contiguous to freeway development in local suburban communities in the Metropolitan Area today. Virtually all the land south of the freeway in Eagan, in this sector, is zoned Industrial or Commercial. 9. There may be concern expressed by the neighborhood to the north regarding the development. To the northwest, between the neighborhood and the proposed development is the proposed major park site for the southwest area of the City currently owned by the School District. This park site with its rolling terrain could, of course, function as an appropriate transition from the approximately 5,000 square foot density per unit proposed in this development to the approximately 10,000 and 15,000 square foot lots in the neighborhood.

In order to achieve this, they are requesting a 10 foot variance to the required 30 foot front yard setback. Because of the smaller lot sizes in Friendly Hills, the City Council had received a number of front yard variance requests and in September of 1979, the Council established a policy to allow variances of 10 feet or less when it could be demonstrated that a new garage could be constructed without any further variances (see attached excerpt from Minutes). The Fett's plan falls within the guidelines of the established variance policy. RECOMMENDATION Staff can see no technical reason not to grant the requested 10 foot variance. The Commission should note that the applicant has obtained the signatures of their affected neighbors indicating their approval. ACTION REQUIRED Discuss the proposal with applicant and make recommendation to Council. JED/PRB:madlr attachment EXCERPT from September 18, 1979 City Council minutes VARIANCE POLICY Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 It was the concensus of the Council that a policy should be adopted which would limit consideration of front yard setback variances to applications for variances of 10 feet or les: The primary concern was that approval of var- iances which would allow conversion of garage space into living space might create situations where future garage construction might require variances which would intrude upon the front yards closer than twenty feet from the property line. After discussion, Councilman Losleben moved the adoption of a policy limiting front yard set- back variance consideration to those applic- ations requesting variances of ten feet or less and requiring submission of a plan showing how a new garage could be constructed in such a way as not to create the necessity to consider additional future front yard setback request (in those cases where an existing garage is being converted to living space). Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. PLANNING REPORT DATE: 21 May 1985 CASE NUMBER: 85-13 APPLICANT: John Sellner LOCATION: Northwest Corner of Summit Lane and Avanti Drive ACTION REQUESTED: Variance to Rear Yard Setback PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The Sellners propose to build a 19 foot wide by 21 foot deep double garage attached to the existing garage to their home at 1855 Summit Lane. The property fronts on Summit Lane, having 95.46 feet of frontage (to the 20 foot radius on the corner) on Summit Lane and 109.86 feet of frontage on Avanti (again, to the 20 foot corner radius). 2. Attached is a copy of a drawing illustrating the site plan showing the existing home and the addition on the corner lot. Under these conditions, the legal rear yard is the west side of the property where the required setback (rear yard depth) is 30 feet. 3 The site plan indicates a proposed setback on the rear yard of 22 feet. Thus, the variance required to construct the garage as proposed would be 8 feet. 4. You will note that the applicants have obtained the signatures of approval from a number of the nearby neighbors. Thus, it would appear that the proposal has considerable merit. The hardship is that a double garage of less than 19 feet becomes an unworkable functional structure. 17 2.•.•5 .• •at.3 --1 ••••• 'tes •ts IVIP•r\1L- Y Ll OUL 1? - 13 si • 7 s' E.1• ••11 A in zi :(19 JLJ 9 f.• . /ANA 4:1FT 5 14 e, • M!t. • • 1 . s is,g.;,!1.Rit 44!..:,.......z::..n.,:e. . .4. :41 ..'• '• -i/ 4 .7 ...

Minor Conditional Use Permit Subdivision Approval Plan Approval Wetlands Permit Other The Applicant requests a Variance from minimum Garage square footage (440') and minimum set back from house and side lot line (5') for the purpose of building a single car garage at site of existing slab due to the following hardship: house and lot are relatively small and we suited for single car garage at existing slab, terrain in back yard slopes down sharply from existing slab, putting 2 car garage in would require extensive fill and grading & would be expensive, and a 2 car garage would make house appear too small compared to garage. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 21, 1985 T0: Planning Commission FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director and Paul R. Berg Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: Durbahn Variance, 583 Valley Lane Case No. 85-12 DISCUSSION: Michelle Durbahn, representing the estate of Walter Murray, 583 Valley Lane, has requested the variances required to reconstruct a garage. There was an existing garage, located on the site at approximately the same loca- tion and of the same size of the proposed new garage. This old garage was demolished due to dilapidation. The new garage requested is to be 12' X 20' (240 square feet). The City's minimum garage size is 440 square feet. The garage is also shown to be 1'10" from the side property line (a minimum 5 feet side yard setback is required on a detached garage). The applicant contends that the house and lot are both small and well suited for a single car garage. They also contend that requiring a two car garage to be located in the rear yard of the lot would need extensive filling and grading. The applicant has made a statement on the bottom of the variance appli- cation for Planning Commission consideration. It was noted by an onsite; visit by staff that a new slab has already been poured at the proposed location. Staff also noted anchor bolts were not installed in the new slab. RECOMMENDATION: Inasmuch as the home has had a garage located in the requested location for some time and staff is unaware of any problems associated with that garage, we can see no technical reason not to grant the variances as re- quested. The variances required would be a 3'2" side yard setback variance and a 200 square foot variance to the required square footage for a garage. It should be noted that the applicant has submitted a signature from the adjacent neighbor. ACTION REQUIRED: Discuss with applicant the particulars of the requested variances and make a recommendation to City Council. 2. That the Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver any and aIl.contracta and documents necessary to consummate the awarding of said bids. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 21st day of May, 1985. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Robert G. Lockwood, Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson, City Clerk PLANNING REPORT DATE: 20 May 1985 CASE NUMBER: 85-12 APPLICANT: Michele Durbahn LOCATION: On Valley Lane Between View Lane and Kirchners Avenue ACTION REQUESTED: Variance to Side Yard Setback PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Michele Durbahn is a representative of the estate of Walter J. Murray. In preparation for the sale of this property from the estate, an existing single car garage was torn down because it was structurally unsound and in a deteriorating condition. The garage was located within a foot or two (exact location not indicated on the site plan) of the east property line, .whereas the required location for such a garage relevant to the property line is five feet (side yard requirement for an accessory building). 2. Thus, the garage is a non -conforming structure, and could have been maintained in the non -conforming class indefinitely. However, inasmuch as the garage was completely removed, except for the slab, a variance is technically required to rebuild it on the present slab. 3. Thus, the applicants are applying for approval of a variance to allow for the reconstruction of a new garage on the existing slab at the same location as the old garage. At the meeting, we should attempt to determine the exact setback so that an appropriate, accurate variance may be considered. 4. Attached is a copy of the site plan indicating lot dimensions, and the specific location and size of the residence. You will note, however, that the crucial side yard setback is not indicated. Obviously, however, it is less than the five feet required. 5. You will also notice a copy of a statement from the contiguous, property owners, *William H. .and Margie Wegner, approving the reconstruction of the garage at its former location on the existing slab. 6. There are, as you know, quite a number of non -conforming structures (in terms of location on the lot) and others for which variances have been issued over the years in this part of the City. You will notice on the small topographic map attached to the section map that the contiguous house to the east is some distance away. Thus, it would appear that the variance is reasonable. 1 4 5 r '1� o „� Jf 1 .4. b u h t 3 • 4 J �t .� 4 e. 6 c h _5"-''. 4 �' 3 9) 2 ,, y s t. Jti IV!' !

Knob Road and Acacia Park Entrance ACTION REQUESTED: Variance to Sign Size PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The Acacia Park Cemetery people propose to build a new ground sign at the principal entrance to the cemetery, west of the point where County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road) turns from north -south to east -west. Attached is a copy of a site plan indicating the proposed location and the design of the sign. 2. The sign will be located 30 feet back from the westerly property line. This distance will be measured from the future property line. Mr. Stoven has agreed to dedicate this additional right-of-way with this proposal. Thus, the location of the sign is not a problem. 3 Mendota Heights ordinance allows a sign of up to 12 square feet for an institutional use in a residential district. The sign they propose will be 7 feet high and 17 feet long, producing an area of 119 square feet. The sign, however, will be constructed of stone to match the stonework utilized in the principal structure on the property. In view of the vast scale of the cemetery, compared to other residential uses, it would appear that a larger sign than 12 square feet may well be appropriate. Metal letters will be attached to this sign with the notation "Acacia Park Cemetery" only. 4. As indicated on the sign sketch, there will be appropriate landscaping contiguous to and in front of the sign. l i _ WRt,Iu ._)Ltf1 f94te % / / l // / / /) —/ +,/� (/ //� / r APPLICANT: t' `Acacia.

Danielson Public Works Director and Paul R. Berg Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: McGown Subdivision and Variances Case No. 85-08 DISCUSSION: The McGowns are proposing a four lot subdivision on Wentworth Avenue adjacent to the Gryc plat near the Wachtler/Wentworth intersection. In planning the subdivision, the McGowns also considered constructing a small cul-de-sac to subdivide the property. The cul-de-sac would only provide one additional lot and it was not economically feasible for the one additional lot to pay for the extra street and utilities involved. There is sewer and water available in Wentworth to serve all lots in the proposed subdivision, no new utility or street construction will be necessary to serve these lots as proposed. The county's driveway spacing policy would not allow for access to the proposed lots. According to County policy when the traffic volume is 3000 A.D.T. they require an 1/8 mile spacing of driveways. Staff feels that all of Wentworth is developed with lots served by individual driveways and it is not unreasonable to continue with this subdivision. It was noted by a site visit that there is also a hillcrest by the easterly lot that obstructs the vision of a vehicle utilizing a driveway of proposed Lot 1. There is an existing driveway across the street from that lot that has a turnaround in the driveway so that cars don't have to back out on Wentworth. That type of driveway seems to reduce the problem of entering Wentworth. Another factor that will improve the safety of the proposed driveways is that Wentworth and Wachtler will become a "T" intersection with stop signs this summer. Three of the new lots (proposed Lots 1, 2, and 3) have more than double the lot area required but are 6.7 feet short of the required 100 foot lot frontage. RECOMMENDATION: Although the plat as submitted does not meet the minimum county guide- lines for access spacing, staff does not feel that there are other feasible alternatives for developing this land. Prior to execution of a final plat by the City, the City will require a $600 per lot park contribution. ACTION REQUIRED: Conduct a public hearing and based on input from the public and Planning Commission members make a recommendation to City Council. FIRE MARSHAL: No problems. POLICE DEPT: the lots are at the crest of a hill and there may be problems with site access. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 21, 1985 TO: Planning Commission FROM: James E.

This notice now includes costs for completing curb and gutter con- struction for Hiawatha and Fremont Avenues and Garden Lane. The first notice sent out was for curb and gutter along Chippewa Avenue only. Now, because of interest from the neighborhood the City Council is considering adding curb and gutter to other areas. A petition in favor of full curb and gutter was received by the City from a number of residents living along Hiawatha Avenue. How assessment costs would be divided for the project has not yet been decided. Assessments for a normal City street with curb°and gutter have been running about $30-$35 per lineal assessable foot; however because Municipal State Aid Funds can be made available to pick up much of the cost on Chippewa Avenue, assessments have been projected to be much lower. Staff is preparing some assessment alternatives for the Council to consider at the June 4th hearing. Very truly yours, ames E. Danielson, P.E.

Assistant Fire Chief John Maczko was present to respond to Council questions regarding the 1984 Fire Department annual report. In response to a question from Councilmember Witt regarding the incidence of false alarms, Assistant Chief Maczko stated that about 355 of the 1984 calls were false alarms. The average response to each of the calls was 2.3 pieces of apparatus and 22 men for a cost of about $282 per false alarm. He felt that the concern should be addressed, indicated that repeat offenders are a problem and stated that while there has been some controversy about charging for false alarms there should be an ordinance to provide for penalties. It was the concensus of the Council that preparation of a false alarm ordinance should be placed on the staff's work program. Assistant Chief Maczko stated that the training program has been increased and that manpower is adequate. He also indicated that the department would like the Council to adopt a barbecue ordinance for apartments and condominiums and expressed the concern that the Lexington Heights Apartment complex wood frame construction presents a potential hazard. On the recommendation of the City Administrator, Mayor Lockwood moved to contract with R.C. Lawn Care to provide lawn care service for the fire station at the rate of $178 per month. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Mr. Lawrence Culligan was present, representing Michael Kurtz, to request approval of the division of Lot 2, Block 1 of the Phillips Hill Addition and a parcel of unplatted property north of Lot 2 into three Page No, 2271 May 21, 1985 lots. He stated that Mr. Kurtz proposes to substantially increase the appearance of the two homes located on the properties and to increase the number of plantings around the proposed homesites. He stated that underground utilities would be provided to the lots and that there will be restrictive covenants to control future development on all three lots. The lots as proposed would consist of 27,000, 26,000 and 29,000 square feet. He indicated that one of the items of concern to the Planning Commission was common driveway to serve all three lots. He stated that the Fire Department has reviewed the plan. He informed the Council that a cul-de-sac to serve the properties would require the removal of several trees and therefore the fifty -foot wide common driveway with three driveways branching off to serve the lots is proposed. He stated that a variance from the lot width requirement at the building setback for the center lot is also requested: the lot width at the setback is 85 feet. Responding to a question from Councilmember Hartmann, Mr. Culligan stated that the lot area above the bluffline for the lots is 16,000, 12,000 and 26,000 square feet. It was noted that the Planning Commission had recommended denial of the application. Councilmember Witt asked Commission Member Morson to comment. Mr. Morson responded that he could only comment for himself, not for the entire Commission. He stated that the sketch presented this evening is not the same as that reviewed by the Commission. He indicated that the obejction he had to the plan after viewing the property was the effective area of the newly created lot which is approximately 10,750 square feet, excluding the driveway area which has no effective use. He stated that the width of the lot is less than 100 feet and the setback from the bluffline is only 35 feet by scale. He noted that the holder of the contract for deed for the property objects to the subdivision and he (Mr. Morson) is not satisfied that a contract for deed would be adequate to remove a structure and subdivide the land when the holder of the contract objects. He felt that the nature of the new (center) lot is such that it would not be large enough to accommodate the type of structure someone might want to build on it: it did not seem to be a lot appropriate to that area of the City. Mr. Culligan stated that Mr. Kurtz would pay off the contract for deed prior to platting. He agreed that Page No. 2272 May 21, 1985 the lot areas in the neighborhood are very large, but he felt that people can no longer hold onto three to five acre homesites because taxes and assessments become confiscatory. He pointed out that the total land area is approximately 82,000 square feet and informed the Council that Mr. Kurtz also owns the Beaudette's Addition (in Mendota, below the subject property) which is not proposed for development because Mr. Kurtz is displeased with some of the Lilydale bluffline development and does not want the Beaudette's Addition developed. Mayor Lockwood stated that he is familiar with the Phillips and Frye properties and felt that those property owners are apprehensive over the proposal because the fear an adverse impact on their land values. Councilmember Cummins felt that one of the Hunter concerns is that the proposal is out of character with the neighborhood in terms of lot size, and he pointed out that the actual useable area of the proposed lots is small. Mr. Kurtz, present for the discussion, stated that the middle lot is about 120 feet wide at the bluffline, that the property is located in an area of substantial homes, and that one of the proplems he has is that Mr. Phillips still owns Lot 1 of the Phillips Hill Addition. He stated that he plans to restore his home, located on Lot 2, somewhat. He noted that if he were to combine the subject property with the Beaudette's Addition, each of the lots would be about 50,000 square feet. He also stated that he has talked to Mr. Phillips and Mr. Hunter about his plans for berming and trees. Mr. Morson stated that he has quickly reviewed this evening's drawing which shows a 30 by 45 foot house on the center lot (as a possibility) at the 85 foot building line. If a proposed structure is greater than 30 feet wide a variance from the bluffline setback will be required: he felt that it is question- able whether even a 30 foot wide house could be built on the lot without a variance. He pointed out that the size and depth of the proposed center lot and the potential need for variances to accommodate a structure were the reasons for the Commission's denial recommendation. Mayor Lockwood stated that the applicant is requesting approval of rather strange looking lots: if the Council were to approve the subdivision as requested the applicant would be ill-advised to WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 2273 May 21, 1985 return later for additional variances to accommodate a structure. He felt that Council should let the Commission denial stand at this time without prejudice to reconsideration of another, revised plan at a later date. He felt that it would be inappropriate to approve the subdivision and then be faced with variance requests when the property is sold. Councilmember Cummins stated that he shares the Council's concerns and suggested that the applicant should find a buyer for the proposed center lot who would be able to confirm that he would build the kind of structure appropriate to the area and also tht something could be built without variances. Council - member Witt stated that she is concerned about the size of the structures which could be built on the lots. Mr. Kurtz reviewed a proposal which would provide 100 feet of width at the building line for the center lot. Mr. Morson pointed out that what has been reviewed is just a sketch, not a survey. He recommended that the applicant should submit a registered survey showing the dimensions and setbacks and accurate information on lot sizes. After discussion, the matter was referred back to the Planning Commission on the basis that the applicant will provide an accurate survey, that the center lot have at least 100 feet of width at the building -line and that the lots will provide enough room for a structure without the need for future variances. Attorney Dave Moran was present to respond to Council questions regarding the proposed Mississippi River Watershed Management Joint Powers Agreement. After discussion, Mayor Lockwood moved the adoption of Resolution No. 85-37, "RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LOWER MISSISSIPPE RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT." Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.

Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. The Council acknowledged and discussed a feasibility study on proposed Ivy Falls East Addition street improvements. As the result of the discussion, staff was directed to research and report on the desirability of constructing and assessing a street maintenance project. The Council acknowledged and discussed a proposed amendment to the housing element of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The proposed amendment was referred back to staff for revision. On the recommendation of the Park Commission, Council - member Blesener moved to appoint Carol Damberg to the unexpired Commission term vacated by Michael Williams. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. The Council expressed its appreciation for Mr. William's service on the Commission. Park Commission Member Bob Doffing, present for the appointment discussion, asked that staff be directed to research the possibility of providing a bike trail along Chippewa Avenue and to the Mendota Bridge along the proposed T.H. 110 service road. Staff was directed to pursue both recommendations. Councilmember Cummins moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 213, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1403," to incorporate "Special Sunday Liquor License" provisions in the liquor ordinance. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.

Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 10:55 P.M. Robert G. Lockwood• Mayor c Kathleen M.

KDF:madlr attachments CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fraze City Administrator SUBJECT: Lawn Care at Fire Station May 21, 1985 As is obvious, the new Fire Station will require a good deal of grounds maintenance that we were not concerned with at the old site. Consequently, we have no lawn care equipment, nor have manhours previously been directed to the task. After considering the alternatives, the Department has concluded that they would prefer to contract out the lawn care. The issue was discussed at the last general meeting, and they concluded that station and equipment mainten- ance were already taking up more than enough productive hours. They prefer to spend any additional time in training. Also, contracting out will eliminate the need for several thousand dollars of capital equipment. I concur with this recommendation. RECOMMENDED CONTRACTOR The Fire Officers have solicited quotes from several lawn care providers. I am meeting with them at 6:30 this evening to review the quotes and select one. I will have a verbal recommendation at the Council meeting. It is estimated that the annual cost will be approximately $1,200. BUDGET IMPACT As we did not start our new Fire Marshall until May 1st, adequate funds will be available in the Contractual Services line item of the Fire Department budget. ACTION REQUIRED Motion to approve hiring of the recommended contractor to provide lawn care service for the fire station.

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Robert G. Lockwood, Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAK'OTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ;RESOLUTION NO. 85 - RESOLUTION SETTING GUIDELINES FOR THE ISSUANCE OF TAX EXEMPT HOUSING MORTGAGE REVENUE BONDS WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, permits the issuance by the City of housing bonds to finance, in whole or in part, multi -family residential rental facilities, in cases where construction of such facilities will increase a community's tax base, and provide additional housing opportunities in the community; and WHEREAS, the City may incur costs and expenses in staff time and professional fees for5the review of the application and other information supplied by anapplicantrequesting the City to issue such bonds; and WHEREAS, persons and firms seek a general framework within which they may be guided in requesting such tax exempt financing. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights: The following guidelines are established relating to the accept- :; ance, consideration and approval of applications for tax exempt housing revenue bonds.to finance, in whole or in part, multi- family residential rental facilities, or other private purpose financing provided bythe City. However, applicants must understand that, notwithstanding observance of these guidelines, the City Council may, in its sole and absolute judgment and discretion, reject an,application or that the City Council may, in its sole and absolute judgment and discretion, approve an application notwithstanding that one or more guidelines have not been complied with. 1. The applicant will furnish evidence acceptable to the City as to the applicant's ability and resource capabilities=relating to the financial aspects of the project. 2. The City reserves the right to employ legal, account- ing, appraisal, financial and other consultants to review the proposed project and the financing therefor and the costs thereof shall be paid, together with administrative expense, by the applicant, whether or not the Cityagrees to issue housing mortgage revenue bonds for the project, whether or not such bonds are issued, and whether or not the project is built. -4 3. The applicant shall deposit $2,500.00 with the applica- tion and the City shall be entitled to use such funds for preliminary expenses in connection with the project and the applicant's request for housing mortgage revenue bonds. Any unexpended balance of such deposit shall be returned to the applicant if the issuance of such bonds or the project is aborted for any reason. If such bonds are issued by the City, the City will allow said expenses to become part of the cost to be financed by such bonds. 4. Depending on the facts, the City may require the applicant to establish and maintain a significant equity in the structure and to establish and maintain a reserve balance or deposit of securities with or for the benefit of the City or other credit enhancement (e.g., letter of credit, bond insurance) to protect against a default on such bonds. 5. The applicant will guarantee payment of the installments under the revenue agreement to be entered into in connec- tion with the issuance of such bonds, and such guaranty shall remain in effect for the term of the bonds. 6. The fair market rental value for general purposes (not solely for the applicant's purpose) must at least equal the annual amount of principal and interest due on the bonds to be issued. 7. The applicant shall require a payment and performance bond of the building contractors equal to 100% of the contract price. In the event the bond issue does not provide for 100% of the estimated construction costs and other costs to be incurred in connection with the issu- ance of such bonds, the applicant shall deposit with the bond trustee or private lender prior to the delivery of the bonds, a sum sufficient to assume payment of all costs of construction of the project and other costs associated with the issuance of such bonds. Any balance remaining on completion shall apply against future installments under the revenue agreement or be returned to the applicant. 8. It is hereby expressed that the City would prefer the applicant to use financing under the mortgage -note provisions of the law (i.e., a private placement). It shall be understood that in the event such bonds are issued pursuant to a public offering, the applicant and its bond underwriters shall hold harmless the City, its officers, consultants and agents for any alleged or actual violation of any securities laws, state or federal, in connection with the issuance of such bonds for the project. The City may require a surety bond to secure performance of this "hold harmless" provision. 9. In consideration of the City's acting as a financing conduit in the issuance of bonds, the applicant shall pay to the City from the bond proceeds a sum equal to the following schedule: 1% of the aggregate par value of such bonds up to and including $500,000.00; 1/2 of 1% over $500,000 on the next $2,000,000.00; 1/4 of 1% for the next amount over $7,500,000.00; 1/8 of 1% for any amount over $10,000,000.001. which shall be used by the City for furtherance of general community housing goals and policies, or to defray a portion of the cost of new or expanded City services created by the new housing. The City will • allow the applicant to pay or be reimbursed for such sum from the proceeds of such bonds. 10. The City reserves the right to deny, at its discretion, any application that may appear in conflict or contrary to the intent of M.S.A. 462C. The City's position is that no applicant has a right to have the City issue housing bonds or private purpose bonds, and in submitting such an application, the applicant recognizes and accepts that policy decision whether or not these guidelines are followed in other respects.

Firefighters responded to 174 calls this year and took part in almost 1500 hours of training without serious injury. PROPERTY DAMAGE Total property damage estimates for the year were set at $272,560. Of this amount, slightly over $252,000 was in Mendota Heights. The remaining $20,000 was attributed to a railroad caboose that burned in Mendota. NUMBER OF FIRE CALLS INCREASED For the third straight year we report an increase in the number of fire calls that the department responded to. In 1983 we reported an 18% increase in calls over 1982. In 1984, we report a 15% increase over 1983. TRENDS In past reports, under this heading, we have addressed "actual" and "false" fire calls. In 1981 we reported 47% of our calls as false. In 1982 the figure was 35.3%, and in 1983, it was 48.4%. In past years, false calls have been broken down into four classifications. The four classifications were: criminal intent calls, alarm malfunction -commercial, alarm malfunction -residential, and a catch-all classification of good intent calls. In previous reports, calls that did not meet criteria for an "actual" fire or the standards set for the first three classifications under the "false" heading were labeled as a "good intent" call. This meant that calls such as power lines down, anaccidental alarm trip, or a public assist were labeled as good intent. Calls such as these are not really good intent calls because, in most cases, our services are needed. In order to give us a more accurate measure of false alarms, we added a fifth classification that would pick up the calls mentioned above. This classification was labeled "other". By adding this fifth classification, we report that 35% of the calls answered by the fire department were false calls. Using the old method, we would have reported 48.3% of the calls as false. In other classifications, response to vehicle fires was up from 8.6% in 1983, to 12.1% in 1984. Vehicle accident calls (wash downs) were up from 3.3% in 1983, to 6.3% in 1984, and rescue calls were up from 3.3% in 1983, to 6.9% in 1984. Section 1, Page Two MANPOWER RESPONSE To monitor our manpower response we break down all of our calls into three classifications. The classifications are: weekday fires, weeknight fires, and weekend fires. Week night fires have never been much of a concern to us, but weekday and weekend fires have been monitored closely. In 1984 we report that we had an average of 10.57 men respond to weekday fires and 18.34 men.respond to weekend fires. Our records show that, on the average call, we have adequate manpower responding. RESPONSE TIME A quick and safe response to fire emergencies is very important. The sooner that fire suppression tactics can be started, the less serious the fire will be. This also holds true in other emergencies that the fire department is requested to respond to. In 1984 we report an average response time to all fires, in all areas, of 5.90 minutes. This response time represents the time period beginning when the dispatcher pages the initial alarm until the first piece of fire -apparatus reaches the scene. DEPARTMENT COMPLEMENT The fire department ended 1984 with 30 active members. We had two firefighters retire in 1984. They were Gene Lange and Paul Maczko. We also made two additions. They are Randy McNamara and our first female firefighter Mary Beth Neska. TRAINING The department continues to devote a lot of time to the training of our new and not so new firefighters. In 1984, almost 1500 manhours were devoted to in-house training. This is up nearly 50% over last year. With technology changing day by day, new dangers and new techniques in firefighting are resulting. To keep up with this pace, we find that we have to train more and more, in order to protect both our firefighters and the public. In addition to the in-house training., 15 fire- fighters completed the 72 hour Firefighter I course through the Dakota County Vo - tech. 23 men also completed a 40 hour First Responder course held at our station. EQUIPMENT The largest change in our department operation since 1960 came in 198. This change was due to the fact that in December we moved into our new fire station. This station was a much needed improvement in our operation. We now have adequate training facilities and equipment storage facilities to make the department more prepared than ever before. The new training room provides a better learning atmos- phere for the firefighter, and the beautiful building gives everyone something to be very, very proud of. Other purchases included equipping all firefighters with bunker pants. These pants, along with the nomex coats purchased seven years ago, and the carons, helmets purchased three years ago, provide our firefighters with the best equipment avail- able in personal safety. -.We also added 1100 feet of 111 inch hose and 1000 feet of 4 inch supply hose. The addition of this hose allowed us to replace old hose, increase the hose load on the fire apparatus and allowed us to have some reserve hose. Section 1, Page Three SYNOPSIS OF MAJOR CALLS Our first major fire of the year in the City was on January 19th at Gould Battery. A computer panel shorted out doing an estimated $4,000 damage. On July 17, at 3:00 A.M., the department was called to the Fotomark Inc., at 2411 Pilot Knob Road for a dumpster fire. When the first piece of apparatus arrived, they found the dumpster and the loading dock fully engulfed in flames. Damage was estimated at $7,000. On August 29th, the department was called to Econ -Placer at 2515 Northland Drive. Here a concrete pumping truck was found burning in the storage yard next to the building. There was no damage done to the building but the $150,000 pumping truck was destroyed. On the night of October 3rd, the fire department was called to 606 Valley Lane on a garage fire. Damage was set at $2,000. On November 13th, the department responded to the Highway 494/149 construction site to extinguish a fire in the engine of an earth mover. Damage was estimated at $18,000. The last major call of 1984 came on December 29th at 11:10 P.M. The department was called to the Dick Volkert residence at 2400 Dodd Road. When the first men arrived, they found that a second story bedroom was fully engulfed in flames. There was an initial report that someone may be inside, but after searching the house, the firefighters found no one home, except the family dog. Observations made by our first firefighters at the scene caused us to suspect arson. Later our suspicions were confirmed and at last report, three persons were being charged with arson. Damages were estimated at $35,000 to the structure and $10,000 in contents. The department responded to two mutual aid alarms. The first was to Inver Grove Heights, where Peabody's, (formerly Schlief's Little City) was totally destroyed. The second was to Eagan where an abandoned house was burned. Both incidents utilized our tanker. There were no major structure fires in Lilydale or Sunfish Lake. On June 18th, at 9:15 P.M., the department was called to a fire on the rail- road tracks in Mendota. The first arriving apparatus found a railroad caboose fully engulfed in flame. The caboose and a crane were stopped there for the night. Railroad officials estimated the loss at $20,000 and arson was suspected. SECTION 2 LOOKING FORWARD TO 1985 TRAINING The department will continue its two hour per month in-house training sessions. We also anticipate running some extra in-house training and cooperating in the April 20th air disaster. We will continue to send men to the Dakota County Vo -tech Firefighter I training and hope that by the end of the year, a Firefighter II class will begin. MANPOWER On January 1, 1985, our active membership numbered 30. We are expanding our efforts to secure four new members so that we may bring our membership up to; 34 members. EQUIPMENT The main capital outlay for 1985 will be the purchase of new radio equipment to replace our old, worn out equipment. A joint radio study is now going on with West St. Paul and we hope to have specifications for equipment by this fall.
