SUBJECT: Authorizatian for Change in Mileage Reimbursement Rate
The City's mileage reimbursement rate was 22G, unCil earlier this
year when the IRS issued regulatians that any payment in excess of 2q�C per
miie would be subject ta income tax reporting and withhalding. AC that tz.me,
the City acted to reduce the amount ta the 20�� per mile, to avoid a lot of
cumbersome paper work.
The iRS has now increased the allowable reimbursement rate Co 21� per mile.
I am recommendittg that we adapt that amount.

5UBJECT: League of Cities"Valuntary 'Assessment for TIF Lobbying Effort
The House Tax Committee plans to do an in-depth study of tax increment
financa.ng c3uring the I9$6 session, anii has directed the legislative auditor's
office to prepare a research document for a.ts cansideration. Larry, Ja.m and I
� recenC�.y spent the better parC of an�aiternoon with a representata.ve from Che
�' auditar's affice�describing aur tax increment district, and the uses to whi.ch
it has been put. .
As many of you are probably aware, the Citizen`s League issued a report
earlier this year which was quite critical of tax increment financing, and
recommended thaC the legislature phase it aut as an econamic devel.opment taol
in the State. Proponents of tax increment financing, inc2uding the League of
C3.ties/NAHRO have faulted some of the conclusions in the Citizen's League study,
and argued that cities are using TZF much more respoztsibly rhan has been
indicated by i�s critics.
y�.
Earlier this year, the League and NAHRO decided to undertake a special
S�u�y and lobbying effort to maintain the integrity of tax increment financing
in its existing form. As indicated in the attached ietter, a substantial amount
af research has gone into this effort, and the Joint Committee has retained the
'• firm of Iiolmes and Gravert ta carry out the lobbying effort. They are seeki,ng Co
f inance a portion oE this special effart by a"voluntar�'assessment on cit3.es
who use tax increment financing. Based an the value of our assessed valuation
within our tax increment dis�rict, and the assessed valuation within the entire
Czty, our assessment zs $523.26.
The City ttas previ.ously undertaken numeraus projects using the tax increment
district wYtich was created in 1979. Further, same af the most substanCial upcoming
development and redevelopmen� efforts in the City contemplate that tax increment
assisCance wilS be available. These a.nclude the York,ton Centre Poa.nte Sauth devalap-
rnent, the Garran office project at t�he north end of Pilot Knob Road, develapmen.t of
fihe MAC property along Pilot Knab Road, and redevelopment of the ald �ire station
and surrounding commercial area site. We have also talked abaut the possibility
ai creating a new tax increment district in the "Centrai Cotnmercial Area" ta help
pay for the cost of public irnprovemenCs, including extension of South Plaza
Drive as a local access road across TH 110. Obviously, if funds from tax a.ncrement
ti.nancing were na longer available, it woul.d be difficult to impassibl.e to complete
many af these projects. Therefore, I do strongly recommend that we participate in
the League/NAHRO efiort by paying our assessment.
BUDGET IMPACT
Z'he adopted 1985 budget includes an appropriation of �2,500 from the business

development fund. Revenues from this fund have been raised by the administrative
fee on industrial development bond issues. To date, the $2,500 remains untouched,
and I would recommend that we take the assessment from that line item.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, it should pass a motion
authorizing the payment of $523.26 to the Minnesota Cities/NAHRO tax increment
financing study and lobbying effort, with funds to be taken from the business
development budget.

SUBJECT: Trunk Highway 149 Traffic Problem
DISCUSSION:
At the November S, 1985 City Council meeting, Councilmember Blesener said
that she felt that since the latest I-494 opening�the traffic on Dodd Road south
of Trunk Highway 110 had become a serious problem. Council directed staff to
contact Mn/DOT to see if anything could be done.
I contacted Dick Elasky, Mn/DOT District 9 Planning and Traffic Engineer and
he stated that although he was aware that the traffic had increased substantially
since I-494 had been opened to Dodd Road, he felt that it was not unlike many
other similar trunk highways and was not a serious problem at this time. He said
that some motorists are probably now having to wait longer to enter podd Road and
feel inconvenienced, but that the inconvenience did not, at this time, merit
installing stop signs or signal lights at any new locations. He stated that his
traffic department was continuing to monitor the volume and problems on Dodd Road
and when conditions warrant further traffic controls they will be installed. He
was willing to study any specific concerns and/or suggested solutions if the
Council has some.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Discuss the traffic problem on Dodd Road and decide if Council wishes
pursue with Mn/DOT any further action.

SUBJECT: Roger Riley - Easement Vacation
DISCUSSION:
Roger Riley, 1403 Medora Road has petitioned the City to vacate a
street right-of-way that lies across his lot (see map). He lives in the Ivy
Falls West Addition which was approved in January 1977. At the time the
plat was approved, First Avenue right-of-way extended into newly created Lot
8, Block 2, of the plat but was not vacated. Mr. Riley constructed a new
� home on the lot and a portion of his house extended over the right-of-way.
Mr. Riley is now in the process of selling his home and the lending institu-
tion of the buyer noticed the encroachment. They will not close on the home
until the portion of the right-of-way within the home is vacated. The City
has sanitary sewer line that needs to remain within an easement however the
existing right-of-way size is much larger than the City's normal sewer
e aseme nts .
RECOMMENDATION:
�.: Mr. Riley has signed a new utility easement for the City sanitary sewer
therefore staff recommends that the First Avenue right-of-way be vacated.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Conduct the required public hearing considering the requested street
' and vacation and if Council desires to implement the staff recommendation
they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 85- , RESOLUTION

T0: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Tandem - Park Dedication Proposal
DISCUSSION:
At the last Park and Recreation Commission meeting, Dick Putnam of
Tandem Corporation presented the details of his new 55 lot subdivision. He
described a proposal for a park dedication that included some land, a trail
system and a scenic easement along a pond. The Commission tabled the matter
until Barry Warner the Park Consultant could review the request and make a
recommendation. Since that meeting, Barry Warner, Al Singer and I have
conducted a site visit of the land with the developer and Jim Malkowski of
the Dodge Nature Center. After viewing the land we all feel that it is a
very valuable open space area and that the City should accept it as park.
We also feel that th'�r.e��•should be a trail through the park to guide people
and that the trail should be constructed of a gravel surface. If it is of
gravel as opposed to bituminous, it would help maintain a more natural
setting and discourage use as a thoroughfare trail (I have attached a copy
of the plan that illustrates the land and trail location).
During our site visit we also viewed the scenic easement area (see map)
It was everyone's feeling that a scenic easement should be provided. The
general boundary limits of the easement and rules to be incorporated within
the easements were discussed. I have attached a draf t copy of the scenic
easement rules for your review and comment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept Tandem's park dedication proposal for land (10% of.the area)
trail construction and scenic easement area.
ACTION REQUIRED•
Make a recommendation to the City Council.

FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Tandem - Park Dedication
DISCUSSION:
The matter of park dedication for the Tandem subdivision was presented
to the Park and Recreation Commission for a recommendation at their November
meeting (see attached staff report). The Park and Recreation Commission
agreed with the staff recommendation to accept Tandem's park dedication
proposal.
Tandem is wanting to finish their final plat as soon as possible so
that they can begin construction of the models. They need to know what the
City desires for park dedication so that it can be shown on the final plat.
RECOMMENDATION :
The Park and Recreation Commission and staff recommend that the City
accept the 4+ acres of land, trail construction and scenic easement as their
park dedication for their Copperfield subdivision.
ACTION REQUIRED•
If Council wishes to implement the Park and Recreation Commission and
staff recommendation they should pass a motion accepting the park
dedication.
P.S. At its meeting of November 12, the Parks Commission did recommend five
changes to the attached scenic easment:
1. #4 - There should be no storage of a� materials in the easement.
2. #5 - Topographic changes only by Council authorization.
3. #6 - Prohibit mowing vegetation.
4. The easement should be reflected in the legal description for each
affected lot.

SUBJECT: Footing/Foundation Permit for Alpha Environment of Minnesota
INTRODUCTION
Mr. Blaine Heywood of David Todd Runyan and Associates Architects, Inc.,
has been meeting with staff and has sent a letter of request for Council
� approval of a footing/foundation permit. Accompanying the letter of request
are a site plan, building plan, building elevation, grading and utility plan,
landscape plan and footing and foundation plans.
DISCUSSION
The Alpha Environment of P1innesota project is nroposed to be constructed
on the property west of the existing Gould site located at Lexington and
Highway 110. The project will contain 65,652 square feet of building area
divided into lower level containing 13,293 square feet, ground level containing
37,477 square feet and the upper level containing 14,882 square feet.
(See drawings submitted)
In addition to the request for a footing and foundation permit they would
also like to acquire Council approval on the full building permit subject to
staff review. This request is similar to the requests granted to builders
=`�: in the Industrial Park•�uchas Ralph Linvill and United Properties.
a�
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the documents submitted and find them to be in compliance
with State and local codes and ordinances, therefore; staff recommends that
Council approve the footing/foundation permit.and full building permit subject
to staff review. The only item that needs to be acquired by the City is the
si.gned developer's agreement. Once we have that signed agreement in our
possession, staff, with Council approval, would issue all requested permits
for the project.
ACTION REQUIRED
If City Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation to approve
requested permits, subject to receipt of the�signed developer's agreement, it
should pass a mot'ion of approval.

FROM. Larry Shaughnessy �
Treasurer
SUBJECT: Petty Cash Fund Increase
INTRODUCTION
In 1980, the City established a petty cash fund to try and reduce the
number of small claims andJreduce paperwork in payment of reimbursements.
� The system has worked as planned, however, we are finding the $10.00
limitation to be too small to cover many of the eligible items.
We suggest that the payment limit be increased to $25.00 per item, with
a corresponding increase in the fund to $500.00. We have discussed this with
our Auditor, and they feel the increased figure is not out of line with the
size of the City and the amount of activity.
Payment shall be approved on the same basis with approval by Kathy and
payment by Mary Ann.
ACTION REQUIRED: �
If Council agrees with the change, adopt Resolution No. 85- RESOLUTION
INCREASING IMPREST CASH FUND, to authorize increased limits and fund size.

City Ad stf~�tor
StiBJECT: Proposed Resolution Concerning Locatian of Future Dakota County Facilities
Dakota County anticipates up to $35 millian af capitaZ impravements
over the next 1Q years. Most immediately, they are planning the construction
oi a$9 -$10 millian jail f acility. They further expect that the County will.
require 14 new court rooms during the next 10 years, and they would like to
reconsalidate their court facilities which are naw spread between the caurt
house in Hastings and the western court facility in southwestern Eagan.
Cantemplated eonstructzan of these capital improvements has given
rise to the question of where they shonl"d be located. Past expectation,s were
that they would be constructed near the Gavernment Center in iiastings. There
is also statutoxy language that suggests the jail must be in the county seat.
Hawever, as we are all quite aware, the gopulatian center af Dakota County is
in the northwestern sectar, and with the opening of all the new freeways, that
area is expected to continue to receive the vast majority of the population
grawth in the Coun'ty. Therefare, we are faced with a situation where county
faciliGies are at a location quite remate from where the population center is
taday, and is projec�ed to be in the future.
Severai County Commissioners have raised the questian of locating
these facilities nearer the population center, which woulii be appraximately in
the Rasemount area. Attached is a map which has been prepared by the County
Planning Department showing Coun'ty facilities, and the popula�ion centers.
Needless-to-say, this proposal is meeting with a great deal of resistance from
the Ci�y of Hastings and �he Hastings busi.ness community. The Commissioners
f eel that unless there is a s�rong show of suppoart �rom other parts of the County,
it will be difficult to impossible to build these facilities anywhere other than
Hastings.
This topic was the subject of our Mapor/Manager breakfast Zast week,
when we met with Commissianer Steve Loeding. Most of the nine-member cities in
our'graup'seem to be canvinced of the benefit of maving the facilities iurther
to the west, and agreed that they raould be presenting resalutions to their Counc3.lr
for cons�deration. '
ACTI4N REQUIRED
If Council concurs that it would be to our interest to see some of
these facilities moved further to the west, it shauld adopt the atCached
Resolution No. 85- "RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE LOCATION OF AAKOTA CQUNTY FACILITIES
NEARER TAE POPULATION CENTER", directing that it be sent to the Dakata Caunty
Commissioners and to our legislative delegation.

3. Description of Proposed Project
The project, commonly referred to as the Southeast Area Study, is to
revise the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation for approximately 600 acres
in southeastern Mendota Heights. The property is currently designated and zoned
for single-family and rural residential useage. Reconsideration of this desig-
nation was prompted by the imminent completion of I-494, which is the southern
boundary of the study area, and by the continuing impact of aircraft no�Se from
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
The revisions to our Comprehensive Plan are being carried out by contract
to the planning firm of Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban, Inc. A copy of their
contract with the City, which details the specific work product, is attached.
4. Relationship of Proposed Project to Funding Criteria
As discussed above, the project was initiated because of the perceived
inconsistency of single-tamily and rural residential use with nearby interstate
freeways, and aircraft noise. More particularly, the Southeast Area study
considers in part, the Guidelines for Land Use Compatability with Aircraft Noise,
an amendment to the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide, adopted
by the Metropolitan Council on March 24, 1983.
5. Work Program
Please see the attached contract between the City of Mendota Heights and
Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban, Inc.
Progress to Date
Phase I of the project as described in the attached contract has been
completed. The Local Planning Assistance Loan is requested to enable the City
to complete the implementation stage, Phase II.
Project Cost, Other Financial Assistance, and Loan Request
As delineated in the attached contract, total project cost is $22,500;
$8,500 for Phase I, and $14,000 for Phase II.
Phase I changes have already been paid by the City from funds currently
available. We request $14,000 from the Loan Fund to complete Phase II, $7,000
by December 31, 1985, and the remaining $7,000 by February 28, 1986.
Repayment of Loan
The City would be able to repay the loan in two equal installments of
$7,000 each, one in December, 1986, and the other in December, 1987.

The contract with Barton-Aschman stipulates that any meetings beyond the
original four will be billed an a.time and expense basis, as incurred by the
Consultant. Attached is a letter from Seniar Assaciate Barry Warner, proposing
an additional meeting and an amount not to exceed $740. This expense would be

SUBJECT: False Alarm Ordinance
I NTRODUCT I ON
It is proposed that the attached ordinance be adopted by the City Council.
Hopefuily, councii has had an opportunity to review the proposed ordinance.
it has been reviewed by the fire department and their suggestions were
incorporated into the final product. The City of Lilydale is also anxious to
�r::i adopt the same dacument for use in their city.
DISCUSSION
False alarms continue to be an expensive and time consuming problem for
the public safety services. We have gone from 570 false police alarms in
1983 to an estimated 650 in 1985 and our continuous efforts to convince
users to be more conscientious have not had a significant impact on the
., problem. False alarms deprive citizens of their right to a certain level of
police and fire,service as time and manpower are monopolized in areas
where and when it is not needed. In the ordinance we take the very simpie
attitude that extra service recieved by senders of false alarms wili
require extra fees paid by those alarm owners. A larger penalty is charged
� for fire alarms because of the number of responders and eqipment
involved. The police false alarms will increase with the number of false
alarms, and in both cases, the first 3 false alarms will result in only
. warning the person involved. In an effort to make the ordinance as,simple
and manageabie as possible it does not require licensing of alarm systems,
alarm companies or alarm installers.
ALTERNATI VES
Pass the proposed ordinance or continue to attempt to stem the growing
problem through other, less punitive means.
RECOMMENDATION
That council approve the attached fatse alarm ordinance effective January
t , 1986.

Attached is a memorandum from P.olice Chief Dennis Delmont, requesting a
two week, paid leave to assist the American Red Cross in its relief efforts
for flooding in Virginia and�West Vi�rginia. As I think most of you are aware,
Dennis has put a lot of time and effort into emergency preparedness and disaster

:y: the aircraft disaster drill we had last spring, and working with Dakota County
... and the Red Cross to prepare for other disaster scenarios in the area. I can
. not think of a better way for�him ta accentuate his training so far than to
participate in an actual disaster relief effort. Therefore, I recommend that

Director of Emergency Preparedness
SUB.JECT: Request for Assistance by The American Red Cross
lNTRpDUCTlON
The Disaster Services Sectian 4f the American Red Cross has asked if !
would be available tn spend iwo weeks in the ilood stricken areas of
Virginia and Wes�. Virginia assisting in mass feeding, she)ter management,
and victim interviewing. .
HI STORY
The American Red Cross has fie}d staff warking to mitigate disasters in
the New Orleanslgulf coast area, the eastern seab�ard and now Cvl�mbia.
Their manpower is becoming depleted and there is very littie relief
available. They are now asking selected people to vaiunteer. Because of my
work with the ARC in the disaster preparedness area, they have asked if I
wQuld be availble. Their greatest need is far short term relief in the
flooded areas of Virginia and West Virginia. The work would include
shetter management, mass feeding, victim fnterviewing and damage
assessment and would involve a commitment of approximateiy i 2- i 4
hours a day for a maximum of 2 weeks. 1 wouid take part in an intensive
block of training and orientation that.would be done on my own time prior
t4 departure on Friday, NQvember 23rd, All travel, lodging and food would
be pravided by the ARC.
QiSCUSSiQN
There is a good passibiiity that the effarts in the guif caast wiii be
completed soon, and those workers will be availabie for use in the other
areas, In that case volunteers would not be needed. In the event that more
assistance is needed, I would very much like to go. 1 believe that actually
being invoived in a disaster situati�n wvuld be an invaluable learning
opportunity and wauld greatiy enhance my ability to effectively operate in
the capacity of Emergency Preparedness Director if we should encounter a
local emergency. I would also be providing a valuable service ta a
wQrthwile org�nization. The only cost to the City would be my salary
during the two weeks. I only have two week� Qf vacation per year so l
cannat absorb the time myself.
ACT10N REOUIRED
That you approve my participat�ion for a maximum of kwa weeks, if needed.

SUBJECT: Yorkton Developer's Agreement •
Attached is a copy of a proposed Developer's Agreement, which was drawn
up by Public Works Director Jim Danielson for the Yorkton development. As I
am meeting with developer Larry Lee at 2:00 P.M. this afternoon, November 15th,
it is uncertain at this time whether the final Developer's Agreement will be
identical. An amended agreement will be provided to Council Tuesday evening.
I
The major issue in the Agreement which Mr. Lee and I will be discussing is
Item 5, the Park Contribution.� Since it has been some time since Mendota Heights
has had a subdivision of industrial property, we have no precedent for a park
dedication fee. While City ordinances require a 107 land or cash equivalent
dedication from any development, that tends to be quite excessive on industrial
property, both from the standpoint of the much higher value of the land, and
because it is harder to justify a link between industrial development and demand
on the City's park system. j
At it's October meeting, the Parks Commission considered this issue, and
voted to recommend a 5� park dedication requirement for the Yorkton development.
This was based on a survey (copy attached) done as`a part of our master park study,
and was endorsed by our Parks Planner as being a realistic figure. While Mr. Lee
has generally agreed to this amount, he has indicated a desire to negotiate the
terms of how and when the amount of money will be paid out. These issues will
be addressed in the amended agreement to be provided Tuesday evening.

Mendota Heights will proceed as expeditiously as possible with
hearings and such additional proceedings as may be required to
cause public improvements to be installed. It is recognized that
the Developer's plat is not the only property to be served by this

discretion of the City and at no expense to the City. Any damage

STEVENTOUREK Dear Dick:
WILLIAM WARD,JR,
WILLIAM WEST As we discussed at our recent meeting, the Building &
Grounds Committee of the Dodge Nature Center met on November 11,
1985, and considered, among other matters, the various Tandem
proposals for the property contiguous to the south border
of the DNC - Lilly property.

JAMES M. MALKOWSKI
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Herewith is the concensus of the Building & Grounds Committee
on the following:
1. We are opposed to any extension of the western-most cul-
de-sac or any part thereof onto DNC land. We suggest
that the cul-de-sac dead-end at the lot line.
2. The sketches labelled A, B, & C, showing possible
development of roads and building sites in varying
degrees on DNC land is not permissable due to deed
restrictior�s. -
3. The NSP easement and the exact location of the lot
lines must be established and shown on the maps.
4. We express our committee's concern over the proposed
density in this and future phases of the development.
This concern will be referred to the fiall DNC Board
for their action and/or reaction at their next meeting.
Mr. Dick Putnam
S•','� Tandem Corporation

As we discussed, our concerns for the DNC property are with
the availability of.water, reasoriabl.e access possibilities for
the DNC western area,-and a roadj.driveway access to the cabin
on the eastern area of our'property. Our f.urttier concerns and
recommendations relative to your area south of Huber Drive, i.e.
park area and scenic easements, were covered at our recent meeting.
We will appreciate it if you will keep us advised on your
progress.

James Losleben, 815 Hazel Court, asked why the agenda
has been changed to include the Mendota Heights
Associates proposal.
Councilmember Hartmann stated that the developer has
requested consideration o£ a single, �10 million
revenue bond issue for 150 units. He stated thet he
voted no on the November 5th request for two S10
million issues for 300 units because it did not
meet the comprehensive plan amendments. Councilmemb�r
Hartmann informed the audience that the developer had
contacted him to request reconsideration and that he
feela that if the developer can meet the Comprehensive
Plan requirements, the City would have something to
gain by reconsideration.
Bernard Friel, 750 Mohican, submitted an additional
petition opposing southeast erea zoning'changes an�
stated that opposition to the Riley pro�ect is
implicit. He informed Council that the total number
of people who have signed the petition is ebout 800,
approximetely 10% of the community'a residents. He
l'
�

stated thet he is outraged that the matter has been
placed on the agenda at such a late time and most
outraged that the principal opponent on the Council,
Councilmember Cummins, is not present to participate.
He pointed out that at a meeting four weeks ago
discussion on the matter had been delayed until the
Mayor arrived to participate. He stated that the
scope of the pro�ect had changed, suggested that
Council is avoiding the public hearing process in the
manner in which this is done, and stated that statute
requires that i£ there is a material change a re-
hearing must be conducted. Mr. Friel stated that the
proposal was changed to 300 units last meeting and w�
defeated on a 3-2 vote and now the proposal is for 15
units, which is not what the public hearing was held
on. He felt the Council is not giving Councilmember
Cummins an opportunity to be heard and that he
represents a large number of the residents.
Mayor Lockwood responded that the discussion on the
comprehensive plan amendments had not been delayed et
his request and that in fact he had suggested that tr�
discussion proceed without him.
ABATEMENTS Assistant Co. Assessor Peterson wa�resent to review and
request approval of abatements for two properties.
; '>:
After discussion, Councilmember Witt moved approval o
an abatement to Nicholas & D.A. Bockwinkel for Parcel
No. 27-19850-020-07, reducing the market value £rom
5155,200 to 5137,200 for taxes payable 1985 and to th
estate of Albert J. Meyer £or Parcel No. 27-02600-080
SO, reducing the market vslue from 541,500 to 520,00�
for taxes payable 1985.

FALSE ALARM ORDINANCE Police Chief Delmont reviewed his memo end proposed
false alarm ordinance, informing Council that there
have been in excess o£ 580 false alarms in 1985 and
that about 85% o£ all such alarms are due to errors b
� slarm users. He stated that he feels it necessary to
' impose a charge for false alarms: continuous efforts
to convince uaers to be more conscientious have had o
little impact on the problem and false elarms are bot;
expensive and time consuming for both the police and
£ire departments. He reviewed the proposed penaltie�.
for false alarms in excess of three per year, answerc�
Council questions and recommended ordinance adoption.

CASE NO. 85-29, Mr. Jim Griggs, from Leroy Sign Company, was present
LINVILL on behalf of Mr. Ralph Linvill to'request a variance
from the sign setback requirement at 2401 Pilot Kn
Road, Dakota Business Plaza. Mr. Griggs stated th
although the Planning Commission recommended approval
o£ a 12 £oot setback, the applicant is requesting a
"zero" setback. He informed the Council that the City
C
�
Ayes: 4
Nays: O
Page No. 2404
November 19, 1985
acquired a seventeen foot right-o£-way easement from
Mr. Linvill for potential Pilot Knob Road widening
and approval o£ the vsrisnce would allow placement o£
the sign at the new property line. He stated that
placement of the sign at the recommended 12 foot
setback from the new property line would disturb
plantings which have already been placed and would
bring the sign so far back that it might impede visior
o£ drivers leaving the facility's parking lot. He
informed Council that i£ the zero setback is approved,
Mr. Linvill will agree to move the sign at his own
expense at such time as the street is widened.
After discussion, Councilmember Blesener moved
approval o£ a 28 foot sign setback variance to allow
location of the proposed sign twelve feet from the
property line.
Councilmember Witt seconded the motion.
MENDOTA HEIGHTS Councilmember Hartmann stated that he will move to
ASSOCIATES REVENUE reconsider the Mendota Heights Associates housing
BONDS revenue bonds because that would be the only way
Council could consider the proposal for S10 million o:
financing £or 150 units. He pointed out a motion for
,-•.� preliminary approval of �10 million in housing bonds
was made at the last meeting in October but that the
motion was withdrawn.
Councilmember Blesener was opposed to reconsideration
end felt the issue should come before Council again.
She pointed out that at the last meeting Council took
action to deny housing bonds and stated that she
believes Council should stand behind that decision.
She felt that the fact that Mr. Riley left the
Council chambers when the motion for s10 million was
made and stated thet he could not live with that
amount of financing and now comes back asking for that
same amount speaks poorly of his credibility. She
stated that she had made the motion £or approval in
October but that she could not support such a
motion now given Mr. Riley's stetement plus the
public opposition and petitions along with the recent
action on comprehensive plan amendments.
Councilmember Witt stated that Councilmember Blesener
had made many good points but indicated that even
though Council has considered the financing issue
several times, she would be willing to listen to
comments from both the public and the developer and
asked the City Attorney for his opinion on bringing
the matter before the Council again. She also pointec
s:::.�

out that the request is only for preliminary approvai.
and the City Council could state that it has no
obligation £or further approval and that the develope
must meet all Council requirements or there would be
no finel approval.
City Attorney Tom Hart stated that he sees no problem
with Council taking action to reconsider: the public
hearing was held for four separate issues for S10
million each and 150 units £or each issue. He noted
that the motion in October for.preliminary approval o
S10 million was appropriate at that time and would no
be inappropriste now.
Councilmember Blesener felt that reconsideration
should not be made this evening given the absence of
one of the Council members.
Mayor Lockwood expressed his agreement but pointed ou
that Councilmember Cummins' position is known to the
Council, and that even if Council voted to reconsider
and to grant preliminary approval Councilmember
Cummins will be given ample opportunity at the nex*
meeting to express his comments.
Councilmember Hartmann moved reconsideration o£ the
Mendota Heights Associates preliminary housing revenu
bond application.
Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion.
Councilmember Hartmann indicated that he would make
motion to give preliminary appr.oval to S10 million
in financing with the proviso tht the development
meets the recently implemented comprehensive plan
amendments.
In response to a question from Council, Attorney Hart
stated that if such a motion is made it should
specify that the City has the discretion to not issue
the bonds at all and absolute discretion and freedom
to require changes in the development plan for any
reason whatever and that there will be no cost to the
City by the Developer if the final bonding request is
not approved.
Mayor Lockwood stated that as part of the metropolite
area, Mendota Heights has certain obligations it must
meet and that one of those obligations is to prov' .
£air share of low to middle income housing. He s, e�
that he does not feel that 150 units of additional
apartment units in Mendote Heights, located on the
land south of Mendota Heights Road, would adversely
�
C
�
Pege No. 2406
November 19, 1985
affect the health and wel£are, living standards or
traf£ic volumes of the community. He felt that there
ere many homeowners in the City who will someday want
to sell their homes and move into condomonium or
apartment housing in the City. He felt that this is
an opportunity £or the City to get rensonably high
quality apartments end stated that the only reason he
would support a motion for preliminary approval of S1G
million in financing is to give the developer a chance
to prove he can produce a-high quality pro�ect with
the help o£ ttre current type of housing £inancing
rather than under new IRS rulings in 1986. He informed
the Council and sudience that Mr. Riley has informed
him that if the preliminary application is denied he
will be back in 1986 anyway.
Councilmember Blesener stated thnt part of her
deliberations on the comprehensive plan amendments
included the comments expressed by the Mayor. She
stated that the issue being discussed is financing anc
she does not agree with the quality argument: she felt
that the 1986 IRS changes may better meet low and
moderate income provisions. She felt that the
developer should consider bringing in a development
plan which Council can get excited about and then ask
£or housing bond financing.
Administrator Frazell informed the Council on the
Metropolitan Council's guidelines on the City's fair
share of low and moderate income housing units and
stated that the City needa a policy which will ahow
good faith in meeting those requirements.
In response to a question £rom Mayor Lockwood, Mr.
Riley stated that it is true that the financing before
January lst is much more favorable than it will be in
1986 and that would enable him to provide e much
better pro�ect_
Mr. Wally Parkins, representing Mr. Riley's bond
consultants, reviewed the proposed 1986 IRS bonding
regulations including the family income levels and
housing unit set-asides which would be required under
the proposed new regulations.
Mr. Riley stated thet he owns seventy acres of land
end pointed out that while he interprets the
comprehensive plen amendments to allow SOO units on
the land, he is asking for only 150 units at this
time. He felt that hia proposal is the best use for
the land and stated that even if preliminary financinq
epproval is denied this evening, he will puraue
development.

In response to comments from James Losleben regarding
future perk facility location, Councilmember Witt
sta,ted i£ the park consultant determinea that the
school district property should not be acquired for
park purposea it would be developed as single family
residential becauae the comprehensive plan amendments
require single family development north o£ Mendota
Heights Road; and, i£ it is determined that a park
should be located on a portion of the Riley property,
the City could require a land dedication.
Mayor Lockwood, also responding to Mr. Losleben,
steted that single £amily zoning has been�atop-gap
zoning in this area: R-1 zoning has been allowed to
continue ed�acent to T.H. 55 and I-494 pending strong
proposals to change the zoning because the property i�•
under airport noise zones. He informed the sudience
that the City is strongly advised under the
Metropolitan Housing Guide not to place single family
development in such noise zones.
Mr. Bernard Friel commented on the park site locat�nn,
bonding regulation changes and the Mayor's remark: �
zoning.
In response to comments and requests from members of
the audience who £elt that there is a community-wide
need for information on the proposal, the Council
directed the City Administrator to prepare a
statement, to be published in the City's newsletter,
detailing chronolical events relating to the proposec
pro�ect and factors which influence the site.
Councilmember Hartmann moved adoption of Resolution
No. 85-90, "A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A PROGRAM AND GIVING
PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A PROJECT AND ITS FINANCING,
UNDER MINNESOTA STATUTES, CHAPTER 462C AND AUTHORIZIN;:
SUBMISSION OF THE PROGRAM TO THE MINNESOTA HOUSING

that the City Council may determine not to give final

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
November 19, 1985
T0: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator
FROM: Kevin D. Frazell
City Administrator
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Comments for Mall of America
Summary of Findin�s of the Metropolitan Significance Review Report of the
Metropolitan Council
Following is a brief synopsis of the major findings of the report that
might be of concern to Mendota Heights:
1. The project is inconsistent with existing regional plans for the
extension or expansion of inetropolitan system.
2. There is no substantial impact on the regional sewer system.
3. The Mall of America, coupled with remaining development in the
Airport South Area, will have substantial traffic impacts and
require sizeable upgrades to Cedar Avenue and I-494. Cost esti-
mates for all involved improvements exceed $300M, would require "a
substantial reordering of regional and even state priorities."
The Council report is skeptical of developer claims that new tax
revenue from the project will be sufficient to meet these costs.
I-494 eastbound will be congested only to Trunk Highway 5. How-
ever, the report adds that congestion in the year 2000 and beyond
from Airport South could constrain development in nearby cities,
including Eagan (and I would think by implication, Mendota
Heights).
4. The airport and existing flights can accommodate any new passen-
gers. There should be no increase in air traffic.
S. Most new jobs generated at the Mall and Fantasyworld like likely
to be of the low-paying service and retail types. Therefore,
surrounding communities, including Mendota Heights, should address
the provision of more housing opportunities for lower cost
housing.
6. While the developer's contend new tourism will spark substantial
growth in spending and employment, a consultant's report to the
Met Council (Harrison Price, Company) counters that the project
3
�
<1
will not bring new tourists into the State. However, the mall can
capture its projected receipts from a share of the regional retail
growth, without adversely affecting existing retail centers.
7. Estimates of new permanent jobs range from 0 to 9,803 to 27,370,
depending on assumption about new tourism.
8. New taxes, after construction, are estimated at $91 by the de-
veloper, to $34 million under a reduced scenario.
9. A Minneapolis convention center is projected to have operating
losses of $10,000,000 over 10 years. If two facilities are built,
the 10 year deficit projection is $66,000,000 to $161,000,000.
10. A fiscal disparities exemption, as requested by Bloomington, would
cost a$80M loss in shared tax base, and $2.2 more from State
coffers for state aids.
REPORT RECOMMENDATION:
The report concludes that to eliminate adverse impacts on other local
government units, the developer's proposal should be modified to:
1. Eliminate the convention center.
2. Not seek exemption from fiscal disparities.
The report does find the proposed project to be of inetropolitan signi_
ficance but does not recommend that the Council invoke the power of suspen-
sion. It further recommends that regional system plans be amended to accom-
modate the development, and that new funding sources be found for highway
improvements. It also suggests that land uses and traffic management tech-
niques be employed in the Airport Southarea so that I-494 can be adequate as
a 8-lane freeway.
Finally, the report recommends that the Council support development of
only one convention center, to be located in downtown Minneapolis, and
opposes any exemption to the fiscal disparities.
ACTION REQUIRED:
To adopt any comments Council may wish to place in the public hearing
record. As it appears the hearing is expected to go on for days, I would
suggest written comments.

EXHIBIT A
PROGRAM FOR A MULTIFAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
UNDER CHAPTER 462C
MH I, MH II, MH III AND MH IV APARTMENTS PROJECT
Section l. Statutory AuthoritY. Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 462C (the "Act"), the City of Mendota
Heights (the "City") has been authorized to develop and
administer programs of multifamily housing developments
under the circumstances and within the limitations set forth
in the Act. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462C.07 provides
that such programs for multifamily housing developments may
be financed by revenue bonds issued by the City.
Section 2. The Program. The City has received a pro-
posal from MH I, MH II, MH III, MH IV, all Minnesota part-
nerships to be formed in which Mendota Heights Associates, a
Minnesota general partnership or another partnership of
which Mendota Heights Associates is a general partner, will
be a partner (the "Developers") that, pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 462C.05, subdivision 2, the City approve a
program providing for the acquisition of land and constru -
tion of approximately five hundred and ninety-two -�592)
units of rental housing (the "Housing Units") on a 69. cre
site, to be constructed in four phases of one hun red and
forty-eight (148) units each. The first phase will be owned
and operated by MH I partnership, the se ond b� MH II part-
nP�s��r,� .� �kLLim�.by MH III partnership, and the fourth by
Mu rv ����p., The proposed project will be located on
part of the South 1815.00 feet of the Southeast 1/4 of Sec-
tion 36, Township 28, Range 23, and the part of the East 1/2
of the Southwest 1/4 of South 26, Township 28, Range 23.
More particularly this Project will be located on the south
side of Mendota Heights Road between Dodd Road and Delaware
in the City. The proposed development is expected to con-
sist of more than one building. It is expected that�each
phase. o�7the development will contain 72 one-bedroom units
of w�s.i.x�l,n�ts will be eQui,�,�ed_for �..ndica „ped, and
76 two-bedroom units. Approximate initial rentals for the
ousing Units are expected to range from $455 to $660 per
month for one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Rentals vary
depending on the location of the Unit within the building
and the number of bathroom facilities within the Unit. It
is contemplated that all Housing Units will be in compliance
with all applicable zoning ordinances and other applicable
land use regulations, including any urban renewal plan or
development district plan, and including the state building
�.1
code as set forth under Minnesota Statutes, Section 16.83,
et. seq.
Section 3. Income Limits. To the extent necessary to
further the policy of economic integration the Housing Units
will be designed to be affordable by persons and families
with adjusted gross income not in excess of the limits set
forth in Minnesota Statutes Section 462C.03, subdivision
2. Twenty percent (20�) of the 592 Housing Units will be
specifically reserved for tenants whose incomes are not
greater than eighty percent (80�) of the median family in-
come estimated by the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development for the Minneapolis-St. Paul standard
metropolitan statistical area.
Section 4. Need for the Program; How the Program Meets
the Needs of Low and Moderate Income Families. In estab-
lishing this multifamily housing program (the "Program"),
the City has considered the goals and information contained
in the City's Chapter 462(c) Housing Plan adopted on October
19, 1982 (the "Housing Plan"). The City has housing needs
in terms of additional affordable, safe and sanitary housing
as reflected in data available to the City and contained in
part in the Plan. Consistent with the local housing needs
evidenced in this Program, the proposed Project will enable
the City to meet its housing goals by (i) providing addi-
tional affordable housing with rents, amenities, construc-
tion and location not otherwise available to the same extent
and land use; (ii) encouraging low income housing throughout
the City; and (iii) providing an alternative to single
family home ownership for those persons who are working or
will work in the various existing and future businesses in
the area. The City has further considered other factors
such as (i) the availability and affordability of other
government housing programs; (ii) the availability and
affordability of private market financing for the construc-
tion of multifamily housing units; (iii) the recent housing
trends and future housing needs of the City; and (iv)
population and unemployment trends and projections of future
population trends and future employment needs. Based on a
review of the foregoing, the City has concluded that there
is a need for the Program to help diversify housing options
in the City and to provide affordable housing to complement
expanding employment opportunities within the City. The
City additionally concludes that the Program is needed to
and will further the statewide housing policy of encouraging
private industry to assist in providing decent, safe and
sanitary rental housing at affordable rentals to (i) the
handicapped, (ii) minorities, (iii) households headed by
women and (iv) households with low and moderate income. The
Program meets the needs low and moderate income �amilies by
providing a variety of Housing Unit types and designs, some

rentals. The Program also is also subject to the require-
ments of Section 3 hereof. �o
Section S. Method of Fi„ cin . The City expects to

housing revenue bonds (the "B� ds") and loan the proceeds to
the Developers for the purpose of providing construction and
long-term financing for the Project and related reserve
funding and administrative and bond issuance costs. It is
expected that the Bonds will be issued in four series of
approximately $10,000,000 each to finance each phase of the
development as herein set forth. The Bonds will be issued
upon such terms and conditions as set forth herein and as
may be agreed upon in writing between the City, the original
purchaser of the Bonds and the Developers.
It is contemplated that the Bonds shall contain a
maturity of approximately twenty-three (23) years. All four
series of Bonds are expected to be issued within twelve (12)
months after adoption of this Program. A public offering of
the Bonds is contemplated, which said Bonds may be addi-
tionally secured in a manner approved by the City and
original purchaser(s).
Insofar as the City will or may be contracting with
underwriters, legal counsel, bond counsel, a trustee, and
others, all of whom will be reimbursed from Bond proceeds
and revenues generated by the Program, no administrative
costs will be paid from the City's budget with respect to
