State Aid Streets ' � ' '
BTS&C Project No. b033
Dear Orvil: ^ `
In the course of reviewing the Annual Certification of Mileage Documents for sub-
mission to the State Aid Section of the Minnesota Highway Department we find that
on the basis of allowable state aid mileage, as agains�t the mileage now designated
State Aid, it appears that there is a total of 2.31 miles which could yet be de-'
signated for State Aid construction. This means that if designation can be accomp-
lished, Mendota Heights needs will be increased considerably as will the resultant
annual allotment. � �� � � _
� � ' • », '
One of the problems in designating state aid,streets concerns specific requirements
which must be met. Because Mendota Heights is divided by a number•of major thorough-
fares, it is difficult to readily assign some of the Village streets to this,state
aid catagory. _ � � ;, ,
� . .
�..
One conside"rat�ion which may"be -looked into is the possibilitY that the,County may
turn-�back to the V i 1 1 age, a qual'i•f i ed county �"road wh i ch may be des.i �nated for mun i-
cipal state aid. One sych'-ro�dCvay could be Lexington Avenue from S.T.H. 13 to
Mendota Heiglits Road. Another coulii*be Wachtler-avenue from Highway 13 to Wentworth
and LJentworth from Wachtler to Delaware. Other county roads in Mendota Heights do
not readily fit into the criteria for state aid designation. -,
Another possibility may be to re-evaluate the thoroughfare plan��for the Village�-and
from this, establish a completely new street or roadway�which can�qualify.� �
In any event, this matter should be looked into so that Mendota Heights may qualify
for a greater allotment from State Aid.
�
For your use and information, I am enclosing a copy of the current state aicl map'of `�
' Mendota Heights recently received from the Highway Department. -'
�
If I can be of further assistance, please call me. ,
U�y truly yours,
.�

12e: Uo�, Ordinance Section 6 Keex�ing of Nuisance Do�s �rohibited
no person shall keep or harbor a dog which habitually barks
or cries at night between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 7:U0 n.M.
�ny such do� is hereby declared to be a nuisance.
Honorable i�iayor and Council �iembers:
As per the advice of Villa�,e t�Ianager Orvil J. Johnson, I am writng
regarding the above noted Section 6 of the dog ordinance. I am
requesting Section 6 be changed to read as follows:
Section 6. Keeping of Nuisance Dobs Prohibited
iJo person shall keep or harbor a dog which habitually barks or cries.
Any such dog is hereby declared to be a public nuisanGe.
The present wording implies that a do� may habitually bark and cry
between the hours of 7:00 �1.M. and 10:00 F.NI. and not b a public
nuisance. 'lhis is exactly the way the police departmen� interpret
Section 6.
For many peaple who work at night and sleep during the ay, Section 6
as it presently reads, is a hardship. For ourselves, w have had a neighbor's
dog bark at us for over 3 hours while we were entertain n� 18 people at

The property in question is presenfily zoned B-1, limited business and it consists of
approximafely 2.57 (+) acres. The applicant proposes to develo a fiwo story
building with approximafiely 16,319.52 (+) square feet of gross o floor area.
The proposed building will house a full-service bank (complefie �ith a drive•-up
banking facility} and an area for general office use. The Ordin nce requires a
minimum of one parking space for each 200 square feet of floor rea (Secfiion
21 .4-4s), or 82 spaces for the proposed project. The site plan i dicafies the pro-
vision of 99 spaces. .
The proposed development abuts existing a single family detach d dwelling units on
the south. Therefore, greafi care should be taken in the sifie de ign to "buffer" the
proposed building from the existing single family development. The site plan in�icates
fihe provision of parking spaces five feet from fihe south property line in accordance
wii-h the 4rdinance. However, the site plan also indicates the provision of a
screening materia) which is "to be determined." Ifi is recomme ded that fihe five feet
between the property I ine and fihe parking space is not enough pace to provide an
adequafie screenir�g effect. If fihe scre�nisig material is to be a fence, it is recommended
that the setback be increased to provide for storage of snow in inter conditions.
Because of the close proximity of the parking lot fo fihe adjace t single family develop-
ment, and because of the minimum setback from the parking lot, ifi is recommended that
the screening material be something other than plants and land caping.
The site plan is not sufficientl.y clear in indicating the locatio of the proposed public
road. It is recommended that the appl icant indicate the locati n af the road righfi-of-
way on the site plan. Also, it is recommended that the drivew y to the drive-up bank
teller be designated as "one way". The establishment of an onle way circulation pattern
will avoid potential circulation problems.

The site plan indicates an awkward water drainage pattern. Theref re, I would re-

The siie plan does not indicate the provision of any signs. I would�ecommend that
the applicant indicate the number, location, and size of any propo ed sign.
In summary, a bank is an acceptable use for the property in questio .(t is recommended
that the applicant resolve the "screening problem" between the pro osed development

ZERO GROWTH
Vermillion St., Hastings, Minn.

March, 1972
A number of individuals, organizations, and governmental agencie are seriously studying the
concept of limii:ed or zero growth for their r�espective areas. As t e February-March 1972 issue
of tne ASPO Neu�sZetter has indica�ted, a number of urban professiona s have already adopted the
notion that in the words of one planner "growth for growth's sake i the philosophy of the cancer
cell." .
This attitude has also been expanded by various governmental off cials and organizations. For
example, Governor Tom McCall of Oregon tells out-of-state visito�rs nd ���ventioneers "come
and visit us, but for heavan's sake don't come here to live." In B ulder, Colorado, a propositio�
submitted by the city council to the voters to hold growth down bel w the 1960-70 rate pending a
comprehensive study of ::-�timum growth for the Boulder Valley i•��s ap roved by 73 percent of the
voters. ,
Both Colorado and Oregon are getting nervous about over-developm nt of' their prime natural
eas. Both states h����e begun to get choosy about the kinds of ind stry they welcome and about

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
--------------------------------------------------
UOTES
"A good case could be made for asserting that there is no hing out there to
correspond to the term 'community'--or, at best, that what is o t there is, in the
vernacular, a can of worms. Yet planners and community organiz rs--and at times
sociologists--seem to find little difficulty in speaking of the community interest,
of planning for the communit,y, of securing community participat on, of implementing
community goals.
Is it not essentially fallacious to convert this can of wo ms into a unit by the
more verbal magic of calling it a community, and then to treat he �aord itself as
though it represented some virtuall,y tangible thing that has in erest, has goals,
resists this, supports that, has needs, is planned for, and so n?"
