Mayor Huber called the meeting to order at 8:00 o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Mayor Huber, Councilmen Lockwood, Losleben, Gutzmer and Wahl. APPROVE MINUTES Councilman Wahl moved approval of the minutes of the October 1 meeting. Mayor Huber seconded he motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 BACHELOR AVENUE After a brief discussion of the feasibility report for SANITARY SEWER proposed sanitary sewer and street improvements in the Somerset Park area, Councilman Lockwood moved the adoption of Resolution Number 74-88, "Resolution Accepting Engineer's Report and Calling for Hearing on Proposed Construction of y/s an Extension to the City's Sanitary Sewer System and Street / Improvements for a Portion of Bachelor Avenue, Wachtler ' 6Avenue and Lansford Lane," the hearing to be held on November 20. Councilman Losleben seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Mr. Pete Senty, representing Mr. Harvey Bream, requested the Council consideration of directing the City Engineer to prepare an additional alternative in the feasibility report which would propose running the sewer line down Bachelor rather than at the rear lot lines. COMMUNICATIONS The Council acknowledged receipt of a letter from NSP regarding a proposed rate increase for municipal utility service. MISCELLANEOUS The Council acknowledged receipt of the Fire Department monthly report for September, 1974. MARIE AVENUE Several representatives of a group of residents living west of Victoria Avenue were present to express the concern and opposition of the residents to any extension of Marie Avenue west of Victoria Avenue. Mr. Donald Rutman, 1043 Overlook, stated that the main concern of the residents of the Overlook area is that plans for the present Marie Avenue construction progressed without any information being given to the residents of the area west of Victoria and the residents fear that they will not receive any information on future Marie Avenue construction. Page 439 October 15, 1974 Mayor Huber documented the history of Marie Avenue and the Minnesota Highway Department requirements and standards imposed on MSA streets. He pointed out the future necessity for extending Marie Avenue as an east -west internal street to take some of the internal traffic from Highway 110 and to provide vehicular access for present and future residences. He further pointed out that plans have not been proposed nor has any extension of Marie Avenue west of Victoria been ordered by the Council at this time. The residents objected to the future extension of Marie Avenue west of Victoria for the following reasons: proximity of future location to the park area; 44 foot width; cost; they did not feel that a traffic study would warrant any extension of Marie Avenue west of Victoria; the road would cross between the school and the Overlook area. Councilman Losleben stressed the fact that such an extension of Marie Avenue is not currently under consideration. Mayor Huber stated that the Council has worked with the 'Minnesota Highway Department in the past to attempt to reduce the width of Marie Avenue and would be amenable to again discussing the matter with the Highway Department at such time as any additional extension of Marie Avenue is considered. RECESS The Council meeting was recessed at 9:.03 o'clock P.M. The meeting readjourned at 9:14 o'clock P.M. MENDOTA WATER Mr. John McGirl and Mr. Ed Lavigne, representing the Mendota COMPANY Water Company were present to report on the status of system improvements. Mr. McGirl stated that the company serves 227 homes in the Friendly Hills area and that of that number the company is aware of six severe pressure problems and rusty water. He stated that the company has been in contact with several firms in an attempt to solve the problems, and on the advice of the Layne Minnesota Company, the Water Company introduced a heavy concentration of chlorine into the water lines, hoping to open plugged lines. The chlorination did not produce any significant results, and the Water Company has retained the services of the Webster Company to do excavation and mechanical work on the water lines affecting the six homes. It was the company representatives' feelings that the chlorination would be adequate preventative , maintenance for the rest of the system. Mr. McGirl pointed out that a regular schedule of chlorination would cost an additional $1.20 to $1.30 per home per month. Councilman Losleben asked what guidelines the Company used to determine that only six homes have pressure and volume problems and Mr. McGirl stated that only the homes of those who complained of problems were checked. Mr. Mike Korby, 772 Keokuk, stated that the water pressure at his home is insufficient even after chlorination. Another resident complained about a high chlorine content after flushing*of the system. 1 0 Page 440 October 15, 1974 Councilman Losleben stated that the Company should establish a set of guidelines to determine what pressure level would be insufficient. Mr. Leonard Dahl, 749 Decorah Lane, requested that the Company send a note with each water billing to notify the residents that if a pressure problem exists they should contact the Water Company. The Council requested the Water Company representatives to appear at the November 5 meeting to give a further report on correction of system deficiencies. DAKOTA COUNTY After a brief discussion, Councilman Wahl moved the adoption ROAD AND BRIDGE of Resolution No. 74-91, "RESOLUTION OPPOSING DIMINISHING FUND AND DISCONTINUATION OF DAKOTA COUNTY ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND SHARING."

October 15, 1974 To: Mendota Heights City Council Re: Proposed Rate Increase for Mendota Water Company I wish to thank the Council for allowing me to study the financial records of the above company which have been submitted to the council. It was noted that only the years back through 1967 were submitted. It was my understanding that the company was to submit all their records from inception so that a complete history of their earnings could be analysed.. After perusing the statements, I wish to make the following comments. The financial statements of the years 1967 thru 1972, reflect that .dividends of;$10.00,ptr share per year were paid in, 170, 171 and. 172. Dividends_of $5.00.a.nd-.$3.00 were•paid,in 168 and !67 respectively. The 171 statement showed a loss of $11.96 per share ( $1,926.00 ). In spite of thir lose the directors saw fit to declare the dividend of $10.00 per share in March of 172• The above dividends have a definite effect on the yield on the ori;inai investment. They raise the overall'yield by an additional 64.19% to 1.303.13 or an additional annual vial d of 4.01 for a total annual yield of 80.76%. If you were to deduct the dividends fioin•the original cost per share, the investment would be reduced to $19.00 per share. 'Tanen the total yield per share would be 3,684.21 or an annual yield of 230.26%. I think that the Council can see why I am so adamantly opposed to a rate increase on grounds that the company is not receiving a reasonable return on their investment„ Sincerely, 'Arvid 3.

Huber Mayor, Village of Mendota Heights 1263 Delaware Avenue Saint Paul, Minnesota 5511$ Re: Mendota Water Company Dear Mayor Huber: At the last meeting of the Mendota Heights Village Council, I indicated to you and your colleagues that I would be present at your November 5 meeting on behalf of the Mendota Water Company to bring you up to date on the action which the Company has taken in connection with service problems and to be available to answer any questions which may arise. Unfortunately, my practice requires that I be in Boston, Massachusetts, on the night of November 5 and, therefore, I will be unable to attend your meeting. Although representa- tives of the Water Company will be present, I would like, in keeping with my personal commitment to you and the councilmen, to report on the Company's activities to date regarding the service problems. At the date of your last meeting, I believe I reported that the Company, had a list of seven customers who had complained of serious volume and pressure problems, which problems were verified by the Company. It was hoped that the introduction of a rather heavy concentration of chlorine into the system would alleviate those problems. However, on the day following your last meeting, the Company was able to ascertain that of the seven problem homes, only four of them received satifactory relief as a result of chlorination. The customers who indicated that their problems had been satisfactorily resolved by the chlorination were Corby, Coonan, Schoenecker and Merservey. However, customers Friel, Knuth and Capistrant continued to experience volume and pressure problems after the chlorination treatment was completed. As a result of the above findings, the Company immediately ordered excavation and mechanical cleaning at the homes of customers Friel, Knuth and Capistrant. I am pleased to report that the excavation and mechanical cleaning have now been accomplished, and all three customers are pleased with the results and consider the problem eliminated. DOHERTY, RUMBLE & BUTLER The Honorable Donald L. Huber Page 2 October 29, 1974 In addition, the Village informed us of less severe volume and pressure problems at the homes of customers Janota, Lerbs and Allen. Because of the nature of their problem, the Company either has or will flush their systems and install new meters on the premises if a check of the latter indicates it is necessary. The Company is confident that these courses of action will satisfactorily resolve the problem experienced by these customers because we have found that the chlorination treatment substantially loosened the materials clogging many of the pipes and makes those pipes amenable to cleaning by the flushing method. I should also like to inform you that the Company has commenced a systemized program to check the water volume and meter accuracy of each and every one of its customers. In those cases where problems are found in either or both respects, immediate action will be taken to resolve the problem. This program should serve to "flush out" (pun intended) those customers who might be experiencing some problem but who have not felt it severe enough to complain to the Company. Lastly, you should be informed that the Mendota Water Company has purchased a four -months supply of Aquadene and the equipment necessary for. its introduction into the water system. That product and related equipment were ordered on October 21 with delivery promised within two weeks after said order date. The above remarks conclude my report, Your Honor, and I hope that it is found satisfactory by yourself, your colleagues on the Village Council and, most importantly, by our previously unhappy customers. Should any questions arise regarding this report, I am sure that they can be answered by the representa- tives of the Company who will be in attendance at the November 5 meeting. I am sorry that I am unable to honor my commitment to appear at the November 5 meeting but trust you will understand that I, like yourself and most other human beings, do not completely control m own destiny in -those respects. 1j Yours :sine -ely, John J.

In addition, the Metropolitan Council reviewed an;d..evaluated your application and provided us with a priority ranking of all projects. This -.review was based on project needs, accessibility, site characteristi,cs,.availability, fiscal ability, other urban services.; ability to service development, citizen parti- cipation, and housing policies for the metropoli•tan.area. Unfortunately, there•are'not enough grant dollars available this fiscal year to fund your'request. '*Money is available for only eleven of the thirty-seven requests received from .the metropolitan area. It may be helpful for -your -resubmittal next year if you will retain a copy of your application*:- We hope that more -.grant dollars will be available and that we trill be able to fund more projects•and provide assistance to more communities. With more applications than dollars available, a priority ranking for funding must be made. Taken into consideration in making this determination were the ranking of -the Metropoiitan Council and such factors as outstanding natural, scientific, cultural,:historic, and educational values -of the project, its ability to provide•multi-purpose recreational opportunitie$, the scarcity of similar facilities within the general vicinity, and -whether the site was likely to be lost to other development.

I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to you and the council and to the water company. At the most recent meeting with the water company, it was suggested that the "plugging up" which has occurred over the years might be prevented by the introduction of a substance into the system. When considera- tion is given to the rate increase, I hope that the increase will be sufficient so as to permit this sort of preventative maintenance in the system. Sincerely, 1 Bernard P.

M., Tuesday, October 221 19741 by Chsirwoman Ridder. The following members were present: Ridder, Culligan, Stefani, Schneeman, Ljungkull, Wheeler, City Administrator Johnson and City Planner Barbara Lukermann. Commission member Clemens was absent. Also present were Councilmen Gutzmer, Lockwood, Losleben and Wahl. APPROVE MINUTES The minutes of the September 24 meeting had been submitted with the agenda. Wheeler moved approval of said minutes as written. Seconded by Ljungkull. All ayes. Number 4 on the agenda, County Planner James R. Warring was introduced, but delayed to await arrival of two members for his presentation. Chairwoman Ridder then called Case No. 74-181, Mr. McGough, but delayed that also to await representation from the Park Commission. CASE NO. 74-17 Mr. Laddasaw displayed his most recent LADDASAW residential plat plan. There was some dis- cussion of Barbara Lukermann's memo which she had submitted to the Commission members. Mr. Laddasaw explained his plans and Chairwoman Ridder wanted it to go on record that the subdivider would give cash in lieu of land for the park contribution. It was agreed that Mr. Laddasaw should consult further with City Engineer Kishel before submittance to the Council. Mr. Johnson introduced Nick Dries from N.S.P. who explained to the Commission the position of the Gas Tank Farm on the western adjacent property and that noise level tests had been made of which the commission should be aware. Chairwoman Ridder after some discussion expressed appreciation to Mr. breis and asked that he submit his test readings and findings to the City in the form of a letter so that it will officially be on record. Mr. Tom Oberly, representing Economics Laboratory together with Harry Carr, expressed a desire to meet with Mr. Laddasaw concerning their adjacent properties. Mr. Johnson requested that Mr. Kishel meet with them. Mr. Laddasaw exhibited his preliminary plans showing public utility plans on which he had consulted Mr. Kishel. Byran W. Westlund, President of the Cherry Hill Association, requested covenants apply as for the Cherry Hills Association. Minutes A motion was made b, -2- October 22, 1974 Wheeler to recommend acceptance of the proposed plat of Dakota Land and Development, CASE NO. 74-17 and Stefani seconded. All ayes. CASE NO. 74-18 Barbara Lukermann explained her report sent Mc GOUGH previously to the Commission members especially citing traffic patterns existing and possible with the completion of Butler Avenue and the park facilities. Mr. McGough said he plans to attend the Park Commission meeting tomorrow evening, October 23, and will work with them for mutual satisfaction. Several residents expressed concern with the traffic through the subdivision and there seemed to be agreement that they did not want Butler Avenue cut through. Councilman Russ Wahl cited the fact that Emerson will be cut through and may solve some of the East-West traffic problems between Highway #13 and Dodd Road. After more discussion Culliaan made a motion recommendina that Block I be approved in it's entirety as it is platted, and _ Block 2 approval be withheld unless the City decides it does not wish to extend the park northerly and that would mean that Block 2 then would be approved. Ljungkull seconded. All ayes. COUNTY PLANNER Mr. Warring was introduced to the Commission JAMES R. WARRING who in turn introduced Mr. John Jamison and Dick Wolsfield, a consultant for the M.T.C. who directed a study called "Personal Rapid Transit". He demonstrated with maps and drawings the results of their studies and how they may affect the Metropolitan and the Mendota Heights areas. CASE NO. 74-20 Dick Sheehy presented additional information SHEEHY CONST. to the Commission and made some explanations. Mr. Wheeler recommended that he return again after consulting further with the City Engineer Kishel. Chairwoman Ridder also suggested that if possible he get some commitments from the State Highway Department;. CASE NO. 74-24 The application for a variance was presented HIPP to the Commission members at the start of the meeting. Mrs. Hipp explained the need for a three (3) foot variance and Wheeler made a motion to recommend approval and Schneeman seconded. All ayes. Mrs. Hipp was advised to submit it to the Council at the next meeting, November 5. WEST END Barbara lukermann was asked to continue her PLANNING discussion on the West End properties. It was her understanding after consulting with MAC that the Highway Department. was to have the area of the displaced homes including the ceptic tanks all renovated; however, as Mr. Johnson advised, this apparently has not been done. Minutes -3- October 22,1974 There was some discussion and Chairwoman Ridder asked Barbara to contact the Highway Department about their Environmental Impact Study and what they intend to do about it. Wahl suggested the possibility of using the land for additional parking for the Airport. ADJOURN At 10:40 P.M. Wheeler made a motion the meeting be adjourned. Liungkull seconded, All ayes.

The property was initially proposed for residential develop- ment under a PUD process by the developers. Previous sketch plans for the property included 22 single family lots On 11.75 acres, 36 townhouse units on approximately 6 acres, and an Outlot for on- site ponding of surface water drainage of approximately 3.5 acres. The request is now to develop the entire property for single family lots, meeting minimum R-1 lot standards, and in addition retain an Outlot in the north- west corner of the site for on-site ponding. A total of 32 lots are proposed for the site. Abutting properties are Economics Labs to the north, the NSP tank farm to the west, undeveloped R-1 land to the south, and the developed single family homes across the street on Wachtler. The site is heavily wooded except for the southeast corner . The land slopes quite sharply from southeast to northwest, with approximately 50 feet difference in elevation between the highest (southeast) and lowest (northwest) points. FINDINGS 1. The property is properly zoned for single family development and minimum lot requirements for the R-1 District are met or exceeded for all proposed lots. - The density of development is low, at an overall density of 1.5 homes per acre. Mendota Heights Planning Report October 17, 1974 Page Two 2. The design of the street and lot system is found to be acceptable, with the exception that the cul-de-sac extending Farmdale Road exceeds the maximum of 400 feet in length. Only one lot would front on Wachtler, thus minimizing additional driveway entrances onto the county road. The plat satisfactorily extends existing street patterns in the Cherry Hills subdivision without jogs. 3. Provision has been made on the plat for retention of storm water on the site in the low lying area at the northwest corner. No detailed drainage plans have been reviewed, thus it will be necessary for the engineer to confirm the adequacy of the Outlot set aside for ponding. Utilities of sewer and water are available to the property. 4. A visual buffer should be retained on the western property line to shield the residential area from the tank farm to the maximum extent feasible. Sita preparation for single family development will require significant removal of tree cover for roads, building sites, etc. but provisions should be included by private covenant for maximum retention of large trees to preserve its character and amenity value. 5. The plat contains no acreage set aside for public park purposes. The comprehensive plan for parks and trail systems for the City does not identify a need for public acquisition within the proposed plat or to make provision for a future linkage from this plat to property located south. Cash in lieu of dedication as required in the subdivision regulations would thus seem appropriate in this instance. The Outlot would remain private property. 6• The traditional lot -by -lot single family development option for the subject property is viewed as offering less potential to retain the natural amenities of the site and develop the western portion of the property as highly attractive residential home sites.

McGough, Mendota Heights SUBJECT PROPERTY DESCRIPTION As illustrated on the accompanying map, the proposed plat is a 5 acre tract located in the Ivy Falls neighborhood, with present and proposed access provided along Butler Avenue on the south, and an extension of Brompton Place from the north. Ten lots are included in the plat, each meeting or exceeding the minimum lot requirements specified in the Zoning Ordinance. The existing house occupies Lot 3 of Block 1. A portion of the 30 foot proposed sewer and drainage easement located between the cul-de-sac and Butler is also viewed by the owner as a possible walkway through the plat to the park south of Butler. A 6 foot surfaced walkway could be developed and acquired for public purposes. The neighborhood is almost fully developed, with high value single family and condominium homes. A developed, neighborhood park is located immediately south of the subject property with a ballfield, recreational and hockey rinks and a warming house. The warming house is located in the projected street right-of-way and thus relocation and redevelopment of ice facilities would be required following approval of the plat as submitted. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Action on this plat involves some critical long range planning decisions, in addition to the standard concerns on subdivision design, conformance to zoning regulations, adequate provision for drainage and utilities, etc. These are described briefly as background data. 1. Long Range Traffic Patterns in the Neighborhood The proposed street system in the plat would complete dedication of Butler Avenue between two major state highways - Sibley Memorial Highway (T.H. 13) on the west, and Dodd Road (T.H. 49) on the east. Butler Avenue would then substitute for Sylvandale Road/ Maple Park Drive as the most direct route for auto traffic to move through the neighborhood to get from one state highway to the other. Anticipating construction of 1-35E and a downgrading of traffic on the above state highways, the 1959 Comprehensive Plan called for the extension of Butler to provide primarily for east/west local traffic movements in the neighborhood. The plat thus conforms with this plan. Traffic volumes along T.H. 13 and 49, however, have not dropped off, but increased slightly as listed below. Available forecasts are for continued growth on T.H. 49 and a decrease -on T.H. 13 following completion of 1-35E. Trunk Highway 13 Trunk Highway 49 Traffic Count (ADT) North of South of North of South of North of Year 1-35E T.H. 49 T.H. 110 Annapolis St. Annapolis St. 1966 3,600 3,200 4,105 7,040 8,990 1968 3,900 31200 4,110 8,000 N/A 1970 5,400 4,500 4,240 8,500 9,500 1972 5,150 4,800 4,550 7,100 10,500 Projections: T.H. 13: Decrease to 3,200 following completion of 35E (197'?) T. H . 49: Increase to 10,164 by 1980. SOURCE: Minnesota Highway Department. Completion of Butler could significantly increase attraction for through traffic movements between the two state highways. Traffic now using the Sylvandale/ Maple Park route would redirect itself to Butler because of its greater convenience. More short-cuts through the neighborhood should also be anticipated for non - local traffic. A trade-off would obviously occur between homes exposed to present and future traffic patterns, with an anticipated overall increase in total volume. 2. Park and Recreation Needs A need has been identified for expansion of the present park located south of Butler. A double tennis court (120' x 110') and parking space for approximately 20 cars (300 square feet x 20) have been proposed for the park. Two options appear open for meeting this need: (1) expand east into outlot H of the Clapp-Thomssen Ivy Hill Townhouse Development; (2) expand north in the McGough plat, taking the southern four lots fronting on Butler. A land area of about 1.5 acres would be needed for the expansion -- the above have 1.7 and 1.45 acres respectively. Expansion into the outlot would mean acquiring property for public purposes where the building density for the land has already been transferred to other parts of the townhouse development. This property has recently been appraised, with the developer indicating a market value of approximately $48,000. Expansion into the McGough plat would take all four lots and prohibit the extension of Butler Avenue. Part of this acquisition would be covered by the 10% dedication provision in• the subdivision regulations, remaining costs would have to be met through purchase. Mr. McGough has indicated he would be a willing seller should this be the City's decision and requirement. FINDINGS 1. The plat, as submitted, conforms to all zoning and subdivision regulations, and the layout of lots is found acceptable. It would be recommended that the walkway be provided from Brompton Place to allow for pedestrian movements to the park, even though such will make Lots 2 and 3 in Block 2 slightly under sized on frontage. The adjacent property to the east (Mr. Arndt) would be readily developable under the proposed street plan. 2. The plat, as submitted, would eliminate the option of expanding the park northward and would commit the City to a full extension of Butler. Worming house and hockey facilities would need to be adjusted to accommodate Butler. Local traffic patterns would be adjusted, with anticipated reduction of traffic on Sylvandale and Maple Park Drive. Future park extension would then logically be to the east on Outlot H. No park expansion is also a possibility to consider. Dedication of land should be taken for the pedestrian -way, with remaining amount due taken as cash in lieu. 3. Expansion of the park northward into the McGough Plat is potentially less costly, not requiring relocation or replanning of existing improvements, but would prohibit the completion of Butler Avenue. Local neighborhood traffic patterns would then remain essentially as they are today. The Arndt property's development potential is not diminished ' by Butler not going through. 4. The dedication*of Butler across Mr. McGough's property is judged necessary in the event that the park is not extended northward. Lengthening Brampton Place with all lots facing on this street would make the cul-de-sac longer than 400 feet and fewer lots could be developed with full frontage. �y �u0V 41974 MEMORANDUM TO: Mendota Heights City Council FROM: Kevin Howe, Chairman, Park Commission DATE: October 31, 1974�� At the October 16, 1974 meeting of the Park Commission, a resolution was unanimously adopted requesting me, as Chairman, to convey our concerns about the McGough Plat which was approved by the Planning Commission the previous evening. We are grateful to the Planning Commission for submitting this matter to us. The Park Commission desires to add two tennis courts to the facilities at Ivy Park. Additional courts are needed to service the needs of the many residents in the northern part of the city. The courts now avail- able are in constant use during the tennis seasons and additional courts might relieve some of the pressure from the existing courts. We have been reviewing several alternatives for location of the new courts: 1. We could place the courts on existing Ivy Park land. This seems to be the least attractive alternative because it would tend to squeeze all facilities and give a cramped appearance to a beautiful park. This alternative could be acceptable if additional land were acquired. 2. We could purchase Outlot H of the Clapp-Thomssen property (1. 7 acres). We have been advised unoffically that the developer felt the fair market value was approximately $48, 000. Because of this high cost, the Park Commission felt that alternatives should be reviewed. 3. We could purchase four lots of the McGough property which might be available for park acquisition. It appears that the land could be acquired for less than the $48, 000 requested by the Clapp-Thomssen developer. Memorandum Page Two October 31, 1974 Perhaps the Council should request Midwest Planning to review the total impact of the McGough Plat on Ivy Park. A study should be made concerning the extension of Butler on the safety of the children using Ivy Park. We are concerned that those children using the skating area would be endangered by the extension of Butler. If Butler goes through, it may be necessary for us to move the skating facilities to another portion of the Park. This is an obvious added expense which must be considered in determining where to put the proposed tennis courts and which particular parcel of land might be more economically desirable. Midwest Planning could also make an assessment as to the best location for the tennis courts. Even if the tennis courts are not placed on the McGough or Clapp-Thomssen property, the Park Commission feels that acquisition of one of these parcels is desirable in order to avoid a cramped appearance as mentioned above. If the Council decides to extend Butler, they should make a very close analysis of the environmental impact of such decision. If Butler goes through, it will be necessary to cut through some sloping land and take down some large trees which greatly enhance the existing park. Even if no decision is made at this time concerning the extension of Butler, it may be desirable for the Village to acquire the four lots of the McGough property for the placement of tennis *courts. This would give us the flexibility of determining what to do about Butler at some later date. KPH/rb .

Hipp and Ruth F. Hipp, husband and wife, hereby petition the Village of Mendota Heights for a "Variance Permit" for the reasons hereinafter set forth. Background: In 1966 petitioners requested and obtained a building permit to modify their residence located at 2124 Aztec Lane, Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120. The modification included extending the garage forward, toward Aztec Lane, to a distance of thirty (30) feet from the right-of-way and incorporating'the rear portion of J the old,garage into living space. The construction of the new garage -portion resulted in the overall length of the newly completed garage being eighteen (18) feet which was sufficient to accommodate medium size auto- mobiles at that time. With the advent of recent automobile requirements, which require bumpers to withstand specified impact forces, automobile manufacturers have incorporated bumper shock absorbing components which have resulted in the lengthening of the overall dimensions*of the vehicles, including medium size vehicles, to the extent that they can no longer be garaged in said eighteen (18) foot garage. J At the time of the above mentioned -construction in 1966, petitioners were not aware of the "Variance Permit" and were, in fact, told by the contractor that the structure proper could not extend closer to the right-of-way than thirty (30) feet. Petitioners, therefore, sought no "Variance Permit" to allow construction of the garage to extend closer to the right-of-way than thirty (30) feet. Further, at no time did any village construction inspector mention the possibility of obtaining a "Variance Permit". Petitioners fully and sincerely believe that they will suffer hardship as the result of the -inability to -garage their automobile during the harsh Minnesota winter rapidly approaching, if the requested ."Variance Permit" is not granted. Request: Petitioners, therefore, hereby respectfully'request that they be granted a "Variance Permit" in order;to permit extension of the garage, located at 2124 Aztec Lane, Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120, by a distance of three (3) -feet. Said extension, when completed, then placing the physical extremities of the garage twenty-seven (27) feet from the right-of-way.of Aztec Lane. &M Respectfully yours, Augus us J.

This change order was approved by the park commission on October 23, 1974 and reconciles a number of extra cost items requested by the landscape architect, the park commission, and the city staff with credits generated during the course of construction. Authorized extras are listed below by jurisdictional authority. By Landscape Architect Extra Sod $1180 Shelter Railing 100 Plant Materials 942 Drainage Pipe 800 Rogers Lake Swale' 100 Totals $3122. By'City Staff Ivy Hills Sign $325 Extra Beach Sand 315 Grade Extra Sand 100 Shelter Conduit 65 $805 By Park'COMmission New Tennis Nets $400 $400 As this contract neared completion the landscape architect was reasonably confident that extras authorized by our firm in the field to provide improved drainage and erosion control, more durable high -use turf areas, and better pedestrian circulation would balance with credits produced by modified, but acceptable, construction procedures. Therefore, no change order was requested prior to the execution of those extras authorized by, the landscape architect. Unfortunately, it was impossible to generate additional credits to cover other contract extras authorized in the field by city park staff and by the park board. Because a number of these changes were requested during actual construction and to expedite contract completion, no formal change order authorization for these extras was obtained. 366 Jackson street saint paul minnesota 55101 612-225 3354 Mr. Orvil Johnson, Administrator City of Mendota Heights October 30, 1974 Page Two These circumstances have produced extras exceeding credits by $1,342.00 which is about 1/2% over the contract amount of $231,500. The attached change order documents this request for extra compensation from the contractor. Although we must apologize for the procedural situations leading to this extra payment request, we do feel the extra cost items add significantly to the functional, maintenance, and aesthetic character of the parks and that the amount requested is reasonable in view of the benefits received. In addition to change order no. 5, we are also requesting councilmanic consideration of final payment procedures for park development project no. 2. All identified deficiencies for this contract have been corrected to the satisfaction of the landscape architect, city staff, and the park commission. Based on this acceptance, we are recommending that the contractor submit final payment documentation for the retained percentage on all contract items except item 23 --landscape planting --for city processing and approval. Final payment on the landscape planting item would be made irf;the spring of 1975 after any required plant material replacements have been made. Sincerely yours, BECKMAN, YODER AND SEAY, INC.

Of the 100 units, 50 will be for -the elderly and 50 for -families, The Section 23 Leased Housing Program for Existing Units provides rent subsidies for persons who qualify on the basis of income and family size. Interested persons apply to the MI and, if they are found eligible and if the HRA has units available, a Certificate of Family Participation is issued. The person then has 60 days in which to find a dwelling unit -to rent. The applicant must find his own unit, which also gives him choice and flexibility in where he is to live. Low-income families are not congregated in one area, creating a small slum of their own. Instead, they may even lease -in-place, which means they continue to live where they currently are living, but pay a rent which they can afford. If a suitable unit is located or if their present landlord agrees, the owner of the building and the HRA enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for the term of the lease. However, the lease itself is between the owner and the tenant. Tenants will pay approximately 25 per cent of their income for rent, and the HRA will make up the balance, The Fair Market Rent ceilings that have been established for the rent INCLUDING ALL UTILITIES EXCEIPT TELEPHONE are as followst 0 Bedroom $126 1 Bedroom 143 2 Bedrooms 168 3 Bedrooms. 193 4 Bedrooms 218 .The owner is responsible for the complete and total management, maintenance, and operation of the project. These responsibilities shall include but not be limited to the payment of utilities (unless paid directly by the family), insurance and taxes; the performance of all ordinary and extraordinary maintenance; performance of all management functions; collection of rents; risk of loss from vacancies (in that if a unit is not under lease, the HRA does not pay): and preparation of and furnishing information required by the HRA under Contract. The owner may contract "with the HRA for management services. The HRA is responsible for the review of applications in accordance with procedures for issuing the Certificates of Family Participation; approving owners' Offers to Lease Dwelling Units; re-examination of family eligibility; inspections prior to ,leasing and inspections at least annually to determine that the units are maintained in decentt safe, and sanitary condition; authoritat"on Of Qng; to ing app vlctloR- proviling.ldvice and guidance to eligible families in finding sui �Ie housi-c 'ons. COURT HOUSE- HASTINGS, MINN. 55033 TEL. 437 - 3191 REVISED SECTION 23 LEASED HOUSEM PROGRAB STEPS FROM APPLICATION TO CONTRACT SMITH OVINER 1. Applicant comes to HRA Office to fill ou•t application and verification authorization forms. 2. HRA determines eligibility in accordance with approved Admission Policies. 3. If eligible, HRA will issuev:a Certificate of Family Participation valid for 60 days. They will also be given copies of Lease Provisions Required, Housing Assistance Payments Contract, and a circular on Lead Paint Poisoning. 4. When the applicant has found a unit he wishes to lease, he submit to the HRA a Request for Lease Approval signed by the Owner and applicant and a proposed lease. 5. The HRA inspectsdor causes to be inspected the proposed unit to insure that the unit is decent, safe and sanitary. 6. HRA reviews and, if acceptable, approves the lease. 7. Owner and family execute lease and return copy to HRA. 8. Housing Assistance Payments Contract is executed as well as the Security Deposit Agreement. These are the basic steps for the stages from •the application to the execution of the Housing Assistance Payments Contract. There are forms required all through these stages, and steps such as the resolutions by the cities for subsidized unit use to be utilized within their boundaries are not included. The Publicity campaign the Authority must conduct in order to locate needy parties and units to.be listed is also not listed. Nor are things like accounting and other administrative steps necessary to make the program operate. Theoretically, when the Housing Assistance Payments Contract is executed, the .HRA does not have much additional contact with the family or owner unless there are problems, other than the inspection of the unit at •timely intervals and re-examinations of families to determine continued eligibility. Once all 100 units are under lease, the administrative time should not be too great. However, we do _not expect that people will stop making applications just because the units are leased. There will be waiting lists, of course. And •there may be new unit applications if this program proves successful and if the waiting lists document further need. The initial development stage is critical.

Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Employment Changes November 1, 1974 This will advise and inform you that Marna Johnson has submitted her resignation from the position of bookkeeper. The resignation was effective on October 31. During the interim between Marna's resignation and final working day, an employment advertisement was placed in the St. Paul Dispatch and Roger Katzenmaier was contacted to assist in our search for a replacement. He also provided testing procedures to aid in making the final selection. After reviewing the 18 applications, as well as the testing and interviewing of three applicants, the position has been offered to Mrs. Joanne Cobian, 1127 West 15th Street, Hastings. Mrs. Cobian has had eight years of municipal experience with the City of Hastings in a similar position and is therefore familiar with municipal bookkeeping procedures as well as the day to day municipal activities. I feel that Mrs. Cobian is well-qualified for this position, and would recommend and request that her probationary employment as bookkeeper, at the established salary of $670 per month, be ratified. y CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO October 31, 1974 TO: City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Volunteer Fire Department Radio Alerting System As you may recall, in the 1975 budget document I made reference to the advisability of providing a radio alerting system in the near future (see Page 6 of the budget document). This memo then constitutes the documentation for supporting a radio alerting system. Part of the response time of any emergency service depends upon the alerting system and the method of communication used. Prior to mid -1973 the Mendota Heights Volunteer Fire Department was alerted by anyone calling 452-3322. Dialing this number activated a telephone ringer that rang the phones in the homes of twenty firemen. This "easy access" permitted anyone and everyone to alert all the firemen. In fact, on several occasions some rather unfortunate and potentially misleading calls were placed on the alerting system. In 1973 we changed the system so that all emergency calls are received and recorded at the West St. Paul Communication Center. Here, emergency calls are classified, and those needing the services of the Volunteer Fire Department are channelled into the telephone ringer alerting twenty firemen. This has been a big improvement as far as the Volunteer Fire Department members are concerned, however, it is a rather costly system and cannot be easily adapted to the present 28 man department. In providing a radio alerting system, the first question is: what frequency should be used? The two most logical frequencies would be those of Mendota Heights local government or West St. Paul fire frequency. Most mobile units and hand-held units are multiple frequency, thereby being flexible in that regard. Since the dispatching is in the West St. Paul Communication Center it seems logical that the West St. Paul fire frequency be imposed on the radio frequency thereby differentiating between departments. It seems logical that the most desireable frequency would be the West St. Paul fire frequency, thereby eliminating the installation of a Mendota Heights transmitter at West St. Paul. After determining a frequency, there are several choices of receiving the alerting message. At least two conventional units are:, Radio Alerting System -2- October 31, 1974 1. Table -top monitor. 2. Small transistorized personal radio monitor (commonly known as Personal Pager by G.E.). In both cases these units are receivers only and can be designed to respond to selected calls. In other words, the monitors can be designed and outfitted to respond to specialized calls. This would allow alerting to differentiate between fire calls, automobile accidents, and any other type of emergency service. The main difference between the two units is initial cost. Table -Top Monitors This type of unit is the conventional monitor sold and used to a large extent in the retail market. The table -top monitor would be a 110/12 volt unit designed to be located in a living room or bedroom. One quoted proposal for a commonly known table -top monitor is $135.00 each. An encoder to be located in West St. Paul would cost approximately $350.00 installed. Based on these figures a complete monitoring system would cost some $4,500 to $5,000 for a thirty -man department. Personal Radios These smaller, more specialty radios are designed for rough personal use and are considerably more expensive. They have a number of inherent advantages foe.fire service and other types of municipal service. The normal outfitting consists of a unit with rechargeable battery and individual charger. The unit rests in a charger at home while providing alerting service, and is carried by the individual during the working day. These are very sensitive radios and can be designed to reflect selective calling. A typical cost of this personal radio is $320 each. An encoder designed to go with the system and provide the flexibility of selective calling would cost $530 installed, hence it would cost slightly over $10,000 to outfit a thirty man department based on personal radios. From the above description it is easy to see that the personal radios cost more than twice as much as table -top monitors. The following are cited to support a radio alerting system, and in particular to support personal radio alerting. a. Any number of volunteers can be readily equipped with radio monitors while the existing system has a limit of twenty units, all located only in the 452/454 exchange area. b. There would be approximately a $1,200 per year savings in the telephone service costs. C. It is argued that portable, personal monitors would improve response to fires. This is certainly logical for those firemen employed within easy access of Mendota Heights. They could receive the alert, or any other message, at work, at home, in the store, during shopping, during leisure time activities, etc. v Radio Alerting System -3- October 31, 1974 d. This equipment could be carried to the fire and at the fire, it can be set up so the commanding officer could give additional messages to the men. This could be to cancel the call, get out of the building, etc. e. This equipment could be used also by the police department. It could be used to call an officer that was on call, such as a detective or juvenile officer. He would be free to move around without the display of the larger walkie talkie equipment. f. With the selectivity of personal radios other municipal employees such as the Public Works Inspector, weekend duty men and other special municipal employees could be paged or alerted for any number of messages. You may recall most of the above statements in the budget message including the fact that the 1975 budget does not make provisions for the $1,200 telephone service costs. In view of the foregoing facts and theories, I am hereby recommending that the Council approve the concept of radio alerting, specifically authorizing the personal radio approach. The $10,000 to $11,000 cost could and should be supported from Federal Revenue Sharing funds. This way we would be preparing our fire department service for a long-range alerting system via federal funds, provide a greater and faster service, reduce operating costs and allow much better communications for other necessary municipal functions. If the personal radio concept is approved, I recommend that the Administrator and Department Heads be authorized and directed to establish an operational plan for such alerting system and prepare specifications, preparatory for bid purposes. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO October 30, 1974 TO: .City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Feasibility Study Request We have in the past discussed the need for improvements in the area of the Avenues, Laura, Clement and Vandall. The attached memo from Ed Kishel concerns such improvements. I would recommend that we study the need for improvements in this area and that the Council adopt a resolution directing Ed to prepare a feasibility report for street and drainage/storm sewer improvements for this area. 1437 MARSHALL AVENUE 29 October 1974 Or-, (- I 97A BETTENBURG TOWNSEND STOLTE & COMB, INC • SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55104 TEL. 646-2558 AREA CODE 612 ARCHITECTS E N G I N E E R S P L A N N E R S Mr. Orvil J. Johnson, Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive St. Paul, Minnesota 55120 Subject: Mendota Heights Street Construction Clement -Vandal] Area BTS&C Job No. 7426 Dear Orvil: On several occasions during the past 6 to 8 months, you and I have mildly discussed the need to look into potential upgrading of streets in the area east of Clement Street and adjacent to Vandall Street to minimize maintenance costs. This area is rapidly being developed with single family residences with the result that existing streets are not adequate. A preliminary review of the area brings to mind numerous questions which should be looked into in order to properly evaluate the situation. We refer to the condition of the existing driving surfaces, the adequacy or inadequacy of the sub -base materials, the need to consider the construction of storm sewers or open ditches for surface water removal and the possibility of grade changes to fit existing driveways or building elevations. A decision should be made relative to the preferred width of driving surface, whether curbs and gutters are desirable, and as to whether or not some of the unopened streets should be constructed. In that such a study would involve considerable effort in the way of soil testing and field survey work as well as report preparation,'we herewith request that authorization be granted to prepare a full fledged feasibility report on the matter. We also request authority to have the necessary soil tests taken. v� page two Mr. Orvil J. Johnson Preparing a study now will permit hearings this winter so that if advisable, construction can be accomplished early next summer. In line with recent City policy to install permanent surfacing on City streets to minimize street maintenance costs, it is important that the Clement-Vandall area be looked into as soon as possible. Waiting until spring to commence preliminary studies will result in delays which could mean 1976 or later construction.

Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Probationary Employee Six Month Report Chester Pearson was employed as Public Works Inspector on May 6, 1974. His six-month probationary period expired on November 1. As you may recall, on August 20 I submitted a favorable report on Chet's performance during his first three months with the City. In this six-month report I can only reiterate my satisfaction with his performance and capabilities. His work habits, sensitivity to public needs, unselfishness with his time, and dedication to his work are highly satisfactory. He has completed one extension course during his probationary period and plans to pursue additional schooling associated with his municipal inspection position. In conclusion, Chet's first six months as Public Works Inspector have been exemplary. I would therefore recommend, without reservation, that his appointment be made permanent. / RECEIVF[T QCT r 91 n BETTENBURG TOWNSEND STOLTE & COMB, INC 1437 MARSHALL AVENUE • SAINT PAUL.
