WEST END City Administrator Johnson outlined his memo on the REDEVELOPMENT development of the Furlong area. Mr. Johnson stated that a feasibility study for sewer and water construction for this area has been completed. He explained that a considerable amount of study has been made on two alternate methods of sewer servicing -- a gravity system and a lift station and force main system. The gravity system could be constructed to serve the industrial property west of TH55 and north of the Milwaukee Railroad tracks as well as the Furlong area. The total estimated cost is $250,000 with assessment figures of approximately $2,900 for a standard residential lot based on an assessment for front footage and an..area assessment. The lift station/force main alternative would serve only the property east of TH 55. The estimated assessment would be $4,200 for a 100 foot lot. Water servicing would involve considerable looping, an elevated storage tank located near Gould and a secondary water source in the industrial park. The approximate per foot cost is $14.50 per foot. Mr. Johnson advised the audience that based on construction of a gravity sewer system and water system, the estimated cost would be $4,350 for a 100 -foot lot. The report had been provided to the residents, and several, residents from the Furlong area were present and asked questions on suggested construction and assessment procedures. Mr. Bernard Biesener reminded the Council members of an informal meeting between the Furlong area residents and the Highway Department to be held on April 3. He requested that a representative of the City be present at the meeting, and the City Administrator advised that he will be in attendance. After a lengthy discussion, Mayor Huber requested the residents to study and discuss the report and advise the Council of any feedback they might have.

CASE NO. 75-1, Mr. Lance Peterson was present to request a variance to build PETERSON a residence on an undersized lot, Lots 8 and 9, Block 2, Mortenson's Addition. He also requested variances of five feet from the rear yard setback requirement and ten feet from the front yard setback requirement. The Council acknowledged receipt of a proposed resolution approving the variance, and a copy was given to Mr. Peterson. After a brief discussion, Mayor Huber moved that the proposed Resolution Granting Variance be adopted. Mr. Peterson expressed objection'to the portion of the resolution requiring a $1,645 connection charge for sewer and water services. Mayor Huber asked Mr. Peterson if he would like to consider the proposed resolution and pursue his variance Page 50_ hpril 1; 1975 application. Mr. Peterson stared that he did not wish to pursue the matter in view of the connection charge. Mayor Huber withdrew his motion to adopt the proposed resolution. Councilman Wahl moved that the application for variance be denied. Councilman Gutzmer seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE N0. 74-16, Since Mr. Bream was not present to discuss his request BREAM for approval of concept plans for townhouse development in Eagle Ridge, the matter was tabled until April 15. CASE N0. 75-3, Mrs. Jerilyn Lambert was present to request a twenty -foot LAMBERT variance from the rear yard setback requirement at 2237 Apache. The Lamberts would like to construct a two -car garage at the rear of their yard. Administrator Johnson stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application contingent upon the driveway being located at the south side of the lot. Mayor Huber pointed out that an accurate survey of the lot should be made prior to granting of a variance, since there is some question about the north lot line. Mr. Robert Klein, 2231 Apache, stated that he objects to the proposed driveway on the north side of the lot because of its proximity to his bedrooms and the possible runoff problem. Mrs. Lambert stated that she could not afford to construct a driveway along the south property line. She stated that she plans to include a blacktopped lip on the driveway so that runoff will not be a problem. Mayor Huber suggested that Mrs. Lambert and Mr. Klein discuss the matter and arrive at some satisfactory solution to the driveway problem and directed the Public Works Inspector to work with the two parties. The matter was continued to April 15. CASE N0. 74-20, Mr. Dick Sheehy and Mr. John Holmquist, of Hickok and SHEEHY Associates, were present to request approval of drainage plans for the southeast corner of the Sheehy property. Mr. Sheehy proposed the following: 4:1 slopes on the pond, unfenced; surface runoff rather than underground piping; six-inch high asphalt curbs with flumes to channel runoff water into a paved ditch to prevent erosion. Mr. Holmquist explained the rationale for proposing surface water runoff rather than underground piping. Mayor Huber suggested construction of concrete curbs, flumes and spillways. He emphasized that all construction of drainage facilities must be first-class quality, especially any blacktopping. bLr. Sheehy assured the Council that the curbs will be concrete and that any asphalt work will be high quality. He also pointed out that he will plant nine Page 506 April 1, 1975 green ash trees on the shopping center property and that the slopes of the ponding area will be sodded and maintained. Councilman Losleben moved approval of the concept, subject to review of the final plans and directed the City Engineer to work with Mr. Sheehy and Mr. Holmquist on the final design. Councilman Wahl seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 DELAWARE AVENUE Mr. Thomas Mairs, 1707 Delaware Avenue, stated that he agrees SPEED LIMIT with the concept of a pedway along Delaware Avenue but feels that the present 40 mile per hour speed limit would not be reasonable or safe for anyone using the pedway. He requested that the Council petition the Highway Department to reduce the speed limit. Mayor Huber assured Mr. Mairs that his request will be seriously considered. PLAT CORRECTION City Administrator Johnson explained that he has been contacted by Surveyor James L. Kurth advising him that a plat correction is necessary on Sylvandale Court South. The Council acknowledged receipt of a registered land survey correcting the measurements of Tracts A and C, Ivy Falls Second Addition, adjacent to the cul-de-sac on Sylvandale Court South. Councilman Wahl moved the approval of the Registered Land Survey and directed the City Administrator to request a hardshell of the plat. Councilman_ Lockwood seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 McGOUGH Administrator Johnson advised the Council that he has been in PROPERTY contact with Mr. Jerry McGough regarding the acquisition of four lots to expand the Ivy Hills Park. Mr. Johnson stated that Mr. McGough is asking $35,000 for the lots plus waiver of the required park contribution on the remaining six lots of the plat. After a brief discussion, the Council members agreed that Mr. McGough's proposal is unrealistic and directed the Administrator to advise Mr. McGough that the proposal is too high. AERIAL Administrator Johnson briefly outlined a proposal for aerial PHOTOGRAPHS photographs from the Harry S. Johnson Company. Some of the items included in the proposal are: aerial photography and horizontal control survey; photographic half -sections; map compilation and copies of map sheets.

Mr. Johnson read portions of the proposed Bill to the Council and explained that, if adopted, the Bill would give the Metropolitan Council the power to adopt and impose on communities standards and criteria for land use controls and development.

Mayor Huber moved the adoption of Resolution Number 75-26, "RESOLUTION OPPOSING SF 939," and directed that copies of the Resolution be submitted to the legislators representing Mendota Heights, the authors of the proposed bill, and to Governor Wendell Anderson.

Johnson City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Mn. 55120 Dear Mr. Johnson: April 7, 1975 As a co-author of S.F. 939, I am at a loss to see how a Mr. Johnson can state that the bill would "give the Metropolitan Council the power to adopt and impose on communities standards and criteria for land use controls and development." It speaks mostly of encouraging housing, of amending the usury statutes and of requiring communities to set aside a small portion of their• land for moderate income housing. I don't see that as control and hope that you will ask your staff to more correctly assess the bill. Sincerely, NICHOLAS D.

HOWARD DAHLGREN AND ASSOCIATES / Date CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Date Date CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION URGING DISTRIBUTION OF ALL TELEPHONE AND RAILROAD GROSS EARNINGS TAXES TO LOCAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT [WHEREAS, the City Council of Mendota Heights strongly favors the reduction of municipal property taxes, and the most feasible way of accomplishing this without drastically reducing essential municipal services is through the distribution of railroad and telephone gross earnings taxes to cities as proposed by Governor Anderson; and WHEREAS, local units of government receive no property taxes or other taxes from railroad or telephone company property and the City of Mendota Heights will receive approximately $62,860 under the proposed distribution of telephone and railroad gross earnings in 1976; and WHEREAS this method of tax reduction is preferable to other alternatives being considered. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Mendota Heights respectfully urges the Minnesota State Legislature to distribute all of the telephone and railroad gross earnings taxes, amcunting to $46 million in 1976 and $49 million in 1977, to local units of government as proposed by Governor Anderson; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Minnesota, Members of the State Legislature and the League of Minnesota Municipalities. ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this Fifteenth day of April, 1975. ATTEST: G.M. Radabaugh Clerk -Treasurer CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Donald L. Huber Mayor i 4 .ju fill E0 league of minnesota municipalities i 1;1�q _10T 1,�ayors, Maragers and Clerks SUBJECT: Proposed Distribution of the Railroad and Telephone Gross Earnings Taxes and the Easing of Levy Limits. As you may be aware, Governor Anderson proposed in his budget message that all cf the telephone and railroad gross earnings taxes collected by the state be distributed to counties, cities and to7ernships. This would amount to $46 million in 1976 and $49 million in 1977. There is enclosed an estimate of the amount of money that each local government in your county will receive in 1976 if this proposal is enacted by the legislature. there is also enclosed a letter from John Haynes, the Governor's Staff Assistant for Taxation and School Finance, which indicates that any easing of levy limits is dependent upon the enactment of the Governor's proposal to distribute these gross earnings taxes to local government. In other words, if there is no gross earnings tax distribution, there won't be any easing of levy limits either. This is because the way the present law is structured, any increase in state aids to local government results in a dollar for dollar reduction in local property taxes, and that is highly important to both the Governor and the legislature. If the U gross earnings tax distribution is enacted, municipal property taxes will go da -,,.n and there can be some easing of levy limits as well. If it is not enacted, t -hen any easing of levy limits will ineviiably result in higher municipal property taxes, and i-.,• is highly unlikely that either the Governor or the legislature 0 would be w1llirig to take such action. Mr. Haynes also makes the point that the Governor's gross earnings distribution proposal is in jeopardy because of the possibility of the enactment of a substantial income tax cut or a state take-over of county welfare costs. Mly best judgment is that John Haynes' assessment of the situation is correct. If the gross earnings tax distribution proposal fails to be enacted, cities all across the state will be in deep financial trouble. Therefore, I urge you to express your strong support for the gross earnings tax distribution proposal to the Governor and the members of the legislature. Specifically, I request that yc,u take the following action as soon as possible: 1. Pass the enclosed sample resolution or some modification of it and send it to the Governor, your own legislators, to each .300 hanover building, 4BO cedar street, saint Paul, minnesota 551 01 C6 12) 222-2BB 1 - 2 - member of the Senate and House tax committees, and to each member of the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, and to the League. 2. Try to get some newspaper or radio coverage of the gross earnings tax distribution proposal and what it would mean in terms of property tax reductions within your own community. 3. Contact your legislators personally in support of the gross earnings tax distribution proposal and about the reed for some easing of levy limits. Since the 1971 session of the legislature, -'U"-,--ere is no single issue on which the "municipal family" has been as united as on levy limits. Some modifications were made in 1973, but some further easing of levy limits is essential if cities are to remain financially strong. It is time once again for all of us to unite in this effort. I urge each of you to make this your highest priority during the next several weeks. � S'n0erely, _P_ tL,/)ti C Dean A. Lund Executive Director DAL:ck enc. r'ENDELL P ANDERSON GOVERNOR ST. f Alm , 5:31:5.5 25, 1175 Mr. lean Lund League 0= Minnesota i`_un2_c_Oc ! itie.s 300 Hanover Bui-Iain' =SO CEaar Street St. Paul, !Minnesota 55101 Dear Mr. Lund: I wish to inform you of cer-tain diSL Arbil ng LaCtors in the current legislative session. As you kncw, Gove-rnox --nderson has nioposed the rerurn of gross earnings taxes r_=i17 oad and t -el e- DhOne companies to local municipal and tov:n governments. T JLs will amount to S46 million in 1976 a_^•d $49 mi -1-12! on in 1977 This aid r3i11 be in addition to the exi sting Local Gover mc.._lt -:i - Law. Governor Anderson believes this additional state aid is needed to meet the financial needs of local governments and to allow changes in the restrictions of state levy limit laws. 7owever, 1 now believe that there are grade risks that there Will be no increase at al! in sta.te aid to munic_i_Oal and town governments. This Strong possib i lit -y e:_-4sts !'iecausO- the chance Of adopt -ion of suibstantial income tc,x cuts or state take-ove= of county government Welfare costs. The state Of Minnesota is not the "ede.ral :_overn-meat. The state cannot engage in deficit financing. our bud et must balance. Thus, any income tax cut or any state take-over of county welfare costs must be balanced by equivalent cuts in other state expenditures_ 1 believe that if cuts in income tax or a large welfare 'Lake -over is adopted, then it is highly likely that co-mpensating cuts w-3-11 be made in state education aids to local school districts and by not pro- , i di ng any increase i='? municipal Or tov:°.q aia� The=ai.lure to provide increases in municipal a;d will further _educe prosT-ec•-s for any changes in ?e„ -y limits. Page 2 Some people may be under the illusion that the struggle over state income tax cuts and state take-over of local welfare costs are unconnected to the question of increases in state aid to municipal- ities and towns and to levy limits. That is an error. if thele are substantial cuts in state income taxes Or a state take-over Of county welfare costs, then state investment in other areas will be reduced. The proposal for increased state aid to municipalities and towns is likely to be dropped because of the necessity for a balanced state budget. Because of your interest in the ouestion of state aid to local government and lever limits, I hone-: you will. keep these facts n mind. - - Sincerely, John E. Haynes Staff Assistant for Taxation & School Finance JEH:msm 11 Estimates of Distribution or Gross __rni�s Taxes to Local Governments Attached are estimates of the amount of gross ea=nings taxes to be distributed to local governments in 1976 U:,:?cr Gov- ernor Anderson's proposed budget. `rhe proposal includes a re- turn of 10 0 of all telephone, railroad, to =egr_ ;:) and =re•i gni_' line gross earnings taxes and the remaining state share o= taconite railroad gross earnings taxes to local governments. The estimate is based on data supplie- by the telephone companies on the geographic origin of telephone gross earnings ' taxes. Most railroads have failed to provide the requested data which is necessary to ma;kle an estimate based on the distribution system used in the proposal. Therefore, the distribution used in the Knutson Report hay been used as the only available guide to a distribution of railroad gross earnings taxes. The Knutson_ Re- port was given by the railroad industry to the 1974- Legislature in support of the railroad industry's own bill. The figures shown are totals of the proposed distribu- tion of telephone, railroad, and the remaining state share of taconite railroad gross earnings tares. Telegraph and freight line gross earnings distributions are not included. This distribution is separate from and in addition •to the existing Local Government Aid law. CorLmunities which received gross earnings aids under laws abolished in 1973 t•�i 1.1 get this new aid as an addition to the exiEting Local Government Aid. Local Government Aid would continue to include a "grandfather" of the old gross *earnings distributions. school districts receiving a gross earnings distribution under existing law will continue to receive the aid. The funds for the school district distribution will come 'off the top" of the entire gross earnings distribu- tion rather than as a separate appropriation.

With your concurrence I would make a slide presentation summarizing space needs, site development concepts and then describe our recom- mendations on what we see as necessary ongoing activities to carry out a plan in the months ahead. There are several critical areas where further decisions are needed and where citizen input and participation would be very helpful in this process.
