Mayor Huber turned the meeting over to the City Administrator for a brief history and description of the proposed project. Ayes: 4 NaySz 0 Administrator Johnson stated that hearing notices had been published in the legal newspaper and oppies had been mailed to the property owners affected by the proposed improvements. He stated that the project would include sanitary sewer, water, street, curb and gutter, storm sewer and holding pond construction. He pointed out that•the holding pond is proposed to be located in the northwest corner of the plat. There will possibly be some trenching work across the Northern States Power Company property to the existing sanitary and storm sewer lines. The estimated costs for the project are as follows: sanitary sewer estimated cost of $60,000, or approximately $16.20 per foot; water, estimated at $47,500, or approximately $12.10 per assessible foot; storm sewer, including the ponding area; estimated total cost of $65,000, or $0.07 3/4 per square foot for the property within the Cherry Hills Addition plat and $0.03 per square foot for the assessment for the trunk line to serve the Wachtler property; streets, curb and gutters, estimated total cost of $82,000, or $22.10 per front foot.

Page 564 August 5, 1975 Councilman Gutzmer moved the adoption of Resolution No. 75-64, "RESOLUTION ORDERING CONSTRUCTION OF A WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, SANITARY AND STORM SEWER SYSTEMS AND OF STREET, CURB, AND GUTTER IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE CHERRY HILL SECOND ADDITION AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 75, PROJECT NO. 2)." Councilman Losleben seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 HIGHWAY STUDY City Planner Howard Dahlgren was present to discuss a proposal PROPOSAL to prepare a highway study for the City. Administrator Johnson pointed out that the matter had been briefly discussed at a Council meeting several weeks ago. Mr. Dahlgren stated that in view of the County's present favorable position on the County road system as it affects Mendota Heights and in view of the representation of Mendota Heights on the recently established transportation study subcommittee of the Transportation Advisory Board, it would he more appropriate to consider authorizing a highway study in the fall rather than at the present time. Mayor Huber stated that the City must present a position paper on highways to the highway study committee and recommended that the list of thirteen statements presented by Mr. Dahlgren be adopted as representing the objectives and interests of Mendota Heights. After a brief discussion, it was the concensus of the Council members that the position paper submitted by Mr. Dahlgren be supported, with minor corrections. COMMUNICATIONS The Council acknowledged and briefly discussed a letter from Mr. Harvey Bream regarding parking on Bachelor Avenue. The matter is to be considered after construction of Bachelor Avenue is completed. COUNTRY CLUB Administrator Johnson stated that as a result of a misunder- MARKET standing, neither Country Club Markets nor their sign contractor was present at the July 1 Council meeting to support their application for variance from the sign size requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. At that time, the Council only briefly discussed the application and appointed two Council members to serve as a committee to meet with the Country Club representatives and get additional information from them on the variance request. Mr. Naas, representing Country Club, stated that the request is for approval of a 320 square foot sign (4 foot by 80 foot) to be erected on the north side of the store. This size sigm would allow space for readable letters plus adequate space between the letters. Mayor Huber stated that the Zoning Ordinance limits the size of any single sign in a B-4 district to 100 square feet. He pointed out that he would find it difficult to support Page 565 August 5, 1975 such a large variance from the ordinance and asked if Mr. Naas would wish to change the request, reducing the size of the sign to bring it closer to the ordinance limitations. Mr. Naas stated that he could conform to the ordinance by installing smaller signs on three sides of the building. He stated that if the 320 square foot sign is not agreeable, he will have a sign installed on the west side of the building (conforming to the ordinance limitations) and would also like to put a sign on the Mendota Plaza pylon sign. However, he would much prefer the sign as requested and a small sign on the west side of the building. Mayor Huber pointed but that he would not be anxious to see additional advertising on the pylon, however, Country Club Markets could install a sign on the pylon if the total space used, including the present sign space, does not exceed 100 square feet. Several Council members expressed concern on the requested 320 square foot sign size, since all of the other signs in the Plaza conform to the ordinance. Mayor Huber asked Mr. Naas if he would consider reducing the variance request or withdrawing his present application and submitting a new one. Mr. Naas did not wish to do so. Mayor Huber moved that the application for a 220 square foot variance from the sign requirements of the Zoning Ordinance be denied. Councilman Losleben seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 75-11, Mr. Walter Mann, 1954 South Lane, was present to request MANN approval of his application to subdivide his lot. Public Works Inspector Pearson pointed out that there might be a potential drainage problem. He recommended that if the subdivision is approved, when the lot is developed the grading should be completed in a manner that would cause the drainage from the new lot to flow to the south, as is the case with the drainage pattern for the southerly portion of the present lot. The Council concurred with the Public Works Inspector's recommendation, and Mr. Mann stated that he will cooperate with the City and the prospective owner in correcting the drainage pattern. Councilman Wahl moved approval of the subdivision of Lot 3, Block 1, Jefferson Heights Addition (1954 South Lane), issuance of a building permit for the new lot to be conditioned upon adherence to the Public Works Inspector's recommendation on drainage. _ Councilman Gutzmer seconded the -motion. Ayes: 4 } Nays: 0 DUTCH ELM DISEASE Mr. & Mrs. H.S. Arrowood, 1771 Delaware Avenue, were present concerning the problem of Dutch Elm Disease. Mr. Arrowood stated that he has spoken to the Department of Agriculture and was told that there are matching funds available for the romoval of diseased.trees.

Administrator Johnson asked for some direction on how to proceed in cases where either the property owner refuses to remove a diseased tree or simply cannot afford the cost of removing a tree. City Attorney Winthrop stated that diseased trees should --be marked, and letters should be sent to the property owners advising them that they must remove the diseased tree within a certain'time period or the City will remove the tree and assess them for the cost. Mayor Huber stated that a policy should be established but that he would like to have some additional information on the legislation affecting the removal of such trees before establishing a policy.

CASE NO. 75-19, Mr. Fischer was present to explain his request for a garage FISCHER expansion which would have approximately 1100 square feet. He assured the Commission members that he wanted this space for his own personal vehicles and that he did not plan to bring any work home from his garage business. After a short discussion, R. Wheeler moved, seconded by Creceluis, that the 100 square foot variance be recommended for approval. Voting: All Ayes. CASE NO. 75-20, Mr. Perron was not present at this time.

CASE NO. 75-10, Chairwoman Ridder noted that this was the time and place for a BREAM hearing to consider the Bream subdivision north of Marie Avenue, and east of Wachtler. The preliminary plat was explained by Mr. Bream, noting several matters of special interest. These include a street alignment on the northwest corner to miss several large trees and changing of several iot sizes to accommodate the street change. H. Dahlgren discussed the possible vacation of the cul-de-sac in Somerset No. 2 for the benefit of several members of the audience. Mr. John Langenbrunner, 796 Bachelor Avenue, owner of the exception in the plat, inquired about his house being too close•to Bachelor. The answer: that will be considered when sewer, water and street hearings are held in the future. Another neighboring resident asked Mr. Bream about a retaining wall along the easterly edge south of Sutton Lane. Those details are to'=be worked out in the" future. J. Stefani asked about the Park and Recreation Commission's response to the park contribution as proposed, which involves two outlots equal to -over ten percent of the area. It was noted that the Park and Recreation Commission have this matter on their agenda to be discussed on Wednesday, August 27. After furthe r discussion, Planning Commission -2- August 26, 1975 " L.

Mr. Sheehy explained that he did not have all the necessary information as requested by the City Planner, but asked that the preliminary sketch be accepted so that the McDonalds conditional use permit could be considered. H. Dahlgren explained the need for a new total concept plan since the old plan involving highway modifications appeared to be out of date at the present time. Several of the Commission members questioned Mr. Sheehy and Mr. Berg on traffic channelling in the Center area. Noting that they felt channelling was needed and no plans had been presented. Several Commission members expressed concern on anticipated traffic problems and traffic increase on T.H. 49. Another question: is the subdivision survey and the drainage plan of the same description. H. Dahlgren answered that it was "getting closer". Due to the number of questions and unresolved issues, R. Wheeler moved, second by L. Crecelius, that the hearing be continued to September 23 and that Sheehy, Berg and Dahlgren meet to iron out the unresolved matters. Voting: All Ayes.

The Commission members questioned Mr. Koenig as to his construction schedule. He indicated he would like five years in which to personally build a house on Lot 6. Other discussion involved possible renting of the second house, which was not acceptable. After further discussion, R. Wheeler moved, seconded by L.

Perron 938 Lilydale Road, St. Paul, MN East of Trunk Highway 55 (see sketch) Division of a Lot 1. Mr. Perron proposes to move from Lilydale where his house is being acquired by the Ramsey County Open Space Program, to Mendota Heights on a parcel of land which would be the northerly one hundred twenty (120) feet of the existing property occupied by his mother, Barbara Perron. 2. The existing Perron property as shown in the copy of the survey attached, has a north -south dimension of two hundred seventy-two (272) feet. Mr. Perron is seeking division of the land into two lots with a north -south dimension of one hundred twenty (120) feet and one hundred fifty-two (152) feet. At such time as additional right-of-way is required for Highway 5'5 and the construction of a service road on the east side, this would produce two single family lots of approximately 1.47 and 1.4 acres each. 3. The proposed division of the existing lot (Lot 36) can be accomodated under the subdivision regulations under Section 11.3 (1) states that the Planning Commission and Council can exempt an applicant from the full requirements:: of the subdivision regulations wherein the division of an existing lot is contemplated wherein neither of the two lots thus created would violate the minimums of -the subdivision regulations or the zoning ordinance. The proposed subdivision of land exceeds the minimum frontage, lot area, and setback requirements. 4. Subject to deleterious conditions of which we are not aware, .there would appear to be no obstacle to the development of the land as proposed.

August 26, 1,975 PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: _ APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 75-10 Bream Homes, Inc. Between Marie Avenue and Bachelor, west of Sutton Lane Approval of Preliminary Plat 1. The members of the commission will recall that in June of this year a variety of sketches were presented to the Planning Commission suggesting trays in which the Bream Property could'be developed. The sketches emphasize the possibility of extending a street north to Bachelor Avenue at the northwest corner of the site with the intent of ultimately tying the alignment into Wachtler Avenue, one quarter of a mile north of Bachelor. These sketches were furnished to Mr. Bream who elected to pursue one of the proposals involving the extension of Wachtler Avenue approximately as shown on the sketch at the left.- - 2. At the July meeting of the Planning Commission, this concept was reviewed and generally approved by the Planning Commission subject to the conduct of the required public hearing for the preliminary platting process and the determination of the exact -alignment of Wachtler at the far northwest corner of the site where it meets Bachelor Avenue. 3. Since the July 'meeting of the commission, your consultant has walked the property with Mr. Bream and determined the location of several large trees at the northeast corner of the park property (west end of Bachelor Avenue). We have determined that ending the roadway so as to -place the center line of -the roadway at Bachelor'Avenue ori the section line, will avoid two' "1arge'trees that exist on the park property immediately to the west of.. the proposed street. Mr. Bream and your planning consultant agree that this is the appropriate - location for the road. Mr. Bream has accordingly filed his preliminary plat indicating this alignment. 4. The plat now consists•of a total of twenty-four (24) lots as shown in the sketch at the left. Mr. Bream proposes -to dedicate parcels A and B totalling 72,95.4 square feet. Ten percent (10%) of th-e gross site of 620,000 square feet would be equal to 6?,000 square feet. ldhere Wachtler Avenue extends 'into the park area at the far northwest corner of the. site, an -additional 5,400 square feet of right -of -%,ray is involved beyond which would normally been dedicated had the road been on the section line -itself. Subtracting this 5,400 square feet from 72,954 - square feet leaves a net dedication*of 67,554 square feet. This exceeds the ten percent required in the subdivision regulations. Case Number: 75-10 August 26, 1975 Page Two I 5. Mr. Bream in his plat proposes to dedicate an additional forty (40) feet for Marie Avenue and thirty (30) feet for Bachelor Avenue:.on the north side of the property. As you know, Bachelor Avenue cannot be built to its full width at this point because the exception (owned by others) on the north side of his plat extends into Bachelor Avenue. As a matter of fact, the house itself, extends into the future right-of-way. At some point in the future it is anticipated the City will either have to bend Bachelor Avenue northward into the golf course,area, or make some arrangement with the property owner to move or acquire the house to provide adequate right-of-way for.Bachelor Avenue. At the moment, the-City has improved Bachelor Avenue (or is in the process) of improving Bachelor Avenue and installing utilities down to the northeast corner of the Bream property. At this point, as reported at the last Planning Commission meeting, the City will narrow the proposed street improvement to fit the existing gravel road basically constructed on the northerly thirty (30) feet of.Bachelor Avenue*'right-of-way as shown dedicated on the sketch with this report. 6. We suggest that the proposed plat and its street alignments best serve the area in question, and provide for the future development of a public street system connecting Wachtler Avenue with the west end of Bachelor achieving the public exposure to the park system without the •cost of the City paying for a half of street right-of-way and construction costs all the way from Marie to Bachelor Avenue (a distance of one quarter mile). _ a r.9• • SUBJECT PROPERTY - ` 4 I f t 4a i - J , CASE NUMBER. 75-10.'

Huber and City Council FROM; Kevin Howe, Chairman RE: Bream Plat Gentlemen: At the Park Commission meeting on Wednesday, August 27, the Park Commission reviewed the proposed Bream plat which will be sent to the Council for consideration at its September 2 meeting. The Park Commission liked the basic concept and found the treatment of the road pleasing, however, the Commission had a very strong feeling that Outlot A and Outlot B were useless as far as park or open space contributions were concerned. Therefore, the Park Commission passed a resolution requesting that the City Council consider a monetary donation in lieu -of a donation of the land. Since there will be approximately twenty-four families moving into the Somerset Addition, the dollar contribution could well be used to improve the Valley Park which will be adjacent to the development. I will be out of town on Tuesday, but a representative of the Park Commission, Liz Witt or Maddy Shipman, have indicated they will be at the meeting.

Koenig 650 Brookside Lane, Mendota Heights, MN Southeast Corner of Brookside Lane and Laura Street Approval to Build"on 60 Foot Lot and a Variance to Side Yard Setback PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Mr. Koenig lives in the house on the first lot at the corner of Brookside Lane and Laura Street. He proposes to build:a new house on the second lot (the easterly of the two lots shown on the attached sketch). The proposed new home would have a frontage of forty-two (42) feet with a ten (10) foot setback on the east side, with an eight (8) foot setback on the west side. Each of the lots in question have sixty (60) feet of frontage. 2. Attached to this report is a survey indicating the proposed location of the new house and the location of.the existing house. 3. At a later point, Mr. Koenig proposes to add a twenty-two (22) foot garage to the westerly side of the new home. At this time he would remove the existing home on the westerly sixty (60) foot lot. The new home would then occupy both lots for a frontage of one hundred twenty (120) feet. To;accomplish this development program, Mr. Koenig needs a variance to the ten (10) foot side yard setback (eight feet (8) proposed) and permission to build on a sixty (60) foot lot. As all of you know, the minimum lot size in•this City is one hundred (100) foot of frontage. The ordinance states that if a lot meets 70% of this requirement, it is deemed a buildable lot and can be processed by the building inspector without approval of the Planning Commission and Council. A sixty foot lot obviously does not meet this requirement and therefore requires approval by the Planning Commission and Council as has been processed on many occasions in the past. 4. It would appear that Mr. Koenig is sincere in his attempt to ultimately achieve a new house occupying one hundred twenty (120) feet of frontage on Brookside Lane. We suggest that the Commission and Council ascertain the facts outlined in this proposal and assuming justification appears warranted, seriously consider the applicant development concept as proposed.

The existing house is forty-eight(48) feet by twenty-eight(28) feet with an eleven (11) foot long connection to a twenty-eight (28) by twenty-two (22) foot garage. Mr. Fischer proposes to add a twenty-two (22) by twenty-two (22) foot addition to the garage which would produce a total garage area of fifty (50) feet by twenty-two (22) feet or eleven hundred (1,100) square feet-. 2. The zoning ordinance states that a garage cannot exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet unless approved by the City. The purpose of this request is to prohibit the development of large industrial type shop areas or the commercial development in a single family zone. Mr. Fischer indicates that his desire is to store his cars, boats, and other paraphernalia in the expanded garage. 3. In view of the extremely large site for a single family home, it would appear that the development of a garage area one hundred (100) feet in excess of the one thousand (1,000) square feet described in the ordinance is not a significant problem here. The important thing"to ascertain at the public hearings is whether or not the applicant is in fact adding the garage for domestic storage and vehicular storage or whether or not some other ulterior motive is involved. We have no reason to suspect the latter. It is certainly true that many families today have in excess of two cars, boats, and a multiplicity of trailers and other equipment to be stored in a garage. For.many families there are good reasons to develop a garage larger than one thousand (1,000) square feet. Assuming sincere intent to provide additional domestic storage, there would appear to be no particular problem with respect to approving the applicant's request. We suggest however, that the stipulation of a maximum on one thousand (1,000) square feet remain in the ordinance in as much as it is a protection -against the infrequent homeowner who expands his garage for commercial purposes.

Herschbach 7610 Penn Avenue South, Richfield, MN LOCATION: Curley's Valley View Plat, Lot No. 14, Block No, 4, 2100 Patricia Street (See sketch) . ACTION REQUESTED: Variance to Lot Size PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Mr. and Mrs. Herschbach propose to construct on this lot a new home which measures approximately fifty-five (55) feet in width and thirty- nine (39) feet in depth; these dimensions include an attached double garage. Mr. and Mrs. Herschbach'desire to site -the building with fifty-five(55) foot length oriented generally in a north -south direction. 2. The subject as depicted on the attached sketch includes eighty-five (85). feet of frontage and one hundred twenty (120) feet in depth, identical to many of the other lots created in this subdivision. Many of these lots have been developed with very attractive, quality housing units with some variety as to the manner in which the structures have been oriented on the sites. This variety of building orientation adds to the overall aesthetic integrity of the neighborhood. 3. The subject lot consists of ten thousand two hundred (10,200)'square feet in area; Section 4.4 (1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the lot area or width of an existing lot of record be within seventy -(70) percent of the requirements of said ordinance to meet the minimum requirements for utilization as a single family detached dwelling site. The subject is three hundred (300) square feet less than required by this provision and therefore requires a variance in lot size. 4. In view of the overall dimensions of the proposed structure and existing lot, the required setbacks can be accomodated with virtually any orientation of the building. In consideration of this information, relative to building size, lot area and existing development in this neighborhood, it is recommended that the variance request be approved.

Huber and City Council FROM: Kevin Howe, Chairman RE: Tennis Courts The Park Commission hereby requests the Council to authorize the City administration to complete plans and advertise for bids to develop a tennis court.at Rogers Lake. This court is needed because of the demands placed already on the existing courts and more importantly, to service the people from the Curley Addition who have no park facilities in their immediate vicinity. We also request that the Council accept the purchase of the McGough property adjacent to the Ivy Falls Park. This acquisition is necessary to further develop that park for use by the residents of the north end of the community. We also request that the Council advertise for bids for development of tennis courts at Ivy Falls. This is needed again because of the demand on the existing parks, but more importantly, to service the residents from the northern part of the community. We feel that it is necessary to advertise for bids and begin construction on these tennis courts this fall so that the completion of the work can be done this fall in time for the 1976 spring and summer season. We request that the Council approve the Rogers Lake development first if there is any delay in the Ivy Falls purchase.

Huber and City Council FROM: Kevin Howe, Chairman RE: Archery Range The Park Commission have been reviewing proposals by interested residents to develop an archery range in one of the parks of the City. After considerable review, an area was found suitable for an archery range north of Apache Road,and near the Highway 49 right-of-way. John Larson, a resident, explained that the Jaycees would provide manpower for clearing the area. Larson indicated that he would develop a list of rules and maintenance plans for approval by the Park Commission upon completion of the range. The Park Commission requests that the Council authorize up to $300 to be made available for materials for development of the archery range. With the residents helping, the Commission feels this will be a fine addition to the park activities presently available. City involvement with voluntary assistance is consistent with the development of the hockey rinks and ski trails. The attached map_ shows the approximate location.
