MEMO TO: City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator May 16, 1974 SUBJECT: Wachtler Avenue Construction Between Marie Avenue and Valley Curve .As you may recall, the Council discussed the feasibility of constructing Wachtler Avenue several meetings ago. Originally only a water connection and associated grading was planned between the two streets. Later, however,,it appeared that a complete street and thirty foot driving surface should be constructed. I must now bring to your attention the fact that the two properties abutting Wachtler Avenue were not notified as to additional assessments that they may receive because of this construction. The original notice of improvement did not include the construction of the street on Wachtler Avenue and no one was given notice as to this proposed public improvement, hence the need for a supplemental hearing to publicly discuss this matter. Ed Kishel has informed me that the two properties abutt Wachtler Avenue in the amount of 131 feet on the west side and 192 feet on the east side. Figuring 25% as the accepted sideyard assessment for streets, this amounts to some 33 feet of assessment on the west side and 48 feet of assessment on the east side. Based on an assessible rate for a residential street of $8 to $10 per assessible foot, the cost would amount to approximately $300 on the west side and some $450 on the east side. Ed has informed me that the cost of street construction would be about $4,000 for the approximate 200 feet of length between Marie and Valley Curve. It seems that there should be some discussion on this matter in order to comply with, and be consistent with past practices of assessing side yardage for street construction. Although it may appear that the construction of this segment of Wachtler is somewhat incidental to the construction of Marie Avenue, it is a public facility and similar types of streets and side yardage have been assessed in the past and should be assessed in the future. If we are to continue this practice it will be necessary to establish a hearing involving these two properties informing them that additional assessments on Wachtler Avenue are imminent. This additional hearing is necessary because of the decision to proceed with a public improvement on Wachtler Avenue, a concept that was not specifically discussed at the Marie Avenue hearing. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: City Council May 16, 1974 FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Street Scarifying and Oiling Maintenance On May 7 the Council discussed the several possibilities and levels of street maintenance. At that time you requested that a proposed list of streets be prepared which could most advantageously use a scarifying and oiling process for "major" maintenance. The following eighteen streets are in a condition that could best be scarified and oiled to provide a semblance of bituminous surface and provide relatively good dust control. The following list then is submitted for your consideration for a "current service" type of assessing procedure. Butler Ave. Diego Lane, Esther Lane Furlong Junction Lane Kendon Lane Kirchner Avenue Lakeview Avenue Mayfield Hts. Road Miriam Ave. Pierce (Hiawatha) 1 Rogers Road Simard Street Spring Street Swan Lane Valley Lane Winston Ct. Between Esther Lane & Ivy Hill Drive if Winston Ct. & Miriam Street It Butler Ave. & Junction Lane East of T.H. 55 " Chippewa Ave. & Esther Lane East of T.H. 55 " Butler Ave. & Esther Lane East of T.H. 55 South of T.H. 13 !West of Chippewa Avenue South of Garden Lane East of T.H. 55 " Chippewa Ave. & Miriam Street Southwest of Butler Avenue " Wagon Wheel Trail & Cheri Lane it Butler Avenue & Kirchner Avenue to Cul -de -Sac and Diego Lane The total length of these segments amounts to 11,770 feet. In preparing work sheets for the previous maintenance report submitted to you, it appears that scarifying, oiling and rolling will cost some $750 per thousand feet. This project, then, based on that figure would cost r Street Scarifying -2- May 16, 1974 $8,850, or for round figures, call it a $10,000 maintenance project. The ordinance and type of "current service" procedure as suggested by Attorney Winthrop last meeting is Ordinance Number 61. This of course is consistent with state law and does require the one hearing. Mailed notices are not sent out, but the notice of the proposed work, the list of streets and the estimated cost must be published in the legal newspaper at least two weeks prior to the hearing date. It is assumed that this type of service and its minimal cost will be assessed on a one-year basis. There are approximately 139 residences abutting the 11,770 feet of property. This of course does include some undeveloped lots and property between the dwellings. Since this is a service to the residents (as opposed to absentee land owners) the easy and practical matter is to assess the cost against only the residents. Using the figure of.$10,000 and 139 residents, the cost amounts to approximately $72.00 per dwelling. It is anticipated that City crews would perform most of the labor, but we would need to contract for the bituminous material and some equipment rental. Any expenditure over $5,000 needs to be bid competitively (formal bidding). If some of the segments are deleted at the hearing, due to extreme opposition, it may be feasible to perform the work by "day labor" process, merely by getting quotes on the oil and equipment rental. If the entire project is ordered in, we would probably have to take bids on the oil, which would add several weeks to the process. I would suggest holding the hearing on June 18th or 25th.

(612) 222-2861 The Board of Directors is recommending that the Suburban League and the Metropolitan League be reformed into a single organization in accordance with the attached by-laws. For the past several weeks a joint negotiating committee comprised of representatives of the Suburban League and the Metropolitan League, Duane Miedtke, Clyde Allen, Jim McDonald, Bob Riggs, Elliott Perovich, Bruce Nawrock, Don Poss and John MaLone, have been discussing the possibility of bringing the two organizations together. After several meetings and discussion papers the joint negotiating committee has recommended that the two organizations be reorganized in accordance with the attached by-laws. The actions of the board were: first, to authorize the negotiating committee to meet to explore the possibility, second, to approve of a basic set of policy objectives developed by the Committee, and thirdly to receive the recommendation of the joint negotiating committee, to endorse it, and recommend the formation of the new organization to you the members. As a participant in the negotiations I can say that although at times the negotiations were trying but at all times they were carried on in a cooperative spirit with an objective of working for the best interests of the municipalities here in the Twin Cities area, and to build on our experiences, strengths and successes. Some of the reasons for forming the new organization are that it gradually became apparent that in the long run the vast majority of municipal issues have equal impact on both central city and suburb, that both are vitally linked together. In the majority of cases both organizations have been covering much of the same ground with the legislature and the metro- politan agencies. By bringing the two organizations together we will eliminate this duplication. But the overwhelming reason for moving in this direction is the potential realization of a significantly expanded program over what the Metropolitan League can provide at the present time, with little overall increase in cost to the municipalities. We will see twice as many staff persons available to work in the interests of municipalities with the political bodies in the metropolitan community. By eliminating the duplication we Page 2 we will also be eliminating the need to spend time and effort to coordinate strategies and tactics among leagues. We will all be pulling together. The by-laws as prepared by the negotiating committee represents what we consider to be a sound proposal and recommend them to you for adoption. In addition there is enclosed a proposed budget for the new organization which we are also recommending. Membership dues necessary to support the budget will be approximately what they were last year except that there will be a new minimum dues charge. A schedule will be distributed at the annual meeting. President Duane Miedtke and President -Elect Clyde Allen of the Suburban League are sending a similar letter to members of the Suburban League, which will also be meeting the same evening to consider this proposal. Finally, I would urge that you have as many representatives as possible at the annual meeting to participate in the discussion of this very important question. It is of utmost importance to your community and local government in this metropolitan community. Sincerely, Elliott Perovich, President EP/eb (Please distribute to mayors and councilmen) BYLAWS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES As adopted on ARTICLE I. NAME Section 1.

With all the past opposition from Mendota Heights on a County Highway Improvement Plan, this came as a pleasant surprise. The County Board discussed the proposal at the May 14th meeting and the general consensus, along with•the Highway Department, was that the whole mile'should be done between #13 and #110. We instructed the Highway Department to contact you people and see if something can be worked out. Thank you for forwarding the resolution to me.

Radabaugh a City , Clerk I City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Office Mendota Heights, Minn. 55120 i - 3 Dear Mr. Radabaugh, R As I will be out of town on Tuesday, Tune ll, -I will be unable to attend the public hearing on proposed street improvements for Walsh'Lane and Kay Avenue. I am in favor of the proposed improvements for the following reasons: The main water and sewer truck lines have been installed on these streets for 4 or more years and as a result a solid road bed now exists for installation of a bituminous surface. After the water and sewer lines were installed a considerable amount of rock and gravel was laid in and a base foundation now exists.., In addition, all lots on both Walsh Lane and Kay Avenue with one exception have been built on. There should be no need for any tearing up of the street for future construction reasons. Therefore, the street should be ready for improvement at this time. Walsh Lane and Kay Avenue have had patch work repairs at least 3 times this year already. While this is helpful in removing the worst chuck holes it is only a temporary' solution. Permanent surfacing will save j both the township's and the tax payers' money in the long run. Combining the surfacing of Walsh Lane and Kay Avenue with other street repairs at the same time will probably result in cost savings. A bituminous surfaced street will create a more attractive neighborhood environment, permit easier and safer driving, easier street snow plowing and maintenance, and will enhance property values generally. It has been 18 years since I built my home on Walsh Lane. With our home so close to the center of our Twin City Metropolitan district, it is time to step up from tar and gravel streets. For the above reasons I am in favor of the proposed project. Sincerely, '- Vernon A.

Dear Mr. Huber: It is our understanding that the selection criteria for Federal Aid to Urban Projects are being considered for revision in order to provide a more equitable method of allocating available funds. At its regular meeting of May 20, 1974 the St. Louis Park City Council passed a resolution requesting the Technical Advisory Committee and the Transportation Board of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area to modify the selection criteria for Federal Aid to Urban Projects. A copy of that resolution is enclosed for your information. Your support for the modification of these criteria in line with the recommendations of this resolution would be most appreciated. cc Enclosure BY DIRECTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL Chris Cherches City Manager 9 MAY 20, 1974 11B RESOLUTION NO 53 0 6 5 RESOLUTION REQUESTING A TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THE TRANSPORTATION BOARD OF THE TWIN CITIES METROPOLITAN AREA TO MODIFY THE SELECTION CRITERIA FOR FEDERAL AID TO URBAN PROJECTS (FAU) WHEREAS, an equitable way upon which to select FAU projects, taking into account the entire needs of the metropolitan area and the ability to pay for circulation -transportation facilities, must be ensured, and WHEREAS, a restructuring of the criteria would allow a more equ2able use of FAU funds in the metropolitan setting consisting of numerous munici- palities, several counties, a metro transit commission, and the State Highway Department, and . WHEREAS, under the current criteria many communities in the metropolitan area may not receive any funding, while at the same time their transportation problems continue to grow and their ability to fund needed projects diminish, therefore BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park that the criteria for FAU projects be modified as follows: 1. Funds be distributed by a formula based on, the needs, geographic area, population, and/or trip generation of identifiable urban areas including suburban.municipalities. 2. That projects be selected in terms of z the benefit accrued based* on the numbe:& of dollars spent, and that benefits be evaluated in terms of broad criteria including safety, efficiency, aesthetic considerations, implementation of community plans and metropolitan plans and expansion of opportunities or transportation modes to more services. 3. That the criteria be set up to ensure that a certain percentage of funding is available for various categories of projects, such as TOPICS type projects, regional and municipal thoroughfares, etc: Attest: Gity Clerk Reviewed for dm'*lnistratio'n:' ity 1v anagg!

All Ayes._ CASE NO. 74-8, Mr. Lavigne was present to explain his LAVIGNE request for a variance of one foot for a swimming•pool and a variance to continue a chain link fence around the pool. Wheeler moved to recommend granting a variance of one foot for the pool and a variance to section 4.8 (2)c to continue a 6 foot fence. Seconded by Clemens. All Ayes. CASE NO. 74-100, Mr. Bruce Odlaug, representing Mr. Sprafka, SPRAFKA was present to explain -Mr. Sprafka's application for subdivision of six acres of property located west of the Ivy Hills plat. Mr. Odlaug explained that the land is proposed to be divided into three parcels; A,B,and C, in accordance with the land survey. They would like Parcel A to be purchased by Mr. Tesar to construct a house. The property is served by Woodridge Drive and there -is an existing driveway through the property to serve the Sprafka residence. The same driveway is proposed for. theTesar.'s access onto Woodridge Drive. Barbara Lukermann gave a brief presentation indicating her concerns and that this request should be considered under Ordinance No. 2. Tract A is the most crucial parcel at this time as it is the parcel Mr. Tesar wants to purchase to build his home. Tract C is not considered buildable because there is no access to streets. Sewer and water is available to the lots. Barbara Lukermann's main concern is the sharp drop off on the property toward Highway 13 and she suggests a 30 foot side yard set back between the two -residences when the building permit is issued. Harvey Bream was also present with house plans and topographic maps for the Tesar's proposed home. -2 - Chairman Ridder and Barbara Lukermann explained that technically under Ordinance No. 21 a Public Hearing is not necessary. Clemens moved to recommend approval of the application for subdivision Seconded by Wheeler. All Ayes. Mr. Johnson advised Mr. Odlaug research special assessment records. CASE NO. 74-111 Dr. Storm was present to explain his VACATION OF WACHLER AVE. request for vacating Wachler Avenue between Hilltop Road and Valley Curve Road. All existing properties have access without using Wachler Avenue, using Valley Curve Road, Elb Lane and Hilltop Road. Member. Stefani commented on this Avenue giving•access to Valley Park and suggested recommending this to the Park Commission or Trails Committee to save about 15 feet for trails. Wheeler moved the vacation be recommended to the Council subject to comment from the Park Commission and Trails Committee. Seconded by Stefani. All Ayes. CASE NO, --74-7, Representatives were not present to SCFjPAK ELECTRONICS explain their request for a sign, _ variance. Wheeler moved recommending disapproval of sign variance. Seconded by Stefani. All Ayes. CASE NO. 74-917 Representatives were not present `to LAWRENCE SIGNS explain their request for a sign in the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center for Venture Travel. However, Culliqan moved recommendation for approval of the sign. Seconded by Clemens. All Ayes. CASE NO. 74-121' Mr. James Riley was present to explain RILEY his request for a pre -application review of the Bancroft -Thera property to.construct a home. There are approximately 35 acres involved, the average lot size being one half acre and the smallest lot being 15,000 feet. Mr. Riley would build and develop the property personally. Mr. Riley wants opinion of the basic layout of the road system within the property. Barbara Lukermann gave her opinion on having cul-de-sacs for privacy instead of having lots facing proposed Emerson Avenue extension, which would be the main carrier of traffic. The general concensus of the Planning Commission is that the broad concept was in keeping with accepted practices and that he could pro- ceed with further platting process. COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Johnson presented the draft of the plat approval ordinance from Dakota County. Pointing out the different sections for discussion. The Commission suggested that Chairwoman Ridder and Mr. Johnson propose a letter to let the County know of their disapprovals in hope that the Council adheres this letter and reacts as the Planning Commission has, also in the form of a letter. -3 - The Planning Commission recognized the letter received from Sheehy Construction Company in reference to the Farmers Insurance Sign in the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center.

CEV/bjg cc: Bruce Odlaug Very truly yours, C. E. Von Feldt., Trustee -1 May 28, 1974 Mendota Heights Planning Report CASE: 74-10 Sprafka - Approval of R.L.S. Tracts A, B and C BACKGROUND DATA The subject property contains approximately 6 acres; is located immediately west of the Ivy Heights Plot; and is provided with public access from Wood- ridge Drive in that plat. T.H.,13 and thi creek bed bound the property on the northwest and south. (see sketch) The property was previously platted as part of the.Ivy Hill Falls Addition and the Sprafka residence buili on.old block 13. Access to.the Spra*fka residence is from a blacktopped private driveway leading from Woodridge Drive.., Tract A in the R.L.S. ' is slightly under I acre and will share access with the Sprafka residence as described above. Tract B would contain the existing residence. Tract C is not provided with any public access and is thus not a buildable lot. Old Block 14 remains between the R.L.S. and the creek bed, not provided with public access, and not owned by the applicant. t PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS I Since the old plat was vacated prior to the initiation of R.L.S. the re- quest technically falls within the jurisdiction of the Land Subdivision Ordinance rather than the Short Plat (ordinance 80). The Land Sub- division Ordinance does not require a public hearing before the Plan- ning Commission, while the Short Plat makes this a condition prior to approval . Processing of this request, therefore, may be accom- plished without a hearing but with due consideration of the design features of the R.L.S. in providing for standard, buildable home sites and meeting the overall requirements of 'the community in subdivided areas. (See section 3.27 of the Subdivision Ordinance) 2. Tract C is clearly not a buildable lot and protective covenants as described in section 4.6 in the Land Subdivision Ordinance should so state. 3. Tract A will be provided with access from a public street, with the I L y� M existing private driveway contained with in the tract. While the tract's acreage is larger than a minimum lot, part of the tract is unbuildable with a steep bluff to T.H. 13. Buildable portions of the site are limited to the eastern part of the tract, adjacent to the existing residence on lot 1, Block 1 of the Ivy Heights Plat. Any application for a building ,permit for Tract A should be accompanied with topographic data indi- cating the buildable portions of the site and provision for a 20 foot minimum distance separating any proposed residence from the residence on lot 1 (see accompanying photographs to illustrate the present character of the property). 4. The subject property is provided with municipal sewer and water with a 13" water main and 9" sewer main available to the site. 5. Tract B contains over 3 acres of the subject site, but is limited to the one access point from Woodridge Drive•and should remain as a single tract. 6. Old block 14 south of the R.L.S, and the creek bed has become totally landlocked with the vacation of the old plat. No use of this property other than preservation of the open space along the creek bed is seen because of its location and topography. t Gf/�gcHTG��t° War. i/.gug7io.J <pe k on SU Z r MARE I I AVENUE WiL,low CM f —• Y LU ROAD IL H i G H w g Y 110 r I dc� � { (Draft} Dakota County Board of Commissioners Re: Proposed County Platting Ordinance Gentlemen: 4 The Mendota Heights Planning Commission discussed the proposed platting ordinance at it's regular meeting on Tuesday, May 28. The members of the Planning Commission expressed their appreciation to County officials for continuing the hearing on the proposed Ordinance. We hereby submit recommendations on how the platting procedure should involve county interests. It was noted=during the discussion that several County functions are indeed affected by land uses along County roads. Controls over such land uses should reflect the nature of County roads, Namely a thoroughfare bearing through traffic. Several bad conditions along County roads in the immediate area were discussed and it is readily acknowledged that unsatisfactory circumstances could be avoided through modifications and changes during the platting process. The Commission members reviewed both the Special Law, Chap 416 authorizing platting approval, and your proposed ordinance. It was noted that the present platting process involves total municipal involvement and that the proposed County ordinance would duplicate such a process. We believe this duplication of governmental to be a continual source of disagreement among governmental personnel, and lastly, totally confusing and frustrating for people involved in the platting process. Specifically, we would call to your attention several items for discussion. Section 31 Building Permits. Who is really responsible for \-Eo—]Cd—inholdih,gilpibuildxn*gt'p'-ermits? Is it the applicant, the municipality; or the County? It seems to us that a much more workable process could be developed, if in fact the County should be invloved in the actual building permit issuance process. What criteria are to be developed and used in approving or disapproving building permits if the County is involved in this process? Section 41 Enforcement. It is our understanding that the Dakota County'Plat Committee is composed of various county officials, both elected and appointed, to review plats, as to form and technicalities. Is it practical to have such an ordinance or process "administered" by a Dakota County Plat Committee? -2- Section 5, Municipalities. Although this section appears to be rather innocent, the "decision of the Board of County Commissioners shall be final" appears to take away all municipal controls over land uses along County roads. In fact, a liberal interpretation would indicate that the controls would be exerted by the County on "proposed County roads" as found in Section 3. This appears to be totally unworkable. In lieu of the ordinance and its provisions, we respectfully request that the past practice of municipal hearings be continued but add a process or two that would more intimately and meaning- fully involve County officials in the process. We would suggest that an agreement be reached with all municipalities wherein County officials would be involved in the early discussions of plat devel- opment. This could be accomplished by requiring the developer to submit preliminary information to the County. -as well as the municip- ality. Then as the discussions progress, the proper county officials would and should be involved as the plat is modified or changed. Finally, we would suggest that prior to the final municipal adoption that the County be notified of said hearing and submit comments for Council consideration during final discussions. If platting criteria and -road standards are properly developed and considered during the planning process, it seems logical that 99% of any development problems can be worked out cooperatively during the several discussions involved in platting. We would urge your consideration of the above comments,and suggestions. Very truly yours, Mrs. K. Ridder, Chairwoman Mendota Heights Planning Commission RECEIVED t MAY 2 71974 t. MEMORANDUM TO: MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL FROM: KEVIN P. HOWE, Chairman, Parks & Recreation Commission DATE: MAY 23, 1974 At our regular monthly meeting held on April 23, 1974, residents near the Marie Park site (Highland Heights) requested that we consider placing a fence around the pond in the middle of the Park. The great majority of the people present at the meeting strongly requested that we recommend to the Council that a fence be installed and indicated that the neighborhood would be willing to pay the cost. After considerable discussion, we moved to continue the discussion at our regular meeting to be held on May 22. Between meetings Commission members surveyed ponding sites and the municipalities of St. Paul, North St. Paul, West St. Paul, Edina and Bloomington to observe fencing policies and practices. Commission members visited ponds which included fenced 'and unfenced storm sewer ponds in parks and storm sewer ponds located near to and distant from recreational areas. Considerable discussion was held with Park officials from all areas. The Commission also requested that Lee Starr suggest some type of w barrier function which would be consistent with park and advisable by use of natural materials, .such as shrubs and bushes. Commission members found that in none of these villages was there a policy to fence every pond, whether it be in or near a recreational area or park. In all instances, fencing of ponding areas in the municipalities surveyed was limited to very few ponds with'steep slopes at the edge and deep dropoff at the waters edge. Discussion with officials indicated that in those cases where there was a fence, that fence maintenance was continuous and costly., It was difficult to maintain fences in proper condition because of vandalism. Frequently, portions of the fence were destroyed. As a result, the water area could be accessable by crawling under or through gaps in the fence. ' After considerable discussion at the May 22, 1974 meeting," the Commission passed a resolution to submit this report to the Council with our recommen- dations. Our recommendations are as follows: 1. The Council should immediately establish a policy as to all surface waters and holding ponds in the City. Based upon the Commission's study the Commission recommends that each ponding area or body of water within the city be judged on its own merits, consistent with the criteria of the metropolitan area. Consideration should be given to the slope grade, the depth of the water and dropoff. In developing any new holding ponds, it is, strongly recommended that the slope be gradual and when at all possible to develop a beachlike grade to avoid erosion and the risk of a child accidentally slipping and falling into deep waters. Based on the above criteria, the Commission recommends against fencing the ponding area on Marie Park. 3. The Commission is not opposed to a homerun type fence on the ball field at Marie. The fence could be a temporary homerun fence similar to the one installed during baseball season at 110 and Lexington or could be a hedge type planting 200 to 220 feet from home plate. For the convenience of the Council, we are attaching a sketch prepared by Lee Starr indicating how natural shrubs could be used to develop a barrier. We are certain that either Lee Starr or any Council member would explain the details of the sketch. ' NI We indicated to the residents of Marie Avenue that our report would ' include their request for a fence as well as our recommendations. W°e did not survey the area to determine the number of residents for or against fencing. We know there are residents in the area opposed to fencing and there is at least one resident on Victoria with property abutting the pond opposed. It is our understanding that the residents who desire a fence will request a hearing before the Village Council in June. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO.

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this day of , 1974. By ATTEST: G.M. Radabaugh Clerk -Treasurer CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Donald L. Huber Mayor 11 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 30, 1974 TO: City Council FROM: Chester Pearson Public Works Inspector SUBJECT: Carlson/Kirchert Sewer and Water Project I would like to advise you of the developments that have taken place over the last few weeks concerning the above project. As was deemed desirable we have obtained a signed waiver of hearing from Mr. and Mrs. Carlson and Mr. and Mrs. Kirchert. In accordance with the provisions of Resolution Number 74-35, 1 prepared a letter, copy of which is attached, for Mr. & Mrs. Kirchert to sign regarding the second dwelling on their property. I have had a couple of conversations by phone with Mr. Kirchert and it seems that he would be reluctant to sign the letter at the present time. I would feel that you may have a couple of options open to you. One might be that the project could be ordered in without taking the second house into consideration. Another might be that the project would be aborted. Even, though we do have a waiver of hearing it might be desirable to hold an informal hearing on this matter before planning a course of action. Another item I might bring to your attention regards the easement that would be necessary across the Paul Rhein property. I have talked to Mr. Rhein by phone about the easement required and he indicated to me that he would not be adverse to the easement, however, he would like to see in writing as to how he or a future owner would be protected during both the construction stage and thereafter if repairs were to be made. 1 May 24, 1974 City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 To Whom It May Concern: May this serve to certify that in accordance with Resolution Number 74-35 adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights that said improvements, if constructed, shall be constructed on the condition and subject to the understanding that the secondary dwelling presently situated upon the Kirchert property at 2294 Dodd Road will no longer be used as a dwelling when the present tenant moves from the property.
