LES:kkb V •��rrr�rr��..�.�rr��ttt t March 20, 1996 Boazd of Review 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, MN 55120 To whom it may concern: I am writing to appeal the assessor mazket value on my home at 803 Hazel Court, property I.D, number 27- 31900-060-00. I feel the assessed value is too high because of an unresolvable water leakage problem in the basement. I have taken a number of ineasures to correct the problem, i.e. landscaping, downspouts, "Beaver system". Although the dog can no longer swim in the basetnent, it remains damp much of the year and floods every spring. In addition, parts of my home date to the 1950's, many years older than neighboring homes. I would appreciate a reassessment of my properly. Thank you. Sincerely, � �G��(',c:,�� Catherine K.

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Dwyer, Betlej, Lorberbaum, Duggan and Tilsen. Commissioners Koll and Friel were excused. Also present were Public Works Director Jim Danielson, Planning Consultant Lynne Rabuse, Senior Secretary Kim Blaeser and Administrative Intern Patrick Hollister.

AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 CONTINUED HEARINGS: CASE NO. 96-08: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - SENIOR HOUSING Chair Dwyer explained that at their February meeting, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing to consider the senior housing Zoning Ordinance amendment. He explained that the Commission expressed a concern that the proposed amendment was for public subsidized housing and should not be allowed for private, market rate development. Dwyer explained that the Commission tabled consideration of the amendment until the March meeting to allow time for legal review. Chair Dwyer stated that Commissioner Friel had reviewed the amendment and submitted his comments in writing directly to all Commission members. He stated that the Mayor has also reviewed Commissioner Friel's comments and proposed amendments. Dwyer stated that the Mayor concurs with Commissioner Friel's comments if an exception would be allowed for 1 governmentally owned housing, and then oniy if the Council makes the legislative decision to do so. Chair Dwyer stated that Mayor Mertensotto has indicated that he would like the Planning Commission to make a recommendation on the HRA Senior Housing project tonight. Dwyer stated that the role of the Commission is to elicit opinions from the public and try to narrow the issues. He stated that he believes that this has been completed and that he believes the Commission should now make a recommendation to City Council. Commissioner Duggan stated that he would like to continue discussions on an Ordinance amendment even if it means that variances will be needed for the HRA project to proceed on to Council review. � In response to a question regarding minimum square footage for one and two bedroom units, Mr. Jay Nelson, of BRW Architects, stated that single bedroom units will be between 650 and 665 square feet and two bedroom units will be between 900 and 920 square feet. Commissioner Duggan stated he would like to see the two bedroom units be a minimum of 920 square feet. The Commission discussed the proposed ordinance and the fact that if the ordinance were amended the HRA proposal would not comply with the ordinance amendment and that variance approval would be necessary. Commissioner Betlej stated that the plan should be accepted subject to the listing of specific variances as it relates to the existing zoning ordinance. He stated that the proposed zoning ordinance amendment could be discussed at a later time. Chair Dwyer concurred and stated that it is unfair to entangle the HRA proposal with the City's good faith efforts in creating an ordinance amendment. Commissioner Duggan suggested that a representative from the HRA be included during the process of drafting a senior housing ordinance. He inquired if the City is even able to process this application under the existing guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. He wondered if the City is leaving itself open for legal problems. Commissioner Duggan moved to table discussion on the senior housing ordinance amendment. - A discussion ensued regarding the process of conducting a public hearing on zoning ordinance amendments. 2 Commissioner Duggan withdrew his motion. Chair Dwyer moved to withdraw the senior housing zoning ordinance amendment and to discuss a revised amendment at a later date. Commissioner Lorberbaum seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 CONTINUED HEARING: DAKOTA COUNTY HRA - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING, SUBDIVISION, CUP FOR MINING AND STRUCTURE GREAT THAN 25 UNITS AND WETLANDS PERMIT Commissioner Duggan referred to a letter submitted by Commissioner Friel to the Planning Commission regarding the senior housing project. He noted Commissioner Friel's interest in seeing to it that such housing provides adequate living space, adequate community space, adequate parking on an adequate parcel of land in a way that does not significantly and adversely affect adjacent properties and is consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. Duggan noted Commissioner Friel's concern over the amount and type of community spaces proposed for the new facility. Commissioner Duggan stated that an exercise facility should be included as community space rather than entry halls, lavatories, coatrooms, mailrooms, laundry and stairways. Ms. Kari Gill, Dakota County HRA, stated that the HRA does not provide an exercise room in their facilities but that some of the game rooms at the other senior housing projects in the County have added exercise equipment to these rooms. Commissioner Duggan stated that the calculations for community space include a large front porch, large front entryway and a large reception area. He stated that these spaces could be reduced to allow for additional room for an exercise area and larger units. He stated that these areas are not really considered community areas. Mr. Nelson responded that these common areas are considered a community areas. He stated that this senior housing proposal is different than a typical commercial proposal in that seniors like and want to promote community togetherness. He stated that the social organization and interaction of the residents in senior housing is important. Mr. Nelson stated that the proposed building will be larger 3 than the existing HRA senior housing buildings. Commissioner Tilsen stated that the community areas offers more space in the building and that the HRA is trying to substantiate the number of proposed units. Mr. Nelson stated that this is untrue and that he has had a lot of sensitivity to the City's ordinance. Ms. Gill stated that seniors will use the lobby areas for social interaction and that is quite different than a commercial facility. Commissioner Duggan stated that he would like to see the HRA "give a little" since the City is "giving a little". Ms. Gill stated that she will see if there is an opportunity to create additional space for the exercise room. Commissioner Duggan moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Lorberbaum seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Betlej moved to recommend that the City Council approve the senior housing proposal subject to the following: preliminary plat approval; the facility remain as senior housing in perpetuity; the facility remain as governmentally owned housing; that a minimum of 40 of the 65 units be available to low/moderate income and that the facility be operated for people 55 years of age and older and their spouses; that a comprehensive plan amendment be granted; that the zoning be �amended to an R-3 designation; that variances be granted to allow for the following: 1. Lot area: 2. Parking: 3. Unit Size: 4. Storage: To provide 65 units on 4.41 acres of land. To provide 55 internal parking spaces, 27 external parking spaces and 9 proof-of-parking.

Chair Dwyer seconded the motion. 4 � Commissioner Duggan inquired about storage space and whether there witl be adequate space under the R-3 Zoning designa#ion. Gommissioner Duggan offered a friendiy amendment by adding that a minimum of 1000 square feet be provided for an exercise room. Dr. Gregory L.ee, af the Dodge Nature Center, inquired about the variance process. He inquired about hardship and uniqueness. Chair Dwyer stated that there is a practical difficulty impedes the use of the property. Lee stated that he believes the HRA is asking for variances an a piece of praperty that they do not even awn. Chair Dwyer responded that the Planning Commission is recommending that the Council approve this requesfi because the proposed senior housing project is a proper use far this praperty. He stated that while there are inconsistencies wi#h the City's ordinance, the proposed use is a benefit to the City. Dr. Lee stated that Mr. Friet has informed him that the hardships are a resuit entirely to the presumption of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Yvette Mullen, 1664 Celia Road, stated that she is in favor of the request moving forward and that these deveiopments are aestheticaify pleasing. She further stated that these developments offer spacious homes and helps the iowlmoderate incame.

Chair Dwyer explained that Carmen Tuminelly had platted previously four lots off of a cul-de-sac called Carmen Lane. He explained that that plat accommodated the present home on the site and required minimal public improvements. Dwyer explained that previously Mr. Tuminelly with Mendota Homes had submitted a pre-application to the City to place a townhome development on the property. Dwyer stated that pre-application was not approved. C � Mr. Mathern expiained that the parcel of land consisfis of 3.49 acres wi#h proposed lots containing 15,OOa square feet or more. The eight lots are configured around a cul-de-sac which extends off of the Highway 110 frontage road. Mathern stated that #wo lots on the cul-de-sac invade on the front yard setback iLots 2 and 3). He explained that these lots wrap around the end of the cui-de-sac reducing the available building area. Ma#hern exp(ained that proposed housing pads have been provided as an example of buiiding size. He expiained that �ot 6 is a flag lot simitar to the lo#s previously approved with a 100-foot lot dimension about 60-feet back from the proposed street. Mathem explained that F�e is asking for a variance for width of the road right-of-way from the required 60 feet to a 55 foot wide. Ma#hern explained that this has been granted in other subdivisions in the City. Ne explained that the normal street section is proposed to be placed within the 55 foot right-of-way. Chair Dwyer inquired if Mr. Mathem has met with the Crown Poinfi neighbarhood residents. Mr. Mathern responded no. !n respanse to a qusstian from Chair Dwyer, Mr. Mathern stated that the price range fior these homes will be from �250,000 and up. Ne stated this prices includes the lot.

Mr. Mathern expfained that the existing brick house will be moved to Lot 8 and that #he garage wil! be reduced from a four car garage to a 2 car garage. He stated that the large brick house currently overwhelms the property and that by moving the house, will open the development. He stated that the brick will be painted to help tone down the house and be in keeping with the praposed neighborhood, Nlathern stated the basement wiH be filled in. Ma#hern explained that there will be a mix of one and two story hames with the homes on Lots 2, 3 and 4 having the ability o# creating waikouts. In response to a question firom Chair Dwyer, Planner Rabuse stated that the maximum length of a cul-de-sac, in Mendota Heights, is 500 feet. She explained that the proposed cul-de-sac wilt be 404 feet and located at the end of an existing cul-de-sac. Mathern stated that in order to meet the 15,000 square faot lot minimum, Lot 5 has a taii extending adjacent to Lot 8 that is nat usable but platted to 7 � obtain 15,000 square feet. He further stated that he would be willing to work within the parameters of the zoning ordinance regarding lot setbacks and lot width. Commissioner Tilsen stated that this proposal is too crowded. He stated there are too many variances and that the house pads shown are generous. He further stated that the developer is creating a longer cul-de-sac to satisfy his development. He stated that he believes the market to be much worse in selling 5250,000 homes in this area. Chair Dwyer inquired if variances are necessary. Mr. Matherri stated that Lots 2 and 3 are not an issue and that he would consider redesigning these lots. He stated that the right-of-way variance is necessary and that it has been done in the past. He stated that a full width street is being installed. Mathern stated he did not design the access of the property. Chair Dwyer suggested that the plat be reduced to 7 lots which would make the lots larger and reduce the number of variances. Mathern stated he was not sure this will work and that he does not understand the Commission's concern regarding the right-of-way variance because a full width street will be installed. Tilsen stated that the right-of-way variance pushes the houses closer to the street. Tilsen stated that shape of the lots create a crowed atmosphere. Commissioner Duggan stated that the original plat was approved as a four lot subdivision and that he does not want to change the plat. He noted his concern for the lack of sales with a 4 lot subdivision. Duggan stated that he would consider a 6 or 7 lot division without variances. Duggan inquired if any other designs had been considered. Mr. Mathern stated that they had reviewed other ideas which included a hammerhead cul-de-sac. Duggan inquired about the curve in the street. Public Works Director Danielson stated that it is not unusual to have a street extension off of an existing cul- de-sac. He stated traffic moves slow and with a full size street should, parking will be allowed on both sides of the street. Commissioner Tilsen inquired if the frontage road should be widened. Public Works Director stated that if the road were to be widened, the existing evergreen trees would have to be removed. He confirmed that the road width is substandard. Mr. Mathern stated that with the widening of the frontage road, the street would not only impact the evergreen trees but also encroach on the existing parcels of land. Additional right-of-way was discussed. Commissioner Betlej stated that two cars cannon pass on the road as it exists today. � � Commissioner Lorberbaum stated that Mr. Mathern had originally indicated, in a previous proposal for townhomes, that this site is not suitable for single family homes. Mr. Mathern stated that he does not believe the buyers have changed. He stated that he his trying to work within the City's parameters. Commissioner Lorberbaum inquired if there will covenants enforced. Mr. Mathern stated that most developments enforce covenants. Commissioner Lorberbaum stated that the price of the existing lots might have been an issue in why they did not sell to begin with. Mr. Mathern stated that the proposed price of the new lots will be between S70,000 and S 100,000. ' Commissioner Lorberbaum stated her concern for the length of the cul-de- sac and public safety issues. She further stated that she would rather see Lot 5 made a smaller lot than make it an irregular shape lot. In response to a question from the Commission, Mr. Mathern stated a silt fence will be in place to help control erosion. Commissioner Betlej inquired about the highway location and how it may impact the sale of property both in the past development and the proposed development. Mr. Mathern explained that the past development was designed in a pie shape. He stated that the highway impacted Lots 1, 2 and 3. He stated that with the proposed development, the front yards will be staggered and that the highway will not directly impact the front yards. He stated that additional plantings will also help. He stated that there was a poor design the first time through. He informed the Commission that he has people interested in Lot 2. A discussion ensued regarding additional landscaping for Lots 2 and 3 and the irregular size of Lot 5. The Commission also discussed shortening the cul-de-sac and how that might impact the size of Lot 4 and the possible need for a setback variance should the cul-de-sac be reduced in length. Chair Dwyer opened the meeting to the public. A resident from 879 Crown Circle, inquired about the cul-de-sac and length restriction. Public Works Director stated that the frontage road will need to be widened. The resident also inquired about the park trail and who would - pay for the trail improvements. He stated that the existing homeowners should not have to bear the burden of expenses. He also stated that $70.000 to 590,000 lot prices are excessive for this area. He also informed the Commission that a right turn lane needs to be address for traffic heading E � west bound on Highway 110 into the Crown Point neighborhood. A resident from 1981 Crown Point Drive, informed the Commission that he is also very concerned for safety and how the proposed development will increase the traffic. He further stated that he would like to see the proposed homes keep in character with the Crown Point neighborhood. Mr. Leitner, 897 Highway 110, stated that the frontage road is a real problem and that the City should address the safety concerns. He noted his concern for soil erosion and how the proposed development would affect his garden. He stated he would like a berm constructed to help the runoff. He noted his dissatisfaction with moving the existing brick house right next to his house. A resident from 1977 Crown Point noted his concern for the number of families that will move into the area and how it will create additional traffic hazards. Mr. O'Gara, Crown Point resident, stated that he was under the impression that the original four lot development would not be changed. He stated that the prices of the lots have been too excessive. He stated that he believes it will be a mistake to place eight lot in this development and the City should keep the development as a four lot plat. Chair Dwyer moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Lorberbaum seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Duggan suggested that the Commission table Mr. Mathern's request until City staff is able to determine if the frontage road could be widened without impacting the existing property owners. Commissioner Lorberbaum moved to recommend that the City Council deny the requested subdivision/preliminary plat and front yard setback and lot width variances. Commissioner Duggan seconded the motion. The Commission found that the City had approved this property as a four lot subdivision and that this is still an appropriate development size. AYES: 5 10 NAYS: 0 VERBAL REVIEW Public Works Director Danielson briefed the Planning Commission on recent City Council actions regarding recent planning cases.

Pou►r�o FCC' I»ur� OtLlr•r PirruiYUu�r Lv�ztl 2vittu�r Fur Sui:all S�{trllitr• Antennas; Further Preemption Is Expected Less than six weeks after local governments won a major victory in the Telecouimunicatious Act of 1996 preserving local zoni.ng authority over wireless telecommunications facilities such as cellular towers, the FCC has issued a triple- whainmy that goes in tlie opposite direction. The FCC has just adopted far- _ reaching rules that preempt most local government authority over satellite dishes. In addition, tlle FCC lias asked for comments on additional rules to implement Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act that, if adopted, would preempt nongovernmental restrictions such as covenants and homeowner association rules on satellite dishes. Finally, the FCC is expected to issue additional proposed rules later this week that will preempt State, local, and private restrictions on television antennas, microwave antennas, and similar devices. Pedtions for reconsider�tiori of th_e s�tellite 2oxi�g preemx�tioan order (FCC Q6 78 i�Duc:ke� 95-59�) xrr clue aI. li1G FCC by A�ril 17. Cuuuueuta uu ltic prupc�secl rules to preempt nongovernmental restrictions on satellite dishes are due on � �5 , and reply camments are due by �a,�6. The deadlines for comments on preemption of restrictions on other over-the-air reception antennas will be announced when the proposed rules are released. Key features of concem in the adopted and proposed rules includ.e: � i�IILLER� CAiYFIELD� Pe+►DDOCK AiW STONE� P.L.C. —�- 1. �l state or local zoning, land-use, building or similar regulations that materially limit transmission or reception by satellite earth station antennas, or - impose more than minimal costs on users of such antennas, are preempted unless the local government can demonstrate that the regulation is reasonable. 2. In order to be considered "reasonable," the zoni.ng or building regulation must 1�ave "a clearly defined health, safery, or aesthetic objective that is stated in �he text of the re,�ulation itself." (This means tl�at �1 current local zoni.ng requirements that do not state this purpose are automatically considered "unreasonable. ") But simply stating the local government's objective is not enough: the regulation must also actually further the stated health, safety or aesthetic objective "without unnecessarily burdeni.ng the federal interests in ensuring access to satellite services and in promoting fair and effective competition among competing commuuicatioiLs service providers." The above rule applies to all dishes, regardless of size. In addition: 3. For small satellite dishes of one meter or less located anvwhere in a community, and for dishes of two meters or less in commercial and industrial zones, � state and. local regu�lations that affect the installation, maintena.nce or use axe nresumed to be unreasonable amd. are �utomaticall��reempted on A�ril 17 lthe effective date of the new rules�. The rule forbids a local government from taking any civil, criminal, administrative or other legal action of any kind to enforce any regularion of below-one meter dishes unless and until the local government successfully petitions the FCC for a waiver of its rules. This means that, effective April 17, homeowners will be able to install dishes of one meter or less w e on their houses or in their yards -- even in historic districts -- unless the local government files and wins a waiver petition at the FCC. If you wish to file a reconsideration petition against these intrusive new FCC rules, the deadline is A�ril 17.

PE7ERSBURG, FLORIQA GDA(VSK POtAND � waasaw. �wo On Maroh i 1, 1996, the FCC released a Report and Order and Natice af Prvpvsed Rulemaking ("NPRM") on "Open Video Systems" ("OVS"}. A response is needed by �gril 1, the deadline for comments on the NPRM. Reply comments wilt be due April Zl. In the OVS nzlemaking, the FCC wiil deczde haw to imptement Section 303 of the Telecommunucations Act of 1996, creating new 47 U.S.C. § 653. This sectian allaws local exchange teleghone companies {"LECs"� ta provide cable service without a cable franchise, subject to the rules the FCC wi11 now establish. The OVS scheme -- a successor to the video dialtone scheme created by tfie FCC in 1991 -- poses serious dangers to Io�al franchising of both telco video and e�cisting cah�� systems, This is because OVS, as proposed in the NP'RM, may allow both LECs and eable companiss to escape the franctusing requirements of the Cable Act, depending on how the FCC structures the rules. In the NPRM, the FCC is praposing OVS rules so lenient ihat a LEC may be able to opsrate what is for all intents and purposes a cabie system, without a cable franchise. If this approach prevails, LECs are likely to use the lenient t�VS licensing to escape most of the obligatzons of a cable operator. Moreover, the FCC has also asked for comments on whether existing cable operatars should be allowed to become OVS ogerators. If so, it is possible that incumbent cable eornpanies may also try to eiude their cunent franchise abiigations by transfornung themselves into (?VS operators. Among other things, the NPRM proposes OVS rules that would allow an OVS operator: . � VIILLER, C.•1�YFIELD� FADDOCK Au'VD STOiVE� P.L.C. , ^�- PRIVILEGED AND CONFlDENTIAL ATTORiYFY W4RK PROOt1CT ATTORNEYlCLIENT COMMUNICATION • to set discrirninatory rates and conditions for unaffiliated programmers on their systems, similar to the very broad discretifln cable systems now have and unlike the common carrier approach of video diaitone. If OVS providers are allowed to discriminate in this fasluon» they will probably be able to effectively discourage use by unaffiliated programmers. As a result, the statute's requirement that an OVS grogramrner must make twathirds of its capacity availab3e to unaffiliated programmers, if demand exceeds capacity, will become meaningless. In practice the OVS operator will become a cable operatar, except that it will be exempted from the Cable Act franchisin� requirement. • to effectively contral all the programming on its system by picking and chaosing among potential programmers and offering such programmers` si�nals as part of its own programming package. • to exclude unaffiliated programmers except during a specified "enrollment period," and confine such pzogramm�rs to certain types of earriage {for example, digital rather than analog) or set maximum or minimum amounts of capacity far each programrner. • to escape imgosition of any FCC rales to ensure that unaff liated programmers are allowed access to OVS. The FCC may instead confine its�lf to reviewing grogrammers' complaints on a case-by-case basis. This approach� would ailow LECs to set conditions that wauld fend off potential competitive programmers for at least six months whiie the FCC reviewed such cases. • to satisfy its undefined PEG obligations under the statute by merely sharing with the existing cable operator the costs of existing PEG channels. In addition, the rules may allow a cable aperatar can become an OVS operator, in the interests of "competitive parity." � _ Notiung. in.che Act would prevent lacal communities from requiring that an QVS pravider obtain independent authority from the local government to use the public rights-of-way, in the form af a tetecommunications franchise ar license, if such an approach is consistent wi#h state and iocal law. The FCC, however, may well seek to preempt such local authoriry in its OVS rules. Franchising authorities must make ciear at the outset than any such attempt wouid be a taking of their pmperty under the Fifth Amendment and subject to legal action. We believe it is vital for looal cammunities to file comments and reply oomments in the FCC's rulemat:ing, to ensure that the stron,gest possible defense is made for local rights and authority. If you are interested. in participating in these comments, please contact Tim Lay or Rick Eilrod as soan as possible.

Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer SUBJECT: Levy and Revenue Base Comparisons . •� One of the many State surveys in the last few years determined a so called "Price of Government" target for future years. The AMM has recently completed a survey of local government spending proposed for 1996. The survey shows that for 1996, local governments are levying about 54,000,000 less than the target spending goals as determined by the State. (Where is the need for a property tax freeze?) ACTION REQUIRED None. This is for Council information only.

It has been represented by some business intemsts and legislators that city levies exceeded the "Price of GovemmenY' targets. As shown below and verified by the computer run tot�ls, this is not true.

In addition, the increases are not adjust,ed for po�xilation growth. For example, although C�anhassen shows a 13�0 levy growth and a 9.496 base growth, when adjusbed for a populafion increase, the msults are a 5.8�0 levy increase and only a 2.39'o base increase. The "Price of Govemment" targets included g�wtti and thus in the final analysis, cities were responsible in 1996 by staying below the target Graphs Spending and Revenue are analyzed for the period 1983 through 1993 and adjusted for inflation based on 1981 constant dollars. In the Spending Graph, note that city spending per capita decreased by 2.8�0, while all others increased spending. The second graph illustrates the reduction in federal and state aid and the msulting overall reduction in per capita revenue.

Heights Road. Mayor Mertensotto has been copied on a memorandum from Bob Monson, Superintendent of ISD-197, that includes copies of the schematic designs for the middle school building and site. It states that ground breaking is scheduled for June 1996 with occupancy expected in mid-7uly, 1997. Also, it is anticipated that NSP will install three metal power poles in place of the existing wooden H-frame poles. _ The Board of Education is looking for volunteers to serve on an ad-hoc committee that will recommend names for the future middle school. Anyone interested in serving on this committee is urged to contact Dr. Debra Pitton at 681-2397. Also enclosed for Council's review is a copy of a March 14, 19961etter from Mr. Chuck Stroebel, of the Minnesota Department of Health regarding concerns about electric and magnetic fields (EMI� at the Friendly Hills site. This copy had been sent to the City by Dr. Monson's office. ACTION REOUIRED Acl�owledge the submission of this information.

I am the primary contact at the 1Viinnesota Department of Health (IvIDI� tvho evaluates E1VIl� research and responds to related health concerns. Evidence to date for an association between EIV� exposure and adverse health effects is weak. The letter from Ms. Axeness to you dated November 2, 1995, reviews the reasons for this conclusion. The current consensus in the United States scientific community is that additional research is needed before making any definitive causal connections about health effects from IIV� exposures. � In your letter you cited recommendations from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Information provided by NCRP indicates that they do not have any recommendations on IIV� at this time (�,ttachment). The diaft NCRP report which you mention in your lexter was impmperly circulated before being peer reviewed or finalized. Therefore, the draft report has not been determined to reflect the consensus of NCRP, or any United States government policy on EMF. While recommendations on IIV� and the siting of schools have been made in Sweden, they have not been widely acr,epted internationally or in the United States. As you mention in your letter, these recommendations were strongly influence3 by the findings of one epidemiological study (Feychting and Ahlbom 1993). This study was based on a very small number of cases; in addition, this study found no cancer association with in-home magnetic field measurements. Therefore, this study alone, and in the context of other E1Vff� r�search, has not been determined by the scientific community to provide a basis for similar recommendations in the United States, or in other countries. _ In September 1995, the United States Congress, Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) complexed a r�port evaluating potential risks to students in school, including EMF. The neport states, "In comparison to other environmental risks described in this report, ENII� is among the TDD: (612) 623-5522 (Twin Cities) 1-800-627-3529 (Greater Minnesota) An Equal Opportunity Employer ti ",,. 11/iZ. i�lOII2�5 SIDI�1 March 14, 1996 Page 2 most unceztai.n.

Four vendars submitted bids, the results of the bid opening are as follows: Cretex Pressure Pipe, Inc. $130,645.00 United States F.ipe and Foundry Company $164,471.35 American Cast Iron Pipe $17p,296.31 Clow $17'7, 649.'79 The Iower bidder, Cretex Pressure Pipe, Inc. is the manufacturer of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe, a pipe material., nat commvnly used in the City and unfamiliar to the Engineering staff.. Wherea�s large diameter l�uctile Iron Pipe was installed in the City as recent as 1992 when a 24" D.I.P, watermain was installed along Mendota I%ights Raad. In comparing the twp pipe materials, the fallowing abservations were made: 1. Concrete Pipe is more labor intensive than Duciile Iron Pipe. Concrete pipe weighs approximately 4,4001bs more per pipe length requiring a larger backhae far insta�llation. E�ma caat�on is needed during iusta�lation ta secure the joints and concrete "diapers" are required on all exterior jaints to aid in the prevention of seepage. 2. The pressure rating of the Ductile Iron Pipe is 250 p.s.i. compared to I50 p.s.i. to the Cancrete Pipe. 3. Tapping into the watermain far any future water e�ensions is an easier process with the Ductile Imn Pipe tl�an the Concrete Fipe. 4. Failure of the prestressing wires in the Concrete Pipe require replacement af the entire 20 foot pipe section, and is usually repaired using Ductile Imn Pipe instead of concrete. � 1 Because of the higher pressure class rating of the ductile pipe, and its familiarity with the Engineering staff, we feel that the ductile pipe is a better pipe material for the watemain project. We also think that installation and future maintenance problems with ductile pipe would be less difficult than concrete pipe. We feel that ductile iron pipe should be selected for the Wentworth Watermain Project. � RECOA�IlVIENDATION: I recommend that the contract for the Wentworth Watermain Materials be awarded to United States Pipe and Foundry Company for the bid of $160,471.35. Costs for this project will come from the Water Revenue Fund. All other bid bonds will be retained by the City until after a signed contract is received from United States Pipe and Foundry Company.

November 2, 1995 Mr, Ultan Duggan 233I Gapperfield Drive Mendota Heights, MN 5512� 1fi,e; pooVPatia lnspection Dear Mar. Duggan: 83�70IVorrn� Ct�cerDriu� 555 w�si 27tl� Slreer 1�'�r�. Mt�t a5d37•i026 f�l�b�ng, MN55746 P�.,r�: (51�1822-2�0 Phone: j218) 2��3465 fa� �fi12J632�1 Far (218J262�3460 At your reqaest, Barr Engineering Company has inspected and surveyed the pooI and patia area in the rear of your home. During my inspecti�n and our conversation on Qctober llth yuu descn`bed watEr whicb appears in your basement heating system from time to time, and I observed poor drainage and an apparent high-wafi,�r table in the yard and paot ar+ea. Utt October 13th, Barr employeas placed four small hand-dug test borings and perfarmed a level survey to establish the relative elevation of patio areas, lawn areas, the pond, and the house. We alsa reviewed work which we performed on your behalf in May, 1994. The primary purp+ase of our wark was to deterimine the source of water which appears from time to time in the baseu3ent heat ducts, and to identify ways ta correct the prablem. During my inspectian you also demanstrated how water pressure beneath the pool liner made it di�cult to clean your pool. Bath prablems are apparently related to locally high groundwater and a common salution may be possible. The water in your heat system is rela#,�d ta poor surface water drainage and a high lacal groundwater table adjaceni ta the hause and poal srea. This canctusian is based upan your observation of when water appears in the heat ducts, my observation of flat topography and ezdsting surface drainage, and shaIlow soii borings taken by the suurvey crew. • You describe the problem with water in the heat ducts as intermittent and coinciding with rainstorms. This leads me to betieve that ihe source of water in your heai ducis is �• -- . �•p�iznarity sarface water which accumuiates on the lawn adjacent to the poal and patio. If ��.. �• ground water were the primary source, the water in your heat ducts would be persistent .. "•• ��' and seasonal and woutd not necessarily cnincide with rainfali events. The lacaily high � Mr. Ultan Duggan Page 2 November 2, I395 groundwater and imperviaus soiIs pmbably restrict seepage of surface water inta the ground snd contribute to the problem in the ducts. •, I observed that the tapographY ac�jacent ta the hause and poai is very flat and paarly- drained. You confirmed that those areas are sog�y for some time fallawing rainstorms: These observations, to,gether with the fact that roof and surface runoff is clirected to these areas, leads me ta believe that much of the accumuiaied surface water in tbesa areas seeps into the relatively pervious surface soils, cantributing to perched groundwater ac�jacent to your home. • Shallow soil borings showed that relatively impervious so�s appear to be natural in the area and that appiarently importeti perviaus soils overlay the inaperviaus iocai soils in the areas of goor snrFace clrainag�e ac�jacent ia the ho�zse. . Four shalIow soil borings were taken at the locations shown an the attached drawing. Borings 1, 2, and 3 encauntered racks which liinited the dapth to which the hand auger Iwricigs could be made to less than 4 fee�. Boring 4, in the fire pit area, was dug to a depth of 6 fee� Soil samples were takea from each of the borings and the graundwater level was meas�red ici Boring 4. Borings I and 2 disclased sandy sail, agparently import�ed during foundation preparation and grading operations. Cohesive, relatively impervious soils were faund in Barings 3 and �4. In the deeper portians of both borings {where site grading is less likely ta have affected the sail sampies) very fine, impervious soils were observed. The impervious nature of the natural sails is demonstrated by observed saturated conditions at ihe french drain which receives runoff fram the patia area. The french drain is nat workzng, which suggests that the water levels observed on the ground surface ai the french drain ix`kely represent the groundwater levels near the house where the drainage system receives runoff. This is verified by fihe measured water Ievet at Boring 4, which was similar to the measured water level at french drain. Both levels are within approacimately 9 inches of the bottom of the basement heat system. A likely scenario is that surface water and roof drainage accumulat�es close to the house, and seeps into the perviaus surface soils until it reaches the underlying impervious soils. The seeping wak�esr accumulates abave the imperviaus soits and saturates the pervious saiis, Tliis results in a temporary perched. water table adjacent to the foundation of the house and causes water to � Mr. Ultan Duggan Page 3 November 2, 1995 accumulate in the heat ducts (this theory is also supported by your account of how the floor in the basement entertainment area was raised and additional drain tile installed to deal with soil and water problems during construction). Eventually, the water in the heat system recedes through evaporation or slow seepage through the soil system until the next significant runoff event, which again saturates the near-surface soils and causes water to reappear in the heat system. The floating pool liner is a symptom of groundwater pressures beneath the liner. There is probably a direct connection between the water in the pool and the drainage system beneath the liner. During my inspection you demonstrated how you use your pool recirculation system to withdraw water from beneatli the liner. Moments later we inspected the plastic pipe you said is connected to the drainage system below the liner and found that water pressures below the liner were similar to the pool level. This suggests that there is either: (1) a large source of groundwater which quickly recharges the drainage layer beneath the liner; or (2) a hydraulic connection between the pool and the drainage laye�below the liner (a hole in the liner or a direci connection between the paol drain system and the drainage layer below the liner). I suspect a hydraulic connection eadsts because measured water levels in the plastic pipe which you indicated was connected to the drainage layer below the liner were exactly the same as water levels in the pool. Such a connection between the pool and the drainage layer would not necessarily mean that the pool would appear �to lose water, because the pool and yard areas are in a relatively impervious "bowl" and losses from the pool area would be made up by precipitation and recirculation from the drainage layer below the liner. If the drainage layer below the liner is hydraulically connected to the pool, it is prnbable that the drainage layer also influences groundwater levels close to the house, to an undetermined degree. Depending on how efficient the connection is between the drainage layer under the pool liner and the granular materials tha't were observed in Borings 1 and 2� the pool liner and drain system could influence high groundwater levels in the vicinity of the heat ducts (the water level in the pool and in the drainage layer below t�e liner is approximately 9 inches higher than the bottom of the heat system). To relieve the problems with the heating and pool systems the e�sting groundwater levels need to be relieved. Z`his will require a groundwater drainage system, as well as an all-season surface water system, I recommend that you install surface and groundwater drains from the house to the pond as shown on the attached drawing. The surface water drain Mr. Ultan Duggan Page 4 November 2, 1995 should collect water &om the roof drains and have surface inlets to oolleci water from poorly- drained areas of the lawn. It �should also collect water from the plastic pipe connected to the drainage area below the pool liner to create lower water pressures below the liner than in the pool. The surface water drainage system should be watertight and sbould not be directly connected to the groundwater control system. It should be constructed at least 4feet deep to avoid freezing. When the trench is open for constniction of the surface water drain, a parallel groundwater drain should also be installed, Do not connecE the groundwater system to the surface water system. The backfill around the groundwater system should be well graded gravel wluch will also make an egceUent bedding for the suuface water drain. The groundwater system. should also outlet to the pond The location of both systems is shown on the attached drawing. Surface t�rater inlets and a groundwater collection system should be placed on ihe north and south sides of the patio and connected tfl a common drain which runs to the pond. I suggest the connection between the north and south drains be made on the west side of the pool. A connection on the west side of the pool has the advantage of easy construction with resuliang lower cos� Although a connection between the pool and house would allow efficient coliection of patio runoff and groundwater, such a connection may be difiicult because af the pool piping system and the relatively narrow work area beiween the pool and house. I recommend the existing drain adjacent to the house be abandoned, new surface inlets be provided, most of the patio be replaced in order to achieve proper patio drainage). Minor reshaping of disburbed lawn areas will be necessary to promote positive drainage to the surface water inlets shown on the attached drawing. If you should chose to reduce the cost and disruption to the patio by delaying or foregoing installation of the surface drains in the patio area, then the eusting patio drain system should be connected to the surface water drain. If freezing is a problem, an electric cable could be installed in the e�dsting patio drain system. Note that the existing 2-inch PVC riser at the southwest corner of the pool is shown connected to the surface water drain. This will provide a positive outlet for accumulated groundwater beneath the pool liner and should solve the problems of the floating liner by assuring a 3- to 4foot difference in water levels above and below the liner. Once the drain is connected, I suspect the pool may lose water because of the apparent hydraulic connection to the drainage layer below the liner. A careful evaluation of the pool drainage and recirculation systems needs to be made and this hydraulic connection needs to be eliminated. � � Mr. Ultan Duggan Page S November 2, ls8s The elevations which are shown on the attached drawing are point elevations for various portions of the drainage sysiem and ihe patia area. '�`he arrows indicate the directi�n of surface wa#,er drainage to the surface water drain system. . Thank you far ihe opportxznity to assis� you with this problem.

Danielson, Public Works Direc SUBJECT: Gopher One Call Building Permit Review Mr. Hugh Cullen, representing Roseville Properties appeared before the City Council at the March Sth and 19th meeti.ng to discuss the details of a new building to be constiucted for Gopher State One Call. At the March 19th meeting Council continued to have questions concerning the visibility of the roof top me�hanical units for the building. Action on his building permit was therefore delayed to allow Mr. Cullen time to prepare and submit more information that would address the concern. Mr. Cullen has now submitted the attached information that clearly shows the units. The unit locations are shown dotted on the roof of the site plan. The elevations still do not show the units because they will not be visible from street level. There is a 12 inch parapet wall and a downward sloping roof that will be up to two feet lower than the top of the parapet at its low points. The 44 inch tall mechanical units will be setback some distance from the edge and not be visible unless viewed from a distant�higher elevation such as City Hall. The units are pmposed to be painted the same color as the building so that they will blend in. Painting the units to match the building is a treatment that is usually preferable to surrounding them with a fence such as the Medical Center did. Mr. Cullen has told me that he would be willing to surround the units with a fence should Council desire. Also attached is a color perspective drawing that depicts how the units will appear if viewed from a higher elevation. Mr. Cullen will attend the meeti.ng with his project architect and project manager to review the project with Council. ACTION RFAUIRED: Review the Gopher State One Call building permit application with Mr. Cullen and determine under what conditions Council would be willing to authorize staff to issue him a building permit to construct his pmposed building. ' r• ` �, CITY OF MENDOTA HE(GHTS �� March 29, 199fi TO: Mayor, City Council and Interim Ci inistrator FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Warks Direct � SUBJECT: U.S. West Antenna Request Mr. Jay Littlejohn appeared before the February 6, 1996 Gity Council meeting to request a Conditional Use Permit to aliow U.S. West Cellutar to construction a 100 foot tall tower at 750 Highway 11 Q{Mendota Plaia). His basis for requesting the Conditional Use Permit was that celtular phone towers are an essentia! service. At that meeting the City Council made a finding that cellular phone towers were not an essentiat services and therefore the tower wouid need a vaciance for height. Counci! #urthec found that there was no basis �or a hardship ar practical difficulty for the tower and denied the request (resolution attached). Mr. Littlejohn was then asked to investigate other lacations for suitability and return to Councii for input prior to returning to the Planning Cammission for further cansiderations by them on a new location. Mr. Littlejohn has been working with School District 197 to design an antenna locatian at Henry Sibtey High School {see attached�. This new ante�na location is able to be accomplished totally on the Henry Sibley High School buildi�g. All the antennas will be located on top and on the side of the buiiding and the equipment building is proposed to be installed totally on the roof. Review with Mr. Littlejohn his tatest rquest and determine its suitability. If Councifi #inds the site to be an acceptabie alternative, Mr. �ittlejohn shoud then meet with the City Planner to schedule a return to the Planning Commission for their processing and recammendations. JED:kkb CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY 11�IINNTSOTA RESOLUTION NO. 96-09 A RESOLUTION DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE PERNIIT FOR US WEST CELLULAR FOR A CELLULAR TOWER AT 750 ffiGHWAY 110 WHEREAS, US West Cellular has applied for a conditional use pernut (the Conditional Use Permit") to construct a 100 foot cellular communications tower (the "Tower") at 750 Highway 110, as proposed on plans in Planning Case File 96-03; and WHF.REAS, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their January 23, 1996 meeting; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended on a 6-0 vote that the City Council deny the request for the Conditional Use Permit ba.sed on the Tower's visuai incompatibility with its surroundings; and WHF.REAS, the City Council reviewed application for the Conditional Use Permit at their meeting on February 6, 1996. NOW, THEREPORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights as follows: 1. The City makes the following findings of fact: a. Cellular telephone service does not constitute an"essential service" and therefore the proposed Tower would require a height variance of 65 feet; b. Cellular telephone service is available within the City and the primary purpose of the proposed Tower would be to improve existing service; c. The Tower would be visually and aesthetically incompatible with its surroundings; and d. Construction of the Tower would alter the character of the surrounding neighborhood and establish an undesired precedent. 2. In light of the foregoing findings, the request for Conditional Use Permit submitted by U5 West Cellular and the required height variance, as described above, aze hereby denied. � Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 20th day of February, 1996.

Littlejohn (612) 330-3003 Re: Our File No. 0530200-005900 - MINSUNFISH 1897 Delawa.re Aven.ue (Henry Sibley Senior High. School) Dear Mr. Danielson: This letter supplements and amends the Application for a Conditional Use Permit submitted by our firm on January 2, 1996 on behalf of U S WEST NewVector Group, Inc. (also know as U S WFST Cellular) to locate a cellular telephone antenna site on property located at 750 Highway 110. That location was rejected by the Mendota Heights City Council, which required that we consider the Henry Sibley Senior High School property referenced above (the "Property"). We have re-evaluated the Property, and find that a facility (the "Facility") can be designed to meet the performance criteria established for this cell site. Furthermore, we can install the cellular antennas on the raoftop and on the surface of a penthouse at the site and completely avoid installing a pole at the site. The following information is provided for purposes of amending the Application to substitute the Property for the property originally described therein, and to describe the Facility. Amended Application. The following information should be substituted for that appearing in the Application: Owner's Name: Owner's Address: Street Lacation of Property in uestion: Independent School District No. 197 1897 Delaware Avenue, Mendota Heights, MN 1897 Delaware Avenue, Mendota Heights, MN 1 � Mr. James Danielson Public Works Director City of Mendota Heights March 26, 1996 Page 2 Le�al Description: The Southeast Quarter (SE 1/4) of the Northeast Quarter (NE 1/4) of Section Twenty-five (25), Township Twenty-eight (28), Range Twenty-three (23), except that part platted as Sibley Heights. Applicable CitX Ordinance Number: Present Zoning of Pro : Present Use: Proposed Zonin�of PropertX: Proposed Use: The Proposed Use. 8.2(1) (and 7.2(3), by reference) R-lA public school R-lA essential services structure We propose to install the Facility on the rooftop of Henry Sibley Senior High School, on land owned by Independent School District No. 197. The area is zoned R-lA, One Family Residential District, in which that school building is a permitted use (see Section 7.1(3) of the Zoning Ordinance). The proposed Facility consists of three sets of four antenna each, with two of those arrays to be attached to the rooftop of the western most portion of the school building and the third set to be mounted on the north wall of the penthouse of that same portion of the school building. A 12 foot by 24 foot cellular equipment building will be constructed on the rooftop of that portion of the school building, directly to the south of the higher portion of that penthouse. A drawing with a site plan and elevations as well as two photo simulations depicting the Facility accompany this letter. As you can see from these materials, the school building and the sunounding school property create a significant buffer from the surrounding residential properties, and that penthouse actually screens the view of certain portions of the Facility from various directions. Antennas. As noted above, no pole will be required for this design since the proposed cellular antennas will be mounted on the rooftop and attached to the penthouse of the existing building. The antennas that are mounted on the rooftop will be painted to match the water Mr. James Danielson Public •Works Director City of Mendota Heights March 26, 1996 Page 3 towers of the City, and the antennas that aze attached to the penthouse will be painted to match the pattern and color of the brick fascia of that penthouse. As shown by the two photo simulations depicting the school building with the Facility constructed thereon, the penthouse will screen the antenna from certain directions, and the proposed color of the visible antennas is designed to further minimize the visual impact of those antennas. Equipment Penthouse. The equipment penthouse that is proposed will house radio, computer and climate control equipment for this cell site within a 12 foot by 24 faot building to be constructed on the lower portion of the penthouse roof of the existing schaol building. The walls of this equipment building, while constructed of prefabricated materials, will be painted to appear as a brick facade matching the background brick of the school building. As you can see from the enclosed photo simulations, this treatment causes the equipment building to blend into that background, which will make the visual impact on the sunounding residential properties negligible. , Our cellular equipment will be connected to our central switching office via traditional telephone lines. As a result, no one will be working inside the building once construction is complete, except for maintenance visits occurring once or twice a month. There will be no measurable impact on traffic or other existing site conditions, because the antennas and equipment facility are operated remotely. The site is electrically powered and produces no noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odor. General Requirements. The Facility as designed will be in compliance with the general and minimum requirements for essential services located in a residential zoning district, set forth in Sections 4.9, 4.18 and 7,.2(3) of the Mendota Heights Zoning Ordinance, to the extent they are applicable. Specificatly, the architectural design of the Facility, as described herein and as depicted in the drawing and photo simulations enclosed, is compatible to the neighborhoad in which it is located, and the Facility will not encroach on the specified setback and will not require any additional parking or driveways. The Conditional Use Permit. Section 3.2(40) of the Zoning Ordinance provides that a communication systems such as cellular telephone facilities "including poles ... or other similar equipment and accessories in conjunction therewith" is an essential service. As such, the proposed use is a permitted use; Section 4.9(1) of the Zoning Ordinance provides that "permitted essential services shall be a permitted use ... in all zoning districts" unless �certain facts described in Section 4.9(2) of the Zoning Ordinance exist. Although the services provided by the Facility do not by themselves � Mr. James Danielson Fublic Works Director City of Mendota Xeights March 26, X 996 Page 4 bring it wit�iin the purview of said Section 4.9{2), the fact that Section 7.2(3) of the Zaning Ordinance states that "essential service structures" such as the proposed equipment building are a canditianal use af the land in the R-1 Zoning District {and sa also in the R-lA Zaning District) makes it necessazy for the City to issue a Canditional Use Permit for the Facility. Conclusion. We believe that this letter and the enclosed materials demanstrate that the new location for this cell site and the design for the Facility satisfy the Council's concerns for the cell site proposed ta provide cellular service for this azea of Mendota. Heights. We will be in attendance at the meetang af the City Cauncii scheduied far April 2, 2996 to obtain any comments on this design which that body may have, and at the meeting of the Planning Commission an Apri123, 1.99b ta address any questions that its members may have concerning this Application. In the meantirne, plea.se do not hesitate to caJl me if you have any questions about this new cell site. This letter includes the enclosures listed below, as application materials zequireti by Section 5.b of the Zoning Ordinance (note that the original of ihe Certificate af Dakata County Abstract & Title will be delivered i.n a day or two, ance we receive it). Finally, it is our understanding that the fee of $350.00 deiivered with the Application originally' submittect will satisfy any fee which may be required in connection with this amendment of that Application.

Discussion of tl7e ame�dment has since been tabled twice by #he Council, ance at the March 7 meeting, and again at the March 19 rneeting. Please see the attached memo by Interim City At�ministratar Kevin Batchelder regarding concerns of Cauncilmember Smith. Passage of the attached ordinance amendment would require a four-fifths vote by the Council. Motor Fuel Stations Lluring a recodification of the City Zoning Ordinance in tlie eazly 1970s, motor fuel statians and motor fuel station convenience stores were inadvertently omitted as conditional uses in B-2 zones. A,Ithougl�. Sta£f has since carrected tIus error ira the most recent edition of the Zoning Ordinance, same members af tlie conununity still passess and refer to copies of earlier erroneous additions. Tkie Pianning Commission e�pressed tlie concern that since several editions o£the erroneous Ordinasice were published and distributed over an e�rtended. period of time, conecting tlus enor shouid involve an official amendment by the Councit. The attached praposed ordinance would officially restare motor fuel statious and motar fuel station convenience stores as conditional uses in the B-2 zone. {Ali conditional uses in the B-2 zone are by definition aIso conditional uses in the B-3 zone.) Bank Drive-In Windows The Zoning Ordinance for the City of Mendota Heights does not cunently allaw banks to have drive-in windows. But now it is rare to see a bank wzthaut one, and the anly existing bank in Mendota Heights has one. The attached ardinance wauld permit banks with drive-in facilities in B- 2 zones. Action Requi�•ed Consider t�ie attaclred ordinance a�nendin� the Zoning Ordinance to restore motor fizel stations and motor fuel conveiuence stores in t11e B-2 zone and to allow drive-in facilities at banks in B-2 zones. � � ��i►il�I��lITl17.� :1 : March 19, 1996 To: - Mayor and City Council ' � � Fmm: Kevin Batchelder, Administrativ t Subject: Additional Information for Proposed Ordinance Changes Drive In Banks DISCUSSION � Item 7.d of tonight's agenda includes a proposed Ordinaace Change to allow Drive-In Banks as a permitted use ia the B-2, Neighborhood Busiaess District. Councilmember Jill Smith, who cannot be present this evening, has requested that City Council be informed of her concerns about allowing a drive-in bank facility to become a permitted use. �� Councilmember Smith's specific concems are: 1. There is not enough definition to what constitutes a"drive-in" facility. She is concerned that a detached, or free standing, drivo-in facility would be allowed, or that a freestand.ing ATM would be considered as pernutted uader this proposal. 2. That City Couacil should be able to consider and evaluate each proposal and that a Conditional Use Permit would allow for this review by Council for each "drive-in" bank proposal. 3. That banks aad banking institutions are not very well defiaed by our Ordinance. Couacilmember Smith would fe�l more comfortable if "drive-in" bank facilities were considered a conditional use. The Planning Commission voted to recommend that the proposed ordinance be adopted, wluch would allow all banks to become a permitted use in the B-2, Neighborhood Business District. Curnently, the ordinance allows "Banks and banking institutions without drive-in facilities" as permitted uses. ACTION RF;QUIRED Consider this additional information when considering the Zoning Ordinance amendment for Banks and Banking Institutions.

Based on these projected problems, we Fiave suggested that the building demolitio,n and access road be paid from existing Tax Increment funds.

Net Tax Increment S 50,000 S 169,000 - � 85.000 $ 84,000 5134,000 In addition to this assistance, the developers have requested on January 11 and March 19 further pay-as-you-go assistance to pay the costs of site improvements estimated at 5375,000.

The city wauld be foolish ta lose two respectable businesses such as these for our main corner. We are not opposed ta the car wash or the three islands of pumps SuperAmerica requests. We are opposed to nnoving the ped/bike trail from the current locatian, along Lexington Ave., to a trail between twa residentiallots as mentioned at the March 18th Council Meeting. We believe this wouid bring unnecessary attentian to our neighbarhaod. We wauld have to agree with SuperAmerica that operating 24 hours a day would leave their emglayees and property less vulnerable to crime. We urge yau at the April2nd Councii Meeting ta approve the development so that the project tnay move ahead. Sincere y, h �� Richard Post Anne Post APPLICATIC)N OF SUPERAMERICA GROUP, INC. LEXINGTON AVENUE AND HWY 110 ' APRiL 2, 1996 We at SuperAmer'rca have listened carefu((y to the the discussion, the concerns and the support voiced by the members of the Gouncil and Planning Commission. We have aiso listened to the concerns and support provided by the many speakers at aur neighborhood meeting, the fewer neighbors at the Commission meeting, the neighbors speaking at the Council meetings, and have reviewed the letters received by the City on our application. To this we have added our expertise, gained through the compatible and successful aperation af stores in similar settings thraughout the metro area. � With this understanding ar�d background we propose as the most cor�patible and feasible redevefapment of this site is the foflowing. A. The store, pump islands and car wash We request approval af a conditional use permit for a 350� sq. ft. SuperAmerica store, two pump islands serving a maximum of eight vehicles, and an enclosed selfi service car wash. . The proposed 44 ft. by 80 ft. stare is slightly larger than the 48 ft. by 60 ft. SOS and repair garage building presently on the site, but is #he minimum size needed to provide the selectian, especially of refrigerated and frozen products, expected ,at a competitive coc�venience s#ore. This "thresholt�" size store is smaller than our siores at the airpor# an Post Raad, 4660 sq. ft., and in Eagan at Yankee Doodle, 4720 sq. ft. We believe ihis the "right size" to be supported by the neighbcarhaod as indicated by otar proprietary market studies, and meet their demands for a convenient selection of many producis. , 1Nhile #his store has the same footprint as our proposed store on Hwy. 55, we are propasing design elements to reinforce and complement the residential and institutional character of the area. Custom elements include #he darker brick base of the building and decorative bands, the 3 ft. eaves e�ending from the building, and the dark "knee wall" a# the entrance. The typical SuperAmerica white fascia with red stripes at the roafline has been eliminated on this building. These features are meant to both echo City Hall and visually lower and reduce the mass of the buiiding. From the discussion and testimony received, and c�ur experience at similar sites, we expect the car wash will provide a welcome and needed service at this locatian. This is n�t an attended "tunneln iype car wash that mus� attract customers from a wide area. It is a totally enclased (during bath the washing and drying cycles) convenient, additionai service offered ia a customer afready on the site. This is the way the wash is marketed, priced and used. � B. Hours of operation We now propose to operate this store for no more than eighteen hours each day. We would open no earlier than five o'clock in the morning and close by midnight. Within this nineteen hour "operational window" we will determine the eighteen continuous hours that are most compatible with and provide the most service to our neighbors. The organization of the site, the nature and proximity of surrounding uses, the staged development of new housing and the opportunity for buffering both on and off the site, combined with our operating experience predicts compatibility. C. Confirmation 1. We will commit to work with your staff to create mechanical, structural, or operational changes to address any significant complaints resulting from our operation at this site. This includes all elements, from individual lights, to the vacuum cleaner operation, to trash containers, to anything else. 2. We will not purchase any logo or other off site advertising sign on I-35E or Hwy. 110 directing traffic to this store 3. The trash enclosure will be of the same brick as the store and will be roofed and fully enclosed. 4. Landscaping will be provided to buffer the parking along the Lexington Avenue edge of the site, and extended into the Hwy. 110 right of way, if permitted. 5. The canopy will have a clearance of 14 ft. 6 in. above grade. The band �round the canopy is 3 ft. on height, the roof feature extends to a maximum height of 4 ft. The overall height of the canopy will be 21 ft. 6 in. 6. The driveways to and from the site will be 30 ft. wide at the property boundary. 7. Vaporization of the pollution on site will probably not be proposed by SuperAmerica. The soil will probably be removed immediately to allow investigation of any extension of the pollutant beneath the perched water that now contains it. If vaporization is chosen, this investigation could not oceur until that process has been completed. If vaporization is recommended, the shed will be located and designed to complement the site. 8. The condenser units on the ground at the rear of the store will be shielded by a brick wall. 2 a 9. Timber(ine type (shake like} shingies will be used on all roofs. 10. Atl fandscaped areas wi(1 be irrigated. 11. No merchandise will be displayed autside the store. 12. We will install a glass transom above the entrance, The design af the building (dark base, banding, kr�ee wa0, eaves� addresses the concern #o visually lower the store. While it is not needed for illumination, the na�tural north light is welcome in in the counter area. ' 13. We will provide windows for the car wash. We have not experienced maintenance/vanda(ism problems at other locations, and believe they do soften this blank waE{. Shouid we not be abie to main#ain the windows a# this site, we will permanently brick them shut. 14. We will offer auto diesel fuel at this site. The probability of a large truck attempti�g to use this senrice is e�reme�y small {zero according to an informal survey).

The location of the SuperAmerica on Lot 1 is determined by the preexisting use of this site. The known contamination caused by the underground tanks of the present service station at this site means the most practical successor use is another motor fuel station / convenience store. 2. The shape and size of Lct 1 was determined by the practical need to match th� proposed new frontage road connecting to Lexington Avenue from the east with the present frontage road connecting to Lexington Avenue from the west. 3. Conditions one and two have created a motor fuel station/convenience store site that has public roads on all sides, requiring an extraordinary (in relation to the 30 ft. front setback generally in the B-2 district) 60 ft. front yard setback to be applied from all property lines. 4. The sole location for a motor fuel building meeting all setbacks would be the center of the site. This is not the most practical location for site utilization and circulation, a typical location, or due to the surroundings, the desired location for the building. THE REQUESTED VARIANCES ARE: 1. For the car wash; 60 ft. to 33 ft. from the south frontage road Practical Difficulty / Hardship General conditions from above The location of the car wash at the inside of a curving, rather than typical right angle property corner, drives the setback deeper into the site creating a practical hardship Unlike most buildings, which cannot be located in a circulation area, the car wash building must practically be located in a circulation area Because the sole access to the site is from the frontage road, and no access is permitted from Lexir�gton, the on site circulation pattern creates this as the sofe practical car wash building location adjacent to the store building Mitigation The practicat 30 ft. rear yard setback for motor fuel stations is maintained The car wash is located on the inside of the project and is buffered by on site plantings, and by the off site, but within the project, road and additional plantings and berms The car wash wiil be less visible and more practically located adjacent to the mass of the store building than at an alternative and freestanding location elsewhere on the site The activity in the car wash is completely self enclosed, there is no activity outside its walls 2. For the freestanding monument sign; 60 ft. to 10 ft. from the Hwy. 110 right of way, 60 ft. to 2 ft. from the frontage road right of way, reducing the vertical distance to grade from 14 ft, to none Practical Difficulty / Hardship General conditions from above � The specific location of the sign in this corner is determined by the location of storm drains into the Hwy. 110 ditch and underground sanitary sewers A monument style sign cannot practically meet the vertical distance requirement Mitigation , The proposed location in the northeast corner is more respectful of the institutional / residential image of Lexington and Hwy. 110 than � location in the northwest corner of the site The sign will be located approximately 15 ft. from the frontage roadway, and 70 ft. from the Hwy. 110 roadway � The variation from the frontage road is a variation on the inside of the project The vertical distance variance will permit the monument type sign that will be more compatible at this site ' S. For circutation at the north and northwest edges of the site; from 20 ft. to 7 ft. and 12 ft. from the right of way. , Practical Difficulty / Hardship ' General conditions frbm above � The location of the northerly drive way due to the curves in the frontage road The diagonal northwest corner of the property created by the Hwy. 110 and Lexington right of ways Mitigation � Due to the width of the Hwy. 110 right of way, a 65 ft.. to 90 ft. setback from the actual roadway will be maintained Additional landscaping (the purpose of the setback) within the right of way will be proposed to MNDOT for their approval This permits the activity on the site to shift north, permitting a typical rear yard setback on the south edge of the property April 2, 1996 v v"` M h 27 1996 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO � arc , � TO: Mayor, City Cauncil and Interim Ci A"nistrator , FROM: Patrick C.

At the Plannzng Comrnission's regularly scheduled meeting on March 26, 199b, Commissioner Betlej maved to recammend that the City Cauncil approve the senior housing proposal subject tc� the foiiowing: � l. The facility remair� as Senior �Iausing in pezpetuity 2. The facility remain as governmentaily owned housing 3. A minimum of 40 ofthe bS units be available to Iow/moderate income residents 4. The facility be operated [exclusively] for people 55 years of age and older and their spouses 5. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment be granted 6. The Zoning be arnended ta an R-3 designation � 7. Variances be granted for the following: Lot Area; To provide 65 units on 4.41 acres of land. ' Parking: Ta provide 55 internat parking spaces, 27 e�ernal parking spaces and 9 praof-of parking. , f �.. Unit Size: To provide a minimum of 650 square feet for one bedroom units and a mirumum of 900 square feet far two bedroom units, Thres bedroorn units axe not allowed. Storage: 50 percent ofthe requirement in Section 12.7(�). and to grant Conditionat Use Permits as required for a structure with more than 2S units and far Muung to allow the ramoval of fill from the site. A11 recommendatians listed above are based on the application materials presented by the Dakota County HRA to the Planning Comrnission in City Case No. 96-04. Chair Dwyer seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 5-� vote. Dr, Greg Lee of the Dodge Nature Center raised the following two objections to the above motion at the meeting: 1. Dr. Lee compla.ined that na notice had been mailed to interested parties that there would be a hearing for a variance for this proposal. 2. Dr. Lee believes that neither the HHRA nor the Planning Commissian has demonstrated either a hardship or uniqueness to the property in questian, and therefore he believes that a variance is not justified. The Dakota County HR.A did in fact apply for variances in their originat application, and the Planning commission has discussed the options of either considering variances or amending the appropriate sections of the Zaning Ordinance ta allow for this proposat. Natices were rnailed concerning the Zoning Amendment. Only at this last March meeting, when the Planning Cominission decided that they were unable io draft a satisfactory amendment ta the Zoning Ordinance, did the Cammission decide to vote on granting the necessary variances and CUPs under the Czty's existing Zoning Ordinance. Attached are the following dacuments: L The current version ofthe Zaning Ord'znance amendment far Senior Housing 2. A Resolution adoptirig the recommendation of the Planning Commission 3. A Rezoning Ordinance for the F[IZA site 4, A letter from the Dakota County HRE1. addressing the concerns raised by the Planni.ng Commissian at their March 2b meeting 5. A map pravided by Staff showing that South Plaza Drive could still be extended if the I3RA proposal is appraved 6. All other materials received as part of the public record Recommendation At their March 26, 1996 rneeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously ta recammend that the City Council approve the �IlZA development. The Council could facilitate this i,n twa ways: ; l, The Council cauld approve the attached Zaning Ordinance amendment and grant the Dakota County HItA a�onditional Use Pern�it under the conditians of the amendment. 2. The Council cauld fallow the Planning Commission's recommendation stated above and grant the appropriaie variances, CUPs etc. under our e�sting ordinance. {The Piaculirig Con��ission suggested that the prQper format for refining the Seniar Housing ordinance amendment would be a Workshop with the Council, the Planning Commission, and representatives of the Dakota I�RA.} If the Cauncil wishes to foliow the Planning Cammission's recommendation, Staf� suggests the following Findings of Fact to demanstrate hardship and/or practical difficulty and justify the variances: ' Loi Shape. The property in question consists of vacated highway right-of-way, and thus has a"linear" shape, presenting a hardship to develapers attempting to conform with our Zoning Ordinance. 2. Affardability. The City of Mendota Heights is committed to increasing the amaunt of affardable housing available in the City in accordance with the Livable Cornmunities Act. This propasal represents a step toward this goa1. The requested Variances are necessary because ofinadequacies in aur Zoning Ordinance in accornmadating affordable hausing. , Actian Required If the Cauncil wishes to allaw the HRA Seniar Housing project it should determine whether it wishes to amend the Zoning Ordinance or implement the Planning Commission recornmendatzon by adopting the attached Resolution granting the necessary variances, and vote on the appropriate option. � CITY OF MENDt}TA HEIGEE'rS DAKQTA COUNTY,II�TNESUTA ORDYNANCE NU.

Lowering the Building Elevation: p to the March 26th Planning discussed at that meeting. Attached is a letter from the architect for this development describing the building elevation options. The site plan we have presented reduces the existing grade about five feet. We had asked the architect to look at reducing the grade further. Attached is a copy of his letter which indicates that the grade could be further reduced but it quite expensive. Assuming a cost of $5.00 per yard of excess soil removed from the site, it would cost about $16,500.00 for each additional foot the grade is lowered for the building. This number could be lower or higher depending on demand for fill at the time the project is bid. ' �, An additional consideration to lowering the site� is the site drainage. If the garage entrance is lowered, we may have some problems with connecting to the storm sewer connection. Lowering the grade will also affect the pond on the south side of the building which would require lowering the pond outlet; this cost is not included in the number above. While it is possible to further lower the site grade, we do not have it included in our construction budget. , 2. Modification of the Berm Area on the East Propertv Line: The letter from the architect also describes the changes we are making to the grading plan to allow for a longer and higher berm with larger deciduous and conifer plantings. These changes have been made on the plans. ; 3. Chanctinci the Exterior to All Brick : It is possible to make the building exterior all brick, however, again we did not have this included in our construction budget. It � � ;•�,�i '.;(. � `I'i'i `!: � � ��., ' ' , • ... r� � -2- could be done as a bid alternate and the City of Mendota Heights could decide if they wanted to pay for the additional cost to have an all brick exterior. We did this in the City of Hastings where the city opted to pay for the all brick exterior. 4. Additional Information Reqardinq Parkinq Rectuirements: We have 55 underground parking spaces provided for the 65 apartment units. This is a higher ratio of underground spaces than we have at any of our other seven senior housing facilities like the one proposed for Mendota Heights. We typically provide underground spaces for approximately two-thirds of the apartment units and have found this to be adequate in all of our buildings so we expect that we will be able to meet the needs for all of our residents with cars with the underground spots. In addition, we had 19 surface parking spots for visitors. Because of the concerns that have been raised by the planning commission about providing adequate parking, we have added 9 additional surface parking spots at this time. Proof of parking shows where additional spots could be added at some point in the future if needed. We have sufficient parking at all of our buildings. On any given day at most of our buildings, generally not more than 5 to 10 ten surface spaces are utilized. By adding the additional 9 spots at this time, we will have a total of 28 surface spots for guest parking. A chart is included that provides information regarding parking provided at all of our other buildings. 5. Information Regardinci the Lot Size: The attached chart also shows a comparison the other senior housing facilities regarding the number of units per acre allowed under the zoning for each site. At 13.83 units per acre, the Mendota Heights Senior Housing would have the lowest density of the Dakota County HR.A developments. Because we do not have tot lots, swimming pools, tennis courts or other auxiliary buildings, and because the average household si.ze is small in senior housing, these density levels work just fine. 6. Information Regarding the Unit Size: The unit sizes being proposed for the Mendota Heights senior housing facility are the same as in our other facilities. These have been well received by the seniors which is demonstrated by the fact that we have over 1,000 seniors on our waiting lists for the various buildings, if seniors are on the waiting list at more than one building, we only count them once when looking at the total number of people waiting for housing units. -3- The minimum size on a one bedroom unit is 664 sq. ft. and the minimum size on a two bedroom unit is 916 sq. ft.. with a typical two bedroom unit being 965 sq. ft. We feel it is important to keep the buildings fairly similar in terms of unit size and amenities and we do not think it is necessary to deviate from the typical unit sizes. ' 7. Addition of an Exercise Room: � � At the Planning Commission a suggestion had been made that we look at the possibility of adding an exercise room. We feel the best solution might be to have the common area on the third floor available for an exercise room. We had not designated a specific use for this area yet and it would be similar to what we did at our Inver Grove Heights senior building. There would be room to add a couple of exercise bikes or other small exercise equipment. I don't think we want to get into the business of providing large exercise equipment. � In several of our buildings we do have exercise bikes that have been donated by the residents. This has been well received but we have not had requests for other exercise equipment. Because we do not have physical therapists or other similar staff, we would not anticipate providing the extensive exercise equipment. 8. Additional Common Space: � We have also added a common space in the garage area (an enclosed room with approximately 200 sq. ft.) that could be used as a work room for wood working or another use the tenants may desire. The Dakota County HRA Property Managers work directly with the residents association at each building and occasionally changes have been made regarding how common spaces are utilized depending on the desires of the residents. In summary, the Dakota County HRA has made the following changes to our original site plan: • The site lighting was reduced by approximately 45 percent. • The grading on the eastern property line was revised to accommodate a berm. Additional trees were added to this part of the property and some of the trees were increased in size. • Nine additional surface parking spots were added at this time. • A work room was added to the garage area and we' can look at utilizing a common space on the third floor for an exercise room. � F� -4- We strongly believe that this proposal will be seen as an asset to the community when it is completed. Approval of this senior housing development would be consistent with the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act which encourages communities to provide options for rental and life cycle housing options.

SCARLETT HUGH SCHILLING STEVEN TOUREK GREGORY J. LEE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Council Members: I am writing to express the Dodge Nature Center's concem and opposition to the size of the Dakota County HRA senior housing project proposed for the land immediately adjacent to the Dodge Nature Center property located in Mendota Heights. The Nature Center's concerns are explained in my 16 February 19961etter to Michael Dwyer, Chair .of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission. Since the submittal of that letter the HRA has gone on record as saying it would place a small (6-8 foot high) berm along a short length of the projects eastern exposure and plant 20 foot trees along the eastern side of the property to provide a partial screen. The Nature Center appreciates the HRA's willingness to do this, but we wish to point out that this is a fifty foot tall structure being built on a hill and the visual encroachment still would be severe. If the City Council does approve the project as now proposed, and the HRA plan to provide limited partial screening of the building, please be aware that according to the Soil Survey of Dakota County the soil where they would be planting trees is fill (LTdorthents) which "consists of heterogeneous, earthy fill. material and industrial waste" that may not be capable of supporting trees. This site does not now have trees on it after decades of non-use, when surrounding azeas with non- fill soil have had trees become established. This suggests that indeed the fill at this site will not support trees. Since it is in no ones best interest to expend lazge sums of money planting trees which will only die in a few yeazs, I urge you to not only require the HRA to create the berm and plant the trees, but also to replace the fill in this area with soils capable of supporting fully mature deciduous and evergreen trees. I also wish to request that if you do decide to approve a 65 unit project, that you require the HRA to purchase additional adjacent acreage sufficient to bring the overall density of their development project within the standards of the City of Mendota Heights. As presently proposed, the 13.8 units/acre density of the project is roughly 60-70% more dense than permitted by existing city statutes and is more comparable to inner city apartment densities than to suburban projects. Requiring that additional acreage be added to the project would help to preserve the City's standazds and the integrity of the area. Thank you for your attention to the Nature Center's concerns.

You asked me to look into the possibility of lowering the building elevadon to lessen it's impact on the Dodge Nature Center. As you know, the site plan we've presented places the first floor elevation at elevation at 861. The highest point of the north half of the site shown at 895.98 on the survey. We've already lowered the building almost five fee� The 861 first floor elevation is eleven feet above the cul-de-sac elevation of 850. , I called Brian Mundstock �t Sunde Engineering. After doing some calculations he told me that for every foot we lower the building we will have to remove and extra 3,300 cubic yards of soil from the site. He explained that soil removal costs are about $S.(}0 per yazd but can vary depending on need for fill on other projects in the azea. Using this number, it will cost $16,500.00 per foot to lower the building elevation. � We met with the Dodge Nature Center in the lobby before the last planning on February 27. We discussed some options to lessen the building impact on the Dodge Nature Center. I explained that instead of the gradual descending grade shown on the east elevation we could hold the grade higher along the building and drop off at a steeper grade down to the garage door. This will result in a higher and larger plateau on which we can build a longer and higher berm. We can reinforce this with lazger plantings of deciduous and conifer plantings. These changes will reduce the building elevation facing east by as much as ten fee� I've enclosed (2) prints of the alternative site plan. One print shows the grading and one print shows both the grading and planting. We discussed the possibility of making this an all brick building. We can easily leave this option open by incorporating an add altemate into our documents. It would ask for an addidonal cost to omit the siding and to brick the entire building. Then, after the bidding, the owners and city will lmow the exact cost of this option and will be ab(e to decide if they want to pursue i� I've submitted our soils report and the soils information from the Dodge Nature Center which you faxed me to our Landscape Architect for review and evlauation.

Danielson, Public Works Directo �I SUBJECT: Case No. 96-04: Dakota County HRA - Senior Housing Project Discuss Zoning Ordinance Amendment ' . .� The Planning Commission conducted public hearings at their January and February meetings to consider a proposal from the Dakota County HRA for a senior housing facility. At the January meeting it was concluded by the Planning Commission that they would prefer to amend the City's Zoning Ordinance to allow for reduced standards for senior housing in lieu of considering variances. The Planning Commission also expressed some areas of concern over the plan. The request was then tabled to allow time for the HRA to make some amendments to their plans addressing Planning Commission concerns and to allow time for staff to prepare an appropriate amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, present it to the City Council for review and comment and order the appropriate hearing for consideration at the February meeting. ; At their February meeting, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing to consider the senior housing Zoning Ordinance amendment. At that hearing they expressed a concern that the proposed amendment was for public subsidized housing and should not be allowed for private, market rate development. The Commission therefore tabled consideration of the amendment until their March meeting to allow time for a legal review. Commissioner Friel, who will be out of town for the March meeting, has reviewed the amendment and submitted his comments in writing directly to all Eommission members. The Mayor has also reviewed Commissioner Friel's comments and proposed amendments. Mayor Mertensotto would concur with Commissioner Friel's amendments, if an exception would be allowed for governmentally owned housing, and then only if Council makes the legislative decision to do so. A copy of Commissioner Friel's proposed ordinance with the Mayor's amendment is attached. � I.T:T_E •u��-�c The HRA has submitted the attached tetter and plans addressing concerns that were raised at the February meeting about their facility. Among other things the plans have been changed to add surface parking and a landscape berm ta better screen the nature center. � •► : • ; M Conduct the continued public hearing considering the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment, comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning to R-3, subdivision, CUP for Facility in excess of 25 units and mining aii reiated to the proposed Dakota County HRA senior hausing project.

Following is a response to the issues tha� I have been asked to respand �o: 1. Lowerina the Building Elevation: Attached i� a letter from the architect for this devel.opmen� describing the building elevation aptions. The site plan we have pre�en�.ed reduces �he exis�.ing grade about f ive feet . We had asked the architect �o look at reducing the grade further. At�ached is a copy af his le�ter which indicates that the grade could be further reduced bu�. it qui�e expensive. Assuming a cost of $S.OQ per yard of excess soil rernoved from the site, it woul.d cast abou�. $16,500.00 for each additional foot the grade is lowered for the building. This number coul.d be lower or higher depending an demand for fill at the time the project is bid. � While it is gossible to further Iawer the si�e grade, we do no� have it included in our canstruction budget. 2. Modification o� the Berm Area on the East Property Line: The le�.ter fram the architect also describes the changes we are making �.o �he grading plan to allow £ar a longer and higher berm with larger deciduous and conifer plantings. These changes have been made an the plans, 3. Chancrinc� the Exterior to AZI Briek: � . I It is possible to make the building exterior all brick, however, again we did not have this included in aur construction budget. I�. could be done as a bid al�ernate and the City of Mendata Height� could decide if they wanted to pay for the addition.al cost to have an a2i brick exterior. We did this in the Ci�y of Hastings where the city opted to pay tor �he all brick exterior. ' ".3N EQU.�L OPPQRTUNITI' �tilPLO�'ER" x� � -2- 4. Additional Information Reaarding ParkinQ Requirements: We have 55 underground parking spaces provided for the 65 apartment units. This is a higher ratio of underground spaces than we have at any of our other seven senior housing facilities like the one proposed for Mendota Heights. We typically provide underground spaces for approximately two-thirds of the apartment units and have found this to be adequate in all of our buildings so we expect that we will be able to meet the needs for all of our residents with cars with the underground spots. In addition, we had 19 surface parking spots for visitors . Because of the concerns that have been raised by the planning commission about providing adequate parking, we are adding 8 additional surface spots at this time. Proof of parking shows where additional spots could be added at some point in the future if needed. We have sufficient parking at all of our buildings. On any given day at most of our buildings, generally not more than 5 to 10 ten surface spaces are utilized. By adding the additional 8 spots at this time, we will have a total of 27 surface spots for guest parking. A chart is included that provides information regarding parking provided at all of our other buildings. 5. Information Recrardincr the Lot Size: The attached chart also shows a comparison the other senior housing facilities regarding the number of units per acre allowed under the zoning for each site. At 13.83 units per acre, the Mendota Heights Senior Housing would have the lowest density of the Dakota County HR.A developments. Because we do not have tot lots, swimming pools, tennis courts or other auxiliary buildings, and because the average household size is small in senior housing, these density levels work just fine. 6. Information Regardinq the Unit Size: The unit sizes being proposed for the Mendota Heights senior housing facility are the same as in our other facilities. These have been well received by the seniors which is demonstrated by the fact that we have over 1,000 seniors on our waiting lists for the various buildings, if seniors are on the waiting list at more than one building, we only count them once when looking at the total number of people waiting for housing units. We feel it is important to keep the buildings fairly similar in terms of unit size and amenities and we do not think it is necessary to deviate from the typical unit sizes. � '� In summary, the Dakota County HRA has made �he following changes to our original site plan: ' • The site lighting was reduced by approximately 45 percent. • The grading on the eastern property line was revised to accommodate a berm. Additional trees were added to this part of the property and some of the trees were increased in size. • Eight additional surface parking spots are being added at this time. At this time, we respectfully ask that the Planning Commission act upon the request as submitted with the above referenced changea. We strongly believe that the proposal with the changes we have made will be seen as an asset to the community when it is completed. We understand that the zoning code would need to be amended prior to approving this project. Approval of the zoning changes would be consistent with the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act which encourages communities to provide life cycle housing options. Sincerely, � �� Kari R.

As yau knaw, the site plan we've presented places the first floor elevatian at elevatian at 861. The highest paiat of the narth half of the site shawn at 895.98 an the survey. We've already lowered the building almost five fee� The 861 first floor elevation is eleven feet abave the cut-de-sac �Ievation af 850. I called Brian Mundsiock �t Sunde Faigineering. After doing some calculations he told me that far every foot we lower the building we wili have to removc and extra 3,300 cubic yards of soil from the site. He explained that sail remaval casts are about $5.40 per yard but cau vary depending on need for fiit on other projects in the area. iTsing this number� it will cost $16,500.00 per foot to lower the building elevation. We met with the Dodge Nature Center in the labby before the last plannix�g on February 27. We discussed some options to lessen the building imgact an the I3odge Nature Center. I exptained that instead of the gadual descending grade shown on the east eleva6on we could hold the grade higher along the builcling and drop off at a s�teeper grade down ta the garage doar. This will msult in a higher and larger plateau on which we can build a longer and higher berm. We can r�infarce this with iarger ptantings of deciduous and conifer ptantings. These changes wili reduce the building elevation facing east by as much as ten feet. I've enclased (2) prints of the alternative site plan. One print shaws the grading and ane print shows both the grading and planting. We discussed the possibility of making this an all brick building. We can easily leave this option open by incorporating an add altemate into aur dacuments. It would ask for an aciditional cost to Thresher Square amit the siding and to brick the entire bwlding.

It is likely that whatever ordinance language is proposed with respect to operating conditions will not be available for me to look at before the meeting so at the time I write this letter I have no idea specifically of what will be� proposed. I do however have some observations about the process we have been through and about what we should recommend. ; While it appears that the City Council has made a commitment to Senior Housing and perhaps even a commitment to sixty-five units of Senior Housing, they certainly have made no commitment with respect to the design of ;the facility or to any specific modification of the R-3 Standards to accommodate the HRA proposal. �' ' It seems to me that the HRA has been modestly presumptuous in coming to the Planning Commission with complete architectural drawings of a facility which clearly did not meet the design standards of an R-3 Zoning Classification in the expectation that we would modify our R-3 Standards to specifically accommodate that design. . ! At our last meeting when we were considering reduced standards and attempted to obtain from the HRA some idea of the usable community areas which are a legitimate tradeoff against smaller living areas, the HRA was unable to provide us with that significant information. � ! I am not opposed to Senior Housing. It is desirable and necessary in this community. What I am interested in is seeing to it that such housing provides adequate 313859.1 Planning Commission Members March 18, 1996 Page two living space, adequate community space, adequate parking on an adequate parcel of land in a way that does not significantly and adversely affect adjacent properties and is consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. Screenin� While I agree with the comments made at the meeting that the Dodge Nature Center site is already "adversely" affected by other facilities in the area which can be viewed from their premises e.g. Sibley High School, the shopping center and adjacent residential areas, it seems to me that that fact does not provide a license to surround them with more. We should therefore be sensitive to being sure that adequate screening is provided and that the lighting is not obtrusive, etc. Parcel Size The HRA proposal is for 25 two bedroom units and 40 single bedroom units contained in a tree-story building. Under the existing R-3 requirements the lot size for that many units in a three-story building would be as follows: 40 units x 5,100 sq. ft. + 25 units x 6,050 sq. ft. = 204,000 sq. ft. + 151,250 sq. ft. = 335,250 sQ. ft. 355,250 sq. ft. divided by 43,560 (1 acre) = approximately 8 acres. The HRA has asked to place this facility on a 4.7 acre parcel. I have heard no justification for a smaller size parcel except that Seniors require less space. While that may be true, the primary reason for having a suitably sized parcel is to keep adequate green space in our community and to avoid the crowded look and heavy density that smaller parcels create. I can therefore find no justification for reducing the size of the parcel just because Seniors will live on the premises. 313859.1 Planning Commission Members March 1.8, 199b Page three Unit Size - Community Space � The County progoses ta reduce the size of each unit by 20°lo so that where our ordinance requires 750 sq. ft. for a single bedroom unit they want to reduce that to 6Q0 sq. ft. and for a two bedroom from $00 sq. ft. to b40 sq. ft. If that reduction is offset by a reasonable amount of cammunity space then perhaps the reductian is justified. Unfortunately, we have not received any information from the County as to the size of the community space and though I attempted ta obtain zt when I was writing this letter, I was still unable to do so. , 'The facility ought to provide far meeting ar conference raoms, recreational ��faeiiities, fitness facilities and space far hobby facilities, e.g. waodworking, sewing, crafts, etc, I don't know haw much community space there should be, but I suggest that it be expressed as a percent af the cumulative loss in square feet of unit size determined under Sectian 12.2.(7)3 of the attached proposed amendment of our zaning ardinance. Starage Space T do not believe that there should be any reduction in the size of the storage area. It is my perception and my e�erience that Seniors who move from single family dwellings are likely to have significant storage requirements and SO square feet, which the ordinance now requires is little enaugh, Parkin� We should require one underground parking space per unit (65) and 1/2 parking space per unit outside (32). This would resuit in a total o£ 97 parking spaces or according to my count, about 16 more than the HR.A grogoses. Again it is my perception and my e�erience that even this will be inadequate because all the visiting is on weekends and holidays and the outside spaces will not be adequate on those occasions even at the higher number. ' 313859.1 Planning Commission Members March 18, 1996 Page four I have attached a.proposed ordinance which reflects my views as set forth above. I have left blank the required amount of community space because I don't have an adequate frame of reference from which to make a suggestion. • Operational Requirements I have not attempted to address operational requirements for landlords of Senior Housing. I'm not concerned about the County in this regard but we must be concerned about private developers and I don't think we can afford the luxury of waiting until after the HRA project goes forward to address those concerns or we will be accused of favoritism and discrimination against the private developer. Very�truly yours, ,�� ` �� „ ? f �,�� -, � 'C Yi! •�Ix.�f � � � r• � f Bernard P. Friel BPF:tm Enclosure cc: James Danielson P.S. I have just received a listing of the community spaces proposed for the new Senior facility. While the number of square feet is fairly impressive, what is included in reaching the total is not. I would exclude entry halls, lavatories, coatrooms, mailrooms, laundry and grand stairways. I am not sure whether storage that they refer to is the storage that they proposed to reduce to 30 square feet or whether it is in addition to that storage. If it is the former that is double counting. With all the press we have had in the last ten years about the necessity for the elderly to be fit, a facility which lacks a fitness center ought not to be permitted. The architect's letter describing the common areas is attached for your information. After review of his letter, I believe that 50% of the lost living area should be recovered in common (community) area. In this case the loss is 10,000 square feet so the common community area excluding mailrooms, stairways, etc. would for this project be 5,000 square feet. �. .

This letter was sent follovving the Planning Commission meeting on January 23,1996 regarding the senior housing proposal. Each item is addressed in the order listed in the letter. 1. Provide a guarantee that the use will remain exclusivelv for Senior �ousin in p�etuitX: Perhaps the best mechanism is to include it as a condition of the Conditional Use Permit approval. Other communities have done this to require that the property remain for Senior Housing in the future; any change to this would require City Council approval. The City Attorney can perhaps give some guidance on this approach. The Dakota CounTy HRA intends to be a long term owner and keep the development for Senior Housing. We would be comfortable with such a condition because of our long term plans. It is also expected that demand for Senior Housing in Dakota County will also continue to increase well into the next century. A decrease in demand would be the primary reason a change of use would be contemplated. Based on demographic information available, it is anticipated that the demand for senior housing will continue to grow. I 2. Clarification of the ownershin of the underl,Ying �ee owners: When the site was initially identified, we followed the lines of the MnDOT right-of-way to deternune the potential site configuration. After clarifying all of the Lmderlying fee owners it was deternuned that the Dodge Nature Center was the underlying fee owner of a small triangular piece on the northeastern portion of the proposed site. Because of the covenants on the Dodge Nature Center property, we eliminated that small piece from the site. At this time, the site does not include any land for which the Dodge Nature Center is the underlying fee owner. � - "AN EQLJAL OPPC?RTU1�ITl' E�1PLC�1'EF" f � �� . � - � • � � • ' � � � . � - � ! � � • • t - � � • ' � • � � 1� ' � � - � ! , � � � � The revised site plan submitted shows revision to the site lighting plan. This new lighting plan reduces lighting levels by 42%. The original lighting plan consisted of seven luminazes. Six of them were 250 watt high pressure sodium fixtures on 20 faot poles. The seventh was a 250 watt lugh pressure sodium wall pack type fixture surface mounted over the gazage door. The new plan eliminates the wall mounted fixture over the gazage door because it was a source of glare. The new plan uses seven luminares with a 42% reduction in light levels while still providing the recommended minimum of .5 foot candles on the parking and walkway surfaces. We accomplished this by cazefully relocating the light standards. The new fixtures are 150 watt high pressure sodium light sources in cut off or "shoebox" fixtures. These fixtures are designed for maximum concealment of the light source. They will be mounted on 20 foot poles. Lower poles would have resulted in a lighting plan with more fixtures, more surface bright spots under the fixtures and more sources of glare at the fixtures. We considered bollard style lighting but eliminated it because it could be blocked by any vehicle parked in front of the bollard. This new plan will result in a lower, more even light level on the surfaces and a minimum of luminare sources of glare in the evening sky. The .25 candle power isobars illustrated on the plan are more than six feet from any property line. The sidewalk between the curb and the front door will be lighted by recessed down lights in the canopy ceiling. We tried to reduce the light levels as much as possible while maintaining a safe lighting level for senior housing. 4. Soften the curves on the trail and address paving, the trail all the wav to Friendlv Hills: The revised site plan also shows the softened curves on the trail. We agreed that the sharp curve should be revised; we hope this revised plan accomplishes that successfully. The Dakota County HRA staff is still working the city staff to determine if we can extend paving the trail all the way to Friendly Hills. If it is financially feasible and if we can find an allowable mechanism to finance this, we will consider extending the path beyond our property line. � s- .� -� � � . � �- . � � '1 .-. - We do understand the reason for this request and we had also asked our azchitect to explore something similar before arriving at the final site plan presented to the Planning Commission. However, after reviewing this again, we feel that the current northern orientation should remain for the following reasons. The building entry should relate to the side of the site where the most people will see it. Therefore, the entry was oriented north -3- from their central locations in the building, over look the protected courtyard area, the new cul-de-sac and the driveway entrance. The walkway from the drop azea will be covered to protect people from rain, ice and snow as they approach the building. � A central westward orientation would result in an entry and public spaces visually remote &om Plaza Drive and Hwy. 110. This would result in a side view of the building from Hwy. 110 and more of the building would be prominent from the Dodge Nature Center site. With a westem orientation, the west portion of the building is in full shade iantil afternoon and then is subject to glare from the low setting sun. For these reasons, we are maintaining the north orientation. . .-l�� . �, � ,- � � .- ��.- .�� , - � �- � .- -�� -. �� The revised site plan submitted shows the existing trees documented by the surveyor and the ones removed by the new construction. 7. piscuss the possibilitv of creatin� a two-storv building on the site with onlv the 40 '�ubsidized" units and without the 25 "market rate" units: ''� I will first address the issue of the number of stories in the building. It has been presented all along that the proposed Senior Housing facility would be a three-story building similar to other buildings completed by the Dakota County HRA. To achieve certain economies of scale, three-story construction for residential buildings is consiclered to be the most economical without getting to be too large of a structure. A two-story building was not contemplated when the financing was completed. To accommodate the same number of units, the building footprint would have to be enlarged which adds significantly to the construction costs. Typically apartment buildings with an elevator are at least three stories and often they are higher. We aze also concemed about the residential nature of the building when completed so we do not go higher than three stories. , Secondly, regarding the number of units, the building was originally expected to be 40 units. In response to requests from the city on how we could get additional units, we proposed the concept of adding 25 units that we will now call "moderate income" units. We tlunk this description is better than the term "market rate" because we will have a maximum annual income limit although it has not been deteimined at this point. The Cooperation Agreement approved by the City Council on December 19, 1995 was for 65 units at this site. For this reason, we have proceeded with a 65-unit building. The shape of the building helps to minimize the ntunber of units visible from any one angle. We think that this will be an attractive building with a residential feel.' -4- Aod�e Nature Center concems: � Although not addressed in the letter from the City, it has been brought to our attention that the Dodge Nature Center representatives have some concems at this time about the proposed housing. The main concern is the visibility of the buildi.ng from the Nature Center property. We cannot totally shield the building from being viewed by the nature center. However, in response to this concern we have added a small berm and a significant number of trees to that portion of the site. A three-foot berm was added to the west side of the pathway with trees planted on it. We have also made some of the Spruce trees 10 feet in height and some of the Sugar Maples 4 inches in diameter. These are larger trees than typically planted with new construction but want to hy to improve the landscape barrier between the building and the Dadge Nature Center property. This will be a cost concern but we hope that we can figure it out within our construction budget. We do think that the Senior Housing facility will be a good neighbor for the Dodge Nature Center. It is a potential source of volunteers for the Nature Center and the impact on the adjacent property is much less than many other potential uses of that site (including the major realignment of Dodd Road once anticipated). The primary change in our plans from when our stat�initially met with the Dodge Nature Center representatives is the number of units changing from 40 to 65. The shape and orientation of the building minimize the number of units seen from any one view of the building.

Their proposal is currently before the Planning Commission. At the last Council meeting on February 6, 1996 the Council raised questions about the following aspects of Senior Housing: 1. Eligibility criteria for residents. � 2. Differences between the "subsidized" and "market rate" units in the HItA proposal. 3. Differences between "private sector", "public sector" and "subsidized" Senior Housing. . 4. Mechanisms for ensuring that Senior Housing remains Senior Housing.

Please ask Staff for any further information. ;i; DAK(�TA COUNTY February 12, 1996 � Kevin Batchelder, Interim City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota. Heights, Minnesota 55118 Dear Mr. Batchelder: Housing & Redevelopmer►t Authority 6t2-423-4800 249G-145ch Sr. W. • Rosemounr, MN 55068 • T.D.L). 6I2-423-$182 • FAX G12-423 This letter is to respond ta the letter dated Febnzary 8, 1996 fram the City of Mendota Heights regarding the proposed senior housing development. Following is the response for.each of the items: 1. Describe the eligibility criteria: To be eligible for admission, an applicanfi rnust qualify as an eligible household. A househald consists af one or more persans who have a s#a.bie family-iype relatianship; and whase head of household or spouse is at least 55 years of age. No member of the household may be under S5 years of age except far a spouse of an eligible tenant or an empioyee required to Iive-in who is deternuned to be essential to the care and well being of the eligible tenant. Other relatives who are not at least 55 years of age would not be eligible ta reside in the buiid'zng. A non-eligible caze giver would not be allowed ta continue to reside in the building if the eligible tenant was no longer living in the unit. 2. �iff�renc�s between "subsidized" units and the "moderate income" units: The "subsidized" units will be restricted ta persans with an annual incame #hat is iess than 80 percent af inedian income adjusted far family size. A.s of January 1996, for a ane person hausehold the m�imum income is $29,100 and far a two person fami�y the maacimum income is $33,300. "�N ES.7UAL C�PPORTUNITY EMI'L(JYER" ! -2- Rather than calling the remaining 25 units "market rate," we feel that "moderate income" units is a better description. Under state law, the maximum income would be 110% percent of inedian income, which currently is $60,060 annually. We could use a more restrictive income, a final decision has not been made. Input from the City Council on this issue would be appreciated. ' The rents on the "subsidized" units will range from approximately �$270-$540 for a one bedroom and $370-$640 on a two bedroom unit, garages aze optiorial at $40 per month. Households pay 30 percent of their income for rent but not less than the minimum nor more than the maximum. � We have not finalized the rents on the "moderate income" units at this time. In our financing projections we anticipated a monthly rent of $620 for a one bedroom and $720 for a two bedroom unit. We will not deterniine the final numbers until we receive the bids for construction which may affect what we need to charge. It will be our objective to keep these rents as low as possible while covering our expenses. 3. Differences between the "�ublic sector," "�rivate sector" or "subsidized" regardin� the abilitX to limit residencv to seniors: The same criteria is applicable for a11 three categories, that is "public sector," "private sector" and "subsidized" with respect to limiting residency to senior housing. The law allows limiting residency to seniors as long as certain criteria is met. The federal law was recently amended to make it easier to meet this definition. We are trying to get a copy of the revised language, we will forward it on to the council once we receive it. The laws aze written to allow for senior only housing which is recognized as having certain benefits for the senior residents. 4. Mechanisms the City and/or the HRA could employ to ensure the �roposed housing development would remain senior housing in �erpetuitv• Perhaps the city attorney could provide some assistance in determining effective and constitutionally defensible mechanisms to achieve this objective. In some other cities, the requirement that it be for senior housing is included as a condition of the Conditional Use Permit. It is my understanding that in order for a building with such a requirement to become a general occupancy facility, that it would require approval by the City Council to authorize the use under the Conditional Use Permit. The financing for this housing was approved by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners for Senior Housing. It is cleazly the intention of the Dakota County HRA to keep this facility for senior housing and we will be long term owners of the facility. It is expecfed that the demand for senior housing will continue to increase well into the next century. A change in demand for senior housing would be the most likely reason for a potential change of use. With the babyboomers reaching age 55 in record numbers and people living longer than has historically been the case, it is expected that the demand for senior housing will continue to grow. �. -3- I am hopeful that fihis information answers the questions raised in the Febr�aazy 8,1996 tetter.

Rosemount, Minnesota 55068 Ms. Gill: �,. 1Viendota 1City o� �eights The City would like clarification of the following aspects of the Senior Housing project proposed by the Dakota County HRA for Mendota Heights: 1. Exact eligibility criteria for residents. We aze currently under the impression that only persons 55 years of age or older and their spouses are allowed to live in HRA Senior Housing. Recently the question azose as to whether or not other people were also allowed to reside, such as adult children of Seniors, paid or volunteer caretakers of Seniors, or other relatives. The City would appreciate an exact and complete list of criteria for eligibility. � 2. Any differences in eligibility of residence between the "subsidized" iurits and the "market rate" units, due either to law or HRA policy. � 3. Any differences between the legal ability of "private sector" senior housing and "public sector" or "subsidi�xd" senior housing to limit eligibility of residence to seniors. Is the private sector granted the same ability to discriminate by age as the public sector in the case of Senior Housing? � 4. What effective and constitutionally defensible mechanisms the City and/or the HRA could employ to assure that the proposed Senior Housing project remains Senior Housing in perpetuity. � Thank you for your cooperation.

John Uban i Dakota County HRA has been building senior facilities in many of the communities in Dakota County. The multi-housing facility represents the eighth complex to be constructed by Dakota County HRA under their 10 year Capitol Improvements Program. Their Eagan facility is close by for viewing by Planning Commission members. The proposal is for 65 units of both assisted senior housing and market rate rental units in a single structure with underground parking. The City has been working with Kari Gill of Dakota County HRA for over a year to find a suitable location for the County's facility. City staff has enclosed the past locational considerations and conclusions made by the City for your review. � The City of Mendota Heights is using four years of CDBG funds to assist in� the acquisition of the site. The building is located directly east of the Dakota County Bank building and southeasterly of Mendota Plaza. The properry is presently surplus State highway right-of-way. .Ianuary 23, 1995 Case 96-04 Page 2 The City ofMendota Heights several years ago undertook a study to look at the commercial area at H'ighway 110 and Dodd Road and the remaining potential for a realigned Dodd Road that uses the existing MnDOT right-of-way. Several configurations were reviewed of a loop road from Plaza Drive that would route traf�ic via an overpass northerly over H'ighway 110 and connect the commercial area on the north side to the south side. The conclusion of the study was that option needs to remain so the City could build that connecting overpass in the future but also, the surplus right-of-way on the south side not needed for the overpass could be used for other purposes. The proposed senior housing facility is located on that surplus right-of-way and accommodates the Plaza. Drive alignment that could be extended northerly in the future. The Downtown Study was completed in 1985 and reexamined just a few years ago confirming the overall direction for the downtown area with a looping bypass road through the downtown and over Trurik H'ighway 110 using portions of the Trunk I�'ighway 149 right-of-way. These past studies have also contemplated senior housing as an appropriate use in the surplus right-of-way areas adjacent to the Dodge Nature Center and close to the supportive downtown facilities. This site also represents the culmination of a senior housing site search that was reviewed in the Planning Commission/City Council workshop series in 1994 and 1995. The HRA has been assembling the purchase of the underlying fee ownership to the right-of-way which will be completed sometime in the near future. The Dakota County �IRA has submitted a good deal of background material on their senior housing program and its service base within the community. The process to approve this project is complicated because it requires a change in the Comprehensive Plan and a rezoning along with a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow senior housing facilities. The facility also needs a Conditional Use Permit for a multiple structure over 25 units and for grading of the site. The proposed text amendment would also create a Conditional Use Permit for senior housing within the R 3 Residential District. Changing the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance is the best planning approach to accommodating senior housing in the community. This is preferable to the procedure of granting numerous variances for a single facility which has the potential of setting precedence that future applications may draw upon. Dakota County HItA along with their architects, BRW Elness have spent a great deal of time developing a strong residential character for the building which will add an interesting landmark for downtown Mendota Heights. A public hearing is required for review of this project. Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The 1979 Mendota Heights Comprehensive Plan shows the future land use for the proposed senior housing project as right-of-way. Based on the 1985 Downtown Study and the review of those issues several years ago, it has been detern�ined that all the Trunk I�'ighway 149 right-of-way in this area will not be needed for future road improvements. A simple overpass connecting the north side and the south side using a portion of the right-of-way is the basis for future land use in this area. The 1979 � ,Ianuary 23, I99S Case 96-Q4 ; Page 3 ,, Comprehensive Plan has not been officially amended to illustrate these changes. This leaves surplus right-of way available for additional uses. The Comprehensive Plan amendment sought by Dakota County HRA wauld accommadate the needed right-af-way for the continuatian of an overpass while making available for the senior housing enaugh tand far a 65-unit devetopment, In arder to amend the Comprehensive Plan as specif ed in Section 5.9{3), exceptianal conditions must be found as a basis for that decision. The City in past studies has reviewed downtown develapment including exceptional canditions #]iat are appiicabie to this amendment. Additionally, seniar housing was contemplated in this area to accommodate the growing demagraphic numbers of peaple 55 years of age and oider in Mendota Heights. , This year, 199b, represents the year wher� the baby bac�mers offciaity start turning 50 years of age, We would expect that within a five to ten-year period, a strong increase in the need for additional housing far people wha are downsi�zing their homes after children have Ieft. This allows their single family homes to be owned once again by grawing families. As Mendota Heights accommadates lifestyle transitions of its ci#izens mare housing alternatives will be needed in Mendota Heights. The s�nior housing project is discussed quite thoroughty in the appiicant's narrative showing bath the demographic trends and how their proposed facility will operate. This particular site was chosen because senior hausing typicaily requires ciose praximity to community facilities suc� as grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, etc. Only one such place exists in Mend'ota Heights and that is Mendota Flaza. The senior housing will also have some beneficial effect on the e7cisting businesses and help develop a healthier downtovsm axea. For this reason, the Comprehensive P1an not only should be amended to idenfify hous�ng for the proposed site but also reflect in the text the impartance of senior housing and its locatianal criteria, '' Also important to consider in the Comprehensive P1an is the issae o£ density as it relates to senior housing. Typically seniar housing is, on a per unit basis, some of the mare dense develapment found in suburban locations, However, the population per unit is very iow. The Dakota County HIZA has indicated that they average 1.2 people per unit in their senior housing facilities. The average in Mendota Heights is abaut double that, and sa senior housing high density produces less actual population for the project area. � Based on how the senior hausing aperates, the designatian for seniar housing should be HEt H'igh Density Residential. The Comprehensive Ptan indicates high density is about ten units per acre. However, because there is about half the people per unit for senior housing,' the text for the high density residential designations should indicate that senior hausing could have a 1.5 density increase to produce about the sarne papulation base for a praject area. This means the 6S unit project at 15 units per acre would need approxirnately 4.3 acres. The proposed site is 4.7 acres and is adjacent to large areas af public park. j Senior housing also does nat need three bedroom units and are typically one and two bedroom .lanuary 23, 1995 Case 96-04 Page 4 apartment units. The units are usually downsized to be more efficient for housekeeping and compact for overall efficiency and afford ability. Part of the philosophy of senior housing is to encourage socialization through the creation of common areas which are not found in typical apartment structures. It would be typical then to see smaller unit sizes attached to structured common space for community support programs for senior citizens. These exceptional conditions were not expressed in the 1979 Comprehensive Plan and should be included with a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a future revision of the Mendota Heights Comprehensive Plan. Rezoning. The existing site has been an assemblage of underlying fee owners with land zoned B-1, B-4, R-1, and R-lA. To consolidate all of these into a single parcel and to comply with the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment the site is proposed to be rezoned to R 3 High Density Residential. The R-3 zoning is the highest density in Mendota Heights, the proposed facility however has requested standards within the R-3 District that are reflective of senior housing projects. The size of the units and lot area per unit need to be reviewed as applies to senior housing along with required parking and storage facilities. The R 3 zoning would be adjacent to the existing B-1 zone to the west and would border the B-4 zoning to the northwest. To the east is the R-lA zoning of the Dodge Nature Center, to the south is Friendly Marsh Park and the remainder of Trunk H'ighway 149 surplus right-of-way. This area is zoned R 1. T the proposed R-3 zoning not only follows the Comprehensive Plan but provides an appropriate transition between low density residential areas and the commercial zoning in the area. Zoning Amendments for Senior Housing Facilities. Because senior housing does not require as large a unit and has fewer people per unit, the demand for lot area, parking, and other requirements is not as great as you would find in typical apartment developments. The following is a proposed outline of text changes that would be appropriate to accommodate senior housing. This process of specialized requirements can be handled as a Conditional Use Pernut within the R 3 District. Senior housing would then become another heading under Ordinance 12.2(7). The existing requirements for lot area under Ordinance 12.4(4) require 5,100 square feet for one bedroom and 6,050 square feet for two bedroom units with a 300 square foot credit for each underground parking stall. This gives a total requirement for lot area of 338,750 square feet. The proposed site after the Plaza Drive right-of-way has been dedicated has 192,212 square feet of land area available. This lot size for the proposed facility accommodates all required setbacks, storm .lanuary 23, 1995 Case 96-04 ' Page S ponding, and access, while maintaining a significant open space area adjacent to existing single family homes. This shows that a reduction of 50 percent of the required lot area based on only half as many people living in each unit would not create an overdeveloped site and variances. Section 12.5(1) requires two and a half parking stalls per unit. This also can be reduced by 50 percent based on the low occupancy per unit and the reduced demand for parlcing in typical senior facilities. Many of these senior facilities use special transportation buses for outings and do not create parking demands above one parking stall per unit. A 50 percent reduction would require 1.25 parking stalls per unit. The size of the one bedroom units is required to be 750 square feet in Ordinance 12.4(3). Dakota County HRA proposes 660 square feet for this senior housing development. Because of common facilides and downsizing for efficiency, a senior housing project can operate on an ordinance standard meeting 80 percent of the unit sizes for one and two bedroom apartment units. ; There is no need for three bedroom units in a senior housing project and the Ordinance should state that three or more bedrooms are not allowed except for in the care taker's unit. �' Storage requirements within elderly housing can vary depending on design, but typically storage needs aze much less than typical family needs. The applicant is proposing 30 square feet versus the required SO square feet found in Ordinance 12.7(7). A 60 percent reduction of storage requirements is appropriate because of the low occupancy found in each unit. ' The following is an outline of a potential ordinance amendment for senior housing: Conditional Use Permit for R-3 District I 12.2(7) Senior Housing 12.4(4) 12.5(1) 12.4(3) 1. Designed, and operated specifically for people 55 years of age and older. 2. Certain design standards may be reduced if common area facilities and underground parking are provided. a. Lot area - 50 percent of requirement b. Parking - 50 percent of requirement c. Unit size - 80 percent of requirement for one and two bedroom units, three bedroom units not allowed d. Ctora�e - 60 percent of the requirement "f .Ianuary 23, 1995 Case 96-04 Page 6 Subdivision. The land is currently unplatted and therefor needs to be platted through a subdivision process. The Preliminary Plat has been submitted, which combines these underlying fee properties within the right- of-way into a single parcel. From the parcel, the right-of-way for Plaza Drive is dedicated with an Outlot A adjacent to Mendota Plaza on the northwest side of the right-of-way. Outlot A could be combined with adjacent property to facilitate a realignment for Plaza Drive is as it heads northerly toward I�'ighway 110. The survey has shown trees on the revised plat which are primarily located on the southern portion of the properly. The proposed storm pond should be reexamined to maximize the saving of trees in this area. A wetland investigation is still continuing on the southern undisturbed parcel, however, early indications are that na official wetland exists on the site. Through the subdivision process, a11 of the typical City fees will be covered under a development agreement with the City and the Dakota County HRA. This would include area sewer and water charges, sac fees, park dedication fees, and so forth. Conditional Use Permit for Senior Facility. A Conditional Use Pernut is required for structures with 25 units or more in Ordinance 12.2(2). Also, the proposed zoning ordinance amendment would require a Conditional Use Pernut specifically for a senior facility. Based on the proposed zoning amendment requirements the facility would not need any variances. The Site Plan places the three story structure just to the west of the Dakota County State Bank building. The portion of the site adjacent to the Friendly Hills single family homes is left as open space with a storm pond constructed to meet water quality requirements. The three story structure has a single entrance in the center with underground parking that is accessed through the pazking lot at the east end of the building. Fifty five-underground parking spaces are proposed for the facility. The main access to the site is through the extension of Plaza Drive across the northwesterly corner of the site. A Minor amount of right-of-way may be needed from Mendota Plaza. in combination with the new alignment. Improvements for the extension of South Plaza Drive will be petitioned by the HRA and City engineering will design and contract for those road and utilities improvements. Surface parking accommodates 19 cars with potential expansion for an additional 17 cars. A large landscaped island is in the center of the parking area making it attractive for the residential facility. The total cars available on the site including the 55 underground parking stalls is 91. The proposed revised ordinance requirements would require 81 parking stalls. F' . f ,Tanuary 23, 1995 Case 96-04 Page 7 An e�rterior sign is propased to be placed at the entrance with the required ten foot setback. The sign is ptaced between two brick columns and is twetve square feet in size for each sign face. The lighting on the site has been shown and will be shielded from any spillage onta adjacent property. A Landscape Plan is provided showing evergreen plantings at key points screening views of the facility from the west. t�verstary trees Iine the parking lat and driveway with shrubs and ornamental tree,s in the common areas and entrance way. Irrigation is also proposed far the site. The City trail system is also recanstructed an the site ta maintain the connectian between �ity park and Niendota Plaza. The Landscape Plan shauld includs a revegetation af the grading necessary for the canstructian of the pond. At this point, the pian daes nai reflect that construction. Additionaity, e�sting trees on the site shoulci be saved when possible and the design af that pond should be reexarnined. The building design has develaped a unique residential character which blends both brick and siding together in a traditionat design. The calors far the brick and sid'mg have not yet been chosen but will be in character with the traditionai design of the building. The building is designed ta have a low maintenance e�erior with architectural details all araund the building so there is no apparent baak side. The architect estimates that about 25 percent afthe exteriar is brick and the remainder will be low maintenance siding and decarative concrete block. The raofing is fiberglass shingles and the air- conditioning units are shown integrated into the overall exterior design with' each residential unit having its own e�erior air conditioner. These air-conditioning units will project about 6 inches from the building surface and will be painted ta match the exterior surface. �, Conditional Use Permit for Mining. Because of the elevation of the site and the constructian of a full basement for underground parking, appro}cimateiy 30,000 cubic yards of fiI1 wili be remaved from the site, thus reqairing a CUP for mining. Disposal of this material has not been decided an yet, but th� possibility of placing the fill on the i��nDOT right-of-way to begin the construction of a future overpass �would be appropriate. This would eliminate the 3,000 truck trips needed ta haul the material of the site over public roads. The options avaiiabie to the City for the creative use of this surptus fiii materiai can be exptared as South Plaza Drive is designed by the City engineering department. Action. A public hearing is required and recommendations sent to the City Cauncil regarding the praposed Comprehensive Plan amendment ta �Iigh Density Residentiat, rezoning ta R-3, Zoning Ordinance amendment, subdivisian, Building Conditional Use Pernut and Mining Conditional Use Pernut.

Heights senior housing development. The Camprehensive Plan was written in 1979 when the existing right-af-way was still being heid for a possible realignment of State Highway 149. Since that time, the city's past study has shawn that the right-of-way is no langer needed for the abandoned highway realignment. Currently, this is a confusing area shawing the right-of-way and a variety of underlying zoning classifications. ` i 'The Mendota Heights senior building is being constructed in response ta housing needs ind'zcated in the first mazket study conducted by Health Planning and Management far the Dakata. County Y�tA in 1988 and updated again in 1993. In addition, in September of 1995 we looked more closely at the senior population in the Mendota Heights market area (identified as zip codes 55120, 55150 and 55118) to determine the number af units we should constrc�ct in the city of Mendota. Heights. The senior population in this area is expected ta continue to increase bath within Mendota. Heights and the Mendata �Ieights market area. Please see attached excerpts from the September 1995 study which show that the senior papulation will increase from 7.9% to 10.3% of the total population in zip code 55120 between 1990 and 2000; at the same time, �tie total poputatian is expected to increase from 3,113 ta 4,839. It is expected that this housing development will help the adjacent comrnexcial property since this development wiii be walking distance to the Plaza shopping center and the bank» The site is next to open space and major traffic corridors, The lacatian of the building on the site should not have a negative impact on the single family housing in the adjacent neighborhood. Proximity to shopping, services, and transportatian were import�ant factors which were considered when this site was selected for a senior housing development. "AN ES�UAL Ul'P��RTUNITY EIviPLOYER" The building will have a lazge community room that is a primary focus of the building. In addition to individual residents being able to use this room for personal use, the community room will be used for many events for all of the residents to encourage social interaction among the residents; this is an important part of the senior housing program. There aze other common azeas such as laundry rooms and lounge areas that are utilized by all of the residents. The existence of these areas in a senior building allows for slightly smaller individual dwelling units than may be found in traditional rental developments. Please contact me with any questions on the above information at 423-8111. Attachments SENtOR HtJUStNG DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (SHCIP) EXECUTNE S1�MMARY The purpose of the Senior Housing Development Program (SHDP) is to provide far the construction of law and moderate income seniar housing in Dakata County in the coming years. Although Federal funding has been declining, the need for senior hausing in Dakota County has been growing. These seniors currenfily wiEl wait an average of two years before they are served. The SHDP proposes fihe construction of ten senior hausing developments throughout the Caunty by 1998. This will 6e accomplished through the utilization of a wide array of financing mechanisms including General Obiigation Development Bonds, Tax Inerement Financing Assistance, a 113 miil levy from property taxes, and Community Development Block Grant Funds. Overall, these acivantages provide the HRA wifih a powerful financial vehicle for providing affordable seniar hausing. The costs involved far each individual development in the SHDP include construction costs, saft costs, land acquisition, site impravements and demoiitian, public improvements and debt service on the bonds. , To date, seven such developmen#s have been completed in the cities of Lakeville, Burnsville, Eagan, Hastings, West �t. Paul, Inver Grove Heights, and Apple Valley. Aiso, site acquisitian is underway for the remaining three developments in the cities af Mendota Heights, South St. Paul, and Rosemount. ' M � • ` � ... • , ..._ ■ ,... II_1 During the past severa� years, firaditional federal funding programs (Low Rent Housing and Section 8 New Canstructian} have not been funded far this purpose. The remaining federal program (Section 202), although still funded, has received dramatic funding reductions. Since 1980, anly 9 84 senior housing units have been pravided through federal funding in Dakota County. A Section 202 development was recently funded in the City of Burnsville. � � A[though funding has been declining, the need for senior housing in Dakota Caunty has been growing. There are over 1 r548 senior households currently on the waiting fist in the Caunty far low incame housing; the waiting lists have increased 50°Io from two years ago. The average senior will wait about two years before th�y are served. In addition, there is a tatal of 3,207 elderty househo(ds in Dakota County still in need of rental assistance.- , The SHDP is a very meaningful step towards meeting senior housi �ng needs in the County. The overall capital improvement program of the SHDP calls for the construction of ten senior housing developments throughout the County, each with between 44 and 60 �mitc. � ` ��l�T��L�1il -2- The Dakota County HRA, in conjunction with the County and respective Cities, developed a financing program which utilizes General Obligation Development bonds, tax increment financing assistance, a County mill levy and Community Development Block Grants. Affordable rents are a major objective with minimum one bedroom rents of 5265 and two bedroom rents of 5365 and maximum rents are 5535 for a one bedroom and 5625 for a two bedroom. Residents pay 30% of their income toward rent, but not less than the established minimum rents. It has and will be necessary for the Dakota County HRA to contribute about 85% of debt coverage through the supplemental revenues of both Tax Increment assistance (because TIF districts can be used under state law to finance housing construction costs in publicly owned housing developments) and through a 1/3 mill levy from the County which can be used to pay debt service on the project's bond issue. In addition, land and public improvements have been paid in part with CDBG funds for the Lakeville, Burnsville, Eagan, Hastings, West St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights and Apple Valley projects, and likely will be used in this manner in the future. The three remaining developments are planned to be spread throughout the County in order to address the housing needs of low and moderate income seniors throughout the County. The upcoming projects are to be located in the Cities of South St. Paul, Rosemount and Mendota Heights. Each development is expected to consist of between forty and sixty units and may include such amenities as a library, community room/dining area, kitchen and outdoor patio, underground parking and an on-site caretaker. • •� As previously mentioned, the SHDP was developed with the cooperation of both Dakota County and the various cities within its' borders. The County and its' Board of Commissioners has an important role in the financial aspect of the program, in that the County agreed in a resolution dated August 8, 1989 to provide financial assistance to the senior housing program in the form of a 1/3 mill levy annually. It is anticipated that the levy will provide over $1,600,000 in funds for the calendar year 1995. Dakota County has the ability to provide this mill levy assistance to the project because of legislation which enables the HRA to levy outside of levy limitations. RESULTS To date, seven developments have been completed and all are 100% occupied by low and moderate income seniors. Currently, the seven completed developments have 1,918 households on the waiting list. It is anticipated that seniors will wait two to three years to be served.

The Dakota County HRA. is requesting the follawing approvals at #his time: A. Preiiminary Plat $. Comprehensive Plan Amendment � C. Rezaning to R-3 � D. Zaning Te}ct Amendment {Density and parking requirements far senior housing) E. Conditional Use Permit (Sections S.6 and 12.2(2) of the zoning code) Fallowing is some additional information on the variaus approvals being requested: A. The Preliminary Plat will be submitted an January 2, 1995. ' B. l. The proposed senior housing will consist of 65 unzts in ane building. There wiit be 40 one bedroom units and 25 two bedroom units with 54 underground pazking spaaes. The units will be availabie to seniors SS years and oider. Currentiy, the average age of seniors living in HRA senior facilities is 75 years. The building will inciude severai features designed far seniors, for example, emergency puii cords in each unit, grab bars. in bathrooms, underground parking, security entrances, handrails in the hailways, raised electrical outiets, strobe 1'zghts an the unit fire alaams and a lazge community roorn with a serving kitchen for organized activities. Atso see attached summary of the senior hausing program administered by the Dakata. Caunty HRA. :�\ 1:�.�t.':�1_c�!'P��i:TL'\!"` ,:�:i`i_��l'}_1:' � � -2- 2. The Dakota County HIZA has issued honds backed by Dakota County. These bonds have heen sold and the financing has closed. The HRA will be able to access these bonds to pay for development costs related to this project. In addition, the City of Mendota Heights is providing Community Development Block Grant funds for the land acquisition. 3. The property is in MN Dot Right-of-Way with several underlying fee owners. We have received approval to acquire the MN Dot Right-of-Way assuming we have the underlying fee. We aze working with the underlying fee owners and we hope to have the site acquisition completed by the end of January. 4. Assuming all approvals are received by mid-February, we would expect to complete the design of the building and go for bids this spring with a construction start by June 1, 1996. It is anticipated that construction would take about eleven months with occupancy to occur azound Mazch or April of 1997. 5. The dwelling units are designed for independent living with a complete kitchen, bathroom, one or two bedrooms and living/dining area. There is also a separate storage azea for each unit. There will be 54 underground parking stalls for the 65 units; this is the maximum number of stalls that we feel is necessary to meet the needs of our senior residents. The density is approximately 14 units per acre. 6. There are no industrial or commercial uses with this development. 7. There is no commercial development in this proposal. 8. The floor area ratio of the proposed building is 11 %. There will be 40 one bedroom units and 25 two bedroom units for a total of 65 units. The size of the site is 4.7 acres. The total square footage of the site is 204,782. C. Rezoning - We are requesting that the entire replatted parcel be rezoned to R3. The current zoning is a mix of uses on the various parcels. R3 appeazs to be the appropriate zoning designation for multifamily senior housing. D. Zoning Text Amendment - We are proposing a zoning density of approximately 13 units per acre. This density level is less dense than other HR�� senior facilities in the County. The average household size is about 1.2 persons per dwelling unit in our senior housing. Since there are no children and household size is low, we feel this zoning density is appropriate. Parking is proposed based on our experience with eight other senior facilities in the County that we directly own and manage. The total number of pazking space proposed is 74 for a 1.14 to 1.0 ratio. Also proof of parking is being submitted if needed in the future. We have not had parking issues at the proposed level in similar senior facilities. It is our understanding that the city planner would prepaze the zoning text language needed. � S' -3- E. Conditional Use Permit - the required pians far a conditzonal use pernut have i�en prepared and will be submitted by the HRA's architect and consultant. WE hope the abave information is heipful in processing our request. If you should need additianal information, please ca11 me at 423-8111. � r �•; . , . r. .... �.�.. s.. , .

MiNNESdTA 55158-3 Michael Dwyer, Chair Mendota Heights Planning Cammission City of Mendata Heights 1101 Victoria Cuzve Mendota Heights, MN 55118 Dear Mr. Dwyer: {612t QSS•4531 FAX t6i21 4'S5-2S75 FEB 2 0 1956 , �r�.�• '_' "r V��/ •rrr�rM�r�ti�Y�� rr• 1 I am writing to express the Dodge Nature Center's concern and oppositian to tite Dakota Caunty HRA senior housing project as prapased far the Iand immediately adjacent to �e Dodge Nature Center property located in Mendota Heights. This change in the Nature Center's pasition is a consequence of the change in the scope of the project. As presented to me in 1995 by representatives of the HRA, it was ta be a far more modest development than is �row proposed, and was ta have been screened from Dodge Nature Center praperty. ; I rnet with representatives of the HRA in April, 1995, and was told by fihem thafi the project would contain 40 rental units and would be landscaped so as not to be readily observable from the Nafure Center's property. Based upon fhose assurances the Dadge Nature Center's Board of Directars authorized me ta draft a letter expressing the Nature Center's suppart for the proposed project {Attachment 1}. I was thus st-unned ta learn at the 23 january meeti�zg af the Planning Commission that the scope of the praject had been dramatically increased, to 65 units. The plan is different from what was discussed with me in Apri1,1995. As a consequence af ,the increased size of the project, the three-skory with gable roaf design of the building, and its location on a hill, the building would have a negative effect on the western boundary of the Nature Center (Attachment 2). Furthermore, by building ta the edge af the hi11, the HRA representafiives at the Pianning Commission meeting admitted it would nat be practical to try and screen, in any significant way, the view of the building from the Nature Center's trails. Instead, at one ppint in the meeting they actually promoted how the building size and design would give its residents a splendid view over the nature center and adjacent undeveloped land! I am very disappointed that the scope of the project is sa diffexent than what I had been told it would be and that the Nature Center was never cansulted by the HRA regarding these changes. I urge the Planning Commission nat ta approve the plan as presez�ted at your 23 january meeting, but rather to insist that the HRA conform to their intent, as expressed to me last April, to build a building that would be screened from view fram Nahxre Center property, even if that requires eliminating the for-prafit rental units in the structure and returning it to a 40 unit size building. There appears to be sufficient opext space on the western side of the praperty to move the building away frorn the east property line so that a bexm with trees can be constructed on to� of the hill where fihe building will be situated. Please insist Ehat the HRA do this. If ihis is dane so that the building is weli-screened fram Ehe Nature Center's praperty, then the Nature Center would be able to support the project. Another option would be to relocate the entire project to fihe sectian of property soutll of the site now praposed. In that location the seniors would have a scenic view while being better screened from the Nature Center. It i� 317y t�i�derstai-�di�;� that tliis la,tc�r o}�ti�,n �•,•.. :��t ��,��n coz��id�>reci. � Recycled Paper The Dodge Nature Center has embarked upon development of a biological plan for the Lilly Preserve. That plan, which is being prepared by consultants from the University of Wisconsin at Madison Arboretum, is scheduled to be completed by 1 Apri11996. A copy of the charge to the consultants and their prel'uninary site analysis is enclosed (Attachment 3). I request that the Planning Commission not approve any HRA proposal until after I have had an opportunity to present this biological plan to the Commission and to discuss the Nature Center's long-term intentions for the Lilly Preserve. You will otherwise not be able to fully appreciate the negative effect on the Nature Center of the HRA proposal, nor what the City of Mendota Heights and its citizens will irretrievably lose should the HRA be permitted to encroach on Mendota Heights' most unique piece of preserved wild land.

The 40 units of sez�ior rental hausing you propose for the Mendata Heights site next to the I�Iature Center's land is compatible with the future pians that the Nature Center has far its adjacent property, provided that (1) the buitding and any associated structures are not taller than the three stories now proposed, and (2) landscaping is done to shield the building from the view of individuals walking on nature center land east of the proposed building site. If the height and landscaping conditions are met, the opinion expressed at the Baard meeting was that your praject would be the most compafiible (with the Nature Center) proposal yet advanced. Shart of using that land for a park or church, few ather uses of the land could be envisaged that would be more compatible. 2. As your plan calls Eor use of only four of the ten acres of tax forfeited land, the Nature Center's endorsement of the project remains contingent on how the remaining six acres will be used. Commercial or ather incompatible .. � �.. development of those six acres could have severely deleterious effects on our property. For the recard, the Nature Center is interested in acquiring those six acres. Transfer of ownership of those six acres to the Nature Center, a 50I {c} (3) public charity, would serve the public good. With that acreage there would be sufficient space between the commercial piaza to the west and the Mendota Heights United Congregational Church ta the east to permit the Nahzre Center to incorparate that area inta its lang-range.. trail and land restvrations plans. It would make it feasible for the Nature Center to da plantings and develop a traii in that area for the hiking pleasure of residents of the Seniar Citizens housing pro}ect and others. 3. af �he tax forfeited land nat proposed far inciusion i n your project, the Nature Center is particularly interested in the portion that is to the east af the present drainage ditch. I look forward ta working with you as the Senior Citizen housing project develops. It appears to me that the long-zange interests of the Nature Center and yaur agency's desire to provide a superb environment far senipr members of our community may dovetail nicely, to the benefit of all concerned. Piease call me a�.455-8559 extension 211 to further discuss this project and the issue of how the remaining tax forfeited tand will be used.
