The meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM. The following members were present: Libra, Kleinglass, Spicer, Norton, and Liberacki. Linnel and Damberg were excused. Also present were Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander, Recreation Programmer Chris Esser, and Administrative Intern Patrick C. Hollister. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Libra moved to approve the January 9, 1996 M'inutes. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 MENDOTA HEIGHTS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T-BALL UPDATE The following people were present to discuss this agenda item: � Norm Gellerman, MHAA Executive Director • Sue Hanson, MHAA Executive Director • Ruth Lowenthall, Resident Ms. Lowenthall stated that she is considering suing the MHAA and/or the City for discrimination because the MHAA will not permit her 4-yeaz-old daughter to play T-Ball. Norm Gellerman provided an overview of the MHAA T-Ball program. Mr. Gellerman said that there are three levels of T-ball, one for 5-year-olds, one for 6-year-olds, and one for 7-year olds. Mr. Gellerman said that eight-year olds are eligible for baseball. Mr. Gellerman explained that children must be 5-yeaxs-old as of July 31 st to be eligible for the first level of T-Ball. Mr. Gellerman recalled that the MHAA used to allow even younger kids to play T-ball, and that this was not successful. He also remarked that many children younger than 5 were not ready to play T-Ball, leading some critics to refer to the program as "Diaper Ba11." Chairman Spicer asked if any exceptions could be made to the July 31 st cut-off date. Sue Hanson answered that exceptions would not be possible. Ms. Hanson said that it is impossible for the MHAA to evaluate younger children's' readiness to play T-ball, because among young children of the same age there is a great disparity in emotional maturity, attention span, and motor skills. Ms. Hanson recalled that in the past when children you�ger than 5 were allowed, it created bad situations. Ms. Hanson said that some childre� who were already in the T-Ba11 program before the July 31 st cut-off date was implemented have been "grandfathered" into their current level of T-Ba11. Ms. Hanson stated that if the T-ball program allowed younger kids to play, eventually age would become an issue anyway, because of strict age limits in baseball and softball. Ms. Hanson said that it would be better to be consistent now, rather than have to separate teammates down the road. Chairman Spicer asked how many kids were currently playing T-Ball. Mr. Gellerman said that he only had the figures for 1995. He said that 96 kids were in the first level (83% of whom were Mendota Heights residents), 122 kids were in the second level (77% of whom were Mendota Heights residents), and 121 kids were in the third level (77% of whom were Mendota Heights residents). Mr. Gellerman stated that many of the non-residents were actually from either Lillydale or Mendota. Chairman Spicer asked what the registration fee per participant was in T-Ball. � Mr. Gellerman said that the cost was $15. He added that the cost to the MHAA for each participant was a minimum of $23.60, hence the need for the municipal subsidy. He explained that some long-term equipment and supply costs are not included in this total. Chairman Spicer invited other Commissioners to ask any questions they may have. Commissioner Norton wished to know what the gender ratio was in T-Ba11. Sue Hanson responded that roughly two-thirds of the participants were ma1e.' She added that kids played three years of T-Ball and then advanced to baseball. Ms. Hanson also described programs in other cities. Mr. Gellerman said that the T-Ba11 program always has trouble finding space to play, and that it had to compete for space with Baseball and Softball. Mr. Gellerman reiterated that the T-Ball program does not conduct any evaluation of children's' readiness to play, and that the only criteria for eligibility was age. Ms. Lowenthall asked what the state-deternuned cut-off date for girl's softball was. Ms. Lowenthall said that she thought it coincided with the school year. Mr. Gellerman said that the softball cut-offdate for girl's softball was August 30. Mr. Gellerman said that the MH�1A used the age cut-off date of July 31, which is required by the Minnesota Youth Baseball Association. � Ms. Lowenthall stated that her 4-year old daughter, by misfortune of having been born between 7uly 31 and August 31, was to be excluded for life from playing T-Ba11 with the same children in her school classes. Ms. Lowenthall inquired as to the purpose of T-Ball. Was not the �rimary purpose, she asked, to teach sportsmanship, rather than training for higher-level $ports? Ms. Lowenthall complained that if her daughter were to join T-ball, all her classmates in school would be on a different team. Ms. Lowenthall said that the T-Ball program was on shaky legal ground. Ms. Lowenthall said that the system is set up for boys to the detriment of girls such as her daughter. She said that she has arranged for a coach to train her daughter in T-Ball if she is allowed in the MHAA program. Ms. Lowenthall complained that the MFiAA was too argumentative with her on the phone. She said that she was in favor of a September 1 cut-offto coincide with the school system. She said that there are many kids like hers who were born in a"bad month". Ms. Lowenthall declared that she is a lawyer. She said that the MHAA T-Ba11 program, and hence the City of Mendota Heights which subsidizes it, are in violation of Title 7. She said that she understands the need for a cut-off date, but that this particular date favors boys over girls. ' Commissioner Libra said that the same situation e�sts in soccer. He said that he coaches his daughter, and that discrepancies between age limits cause problems in that sport as well. Commissioner Norton suggested that making the sports cut-off dates consistent with the schools would solve these problems. Commissioner Libra stated that some parents want to hold their child back for a yeax from school, and at the same time push their child ahead in sports. Commissioner Norton said that such things are the parents' choice, and that they are not the sport's programs concerns. Ms. Hanson said that the MHAA cannot change the state sports associations' cut-off dates. She said that the MHAA thought about coinciding with the school date, but decided against it. She said that in some years a Transitional program has been created for kids in the "gap". Ms. Hanson told Ms. Lowenthall that she was sorry if she sounded harsh, that she did not intend to give that impression. Ms. Hanson said she sympathizes with Ms. Lowenthall's situation. Ms. Lowenthall said that she objects to using the Boys' Baseball cut-off date for T-Ball. She suggested that if the softball cutoff date were in August, participants could have the options of either petitioning or evaluation to move up. ` Mr. Gellerman said that in general, there is no traveling softball. Carnmissioner Norton asked about gixls' fast pitch. Mr. Gellerm�n said that those teams played under the Sibley Area Sting Assaciatian which had its own bylaws. Commissioner Norton asked what the cut-aff date was far Fast-Pitch. Mr. Gellerman said that it was in August. Ms. I3anson said that Dave Ayers helped creaie ihe July 3 2 cut-off date and he has three girls. She added that he would not have done this if he thought it was detrimental to his daughters. Cammissioner Libra said that the Soccer parents asked far a Kindergarten pragram, volunteered themselves as coaches, and set up a program for this age group. Ms. Lawenthall said that she had twa T-Ball caaches lined up for her daughter, Ms. Lowenthall threatened ta sue the MHAA and the City of Mendota Heights. ' Chairman Spicer said he used to be a lawyer. Mr. Spicer said that Ms. Lowenthati's iegal threat had little basis. Mr. Spicer said that the 1V�[HAA should rethink its cut-off date, but that he also understood that nat only state cut-aff dates, but even national cut-off dates were involved in this issue. Mr. Spicer said that his own son had never played Baseball with his own age group. Ms. Lowenthall repeated that the MHAA. has a"Title 7 prablem", because the system is set up for the boys' traveling baseball. Chai�man Spicer said he was sorry that Ms. Lowenthall felt that way, Ms. Hanson said that girls and bc�ys in the �4giA�� enjay ille same opportunities. She added that it is not the 1��l:HAA that is subsidized by the City, but the participants who are subsidized. Ms. Lowenthall asked what her ne� step is, since she urishes to pursue her complaini further. Chairman Spicer said that she is welcame to go before the City Council with her complaint. 11rSr. Gellerman added that there is also a grievance procedure wiihin the l��H:AA itself. � Ms. Lowenthall asked Mr. Gellerman to explain that grievance procedure. Mr. Gellerman provided Ms. Lowenthall with a copy of the MHAA bylaws. , Ms. Lowent1�a11 asked to be placed on the City Council agenda. Chairman Spicer advised her to either contact City Staffif she wanted to be put on the April 16 Council meeting agenda or to participate in the Public Comment portion of the next Council meeting. Commissioner Norton asked what the consequences would be of changing the cut-off date. Mr. Gellerman said that it would conflict with national cut-off dates. Commissioner Norton expressed concern that the existing cut-off date means that girls who miss the "time window" will miss out on the experience. Ms. Lowenthall asked how many kids were in T-Ba11 and how many kids were in Traveling Baseball. Mr. Gellerman responded that in 1995 there were 55 Kids in traveling baseball and 339 kids in tournament baseball. Mr. Gellerman added that everyone was welcome to try out and that evaluations were done to determine eligibility for these teams. Ms. Lowenthall asked for figures for Crirls' Softball. Mr. Gellerman responded that in 1995 there were 383 girls in "in-house" softball, including 2 or three tournament teams. Commissioner Kleinglass asked what the age of these girls were. Mr. Gellerman said that they were from eight to fifteen year old. Chairman Spicer said that the teams were always "mixed-age." Mr. Gellerman said that the MHAA does not guarantee that kids can play with their classmates. Commissioner Kleinglass suggested that Ms. Lowenthall talk to the MHAA on Monday. Ms. Hanson said that no matter what policy the MHAA adopted, someone would be upset. Commissioner Norton said that the MHAA should look at gender issues more closely. Cha.irman Spicer said that it wouldn't hurt to add a few kids. Commissioner Norton suggested that perhaps the cut-off date should be August 31 for , Crirls and 7ul�y 31 for boys. Ms. Hanson said that parents always want their kids to play in programs that they are not eligible for. Ms. Hanson said that the MHAA had picked a cut-off date, and that it was fina1. Commissioner Liberacki said that the current cut-off date was gender equal. He added that the MHAA had to pick a date and go with it. Mr. Liberacki remarked that life isn't fair. Mr. Liberacki asked for a motion. Commissioner Kleinglass suggested that Ms. Lowenthall attend the Monday night MHAA meeting. Commissioner Norton said that the MHAA should reconsider the cut-off date. Ms. Lowenthall said that she would participate first in the MHAA grievance procedure. Ms. Hanson invited the City to set up its own T-ball program for 4-year-olds not currently served by the MHAA. Chairman Spicer said that the City is not interested in operating a T-ball program. Commissioner Norton agreed with Chairman Spicer. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH REQUEST FOR MENDAKOTA FIELDS Pastor pon Delich of the Bethel Baptist Church was present to discuss his request. Chairman Spicer summarized that the Church would like to use Mendakota fields on Fridays. Spicer said that he believed that the Church was not in Mendota Heights, and that less than 50% of the participants in the Church softball program were Mendota Heights residents. Pastor Delich said that both assumptions were correct. He explained that the church is in Sunfish Lake. Pastor Delich said that he understood that the needs of Mendota Heights residents had to be taken care of first. He said that the arrangement between the Church and the City for use of the fields had worked well in the past. He said that the Church will be requesting use of the fields for $10 per field, even though the offcial price was $25 per field. He said that his League actually consists of a group of churches, and that their softball program is ma,inly to provide some low-key fun for families. He said that the League will clean up the fields when they leave, and that their own rules prohibit the consumption of alcohol or tobacco at games. Pastor Delich said that he is willing accept any arrangements for fields that the City can provide. Chairman Spicer asked if the Church needed at least 2 fields. � ,�� Pastor Delich responded that the Church would like to use a11 four fields at $10 per field. He added that he understood that the Coed league scheduled to use the fields on Friday evening was dropped from the schedule due to lack of interest. Recreation Programmer Chris Esser interjected that there is currently no provision for churches in the Field Reservation Policy. Chairman Spicer said that priority must be given to Mendota Heights youth. Mr. Spicer asked for a motion to allow the Church to use the fields for $10 per field, with the caveat that priority be given to MHAA in case of conflict. Commissioner Norton made the motion. Liberacki seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Motion carried. Chairman Spicer directed Staff to notify Norm Gellerman of the MHAA of the Commission's vote and to resolve any conflicts with the MFiAA. Commissioner Kleinglass asked Pazks Project Coordinator Guy Kullander if the Church's use of the fields involved any cost to the City. Mr. Kullander responded that it did not. Commissioner Linnel asked Pastor Delich if the Church would be using the fields every Friday. Pastor Delich responded that yes, they would. Mr. Esser said that as of this meeting, no other activities had been scheduled for the fields on Friday nights. Pastor Delich stated that his Church intended to use all four fields for about 150 people. 1995 SOFTBALL UMPIRE REIlVIBURSEMENT David Ehrlich and his fiancee, Rhonda arrived. , Chairman S�icer agreed to let them discuss their concern, even though it was not on the agenda. ' Mr. Ehrlich explained that last year his father sponsored and paid $450 for he and his companions to play 14 recreational softball games in a park on Dodd Road. He claimed that no umpire showed up for most games on Thursday and Monday nights. He said that on Thursdays more than half of the games were without an umpire, and on Mondays about 4 or 5 games had no umpire. Mr. Erlich said he wanted a refund for the teams that played on these nights. Mr. Esser said that he had talked to Shelli, the previous Recreation Programmer. Shelly said that her policy last year was that if no scheduled umpire arrived for a game, whoever served as substitute umpire would be paid instead. Chairman Spicer said that last year the Commission received a lot of complaints about truant umpires. He added that if Mr. Deeg would refuse to pay an umpire, Shelly would refuse to pay Mr. Deeg. Mr. Spicer said that most of the complaints were for Thursday games. Mr. Spicer said that the leftover money was put into the General Fund, and that this money should be resunected to somehow reimburse those who were victims of last year's problems. Mr. Ehrlich said that he didn't necessarily expect a full refund, but that he thought the teams were entitled to get at least a portion of the money back. Chairman Spicer suggested that it might be fair to reimburse the $17 per game umpire fees. Mr. Spicer directed Staffto research how much money was left over, who got paid and who didn't, etc., and place this issue on next month's agenda. � Mr. Ehrlich recalled that Shelli had reimbursed some people last year. Mr. Spicer said that that is true, although Shelli did not publicize that these reimbursements were possible, so some people did not get the reimbursement they were entitled to. Mr. Ehrlich said that there were some nights last yeaz when the game had to be canceled due to a lack of umpires. SAINT THOMAS REQUEST FOR TENIVIS COURTS [The Commission agreed that the City Council should approve the request by St. Thomas Academy for the reservation of Roger's Lake Park and Valley Park tennis courts from April 1, 199t to 7une 1, 1996, from 3:15 pm to 5:15 pm, Monday through Friday, under the condition that if a reservation at Valley Park proves to be problematic, then St. Thomas would use Marie or Wentworth Park instead. No formal motion was made on this matter.] DAKOTA COUNTY ANNUAL INFORMATION SHARING MEETING Chairman Spicer asked if any Commissioner would volunteer to attend the meeting. Commissioner Norton volunteered herself. Chairman Spicer thanked Commissioner Norton and asked her to lobby at the meeting for a cross-country ski trail at Visitation and St. Thomas. FORT SNELLING STATE PARK ADVISORY COMNIITTEE Mr. Esser explained that the Committee has revealed its new Master Plan, projected through to the year 2009. Mr. Esser said that he is part of the Committee, and that he attended the first meeting which included a tour of Fort Snelling. He said that he learned about the plant in the park where they process deer meat and send it to food shelves. He concluded that he will keep the Commission updated as more meetings occur. NORTH URBAN REGIONAL TRAIL Mr. Kullander expla.ined that the new plan for the trail contains primarily revisions for trail alignment changes in West Saint Paul, and consequently has no impact on Mendota Heights. Mr. Kullander added that there is still no Metropolitan Council approval of funding for the trail. Mr. Kullander added that until such funding was approved, there would be no detailed design of the various trail segments. ARCHITECT FOR WENTWORTH PARK SHELTER Mr. Kullander said that the current candidate for the project has requested a fee of $2500 to $3000 to design a 16' x 24' shelter similar in design to the Mendakota and Kensington Park shelters.. Chairman Spicer asked if the City could get someone else to design the shelters. Mr. Kullander suggested instead that it might be better to get the current candidate to lower his price. Mr. Kullander added that he thought the existing design used in Kensington Park could be built for $12,000 per shelter. Chairman Spicer asked for a motion. Commissioner Norton asked if it would be possible to negatiate with the current bidder. , :t Commission�r Libra asked if the City would be needing any more shelters. Mr. Kullander responded that Friendly Hills was scheduled for a shelter in 1997. Comnnissioner Libra suggested that the City get a design for a 16' x 24' shelter and a release far the Ib' x 16' Kensington shelter design. Mr. Kullander said that the City has the materiats and specifications, and could shop far architects. Liberacki said that this would be unethical behavior far architects. Mz�. Kullander said that a total cost af $18,000 was a high price. He suggested that the City could pick its own figure and ask architectural �irms to meet the City's offer. Cha.irman Spicer asked what that fi,gure should be. Commissioner Nortori asked what the City paid originally for architecturai fees in Kensington Park. Mr. Kullander answered that the figure was $8,50Q for design of 2 shelters and the camfort station with total constructian costs of $75,p00 -$$0,000. Ghairman Spicer asked if the City needed a 16x24 shelter. He asked Mr. Kullander what lus feelings were on the shelter size. Mr. Kullander responded that he would prefer 2 smalt shelters for $11,000 to $12,000 apiece. He explained that different groups rarely use the same shelter. He added that most graups ir� the park are one fa��ily of 3 to 6 gersons. Chairman Spicer suggested that two lb' x Ib' shelters be built now. He recommended that Staff obtain a release from the architect to a11ow us to use the same design and specifications from the Kensington Park shelters to save on architects' fees. Mr. Spicer then asked for a mation. Commissioner Libra moved that Commission recommend construction of the two 16x16 shelters a.nd to obtain a release for the design from the architect. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. �_ AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Motion Carried. , .� t Libra moved�to amend his motion that the price not exceed $25,000. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Motion Carried. FUNDING SOURCE FOR REPLACEMENT OF FIVE PARK BRIDGES IN 1995 Mr. Kullander reported that Treasurer Shaugnessy recommended that the Council fund the Park Bridge Replacement project with unused contingency funds in the 1995 Budget. This was approved at the March 19, 1996 meeting. Trail segments will be restored out of the Special Park Fund in 1996. Chairman Spicer directed Staff to thank the Council.

The meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM. The following members were present: Libra, Kleinglass, Spicer, Norton, and Liberacki. Linnel and Damberg were excused. Also present were Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander, Recreation Programmer Chris Esser, and Administrative Intern Patrick C. Hollister. APPROVAL OF MIl�TUTES Commissioner Libra moved to approve the 7anuary 9, 1996 Muiutes. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 MENDOTA HEIGHTS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T-BALL UPDATE The following people were present to discuss this agenda item: • Norm Gellerman, MHAA Executive Director • Sue Hanson, MHAA Executive Director • Ruth Lowenthall, Resident Ms. Lowenthall stated that she is considering suing the MHAA and/or the City for discrimination because the MHAA will not permit her 4-yeaz-old daughter to play T-Ba11. Norm Gellerman provided an overview of the MHAA T-Ball program. Mr. Gellerman said that there are three levels of T-ball, one for 5-year-olds, one for 6-year-olds, and one for 7-yeax olds. Mr. Gellerman said that eight-year olds are eligible for baseball. Mr. Gellerman explained that children must be 5-years-old as of July 31 st to be eligible for the first level of T-Ba11. Mr. Gellerman recalled that the MHAA used to allow even younger kids to play T-ball, and that this was not successful. He also remarked that many children younger than 5 were not ready to play T-Ball, leading some critics to refer to the program as "Diaper Ba11." Chairman Spicer asked if any exceptions could be made to the July 31 st cut-off date. Sue Hanson answered that exceptions would not be possible. Ms. Hanson said that it is impossible for the MHAA to evaluate younger children's' readiness to play T-ba11, because among young children of the same age there is a great disparity in emotional maturity, attention span, and motor skills. Ms. Hanson recalled that in the past when children you�ger than 5 were allowed, it created bad situations. Ms. Hanson said that some childre� who were already in the T-Ball program before the 7uly 31 st cut-off date was implemented have been "grandfathered" into their cunent level of T-Ba11. Ms. Hanson stated that if the T-ball program allowed younger kids to play, eventually age would become an issue anyway, because of strict age limits in baseball and softball. Ms. Hanson said that it would be better to be consistent now, rather than have to separate teammates down the road. Chairman Spicer asked how many kids were cunently playing T-Ball. Mr. Gellerman said that he only had the figures for 1995. He said that 96 kids were in the first level (83% of whom were Mendota Heights residents), 122 kids were in the second level (77% of whom were Mendota. Heights residents), and 121 kids were in the third level (77% of whom were Mendota Heights residents). Mr. Gellerman stated that many of the non-residents were actually from either Lillydale or Mendota. Chairman Spicer asked what the registration fee per participant was in T-Ball. � Mr. Gellerman said that the cost was $15. He added that the cost to the MHAA for each participant was a minimum of $23.60, hence the need for the municipal subsidy. He explained that some long-term equipment and supply costs are not included in this total. Cha.irman Spicer invited other Commissioners to ask any questions they may have. Commissioner Norton wished to know what the gender ratio was in T-Ball. Sue Hanson responded that roughly two-thirds of the participants were male. She added that kids played three years of T-Ball and then advanced to baseball. Ms. Hanson also described programs in other cities. Mr. Gellerman said that the T-Ball program always has trouble finding space to play, and that it had to compete for space with Baseball and Softball. Mr. Gellerman reiterated that the T-Ba11 program does not conduct any evaluation of children's' readiness to play, and that the only criteria for eligibility was age. Ms. Lowenthall asked what the state-deternuned cut-off date for girl's softball was. Ms. Lowenthall said that she thought it coincided with the school yeax. Mr. Gellerman said that the softball cut-off date for girl's softball was August 30. Mr. Gellerman said that the MHAA used the age cut-off date of July 31, which is required by the Nfinnesota Youth Baseball A.ssociation. � Ms. Lowenthall stated that her 4-year old daughter, by misfortune of having been born between 7uly 31 and August 31, was to be excluded for life from playing T-Ball with the same children in her school classes. Ms. Lowenthall inquired as to the purpose of T-Ball. Was not the �rimary purpose, she asked, to teach sportsmanship, rather than training for higher-level $ports? Ms. Lowenthall complained that if her daughter were to join T-ba11, all her classmates in school would be on a different team. Ms. Lowenthall said that the T-Ball program was on shaky legal ground. Ms. Lowenthall sa.id that the system is set up for boys to the detriment of girls such as her daughter. She said that she has ananged for a coach to tra.in her daughter in T-Ball if she is allowed in the MHAA program. Ms. Lowenthall complained that the MHAA was too argumentative with her on the phone. She said that she was in favor of a September 1 cut-offto coincide with the school system. She said that there are many kids like hers who were born in a"bad month". Ms. Lowenthall declazed that she is a lawyer. She said that the MHAA T-Ball program, and hence the City of Mendota Heights which subsidizes it, are in violation of Title 7. She said that she understands the need for a cut-off date, but that this particular date favors boys over girls. ' Commissioner Libra said that the same situation exists in soccer. He said that he coaches his daughter, and that discrepancies between age limits cause problems in that sport as well. . Commissioner Norton suggested that making the sports cut-off dates consistent with the schools would solve these problems. Commissioner Libra stated that some parents want to hold their child back for a year from school, and at the same time push their child ahead in sports. Commissioner Norton said that such things are the parents' choice, and that they are not the sport's programs concerns. Ms. Hanson said that the MHAA cannot change the state sports associations' cut-off dates. She said that the MHAA thought about coinciding with the school date, but decided against it. She said that in some years a Transitional program has been created for kids in the "gap". Ms. Hanson told Ms. Lowenthall that she was sorry if she sounded harsh, that she did not intend to give that impression. Ms. Hanson said she sympathizes with Ms. Lowenthall's situation. Ms. Lowenthall said that she objects to using the Boys' Baseball cut-offdate for T-Ball. She suggested that if the softball cutoff date were in August, participants could have the options of either petitioning or evaluation to move up. ` � Mr. Gellerman said that in general, there is no traveling softball. Commissioner Norton asked about girls' fast pitch. � .� Mr. Gellermxn said that those teams played under the Sibley Area Sting Association which had its own bylaws. Commissioner Norton asked what the cut-off date was for Fast-Pitch. Mr. Gellerman said that it was in August. Ms. Hanson said that Dave Ayers helped create the July 31 cut-off date and he has three girls. She added that he would not have done this if he thought it was detrimental to his daughters. Commissioner Libra said that the Soccer parents asked for a Kindergarten program, volunteered themselves as coaches, and set up a program for this age group. Ms. Lowenthall said that she had two T-Ball coaches lined up for her daughter. Ms. Lowenthall threatened to sue the MHAA and the City of Mendota Heights. ' Cha.irman Spicer said he used to be a lawyer. Mr. Spicer said that Ms. Lowenthall's legal threat had little basis. Mr. Spicer said that the MHAA should rethink its cut-off date, but that he also understood that not only state cut-off dates, but even national cut-off dates were involved in this issue. Mr. Spicer said that his own son had never played Baseball with his own age group. Ms. Lowenthall repeated that the MHAA has a"Title 7 problem", because the system is set up for the boys' traveling baseball. Cha.irman Spicer said he was sorry that Ms. Lowenthall felt that way. Ms. Hanson said that girls and boys in the MHAA enjoy the same opportunities. She added that it is not the MHAA that is subsidized by the City, but the participants who are subsidized. Ms. Lowenthall asked what her next step is, since she wishes to pursue her complaint further. Chairman Spicer said that she is welcome to go before the City Council with her complaint. Mr. Gellerman added that there is also a grievance procedure within the MHAA itself. ` Ms. Lowenthall asked Mr. Gellerman to explain that grievance procedure. Mr. Gellerman provided Ms. Lowenthall with a copy of the MHAA bylaws. , Ms. Lowentl�all asked to be placed on the City Council agenda. Chairman Spicer advised her to either contact City Staff if she wanted to be put on the April 16 Council meeting agenda or to participate in the Public Comment portion of the ne�ct Council meeting. Commissioner Norton asked what the consequences would be of changing the cut-off date. Mr. Gellerman said that it would conflict with national cut-off dates. Commissioner Norton expressed concern that the existing cut-off date means that girls who miss the "time window" will miss out on the experience. Ms. Lowenthall asked how many kids were in T-Ba11 and how many kids were in Traveling Baseball. Mr. Gellerman responded that in 1995 there were 55 Kids in traveling baseball and 339 kids in tournament baseball. Mr. Gellerman added that everyone was welcome to try out and that evaluations were done to determine eligibility for these teams. Ms. Lowenthall asked for figures for Girls' Softball. Mr. Gellerman responded that in 1995 there were 383 girls in "in-house" softball, including 2 or three tournament teams. Commissioner Kleinglass asked what the age of these girls were. Mr. Gellerman said that they were from eight to fifteen year old. Chairman Spicer said that the teams were always "mixed-age." Mr. Gellerman said that the MHAA does not guarantee that kids can play with their classmates. Commissioner Kleinglass suggested that Ms. Lowenthall talk to the MHAA on Monday. Ms. Hanson said that no matter what policy the MHAA adopted, someone would be upset. Commissioner Norton said that the MHAA should look at gender issues more closely. Chairman Spicer said that it wouldn't hurt to add a few kids. Commissioner Norton suggested that perhaps the cut-off date should be August 31 for Crirls and Jul�y 31 for boys. Ms. Hanson said that parents always want their kids to play in programs that they are not eligible for. Ms. Hanson said that the MHAA had picked a cut-off date, and that it was fina1. Commissioner Liberacki said that the current cut-off date was gender equal. He added that the MH� had to pick a date and go with it. Mr. Liberacici remarked that life isn't fair. Mr. Liberacki asked for a motion. Commissioner Kleinglass suggested that Ms. Lowenthall attend the Monday night MHAA meeting. Commissioner Norton said that the MHAA should reconsider the cut-off date. Ms. Lowenthall said that she would participate first in the MHAA grievance procedure. Ms. Hanson invited the City to set up its own T-ball program for 4-year-olds not currently served by the MHAA. SChairman Spicer said that the City is not interested in operating a T-ball program. Commissioner Norton agreed with Chairman Spicer. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH REQUEST FOR MENDAKOTA FIELDS Pastor pon Delich of the Bethel Baptist Church was present to discuss his reqiiest. Chairman Spicer summarized that the Church would like to use Mendakota fields on Fridays. Spicer said that he believed that the Church was not in Mendota Heights, and that less than 50% of the participants in the Church softball program were Mendota Heights residents. Pastor Delich said that both assumptions were correct. He explained that the church is in Sunfish Lake. Pastor Delich said that he understood that the needs of Mendota Heights residents had to be taken care of first. He said that the arrangement between the Church and the City for use of the fields had worked well in the past. He said that the Church will be requesting use of the fields for $10 per field, even though the official price was $25 per field. He said that his League actually consists of a group of churches, and that their softball program is mainly to provide some low-key fun for families. He said that the • League will clean up the fields when they leave, and that their own rules prohibit the consumption of alcohol or tobacco at games. Pastor Delich said that he is willing accept any anangements for fields that the City can provide. Chaiiman Spicer asked if the Church needed at least 2 fields. , .�, Pastor Delich responded that the Church would like to use all four fields at $10 per field. He added that he understood that the Coed league scheduled to use the fields on Friday evening was dropped from the schedule due to lack of interest. Recreation Programmer Chris Esser interjected that there is currently no provision for churches in the Field Reseroation Policy. Chairman Spicer said that priority must be given to Mendota Heights youth. Mr. Spicer asked for a motion to allow the Church to use the fields for $10 per field, with the caveat that priority be given to MHAA in case of conflict. Commissioner Norton made the motion. Liberacki seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Motion carried. Chairman Spicer directed Staff to notify Norm Gellerman of the MHAA of the Commission's vote and to resolve any conflicts with the MHAA Commissioner Kleinglass asked Parks Project Coordinator Guy Kullander if the Church's use of the fields involved any cost to the City. Mr. Kullander responded that it did not. Commissioner Linnel asked Pastor Delich if the Church would be using the fields every Friday. Pastor Delich responded that yes, they would. Mr. Esser said that as of this meeting, no other activities had been scheduled for the fields on Friday nights. Pastor Delich stated that his Church intended to use all four fields for about 150 people. 1995 SOFTBALL UMPIRE REIlVIBURSEMENT David Ehrlich and his fiancee, Rhonda arrived. , Cha.irman SRicer agreed to let them discuss their concern, even though it was not on the agenda. ' Mr. Ehrlich explained that last year his father sponsored and paid $450 for he and his companions to play 14 recreational softball games in a park on Dodd Road. He claimed that no umpire showed up for most games on Thursday and Monday nights. He said that on Thursdays more than ha.lf of the games were without an umpire, and on Mondays about 4 or 5 games had no umpire. Mr. Erlich said he wanted a refund for the teams that played on these nights. Mr. Esser said that he had talked to Shelli, the previous Recreation Programmer. Shelly said that her policy last year was that if no scheduled umpire arrived for a game, whoever served as substitute umpire would be paid instead. Chairman Spicer said that last year the Commission received a lot of complaints about truant umpires. He added that if Mr. Deeg would refuse to pay an umpire, Shelly would refuse to pay Mr. Deeg. Mr. Spicer said that most of the complaints were for Thursday games. Mr. Spicer said that the leftover money was put into the General Fund, and that this money should be resunected to somehow reimburse those who were victims of last yeaz's problems. Mr. Ehrlich said that he didn't necessarily expect a full refund, but that he thought the teams were entitled to get at least a portion of the money back. Chairman Spicer suggested that it might be fair to reimburse the $17 per game umpire fees. Mr. Spicer directed Staffto research how much money was left over, who got paid and who didn't, etc., and place this issue on next month's agenda. � Mr. Ehrlich recalled that Shelli had reimbursed some people last year. Mr. Spicer said that that is true, although Shelli did not publicize that these reimbursements were possible, so some people did not get the reimbursement they were entitled to. Mr. Ehrlich said that there were some nights last year when the game had to be canceled due to a lack of umpires. SAINT THOMAS REQUEST FOR TENrIIS COURTS [The Commission agreed that the City Council should approve the request by St. Thomas Academy for the reservation of Roger's Lake Park and Valley Park tennis courts from April 1, 199� to 7une 1, 1996, from 3:15 pm to 5:15 pm, Monday through Friday, under the conditiori that if a reservation at Valley Park proves to be problematic, then St. Thomas would use Marie or Wentworth Park instead. No formal motion was made on this matter.] DAKOTA COUNTY ANNUAL INFORMATION SHARING MEETING Chairman Spicer asked if any Commissioner would volunteer to attend the meeting. Commissioner Norton volunteered herself. Chairman Spicer thanked Commissioner Norton and asked her to lobby at the meeting for a cross-country ski trail at Visitation and St. Thomas. FORT SNELLING STATE PARK ADVISORY CONIlVIITTEE Mr. Esser explained that the Committee has revealed its new Master Plan, projected through to the year 2009. Mr. Esser said that he is part of the Committee, and that he attended the first meeting which included a tour of Fort Snelling. He said that he learned about the plant in the park where they process deer meat and send it to food shelves. He concluded that he will keep the Commission updated as more meetings occur. NORTH IIRBAN REGIONAL TRAIL Mr. Kullander explained that the new plan for the trail contains primarily revisions for trail alignment changes in West Saint Paul, and consequently has no impact on Mendota Heights. Mr. Kullander added that there is still no Metropolitan Council approval of funding for the trail. Mr. Kullander added that until such funding was approved, there would be no detailed design of the various trail segments. ARCffiTECT FOR WENTWORTH PARK SHELTER Mr. Kullander said that the cunent candidate for the project has requested a fee of $2500 to $3000 to design a 16' x 24' shelter similar in design to the Mendakota and Kensington Park shelters.. Chairman Spicer asked if the City could get someone else to design the shelters. Mr. Kullander suggested instead that it might be better to get the cunent candidate to lower his price. Mr. Kullander added that he thought the existing design used in Kensington Park could be built for $12,000 per shelter. � Chairman Spicer asked for a motion. Commissioner Norton asked if it would be possible to negotiate with the current bidder. , .� � Commission�r Libra asked if the City would be needing any more shelters. Mr. Kullander responded that Friendly Hills was scheduled for a shelter in 1997. Commissioner Libra suggested that the City get a design for a 16' x 24' shelter and a release for the 16' x 16' Kensington shelter design. Mr. Kullander said that the City has the materials and specifications, and could shop for architects. Liberacki said that this would be unethical behavior for architects. Mr. Kullander said that a total cost of $18,000 was a high price. He suggested that the City could pick its own figure and ask architectural firms to meet the City's offer. Chairman Spicer asked what that figure should be. Commissioner Norton asked what the City paid originally for architectural fees in Kensington Park. Mr. Kullander answered that the figure was $8,500 for design of 2 shelters and the comfort station with total construction costs of $75,000 -$80,000. Chairman Spicer asked if the City needed a 16x24 shelter. He asked Mr. Kullander what his feelings were on the shelter size. Mr. Kullander responded that he would prefer 2 small shelters for $11,000 to $12,000 apiece. He explained that different groups rarely use the same shelter. He added that most groups in the park are one family of 3 to 6 persons. Chairman Spicer suggested that two 16' x 16' shelters be built now. He recommended that Staff obtain a release from the architect to allow us to use the same design and specifications from the Kensington Paxk shelters to save on architects' fees. Mr. Spicer then asked for a motion. Commissioner Libra moved that Commission recommend construction of the two 16x16 shelters and to obtain a release for the design from the architect. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. �_ AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Motion Ca.rried. , •• � Libra moved�to amend his motion that the price not exceed $25,000. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 Motion Carried. FUNDING SOURCE FOR REPLACEMENT OF FIVE PARK BRIDGES IN 1995 Mr. Kullander reported that Treasurer Shaugnessy recommended that the Council fund the Park Bridge Replacement project with unused contingency funds in the 1995 Budget. This was approved at the March 19, 1996 meeting. Trail segments will be restored out of the Special Park Fund in 1996. Chairman Spicer directed Staff to thank the Council. � UPDATES Staff provided updates of the following items: • Dakota Count,y Parks and Recreation Council Committee Meeting • Proposal for Partnership-Mississi�i River Coordinatin� Svstem • Paxks Report • Police Report • Mendakota Lights Task Force ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn made by Norton and seconded by Kleinglass. = AYES: . � 5 NAYS: � 0 The meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.

TO: ' Mayor, City Council, and Interim City�s�3�fustrator FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Intern SUBJECT: Bethel Baptist Church Request for Mendakota Fields Discussion Pastor pon Delich of the Bethel Baptist Church appeared before the Parks and Recreation Commission at their regularly scheduled meeting on April 9, 1996 to discuss his request to use the fields at Mendakota Park on Friday nights from May 3 to August 16 for his church softball league. Pastor Delich stated that his church would like to use all four fields for about 150 people. Pastor Delich's church is in Sunfish Lake. Less than 50% of the participants in the church softball program are Mendota Heights residents. Pastor Delich said that he understood that the needs of Mendota Heights residents had to be taken care of first. He said that the arrangement between the church and the City for use of the fields had worked well in the past. Pastor Delich also said that the league will clean up the fields when they leave, and that their own rules prohibit the consumption of alcohol or tobacco at games. The fields at Mendakota Park are currently available due to the cancellation of the Friday City-sponsored Co-rec league. Recommendation The Commission recommended on a 5-0 vote that the Council a11ow the Church to use the fields at Mendakota Park from May 3 to August 16 for $10 per field, with the caveat that priority be given to MHAA in case of scheduling conflict. Council Action Required If the Council wishes, it may authorize Bethel Baptist Church to use the fields at Mendakota Park on Friday nights from May 3 to August 16 for $10 per field by passing a motion to that effect.

Specificaliy, the request is for the reservation of Roger's Pazk and Valley Park caurts from April 1, 1996 to June l, 1996 from 3:15 pm to 5:15 pm, Monday through Friday. Accord'zng to Parks Reservation Palicy, tennis caurt reservations must be made through the Parks and Recreation Commissian and the City Council. Last year a similar request was made by St. Thomas Academy. The Parks and Recreatzon Gommission unanimousty recommended that the City Cauncil approve the request.

Four streets, Emerson Avenue (Wachtler - Sylvandale), Sylvandale Road, Ivy Falls Avenue, and Douglas Road were rejected for designation. These streets were viewed as non-collector streets in the City that did not meet the MSA guidelines for geometric design. Because the streets do not meet MSA guidelines, the City would need to apply for variances on these streets with no guarantee of approval. Mr. Brown and Mr. Erb also expressed their reluctance to designate any City street that required any variances and not considered as a collector route. They would prefer streets in the Industrial Park and streets that serve high traff'ic generators such as schools. Since Lake Drive was the only street, out of the five, approved for designation, this left 1.25 miles remaining, out of accumulated total of 1.92 miles, in our MSA 5treet account. F�gineering staff inet and discussed possible streets for new designation using the criteria mentioned above by Mr. Brown and Mr. P.rb. The streets selected included, Northland Drive, Emerson Avenue (Delaware to Dodd Road), �iighway 110 Frontage Road and Freeway Road. This selection of streets was sent to Mr. Erb for his review and preliminary approval. He found no problems with Northland Drive and Emerson Avenue as MSA Streets and instructed us to proceed with all the formal documents required for approval. If Council approves a resolution by May 1, 1996, needs for these two streets may be in included on the 1996 Needs Update. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that City Council designate the following streets as a Municipal State Aid Streets: Lake Drive - Mendota Heights Road to Dodd Road Emerson Avenue - Dodd Road to Delaware Avenue Northland Drive - Pilot Knob Road to T.H. 55 Total 0.67 miles 0.37 miles .79 miles 1.83 miles ` � ACTION REOUIItED• If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 96- , RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MUrTICIPAL STATE AID ffiGHWAYS. , SS:dfw ' - ` City of Mendota Heights Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 96- RESO��JTION ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL STATE AID ffiGHWAYS VVHEREAS, it appears to the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights that the street hereinafter described should be designated Municipal State Aid Streets under the provisions of Minnesota Iaw.

BA 441CG (12/92) `` CITY OF MENDOTA HIIGHTS ►��:�►� • Apri112, 1996 � TO' Mayor, City Council and City A tor FROM: Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager ✓i�� RE: Park Shelters for Wentworth Park :� � ; The Five Year Parks Capital Improvement Plan designated Wentworth Park to receive a Picnic 5helter in 1996. The Parks and Recreation Commission had discussed this item for several years and had directed Staff to research the cost of a shelter, similar in design and materials to those constructed in Mendakota and Kensington Parks. The Commission felt that a single shelter similar to the 16' by 16' shelters in Kensington Park was too small for Wentworth Park which is extensively used for picnicking and is reserved by residents most weekends during the summer. Staff contacted the Architect that designed the shelters in Mendakota and Kensington Parks to determine fees to design a 16' by 24' shelter. The estimated fees were $2,500 to $3,000. The Commission felt that the architectur�l fees of $3,000 were rather high for a shelter estimated to cost from $16,000 to $17,000 that would only accommodate six to ten more people than the 16' by 16' shelters in Kensington Park. �l hll I► Funding for this improvement would be from the Special Park Fund. The current balance is approximately $463,0�0. : � ►�lul ►II � Y � ► The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that Council direct Staff to contact the Architect who designed the Kensington Park 16' by �16' shelters and secure a Release to reuse the same design plan and specifications as used for the Kensington Park shelters. The Commission further recommends that Council direct staff to prepare bid packages for the construction of T�Q 16' by 16' shelters in Wentworth Park for an estimated constructions cost of $25,(}00. (The Kensington shelters cost $11,5(}0 a piece when constructed in 1992). I Y �� C � 11; 1 If the Council so desires they should accept the Park and Recreation Commission recommendation to constiuct two 16' by 16' picnic shelters in Wentworth Park and to further direct Staff to prepare a bid package and advertise this project for construction in the summer of 1996. `.

Hollister, Administrative Intern SUBJECT: Arbor Month Proclamation Discussion Since 1990, the City has been annually celebrating Arbor Month by officially proclaiming May as .Arbor Month and by participating in a tree planting ceremony. In past years, the Mendota Heights Garden Club has generously donated a Red Splendor Crab tree. These have been planted in a row along the front yazd of Civic Center property. We have not yet heard from the Garden Club about whether or not they intend to donate a tree this year. Although the nation recognizes Arbor Day on the last Friday in April of every year, many Minnesotans prefer to celebrate May as Arbor Month due to the fact that much of the ground in northem Minnesota is still frozen every yeaz as of Arbor Day. By proclaiming May as Arbor Month we encourage our residents to become more aware of the importance of trees for the well-being of the local and global environment. Arbor Month is set aside to teach children and adults alike that trees should be nurtured, protected, and used wisely because of the positive benefits that they provide. Council Action Required If the Council so desires, it should pass a motion adopting the PROCLAMATION ACKNOWLEDGING THE MONTH OF MAY, 1996 AS ARBOR MONTH.

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 16th day of April, 1996. ATTL�ST: CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HIIGHTS By Kathleen M. Swanson, City Clerk Charles E. Mertensotto, Mayor � CITY OF MT`.NDOTA HEIG8T5 April 11, 199b TO: I1�a.yor, City Council and City Administratar FROM: Shawn Sanders �� Ci�il Engineer SUBJECT: Wentwarth Avenue Watexma.in Assessments DISCUSSION• At the January 16, 1996 City Council meeting a public hearing was held for the Wentworth Watermain Project. This project consists of installing a 30" distribution watermain along Wentworth Avenue from Delaware Avenue to Dadd Road. .Also incladed in the pmject were hydrants for fire pmtection and water service stubs to the eleven lats along Wentworth Avenue. The esttiurmated costs for the project amounted to $557,Q00 including materials, instali�ation and design costs. Funding would come from two sources, a proposed assessment rate of $4,70Q to the i 1 affected progerties along Wentwarth Avenue with the remaining portion being paid for by the Water Revenue Fund. At that hearing, a few of the residents voiced their concern that the propnsed assessment rate was tao high and should be reconsidered. It was suggested by Council that the Ciry obtain the services of an appraiser to determine an appropria.te assessment rate far the residents. The City hired I.ee Racine 7r. of Racine Appraisals & Associates and he was asked to use the Garrett residence at 540 Wentwarth Avenue as an example property to calculate an assessment rate for all the residents a%ng W'entworth Avenue. In his report Mr. Racine compared similar properties that are served with well water with pmperties having a public water and made adjustments far ins#a�ilation casts of ihe serviee to the residence and water connections at the residence. With all factors he determined a market value of $1,2Q0 per lot far the watermain improvement. A$1,20t} improvement value is appmximately equal to the estimated cost to stub a 1.5" copper service to the 11 praperties along VYentworth Avenue. Also the unprovement value came in considerably lower than the average watermain assessment of $2,St}0 -$3,Ot}0 per Iot from past development projects. With the lawer assessment rate of $1,20Q more benefit is going to the resident and the City will not make up this cost ta install the 1.5" water service. An option the Council may look into is to drop the assessments from the project and impose a haokup charge to the property owner at the time they decide they want City water S6N1C8. ACTION REQUIRED: The City Council should review the appraisal rep�rt submitted by Ra.cine Appraisals and Assaciates then determine if they want to assess the residents the amount of $1,2t}� ar drop the assessments and impose a haokup chazge when the residence want to connect to City water. COST APPROACH In appraising this property, I have computed the Cost Approach to Value, (replacement cost less depreciation, plus land value including public utilities. This value approach is based upon the present cost of replacing the improvements, less the depreciation estimate for age, and for wear and tear and for condition. The depreciated value of the improvements is then added to the land value to arrive at the final indication of the property value. (Information based on County Records.) In the Cost Approach, the improvement replacement cost, plus the land value tends to represent the upper limit of market value. As a result of this computation, it is my opinion that the estimated market value of the subject by the Cost Approach is: Replacement Value New of the House and Garage Well and Septic Total Less Depreciation 4 % Physical $14,107 0 % Functional $ -0- Depreciated Value of Improvements Fstimated Value in Place of Driveway, Sidewalk and Landscaping ., � Estimated Land Value Total Indicated Value of Lane & Improvements Rounded: $337,684 $ 15,000 $352,684 $ 14,107 $ -0- $338,577 $ 20,000 $100,000 $458,577 $458,500 FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($458,500.00) 45 � � � COST APPROACH (Continued) In the Cost Approach the "Benefit" of the water main is calculated by multiplying the estimated value determined through the Cost Approach by the factor determined through the paired sales. $458,500 x .02 % _ $9,170 $9,170 -4, 800 (Less Excavation) -2,000 (I,ess Connection, etc.) $2,370 $2,400 (Rounded) TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS ($2,400.00) 46 ` �. i 1 COST APPROACIi (Continued) The Market Approach to Value is a more meaningful and reliable approach to value. This approach is completed by making a thorough market analysis, and from the analysis, a comparison between the subject property and each of the several sales of similaz properties. In making the comparisons, adjustments are applied for dissimilarities in accordance with the amount of value influence, resuldng in value indications of the subject property.

The properiy is cunently platted for faur iots. The Council continued discussion of the application to allow the applicants time to cansider amendments to the proposal that would: 1. improve the lot configuration; and 2. remove or reduce the need for variances (including 100' frontage). Since the Apri12 Council meeting, Mr. Mathern and Mendota Harnes have withdrawn their participation from this applicatian. Mr. Tuminelly intends to represent himself from this point forward as owner/applicant. In response to„ the Council's concerns on Apri12, Mr. Tuminelly has subrnitted a new subdivision with only five Iots ins�ead of eight. Lots 1 and 2 atready exist in the current plat. Lots 3 and 4 would be split to form three lots far a total of five, 4ne lot line encraaches on an e�cisting house, and Mr. Tuminelly says that he will aiter the house and reconstruct the driveway to eliminate this problem. Mr. Tuminelly alsa told Staffthat this new lot canfiguration was designed to preserve the maximum number of e�sting trees an the property. Mr. Tuminelly plans to create a homeowner's association amang the five families in this new development that would be responsible for snow removal and lawn maintenance. A.lthough all of these lots have 100 feet of frontage at the building 1ine, only two of them have i 00 feet of frontage at the setback line as required by aur Zozung Ordinance. in addition, Mr. Tuminelly envisions lots 2 and 3 sharing a driveway. Thus Mr. Tumznelly will stiil require two variances for this subdivisian: 1. A variance for lot width as described in Section 7.4(3) of the Zoning Ordinance 2. A variance far driveway setbacks as described in Section 4.18(5} ofthe Zoning Ordinance Staffwishes to note that one afthe new Iots wouid not have direct sewer service. Recommendation At the Planning Co�r�nissian's regulariy scheduted meeting on March 26, 1996, Commissioner Lorberbaum moved to recommend that the� City Council deny the re.quested SubdivisianlPreliminary Plat, Front Yard Setback Va,riance, and Lot Width Variance. Commissioner Duggan seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 5-0 vote. The Carnmission faund that the City had approved this property as a faur-lat subdivision and feit that this is still an appropriate designa#ion. The proposal before #he Cauncii naw has been submitted by a dif%rent applicant (Mr. Tuminelly as opposed ta Mr. Mathern), and departs substantially from the proposal shown ta the Council on Aprii 2. City Sta.ff'has not had an apportunity to notify the neighborhood about the revised plan. For these reasons, the Council may wish to consider instructing Mr. Tuminelly to reapply and ordering a pubiic hearing. Action Required Consider the revised application and determine a course of action. � � �ti� k 1 • � � � U M I N ELLY companies 969 SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY • ST.

The Touszgnants wauld Iike the event to take place from August 2 to August 4, 1996. The event would be a sportin,g fa.ir with demonstratians and vendors such as Burger Brothers and Eddie Bauer selling equipment and apparel for hiinting and fishing. The site is currently zoned R 1, but is guided in the Comprehensive Plan to become comrnerciaUiimited business. Please see the attached correspandence from the Tousignants. The discussion was tabled to the next City Council meeting. The Tousignants wi11 give a brief presentation at the April 16, 1996 Cauncil meeting, specifically facusing on the following issues: 1. The zaning designation of their property 2. Acquiring vendars' licenses for faod and beverages, liquor, and firearms �� 3. Signage 4, Parking Recommendation Such an event is not currently a permitted use in the R-1 zan.e. There is little or na precedent for au event of this nature in Mendota �Ieights. Because allowing ihis event would set a significant precedent for the City, and because this particular praposal contains some elements of special concern to the City {such as alcohoi and firearms) Staff recommends that the City proceed with caution if it allows this event. Council Action Required Discuss the proposed event with the Tousignants and direct Staff an haw to proceed. 1 r �3 ; . t � � t l •` . � ' . , ' . � . a (612) 432-8572 12884 F�veleth Ave. ' Apple Valley, MN 55124 e �"An Event by Pintarl Productions" , � � � • .

Daniels Public Works Direc�� SUBJECT: Cruz Variances DISCUSSION• At their September 5, 1995 meeting Council denied variance requests from Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cruz, 1338 Cherry Hill Road, for driveway setback and Recreational Vehicle storage within a side yard (see attached resolution). The Cruz's disagreed with the City's findings and never complied with instructions to take corrective actions (see attached letter). The City's prosecuting attorney was then forwarded the information for prosecution. After he reviewed the case he informed staff that our ordinances were sufficiently vague and that he felt the City would not prevail in any court action. Council was then informed of the situation and given some options on how to proceed. Council selected, as the first step, the option of working through a mediator with the goal of trying to arrive at a solution all parties could live with. The neighbors all agreed to participate in mediation and, after a very lengthy first mediation session, a tentative agreement was azrived at and signed by all parties. Part of the agreement was that a second meeting would be called to review a formal plan that the City Planner was to prepare documenting the agreement. At the start of the second meeti.ng one of the neighbors immediately stated they had changed their mind and that the previously agreed upon landscaping screen should now be a fence instead. After another long meeting, negotiations failed to arrive at a solution. The mediation option has failed. The neighbors are still insisting that the City require the Cruzs to store their recreational vehicle elsewhere and remove the driveway that encroaches on the five foot side yard setback. � Council's previously established course of action identif'ied the second step in this process to be to amend the City's Zoning Ordinance making it more enforceable on recreational vehicle storage and then enforce it. n U ACTION REOUIRED• This memo is to update Council on the status of this issue and to allow for any adjustments to the process. At this point staff will begin step two by drafting language amending the zoning ordinance with respect to recreational vehicles. This language will then be reviewed with the City's attorneys and brought back to Council for review, approval and authorization for ordering the appropriate public hearing to be conducted by the Planni.ng Commission before its adoption. 9 �..

BERGQUtST LYNNE M. MASANZ yI am in receipt of your letter of September 8, 1995, addressed to my client, Ri.chard Cruz. I nate in reviewing �rdinance No. 401, Section 21.4, that the ordinance prohibits storage unless the storage is in the side or rear yard. There are two issues raised by this ordinance i.n relation to the facts of Mr. Cruz's case;. First�of all, Mr. Cruz maintains that he is not storinq his mo�or home, but rather is parking it. Tbe ordinance does not prohibit parking.but prohibits storage. Storage is of a mare permanent nature than. parking. I am unaware of whether your ordinance defines or differentiates between these two terms. I have recently written a letter to Thomas Hart, the City Attorney for Mendota iieights, asking his clarification on this issue, Secondiy, there is no de�inition in the ordinance of what constitutes a"side yard" and what canstitutes a"frant yard" . Yau have informed me that a side yard is that portion of the yard directly adjacent to the side of the house and does not extend beyand the'front line of the house as extended. However, your ordinance does not state that and this appears to be a real ambigui�y. Another reasonable definition of side yard would be that portion of the lot that is to the side of the house as e�tended fo=ward and backward. if there is a clear definition of "side yard", please inform me. Mr. Cruz has att�ernpted and will continue to attempt ta comply with the ordinance. The ordinance does not prohibit the outside storage oi recreational equipment, nor does it prohibit the parking of recreational. equipment outside, I would like to see this matter resolved amicab3y. For that reason, we brought the variance request before the City Council. The City Council felt that they eould not .grant a variance. However, this does nat mean that Mr, Cruz is in violata.on of the � � Mr. Kevin L. Batchelder Page 2 September 14, 1995 City ordinance. This was merely one attempt to find a solution to a problem. .; . We have attempted to work with the neighbors in resolving this problem; however, they have been unwilling to do so. Since they have complained to you, I suggest that you contact them and point out the fact that there are real problems with attempting to restrict Mr. Cruz�s parking and/or storage of his motor vehicle on his lot. Mr. Cruz is willing to �lant tall evergreens or construct a fence. If there are other ide,as, he is willing to listen. rVery truly yo s, " ij2i�/!/� � � • R chard J abriel RJG : lmm�zie�.t,�x cc: Richard Cruz Thomas Hart, Esq. � .': m CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY,II�IlVNT.50TA RESOLUTION NO. 95- A RESOLUTION DENYING VARIANCES FOR DRIV�WAY SETBACg AND STORING A RECR]EATIONAL VEffiCLE AT 1338 CHERRY H�L ROAD , Mr. Richard Cruz, of 1338 Cherry Hill Road, has applied for a Variance to the required Driveway Setback and a Variance to allow Storage of a R�acreational Vehicle in the required Side Yard on a driveway that has been inst�lled at 1338 Cherry Hill R�oad, as proposed on plans in Planning Case File 95-14; and , the Planniug Commission conduc�ed a public hearing at their August 22, 1995 meeting; and , , , the Pjanning Commission recommended on a 5-0 vote t,�at City Couacil deny said requested Variances ba.sed on a lack of a legal basis for a Lardship; and �' � , the City Council reviewed said application for Variaaces at their meeting on September 5, 1995. �� NOW, T�tEFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVID by the City Council of the Gity of Me�dota Heights that a finding of uadue Lardship or difficulty unique to the praperty and, not created by the owner does not exist;_aad i " . � BE IT FURT�,R RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights that the requested Varianoes, if granted, will alter the chaiacter of the neighborhood and establish an undesired precedent; and BE IT FiJRT�R RESOLVID by the City Couacil of the City of Mendota Heights, that the conditions required for approval of the requested variances do not exist aad that said requested Varianoes are hereby denied.

Council tabled action on the ordinance because of concerns expressed by Councilmembers Huber and Smith. I have spoken to both Council members and prepared a revised draft of the ord.inance for Council review. ' " DISCUSSION After discussing possible changes and clarifications to the language with the Councilmembers the attached draft was prepared. The newly proposed language is typed in . bold italics; the language which is proposed to be deleted in s�e��. In its currently proposed form, the ordinance would require a permit for removal of trees four inches or greater in diameter, with a cumulative total of 30 inches, or any tree having a diameter of a yet undetermined size. I called Robert Ridder early this evening and described the provisions of the proposed ordinance for him. He cannot attend the meeting this evening, however it is possible that Kathleen will attend. I was unable to contact the Dodge Nature Center. The elcisting moratorium will be in effect until May 1. Since the moratorium was initially adopted, Council has received very few requests for tree removal permits. There axe no fees associated with tree removal permits, and the only possible inconvenience to an applicant is having to wait for two weeks, at the most, for Council consideration If Council adopts a tree removal ordinance, a reference to the ordinance should be included in the Zoning Ordinance. A draft amendment to the Performance Standards section of the Zoning Ordinance has been prepared and will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for public hearing, depending on Council's action on the tree removal ordinance. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that Council review the attached proposed tree removal ordinance and adopt the ordinance if it appears to address Council's concems. Should Council choose not to adopt ` the ordinance this evening, action should be taken to extend the existing moratorium by resolution. ACTION REOUIRED If Council concurs in the recommendation, it should pass a motion to adopt the attached Ordinance No. 307, "An Ordinance Restricting Tree Removal." If Council wishes to delay action, a motion should be made to amend the existing tree removal moratorium resolution until June 1.

Swanson�N� City Clerk SUBJECT: Tree Removal Ordinance INFORMATION On Mazch 7, Council considered a proposed tree removal ordinance. Council tabled action on the ordinance because of concerns expressed by Councilmembers Huber and Smith. I have spoken to both Council members and prepazed a revised draft of the ordinance for Council review. DISCUSSION Councilmembers Huber and Smith were concerned that the ordinance defined a stand of trees as six or more trees of four inches in diameter, without regard to proximity. After discussing possible changes and clarifications to the language with the Councilmembers the attached draft has been prepazed. In the "Purpose" paragraph, the words with "the indiscriminate removal" have been added after "clear cutting" to more fully define the city's concem. The term "significant stand of trees" in Section 2.1 has been replaced with "sigaificant trees," and the size has been increased to six inches in diameter. An exception clause has been added to this section to state that Boxelder, Aspen, Poplar and Elm trees are not considered to be significant trees. Section 3 has been re-written to state that removal of six or more significant trees (rather than "significant stand of trees) is prohibited. For your assistance, language which is being removed from the March 7 draft has been s�iel�ea. New language is in bold italics. The existing moratorium will be in effect until May 1. Since the moratorium was initially adopted, Council has received very few requests for tree removal permits. There are no fees associated with tree removal permits, and the only possible inconvenience to an applicant is having to wait for two weeks, at the most, for Council consideration. The attached proposed ordinance is essentially a re-statement of the moratorium resolution with the exception of the revisions discussed above.

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS � Chazles E. Mertensotto Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk CITY OF MENDQTA HEIGHTS � Apri13, 19�� TO: M Mayor, City Cauncil, and Interim City� strator FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Intern SUBJECT: Cellular Tower Regulations Discussion The City Council has directed Staffta research passible amendmen#s to our Zaning Ordinance or other measures ta accommodate and regulate cellular towers. The City of Burnsville appears to have a better defined procedure than rnost other communities in the Twin Cities area, Burnsville requires that cellular antennas be Iacated on one of their three water towers unless the applicant can demonstrate that these lacations are not technicaliy feasible, in which case the applicant must abtain a Conditional Use Pernut ta erect a tower on private property. In my correspondence with other municipalities and the League of Minnesota Cities, and through my attendance af one metrapolitan-wide conference regarding the placement of PCS and cellular an:tennae, I have learned that mast carnmunities in the Twin Cities area permit and indeed encourage cellular and PCS antennae to be placed on their water towers. Most communities appear to view antennae an their water towers less as an eyesore than as a potentiai source ofrevenue. Ir�deed, some communities have achieved quite lucrative deals with cellular and PCS companies which then pay them rather large yearly sums for space on their water tower. Please see the attached documents from the City of Burnsville: l. Ordinance No. S06 Relating to CeIlular Towers. 2. Rental Rate Policy 3. Fee Schedule 4, Map af Water Tower Locations in Burnsville 5. Applicatian Form for Cellular Towers (See alsa a three-page summary of lease terms far other cities from the LMC.) Recommendation Staffrecommends that PCS and cellular companies be encouraged or required to place antennae on our water tower for the following reasons: r� � 1. PCS and%or cellular technology is projected to become the dominant and near- universal form of distance voice communication in the near future. Many residents of Mendota Heights already use some form of wireless telephone, and as this technology becomes cheaper and more practical it will soon become the norm in suburban America, in much the same way that telephones became the norm earlier in this century. 2. The Congress of the United States has apparently prohibited local governments from completely banishing such structures from our communities. (Please see the attached excerpt from Federal Law regarding Wireless Telecommunications.) 3. The recent rejection of US West's request to erect a tower at Mendota Plaza has demonstrated the unacceptability to the community of most "ground locations". 4. If as stated in (2) above, the City of Mendota Heights must make some accommodation to this technology, it would appear that the municipal water tower would be the least visually conspicuous location for such structures, and would give the added benefit of providing revenue to the City, which the City would not receive if these antennae were located on private property. Council Action Required Discuss the attached examples from Burnsville and advise Staff on whether or not a similar approach would be appropriate for Mendota Heights.

In Dakata County, there exists a county wide hausing and redevelopment authority which addresses the public sector affordabie housing cancerns in most communities throughout the cvunty. It is anricipated that Dakota County communities entering inta housing agreements wouid cluster together and utilize one action plan prepared and administered by the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). � The pian herein outlines the programs currentiy offered as weli as the efforts anticipated to be undertaken in the next five years by the Dakota County H[RA. A five year time frame was selected to coincide with the Consolidated Plan prepared by the Dakota County HRA. for use in administering the HOME and CDBG Frograms. The Gonsolidated Plan addresses the housing needs and proposed housing activities for alt of Dakota County far a five year period. A major focus of the Livable Canununities Act is ta promote the deveiopment and preservation of affordable and life cycle housing in communities throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Housing is considered ta be "affordable" if it costs no more than 30 percent of a famiiy's annual income. Life cycle housing is defined as housing af a variety af types and costs, It meets peopie's ne�cis and preferences as incomes and circumstances change thraughout their lives. In compiling the attached document, it is assumed that the private sector will ensure the develapment of adequate numbers of market rate and upper scale hausing units. The programs nated herein facus exclusively on the development and/ar preservation af affordabie hausing. Thus, each program plays a part in the provision of affordable and iife cycle housing in L}akata County communities. ' The Dakota Caunty HRA endeavors to cantinue to provide attractive, well managed, affordable housing opportunities far families and seniors. To the extent funding resources are available, the �EI2A will continue to provide affordable housing oppartunities to the citizens of Dakata County. 1 DAKOTA _ .UNTY ESTtMATE C}F ADDED UNITS 4F AFFQRDAB�.E HQUStNG PER PABT AND PROJECTED PROGRAM FUNDING HOUSINC CATEGORY / 19 90 — 19 95 6 YR 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 19s5-2 PROGRAM FUNDED Famil Etder{ 5 Ncls T4TAL F E SN F E SN F E SN F E SN � E SN TCITAL HOME O�WNERSHIP .. ..,. 124. . :.. • 0 ' . . . ..I Q3.1 �`� 18U-. :.'.:. 0: � � ::>::.:. 0' <..1'. ...... .. . , ,.._ . . .. . ,.. . . . . • .. .. .,;.. .. .. .:.
