August" 8, 1996
SUBJECT: Pine Creek Estates and Part of Lot 49, Auditors Subdivision No. 3
Feasibility Report
Job No. 9304
Improvement No. 93, Project No. 1
HISTORY:
The City of Mendota Heights received a preliminary plat application from Peter
Knaeble to subdivide a portion of Lot 49 of Auditor's Subdivision No. 3, owned by Lloyd and
Lucille Walker of 1760 Dodd Road, into three lots referred to as Pine Creek Estates. City
Council approved the preliminary plat at the November 5, 1991 meeting (Planning Case No.
91-35). City Council subsequently passed Resolution 91-89 approving the fmal plat for Pine
Creek Estates on December 3, 1991. The plat has been recorded for some time. The
developer decided not to proceed with any City improvement project required to serve the lots
with sewer and water until such time as the lots were sold. The lots have now been sold, and
the developer has requested that the City proceed with the preparation of the feasibility report
to serve these properties.
Frederic and Beverly Peterson, the owner of Auditor's subdivision No. 3, south of Pine
Creek Estates, has approached City staff about the possibility of subdividing that property into
additional lots similar to Pine Creek Estates. At this time, no formal preliminary plat
application has been submitted by Mr. Peterson. It is not apparent as to how many lots would
be attained in subdividing Mr. Peterson's parcel. It is conceivable that the Peterson parcel
could be subdivided into one additional flag lot, or two additional flag lots if City Council
approved variances.
The developer of Pine Creek Estates and Auditor's Subdivision No. 3 mutually agreed
that this work would best be accomplished by constructing these facilities as a public
improvement project, and distributing the costs of these improvements against the benefiting
properties.
The owners of the properties mentioned previously submitted a petition and waiver of
hearing, which was accepted on April 15, 1994, for the construction of sanitary sewer,
watermain, and storm sewer to serve Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Pine Creek Estates and Auditor's
Subdivision No. 3 near the northeast quadrant of Dodd Road and Marie Avenue. This
feasibility report will summarize the design and costs associated with constructing the
referenced improvements. -
SANITARY SEWER:
Pine Creek Estates is narrow and deep. The existing home at 1760 Dodd Road will
occupy Lot 1. Lots 2 and 3 are flag lots served by a long common driveway which provides
access to Dodd Road.
Early in the preliminary plat application process, there was some consideration given to
installing long sanitary sewer services to serve Lots 2 and 3. Cityspolicy requires a separate
sanitary sewer service for each single family residential lot. The elevation of the sanitary
sewer main in Dodd Road when combined with the long services, and required grade on a 4
inch gravity sanitary sewer service to serve Lots 2 and 3, makes construction of separate house
services to each lot unfeasible. For these reasons, the only viable alternative to provide
gravity sanitary sewer service to these lots is to extend an 8" sanitary sewer line easterly across
Dodd Road from a connection to the existing 9" vitrified clay sanitary sewer main in the west
boulevard in MnDot's Dodd Road right-of-way.
MnDot will not allow Dodd Road to be closed for the installation of this sanitary sewer
line by open cut construction methods. Consequently, this sanitary sewer line will have to be
jacked under the highway to serve these lots. A section of this new sewer line will be
extended northeasterly to the property line, in conformance with the Somerset Area Study
Inventory & Analysis prepared in 1993, to facilitate future development to the north.
Dewatering of the sanitary sewer trench may be necessary to install and construct this 8"
sanitary sewer line.
The additional construction costs associated with the jacked pipe crossing of Dodd
Road, and the potential utilization of sanitary sewer trench dewatering techniques which may
be necessary to install this sanitary sewer line, significantly increase the cost of this sanitary
sewer construction. The estimated project cost for this sanitary sewer construction is $43,300.
WATERMAINS:
An 8" ductile iron watermain would be extended easterly from a wet tap connection
with the existing 16" ductile iron trunk watermain in the east right-of-way boulevard of Dodd
Road. An 8" watermain stub would be extended northeasterly to the north property line to
accommodate future development to the north.
�
.As-built records indicate that the 16" trunk watermain and the sanitaty sewer line
which will be extended easterly to serve these properties are constzucted at abaut the same
elevatian. F.�cisti.ng topography constraints clictate that the elevation of the progosed sanitary
sewer line not be adjusted to avaid this conflict. � situation may necessitate that the 16"
trunk watermain be lowered to rectify this sanitary sewer and trunk watermain elevation
conflict. The additional construction costs associated with the patential %wering of this tsunk
watermain significantly increase the cost of t}auis watermain work. The estirnated pmject cost
for ihis watermain conshuction is $29,704.
STO�i1VI SEV4�ER:
A cul�ert wauld be canstructed to convey starm water within Pine Creek under the
comman dri�eway which pravides access from Dodd Road to Lots 2 and 3 of Pine Creek
Estates and iha undevelaped partion of the Petersan properiy to the sauth. The estimated
project cost for this starm sewer canstruction is $2,500.
PRO.TECT CO5T SUN[MA]!iY:

engineering overhead a.re summarized below:

$29,70U

$75,500
I consider the special constructian items which have been mentioned previously to be
atypical for any improvement project,let alone a project of this small size. For this reason, I
would suggest that the City �'unance only that portian of the pmject cost far these items which
would Lypic�ally be expected in this type of praject an a per unit assessmant against the
benefiting properties.
These improvements will facilitate future development to the north, in additian to the
progerty owners who petitioned for this pmject, and cansequenily I recammend that the cost of
those items which would be considered atypical be distributed on the basis of the area served
in acres, and be recovered by means of a service availability surcharge. i recommend that the
service availability surcharge be added, at the time the assessments are adopted, to the per unit
assessment cost of the respective pnblic improvement pmject canstructed to serve a property to
determine the total assessment against that property. The deter�mivation of the service
availability surcharge would be based on the gross buildable area. The gross buildable area
would inclnde all public right of way, but would exclude any property deemed unbuildable 6y
virtue af wetlands, topagrapbic features, or City or governmental agency unposed restrictions.
UNI'r ASSESSMENTS:
This improvement project was petitioned by the developers of Pine Creek Estates, and
Frederic and Beverly Peterson who own the property to the south. �'he originai petition was
submitted based on the assumption that the cost of these improvements would be assessed
evenly between the Pine Creek Estates development, and the future suhdivision of the Frederic
and Beverly Peterson progerty to the south. That rational implies that the P,eterson parcel
could be subdivided into two additional lots similar to Pine Creek Estates, which would t�
provide the City the opportunity to assess the proposed improvement costs against a total of 4
lots. There is no guarantee as to the actual number of buildable lots which may result from the
subdivision of this Frederic and Beverly Peterson properiy, and therefore the number of future
lots that would receive benefit from the construction of these improvements.
At this point in tune, the are no plans to subdivide the Frederic and Beverly Peterson
properiy to the south. It is assumed that the Peterson's would request a deferment for any
proposed assessment against their p*operty un+il the pmperty is subdivided, or sold in the
future. If, for any reason Auditors Subdivision No. 3 is never subdivided, the City runs the
risk of never recovering any of this property's proportionate share of these proposed
improvement costs.
The proposed method of assessment for spreading the typicai project costs for these
improvements would be on a ger unit basis. For the reasons stated previously, I recommend
that the costs of these improvements be assessed against the Peterson parcel on the basis of a
total of one lot, and Pine Creek Estates on the basis of two lots.
The preliminary unit assessment for the proposed 'unprovements are summarized as follows:
Sanitary Sewer $16,300
Watermain $16,000
Storm Sewer 2 500
TOTAL UNiT ASSESSMENT $34,800
Total Number of Assessable Lots 3
The proposed unit assessments against the 3
benefited properties for Lots 2& 3, Block 1
& Part of Lot 49 Auditor's Subdivision No. 3
are as follows: $11,600
SERVICE AVAILABILITY SURCHARGE:
For the reasons stated earlier, I consider the concept of spreading the costs previously
identified as extraordinary construction items over the entire area served to be a reasonable
proposition under the circumstances. The service area is approximately 27 acres excluding
�
wetlands, and some of the currently accupied property. The proposed service availability
surcharge area is as shown on the attached exhibit. The service availability surcharge costs
attributable to the undeveloped property to the north and south would not be recovered until,
and to the extent, the property develops.
The preliminary service availability surcharge cost for the proposed improvements aze
summarized as follows: • -
Sanitary Sewer
Watermain
TOTAL SERVICE
AVAII.ABILITY SURCHARGE
Total Gross Buildable Service Area in Acres
The proposed service availability area surcharge
per acre is as follows:
TOTAL ASSESSMENTS:
Pine Creek Estates:

Service Availability Surcharge
($1,SOU/acre x 0.94 acres)

$40,700
27.0
$1,500
$23,200
1 400
$24,6(}0
$12,300
These proposed sewer and water assessments are lugh, but they are comparable to the
per lot development costs for lots on Spring Creek Circle in the Spring Creek Acres
development. These properties were assessed $11,317 per lot for sewer and water in the fall
of 1987. The Peterson's $11,600 per unit proportionate share of this impmvement cost, plus
the $1,500 per acre service availability surcharge cost would be recovered, plus accrued
interest, at the time the property develops by means of a connection charge.
SIINIlVIARY:
This improvement project is expensive. Some of this additional expense is a result of
the configuration of the Pine Creek Estates plat, and some of it is due to some extenuating
circumstances. I have divided these two different costs into separate categories. Those costs
which I would attribute to the configuration of Pine Creek Estates, I suggested would be
assessed on a per unit basis. Those costs which I would attribute to extenuating circumstances
would be recovered by means of a service availability charge on an area wide basis at the time
a property develops, and would be added to the per unit assessment to establish a totai
assessment against a particular property.
Under the scenario described above, the preliminary totai assessment agai.nst the Pine
Creek Estates lots is estimated to be approximately $12,300 per lot for the two lots. The
balance of the $75,5(}0 preliminary improvement project cost estimate, or $50,900 (67°b) plus
interest at the going rate, would be recovered at the time vacant property develops.
REC011iiIlVIEENDATION:
This project is both technically and financially feasible from an engineeri.ng standpoint
and can be accomplished as proposed independent of any other project. The improvements, if
ordered, could be designed and conshucted in the Fall of 1996. I recommend Council review
and accept this feasibility report, and order the preparation of plans and specifications
necessary to cover the construction of the proposed improvements.

From: Kevin Batchelder, City Ad�u��t�tor
Subject: Appoint Negotiatian Team for Contract Discussions an Pralubition of Third
Parallel Runway
DISCUSSIUN
Mayor Mertensotta has recceived a letter from Mr. 7effrey Hamiel, F�cecutive Director
of the Metropolitan Airports Comrmissian (MAC), requesting that Mendota Heights designate
and individual, or team, to negotiate a cantract with MAC pnrsuant to recent Iegislation
requining MAC to enter inta a contract with "affected cities" to prohibit a third parallel
runway. {Please see attached Ietter.}
Last session, as part af the Duat Track Iegislation, the Legislature required that MAC
enter into a contract with each "affected city" t1�at would grohibit the constcuctian of any new
parallel n�nway. The contract would provide that MAC may not construct such a n�nway
without the affected city's approval. An affected city is any city that would e�rience an
increa.se in the area located within the 60 Ldn noise contaur as a result of operations using a
third parallel runway.
The prohibition of a tlurd pa�rallel ninway is ane of, if nat the most, primary cancerns
of Mendota. Heights regarding air noise and the operation of MSP. A third parallel runway
would sig�ni%cantly impact the quality of Iife in our community and this cantract represents a
great apportunity for Mendata Heights to have some degree of control on this issue.
i ' 1 I' 1
Discuss the offer to negoti�ate this contract. If the City Council sa desires, they should
pass a mation appainting a negotiating team and provide direction to staff an how best to
proceed.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Council acknowledged an excerpt from the minutes of the
MINUTES EXCERPT regulaz meeting held July 2, 1996 relating to NSP.
MISCELLANEOUS Mayor Mertensotto stated that at the last Council meeting, a resident
made a public statement that people are using the Mendakota Pazk,
drinking beer and making much noise after 10:00 p.m. The resident
ha.d sta.ted that she had contacted the police and they did not
respond. He informed the audience that all phone calls that aze
made to the police deparfinent are logged and the logs are retained,
and that the City Administrator has checked to see if calls were
made.
Administrator Batchelder stated that there were two instances in
1996 in which the police received calls about Mendakota Park, and
in both instances the police deparhnent responded to the calls. He
stated that in one case the police chased away two adults who were
still in the park, and in the other instance, a call about people
drinking in the park, the deparkment sent three squad cars and no one
was there.

SLURRY SEAL BIDS Council acknowledged a memo from Engineer Mogan regarding
bids for the slurry seal project.
Since only one bid was received, Mayor Mertensotto asked if the bid
is acceptable and if staff has checked on the contractor, who is from
Wisconsin.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that the bid of $43,610
is within the range of the engineer's estunate of $43,000 and that the
contractor does seal coating throughout Minnesota. and is a reputable
contractor.
Councilmember Smith stated that as a former resident of Madison,
she can say that the contractor, Struck & Irwin Paving, is a lazge and
reputable firm in Madison.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that people in the Avanti azea
have requested seal coating, and asked when the area was last
treated.
Public Works Director responded that engineering keeps specific
records, which he will check, that the area is not included in this
year's program but can be placed on the list for 1997.
Councilmember Smith moved to accept the bid of $43,610 and
award the contract for the 1996 Slurry Seal Project to Struck &
Irwin Paving, Inc.
Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4

RIGHT-OF-WAY PLAN Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding a request from the League of Minnesota Cities to fund the
"Rights of Way Work Plan."
Mayor Mertensotto reviewed the recent LMC bulletin regarding the
Public Utilities Commission's response to the U.S. West/City of
Redwood Falls lawsuit. He explained that potential problems of no
city regulation of rights-of-way and the LMC proposal, giving a
history of the lawsuit. He stated that the purpose of the LMC
solicitation was to make sure there are sufficient funds for the
League to represent the cities.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the League has been involved
in the issue for two years and she felt Council should support the
request.

July 16, 1996
Cou.ncilmember Smith stated that the League is contributing
$125,000 to the effort and is asking the cities to contribute $200,000
for development of the work plan, legal representation, working with
the legislature and also outside consultants. She asked why the
amount is so high if the League is doing the bulk of the work.
Mayor Mertensotto asked Administrator Batchelder to follow up on
the status of the PUC review of the US West petition before Council
takes any action. He felt that the League's main concern is that the
cities who feel really strongly should step up and give financial
support.
Councilmember Smith agreed that it is an issue Council cannot
' ignore and she would be willi.ng to support the request but needs
more information.

Councilmember Huber arrived at 8:00 p.m. w �� ��
..,� `
RECESS Mayor Mertensotto called a recess at 8:03 p. to give Council an
opportunity to meet with legal counsel,�- uperAmerica/Dakota
Bank representatives to make sure there is no misunderstanding as to
Paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Site Plan and Development Agreement.
The meeting was reconvened at 8:57 p.m.
LOGO SIGNS Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding Mn/DOT'S logo sign progra.m and a recent complaint
from a resident about the installation of a billboard on southbound I-
35E at the approach to the T.H. 110 exits. Council also
acknowledged a letter of complaint from Ms. Elaine Rose-Ruderman
and copies of communications between Administrator Batchelder
and Minnesota Logos.
Mr. Sid Ruderman, 1860 Eagle Ridge Drive, informed Council that
he looked out his window one morning only to see McDonald's
arches on a sign and the sign and azches are garish. He then called
Administrator Batchelder to complain and ask what could be done.
He stated that the Administrator has done a wonderful job in
responding to the complaint but that he wonders if anything more
can be done.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that Minnesota. Logos has
responded to the Administrator's letter by stating that city approval
is not required for the signs because Mn/DOT has approved them.
He stated that Minnesota Logos calls the signs directional signs for
the traveling public, and that Administrator Batchelder has asked
�

Page No. 4
July 16, 1996
Council for direction since Minnesota Logos' response was that it
does not have to remove the signs. He felt that Council must take
action to tell Minnesota. Logos and Mn/DOT that the signs are not
directional signs that give the simple direction of food, hospital or
hotel, etc., but rather that they are billboard signs divided into
sections that advertise specific businesses and Minnesota. Logos sells
advertising space on them. He pointed out that the signs are
promoting private enterprises and are not giving direction. He stated
that where the signs aze does not deternune whether city approval is
needed and that the city regulates billboards and signage within the
city and does not allow billboards on highways. He further stated
that Council thinks Minnesota Logos' interpretation is not correct,
that the signs are not directional signs, but aze billboard signs which
specifically advertise businesses. He felt that Council should direct
the City Administrator to notify Minnesota Logos that the Council
orders them to remove the sign, and further, that if the sign is not
removed the city will consult with legal counsel to determine what
action to take.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to have letters
sent to the city's legislative representatives as well.
Councilmember Smith stated that even if the words food or gas, etc.,
were added, the point is that this is paid advertising and not
directional signage.
Councilmember Smith moved to direct the City Administrator to
respond to Minnesota. Logos that Council has deterniined Minnesota
Logos' response to be inaccurate, that the sign is a billboard
advertising sign and not a directional sign and that Council orders
Minnesota Logos to remove the sign because city approval was not
granted for installation of the sign.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.
VICTORIA CURVE TRAIL Council aclaiowledged a memo from Pazks Project Manager
Kullander regarding installation of a separated trail along Victoria
Curve.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that from the ballfield to the
corner of Hunter Lane there is considerable neighborhood and
pedestrian traffic that end ups in both traffic lanes. She sta.ted that
the traffic now cuts from T.H. 110 onto Victoria Curve and a safer
walkway must be provided. She felt that the walkway needs to be
extended from the ballfield to Hunter Lane.
Page No. 5
July 16, 1996
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the precedent Council would set
is whether general fund money would be spent, ra.ther than Special
Park Fund money, to complete the estimated $20,000 to $25,000
project. - �
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she has not considered
financing, as her concern has been that there were two children
biking from the west recently and a caz did not see them and came
very close to hitting them. She stated that it is very difficult, coming
around the curb, to tell which side of the street someone is walking
on. She did not think it would matter which side the walkway goes
one, as pedestrian and bicycle traffic is on both sides of the road
now.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that Mr. Kullander look at locating the
trail on the other side, and that the matter then be refened to the
Pazks and Recreation Commission. He felt that perhaps the trail
would be less costly to construct on the south side.
Councilmember Smith responded that the trail would make more
sense on the north side, since people would have to cross the road
many times if it were constructed on the south.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that because parking is allowed on th�
south side but not the north, it makes more sense for the trail to be
on the north, but if the trail is too costly that would be another issue.
Council directed Parks Project Manager Kullander to look at the
feasibility and cost of the trail and give the projections to the Parks
and Recreation Commission.
CASE NO. 96-18, NSP Council aclrnowledged a memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding continued discussion on an application from NSP for a
conditional use permit for essential services and mining and a
variance for a fence higher than 6 feet with barbed wire. Council
also aclaiowledged a memo from Assistant Hollister, NSP data from
noise readings taken at the NSP site, a noise survey of the Rogers
Lake Substation provided by Ms. Shazon Sarappo of NSP, and a
copy of the MPCA noise pollution control rules. The following
individuals were present on behalf of NSP: Mr. Pat Cline, Mr. Joe
Mansur, Ms. Sharon Sarappo, Mr. Dave Callahan, and NSP legal
counsel Hazold Bagley.
Mayor Mertensotto explained that Council had continued the
discussion from the last meeting to allow the city the opportunity to
�
Page No. 6
July 16, 1996
retain an acoustical expert. He stated that Mr. William Kroll has
been retained on behalf of the city.
Mr. Kroll stated that he is an engineer specializing in acoustics. He
briefly reviewed his background and expertise.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that one of Council's concerns is that
there is a constant 24 hour a day hum out of the substation and
Council gives the maximum effort to reduce that sound.
Mr. Kroll stated that the PCA noise regulations relating to L10 and
L50 are not applicable to this situation. He stated that the hum is not
an average type noise but rather it is a humming and buzzing that
stands out above the background noise.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Kroll that NSP proposes to take
out a transformer and not replace it. He asked if that would reduce
the noise.
Mr. Kroll responded that it may reduce the noise but it may add to
the noise. He stated that the three transformers at the site all appear
to be different - the number two transformer, at the south west
corner, seems to be the loudest. He stated that if all three
transformers were the same level, the human ear could not tell the
difFerence if one were taken out. Responding to a question from
Mayor Mertensotto, he stated that wind tends to break up noise but it
is hard to predict.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what the city could discuss with NSP to
reduce the hum.
Mr. Kroll responded that he has not had enough time to really
investigate the situation or walk the entire site as he was just
retained two days ago. He stated that noise can be sluelded, and,
with respect to adding a capacitor bank, some are quiet and some
sing like crazy. He stated that it is impossible to tell what can be
done at this point.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Kroll that NSP proposes not to
add anything to the steel wall to dampen the sound. He asked what
the affect of the noise is coming off of steel.
Mr. Kroll responded that three things happen - when the noise
strikes the steel, some will bounce back and go some place else.
Some of the noise will be absorbed by the steel at frequencies which
could make the noise worse. He further stated that sometimes on a
�
m
Page No. 7
July 16, 1996
body of water, people can be heard talking across a lake, and that
can happen in this situation also. He explained that it is a matter of
having a design that could be made to work and the wall could be
made sound absorbent. He stated that right now, because of the
depression, the noise travels up the hill. He stated that the extreme
would be to build a house all around the station, but suitable walls
with the right design�could take care of the noise. He explained that
the wall would have to be quite high to the north and west, about
thirty feet tall, and it would have to be solid. He stated that the wall
must be massive. He explained that noise from a source likes to
travel outward, but if it is penned in it must dissipate some place,
and NSP must make sure the noise goes up.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she cannot see Council
wanting a 30 foot tall wall.
Mr. Kroll responded that there is a gradual slope to the north, and
the wa11 would have to be appreciably high because of that.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked Mr. Kroll's opuuon on the steel
wall that NSP proposes to install. Mr. Kroll responded that if the
wall is a sheet pile wall with a lot of earth around it, it will not
vibrate significantly or add to the noise level.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that his concem was that NSP cover the
wall to dampen the sound.
Mr. Kroll stated that one side of the wall must be so well da.mpened
with fill or something and it must be filled in the inside with a
dampening material.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that now Council can go back to NSP to
tell them that Council has heard its experts statements, and NSP will
likely tell Council that it meets the PCA standards, but Mr. Kroll has
informed Council that the standards to not apply in this case.
Mr. Callahan responded that since NSP consulted with the PCA for
guidance, and the PCA indicated that its guidelines did apply to this
type of noise.
By way of background, Mr. Kroll stated that several months ago he
was an expert witness at a widely publicized trial about church
noise. He stated that he said in this case the PCA regulations are
hazdly applicable to a loud hum, as there is a discrete 10 dB penalty
- a continuous 120 hertz hum. He stated that it is cynical to apply
the PCA rules in this case.

Page No. 8
July 16, 1996
Mr. Callahan asked if Mr. Kroll has any estimates on the cost of his
recommendations.
Mr. Kroll responded that he is not in the estimating business but
could take the design to a contractor for an estimate.
Mr. Callahan stated that NSP looked at walls and looked at a wall on
the north side. He stated that the potential cost would be $100,000
to $200,000, and he is not sure about Mr. Kroll's statement about
practically reducing the sound.
Mr. Kroll responded that sound reduction can be done and has been
done many times in the past, and that $100,000 to $200,000 for
attenuation is a practical expectation in relation to the overall cost of
the project.
Mayor Mertensotto asked if Mr. Kroll has come up with any
incremental sound reductions.
Mr. Kroll responded that there can practically be about a 12dB
reduction for 120 hertz. He stated that it is a matter of being a good
neighbor, not just meeting the PCA rules.
Mr. Ca.11ahan stated that NSP has done some things to reduce the
noise, removing a transformer and adding unfiltered capacitor banks
which do not produce noise. He further stated that NSP proposed to
extend the sound wall on the west end where the noise is greatest
and to put the fill that is being removed in other areas of the site for
berming.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked what the excavation depth of the
wall is.
Mr. Callahan responded that at the northeast corner it would be 16
feet.
Councilmember Krebsbach pointed out that the wall would only
project 14 feet above the ground.
Mr. Kroll stated that to the north, a 30 foot wall is needed.
Mr. Callahan responded that people would not be looking at a 30
foot high wall to the north, but rather at a 14 foot wall and if Mr.
Kroll is suggesting that 30 feet is what is needed to attenuate, that is
an extremely tall wall except that if it is built on the berm it would
Page No. 9
July 16, 1996
only need to be 14 feet tall. He stated that from the northeast corner
of the substation to the sheet pile wall would be 16 feet, and along
the east line of the substation it would taper down.
Councilmember Smith stated that Council's question on July 2 was
if a wall needs to be built, would steel be the best.
Mr. Callahan stated that from a structural standpoint, steel was
selected.
Mr. Kroll asked for a clarification on which transformer is to be
removed. He stated that the transformer in the southwest corner
appeazs to be the loudest.
Mr. Callahan responded that that is the transformer being removed.
�' He stated that the middle transformer would be the closest one to the
wall.
Mayor Mertensotto sta.ted that he understands that NSP has not had
an opporiunity to meet with Mr. Kroll. He suggested that Mr. Mr.
Kroll meet with the NSP representatives and review the NSP design,
so that he can give NSP his specific concerns and NSP can discuss
remedial measures that may be feasible. Subsequently, Council can
see if it can work out an agreement with NSP that enhances the
substation site.
Mr. Callahan responded that reference has been made that NSP
should spend some percentage of the total project cost on sound
reduction.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Mr. Callahan has stated that it was
not feasible to spend so much money, and that he (the Mayor) said
that if NSP were to spend $4 million for the project, $200,000 is not
unreasonable for sound attenuation.
Mr. Callahan responded that reference keeps being made to a$4
million project and therefore a percentage of the money should be
spent for noise reduction. He stated that NSP must be concerned
about rates and is regulated by the Public Utilities Commission. He
stated tha.t there are 150 substations in the metro area, and NSP tries
to be fair and treat all communities in a consistent manner. He
stated that NSP does not go beyond the letter of the order and has
done some extra things in the Mendota Heights project with
landscaping and the wall extension. He stated that NSP feels it
meets the tests, and the Planning Commission agreed and
recommended approval of the proposal. He further stated that NSP
Page No. 10
July 16, 1996
is within the guidelines now and is willing to guarantee that the
substation will be within the MPCA guidelines that the city has
adopted in its ordinance, but that he would be willing to meet with
Mr. Kroll.
Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Callahan if he would be willing to
meet Mr. Kroll to see if something can be done that is feasible and
reasonable.
Mr. Callahan stated that he would listen to Mr. Kroll's proposals and
respond to them but cannot make any commitments.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that this is a major substation and
an existing condition but with the sensitivity of the residents to air
noise, when there is an opportunity to reduce noise, Council tries to
reduce it.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that NSP must look at this as long term
investment and if Council can improve on the noise that is generated
by the facility, it should do it now. He further stated that the city
needs to be involved and someone from engineering should monitor
the process.
Mr. Callahan asked if the city would give up some of the
landscaping if the sound is a primary issue.
Mayor Mertensoto responded that if NSP is not effective in reducing
noise, Council will do what needs to be done. He asked Mr.
Callahan to advise city staff when he plans to meet with Mr. Kroll,
and a staff representative will attend the meetings.
Mr. Bagley stated that what NSP has done is apply for a conditional
use to do some mining, and the only thing he has heard about is
noise.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the city's residents have asked
Council to do something with the constant hum.
Mr. Bagley stated that the facility is an existing substation and NSP
is not doing anything to the transformers. He further sta.ted that NSP
is asking for a permit to put in a capacitor that will not generate
more noise and to do mining, but as a good neighbor, NSP will add
landscaping and a wall to reduce noise. He stated that the existing
noise is not what the improvement or permits are about, and for NSP
to make a$4 million improvement that produces no noise, the City
�
Page No. 11
July 16, 1996
is asking N5P to reduce existing noise that will remain unabated if
no improvements are made to the facility.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the substa.tion will be there for many
yeazs, and Council is aslcing for NSP to improve the noise situation
if it is economically feasible. He explained that Council is
considering an application for conditional use permit, and
conditional use permits impose conditions.
Mr. Bagley responded that he does not want to create any false
hopes but NSP will work with Mr. Kroll. He sta.ted that the city's
performance standards for noise are the PCA standards and the PCA
has reviewed the NSP readings and told NSP it is in compliance
with current standards. He further stated that the PCA will do before
and after testing free of charge. He stated that the city has hired a
consultant for $2,500 to give consultation which NSP feels will
result in $200,000 walls that NSP will not built, since NSP is
required to meet the performance standards in the city's ordinance.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that it is not a question of addressing
standards as much as it is dealing with a nuisance. He further stated
that the residents aze telling Council that the noise is a nuisance, and
that the noise elcists all of the time.
Further discussion was continued to August 6.
SUPERAMERICA City Attomey Hart reviewed the revisions to Sections 10 and 11 of
the SA agreement. He explained that the new language is that the
city may make the final decision regarding approval of the RICAD
either before or after MPCA approval. He s tated that the city must
get involved irnmediately upon receipt of the proposed RICAD,
make any objections and withhold final approval until there is an
approved RICAD. He stated that the city has 30 days from receipt
of the proposed RICAD and must comment in that 30 day period;
the city then has 60 days following receipt of the final approval and
must make its final decision on approving the RICAD within 60
days, so the city has two levels of scrutiny.
Mr. Jim Ellerbe, representing SuperAmerica, stated that the changes
suggested by Attorney Hart are acceptable to SuperAmerica.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the revised language clarifies what
has been approved in principle.
Mr. Ellerbe agreed that it is just clarification.
Page No. 12
July 16, 1996
Mayor Mertensotto stated that section 11 clarifies that the dollaz
amount is up to $50,000.
Mr. Ellerbe responded that the clarification is acceptable.
Mr. Jim Walston, attomey for Dakota. Bank, stated that the terms
discussed this evening are acceptable to the bank.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council will put the matter on the
consent calendar as faz as clarifying items ten and eleven of the site
plan and development agreement, and SuperAmerica/Da.kota Bank
can then proceed with its closing and get on with the development.
CONSENT CALENDAR Councilmember Smith moved approval of the consent calendar for

PARK CIP Council acknowledged a memo from Pazks Project Manager
Kullander regarding the proposed parks five yeaz capital
improvement program recommended by the Parks and Recreation
Conunission.
Councilmember Smith stated that she was looking for the addition of
tennis courts in the Hagstrom/King Park. She stated that when
Council discussed the Kensington Park, there was discussion on
tennis and the sta.tement was made that there was room at
Page No. 14
July 16, 1996
Hagstrom/King and the area was graded. She pointed out that the
residents of the Kensington area felt that tennis courts would occur
in a reasonable time.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that Mr. Kullander had
indicated to him that the tennis courts are in the program but that he
forgot to add them.
Administrator Batchelder stated that last year's CIP did include
tennis courts at Hagstrom/King and that the tennis courts are one of
the Park and Recreation Commission's priorities. He was not sure if
the tennis courts were scheduled in the CIP for 1997 or 1998, but
they aze on the original list and will be incorporated into the plan.
Referring to the Pazks and Recreation Commission meeting minutes,
Councilmember Smith stated that the reason for increased green
space in the middle schaol site was because there was a drainage
issue and to accommodate improved drainage control required that
the soccer fields be narrowed by ten yazds. She stated that the safety
of the homes behind the field was the primary Council concern and
the reason why the change was made. She noted that one of the
Commission members indicated that he did not understand why the
change was made.
Councilmember Koch moved to acknowledge the Parks Five Year
Capitol Improvement Plan, subject to inclusion of the
Hagstrom/King tennis courts, for future Council consideration.

COiJNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she has been asked by a
resident that there be a left turn lane going north on T.H. 110 from
Delawaze Avenue. She also informed staff about an erosion
problem on Arbor Drive.
CABLE FRANCHISE Councilmember Huber informed Council that NDC-4 and
Continenta.l Cable are getting into disagreements and the cable
commission wants to get the issues resolved before there is a new
operator. He stated that there will be a public hearing on July 24 on
the matter and that NDC-4 must approve or deny the transfer to U.S.
West. He informed Council that at the executive committee meeting
last Wednesday, the committee moved to deny three variances for
Continental.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council should definitely support
Councilmember Huber. He stated that he can see where if
Page No. 15
July 16, 1996
Continental sells to U.S. West, U.S. West will ultimately have to
divest itself of the franchise but could sit on a variance until the end
of the franchise. He felt that it is a lame duck situation and U.S.
West will not be concerned about the welfare of the system and
nught regress on the services and quality now provided by
Continental. He stated that Council should go on record as directing
Councilmember Huber to vote to deny the acquisition by U.S. West,
which would set the stage for objecting to granting any future
variances.
Councilmember Huber agreed, stating that the fianchise will expire
in three to four years and it is important that Council be on record
with its concerns.
Councilmember Smith moved to authorize Councilmember Huber to
notify NDC-4 that Council recommends that the transfer of the
NDC-4 cable fiancluse be denied and that it is in the best interest of
the city and the other joint powers members that the cable
commission deny the transfer.

COLTNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Mertensotto stated that the National League of Cities
conference will be in San Antonio on December 7-10, and stated
that any interested Councilmembers must submit their reservations
by August 2.
Councilmember Smith stated that she received a call from a resident
to the west of Sibley who was concerned about the Dakota. County
trail that will go along T.H. 110. The resident stated that there is
significant wildlife migration across the highway and was concemed
that a proposed fence that would confuse the animals and create a
significant traffic hazard.
Administrator Batchelder responded that the city has gone on record
with Dakota County on two sepazate occasions about the trail and
can comment again. He stated that the concern is legitimate.
Councilmember Huber moved to notify Dakota County and any
other involved agencies that Council does not want a fence between
the pedway and the traveled portion of T.H. 110, where the trail
transcends the city along T.H. 110.

Public Works Director Danielson responded that striping usually is
done on trails wider than eight feet.
Councilmember Krebsbach suggested installing signs for single file
on bicycles.
Administrator Batchelder stated that staff will investigate the matter
and bring it to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
There was brief discussion over the timing of the traffic signal at
Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road.
Administrator Batchelder updated Council on the Ivy Falls Park
unprovements and informed Council that the HRA has asked
Council's preference for a date for the groundbreaking ceremony for
the senior housing facility. It was the consensus that 3:30 on July 31
is Council's preference.

Ms. Sylvia Nelson appeared before the Parks and Recreation Co�r�nission to request
improvements to the "Friendly I3ills Tot Lot." Ms. Nelson stated that the children of the
surrounding neighbors had lost the use ofthe park for two seasons due ta the stockpiling
of constructian debris and other materials. Ms. Nelsan continued that although the
contractor had done an excellent job of grading and Ieveiing, the seeding did not take due
ta excessively rocky ground, minimal topsoil and a lack of rain. Ms. Nelson presented the
foliowing "wish list" fc�r the Friendly Hi11s Tot Lat:
1. Picking up of Racks, the Addition of Topsoil, and Reseeding this fall
2. A 4'-wide bituminous "Trike-Track" ar "Tread Walk" around the perimeter ofthe
pa.rk for Tricycles, Strollers, `Big Wheels", e#c.
3. Four trees
4. One or twa Park Benches and a Picnic Table
5. A half-court basketball pad and backbaard an one of the corners
[Commissioner Linnell arrived at this point.]
Chairman Spicer informed Ms. Nelsan that the afficial positian of the City is that this
parcel is not a park. Chairman Spicer continued that the City does not want to incur
responsibility for another "Tot Lot", having learned from previous experiences with
another "Tot Lot".
Nevertheless, Chairman Spicer added, planting trees in the City is always a good idea, and
he would entertain a motion to recommend that the City Council authorize.the planting of
additional trees on this parcel.
Commissioner Libra moved to recommend to the Council that they authorize Staff to do
the following: .
1. review the site restoration and reseeding of the parcel by the street contractor
2. install at least 4 trees to be paid out of the street reconstruction project.
Commissioner Norton seconded the motion.
AYES: 5

Ms. Nelson complimented the City on its excellent maintenance of City parks, thanked the
Parks and Recreation Commission for their motion, and said that she would attempt to
revive the now inactive Friendly H'ills Homeowner's Association for other future
improvements at the tot lot.
VICTORIA CURVE TRAII.
Mr. Kullander informed the Commission that Council had directed Staffto look at the
possibility of providing a trail along Victoria Curve and to present the plan to the
Commission for review. Mr. Kullander provided the Commission with the following
scenarios:
1. E�end the City's trail system along �ctoria Curve and pay for it from the Special
Park funds.
2. Widen the shoulders on both sides of Victoria Curve with funding from the Road and
Bridge Department or some other fund source.
Commissioner Liberacki moved to recommend that the Council select the second option,
widening the shoulders on both sides of �ctoria Curve if Council desired to improve
roadway safety from City Ha11 to Hunter Lane.

Mr. Kullander informed the Commission that Councit had inquired about the possibiiity of
striping the bike trail in Va11ey Paxk. Mr. Kullander continued that the MnI70T literature
on the subject recommends against striping bike trails �ess than 20 feet wide, which is the
case with the City's bike trail. Mr. Kullander cantinued that an alternate passibility would
be cutting down trees and excess brush along the bike tra.ils, as necessazy, where there is
bad visibility. 1Vir. Kullander added that arny saf'ety concerns along the bike trails were
really a matter-of visibitity and poor site distances rather than traffic vatume.
Mx. Linnell maved ta recommend that the Council not paint the trails, but instead bnxsh
out a minimurn of four feet on both sides of the trail where possible (rernoving only those
trees that are a direct safety hazard} and revisit the issue of striping the trails after the
clean-out had been completed.

Mr. Kutiander explained that Cauncil had inquired about the absence of a new tennis court
at Hagstrom-King Park in the five-year Capital Irnpravement Plan recammended by the
Parks and Recreation Cammission.
Commissioner Libra stated that the Tennis Courts the City currently has are rather lightly
used, and thai #hey aze quite e�ensive to construct.
Mr. Kullander infarrned the Cornmission that the Barton-Ashman 1985 Park and
Recreation Facility Needs Study manuai recomrnends that the City have eight tennis
caurts, Mr. Kullander added that the City eurrsntly has 12 courts with an additional 8 at
Sibley H'igh School and 3 at Visitation, for a total of 23 courts. Mr. Kullander added that
ta his knowledge the city had received no written or oral correspondence from residents
asking for a new tennis court.
Chairman Spicer asked that Staffrelay the following sentiments ta the Council:
1. that the City already has mare tennis courts than it needs
2. that the City had received no wntten requests for additional tennis courts
3. that a new tennis court constitutes a"big-ticket" item which is not customarily put in
the Parks 5-year CIP
4. and that the Parks Commission was mainly in the business of responding to need
3
(Although all Commissioners present appeared to concur with the above, no formal
motion was rnade to that effect.)
BANG BOARD
Mr. Kullander infarmed the Commission that the City had received a request for a"bang
board" at the Friendly Fiz�Is Tennis Court from Mr. Brian Muthyala. Mr. Kullander added
that bang boards should be physically separated from the rest of the teannis court so as not
to intezfere with normal tennis ptay.
Chairman Spicer said that any such Bang Baard should have a sign that prohibits its use
during normal tennis play. Mr. Spicer asked Mx, Kullander how much a bang board
would cost. �
Mr. Kullander replied that it wauld cost fram $3000-$4000 dollars to add one at an
existing court.
Chairman Spicer directed Mr. Kullander to write a letter to the resident requesting the
"bang board" stating that the Parks and Recreatian Commission had discussed his request
and had decided ta reconsider the installation of a baag board at any new tennis court '
which rnight be built in the future. �

Mr. Kuiiander informed the Commission that he and Commissioner Narton had continued
work on developing a Cross-Country ski trail in Valley Park. .

far this winter. '
Mr. Kullander answered fihat the Par 3 Golf Caurse had expressed a wiilingness to wor1�
with the City this fall to develop a trail on the Par 3 Golf Course.

Speciai Parks fund for the creation of a segment of the proposed Cross-Country ski trail

CELEBRATE MENDOTA HEIGHTS PARKS!
Mr. Esser informed the Commission that everything was on schedule for the fifth annual
Celebrate Mendota Heights Parks on Saturday August 24. Mr. Esser added that he would
like to especially thank volunteers Strom, Weisenburger and Burline. Mr. Esser continued
that Commissioner Klei�iglass had �lready volunteered, and that there was still a need for
additional volunteers. �
Commissioner Libra asked why the Celebration would be held in August this year instead
of the usual July.
Mr. Esser explained that by the time he was hired as Recreation Programmer, he found
himself "at the mercy of the Scheduling Book" and that August 24 was the best remaining
date. Mr. Esser also expressed his regrets that there would be no softball tournament
coinciding with the Celebration this year, which is typically a major draw to the event.
Mr. Esser concluded that he is already taking steps to assure that the 1997 Celebration
will occur in July, complete with the softball tournament.
REV�W OF SUM1��R PROGRAMS
Mr. Esser produced a summary of the Summer Programs he received from ISD 197
Community Education. Mr. Esser said that the estimate of 201 total Mendota Heights
children participating was probably too high by 40 kids.
Commissioner Norton added that even accounting for such an error, the programs still
involved more kids than previous years.
Mr. Esser added that West Saint Paul planned to pave one of their hockey rinks for off-
season Rollerblade hockey and that he and Mr. Kullander would wait until West Saint
Paul had one season of experience with this idea, consult them on its feasibility, and
contemplate this possibility for Mendota Heights.
FIVE YEAR CIP PLAN
Commissioner Liberacki asked if the bids for items such as"Porta-Potty" enclosures and
bleacher pads should be "lumped together" in a single year in order to save money on
volume.
Mr. Kullander said that this would be possible.
Commissioner Linnell moved that the expenditures for all 10 porta-potty enclosures be
moved into the 1997 column under Special Park Funded projects and to request that
Council consider including this expenditure in the 1997 City Budget.

Dear Resident:
The City acknawledges your petition regarding the 5ound Insulatian program operated by the
Metropalitan A,%`rports Commission {IVIACj that you have noticed near your ne"rghborhood.
Formally known as the MAC Part 150 Residential Sound Insulatian Pragram, this is a federal
.. pmgram implemented #hmugh MAC by the Federal Aviation Administra�ion (FAA) ta make
neighborhoods located near aiiports more compatible with �rt noise. We appreciate your
interest in this prt�gram and this Ietter is an attempt to describe the Part 154 progr�um far yau.
Ti�e Part I50 Program is a pmgram where FAA funds are given to Icseal aiipt�rt operators
(M�,G� to provide sound insulatiaa to residential. and educational stcuctures or to acquire -�
P�rtY within eligt"ble areas around airports. liie area of eligibility far this pmgram has
bean defined by the F.AA as the approved 1996 DNL 6S noise�contour. (Please see attached
map.)
1`he 1996 DNL noise contour represents a ii.ve-year prajectian of the yearly noise average at
the Minneapolis-St� Paul International Air�x�rt {�vISP}. This cuntaur has been over]aid on a
land use map around MinneapolislSt. Pau1 Air�ort to define the a��ea of eligibility. Rssidences
and schools inside or adjacent to tbis LDN 65 cantour are eligible for Federal assistance. The
Metropolitan Aixports Commissian i�plements this pmgram through'funding pmvided by the
FAA and MAC in the Part 154 Souad Insulatian Frogram.
The City of Mendata Heights has no control aver the FAA Part 150 grogYam with the
exception of whether we d�sire to parbicipate in this.pmgram or not. � Since 1991, the City of
Mendata J3eights has a;greed to p�articipate in this pragram and for the L�st several years 54
homes in the Furlong Addition, along Pilot Knob Road, Rogers Raad (naw known as Bourne
Lane} and along Lexingtan Avenue have had the opportunity to voluntaar�ly partici�3ate.
5chaols, whetb.er they are public or private, are second in priarity to resident3al. stiucxures for
saund insul[ation. Visita�ian and St. Thomas Academy are inside the are,a of eligibility, and
recently have attained the priority level necessary to pazticipate in the progrdm. '
Recently the FA.A has approved the extension of the Part 150 program ta inclade °bouadary
blocks". Boundary blocks are defined as blcrcks tbat are in#ersected hy fhe autermast b5 DNL �`�.
contour boundary of the app�roved 1996 Noise Ilxposure Map. Based on the "boundary black" -
decision, an additiona135 homes �n the Curley Neighbarhaad, aiong I.exington Avenue, �`:
Wagoa Wheel, Swan Drive and Rogers Avenue have become eligible for 1996 funding.

The City of Mendota Heights is strongly advocating the expansion of the area of eligibility for
the FAA Part 150 program. Mayor Mertensotto is currently worki.ag extremely hard through
the MSP Mitigation Committee to see that the sound insulation pmgrams are expanded to
include other Mendota Heights neighborhoods including Wagoa Wheel Trail, Rogers Lake
neighborhood, Eide Addition, Mendakota Estates, Curley neighborhood and Friendly Hills. -
Mendota. Heights has long advocated the expansion of the Part 150 Program to the DNL 60
contour wluch would iaclude all the above mentioned neighborhoods. It makes no sense to
draw a curtain on a map in which homes on one side are 100 percent eligible and homes on the
other side are not eligible. We are hoping that through our current efforts, we can achieve an
expanded area of eligibility. However, these decisions are exclusively under the control of the
MAC and the FAA.
Your petition will be forwarded to Mr. 5teve Vecchi, Program Director at the Metmpolitan
Aimorts Commission for the Part 150 Noise Program. Your petition will be forwarded to the ..
Airport Relations Commission and to the City Council. I have attached some background
information on the Part 150 program for your information. Please do not hesitate to contact
me if you have further questions, or would like to discuss this issue.

(�—

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kevin Batchelder, City Ad�r ����or
Subject: Acknowl.edge Certif'ication of Affordable and Life Cycle Housing Opportunities
Amount {A�LHOA} - Livab% Communities Act
We have received a natice fmm the Metropolitan Council aunouncing aur Affordable
and Life Cycle Housing Opporlunities Amount (ALHOA� for 1997. The AI.HQA is an
amount of expenditure required of a participating community to support, or assist the
development of affordable and life-cycle housing or to maintain existing affordable and life
cqcle housing.
The Dakata County �IRA acts on the behalf of Mendota Heights to provide hausing in
the community and in June Mendota Heights agreed to be part of the Dakota County HIZA's
cluster plan for participating in the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. As was the case
for 1996, the amount of funding that the HIZA e�ends in Mendota Heights far exceeds the _
required ALHOA for 1997. The 1.997 ALHOA far Mendota Heights is $10,045. E�camp�es
of e�enditures that would be counted as an ALIiC?A e�aenditure include the use of CDBG .
monies or rehabilitation loan programs.
Alsa, the Metropolitan Cauncil is reminding each comumunity that participation in the
Metrogolitan Livable Cammunities Act far 1997 reqaires formal notice, by resolution, prior ta
November 15, 1996. The Metropolitan Council requires participation to be eligible for access
ta ihe $11 nullion in the t�uee funding accounts of the Li�able Communities Act. The Dakata.
County Cluster P1an is a five year plan.
No action required. This natice is being farwazded to City Council for informatian
purposes.

Certification of the Affordable and Life-cycle Housing Opportunities Amount - ALHOA
11Tetropolitan Livable Communities Act
"'I'�e Livable Co.mmunities Act of 1995 (LCA) requires that the Metropolitan Council annually notify every
municipality in the region of its af� j''ordable and lJfe-cycle housing opportunities amount (AL'ri�fsj iar :.�e
following year.
The ALHOA is an amount of expenditure by the community to support, or assist the development of
affordable and life-cycle housing or maintain existing affordable and life-cycle housing. Expenditure of the
ALHOA is required of communities that want to compete for access to over $11.0 million available
annually through the LCA's three funding accounts. The ALHOA is derived from the formula prescrihed
in the law involving market value, tax capacity, and tax rates provided to the Metropolitan Council
annually by the county assessor.
There are a number of sources of local financial contribution that can be counted as an ALHOA
expenditure. Some examples iriclude — local financial contributions to housing assistance, development or
rehabilitation programs, the use of CDBG monies for.housing activities or a tax levy to support a local or
county HRA. -
The 1997 ALHOA for your community is the amount found in the shaded column on the enclosed ALHOA
norification.
As requiretl by law, beginning in 1998, the Metropolitan Council must annually determine whether
participating communities ha.ve expended this ALHOA during the previous calendar year. If not, the
commiuuty may be r�uired.tQ di�±ribute this AJ.HOA to the Hausing Incentiye Account or to their local or
county HRA.
If you,want to continue to participate in the LCA for 1997, you must inform the Metropolitan Council of
your intention to do so prior to November 15. For your convenience, a model resolution regarding 1997 is
enclosed.
If you have any questions about the ALHOA, please call Guy Peterson at 291-6418. If you have questions

Attached is a copy of the praposed assessment m11 for Curley's Valley View Additian.
► .� - 4 i � ���.�
The feasibility report for this groject was presented to Cauncil in June af 1995. This is
a 104 parcel area with 8 vacant lots inclnding S lots in the new Dakota Bank Plat on Mary
Adele.
At the feasibility hearing in 1995, Council set a per lat assessment of $3,500 with the
City assuming 50°b of project costs. As of this week, storm sewer, curbs, driveways, and the
first lift af bitumutous are in place, Sodding will follow shortly and a decision an when to
place the fiinal lift of bituminaus will be made after sod is in place. To date costs have been in
Iine with feasibility estimates.
The majority of the praperties will have an assessment af $3,5{}0. There were 23
properiy owners that requested extra driveway improvements and they have been charged
appropriately. The five Iots owned by Dakata Bank have a street assessment of $3,500 and a
$1,900 assessment for sewer and water services. Unpaid utility main assessments cantinue to
be deferred as per Developers Agreement for Dakata Valley View Plat. The small U.S. West
lot on Cullen will be assessed as a'/a lat.
, ! R� t�� l�l�l l: M f�
The Curley area street recanstruction project currently is not fully completed, but 95 °lo
of the work will be done by the end of August. Due to the cansiderable interest expense
which wauld accrue on this project, staff recommends that the City certify the assessment roll
this yeaz, rather than delay it until next year.
It is recommended that a public hearing be conducted at the September 17, 1996 City
Council meeting to consider adoption of the attached assessment roll.
��T�IM�1 � ; / J1; �}1
Review the attached assessment roll, make any changes and then if Council desires to
unplement the Staff recommendation, pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 96- ,

SUBTECT: Assessment Roll Infarmation - Mendota Meadows
Jab No. 9506
� Imp. 95-1
1 _ K IR
Attached is a copy of the proposed assessment rall for the Mendota. Meadows project as
being develaped by Mr. 7ohn Mathern. Mr. Mathern petitioned for this project and waived all
rights for a public heaiing, however he has now developed 211ots, and we recommend that a
hearing now be canducted.
c � R : � ��� r
The feasibility report for this project was presented to Council in August of 1994.
This was a 3b parcel subdivision with 2 parcels dedicated as ponding and open space.
The feasibility report estimated ihe following praject costs as:
Utilities
Streets, Wa1ks, and Lights
Estimated. per lat cost was:
�1� _--_ ' ;, ! !_ 1
$181,300
$128,0{}0
$309,3�0
, : .11
The fmal construction cc�sts are $230,874 plus overhead of $72,432 (31 I} for a total
project cost of $302,9Q6.
Since the developer sabmitted a revised plat with 34 instead of 36 Iots, the per lot
assessment rose slightly, even thaugh praject costs were below estimate.
Total per 1ot assessment for tlie 341ots in Mendata. Meadows is $$,909.
� 1UI�II �II; Y ��
It is recommended that a public hearing be conducted at the September 17, 1996 City
Council meeting to consider adoption of the attached assessment roll.
r;t���� ��: �
Review the attached assessment roll, make any changes and then if Council desires to
implement the Staff recommendation, pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 96- ,
"Resolution Calling For Hearing on Assessment Roll for Mendota Meadows (Improvement
No. 95, Project NO. 1) Improvements."

hearing now be conducted.
: ; : ; 1 1�t 1
The feasibiliry report for this project was presented to Council in July of 1995. This
was a 20 parcel subdivision with 2 parcels not assessed at developers request, as they are not
adjacent to project streets and utilities and receive no benefit from the project.
The feasibility report estimated the following project costs as:
Utilities
Streets
Estimated per lot cost was:
�II��_ ':� 1 �
$170,000
$ 88,000
$258,OU0
$ 14,350
The fmal construction costs are $207,818 plus overhead of $64,936 (31 °b) for a total
project cost of $272,754.00.
Final construction costs are slightly higher than esti.mated because the developer
approved a construction contract bid 12 � higher than estimated, but actual construction costs
were slightly lower than the bid amount by 5°lo .
Total per lot assessment for the 181ots in ivy Falls South is $15,153.00.

SUBJECT: Friendly Hills Tot Lot
I�M��� 1 y 1�.
Ms, Sylvia Nelson, 2349 Apache Street contacted City Offices requesting that
impmvements be made in the Friendly F[ills "Tot Lot". Staff directed Ms. Nelson to present
her request to the Parks and Recreation Commissian.
r •l � �
Ms. Nelson listed the improvements she would like to see installed at the tot lot ta the
Parks and Recreatian Commissian {raughly estimated at $12,040}. The Commission stated
that they were not in favor of making the improvements to this tot 1at, because Frienclly Hills
Park was onl.y 35U' away and because the City did not wish ta incar more responsibility for
"Tot Lots". The Commission did agree that the planting of tre�s might be appmpriate.
�_ � � u1��1 �!! ;����
The Park and Recreation Commission recommends that City Council consider inst��lling
faur trees in the friendiy Hills Tot Lot. The Commission further recommends that the City
Lngineer review the quality of dirt used ta fil1 the low areas of the tot 1ot, remove proiiuding
rocks, add the specified amaunt of top sail required in the Street Re+constructian Contract, re-
establish the turf, and add four trees out of Street Reconstruction Fund.
* M � � � ! aiC !
Tf the Council agrees with the Park and Recreation Commissian's recommendation they
should authorize Staff to re-establish turf and install four trees in the Friendly Hills Tot Lot
from the S�et Recansiivction Fund.

Friendly Hi11s Tot Lot
Ms. Sylvia Nelson, 2349 Apache Street, will be present this evening to request
Iandsca.pe impr�vements for Friendly �[ills Tat Zot,
: � il �.! :1.
The Con�mission discussed this par�el of park land which was dedicated to the City
when the original housing develapment was built. Friendly Hills Park did not exist at that
time and the deveiaper dedicated the Iand and variaus pieces of playground equipment ta the
City. Sevexal years later the City acquired thmugh dedicatian and purchase the existing
Friendly F[ills Park.
In late 1989, the Cammission recammended to Council that the a1d play equipment,
which was in a dangeraus condition, be removed and the laad sold for single family
development and tbe proce�ds from the Iand sale be used for impmvements in. Friendly Hills
Pazk. The subject of installing play eqaipment in the tot lot was discussed. The Commission
felt that the play equipment in Friendly Hillas Park was anly 300 feet away and that any
investment here would be a duplication. �
Council held a public he�ring on January 16, 1990 with many residents present and
oppased to the selling of the lots. After discussian of proposed referendum improvements and
why no money was designated for this #ot 2ot the Council referred the issue back to the
Commission for �econsideration,
Sever�l residents attended the February 13, 1990 mee�ing and requested improvements
for the tot loi. The Commission did not want ta make any imp�avements because of the
pmximiry af the play equipment in the park. Chairperson Huber asked the Parks Commission
if there were any moti.ans based on the citizen's request. There were na motions forthcomi.ng
from the Commission.
During the recent strcet reconstructian pmjeet the low areas of the tot lot were filled
and reseeded. T`his was done so that the mowers would not bog dawn when graund water
levels were high. The only maintenance done on this parcel is regular Lurf mowing.

SUBJECT: Parks 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan
N I�Y Y: � 1 M��
Council inquired as to why the constiuction of tennis courts at Hagstrom-King Park
was not included in the 1997-2001 Park 5 Year CIP and requested Staff to ask the Parks and
Recreation Commission to review this item for inclusion in the CIP.
1 I�
The Commission felt that "big ticket" items should not be placed on the 5 Year CIP but
be considered on an "As Needed or As Requested" basis. The Commission has not received
any written requests in the past two years for tennis courts at this park.
The Commissioners expressed skepticism at the need for additional tennis courts at this
time and said they would revisit this issue when a formal request is presented to the
Commission.
I�_ 1 ��I��I_��1 ; y � �
The Commission does not recommend scheduling the construction of tennis courts in
Hagstrom-King Park at this time.
I�I Y �� t��1;_ 1
If the City Council concurs with the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation
Commission, they should take no action to place this item on the 5 Year CIP.

SUBJECT: Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Council acknowledged receipt of the recommended plan at the 7uly 16, 1996 regular
meeting. Councilmember Smith requested the Commission revisit the plan and to schedule in
the tennis courts at Hagstrom-King Park.
The Commission stated that large ticket items, such as the Cross Country Ski Trail,
Lights at Mendakota Park, etc. would not be included in the Five Year Plan but reviewed on a
per project basis and did not need to included in the CII'.
:i � ; � M;� y�.r.i � �t � �. � 11Y:� ; : : ;
Tennis courts were proposed at the North Kensington Park. Residents and Council said
no. The Commission told neighbors that courts in Hagstrom King would be considered after
plans for the new Middle Schaol were approved. Staff has not received any new requests for a
court in this park siace the North Kensington Park discussion in 1993.
fn the 1985 Facility Needs Study the recommended standards for the number of tennis
courts in a City with a population of 14,0{?0 would be eight (8). Our inventory at this time is
City owned = 12, Schaol District 197 = 8, Private School = 3. No record of private courts
exists in my files.
���ZK� ��iu���l� :jwCi�#
The Commission may want to revisit the CIP and add in new improvements in
upcoming years or more clearly state the Commissions criteria for what type aad size of
project is to be evaluated on an as needed or as requested basis, especially projects that
exceeded $25,0{}0. �
Attached is a list of improvements to consider adding to the Five Year CIP.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kevin Batchelder, City Ad tor
Subject: Presentation of Air Noise Plan of Action
DISCUSSION
The City's Airport Relations Commission has been reviewing and updating its Air
Noise Plan of Action over the last several months. The Commission has fuushed their work
and would like to present to the Council their recommended Airport Noise Plan of Action for
consideration.
The original Airport Noise Plan of Action was accepted by City Council on August 2,
1994 and has served the City well over the last two years. Many of the items in the original
plan have been completed successfully. As a blueprint for action, the plan has greatly assisted
the Commission, the Council and staff in focusing on air noise reduction and mitigation
priorities.
As stated earlier, the Commission has reviewed the original plan and the action steps
that have been addressed are marked as completed in the revised version before you this
eveni.ng. The Commission has chosen to use the same model in developing the updated plan.
This model includes five basic steps, as follows:
1. Identify focus issues .
2. Identify specific goals
3. List what needs to be done - Action Steps
4. Identify who will work on each action step
5. Determine when each action step will be addressed
Based on this model, the Commission has identified six broad "focus" issues, as
follows:
1. Noise Reduction Through Modif'ied Takeoff Procedures
2. Heighten Awareness of Mendota Heights Air Noise Concerns
3. MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan
4. Conversion to Stage III Quieter Aircraft
5. Noise Reduction through Litigation
6. Assure Eligibility for Part 150 Sound Insulation in Affected Areas
Recognizing the changing and dynamic nature of the airport and its associated air noise
impacts, it is acknowledged that this Plan of Action will need to be updated from time to time.
Mr. Scott Beaty, Chair of the Airport Relations Commission, and other Commissioners will be
present on T�esday evening to present the recommended plan of action. It is recommended
that the Draft Air Noise Plan of Action be accepted as the document which will guide the
City's air noise mitigation efforts over the course of the next year.
RECOMMENDATION
The Airport Relations Commission, at their meeting of August 14, 1996, voted
unanimously to recommend that City Council accept the Draft Air Noise Plan of Action.
ACTION REQUIRED
City Council should receive the presentation from the Airport Relations Commission of
the Draft Airport Noise Plan of Action and should offer any suggestions, modifications or
additions. Subject to this discussion, City Council should consider a motion to accept the
Airport Noise Plan of Action as the blueprint which will guide our efforts to reduce and
mitigate air noise exposure within the community for the next year.

SUBJECT: Bunker Hills Street Reconstruction Feasibility Report
Job No. 9514
Improvement No. 96, Project No. 3
INTRODUCTION•
The condition of the existing streets in the Bunker Hills neighborhaad are such that
typical preventative maintenance practices no longer provides an acceptable driving surface.
The streets ia this neighborhaod wanant resurfacing or total reconstruction under these
circumstances, in order to restore the street to an acceptably smooth bituminous surface.
This feasibility report, which the City ordered by Council Resolution No. 96-40, on
June 18, 1996, will discuss the project background, description, costs, financing, schedule,
and offers a recommendation for the improvement. �
BACKGROL]ND:
The streets ia Bunker Hills were constructed in the early 1970's. The streets were
constructed to the City's rural standard of 30 feet wide with a 6" gravel base and a 2"
bituminous surface. During the past 25 years, the streets have been slowly deteriorati.ng, street
sections have lost their cmwn, water is ponding in front of many driveways and the
bituminous surface is cracking and crumbling. Potholes and deficient street sections are
repaired under the yearly street maintenance budget and the curnent frequency and extent of
these repairs suggest that this course of action is no longer prudent. The normal expected
service life for bituminous streets is 20 years, which at tlus time would suggest that a street
reconstsuction project for this neighhorhood is warranted.
PRO.TECT DESCRIPTION:
There are appro�dmately 1.9 miles of streets in the Bunker Hills neighborhood, which
include Arvin Drive, Hilltop Court, Hilltop Road, Ridge Place, Wachtler Boulevard, Willow
Lane, Valley Curve, and the gra.vel alley between Willow Lane and Hilltop Road west of
Dodd Road. A complete reconstniction project in this neighborhood would be more
complicated than adding curb and gutter and installing a new bitumi.nous surface. Installation
• r
of B618 concrete curb and gutter might affect existing drainage pattems on private property.
Grading will be required to match the existing grades with the proposed curb. Side yards may
need to be regraded to drain backyards effectively. All streets, except for Valley Curve
between Willow Lane and Hilltop Road, and the gravel alley west of Dodd Road would be
reconstructed to meet seven ('� ton capacity pavement section design requirements, constructed
33 feet wide face to face with concrete curb and gutter, and storm sewer where appropriate.
There are no driveways wluch provide access to properttes on the section of Valley
Curve between Willow Lane and Hilltop Road, and therefore I see no compelling mason to
reconstruct this section as a street. There are, however, existing sanitary sewer and water lines
constiucted within this right of way, and consequently the City will want to have good access
in this area. to perform maintenance on these facilities. I therefore propose that the section of
Valley Curve between Willow Lane and Hilltop Road be reconstructed as an 8 foot wide
bituminous trail instead of a street in an effort to reduce the cost of this project.
The existing gravel alley only provides driveway access to the six properties on the
west side of the alley. This alley is not within a public right of way. I would assume that the
six property owners who access their properties from this alley would not want it upgraded to
either appear or function as a through street. For the reasons mentioned, I propose that this
alley be paved with bituminous 22 feet wide with an inverted crown (without concrete curb
and gutter). The inverted crown in this design section would convey runoff down the center of
the alley, where it would discharge to either a catch basin connected to the storm sewer
system, or the concrete gutter where the alley joins the street.
Staff received a letter from Steven and Terre Marks of 745 Hilltop Road regarding
safety concerns at the intersection of Hilltop Road and Dodd Road (see attached). One of the
points made in this letter was the possibility of eliminating the Hilltop Road connection to
Dodd Road. There could be some merit in this proposition for a number of reasons, and
Council may want to direct staff to investigate this further.
The installation of curb and gutter on this project necessitates construction of storm
sewer to effectively route storm water runoff off-site. There are several locations in the
Bunker Hills neighborhood where storm water presently diains to some existing storm sewer
catch basins or culverts. The existing storm sewer conduits would be utilized and incoiporated
into the design of the proposed storm sewer system design wherever possible and appropriate
in an effort to reduce cost, and minimize storm sewer construction impacts.
An effective way of rebuilding streets to achieve a greater design strength is to reclaim
the existing bituminous surface and incorporate the reclaimed bituminous as part of the base
material. This method has been used with good success on the London/Downing, Friendly
Hills and Curley's Valley View Street reconstruction projects, and would be used on this
project. Construction would commence with reclamation of the existing bituminous surface
that would be crushed for use as a recycled aggregate base for this improvement project.
Storm sewer pipes would be constnicted in accordance with the storm sewer system design.
Existing ditches and driveway culverts would be eliminated. Inadequate street subgrade
condi`tians would he repaired. Drain tile would he installed, where necessary and feasible, to
pravide a stable subgrade for street construction. Additional aggregate base wouid be placed
as required. Concrete curb and gutter would be canstiucted, fallowed by the construction of
two lifts of bituminaus surface. Driveways waald be reconstnzcted in kind, to the extent they
were disturbed. Boulevards would be finished graded and restored with seed ar sod.
PRO.iECT COSTS:
A summary of the preliminary estimated pmject casts including contingencies,
enginzeering, administratian, and overhead for the proposed improvement are as follows:
Iiem Description
R�atermain
Storm Sewer
City Standard Streets
TOTAL PROJECT COST
PRO.TECT FINANCING:
Project Cost
This project would be financed from a combination of special assessments,
Infrastructure Reserve, and Water Utility Funds.
In 1992, City Council adopted the Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Palicy.
This palicy encourages the upgiading of �ural street sectians to City Standard Streets. The
policy also makes funds available from various City funding saurces to aid in the cost of
certain street reconst�uction projects.
The City Street Rehabi.litatian and I�:econstruction policy states that the City will
finance up ta 50 percent (509b) of the tatal project cost for a project to upgrade and reconstruct
streets tha.t meet the requirements for City Standard Streets. That same palicy indicates that
benefited pmperties should be assessed the entire cost of the upgrade or capital improvement
{i.e., storm sewer and cancrete curb and gutter}.
This pmject pmpdses to devia#e firom this funding palicy in a manner cansistent with
the other street reconstruction improvement projects which have recently been constructed in
the City. On the other pmjects, after deducting all passible Water Utility, TIF, or Municipal
State Aid (MSA) funding contributions, the City funded SO percent (S0�) of a11 project costs
fram the Infrastructure Reserve Fund that would otherwise be assessed ag►ainst bene�ting
properties. The same funding appmach is being recommended to fmance the cost of these
improvements. Under this proposal, the property owner wvuld be assessed one half of the cost
of the proposed improvement project with matching City Infrastructure Reserve funds after
deducting all contributions from other possible Ciry funding sources,
1
I propose that all incidental watermain related construction costs be financed out of the
Water Utility Fund.
The lots in this neighborhaod are large. Compounding this situation is the relatively
inefficient platting of the lots themselves. Evidence of tlus is exhibited by the significant
number of through lots, and the combined length of corner lot frontage. Given these
circumstances, I am proposing that the City offer assistance in this regard, by arbit�arily
adding another unit assessment to the total number of assessable units for each through lot in
this neighborhood (six additional). Any lots which are curnently vacant, would be included in
the total numher af assessable lots for the determination of the per lot cost, but could have the
assessments deferred until such time as the properiy is developed.
There are 74 assessable residential lots within the project. Adding the 6 through lots
whose assessments would be funded by the City increases the total number of assessable lots to
80. All assessable properties withi.n the improvement pmject, including the six properties
which front the alley, would be assessed 50 percent of the remaining improvement costs on a
per lot basis. The properties wluch front the alley will �enefit from this improvement groject,
but not to the extent of the other properties. For this reason, I propose that these six property
owners pay only that portion of the assessment cost attributable to construction of the alley,
including a proportionate share of the indirect cost, with the remaining balance of the per lot
unit assessment being paid by the City. Based on the funding plan as described, the proposed
total assessment per residential lot, (including two privately owned vacant lots, and six City
subsidized through lots) is: $776,000 = 801ots =$9,700 per lot. The proposed total
assessment per property owner is: $9,700 x 50 °b =$4, 850 per lot.
This project as it is currently proposed is expensive, and results in the highest proposed
per lot assessment to date for any street reconstruction project undertaken in the City.
As was mentioned earlier, this is the case primarily as a result of lot density and the inefficient
platting of the properiy in the neighborhood. As a matter of comparison, the Bunker Hills
neighborhood as it currently exists has 20 °b more lineal feet of street centerline, and 25 °b
fewer assessable properties than the Curley's Valley View Addition neighborhood.
Based on the above criteria, the proposed improvement funding amounts are as follows:
City Standard Street �nding Source:
Water Utility:
Infrastructure Reserve Fund:
Special Assessment:
TOTAL PROJECT:
�nding Amount
$12,040.00
$421,900.00
$354,100.00
$788,000.00
�
PRO.TECT SCHEDULE:
It is anticipated that the entire improvement could be substantially completed during the
1997 constntction season if the pmject is ordered and appraved in a t.ime2y manner. Following
is a tentative schedule af target dates for the proposed improvement project.

PRO.TECT INITIATICIN:
The propased improvement project was brought before the City Council by a petition
af Iess than 35 percent (35 �) of the total assessable frontage af property awners in the Banker
Hills neighbcarhoad, and therefore, Minnesota State Statue Chapter 429, "Loca1
Improvements,. Special Assessments" stipulates that a four-fifths majority will be reqnired if
the City Council is to order this pmposed public imgrovernent,
RECOMMCNDATION:
The Bunker �Ii]1s street reconstiuction praject is feasible from a technical and
economic standpaint, and can be accomplished independent of any ather impmvement project
as praposed. This project, as it is currently proposed, is e�ensive for all the z�easons
mentioned, and results in the highest proposed per 1ot assessment to date for any street
recons�ruction pmject underl.aken in the City. I will be in attendance at the Council meeting to
discuss this report and answer any questions. I recommend that Council be prepared to accept
the feasibili�y repc�rt as presented or amend it as necess�uy, consider using possib% a�iternaiive
City fiunding sources ta increase the City cost participatian to help reduce the per lot
assessments, and procec�d with the pmposed improvement pmject by holding the mandatary
public hearing on September 17, 1996.

Dear Mr Danielson,
I am requesting your attention regarding the safety conditions adjacent to _
our property at Hilltop & Dodd Road. My concern is for the safety of our child,
the chiidren in the neighborhoods along Dodd Road and the risk to motorists. .
As more new housing and young families have populated the areas along Dodd-
Road, I feel it would be prudent for the City of Mendota Heights to lower the
speed limit on Dodd Road North of Hwy 1 10 to 30MPH. Currently the speed limit
is 30MPH as you drive South of Doddway Center, increases to 35MPH once you
pass Somerset Elementary Schooi and then to 40MPH at Wentworth. As vehicles
can never travel more than about 4/�10's of a mile before reaching a stop sign
or a stoplight, lowering the speed limit should have a negligibie effect on the
overall fiow of traffic. Traveling from South to North, the existing 40MPH
speed limit lessens the likelihood of traffic actually slowing to the posted
30MPH before reaching the gradeschool area.
Of greatest concern to me personally is the safety of our 4 year otd son and
the dangerous conditions at the corner of Hilliop Road & Dodd Road. Because of �
the hili and curve on Dodd Road there is extremely poorvisibility between
Willow Road & Hilltop Road and vehicles traveling North to South at 40MPH .
would have little time to react if our child, or a neighbor's child, were to walk,
run or ride a bike onto Dodd Road. Additionaliy, it is very difficult to access
Dodd Road by car from Hilltop Road and almost impossible during a slippery
winter day. I have witnessed many vehicles running the stopsign so as to avoid
getting stuck at the top of Hilltop Road. Because of these conditions I am also
asking that the city act in one of two ways. 1) Place a stop sign on the North &
South direction of Dodd Road at Hilltop Road. 2) Close traffic access to Hiiltop
Road from Dodd Road. This would require only a few households to slightly
reroute as there are two other roads that access Dodd Road, one block North of
Hilltop and one block South as well as access to Marie Ave at Wachler. The
fourth access at Hilltop is very unsafe and does not seem necessary to serve
the relatively small number of homes in the area.
I look forward to talking with you concerning this problem and i am asking
for your help in addressing these safety concerns before a serious accident -
occurs. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Subject: Petition from Tilsen Highland Heights for Street Resurfacing
DISCU5SION
In July, the City received a petition from 42 residents in the Tilsen Highland Heights�
neighborhood requesting that their streets be resurfaced. City Council was informed of this
petition and told that it would be presented at a Council meeti�g when the Bunker Hills Street
Improvement Project was brought forward. (Please see attached petition and cover letter from
Mr. Stanley Karon, 1764 Douglas Court.)
The streets in Tilsen Highland Heights may be beyond typical street repairs that are
budgeted in the annual street mai.ntenance budget. Mendota Heights typically considers one
Street Reconstruction Project per year and in the last several year� we have completed projects
in London/Downing, Friendly Hills and Valley View Heights. City Council is currently
considering the Bunker Hills neighborhood for 1997.
ACTION REOUIRED
City Council should acl�owledge the petition from the residents of Tilsen Highland
Heights and provide staff with any appropriate direction.

This letter is to formally request consideration by the Mendota Heights City
Council of a resolution approving certain amendments to the Bond Financing Documents
for the Lexington Heights Apartments Project. Lexington Heights Associates Limited
Partnership has received the approval from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development for a federally insured refinancing loan for the Lexington Heights
Apartments Project. In order to satisfy the HUD regulations and requirements for this
�IA insured refinancing loan, we received notice yesterday that the Bond Financing
Documents would have to be amended to incorporate the provisions requested in our
amendments. The Bond Documents currently in effect included similar restrictions due
to the FHA loan financing in April, 1991, and those restrictions were approved by the
City of Mendota. Heights upon the issuance of the refunding bonds for this Project at
that time. The amendments we have now presented to the City of Mendota Heights are
intended to update the HLTD requirements, rather than to change any substantive terms
of the financing with respect to the City.
The FHA refinancing loan is scheduled to close on August 30, 1996 and we
request that the resolution regarding this Project be placed on the City Council agenda
for your meeting on Tuesday, August 20th in order to receive the necessary approvals

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
August 16, 1996
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Ad ar
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Intern
SUBJECT. Planning Case No. 96-18: NSP
Back�round
The Planning Commissian conducted a public hearing on May 28, 1996, regarding NSP's
applicatian for Conditianai Use Pernuts far Essentiai Services and Rr�ning and a Variance
for a fence higher than 6' with barbed wire. NSP appeared before tfie Planning
Commission to present their plan to remave one of the three existing transfarmers from
the NSP substation near Mendakota Park. In additian, their plans include adding three
capacitar banks and a control house and excavating and replacing part of the fence around
the praperty.
Discussian
At the 7uly 2, 1996 meeting of the City Council, the Council discussed NSP's application
with its representatives and then voted to table discussion of the application to the Ju1y 16
meeting in order ta investigate the possibility of hiring an independent acoustical engineer.
Staffhas since hired Mr. Kroll of Kroll & Associates as an acausticat engineer per
Council's direction. Mr. Kroll has since proposed the following:
1. Partial enclosures around each of the two remaining transformers. Mr. Kroll
believes that most of the noise emitting fram the transforfners is radiating from the
corners. Mr. Kroll is thus propasing that all four corners of each transformer be
shielded by a multi-layered wall roughly 14' high and about 7 feet from the
transformer.
Mr. Kroll estimated that the cost of canstructing these walls could be abaut $2Q-$2S
per sqezare foat. NSP ihen estimated that at the low end these walts couid cost
$24,000 per transforrner to install, or a total of $48,000 for both transformers.
2. Poles under the three capacitars. Mr. Krall is proposing that all three capacitors be
supported by 8" diameter poles fiiied with graut. This shouid absorb the vibratian of
the capacitors and thus eliminate the noise these new structures wauld emit. This
structural improvement is nat anticipated to be e�ensive.
3. Band along the top of the Northeast Corner of the Fence. Mr. Kroll also proposed
adding about 2 feet of fiberglass material along the top of the northeast corner of the
fence to reduce noise traveling over the fence and rebounding offthe sheet piling.
Mr. Kroll also approves of the current plans to extend the west wall of the substation,
extend the berm and provide additional landscaping.• Mr. Krol� maintains, however, that
although these measures will provide additional visual screening, they will not do very
much to reduce noise. (Please note the Mr. Kroll regards the MPCA's noise guidelines to
be inadequate to protect the public from noise pollution.)
At the August 6, 1996 meeting of the City Council, NSP reiterated the following
commitments it had already made at previous meetings with the City:
The e�rtension of the west wall of the substation, as per plans on file in Planning
Case No. 96-18;
• The extension of the berm to the north of the substation, as per plans on file in
Planning Case No. 96-18;
• The addition of trees and landscaping, as per plans on file in Planning Case No. 96-
18;
NSP also made the following additional commitments to the City Council on the evening
of August 6, 1996.
• The addition of an eight foot high (wide) band of sound absorbing panels along the
upper edge of the northeast corner of the sheet piling wa11, as proposed by Mr.
William Kroll;
• The addition of the support structure under all three capacitors consisting of eight
inch (8") diameter pipes filled with grout as proposed by Mr. William Kroll.
Nevertheless, that same evening NSP and the City Council were unable to come to a
satisfactory agreement on noise attenuation measures for the two remaining transformers.
At the August 6, 1996 Council meeting, the Council authorized the additional payment of
up to $1000 to Mr. Kroll to quantify the noise attenuation effectiveness of his proposals.
Mr. Kroll has submitted a letter that further discusses the sound problem at the substation,
but does not quantify the effect that his proposed solutions would have. He will, however,
be in attendance at the August 20 City Council meeting.
At the same meeting the Council directed NSP to work with Mr. Kroll on further details
of construction and cost for all of his proposals. Council also directed Staff to investigate
the t� revenue attributable to the proposed improvements.
Since the August 6, 1996 City Council meeting correspondence between the City, NSP
and Mr. Kroll have led to the following developments:
- NSP's "broad-band" nroposal vs. Mr. Kroll's "narrow-band" nronosal
NSP has expressed skepticism about Mr. Kroll's proposed solutions, particularly
regarding the partial transformer enclosures, calling them "unique" and "unproven". NSP,
as a conservative company, prefers to use methods that have already been tested in the
field. NSP has thus proposed its own noise attenuation solution for the two remaining
transformers. NSP would like to choose one of the many available types of "kits" already
on the market that would consist of a wall completely surrounding each transformer. Like
Mr. Kroll's walls, these walls would be of a multi-layered construction. Mr. Kroll's
objection to NSP's counter-proposal centers mainly on the fact that NSP's proposed walls
are pre-designed for "broad-band" noise reduction (ranging along a large portion of the
audible frequency spectrum), whereas Mr. Kroll insists that what is needed are wa11s which
are specifically targeted to the two most prominent frequencies currently emitted by the
transformers (120 Hz and 800 Hz). NSP says it would prefer to use ready-made kits
because they estimate that they both would be cheaper than Mr. Kroll's proposal and are
considered "proven" technology.
Tax Increment Financing
NSP has also inquired about the possibility of paying for the transformer enclosures
through some type of tax-increment financing arrangement or tax rebate. NSP estimates
that it will be adding $17,000 per year to the City's tax revenue stream. Treasurer
Shaugnessy says that he can see no way that this Council can bind a future Council to give
back part of NSP's tax revenue short of a bond issue procedure or T� Increment
Contribution. NSP's land is within the Tax Increment Financing District but is not an
identified parcel for the collection of t� increment. (Please see letter from Mr. Joe
Mansur, NSP, dated 8/15/96 on tax revenues.)
NSP's Response
Sound Attenuation. Instead of Mr. Kroll's proposal for the transformers, NSP is
proposing a sound barrier adjacent to the north side of each transformer, covered with
a"broadband" sound absorbing material. This would be installed at NSP's expense in
addition to all previous commitments for landscaping berm extension made to date by
NSP, but would waive previous commitments to noise attenuation measures for the
capacitor banks and the addition of material on the north wa11. NSP expects a 8 dB(A)
noise reduction from the sound barrier at a cost of about $50,000 to NSP. (See letter
from NSP dated August 16.)
• Tag Revenue. NSP also itemizes its current and projected tax contributions to the
City of Mendota Heights, Dakota County, ISD 197, and Fiscal Disparity in the
�
attached letter dated August 15. NSP estimates an additional $17,134 per year of ta�c
revenue for the City of Mendota Heights from this development.
Please note that the 120-day review period for NSP's application will expire on
September 11, 1996. �
Recommendation
The Planning Commission, at their June 25 meeting, passed 5-0, (with Betlej and Friel
absent) a recommendation that the Council approve NSP's application for Conditional
Use Pernuts for Essential Services and Mining and a Variance allowing a fence higher than
6 feet with barbed wire under the following conditions:
1. that NSP provide copies to the City Council of their revised landscape plan showing
the extension of the west wall 60 feet, the planting of trees between the walkway and
the substation, the planting of Arborvitae on the east side, and the planting of trees on
the north side,
2. that NSP comply with the above landscape plan,
3. that if any damage be done to the e�sting landscaping it be replaced,
4. that NSP provide hard copies of the slide presented to the Planning Commission
featuring all sound levels recorded to the Council,
that NSP take the same noise measurements again 30 days after the project is
completed, and present these new levels to the Council within 30 days after they are
taken,
6, that if the above measurements indicate that noise in any direction has worsened in
either quality or volume, NSP present a remediation plan to the City,
7. and that NSP work out a satisfactory arrangement for maintenance of landscaping
NSP provides on pazk property.
Attached is a proposed Resolution based upon the commitments that NSP had made to
date. The City Council may wish to add language requiring noise attenuation for the two
remaining transformers.
Action Required
Review NSP's applicatian with their representatives, add any desired conditions, and then
if the Cauncil wishes ta enact ihe Planning Commissian's recommendation, pass a motion

Subjert: NSP- The Proposed AdditioK at the
Rogers Lake Substation - ACOUSTICS
Dear Sir:
Yesterday, Sheldon Silverman from NSP called me and delivered what to my senses v�s a
leagthy mild harangue about why NSP did not wish to spead money on my scheme for
trafo noise reduction. We use "trafo" here as an abhreviation of "trans£ormer."
He said that he had "called everyone in the Yellow Pages" to speak to them=abvut my
design. He went on to speak about prices for sound absorbing products and added that
one product salesman had offered broadbarid sound absorbing panels: a case of someone
being aware of acoustics hut not having an understanding of the subject matter. Nay, we
are dealing with the 120 Hertt fundamental at the trafos and some hannonics (overtones
to musicians} in the 800 Hz range. What is really needed is a narrow band absorbea to
work well at the frequencies of interest.
He went on, at considerable lengt� about why should NSP spend money on my
"unproven" desi�n. A fair bit of nitpicIdng, too.
I finally concluded, after all the loose tallS that the heazt of the matter is - as he said -"If
we spend money in Mendota Heights at the suhstat�on there,, any other communiry could
come and ask for like treatment and the PUC might not allow us a rate hike for those
noise reduction purpases." The preceding section may not have the exact words or word
order but that is what the mild harangue boiled down to.
The EckelSrm oat Fast is a leader in sound absorbing panels of the ldnd ihat I mentioned
at an earlier meefing where I set forth my scheme urith partial nois�biocking walls ax the
trafos.

Sheldon Silverman ca3led, as he said, everybody in the Yellow Pages to discuss my design
and related. costs. I asked what kind of a price he had gotten from Eckel. No, he had not
called the Eckel Sales rep, even after I had given him the name and telephone number -
poss�bly because the rep is not in th� Metro Area but upstate Muinesota.
Sheldon did, toward the end of our telecon, mention a lower cost, straight wrall by the
vafos.
Ixt us hark back to the matter of noise from th� tabe-added capacitors, of which none
are now in use at the subject sabstation. Civil Defense sirens are placcd atop towers - thc
higher the better for practical purposes - so that the sound can readily propagate over the
land to intended listeners.
The capacitors at the big Parkers Lak� substation are up on tall structures - that is, from
about t�velve foot on up to maybe thirty or so foot. VVe have - in discussion - the trafo
noise but a smalt handle to hang onto with respect to noise levels in the future, as from the
to-b�added in Mendota Heighu "hundreds af 80 MVAR Capacitors" in banks.
I ask that you consider having my small fum or anyone else legally and technically
quali5ed mak� some "benchmark" noise level measurements. NSP hides behind the
general purpose noise descriptor - the "A" kind of decibel which, as I have said on az least
two occasions at meetings on the subject, is hardly applicable to ciccuical noise.
Good it would be to: <-
A. By tape measurements from fixed poles, trees or the like - select and identify
sevenl Test Points.
B. At those Test Points - maybe three in ali - measure noise tevels in "A" decibels, the
I20 �-Ti and 800 Hz bands. Then, too, make an anatysis of sound pressure leveLs as a
function of frequency over the range of human hearing.
C. Make the measurements in keeping with good practice: no trouhling wind or
unusual other noise from temporary or special hagpenin�s in the area during test sessions.
D. Make measurernents toward suppertime on a day when the wind is such that
a.irpIanes will not be taking off on runways leading over the substation area.
E. Make a set ofineasurements after 2200 (10:40 o'clock p.m.) so as to have light
street �c and little, if any, air tra�ic. The need is to measure, to the extent possibl�
noise levels stemming from the Rogers Lake substation.
F. Pat NSP on notice that since there now are no capacitors at the substatio� the to-
be-added capacitor banks may well add to the neighborhood noise levels and, particularly
so, in discrete frequency bands.

G. NSP should agree to - for noise measurement pw�poses - switch the capacitor
banks in and out of the circuit for our convenience in our making the related tests.
Naturally, the tests only if complaints about noise warrant such a set of tesis.
For the case - after the new substation addition and c�anges are all in place and working -
of any increase by more than two deci�els in the 120 Hz and 840 HZ bands at any of the
Test Points, there would be cause to have NSP make the necessary noise reduction steps.
Likewise, for a two dec�bel increase in "A" decibels at any of the Test Poinis. 1 suppose
the MPCA noise limits may comc into question for this specific noise source.
Naturally, the tests would be made in keeping with good practice and the related noise
sources identi5ed as to stemming from the NSP substation or not. At t.hose Test Points,
one would also make several spectrum analyses "before" and then "after", looking for
prominent harmonics that mig,,. ht arise from th� "new" substation.
The other parts of the project as proposed by NSP (the taking out of one trafo, adding to
the wooden fence, mining and sheet piling) are aiready oa the table.
The fourth part - that of the to-b�added capacitor banks - has been taken up in only one
of two parts, to wit:
I have already recommended a fix for the capacitor bank structural framing - aluminum
pipe filled with grout and vibration damped sheetmetal parts and "quict type"
instrumentation trafos there at the bank. The preceding reckons with all expected.
capacitor bank framework etc. noises save for the noise stemming directly from the noises
generated by the actual capacitors themselves.
We must keep in mind that, at one time, NSP stated that the capacitors would not make
any naise. I said at the very first meeting already that some capacitors make noise and
some do not. With NSP staff present, I subjectively and objectively measured the increase
in noise level at the Parkers Lake substatian fence when the capacitor bar�cs were
switched in.
In short, Excuses and Criticisms: A form of stonewalling in an effort io avoid spending
money on what could become a precedent for other communities.
Very truly yaurs,

wa!(s that surpass the dimensions of the sound saurce would be effective for noise

!f a sound reduction treatment is to be utilized on #he existing transformers, NSP would
prefer a mare traditiona! approach af a sound bart�ier adjacen# #o the north side af each

Because of the wide v�riation in approaches available and because of mitigating
operational concems with each design, it would be better to deteemine a suitabie saund
reductian gaa! and cost e�ectatlon than to de#ermine a spec��c des�gn option a# this
time, This wil! ailow for the most cost e#Fective solutinn. Greater detail of the cost
figures used to develop these estimates and related information are at�ached,
You also expressed cancems with several items in our Ie#ter dated Acrgust 9, 1996.
Our condifion of quantifying the benefit of the reiaining wall treatment as in excess of
3dB at 12�Hz is basically a summar3r of much discuss'san canceming what the council
and Mr. Kroll have essentially adopted as °s�gnifcan#" sound. For instance, the 2-3dB
reduCtion.: from the removal af the #6 transformer was ct�arac#er�zed as not significant.
�urther discussion even suggested 5dB was barefy naticeable. Therefore, we
concluded #hat a"significa�t" sound change woufd be in excess of 3dB, iNe maintain
#ha# these #erms must be defned in measurable enginee�ng quanti#ies ta describe #he
beneflt or effect of praposed treatments.
You also asked tnat we clarify our schedule of imp�ementation of #he proposed sound
reduction treatments.
. The capacitor bank stand modificafions woutd be inciuded with the initial ins#a((ation
o# the capacitor banl�s and are expec#ed to be suppiied by the capacifor bank
manufacturer:
• The retaining wail tre�tment wi#F� sound absorbing panels (if uti(ized} would be
added subsequent to eiectrical ccrostruction and #o aiiow us to measure and quan#ify
the resuiting benefits. The expected electricat energization is by summer of 1997.
('iivs date is an jeopardy because of the delays in resolving the conditional use
permit issue.} Assuming we successfully ach�eve a summer in-service date, the
re#aining wai) #reatment would be accomplished in the fall ofi 999T. Although, post
wall treatment saund �eadings will be at a diffierent time of year than the pre-
treatmeni readings, we be(ieve the resu(ts wil( still be usefuL
• Should sound barriersJwalls near the transformers become part of the project, we
would propose to ccamplete this work before the summer fallowing (1998} e(ectrical
completion. Much of the work around the #ra�sformers would require we take an
outac�e of the transformer_ We would restri�# this outage to a time of year when
(oads are low such as the spring o� faI(. Some of the work (such as fou�dations)
may be compteted earlier if it improves the efficiency of constructian, Saund
readings could than be taken af the entire praJect #o validate #he overal! sour�d
reductions from our ubefore° reading taken this year:
Mr. Krol! and NSP bath agreed it wouEd be appropriate to do #he attenuatian
improvements last so that the noise attenua#ion benefi#s could be measur�d.
In regard to the proposed cost-sharing proposa! as a mea�s for the City to gain
additional sound redu�tion treatment, it is importani to NSP #hat #his be included so #hat
this precedent is set. Should other communiiies wish to gain additionaf community

benefits beyond i�at which are required by ordinance or normai practice, we wouid also
expect them to contribuie to the enhanced design. This shared responsibi(ity ensures
tha# only enhancements that are valuable ta the community are inctuded.
As stated in our previous letter and reiterated with you iast Tuesday, in wha#ever
canditions the City chooses to impose on our Condition�i Use Permii, we encourage
the City to onty be specific on design detaiis that are critical to #F�e performance the City
e�ects. Clther design issues shou(d be left up to the design #eam to achieve the mos#
cost-effeciive impiementafron.
WVe aiso assume the City will na# impose Mr. Kro11`s propased conditions unless Mr.
i�Croll, in writing, certifies ta ttteir noise aftenuation value by reference to some level or
range af dB's.

PR06LEM•
A transformer at the Puerta fi ico Water Resources Authority,
Santa Maria substation, Ponce, Puerto Rfco, is located jusc 25 feet
from a neighboring home, The proximity of the transformer result•
ed in complaints from the peopie living next to the substation be-
cause of the noise radiated by the trensformer.
A sound survey conducted by PRWRA confirmed that the notse
levels resultinq from the transformer operation exceeded the ambi•
ent naise levels in the area, From the data abtained the degree of
nolse control r�quired was ascertained. It was determined that the
difference between ihe ambient leve! and the operating substation
levef was zhe extent bywhich zhe operating Icvel should be reduced.
It is apparent this difference represents the maximum measurable
attenuation obtainable from a noise control installetion for a given
arnbient condition.
SOLUTION:
An 18 foot high iAC Noishield�Acoustic barrier arranged as shown
in the drawing, (Figure !} was selected as the most economical one
to provide the degree of noise corttrol required. The choice took
into consideration the faci that the high sound absorptlon tharac-
teristics of the noise barrier minimized reflected sound, a distinct
advantage over a barrier of masonry construction. This will be noted
by comparing che sound absorptive tharacteristics of Noishield
panets and masonry walls show� in Table i.
!t was also talcen into account that the Noishield barrier sllowed
quick instaUation and provides flexibility in erection or refocation
probably unobtainable in masonry watls. �rection was carried out
by mafnzenance personnel, anoiher advantage.
R ESU LTS:
Overall ambient �und pressure levels, together with levels measured
in ihe complaint area before and after installation of the barrier,
are shown in Table I I.
The noise reductions noted in Table !I indicate that after the bar-
rier was install�d, the sound levels at 2he neighboring home were
controlled no Ionger by the transformer but by the existing ambi- •
ent levels. Consequently, complaints concerning the substation
iransformer ceased.

How Sound-Absorbing Panels Reduce Plant Noise Levels �
Noise-FoiI7M Sound Abso�bing Modules are practical and effective for reducing high naise levels in industrial and commercial
facilities. Although providing little•noise reduction near noise sources, Noise-Foil will b�nefit workers further away.

Operators at a— not helped; personnel at b— benefit from reduced
noise levels as reilected sound is absorbed 'en route'. Risk of
hearing loss is reduced and speech intelligibility is improved. Noise
reduciion of 3 to 5 d8 is typical; as much as 8 to i0 d6 in highly
reverberant areas. .
IVoise-Foil Sound Absorption Panel Systems reduce reflected
noise and� provide acoustical conditloning for large and small
spaces. Can be attached to walls or suspended from ceiling.

Through our r�search of costs for the proposed enhancements to our projec#� we have
discavered wFfat we believe to be ti�e most cost effectrve altemative. As an aitemate to
aur proposa( dated August 9, 1996, NSP is willing to commit ta insta!ling a sound
absorbing barrier north of the exisfing #1 a�d #2 transformers as welt as installing the
previously defined landscaping at no additiona! cost ta the City. This proposa! does not
inciude changes to #he capacitor bank structure or the application of sound absorbing
material to the refaining wall and is conditioned on the City clari�ring #he conditions as
stated on the attaci�ment.
The benefits to the City are:
• AI! ai ihe proposed landscaping and sound attenuation treatments prev�ously
wc►rked out with iocal residents, #he Parks Commission and the Pianning
Commission,
• Additianal sound reduction from the exis#ing equipment that #he Mayor said has
been a source of imtation fo some tocal residen#s.
* No addi#ional cost to the Ci#y.
• No further discussion and/or litigation
The benefits to NSP are: ,
• Moving forward with our project and meeting the needs of our custamers and
system.
• Acceptable additionai cost.
• Less restriciive conditions for operation and maintenance than Mr. Krol#'s proposal.
• More proven technoiogy/design than Mr. Krall's propasal.
• Na further discussion andlor litigaiion.
The sound absorbing barrier would be added subsequen# to eiectricai construction to
allow us to measure and quantify the resufting benefits. The expected electrical
energizatio� is by summer of �1997. (Thls date is in jeapardy because of the detays in
resolving the conditional use permit issue.) Much of the work around the transformers
woutd require we take an au�age of the transformer. We wauld restrict fhis outage io a
time of year when loads are law such as the fall or spring. Assuming we successfuliy
act�ieve a sumrner in-service date, the bar�ier wauld be accamplished in #he fali of
1997. Although post wall treatment sound readings will be at a different time of yeac
than the pre-treatment readings, we bel�eve the resui#s wiii still be useful.

In anticipation of your acceptance of this compromise proposal, we have engaged The
Homer Company to prepare a design and cost proposai for a noise barrier utilizing a�
panel sucFt as the Moduline� Noishield Regular panel as described in the attached
catafog page from the Industria! Acoustics Company. We hope to have more specific
data (cost and calculated attenuation) available at the Augusf 20 meeting.
To assist you in rnoving forward with this proposal we have taken the liberty of
developing the conditions for granting our requested CUP. Most of the provision
remain the same as prepared by your Planning Commission with the inclusion of the
new proposed sound barrier and clar'�fcation of the rernediation condition.

Following is NSP's recommended conditions to be adopted by the Council on Planning
Case No. 96-18:
The Council approve NSP's application for Conditio�al Use Permits for Essential
Services and Mining and a Variance allowing a fence higher than 6 feet with barbed
wire under the foAowing conditions:
1. tF�at NSP comply with fheir landscape pfan showing ihe extension of the west wall
60 feet, the planting of trees between the walkway and substation, the planfing of ,
Arborvitae on the east side, and the planting of trees on the north side,
2. that If any damage be done to the existing landscaping it be rep(aced,
3. that, as the last phase of the project, NSP instal! a sound absorbing noise barrier
approximately 15 feet north of the existing #1 and #2 transformers and
approximately '120 feet long,
4. that NSP take the same noise measuremenis again 30 days after the project is
completed, and p�esent these new levels to the Council within 30 days after they
are taken,
5. that if #he above measurements indicate that the noise has worsened in volume at
any of the measuring points on the premises of Ivcal residents, NSP present a
remediation plan to the City,
6. that NSP work out a saiisfactory aRangement for maintenance of the landscaping
NSP provides on park property.

Dear Mr. Silberman:
v � � ,�-c�.c 5 � � � � � � i � — ti�
This letter is to acl�owledge receipt of your August 9, 19961etter and to pmvide clarification
on a few points made in your letter.
At the August 6, 1996 City Council meeting, NSP agreed to the following noise attenuation
�-� measures at the Rogers Lake Substation, to be listed as conditions of approval for a
Conditional Use Permit:
1.
2.
3.
The extension of the west wall, as per plans on file in Planning Case No. 96-18;
The extension of the berm to the north, as per plans on file ia Planning Case No. 96-
18;
1'he addition of tnees and landscaping, as per plans on file in Planning Case No. 96-18;
4. The addition of an eight foot high (wide) band of sound absorbing panels along the
upper edge of the northeast corner of the sheet piling wall, as pmposed by Mr. William
Kroll;
5. The addition of the support structure under all three capacitors consisting of eight inch
(8 ") diameter pipes filled with grout as pmposed by Mr.. William Kroll.
City Council also authorized of up to $1,000 for additional work by our acoustical engineering
consultant, Mr. William Kroll. Mr. Kroll is prepare a final report that quantifies the aoise
attenuation effectiveness of his pmposal, presented on August 6, 1996. NSP agreed to
determine design specifications and cost estimates for all the noise impact measures to which it
has committad, in consultation with Mr. Kroll if necessary.
In your letter of August 9, 1996, you mention that Item # 4 above "would be completed in the
year following the electrical in service date of the project to allow NSP to measure and
quantify effectiveness of �the this sound reduction technique." This was not part of the verbal

commitment made on August 6, 1996 at the Council meeting and I am assumiitg that City
Couucit considered this work to be completed at the time of consiniction of the pmposed NSP
improvements. •
Also regarding Item #4 above, your letter states that "The City will waive this candition if its
consultant does not pmjeat it will produce a sound reduction to at Ieast oae msident in excess
of 3dB at 120HZ. " Again, this was not part af the agre�ment arrived at an August 6, 1996 at
which time NSP committe�d to Item #4 above withont the condition of "sound reduction in
excess of 3dB at 120HZ to one or more m.sident." Our consultant will be submit6ng a report
on the effe�tiveness of his proposed noise atte�auation measures. City Council will make a
determinatzon at thatt time regarding the effa�iveness of this propased solution and its
necessity. �
Further, the City did nat agree to participate in any cost sharing far saund attenuation for
Tiansformers #i and #2 or agree to any scheme of #a7c rebates that would pay for the propased
paztial sound enclosures. This final item is still 6eing cons'rdered by City Council and by NSP
and it will be the main focas of consideration when this item is r�turned t;c► City Cowzcil. Ciry
Council, at the August 6, 1996 meeiing, directed staff to invest�igate the t�c benefits from the
propased NSP imgrovements and to x�eport tlus infonmation to them. City Council will.
consider this informaiion in respc�t to the proposed partial sound enclasures, however, it is
important to point out, tt�t at this clate in time, they have not committ�d �a any cost s�aring or
the funding af any praposed noise atGeauation methods.
We Iook forwanci to receiving your r�port on design aad cost e�timates for sound attenuafron
propos�ils at Rogers Lake Substatian. Please snbmit this information prior to noon, Thursday,
August I5, 1996 and please amange to have the appropriate representatives of NSP availabie to
discuss yaur report and answer qaestions at the City Council meeting an Tuesday, August, 20,

Following is our understanding with further clarification of the final compromise
proposal presented by NSP at the meeting of the Mendota Heights City Council on
August 6, 1996.
In an effort to improve conditions in the neighborhood of the Rogers Lake Substation
NSP will:
1. Add to the height of and lengthen the existing berm in the park near the
northwest corner of the substation; add plantings on the west, north and east
sides; and extend the wood wall on the west side approximately 60 feet to the
north per the plans previously given to the City Planning Commission. (The cost
is expected to be $65,000.)
2. Work with the capacitor bank manufacturer to modify the stand to utilize
materials and/or designs to minimize audible vibration as recommended by the
City's consultant. (This is based on an assumption that the cost will be in the
neighborhood of $10,000.)
3. Add a band of sound absorbing material to the top edge of the planned retaining
wall in the northeast corner in accordance�with the City's consultant's design.
(The cost is expected to be in the neighborhood of $10,000.) In an effort to learn
from this effort, work is to be completed in the year following the electrical in-
service date of the project to allow NSP to measure and quantify effectiveness of
this sound reduction technique. The City will waive this condition if its
consultant does not project it will produce a sound reduction to at least one
resident in excess of 3dB at 120HZ.
As an added option, NSP will install sound absorbing, partial walls at the corners of the
finro remaining transformers provided the City will participate in the cost thereof by
providing a rebate of the incremental tax benefit generated by the capacitor bank
project for a period of six years beginning in 1998. (The cost of these walls is expected
to be in the neighborhood of $165,000. The incremental tax benefit to the City is
estimated to be $17,000 per year.) In an effort to learn from this effort, work is to be
completed following the instatlation and testing of the retaining wall treatment (item 3
8/9/96 NSP FNLPROP.DOC
�� Mr. Kevin Batchelder �
page 2
above), unless installation is waived by the City, to allow NSP to measure and quantify
effectiveness of this unique sound reduction technique.
Since costs are of great importance to both the City and NSP and since the designs are
imprecise at this time, it is understood that following detailed design, should the
estimated costs significantly exceed those identified above, the City and NSP will work
out suitable modifications to keep costs in-line with expectations. �
NSP's application was continued to the City Council meeting on August 20, 1996, to
allow Mr. Kroll to further quantify the noise attenuation effectiveness of his proposal.
The foregoing varies from your proposal in regard to the sound absorbing panels on
the retaining wall and the support stand for the capacitor bank in that these treatments
have not yet been designed to the specificity you imply. NSP needs to retain more
flexibility.
We also wish to comment that your letter makes no reference to the partial walls
around the transformers and the City's contribution towards the cost.
Lastly, we also wish to caution that NSP has no commitment of engaging Mr. Kroll to do
the design work at NSP's cost.
NSP will contact you before noon on Thursday, August 15, 1996, and give you an
update on its estimates for the costs of these sound attenuation treatments. As stated
above, the estimates may change after detailed design.
Since Pat Cline will be unavailable next week, please contact me directly if you have
any questions.

Approval for payment far the easements was made upon several conditions, includiu�ng
adoptian and passage of a resolutian restricting development area, recording that this

Mayor Mertensotto stated he feels that the appraisal is top dollar
vaiue which does not take inta account that this is prabably not the
most desirable part of the developer's land for density. He fi.uther
stated that he has spoken to the city's appraiser, Blake Davis, and
asked if he thought it would be agpropriate, {if the city acquires the
easement azea at tb.e $1.8p per square foot value at which he
appraised the property� for the easement area to be deducted from
the total land azea for development sa that United Properties cannot
calculate the foatprint by saying fhat they own the land and include
it within their land azea calculation. He recommencied that
acquisitian be conditioned that the easement area be subEracted from
the land area owned by the developer as far as the potential
percentage development.

Subject: Consider Resolution No. 96-_, A RESOLLTTION TO 70IN THE
SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY
DISCUSSION �
The Suburban Rate Authority (SRA) is asking the City of Mendota Heights to join their
organization for the purpose of supporting the League of Minnesota Cities (I.MC) in their
efforts on the rights-of-way issues. The SRA is offering memberslup to those cities who have
contributed to the LMC's requested special assessment. The SRA's offer of inembership
waives their annual assessment and would be through the period of 7une 30, 1997 without any
continuing obligation. (Please see attached letter from Mr. Fred Hanus, Chair of the SRA
Executive Committee. ) ;
Mendota Heights contributed $500 to the LMC at the Council meeting on August 6,
1996. The SRA apparently feels that having more cities as "members" bolsters their ability to
have influence on the upcoming rights-of-way debates at the Legislature and in their efforts
with the Public Utilities Commission.
As proposed by the SRA, our membership would have no cost, or continuing obligation
of any kind. The membership would be good through 7une 30, 1997.

LAUDERDALE As you may know, the Suburban Rate Authority (SR.A) is a joint
LONGLAKE owers or anization consistin of 33 Twin Cities suburban
MAPLE PLAIN P g g
MAPLEWOOD cities. For over twenty years the SRA has been a voice for
MINNETONKA suburban overnments, residents and businesses before the
MINNESTRISTA g
NEW BRIGHTON Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) . In the big
NORTH ST. PAUL dollar world of ratemaking, it is fair to say that SR.A
ORONO
oSSEo successes have saved suburban ratepayers literally millions of
PLYMOUTH dollars in electric, gas and telephone rates over this period.
ROBBINSDALE
ROSEVILLE
SAVAGE We are entering an era of unprecedented change in the
ST. LOUIS PARK re ulation _ of utilit services, articularl in
SHAKOPEE g Y P Y
SHOREVIEW telecommunications and electricity. Every city must be
SPRING PARK vigilant in protecting its authority over the rights-of-way
WAY7ATA
WEST ST. PAUL and the health, safety and welfare of its residents . In
WOODBURY utility matters before the PUC and in the legislature it is
very difficult for cities to "go it alone". In turn, the SR.A
needs each of its members to speak with a voice that will be
heard by the PUC and the utility companies.
The SRA would like to offer your city membership in the SRA
throuah June 30, 1997 for no annual assessment or continuing
obligation of any kind. Upon your city's payment to the
League of Cities of the requested special assessment for the
upcoming legislative debate over right-of-way authority, the
SRA will accept your associate membership upon receipt of a
city council resolution (enclosed). At that time we can
discuss the Joint and Cooperative Agreement that sets forth
the terms of inembership.
The SRA supports the League in its efforts to ensure city
protection of rights-of-way and makes this offer with the
knowledge and endorsement of the League. The SR.A is a
separate organization, distinct from the League or ANIM. The
SRA was formed as a regulatory body itself prior to 1975, and
has been an active intervenor in electric, gas and
telecommunication matters since 1975.

This summary is intended to describe the histoiy, purposes and
accomplishments of the Suburban Rate Authority ("SRA").
The SRA is a joint,powers organization consisting of 33
suburban cities (list of cities attached) that actively intervenes
in matters affecting gas, electric, and telephone rates charged to
suburban residents and businesses. The material below attempts to
demonstrate the tangible savings achieved by the SRA. Though actual
dollar savings.are often difficult to calculate, the SRA has saved
residents and businesses of Twin City suburban communities millions
of dollars over the last 20 years. A conservative calculation
reflects a$200,000 per SRA member vote savings since 1975.
HISTORY AND PIIRPOSES
The SRA was organized in 1963, for the purpose of providing
collective strength in negotiating franchises with the Minneapolis
Gas Company, which served the original SRA members. In 1974, the
legislature adopted the Public Utilities Act to provide for state
regulation of gas and electric utilities, except for cooperative
electric associations and municipal utilities. SRA assisted the
state in setting up regulation and intervened in the early gas and
electric cases with the hope of providing leadership and direction
in utility regulation. Since that time, it has been active in
matters concerning gas, electric and telephone rate regulation and
in legislation concerning the Public Utilities Commission ("PUC").

RECENT INVOLVEMENT
1996 Model Wireless Communication Lease Acrreement. The SR.A
provided primary drafting contributions to a League of
Minnesota Cities Model Site Lease Agreement for PCSlcellular
communication antennas. This Model has been_distributed to
Minnesota cities for use in negotiation on site lease
agreements.�
1996 US West RiQht-of-Wav Challenqe. A significant legal challenge
to municipal authority over rights-of-way was brought by US
West to the' PUC and the district court. The SRA took an
active position in support of the League and the other cities
involved directly in the challenge. This issue will be the
subject of legislation in the 1997 Minnesota legislative
session. �
�
1996 Minneaasco Case. The SRA and the Department Public Service
successfully argued against a$1 million annual acquisition
adjustment (23 years of recovezy requested) Minnegasco sought
to reco��er from ratepayers for its acquisition of Midwest Gas .
In addition, the SRA criticized the allocation of Minnegasco
to residential customers and the Commission ultimately denied
Minnegasco's proposed change, saving residential customers
money. The residential basic service charge also remained at
the same level ($5 per month) as supported by the SRA.
1995 Updated Model Gas and Electric Utilitv Franchises. The SRA
and the League drafted model utility franchise ordinances.
The increasing deregulation in both the electric and gas
utility industries necessitated revisions to the previous
model franchise ordinances approved by the SRA.
1995 Minneqasco Fixed Residential Customer Charqe. The PUC denied
Minnegasco's request for an increase in the residential
customer f ixed monthly gas charge f rom $ 5 to $ 6 per month .
The SRA was the sole party to argue that Minnegasco must make
a greater showing to justify requested and intended increases
in the fixed, non-usage based monthly charge. The requested
increase was'made without a showing that statutorily required
conservation'policies would not be inhibited.
I
1995 Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance. The SRA prepared
and shared its Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance with
the League of Minnesota Cities. In collaboration, the SRA and
the League distributed the ordinance to all Minnesota cities.
The purpose'of the ordinance is to provide orderly police
power regulations over telecommunications companies in the
city. This ordinance will be reviewed in light of the 1996
Telecommunications Act and legal developments resulting from
it.
1993 Minneqasco and NSP Rate Cases-FAS 106. The SR.A played a
substantial role in one of the major issues to be raised
,n�siosi�� 2
SU160-3 i
before the Minnesota PUC in several years--FAS 106. A post
retirement medical health care benefits "transition
obligation" was sought by Minnegasco and NSP as a result of
the accounting standard known as FAS 106 which required a
change from cash basis to accrual accounting for such
_benefits. This change involves millions of dollars
(Minnegasco $24 million; NSP $160 million) to be borne
currently either by the util�ty shareholders or utility
ratepayers. The PUC originally voted in May 1993 to disallow
one-half of Minnegasco's transition obligation, but ultimately
reversed its decision and allowed those expenses. These
expenses will be spread out over a twenty year period in
rates. This issue is an example of the millions of dollars at
stake in utility rates the SRA fights to limit for ratepayers.
1992 US West Telephone Rate Savinqs. As of November 1, 1992,
residential and business telephone rates for US West Twin City
local calling area became equal by class of service throughout
the metropolitan area. This PUC action eliminated the tiered
telephone rates that was in existence since 1980. The US West
Tier System charged higher rates for residential and business
customers living in the suburban areas. In 1984 the SRA
achieved a reduction of one half of the tier ratios. This
elimination of the Tier System is a direct result of SRA's
intervention and arguments against differentiating telephone
rates by geographic location.
1992 Municipal Pumpinct Rate Savincrs. Together with the City of St.
Paul and the Municipal Pump.ers Association, SRA efforts have
consistently maintained pumpinQ class rates at 2-3� below
qeneral service class and have continued the municipal pumping
exemption from the eleven-month demand ratchet rate imposed on
commercial-industrial users. The SR.A's expert consultant has
estimated that avoiding the eleven-month demand ratchet charge
alone saves 7.5-10� in annual municipal pumping charges paid
to NSP.
1991 NSP General Rate Filina. The SRA actively intervened in this
NSP filing, wherein the PUC rejected NSP's $120,000,000 rate
increase request. The SRA focused on the municipal pumpers'
rate and street lighting. The SRA is traditionally the only
intervenor seeking reduced increases in the municipal pumping
rate and has seen consistent success in that effort.
1990 US West Incentive ReQulation Plan. We actively intervened in
the case involving US West's request to be partially
deregulated in its local service to residential and business
customers. The final order established stable rates for Twin
City local telephone customers of US West through August of
1994. US West will share 50� of its revenues above a 13.5�
return on equity.
JMS105177
SU160-3 3
E
1987 Northwestern Bell Extended Area Service Docket. The SRA made
significant progress in demonstrating cost in equities in the
Twin City Metropolitan Area Northwestern Bell service area.
SRA participation in this case helped lay the ground work for
the order ab�andoning the Tier System.
�
1986 Redeliberation on Northwestern Bell Cases. The 5RA obtained
very substantial reductions in the Tier System ratios. These
- changes resulted in very significant savings in telephone
rates for most SRA business and residential users prior to the
elimination of this rate design in 1992.
1985 Rate Structure Task Force. The SRA was active in the
formulation of funding proposals for the Combined Sewer
Overflow ("CSO") projects in the Cities of Minneapolis, St.
Paul and South St. Paul. SRA involvement may have limited the
pass-through'of these costs to member communities.
1985 Northern States Power General Rate Case. The SRA "pioneered"
an issue as to fossil fuel inventory. The SRA also helped
maintain the municipal pumping rate, and defended prior SRA
accomplishments as to accounting practices. Vezy substantial
savings were'realized through SR.A intervention. This case was
appealed to the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court
and the SRA'(alone) participated with MPUC in successfully
defending MPUC's action.
ESTIMATED DOLLAR SAVINGS FROM SRA EFFORTS
These are rough calculations made with the assistance of legal
counsel and SRA expert consultants. In an effort to be able to
contrast savings with assessments, the calculations are made on a
per SR.A member vote basis (5,000 of population). They attempt to
distinguish savings resulting primarily from SRA efforts and
savings that likely would have resulted anyway due to positions
taken by state agencies.
1975 NSP. SRA's retained expert estimated $18 to $20 per
household. Using 3.4 persons per household, this would be
approximately $26,500 per vote. The figure does not include
business savings.
1977 NSP. There is no estimate of dollar savings in the file.
The 1975 principles were defended successfully. It is thus
reasonable to state that the $26,500 per vote continued from
1975 and onward. To be conservative, use five years of
$132,000 per vote for NSP electric through 1980.
1982 Northwestern Bell. The SRA commenced its attack on the
Tier System. In 1984, the SRA won a significant victory
reducing by S0� the tier ratios imposed by Bell. Northwestern
Bell has estimated a shift away from suburban communities of
about $2 million to $3 million per year as a result of SRA
JMS105177
SU160-3

intervention in the three Bell rate cases through the 1980's.
Using $2 million per year and the assumption that SRA
represents approximately half of the suburban businesses and
households (this has not been calculated, it is just an
estimate), the savings is about $6500 per vote per year. Over
the seven years, since this change became effective, this is
$45,500 per vote.
1985 NSP. Our consultant estimated savings due solely to SRA
intervention at about $8 per household per year. Over the two
years the rate was in effect, this is a savings of about
$23,500 per vote.
1987 NSP. Estimated savings from the fuel issue is' $1, 600 per
vote per year.
Uniform Franchises. The gas and electric uniform franchises
were negotiated in the 1980's at a cost of approximately $40
per vote. Attorney and staff costs for doing it individually
might easily have been ten times that, a savings of $1260 per
member or $3b0 per vote.
1992 NSP. As mentioned above, the savings per SRA member is
about 2-3� per year for municipal pumping rates and 7.5-10� in
avoiding ratchet demand.
1992 US West. The savings from elimination of the Tier System
to tier 2 and 3 SRA residents and businesses is approximately
$1 million per year and counting.
1996 Minneqasco. Collective savings to SRA residents from SRA
efforts in the 1996 Minnegasco case is approximately $300,000
per year.
Summary. A conservative estimate of dollar savinqs to SR.A
members because of SRA activities, directly and indirectly,
over the years since 1975 is well over $200,000 per vote and
countinQ. A case could be made for multiples of this figure.

The following is a brief summary intended for the city cauncils of Suburl�an Rate Authority ("SRA"} rnember
cities. It highlights the major activities and achievements af the SRA during i994. The SRA •is a joint
pawers association of 32 Twin Cides suburban municipalides that monitors rates and rate design issues of
electric, gas, teiephone utilities and Metrapctlitan Council Wastewa#er Services. The $RA was very active
and successful in several far-reaching issues affecting mennber city ratepayers and Minnesota cities generally.
Telecommunications Le�islation
In the fall of 1994, the SRA Board authorized counsel to participate in legislative issues affecting cides
reiating to the altemative telephone regulation biii (Iocal service de-regulatian} then expected ta be offered
in the 1995 legisla6ve session. The SRA assisted the lobbying efforts of the League of Minnesota Cities in
two important issues relating to that tegislation: ciarifying and braadening the potice power of cities in the
new compedtive environment far a local telephone service and addressing cities rights to compensadon far
telecommunications utility use af pablic gragerty. As af the date of this report, those SRA supported issues
have been incarporated into the bill which passed out of both the Senate and House Committees and is being
debated in the legislature at the time of ihis Review. T'he Depamnent of Pnblic Service will l�e authorized
by this bill to issue a comprehensive report by February 1S, 1996 recommending a unifarm state policy on
franchise fees �or use oP public pmperty by utilities. Currently no telecommunications compariies to gay
franchise fees ta Minnesota cities and the law is unclear regarding the rights of cities to require fees aver and
above regulatory cost. The SRA advocated a clarification on this issue and actively assisted in� the inclusion
of this study, in lieu of the right ta require franchise fees in the current bill. The SRA will be activeIy
invalved in ths DPS study if this bill passes.
Model Telecommunications Pernut Ordinance
The SRA atsp drafted a model telecommunieations permit ordinance to establish unifo�n requirements
regarding impt�rtant issues to cities in the new compedtive telecommunicarions environrnent: permit fees,
location and relacatian requirements, repair requirements, performance bonds, Gopher State One information
and other prc�visians. The tetephane deregulation bill Ianguage broadening city police pawer wautd further
ensure the enforceability of these telecommunicarions perrnit ordinances. The Minnesata League of Cities
has requested that the model permit ordinance be used as a basis for the League's modei ordinance for
distribution to its members,
Minne�asco 1994 Rate Case
The SRA wan a significant victory for residential ratepayers served by Minnegasco in limiting
increases in the fixed customer service charge Minnegasca sought. In 1993 Minnegasco won a 67% increase
(from $3 to $5) in a fixed non-usage based customer charge for its residential custarners. Tfiis increase was
augnented by the etimination af a credit for gas usage. In the i994 filing, Minnegasco saught again to
inerease its $5 charge to $6, stating that it intended to continue these increases in subsequent rate filings.
The SRA was the sole party to criticize this increase as cantrary to canservat�on gaais established by the
legislatur� and otherwise wnsupparted by evidence in the record. The DPS supported the increase. The PUC
agreed with the SRA and denied Minnegasco's increase, citing conservation concems and Iack of customer
acceptance. This PUC decision has ramifications for both gas and electric utilities and places a greater burden
on the utilities in future rate filings to justify an increase in non-usage based charges.

The following is a brief summary intended for the city councils of Suburban Rate Authority {"SRA"} member
CIhBS. It highiights fihe major activities and achievements of the SRA during 1995. The SRA is a joint
powers association of 32 Twin Cities saburban municipalities that monitors rates and rate design issues aP
etectric, gas and telecommunications utilities. 1995 and i99b have been extrernely ac6ve and successful years
for the SRA. ' �.
Model Telecommunications Permit Ordinance
The SRA drafted a model telecommunications permit ordinance in conjunction with the League af Minnesota
Cities to establish uniform requirements �garding important issues to cities in the new competitive
telecommunications environrnent: permit pracedure and fees, locadon and relocation requirernents, repair
requirements, performance bonds. indemnity and ather pmvisions. i`he recently-enacted Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996 includes important and debated language regarding cides' right to manage
and z�ceive cc�mgensation for �use of the right of-way. The SRAJLeague Model Ordinance pre-dates the Act
but establishes many of the vital protection cities need when telecommunicarions carriers seek to expand
wittun ihe City and expressly� preserves rights to franchising or leasin�.
' Minne�asco 1995 Rate Case
The SRA actively intervened on behalf of ratepayers in Minnegasco's 1995 petition for a$24.3 rnillion rate
increase and a 1,7�o requested increase far residentiai customers. The SRA, thripugh its expert wiiness,
Robert Towers of Chesapeake Regulatory Consultants, has challenged a$1 million annual claimed ratepayer
expense resulting from Minnegasco's purchase of the Midwest Gas system. The SRA atso argues that
Minnegasco exaggerates the revenue deficiency created by the residential customer class rates and has not
shown a justification for an increase in the fixed monthly residential custamer charge. The ALJ adop(ed the
SRA arguments challenging the $1 million Midwest Gas acquisition adjustment that, if accepteci by the PUC,
will save SRA residents and busirtesses approximatetv $215,OOQ annualiv. The PUC will decide on the
petition during the summer of 1996.
Model Gas and Electric Franchise Ordinances
Again in partnership with the League of Minnesota Cities, the SRA updaied iis unifarm gas and electric utility
franchises to assist its member cities in negotiating new franchises. Of particular interest to cities in today's
changing fiscal environment is the right to charge franchise fees. In addition, electric utilities are likely to
be deregutated within the next decade. Terms and conditions of franchises become increasingly important
to those utilities when-they perceive that franchise terms may affect competition.
'i Electric Industry Deregulation
The SRA. intervened in a Iong-term investigation and review by the PUC of the electric utiiity industry. The
PUC will be making a r�ecommendation regarding if and when electric service should be deregulated for retail
customers. The SRA has oppased utitity campany suggestions shat emi�ent domain rights be equalized
between cities and investor-awned utilities and that fianchise rights be diminished. The SRA will cantinue
to manitor the pmceedings.
Customer Service Task Force
The 5RA was invited to participate on a task fprce far the PUC on custamer liability and service issues. The
task force addressed issues on notice to customers, liability of innacent residenfi.ial customers for past unpaid
debts of pdor customers living at the new �sidence and dispute resolution procedures.

Ta assist in the 1997 SRA Budget review pracess, the foilowing is information describing Ehe types
of issues the SRA is currently addressing and those in which we believe the SRA will be involved to protect
residential, business, and city govemment ratepayers of SRA members. Given the quantity of important
issues, it is passible that the SRA will be required to focus only on two of thr�e of these issues to stay within
its budget constraints. These matters are in addidon to the General budget item that usually carries the largest
comgonent of any SRA annual budget. The General categary includes quarterly meetings, member and non-
member communications and on-going identification of new issues that may arise.
1. CITY RIGHTS-(JF-WAY CQNTROL AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS. On
February 23, 1996, LTS West fiIed a petidon with the PUG requesting an order limiting city rights ta contral
the rights-of way. This petition seeks broad PUC authority and limits on cities. The SRA has intervened
and will be working closely with the League of Ciries and ather interested public badies to protect city
authority to controi and receive compensation for utitity use of the public right-of-way. This issue wiil Iikely
came before the 19�7 legislature for comprehensive review and possible new law. The SRA and a11
Minnesota cities shauid regard this matter as vitally important.
2. MINNEGASCO GAS RATE INCREASES. The SRA has been successful in the
administrative hearing portian of the 1995 Minnegasco rate increase petition advaca�ng no recavery from
ratepayers for Minnegasca"s acquisitian premium for the Midwest Gas assets. Minnegasco has been very
aggressive in the 1990s in seeking rate increases and the SRA is one of the few non-state agency parties to
vigarously contest several af the more signi�cant recovery requests. The SRA wiil condnue to seek the
lowest passible rates for SRA residents and businesses.
3. CTTY WATER TOWER LEASES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS. The
Telecomrnunieatians Act of 1996 has spawned numemus applicatians for wireless communication antennae
on city water tower sites. The SRA has been very active in coordinating a League of Cities sponsored work
group to establish a model site lease agreement for use by cities. Each lease will be influenced by the many
mazket considerations such as tease payments, termination rights, interference issues and other matters. This
gmup effort will greatly assist cities in their negotiations with cellular, PCS and other wireless communica-
tions applicants.
4. ELEG"TRIC INDUSTRY DEREGULATION. The PUC is conducting an angoing
investigation into the deregulatian of the electric utiiity industry. At issue for retail ratepayers will be the
opporiunities and burdens that will result when customers are able to purchase pawer from providers other
than the franchised-pravider in tiie service area. Cities also wi11 be affected greatly as Iarge customers with
sigmificant purchasing clout and as being farced to deal with potential negative consequences if certain
reszdentiat customers are unable to benefit from de-regulation.
