areas should be on a response to request bagis and that

]: ['tcr' Margo 4.,.
John Gibbs did not believe that their law firm could provide a
legal opinion but suggested that the commission send a request to
Michael J. Hoover, Director of Lawyer's Professional Responsiblity.
Director Weiss questioned whether this would really be a problem,
in regards to the commission, because only two cities were served by
the firm.
Director Henderson replied that he was the person who questioned
this, but after reading and hearing their response he is satisified by
their answers.
Mr. Bob Sachs of Continental Cablevision stated that the record
should be clear regarding O'Neill, Burke, and O'Neill in reference to

fined). He also questioned the appearance of impropriety.

from the Board on file just to assure that the commission is covered
from some future problem.

ding the representation by O'Neill, Burke, and O'Neill law firm of Rite
Cable Company, Ltd. in cable franchising matters before the Northern

its continuing representation of the cities of Mendota and Lilydale,

The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Park and Recreation Commission
was called to order at 7:30 o'clock P.M. by Chairperson Stein. Members present

MINUTES
VACANT LOT IN Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Maple, Jr., 2166 Timmy Street, said that the
CURLEY'S vacant lot at the corner of Timmy and Cullen in Curley's Addition
ADDITION has become a problem to the homeowners next to it. Originally intended
as an access to Rogers Lake, the lot has attracted unwanted vehicles
and debris. The bike trail that ends at the lot brings unwanted
bicycle traffic across private properties.
Public Works Director Danielson reported on this lot during the
joint Park/Council meeting, making unnecessary the commission's
decision to investigate the matter. He advised the Park Commission
to sell the land for development, while retaining an easement for a
bike/hiking trail. He will work out costs and engineering feasibility.
VALLEY PARK Stein said that he received a call from a Minneapolis woman who was
PROPERTY interested in buying a lot to build on in the southwest corner of
Valley Park. The commission agreed not to negotiate to that end.
JOINT The City Council and staff joined the Park Commission at 8:00 P.M. for
MEETING a joint discussion. Present were Mayor Lockwood, Councilmembers Hlesener,
Hartmann, Mertensotto and Witt. Also present were City Administrator
Frazell, Financial Advisor Shaughnessy and Public Works Director Danielson.
Stein introduced the subject of a bond issue for the purpose of land
acquisition and bike trails.
Shaughnessy presented an estimated figure of $1,105,000 for the two
proposed properties and the backbone trail system. This would mean that
a resident with a home valued between $120,000 and $133,000 (average
home value in Mendota Heights) would pay between $41.91 and $48.27
annually on a 20 year bond issue.
Considerable discussion centered on the best way to approach buying
of land presently not on the market. Frazell and'Lockwood will set up
an appointment with Eileen Kennedy (formerly Wachtler) to talk about the
Wachtler property. The superintendent of District #197 will be asked to
reaffirm the City's first right of refusal on the school property.
It was agreed that a survey to find out how residents feel about additional
park land and bike trails needed to be done. Witt said she felt that a
phone questionnaire would be sufficient.
Park Minutes, April 10, 1984 Page Two
Looking ahead, Mertensotto said that a referendum should not be part of a
General election. He said it would have a better chance in a primary or special
election. Costs on conducting a referendum were distributed, as well as maps of th%
properties and park bond projections.
`The estimate for a proposed bond issue does not include improvements or equipment.
Blesener felt the bond issue should include partial development of both properties.
Da'iblson will estimate full br%d,partial deVelopme,nt of the properties.
It was pointed out that the properties being discussed for acquisition have been
designated for years as park land in the Comprehensive Plan. Further action on a
bond issue will wait on response from the property owners. The City Newsletter will
keep residents informed of developments in this area.
The properties being discussed will be two stops on a proposed bus tour for
the City Council, staff and Park Commission, tentatively set for Saturday, May 19th.
MISCELLANEOUS The next meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission will be May 8th,
at 7:30 P.M.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Commission, the
meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,

LOT SPLIT subdivision of Lot 8, Block 3, Guadalupe Heights. Mrs. Simmons,
987 Chippewa Avenue, was present for the hearing, and her attorney,
William Hassing, was also present, as was Mr. Chester Boike.
Mr. Boike owns all of Lot 7, and the south half of Lot 8, and desires
to purchase the north half of Lot 8 from Mrs. Simmons. Mrs. Simmons
would still own all of Lots 9 - 13, Block 3.
The Commission members had no questions. Planner Dahlgren, in his
memo to the Commission, suggested that Lots 9, 10, and 11, be
combined into two 90 foot lots, rather than leave them as three
60 foot lots. Mrs. Simmons indicated that she is not interested in
this at the present time, as she has no interest in selling them.
There were no persons present in the audience for the hearing.

CASE #82-18, request from 1982, regarding Lot 4, Block 4, Delaware Crossing, or
MN/FSL, VARIANCE 682 Ocala Lane. The problem was that an overhanging house eave
from Lot 4, Block 4, encroached onto a portion of Lot 5.
Commissioner Burke noted that Planner Dahlgren's memo and drawing
did not reflect the correct lot, and that it should be corrected.
There was a brief discussion as to an item in the Code Enforcement
Officer's report dated April 19, 1984, regarding the corner of the
garage being 8.05 feet from the lot line, when 10 feet is required.
Mr. Brent Baskfield, owner of Lot 5, had signed an Easement Agreement
covering the encroachment of the eaves constructed on the roof of
the open porch area, dated March 16, 1984.

require a drainage easement on the northwesterly portion of the
new lot created.

requirement and to recommend approval of a simple subdivision, sub-
ject to the City obtaining a drainage easement for storm sewer and -
receipt of a $600 park contribution.
Ridder seconded the motion.

NORTHLAND LAND was present to explain his request for fill removal, grading, and
COMPANY, CUP gas line relocation involving Lots 2 - 6, Block 6, Mendota Heights
FOR MINING Business Park. He noted that United Properties proposes to purchase
a portion of land from Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company,
that the land is in Eagan, and is requesting the City Council to annex
that small portion of land into Mendota Heights. He also noted that
sand and granular material will be removed from the site, and hauled
off-site and that a 26 inch gas line is proposed to be relocated.
He outlined the order of events leading to the completion of grading

from Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company in Eagan would be
done first and completed by August 15, 1984.

as shown on his Exhibit B would start around mid-August and be finished
by September 15, 1984.
3. Removal of the material over the existing gas line and completion
of grading, including seeding, to the elevation shown on Exhibit B
would be completed by September 1, 1985.
4. Erosion control measures would be applied by the general grading
contractor during the course of construction as required by the City.
He also noted that the grading contractor will be required to post a
bond for any damages to streets, curbs, utilities, property, etc.
Mr. Burkhards advised the Commission that Northland Land Company and
Northwestern Mutual Life were the only names listed on the Abstractor's
Certificate and asked permission for the Planning Commission to waive
the public hearing requirement.
After a brief discussion reqarding hearing requirements, Ridder moved
to recommend approval of the conditional use permit as requested and
to waive the public hearing requirement by the Planning Commission,
noting that the Council should conduct a public hearing at the May
15th City Council meeting, and if there are any problems, to refer
the case back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing on May
22nd.
Frank seconded the motion.

Dear Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to explain the violation of setback
restrictions on Lot 4 Block 4 , Delaware Crossing, commonly
called 682 Ocala Lane, Men-ota Heights, Minnesota. This
home was originally constructed by August Construction. August
Construction at the time was a joint venture partner of Minnesota
FSL Corporation responsible for platting, construction, code
compliance etc. This joint venture relationship was severed in
May, 1981 and Minnesota FSL Corporation proceeded to market all
the model homes in the development. The setback violation was
not known to us until the property was sold and closed.
We request a variance of setback restriction violations.
Very truly yours,
Robert A. McKinstry
Assistant Secretary
Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 1972 Page Four
who definitely did not want to see Wachtler extended.
Mr. Gene Schway, representing Pat 3 Golf'Course, asked Mr.
Gryc why he would choose to put a road in along the south side
of his home, along the golf course property. Mr. Gryc said he
had more room on that side, but he could put a road in on either
side of his home.
After further discussion, Butler moved to recommend approval of
the preliminary plat of EverGreen Knolls, without constructing
Wachtler Road from Wentworth to Bachelor. Morson seconded the
motion. Morson noted that Wachtler would not be open from north
to south, but a westerly exit from the development would need to
be found by the developer. Voting: 2 ayes, Butler and Morson.
5 nays, Kruse, Stefani, Burke, Blesener, and Frank. The motion
failed to pass.
Blesener made a motion to continue the public hearing to the next
monthly meeting and that the developer come back with a drawing
showing a westerly exit for this development. Morson seconded
the motion.
Stefani added a friendly amendment, noting that if Wachtler is
eliminated in the new drawings, some provisions must be made for
the future development of Par 3. Blesener accepted the amendment.
Voting: all ayes.

to remain over the property line of Brent Baskfield's lot at
687 Decorah Lane.
Mr. Tom Balyk and Mr. Robert McKinstry, representing Mn/FSL
were present, noting that they had given Mr. Baskfield an easement
for the porch location. The Commission members asked Mr. Baskfield
if he was agreeable to the easement and he responded that he had
just received the easement a few minutes earlier and had not had
time to look it over.
Planner Dahlgren recommended that the Planning Commission do nothing
on the variance request until the matter between Mn/FSL and Mr.
Baskfield is resolved.

SUBJECT: Case No. 82-18, Variance request for 682 Ocala Lane
DISCUSSION
Mr. Robert McKinstry of Mn%FSL, has contacted staff in regard to proceed
with their variance request for 682 Ocala Lane. Planning Commission may recall
Mr. Tom Balyk and Mr. McKinstry representing Mn/FSL were present at the Planning
Commission meeting on September 28, 1982. (Case #82-18 Mn FSL variance) noting
that they had given Mr. Brent Baskfield an easement for the setback encroachments.
Note: Mr. Baskfield's property which is south of 682 Ocala Lane is affected by
the setback encroachments.
The variances required are as listed:
1. The covered porch is 2.4 feet from the property line. 10 feet required.
2. The eaves on the covered porch perpendicular to the south lot line is
3.98 inches over the property line. Eaves may extend 1.5 feet into

Brent Baskfield
Northwest Corner of Decorah Lane and
Ocala Lane
Variance to Fence Height on Rear Lot Line
Special Use Permit for Fence Height on
Side Yard (Contiguous to Street)
1. Mr. Baskfield has purchased this residence recently from Minnesota Federal
who have taken over the residential properties developed by August
Construction Company in the Delaware Crossings project. He proposes to.
construct a wrought iron fence, five feet in height, with one -half-inch
square iron pickets placed six inches on center. The detail of this
fence is illustrated on the site plan submitted by Mr. Baskfield, of which
each of you has a copy. The rear yard of this property is contiguous to
the side lot of the residential property to the north. Under these
conditions, Section 4.8(2)c, the Ordinance states that a fence along this
rear line may be only 30 inches high on that part of the fence line
within thirty feet of the public right-of-way ( Ocala Lane). He intends
to build the fence five feet high along -this rear property line and extend
it southerly along the public right-of-way (east property line) to a point
in line with the front of his house_(fronting on Decorah Lane). The fence
would then extend from this point westerly to the southeast corner of his
house. This proposed fence location is indicated on the site plan.
2. Section 4.8 (2)a, requires that any fence within thirty feet of a side
street may be a maximum of 30 inches high. Relief from this requirement
requires a Special Use Permit.
3. Attached is a letter from Mr. Baskfield dated 11 June 1982 addressed to
the Mendota Heights Planning Commission indicating the reasons for his
request. '
Obviously, Mr. Baskfield is concerned with the close proximity of the home
that was misplaced in construction that is contiguous to his rear lot line,
trespassing, and possible damage to his property, and the location for a
future swimming pool. The problems of trespassing may have been somewhat
influenced by the fact that _Mr. Baskfield, as you may have heard in recent
news accounts, is the spokesman for Northwest Airlines. He indicates that
during the recent strike he has had a greater than usual problems with
malicious damage. That risk, of course, may well not be permanent, at
least due to those circumstances.

Approval of Variance to Side Yard Setback
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
1. This case was first heard at the Planning Commission at its July
meeting of 1982. Attached is a copy of the report prepared at that
time.
2. =The case was continued pending preparation and acceptance of an
easement from'the Brent Baskfields and Lance Mobergs. It is the
Mobergs home that has its eaves over the property line of the
Baskfield's lot.
3. Attached is a -copy of an easement that has been agreed upon between
these two parties. Under these conditions, it would seem like the only
appropriate action at this time would be to approve the variance based
on the hardship that the home is already constructed, and would be
extremely expensive to move the home back the appropriate distance. As
long as the two property owners involved are satisfied, it would appear
that the general public interest is not greatly affected.
®rm
CASE NUMBER: 82-10
APPLICANT: Brent Baskfield Page 2
4. The existance of the nearness of the contiguous home, plus the utilities
and drainage arrangements in his rear yard, obviously create some unusual
conditions, particularly with respect to the location of a swimming pool.
.The Public 'Works Director will comment regarding these engineering
considerations.
5. Part of the problem with respect to the replacement of the pool is that
the Ordinance requires that a pool to be constructed at least ten feet
from the house. This is to prevent possible drainage problems with respect
to pool leakage, and is a restriction normally adhered to.
6. One of the reasons for requiring the lower fence height on a corner lot
is so as to maintain traffic visibility at the intersection. Section 4.7
of the Ordinance deails with traffic visibility and requires that no
structure or planting exceed 36 inches high that would adversely affect
such visibility on the corner. This"distance is normally construed to be
a triangle drawn at a 45 degree angle to the streets at a point 30 feet
perpendicular distance from either street. Thus, if a structure is placed
30 feet from each street, such a triangle will not•be infringed upon by
the structure. Such a triangle drawn -on this site -would appear to require
that the fence along Pontiac Place be moved approximately 18 feet to the
north. This would. have the effect of moving the pool 18 feet north
which would appear to be possible without conflicting with the drainage or
easements in the rear yard. We feel that this is an important consideration
inasmuch as it deals directly with the public safety. _Though the applicant
proposes to build a fence that can be seen through, if the pool is placed
only four feet from the side property line, it is likely that such a fence
will ultimately be screened to provide privacy either with shrubbery or other
material.
7. Mr. Baskfield proposes a five foot high fence because it is the minimum
requirement required for enclosing a pool in a yard. Another adjustment
that •might be considered is that of reducing the height of the fence at the
northeast corner of the property, but enclosing the pool at a point further
south with the required five foot fence. You will notice that in Mr.
Baskfield's drawing, that there is such a fence running east and west from
the northeast corner of his house. The fence may be built five feet high
in all locations except 30 feet from Pontiac Street. Thus, if a lower
fence is proposed within that 30 feet (for which the variance is being
requested) this would alleviate the condition of a high fence next to the
front yard on the property to the north.
8. It would appear that the case for locating a pool on the property has merit
in being partially in the side yard inasmuch as the rear yard is
encumbered with engineering concerns. It would appear from the drawing,
however, that the pool could be moved further to the north, thereby
occupying less of the side yard contiguous to the house, and providing for
the traffic visiblity, which is one of the principal reasons for the
reduced fence height in the 30 foot area contiguous to the street right-
of-way.
CASE NUMBER: 82-10
APPLICANT: Brent Baskfield
Page 3
9. Our Engineering Department has checked out the nature of the utilities
that run through the back yard and report that it is an underground
electrical service and underground telephon service. Unless serving the
aaskf efd• res Bence- oirly,r„these: utilities should-.have-lseen, placed',,in-,,the,
easement along the north property line. The drainage,swale, Mr:
Danielson reports, does exist running through the back yard, whereas it
too should have been constructed within the drainage easement along the
north property line. It would, however, be difficult to change this
drainage condition at this time inasmuch as drainage from the continguous
property to the east also runs through this swale. Thus, regrading of
at least two lots would be necessary to reroute the drainage along the
north property line. This is also complicated by the fact that the
residence on the contiguous lot to the north was misplaced, and is closer
to the rear lot line of Mr. Backfield's lot than allowed by Ordinance
(10 feet) .
10. We have met with the Minnesota Federal people who have indicated their
intent to apply for a variance with respect to this reduced side yard
setback.
11. In summary, it would appear that Mr. Baskfield has a case due to the
physical conditions of the land. It would appear reasonable in our
opinion, however, to consider moving the proposed fence and pool further
north along the side of the hoose. In other words, a portion of the
rear yard could be used for the pool site, allowing for the movement of
the pool away from the front yard setback a distance of ten to 15 feet.
The variance, if approved, should be with the condition that no shrubbery
or solid ence shall impede the required corner lot sight lines. This may
happen in t e uture anyway because o t e need or privacy of this pool
placed so close to the public street, the movement of the pool and fence
further north would mitigate the impact of such a future visual obstruction.

A public hearing has been called for Tuesday to consider the Simmons
lot split. It appears to staff that her request to rejoin a previously
split lot and make it a whole lot again is a reasonable request. No new
principal structure could be built on the lot because one already exists
on it. Therefore no park dedication will be required.

PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. If you look at the attached plat map you will see lots labeled 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, and 13. Mrs: Simmons owns the north half of Lot 8 and the
others to the north through Lot 13.. Mr. and Mrs. Boike own Lot 7 and
the south half of Lot 8. Their house is indicated on the plat map and
labeled 1000. All of the lots were originally platted at 60 feet. Over
the years most of the homes in this 'area have developed on a lot and a
half making a 90 foot lot. Some of the lots in the area are 120 feet
(two lots).
2. Mrs. Simmons proposes to sell the north 30 feet (one-half) of Lot 8 to
® Mr. and Mrs. Boike, thus producing a 120 foot lot for the Boikes. Mrs.
Simmons will then own the remaining Lots 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
Obviously, the enlargement of the &pike°s lot from 90 feet to 120 feet
is in accordance with City Ordinances and would appear to represent no
problem in and of itself.
3. The only condition we might want to be aware of here for the future is
whether or not Mrs. Simmons would propose to sell the remaining lots as
is with 60 feet of frontage for Lots 9, 10, and 11. 'We would think
that such small lots in this area would be inappropriate. It would
appear appropriate, however, to divide those three lots into two lots
creating two 90 foot lots which would be similar to what has been
happening in the area in general. Lots 12 and 13 could then be sold as
a single lot, which would in effect leave three building sites
remaining for Mrs. Simmons land. We suggest that the Planning
Commission and ouncil may wish to discuss this with Mrs. Simmons and
perhaps add a condition to the lot division as proposed that the
remaining lots be sold with a minimum of - e -et of frontage.

SUBJECT: Case No. 84-02, Anderson, Lot Split
Charlotte Anderson has made application to split a large platted lot
in the Bauer's Acres Lots subdivision. There is adequate area and frontage
to allow this split. Therefore, this application would be an "exception"
from the City's Subdivision Ordinance, and could be processed without a
public hearing. It should be pointed out to the applicant that a creek
runs near the north boundary of the lot and at such time as a building
permit is applied for, a wetlands permit will also need to be processed.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the public hearing be waived (subject to receipt of
the $600 park contribution) and the lot split be granted.

PLANNING REPORT
DATE:
24 April 1984
CASE NUMBER: 84-02
11
APPLICANT: Charlotte G. Anderson
LOCATION: North of Ivy Falls Avenue, East of
Sylvandale Road
ACTION REQUESTED: Division of a Lot
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Mrs. Anderson owns 340 feet of frontage on the north side of Ivy Falls
Avenue on -which she has a home located approximately on the easterly
half of the property. The property has a depth of 149 feet. The
property is a corner lot having been created back in the late 60s when
Ivy Falls Second Addition was platted with Sylvandale Road being
:
contiguous to the west side of the property. At that time Ivy Falls
Avenue was extended to Sylvandale Road.
2. At this time she proposes to divide the westerly 140 feet to be sold as
a single family lot. Inasmuch as the minimum lot requirements in the
City are 100 feet of.frontage and 15,000 square feet of area, obviously
each of the two lots involved here far exceed those minimums.
3. The street, sewer, and water are available as a result of previous
construction and public improvement projects.
4. The Wetlands Systems Map of the City indicates that there is a drainage
way that,passes through the northwesterly corner of this property.
Thus, at:such time as a building is to be constructed on the property,
it may be necessary to process a Wetlands Development Permit on the new
lot to be sold for development. We have suggested to Mrs. Anderson
that she might want to make the new lot larger than 140 feet inasmuch
as the remaining lot will be substantially larger at 200 feet. The
Commissibn may want to discuss this with her at the meeting. Moving
the lot line slightly further east would make it easier to develop a
home on the site in view of the wetlands regulations which require a
home site to be 100 feet from the drainageway if possible. We will
bring a large topographical map to the Planning Commission meeting so
that the Commission can be more accurately aware of the exact location
of the drainageway as it will affect the future development of this
property.

MEMO
/�C��April 19, 1984
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator
FROM: Orvil J. Johnson
SUBJECT: Water System Status Report
INTRODUCTION
The St. Paul Water contract agreement with Mendota Heights expired in
September, 1982. Water service has continued, and probably will continue in
the same manner as provided in the contract. St. Paul.Water officials pre-
sented a new proposed contract agreement to Mendota Heights staff on February
10, 1984.
St. Paul Water officials also presented a similar agreement to Maplewood
and also plan to propose the same to West St. Paul. It may be of interest to
know that St. Paul Water services all three municipalities on a retail basis,
and does not have a current signed agreement with any of them. St. Paul
Water does, however, have signed agreements with Roseville and Little Canada,
providing them with water at a wholesale rate through master metering points.
Mendota Heights staff have been reviewing the pros and cons of renewing
the old agreement versus proposing the establishment of a Mendota Heights
Water System. This implies buying water at wholesale rates from St. Paul,
through one or two metering points, and operating the system as another
enterprise operation. The "known" way would be to accept the new proposed
agreement which is very similar to the former agreement. At this date,
Maplewood is still attempting to negotiate major concessions from St. Paul
Water, and West St. Paul is reviewing the proposed agreement.
The preliminary data projected for a Mendota Heights Water System looks
good. We have obtained comparative information from Roseville and Little
Canada and have every reason to believe that Mendota Heights water users would
benefit from a locally operated system.
This status report is presented for two reasons:
1. To provide data and information concerning local water system
operation.
2. To support and justify some additional engineering study prior to
making a final decision.
DETAIL
The idea of buying wholesale from St. Paul Water has been discussed with
their staff. They have provided a list of considerations, but have stopped
short of setting a price for existing water meters or discussing the cost of
water at wholesale rates. Some of the major considerations are:
- 2 -
1. Contract to provide for 24 hour delivery at two metering points,
unless an off-peak delivery scheme is agreed upon.
2. Mendota Heights to provide some amount of peak storage for peak
demand.
3. Mendota, Heights to own and maintain all meters, both customer's
me{ter`s' 'land master -meters. This- includes .testing 'the Imaster meters
for accuracy at Mendota Heights' expense, and buying the existing
customer meters.
4. St. Paul Water to get growth data and projections.
5. State Board of Health requires sampling.
6. Wholesale rate to be negotiated (much data needed on raw water costs,
plus pumping costs in St. Paul).
In addition to the above St. Paul Water related considerations, others include:
7. Determine the level of expertise and amount of labor needed to operate
and maintain the Mendota Heights water distribution system.
8. Determine amount of equipment and maintenance supplies needed.
9. Establish meter reading and billing sequence.
10. Determine: a) Location of master meter points.
b) Cost estimate for master meter installations.
11. Issue bonds to provide funds for:
a) Master meter installations.
b) Acquisition of existing customer meters.
c) Acquisition of equipment and supplies.
d) Any other start-up costs. -n
Mendota Heights staff have addressed most of the foregoing considerations.
Operating data from Roseville and Little Canada have been reviewed by Jim and Ed.
Larry and I have used financial data from Roseville and Little Canada to assist
in making similar projections for Mendota Heights. Larry has prepared an
"Anticipated Expense Maintenance and Report: for a Mendota Heights Water System
(see Exhibit A). You will note that he has anticipated one new certified
person at a gross cost of $40,000. Other labor costs bring projected personnel
services to $61,000. Maintenance costs project to approximately $24,000. The lower
two entries reflect capital costs. All add up to approximately $117,000. -
Assuming that Mendota Heights would have bought wholesale in 1983, and had
the benefit of the Roseville wholesale rate, the water bill would have been
$262,300.
- 3 -
System operating costs then are: $117,000
262,300
$379,300
Compare to St. Paul's total 1983 water sales of $387,300, plus receiving $7,800
from Mendota Heights for hydrant rental and maintenance. In other words, there
is some $15,000 to $16,000 spread between St. Paul's retail revenues and a pro-
jected Mendota Heights operation. This excess or margin is premised on:
1. 1983 projections only. As the system and load grows, the margin
should grow.
2. Very tenuous figures on cost of master meters.
3. Virtually no "hydraulic" information on the independent operation of
a Mendota Heights system which would depend on limited feed points
in St. Paul and West St. Paul.
COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. The margin should grow. If Little Canada can operate a water system
with some 900 connections, Mendota Heights should be able to operate a system
with 2255 customer connections. The real benefit of operation would show up
• as the system and load grow.
2. Capital costs for the master meter installations were virtually "pulled
out of the air." Roseville and Little Canada costs were not comparable; hence
no good cost data for this part of the projection. It is suggested that more
engineering time and expertise be spent to more accurately predict costs.
3. We have made the assumption that of our seven water connections, five
can be closed, and that only two metering points will be sufficient. (See
Exhibit B). Big ASSUMPTION! The St. Paul West Side distribution system, and
the West St. Paul distribution system need to be studied to see if two feed
points are sufficient. Maybe only the 16 inch feeder on Thompson Avenue is
sufficient, but can the Mendota Heights customers, the St.Paul customers and the
West St. Paul customers afford to be isolated if our system is fed at only one
point?
There are many hydraulic and some practical questions that should be answered
before we proceed with further plans.
SEH Engineering have been informed of our operating plans and projections.
We have given them the gist of the system characteristics, and requested them to
submit a proposal. Their proposal is attached for your consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize SEH to collect additional data, prepare alternates and cost data
for a maximum of $9,500. Funds are available in the Water Revenue Fund. I plan
to attend the Council meeting.

Gentlemen:
RE: MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN
WATER SYSTEM
P.C. #1343-72
This is our proposal for a study of the engineering factors
involved in converting the Mendota Heights Water System from
a St. Paul retail customer to a St. Paul wholesale customer.
This proposal is the result of a meeting on April 4, 1984,
at the Mendota Heights City Hall between Kevin Frazell and
Orville Johnson of Mendota Heights and Duane Elliott and
Wilbur Liebenow of Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, Inc.
We propose the following Work Plan to accomplish this study:
I. GATHER DATA
We will gather existing reports, studies, maps and
other data which is available from the City of Mendota
Heights, West St. Paul and St. Paul, that will be
useful in this study. We will also meet with and
discuss this study with Elmer Huset, retired manager
of the St. Paul Water Department.
II. ANALYZE DATA
The data gathered will be analyzed to determine that
sufficient data is available to complete this study.
III. PROJECT DEMAND
The future water demand for Mendota Heights will be
determined based on past records and land use planning
studies.
IV. DISCUSS WITH ST. PAUL WATER DEPARTMENT
We will meet with the St. Paul Water Department to
discuss various ways of satisfying the required demand
of Mendota Heights as a wholesale customer of St.
Paul.

V. ALTERNATIVES FOR SUPPLYING THE PROJECTED DEMAND
The alternative ways of supplying the Mendota Heights
demand will be reviewed in this part of the study.
The optimum number of connections will be studied as
well as the economics of off-peak delivery.
VI. COST ESTIMATES
Cost Estimates of feasible alternatives will be
prepared.
VII. RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the study of the alternatives and the cost
estimates, an alternative will be recommended. The
recommended alternative will consider reliability as
well as economics.
VIII. REPORT
The results of our study will be presented in a bound
report with supporting data as necessary to provide
the City Council and staff with the information needed
to make the final decision.
We propose to do the study on an hourly basis at salary cost
times a multiplier. The study cost will not exceed $9,500.
We will consider this proposal a contract between us when
you return one signed copy of this proposal to us.

City Administrator
April 26, 1984
SUBJECT: Public Works 1984/1985 Labor Contract
At the last Council meeting, Council authorized staff to negotiate changes
in the labor contract which would permit the implementation of an amended summer work
schedule for the public works crew. We are meeting with union representatives at
10:00 A.M., Friday, April 27th to work out those details. Assuming that we can
reach agreement, as I am confident we%can, it is the intention of the Business
Agent to present the contract offer to the employees on Friday afternoon.
Assuming that the employees ratify the contract on the afternoon of the 27th,
I will have the new contract written and prepared for consideration at the meeting
of May 1st. It will be handed out with the add-on agenda. Since you will not
have an opportunity to review the contract in detail prior to the meeting, I
will take a few moments at the meeting to go through the changes with you.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
April 26, 1984
FROM: Kevin D. Frazell
City Administrator
SUBJECT: Resolution Concerning Independent Management of the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission
Attached is a memo from the attorneys of the Suburban Rate Authority,
urging our consideration of a resolution to endorse the idea of an independent
management study of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. I believe
that the memo from the SRA attorneys, as well as the letter from the Boland
Commission, adequately describes the issue; therefore I will not elaborate.
RECOMMENDATION
Although Mendota Heights has not been active in the Suburban Rate Authority
for the past couple of years, I wholeheartedly concur that the concerns about
the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission deserve the close scrutiny and attention
of every local government in this metropolitan area. Therefore, I would recommend
that Council adopt the suggested resolution, so that it can be forwarded to the
appropriate parties.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with the recommendation, it should pass a motion adopting
the resolution supporting independent management study of the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission.

TO: SRA Communities
FROM: SRA Attorneys
At the meeting of the SRA board last week, there was extended
discussion about the progress, or lack of progress, in
implementing' the recommendations of the Boland Commission
concerning the operations of the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission. The Boland Commission, as you recall, was appointed
by Governor Perpich to study the MWCC because there seemed to be
so much concern about the efficiency and cost effectiveness of
its operations. The Commission, after some weeks of study, made
a series of recommendations. Extracts from the Commission
report, including their fourteen major recommendations, are
attached hereto.
After the Boland Commission report was released it was discussed
by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the
Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Area Managers Association,
the SRA and others. A consensus developed that there should be
legislation which would change the manner in which MWCC
commissioners are selected as well as certain other things
related to the MWCC and the Metropolitan Council. It was also
agreed that some of the recommendations of the Boland Commission
could be dealt with through an independent management study which
would not, itself, require legislation.
It now appears that the legislation was not introduced because of
a decision made within the Governor's office. The question
remains as to whether the independent management study will go
forward. There is some indication that there is resistance to
having a study which is independent.` It is feared, by those who
have been advocating an independent study, that if any study is
undertaken at all, it will be done under the control of the MWCC
itself.
With .this in mind, the board of directors of the SRA directed us
to prepare a resolution for consideration by the councils of SRA
members. The resolution seeks to emphasize the importance of the
management study and of making certain that it is an independent
study.
The resolution is being submitted to you upon the recommendation
of the SRA board. If it is adopted by your community, the SRA
suggests that copies of it be transmitted to the parties listed
"in the concluding paragraph of the resolution.

Dear Governor Perpich:
We are presenting you with this report to complete our charge
to investigate, in the broadest fashion possible, the Metro-
politan Waste Control Commission. Our recommendations cover
those areas needing immediate attention, help control and
contain costs in the future, and deserve attention for their
new approaches to solving the probelms of how best to treat
waste in the next 20 years.
Specific recommendations focus on involving the public through
changes in structure, and on reducing cost increases through
management improvements and by bringing compensation and con-
tracting into compliance with state policies, procedures and
programs.
With the growing importance of water and waste treatment, we
suggest investigating the possible creation of a new industry
in this state. Alternative methods for processing wastes could
improve Minnesota's business climate and focus attention on
Minnesota's professional resources - the Freshwater Biological
Institute and its proposed Waste Management Institute, the
University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences and
Humphrey Institute - that are in place and already effectively
working with private industry to look at waste -processing

alternatives and alternatives to management in the public
sector so that public -funded operations can operate more
efficiently. These assets, as pointed out in our report, could
promote Minnesota as a better place to live and as a state with
a strong interest in maintaining the high quality of its most
important natural resources, water and air.
Some of our specific recommendations involve opening up the
decision-making process and encouraging more public input. We
conclude that the newspaper articles encouraged us, given your
broad charge, to recommend changes within the MWCC and with
respect to its relationships with other governmental agencies,
and especially with the public.
The most important area of concern we considered is the
compelling, never-ending need to make the MWCC responsive to
its users. We ask you to request legislative action and to
implement changes through your office to change this situation
as quickly as possible., The damage to the public confidence in
this agency has been compounded by rapidly increasing costs and
the possibility of a substantial subsidy to meet rising sewer
charges to lower-income homeowners in the future. As industry
continues its withdrawal from the system and the population in
this area drops or'changes from families to single and retired
persons, the burden of sewer costs on individual taxpayers", I will
continually become heavier. I
We believe our recommendations set out ways you and other
public officials can reverse this situation. The best way to
start may well be by assembling a new team dedicated to
involving and serving the public.
We appreciate the help and assistance received from your office
and MWCC staff and commissioners, past and present. The public
and public officials assisted us greatly in their testimony and
in preparing many of the reports we have included in our
Appendices.
Finally, we appreciate the opportunity to review this important
agency whose operations affect the health of everyone of us
We believe our recommendations will ensure the MWCC becomes--

RESOLUTION NO. 84 -
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING
INDEPENDENT MANAGEMENT STUDY OF
METROPOLITAN WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION
WHEREAS, many municipal officials, businessmen and other persons throughout
the metropolitan area have. expressed grave concern about the operations of
the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, and
WHEREAS, in recognition of such concerns, Governor Rudy Perpich commendably
appointed an able and representative Governor's Citizens Commission to
review the MWCC, and
WHEREAS, such commission conducted an extensive investigation of the oper-
ations of the MWCC and of public perceptions of it, and
WHEREAS, such commission, on December 29, 1983, reported its findings and
recommendations to the Governor of the State of Minnesota, and
WHEREAS, such recommendations included a recommendation for the conduct
of an independent management study of MWCC, and
® WHEREAS, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the Association
of Metropolitan Area Managers, the Suburban Rate Authority, and others
concurred in the recommendation that such an independent management study
be conducted, and
WHEREAS, it appears that the state planning office has undertaken initial
steps toward obtaing such an independent study, and
WHEREAS, the aforesaid organizations have expressed -their interest in pro-
viding representation on a committee which would help to formulate the
work program for such study, to monitor its progress and to evaluate its
conclusions, and
WHEREAS, it is critical to the credibility and acceptability,of any such
management study that it be an independent study, rather than a study done
under the supervision and control of the MWCC, and
WHEREAS, such commission recommended a number of measures requiring, legis-
lative action, but it now appears that the Governor's office has chosen not
to support any such legislative action at thi.s time, and
WHEREAS, the compromising or abandoning of the concept of an independent
management study, especially when coupled with a lack of legislative action,
would constitute a severely damaging blow to the hopes and expectations of
those who have been working in good faith to establish a higher level of
confidence in the MWCC,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota
Heights, Minnesota, as follows:
1. This Council strongly endorses and urges the conduct of an
independent management study of the MWCC as recommended by the Governor's
Citizens Commission to review the MWCC.
2. This Council believes that such study will have maximum value
only if it is an independent study formulated and conducted through the
use of an advisory committee broadly representative of the municipalities
in the metropolitan area.
3. This Council urges the Governor of the State of Minnesota and
other appropriate officials to take whatever actions may be necessary
to initiate such an independent study at the earliest possible date.
4. Let a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor
of the State of Minnesota, the chairman and members of the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission, the chairman and members of the Metropolitan
Council and the members of the Minnesota State Legislature representing
this city.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 1st day
of May, 1984.

Bike Trail
Job No. 8418
Mrs. Maple is a resident abutting the Curley's Addition trail
construction that was approved at the last Council meeting. She is
for the trail construction but is opposed to the lot sale, therefore
she has asked to be placed on this agenda in order to try and persuade
Council to change their minds and retain the lot for park purposes.
Her suggestion is that we put the trail down the center of the lot
and plant the rest of the lot with dense evergreens. I have received
two other calls asking about the extension of the Mn/DOT trail and
when I explained the existing proposal to them they expressed that they
were not opposed to the lot sale. Staff continues to feel that the
previously approved plan is the best solution.
Mr. Anderson, the other abutting property owner, was concerned
about the quality of a home that would be built on the lot. I would
therefore suggest that the City retain as a condition of the sale of
the lot the right of revi.ew and approval of house plans.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the previous.ly adopted plan be followed.

Attention: Mr. Jim Danielson
Subject: Bike Trail to Rogers Lake via Curly Addition Lot 10
Dear Mr. Danielson:
Thank you for the copy of the proposed layout for the bike trail through
Lot 10. My corm-ents are:
1. Layout looks good. It maximizes area of lot for other
uses.
2. I an sure the Maple's (Lot 9) would appreciate some sort of
fence to protect their property from trespassers.
3. I would prefer the lot be maintained as part of Mendota
Heights park system. As you know, Curley`s Addition is
fairly isolated. It would be nice to have at least one
internal "open area". However, this lot would have to be
maintained. Primarily this would involve just mowing on a
regular basis.
4. Without a regular maintenance program, this lot will revert
back to a local dumping ground. Should this be the case, I
would prefer the lot be sold for a single family residence.
5. It is my understanding that the City of Mendota Heights will
incorporate restrictive convenants should the sale of this lot
became necessary. These covenants will bar such items as
factory built homes, floor plans less than 2,000 square feet
and the like.
Vincen
I

L
TO: Mayor, City Council and City A inistrator
FROM: Edward F. Kishel
City Engineer
SUBJECT: Water System
Pressure Reducing Valves
Job No. 8241
BACKGROUND:
Because of water hammer problems in the Industrial Park area, the
City along with the St. Paul Water Utility installed a pressure reducing
valve and appurtenances. This work was done about a year ago, to re-
duce the City water pressure to levels which would prevent the accidental
operation of fire sprinkler systems in that area due to excessive water
pressures developed by the sudden closing of equipment valves at Minnesota
Knitting Mills.
In correcting this situation, it caused another problem. It seems
that by reducing the -pressure, existing sprinkler systems were found not
to function as designed with the result that proper fire protection was
not available.
DISCUSSION:
Because of a lack of protection to existing sprinklered facilities,
owners protested and a staff decision was reached to discontinue the use
of the City pressure reducing valve and to require Minnesota Knitting
Mills to install individual equipment reducing valves to solve their
water harmer problem, thus rendering the City's equipment unnecessary.
ALTERNATIVE:
Because of the above decision, St. Paul Water Utility agreed to
purchase said equipment from Mendota Heights at the Utility's.earliest
convenience when a need for the equipment became available. Said need
has now presented itself and the attached letter from Tom Mogren indicates
that they will purchase the equipment at our cost. The Water Utility has
also agreed to provide all necessary labor, equipment and materials to
remove the valves and to place the City water system in operation as it
was prior to the installation of pressure reducing equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council approve of Mr. Mogren's request to
purchase the valves at a total cost of $3,880.00 (actual cost to Mendota
Heights).
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council wishes to implement staff recommendation it should pass
a motion accepting St. Paul Water Utility's offer.

Re: Pressure Reducing Valves
at Elevated Storage Tank
Dear Jim:
W. J. MEUWISSEN
pt, of Water'Distribution
ROGER A. MOHROR
Supt. of Water Supply
APS t"
Due to fire protection needs in your industrial park area, we
understand there is no longer a need for the City of Mendota Heights to
have the above mentioned valves in service. The Water Utility is
currently in the process of improving its distribution system and
requires a 12" pressure reducing valve for one of its projects. The
valve presently at the elevated storage tank matches the Utility's valve
requirements. Therefore, the Water Utility desires to purchase the
existing 12" Golden Anderson Pressure Reducing Valve assembly, including
the 2" by-pass, from the City of Mendota Heights, for the sum of
$3,880.00.
JMG/kjl
Very ruly yours,

4TH FLOOR CITY HALL ANNEX - ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
April 27, 1984
FROM: Kevin D. Frazell
City Administrator
SUBJECT: Appointment of Fire Department Officers
As was described in a lengthy memo submitted with the April -17th agenda
packet, the City has now gone through most of the steps of the process outlined
for the selection of new fire department officers. As reported in that memo,
Mr. William Lerbs is recommended by the selection committee for the position of
Chief, and Mr. John Maczko for the position of Assistant Chief.
Making those appointments at the April 17th meeting was deleted from the
agenda, since we did not )at that time have a letter of resignation from current
Chief, Mr. LeRoy Noack. Rather, the Council held a meeting with Mr. Noack at
the end of the regular Council session, to discuss his impending resignation.
At that meeting, Mr. Noack indicated that his resignation would be forthcoming
in the following week.
At the writing of this memo, and at the time we are sending out the Council
agenda packets, we still have not received that letter of resignation. Mayor
Lockwood intends to contact Mr. Noack during the weekend, to see whether the
resignation is forthcoming.
Since we do not have the resignation at this time, and do not know whether
we will have it by Tuesday evening's meeting, I will not elaborate further about
the appointment of the officers. However, on Tuesday evening, I will be prepared
with a recommendation for appropriate Council action, both if we have Chief
Noack's letter of resignation, or if we do not.
Respectfull submitted,
Kevin D. Frazell
City Administrator
