Dear Mayor & Council:
SEP 12 1984
Once again, I am requesting favorable consideration from the
City to approve $250.00 for the Halloween Bonfire, to be
held on October 31, 1984 from 7:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. This
is the 11th year that we have had this event, and hope to
continue it for many years.
Last year you authorized $250.00 and we spent $223.00. We
will again try our best to stay within the money alloted to
US.
I would be glad to coordinate this with the City Staff, as I
have in the past.
Thanks again, for your favorable consideration.
Very truly yours,

City of Mendota Heights Planning Commission
750 South Plaza Drive
Mendota Heights, Mn: 55120
Dear Planning Commission Members,
^The intent of this letter is to express my opposition to granting Melvin Koppen
" '.'a�variance of the 5ft. setback ordinance so he may construct a storage shed on
our adjoining property line. It is my firm opinion that this construction would
unfairly detract from the value and appearance of my property and would tend to
make my narrow lot, 60ft. x 120ft., appear even more so. Additionally, this pro-
posed construction would be located in my front yard within 20ft. of the front
door and would house construction materials (cement mixer -staging -lumber etc.)
that Mr. Koppen keeps for use in his private stucco business that he conducts
from home. Mr. Koppen has admitted that these materials are unsightly and intends
to house them in the shed which will be large enough to house a pick-up truck.
For these and other reasons I feel that granting a variance of the 5ft. setback
ordinance, which is intended to protect property owners from being crowded, would
be unjustified and detrimental to my interests.
It is also important to note that Mr. Koppen commenced construction of the stor-
age shed without obtaining a building permit or notifying me of his intentions.
Consequently, I feel Mr. Koppen started out in bad faith and hoped to take ad-
vantage of my ignorance of the zoning ordinances and profit from our hidden loca-
tion on a wooded dead end road to serve his own needs as a contractor.
Mendota Heights, and our neighboorhood in particular, is a lovely residential
area. It is one reason we decided to purchase our first home here 3 months ago.
Living next door to a private contractor who stores his construction materials
at home in a residential neighborhood is one thing. But when that same neighbor,
who already has a number of existing storage sheds on his very large property
decideds to obtain a variance to build another large one outside your front door,
you wonder where it will stop and if Mendota Heights is a lovely residential
community after all.
Respectfully Submitted,
&6w �-W IAJ� A�:�7

CASE #84-15 Chairman Kruse called the meeting to order for the purpose
Conditional Use of a public hearing on.an application by Mn/DOT, Dis-
Permit for Acces- trict 9 for a Conditional Use Permit for a 100' X 30'
sory Structure, accessory structure to be located at their maintenance
Mn/DOT building at 2229 Pilot Knob Road.
Dick Hathaway made a presentation on the proposed facil-
ity using topographic and contour maps of the site. He
stated the shed was for salt storage and summer storage
of salt sand. He said there would be an outside salt/
sand storage pile at the site for six months of the year
(October -April). He also described a retention pond
that was recently added to the plan to prevent salt
water from leaving the site.
Morson asked what will happen to the other site drainage
currently going through the retention area.
1
Hathaway stated that they will berm the retention pond.
He also stated that they have existing maintenance fa-
cilities with similar salt amounts at Hastings, Lak
ville, Maplewood, Stillwater, etc. without retentio._
ponds and haven't had problems with any of those asso-
ciated with salt damage yet.
Howard Dahlgren stated that construction of the reten-
tion pond will eliminate existing trees and shrubs in
the area. Hathway stated that they weren't worth saving
and Morson agreed.
Frank said he was worried about the view of this salt
activity from Trunk Highway 13. Hathaway said that
there was only a short space where there would be an
opportunity for a view and even there the building and
sand pile would not be silouetted because of the high
_ - grades to the east.

Kruse felt there should be a condition requiring screen-
ing along the south and west boundary. He also felt the
building should be a dark color.

are more of an eye sore than this proposed salt shed
will be.
Chairman Kruse noted that there was no public to be
heard from.
Commissioner Frank moved to close the hearing. Henning
seconded the motion.
Morson moved to recommend approval of the Conditional
Use Permit conditioned upon:

Variance and answered questions concerning the proposed $300,000+
Wetlands Permit home he is building for Frank Mulaney at 1190 Sylvandale
Road.

Avenue should be screened. Marich stated that he would
have no problem with that and it would be done.
Kruse stated that he wanted the homeowner alerted to
the fact that he was by a creek and there is a potential
for drainage problems no matter what precautions and
that the City would not be responsible for them.
Howard Dahlgren pointed out that according to Zoning
Ordinance 4.6(4)c, Mr. Marich would need only a 12 foot

CITY OF IMEINDOTA HEIGHTS
SEP 0 6 1984
The Mendota Interchange project schedule has been changed since our previous
letter, dated March 15, 1984, to City Engineer Edward Kishel.
The schedule changes are as follows.
Stage 1
The TH 55 and TH 110 interchange and common section, including bridges over
railroad east of Mendota Bridge and TH 110 storm sewer. From March 1986 to
March 1988.
Stage 2
The mainlines and frontage roads of TH 55 and TH 110, including two bridges:
WB TH 55 over EB TH 110 and CSAH 31 over TH 55. From January 1987 to January
1989.
State 3
New TH 13, relocated TH 13, the Mendota Connection, and CSAH 31., From January
1989 to Post 1989.
These delays in the proposed lettings were necessary because the transfer of
motor vehicle excise taxes to the highway fund passed by the legislature was
not as rapid as had been anticipated; therefore, at this time, there is not
adequate funding to begin this project as proposed in the previous -schedule.
Please contact this office if there are further questions.
Sincerely,
�./ Kermit K. McRae, P.E.

. >P °SUBJECT: Storm Water inlet replacement
Lilac Lane
4 INTRODUCTION:
Mr. Tom Nelson, 1704 Lilac Lane has called City hall to complain that he has
been having to• babysit City storm water inlets in front of his home for years and
requests they be changed.
DISCUSSION•.
Staff has' -looked at the inlets in question and agrees with Mr. Nelson that
the inlet capacity is too small. Staff has found some castings that could be
substituted and the cost would be about $500. The $3,000 storm sewer maintenance
budget line item has been spent on correcting the Cray Research outlet, however,
there. -is a,"sewer maintenance" line item in the utility fund that has enough
money 'left in it to cover this cost.
` RECOMMENDATION•
Staff recommends Council authorize up to $500 from the Utility Fund sewer
maintenance line to cover the replacement of these inlets.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff is looking for' from Council that the work should be
completed this year.

-'SUBJECT: 1984 Seal Coating
Re -sweep seal coated streets
Job No. 8413
INTRODUCTION:
September 13, 1984
Staff has received several complaints this year about sand remaining on the
street after seal coating. Mr. Fogel on Knollwood Lane has been most persistent.
nTQPTTQQTnN.
After seal coating, according to our specifications, streets are swept in
approximately 15 days. The streets then continue to ravel slightly the rest of
the summer, normally that amount would then be picked up in the spring when we
sweep all the city streets. (NOTE: A good share of it ends up in the resident's
lawn with winter plowing.)
Because we have gotten more than normal complaints this summer and because
there is adequate money left in the seal coating budget to cover costs, staff
feels we could sweep the seal coated streets a second time this year at a cost of
approximately $400. Staff feels that in future seal coating jobs we could re-
quire that the contractor sweep twice.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends expending the additional $400 to have streets re -swept.
ACTION REQUIRED•
Staff is looking for consensus from Council that we should re -sweep the 1984
seal coated streets.

that we studied the matter very closely and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), with the support of the Metropolitan Aircraft
Sound Abatement Council (MASAC), has instituted some changes for
aircraft departures on runways 11L and 11R. We believe these changes
will help the situation.
The enclosed minutes of the Operations Committee of MASAC address
the noise issue. These changes are to continue through October at
which time we will examine the progress.
Sincerely,
Darrell Weslander
Manager of Noise Abatement

OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING
July 26, 1984
3:00 p.m.

ews� Hanebuth, Co -Chairman of the Operations Committee, called the meeting
",,.t.a:..o der:.<at 3:00 p.m. In attendance were: Tom Baker, Scott Bun i n, Les Case,
;r'"Bob'Botcher, Ron Glaub, Jeff Hamiel, Robert Mood, Larry Shaughnessy, Darrell
We s,lander,;Bernie Friel, Marilyn Murray, Dale Runkle and Kevin Frazell.
.'rDa.rre"1:1:Y1deslander presented results of the study project regarding departures
;;. of f, •r.:unways 1 1 R and 11L. Records were made of 202 aircraft over a two (2)
_day period in July. The data included relative noise levels in two (2) areas,
the Curley Addition of Mendota Heights and an area of North Eagan near the
Timberline Addition. Radar scope monitoring, ground track plotting and
altitude recordings were made in efforts to determine if aircraft were remaining
within the departure corridor.
After discussion of the current information, Jeff Hamiel moved and Ron Glaub
seconded that the FAA take necessary steps to more strictly confine aircraft
into the runway 11R and 11L departure corridor. Further, emphasis would be
made to keep aircraft from turning before the three (3) mile turn point.
Internal FAA changes that the tower will implement are as follows:
I. It will maximize the use of VFR separation on departure to
.minimize the use of 0900 headings. Controllers will not use
the 150 separation criteria except when operational require-
ments dictate otherwise (weather, controller proficiency,
traffic volume);
2. It will eliminate the restricted flight area grid which is
super -imposed on the radar scope map; and
3. It will adjust headings on take -offs to make more consistent
ground tracks keeping aircraft within the departure corridor.
Staff is to monitor the progress of the changes and report to MASAC at the end
of three (3) months.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted:
Joan Vandersloot

C.S. 1918 (TH 110)
Telephone 779-1121
We have completed a traffic engineering study to determine the reasonable
and safe speeds on T.H. 110 in the City of Mendota Heights as was requested
by your letter dated June 28, 1984. The results of this study indicate
a 50 miles per hour zone is justified and the authorization has been sent
to the Commissioner of Transportation for his signature. We should be
receiving this authorization shortly for proper speed limit signing.
Radar checks of speeds were taken in three locations. The average speed
measured was 49 mph with an 85th percentile speed of 53.5 mph. The 85th
percentile speed is normally the optimum speed limit. The.results of these
checks justify a 50 mph speed limit and the 45 mph speed limit that was
requested by the City would be too low.
It is extremely important that the posted speed limit reflect the maximum
safe speed under ideal conditions and reflect the experience and desires
of the motorist. A speed limit posted to reflect a parttime condition,
to "lower the speeds", or to satisfy an emotional appeal can only serve
to reduce overall safety by creating a speed differential among vehicles;
this creates a false impression of the actual speed and further reduces
the effectiveness of other posted limits.
We hope this explanation answers the concerns expressed by your letter.
If there are any more questions regarding this study, please contact us.

Two recommendations which follow should be briefly addressed: levy adoption
and budget adoption.
State Statutes required communities to adopt and certify levy resolution by
October 10. In past years, levy resolution have been submitted for adoption at
the first meeting in October, primarily because documentation was not completed
in time to recommend earlier adoption. Since the documentation is prepared and
ready for Council consideration earlier than in past years, we will recommend'=•
levy resolution adoption if the documentation meets with Council approval.
Historically, budget adoption has been deferred to the first meeting in
January. The League of Minnesota Cities recommends budget adoption on the date
that the levy is adopted, and most communities adopt their budgets in September
or early October. The budget document discussed by Council in August was much
�. more extensive than past budgets and has been adjusted to reflect Council input
~' at the work session. Unless the Council feels reluctant to change the past
r practice of January adoption, Staff will recommend that the budget be adopted on
Tuesday evening.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council adoption of the proposed 1985 budget and Federal
Revenue Sharing anticipated use along with adoption of the attached proposed levy
resolution.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs in the recommendation, it should: pass a motion adopting
proposed 1985 budget; pass a motion to approve the Federal Revenue Sharing action
use for FY85, Entitlement Period 16; and pass a motion to adopt the attached
proposed Resolution approving 1984 Levy collectible in 1985.

THE PROPOSAL TO THE ENERGY AND ECONOMIC

AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota (the
"City"), as follows:
SECTION 1
Recitals and Findings
1.1 This Council has received a proposal that the City finance a proposed project under
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474 (the "Act"), consisting of the acquisition of land and
constructing and equipping thereon of an approximately 55,000 square foot building to be
used as an educational and convention facility (the "Project") by a Minnesota partnership
to be formed in which Larry Lee will be one of the general partners therein (the
'Borrower").
1.2. At a public hearing, duly noticed and held on September 18, 1984, in accordance
with the Act, on the proposal to undertake and finance the Project, all parties who
appeared at the hearing were given an opportunity to express their views with respect to
the proposal to undertake and finance the Project. Based on such hearing and such other
facts and circumstances as this Council deems relevant, this Council hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
(a) The welfare of the State of Minnesota requires active promotion,
attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound industry
and commerce through governmental acts to prevent, so far as possible,
emergence of blighted lands and areas of chronic unemployment, and the State
has encouraged local government units to act to prevent such economic:.
deterioration.
(b) The Project would further the general purposes contemplated and
described in Section 474.01 of the Act.
(c) The existence of the Project would add to the tax base of the City, the
County and the School District in which the Project is located; would provide
increased opportunities for employment for residents of the City and the
surrounding area.
=J s
(d) This Council has been advised by a representative of the Borrower that
conventional, commercial financing to pay the cost of the Project is available
only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic
feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly reduced, but that
with the aid of municipal borrowing, and its resulting lower borrowing cost,
the Project is economically more feasible.

(e) The City Is authorized by the Act to issue its revenue bonds to finance
capital projects consisting of properties, real and/or personal, used or useful in
connection with a revenue producing enterprise, such as that of the Borrower,
and the Issuance of such bonds by the City would be a substantial inducement
to the Borrower to acquire and install the Project.
SECTION 2
Preliminary Approval of Project
X10n the basis of information given the City to date, it appears that it would be in the
besf nterest of the City to issue its revenue bonds under the provisions of the Act to
}' ,�Ilnance the Project in an amount not exceeding $5,000,000.00.
r 'Z.2 It is hereby determined to proceed with the Project and its financing. Preliminary
>..� approval of the Project and the issuance of revenue bonds of the City (which may be in
the form of a commercial development revenue note or notes) in such amount as hereby
approved is hereby granted by the City, subject to the approval of the Project by the
Minnesota Energy and Economic Development Authority, the fulfillment of such other
conditions as the City may require with respect to the issuance of its revenue bonds in
connection with the Project, and the mutual agreement of this Council and the Borrower
as to the details of the revenue bonds and provisions for their payment. In all events, it is
understood, however, that the revenue bonds of the City shall not constitute a charge, lien
or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City, except the Project, and
each revenue bond, when, as and if issued, shall recite in substance that the revenue bond,
including interest thereon, is payable solely from the revenues received from the Project
and property pledged to the payment thereof, and shall not constitute a debt of the City.
2.3. The form of the Application to the Minnesota Energy and Economic Development
Authority, with attachments, is hereby approved, and the Mayor and City Clerk are
authorized to execute said documents on behalf of the City.
2.4. In accordance with Section 474.019 Subdivision 7a, of the Act, the Mayor is hereby
authorized and directed to submit the proposal for undertaking the Project to the
Minnesota Energy and Economic Development Authority, requesting approval of the
Project. The Mayor, City Clerk, City Attorney and other officers, employees and agents
of the City are hereby authorized and directed to provide the Commissioner with any
preliminary information the Commissioner may need for this purpose, and the City
Attorney is also authorized, in cooperation with bond counsel to be approved by the City,
to initiate preparation of such documents as may be appropriate to the Project in order
that, if it is approved by the Commissioner, it may be carried forward expeditiously.
SECTION 3
General
3.1. If the revenue bonds are issued and sold, the City will enter into a lease, sale or loan
agreement or similar agreement satisfying the requirements of the Act (the "Revenue
Agreement") with the Borrower. The lease rentals, installment sale payments, loan
payments or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the City under the Revenue
Agreement shall be sufficient to pay the principal, interest and redemption premium, if
any, on the revenue bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable.
3.2. The Borrower has agreed and it is hereby determined that any and all direct and
indirect costs incurred by the City in connection with this Project, whether or not the
Project is carried to completion, and whether or not approved by the Minnesota Energy
4
and Economic Development Authority, and whether or not the City by resolution
authorizes the Issuance of the revenue bonds, will be paid by the Borrower upon request.
3.3. The Mayor is directed, if the revenue bonds are issued and sold, thereafter to
comply with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.01, Subdivision S.

RESOLUTION RECITING A PROPOSAL FOR A
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT
PURSUANT TO THE MINNESOTA
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT
AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION
FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT TO -THE
ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT
- WHEREAS,
(a) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
Statutes, known as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial
Development Act (the "Act") as found and determined by the
legislature is to promote the welfare of the state by the
active attraction and encouragement and development of economi-
cally sound industry and commerce to prevent so far.as possible
the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of
chronic -unemployment;
(b) Factors necessitating the active promotion
and development of economically sound industry and commerce are
the increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan
areas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of
governmental services required to meet the needs of the
increased population and the need for development of land use
which will provide an adequate tax base to finance these
increased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
population;
(c) The City Council of the City of Mendota
Heights (the "City") has received from Ralph Linvill, Michael
Valentine and others to be named, a general partnership to be
formed under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the "Company")
a proposal that the City assist in financing a Project
hereinafter described, through the issuance of a Revenue Bond
or Bonds or a Revenue Note or Notes hereinafter referred to in
this resolution as "Revenue Bonds" pursuant to the Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selec-
tive development of the community, retain and improve the tax
base and help to provide the range of services and employment
opportunities required by the population; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project
will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and help
maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation and
debt and enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(e) The Company is currently engaged in the
business of real estate development. The Project to be
financed by the Revenue Bonds is an approximately 174,500
square foot office -warehouse facility to be located at the
Southwest corner of the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and
Parron Road in Mendota Heights and leased to various parties
and consists of the acquisition of land and the construction of
buildings and improvements thereon to be initially owned and
operated by the Company, and will result in the employment of
additional persons to work within the new facilities;
(f) The City has been advised by representa-
tives of Company that conventional, commercial financing -lo pay
the capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited
basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic
feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly
reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that with
the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low borrowing
cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(g) Pursuant to a resolution of the City
Council adopted on August 28, 1984, a public hearing on the
Project was held on September 18, 1984, after notice was
published, and materials made available for public inspection
at the City Hall, all as required by Minnesota Statutes,
Section 474.01, Subdivision 7b at which public hearing all
those appearing who so desired to speak were heard;

direct or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will
any public official either directly or indirectly benefit
financially from the Project.

IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT
WHEREAS,
(a) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
atutes, known as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial
velopment Act (the "Act") as found and determined by the
gislature is to promote the welfare of the state by the
!tive attraction and encouragement and development of economi-
,lly sound industry and commerce to prevent so far.as possible
�e emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of
.conic unemployment; ,
(b) Factors necessitating the active promotion
►d development of economically sound industry and commerce are
Le increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan
,eas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of
>vernmental services required to meet the needs of the
Lcreased population and the need for development of land use
Lich will provide an adequate tax base to finance these
Lcreased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
>pulation;
(c)The City Council of the City of Mendota
sights (the City�� ) has received from The Northland Company, a
)rporation organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota
.he "Company") a proposal that the City assist in financing a
-oject hereinafter described, through the issuance of a
avenue Bond or Bonds or a Revenue -Note or Notes hereinafter
aferred to in this resolution as "Revenue Bonds" pursuant to
ie Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selec-
ive development of the community, retain and improve the tax
ise and help to provide the range of services and employment
?portunities required by the population; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project
will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and help
maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation and
debt and enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(e) The Company is currently engaged in the
business of owning and developing real estate. The Project to
be financed by,the Revenue Bonds is an approximately 35,000
square foot two-story office building, to be located at the
southwest corner of Mendota Heights Road and Transport Drive in
Mendota Heights Industrial Park and leased to various parties
and consists of the acquisition of land and the construction of
buildings and improvements thereon to be initially owned and
operated by the Company, and will result in the employment of
additional persons to work within the new facilities;
(f) The City has been advised by representa-
tives of Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay
the capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited
basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic
feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly
reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that with
the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low borrowing
cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(g) Pursuant to a resolution of the City
Council adopted on August 28, 1984, a public hearing on the
Project was held on September 18, 1984, after notice was
published, and materials made available for public inspection
at the City Hall, all as required by Minnesota Statutes,
Section 474.01, Subdivision 7b at which public hearing all
those appearing who so desired to speak were heard;
(h) No public official of the City has either a
direct or indirect financial -interest in the Project nor will
any public official either directly or indirectly benefit
financially from the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, as follows:
I. The Council hereby gives preliminary approval to the
proposal of Company that the City undertake the Project
pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act
(Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes), consisting of the acqui-
sition and construction of an approximately 35,000 square foot
two-story office building, to be located at the southwest
corner of Mendota Heights Road and Transport Drive in Mendota
Heights Industrial Park within the City pursuant to Company's
specifications suitable for the operations described above to
be initially owned and operated by the Company and pursuant to•
a revenue agreement between the City and Company upon such
terms and conditions with provisions for revision from time to
time as necessary, so as to produce income and revenues
sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on
the Revenue Bonds in the maximum aggregate principal amount of
$2,000,000 to be issued pursuant to the Act to finance the
acquisition and construction of the Project; and said agreement
may also provide for the entire interest of Company therein to
be mortgaged to the purchaser of the Revenue Bonds; and the
City hereby undertakes preliminarily to issue its Revenue Bonds
in accordance with such terms and conditions;
2. On the basis of information available to this Council
it appears, and the Council hereby finds, that the Project
constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises
engaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of
Section 474.02 of the Act; that the Project furthers the
purposes stated in Section 474.01, Minnesota Statutes; that the
Project would not be undertaken but for the availability of
industrial bond financing, that the availability of the
financing under the Act and willingness of the City to furnish
such financing will be a substantial inducement to Company to
undertake the Project, and that the effect of the Project, if
undertaken, will be to encourage the development of
economically sound industry and commerce, to assist in -the
prevention of the emergence'of blighted and marginal land, to
help prevent chronic unemployment, to help the City retain and
improve the tax base and to provide the range of service and
employment opportunities required by the population, to help
prevent the movement of talented and educated persons out of
the state and to areas within the State where their services
may not be as effectively used, to promote more intensive
development and use of land within the City and eventually to
increase the tax base of the community;
3. The Project is hereby given preliminary approval by
the City subject to the approval of the Project by the
Minnesota Energy and Economic Development Authority or such
other state officer having authority to grant approval (the
"Authority"), and subject to final approval by this Council,
Company, and the purchaser of the Revenue Bonds as to the ulti-
mate details of the financing of the Project;
4. In accordance with Subdivision 7a of Section 474.01
Minnesota Statutes, the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized
and directed to submit the proposal for the Project to the
Authority requesting its approval, and other officers,
employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized to
provide the Authority with such preliminary information as it.
may require;
5. Company has agreed and it is hereby determined that
any and all costs incurred by the City in connection with the
financing of the Project whether or not the Project is carried
to completion and whether or not approved by the Authority will
be paid by Company;
6. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, acting as
bond counsel, and Juran & Moody, Inc. are authorized to assist
in the preparation and review of necessary documents relating
to the Project, to consult with the City Attorney, Company and
the purchaser of the Revenue Bonds as to the maturities,
interest rates and other terms and provisions of the Revenue
Bonds and as to the covenants and other provisions of the
necessary documents and to submit such documents to the Council
for final approval;
7. Nothing in this resolution or in the documents pre-
pared pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of any
municipal funds on the Project other than the revenues derived
from the Project or otherwise granted to the City for this
purpose. The Revenue Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien
or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property or funds
of the City except the revenue and proceeds pledged to the
payment thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any liability
thereon. The holder of the Revenue Bonds shall never have -the
right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to
pay the outstanding principal on the Revenue Bonds or the
interest thereon, or to enforce payment thereof against any
property of the City. The Revenue Bonds shall recite in
substance that the Revenue Bonds, including interest thereon,
is payable solely from the revenue and proceeds pledged to the
payment thereof. The Revenue Bonds shall not constitute a debt
of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory limitation;
8. In anticipation of the approval by the Authority the
issuance of the Revenue Bonds to finance all or a portion of
the Project, and in order that completion of the Project will
not be unduly delayed when approved, Company is hereby
authorized to make such expenditures and advances toward
payment of that portion of the costs of the Project to be
financed from the proceeds of the Revenue Bonds as Company con-
siders necessary, including the use of interim, short-term
financing, subject to reimbursement from the proceeds of the
Revenue Bonds if and when delivered but otherwise without
liability on the part of the City.

SUBJECT: Surface Water Runoff, Cherry Hill 2nd Addition
INTRODUCTION:
Recently, Mr. Adolphus Gaddy, 1387 Farmdale Road, and Mr. David Trudeau,
1385 Farmdale Road, appeared before the Council with a problem regarding
surface water runoff in their neighborhood. It seems that in periods of
heavy rain or snow melt, two natural low areas on the Wachtler farm south of
Cherry Hill 2nd Addition overflow causing surface water to run through the
rear yards along Farmdale and collect in Mr. Gaddy's yard.' The attached
drawing depicts what Staff considers to be the problem.
DISCUSSION:
A visit to the site reveals that the low areas have been in existance
for many years with no man-made changes. Farmdale Road and adjacent prop-
erties slope to the north at a 3 or 4 percent grade allowing for adequate
surface water runoff. Individual property owners usually grade and sod to
allow an adequate swale and fall to keep surface water away from the dwelling.
It is staff's opinion that Mr. Gaddy did not do so. Thus, during excessive
runoff, surface water does accumulate at the southeast corner of Mr. Gaddy's
house where the sod is approximately flush with the tops of basement window
areaways.
In the process of flowing from the Wachtler farm, surface water passes
through two rear yards along Farmdale Road that appear to have adequate
drainage control. This water flows to the lot line between the Trudeau and
Gaddy properties where a low wood wall was installed on the lot line in an
effort to divert the water westward to Farmdale Road. It does not appear
to be completely successful because of a lack of adequate slope on the Gaddy
property towards Farmdale Road.
ALTERNATIVES:
Two alternatives appear to be possible. One will involve the City
Public Works Department, and the other will involve private property
owners. Staff does not consider a public improvement project necessary or
possible.
1. As shown on the drawing, a small low area along Wachtler Avenue
collects water from Cherry Hills 1st Addition through a culvert
under Wachtler Avenue. Overflow water runs westward with some
of it being diverted to the cul-de-sac at the end of Cherry Hill
Road, and the balance continuing to the rear lots along Farmdale.
A 50 foot shallow ditch can be constructed along the line between
lots 5 and 6 of Block 3 diverting some or all of the water from
Wachtler Avenue. Lot 6 is vacant but a construction easement may
be needed and surface water will run along the curb surface to a
storm sewer at the intersection of Farmdale and Cherry Hill Road.
2. The other alternative is for Mr. Gaddy to regrade his yard to provide
a positive swale to direct surface water from the rear yard toward
Farmdale and also toward the northerly neighboring property where
an adequate slope exists.
It is Staff's opinion that the Gaddy property does not allow for positive
drainage away from the house, is too low at the basement windows and a down
spout from the roof drain spilling in to the wet area adds to the problem.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council give consideration to constructing.a
ditch along the line between Lots 5.and 6 of Block 3 but only after Staff has
had an opportunity to inform property owners along Cherry Hill Road of the
possibility of increased surface water flow along the west gutter to Farmdale
Road, and has received their comments.
Staff also recommends that the Council inform Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Gaddy
that the City cannot become involved in expending public funds to improve
private property and to suggest to Mr. Gaddy that he take steps to regrade
his yard by removing the sod and developing a positive swale to keep water
away from the house and from ponding in the rear yard. He should also be
informed that it is advisable to revise the roof drain to slope to the north
where a downspout can direct water northward to where existing drainage now
flows.
ACTION REQUIRED:
1. If the Council concurs with Staff's recommendation for a ditch between
Lots 5 and 6 of Block 3, it should direct Staff to advise the property
owners along Cherry Hill Road of the consequences, namely, possible
water flow in the street gutters for lengthy periods of time.
2. If Council continues to see the need for a ditch, it should direct
Staff to obtain necessary construction easements and to assist Public
Works in installing some. Cherry Hill 2nd Addition plat does provide
for a 10 foot drainage easement on the side of each platted lot. An
additional temporary easement may be needed.
3. Council should advise Mr. Gaddy that to eliminate ponding, he should
regrade his yard and change the rear roof drainage, as suggested.

Attached is the proposal contract for providing police services to the City
of Lilydale. The proposal calls for a contract amount of $35,154 for
1985.
That represents a 12.998 increase over 1984.
In 1983, Administrator Johnson and I negotiated a per capita + 10%
formula to determine the costs for policing Lilydale. That formula
has been used to formulate the 1985 proposal.
TOTAL BUDGET + TOTAL POPULATION SERVED = PER CAPITA COST
620,880 + 8,160 a 76.09
POPULATION OF LILYDALE X PER CAPITA + 109 = CONTRACT AMOUNT
420 X 76.09 + 109 = 35,154
Council approve the attached proposal so that it can be forwarded to
Lilydale for their approval.
APPENDIX A
METHOD OF DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF PAYMENT FOR POLICE SERVICES

MEMO
September 11, 1984
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Xfist'rator
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Traffic - Speed Limits
INTRODUCTION
'A
At the August 21st City Council meeting, there was discussion on speed
limits for both Lexington Avenue, South of TH110 and TH110 through Mendota
Heights. I feel that there is some confusion on the part of the Council as
to how speed limits are arrived at and will try to help clear that up with
this memo.
DISCUSSION
The basic rule on speed limits is that there are two speed limits; 55 mph
rural and 30 mph urban (with some special cases ie. school zones). Any speed
other than those has to be authorized by the Commissioner of Highways. To get
other speeds authorized, the political jurisdiction involved has to make the
request to the local Mn/DOT District Office, whereby that District Traffic
Engineer prepares a study to validate the request. After the study is done,
he reports the results to the requesting authority and if favorable, forwards
them to the Commissioner of Highways. This is "speed limits in a nutshell",
but I am also attaching the League of Minnesota Cities information on the
matter, which goes into a little more detail.
Mn/DOT Traffic Studies have been taking 4 - 6 months to complete, so I
am suggesting that because of the time lag, the City should request through
the County that the Lexington Avenue speed be studied now so that next spring,
when Riley's Apartments are completed, the speed on Lexington will be reduced.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council request Dakota County Officials take
the necessary action to have the speed along Lexington Avenue reduced to 40 mph.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation, they should pass
a motion adopting Resolution No. 84 -

RESOLUTION NO. 84 -
RESOLUTION REQUESTING DAKOTA COUNTY REDUCE THE
SPEED LIMIT ON LEXINGTON AVENUE IN MENDOTA HEIGHTS
WHEREAS, I-494 construction has made Lexington Avenue a "T" intersection
at Mendota Heights Road, leaving just a short distance of 50 mph remaining;
and
WHEREAS, Mendota Heights has recently approved a new three (3) building,
225 unit apartment complex along that distance; and
WHEREAS, school buses and MTC buses, together with an ever increasing amount
of privately owned vehicles, are trying to enter in that distance; and
WHEREAS, a speed survey conducted by the Mendota Heights Police Department
shows that most traffic is already presently traveling at a rate less than
50 mph.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Mendota Heights, Minnesota, request that the speed all along Lexington
as it extends through Mendota Heights, be evaluated and subsequently zoned
and posted for lower speeds where appropriate.

POWER OF CITIES TO REGULATE SPEED OF MOTOR VEHICLES
555g.1
Rcv. August, 1979
State law (M.S. 169.14) sets speed, limits gen-
:rally applicable on highways and streets but
also permits variations in those speed limits in ac-
cordance with physical factors and traffic con-
siderations. These • variat-ons are made by the
state commissioner of transportation upon the
basis of engineering and traffic surveys. There is,
however, a general prohibition in the law against
driving at a speed greater than is reasonable under
the conditions then existing. (M.S. 169:011
This rule applies both to state trunk highways and
to other streets of the city as well as roads in the
country and means that when hazardous condi-
-tions exist, it may be unlawful to go as fast as per-
mitted in a particular place under optimum condi-
tions.
. When the speed limit on any street or highway
has not been changed by the commissioner of
transportation, the limit in urban districts is 30
miles per hour and elsewhere it is 55 miles per
hour.' (An "urban district" is defined as terri-
tory contiguous to and including any street which
is built up with structures devoted to business,
industry, or dwelling houses situated at intervals
of less than 100 feet for a distance of a quarter
mile or more. M.S. 169.01, Subd. 59.) The limit
may not be raised or lowered by local ordinance,
but a city may ask the commissioner of transpor-
tation to do so. This request may be in the form of
a resolution directed to the commissioner listing
those streets or parts of streets which the council
believes should be zoned and posted for lower
(or higher) speeds. The streets may be either in
urban districts or in other areas within the city.
If the request is given favorable consideration, the
commissioner will take action to increase or lower
the limit. Of course, the necessary signs giving the
new zoned speed must be posted. On trunk high-
ways, both within and without city limits, the
commissioner of transportation may at his discre-
tion establish speed zones without any action by
local authorities, or even in the face ot' protests
from them.
This state control over speed throughout the
entire state limits municipal power to three pos-
sibilities:
1. Enforcing the speed limits established by law
or by the commissioner of transportation. Form
erly, cities were inclined to adopt a local ordinance
consistent with the state law in order to be able
to keep fines collected for violations and to use
a simpler procedure in prosecutions, but because
of court decisions and statutory changes, a local
ordinance is now of little value for this purpose.
2. Requesting the commissioner of transporta-
tion to zone particular streets or parts of streets at
speeds different from the speed limit otherwise in
force.
3. Establishing lower limits in public or non-
public school zones. The council may establish
such school speed limits on the basis of an en;i-
neering and traffic investigation as prescribed by
the commissioner of transportation (not neces-
sarily conducted by the department). The com-
missioner's consent is required for such a school
speed limit on a trunk highway but not on local
streets. School speed limits are in effect when chil-
dren are present, going to or leaving school during
opening or closing hours or recess periods. A
school speed limit may not be lower than 1
miles per hour and must be within 24 ^:i•.es per
hour of the established speed limit on the street
if that limit is 40 miles per hour or above. Signs
must be posted by the city (by the corrimi»ic;ric,
of transportation on trunk highways) to designatT
the speed and show the beginning and end of the
reduced speed zone. A school zone consists of that
section of a street which abuts the grounds of a
school where children have access to the street
from the school property or where an established
school crossing is located, but the school advance
sign prescribed by the commissioner in the manual
of uniform traffic control devices must be in place.
(M.S. 169.14, Subd. 5a.)
The law distinguishes between maximum and
prima facie speed limits. The speed limit on all
streets within cities whether zoned or not are maxi-
mum and any speed in excess of the limit is always
unlawful. Outside city limits, the commissioner of
transportation may establish zones in which speed
limits are fixed at fiifures below the 55 mile limit
otherwise applicable and any such zone may be
made either a maximum or prima facie limit.
The commissioner may also establish zones of
'This is the maximum fixed by the commissioner of transportation pursuant to federal and state law by
executive order 78 and commissioner order 54539, both dated March 1, 1974 and applies until it is res-
cinded by the commissioner. (M.S. 169.141.) The former unzoned speed limit of 65 miles per hour in the
daytime (55 miles per hour at night) remains in the statutes (M.S. 169.14, Subd. 2) and will become
effective again when the commissioner's emergency order is rescinded.
2Although the speed limits section of the traffic code permits the ccmrnission r to raise as c!I as loti::.r
speed limits, the power to raise limits may not be used to increase the emergency 55 -mile limit established
pursuant to M.S. 169.141.

• Jk.
,nimurn, speed .-and- speeds less than the posted
mums are prima facie evidence of illegality.
In any case where there is a prima facie speed limit,
the violator has the possibility (not very real in
most cases because of the difficulty of proof) of
proving that a speed above the fixed limit was
reasonable under the circumstances then existing
and was, therefore, not unlawful.
The policy of the commissioner of transporta-
tion in establishing speed zones to replace higher
Ji,xedt4jmits has been to exercise that authority
�tcabYiously,4,nd only where a study of traffic and
'� engineering<"considerations indicates strongly that
a Iower•,speed is justified. A number of before -and -
`after studies made by the department have shown
thataf aspeed limit is set so low as to be considered
unreasonable by a substantial portion of drivers, it
.•:w 1.,nnt#achieve the objective of reducing speed
beeatise so many drivers will disobey it that en-
forcement of the reduced limit'becomes impossible.
An some cases the department has found that rai-
sing an unreasonable limit to a reasonable figure
actually has resulted in lowering the average speed
in the area zoned.
Violation of any provision of the traffic code,
including a speeding violation, is a petty misde-
meanor except in two instances: (1) when the vio-
lation is committed "in a manner or under cir-
cumstances so as to endanger or be likely to en-
danger any person or property or (2) when it is
committed by one who has had two previous con-

victions for moving violations within a year. If the
offense is a petty misdemeanor, the violator is
subject on conviction to a fine of $100 and the
trial is by a court without a iury. If the offense
is a misdemeanor, the violator is entitled to -a jury
trial and upon conviction may be punished by a
fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for
up to 90 days or both. (M.S. 169.S9, Subds. 1 and
2; see also Rule 26.01, Subd. 1 of the Rules of
Criminal Procedure.)
Before the present speed laws were adopted,
many municipalities had ordinances fixing speed
limits within municipal boundaries or at specific
locations at 10-25 miles per hour as permitted
under traffic laws then in force. In most instances
these ordinances have long since been repealed,
of course, but where they still remain on the
books, they are no longer valid. Any attempt to
prosecute under such an ordinance could be
successfully defended on the ground of invalid-
ity and any conviction could be upset on appeal
to district court. ' .
Even after the present statutory. provisions on
speed limits first became effective, speed limits
below 30 miles an hour were posted locally in a
few municipalities without action by the depart-
ment of transportation or its predecessor, the
department of highways. If these signs s=ill exist,
the practice of using them is unwise, riot only
because they are unenforceable but also because
they tend to encourage disregard for warning
signs generally.

FROM: Dennis J. Delmont, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: SALE OF VEHICLES
We presently have four (4) surplus vehicles that should be sold. It
is proposed that they be sold as soon as possible to make room at
Public Works for winter maintenance.
We recently replaced three (3) police squad cars and the Fire Chief's
car. The Code Enforcement Officer has taken one of the squad cars
and we are left with four (4) vehicles to sell. As we could not
provide three (3) workers for a Hennepin County Auction in August of
1983,=we cannot participate in the 1984 auctions. -
We have the following to sell:
1982 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, 4 dr. sedan w/67,040 miles ($2,500)
1981 Chevrolet Malibu, 4 dr. sedan, w/66,865 miles ($1,500)
�:rt 1979 Chevrolet Malibu, 4 dr. sedan, w/80,400 miles ($1,500)
1973 Plymouth Station Wagaon, w/93,530 miles ($300)
We can wholesale the vehicles to a dealer at a reduced price, or we
can sell the vehicles on the open market through an ad in the paper.
In checking with Dick Ploumen, he is willing to display the vehicles
at the Public Works building.
RECOMM NDAT ION
Because of the markup needed, the wholesale price to a dealer will
be low. On the market we will take our chances and expend some
personnel time, but I believe we stand a good chance of receiving
$200-$300 more for each vehicle. It is recommended that we
advertise and sell the vehicles ourselves with stated minimums. if
minimums are not reached, we can then sell to dealers.
Council approve advertising the four (4) vehicles for sale for best
offer over stated minimums.

SUBJECT: Potential Subsidy for North End Street Improvements
INTRODUCTION
Federal Community Development Block Grant f unds,as administered by
the Dakota County HRA, might be a source of subsidizing street improve-
ments in the North end. The first step in pursuing that possibility is
to authorize the HRA to complete an income survey of the area. The
purpose of this agenda item is to seek Council concurrence for that
survey.
RACKI:Rnumn
As Council may recall, Dakota County now receives an annual "enti-
tlement" of CDBG funds of $1.2 million. These funds are to be used
primarily to benefit low and moderate income households, through speci-
fic projects identified in each community. Funding applications are
due into the HRA by December lst. The northern Dakota County group of
$;y cities, of which we are a part, will be receiving approximately
$360,000 in 1985. The task force of community representatives, on
which Councilwoman Witt serves, will make the final funding decisions
to divide up that money.
One potential use that seems worth pursuing is to provide a direct
subsidy against special assessments for income eligible households on
Hiawatha, Fremont, Chippewa, Garden Lane, and Ellen Streets for street
improvements. Those families whose incomes are at or below federally
determined levels, could be provided with a direct grant to prepay the
specials. The grant could be a "gift", or could be set up as an
interest-free loan, repayable upon sale of the property.
To give Council some idea of the eligible income guidelines, a
household of two would need an income of $18,000 or less; a household
of four $25,500 or less. In order to determine the extent of need in
the area, the HRA has offered to conduct an income survey, at no cost
to the City. The results of that survey would be used in preparing the
grant application. They do, however, request Mendota Heights endorse-
ment of the survey. The survey would be sent with a letter of transmi-
ttal by the Mayor, explaining our efforts to secure financial
1
assistance for the project, and urging participation in the survey.
RECOMMENDATION
I have discussed this possibility with Councilman Hartmann, who
feels that there may, in fact, be fixed-income households in the area
that could benefit from the program. Therefore, I recommend that we
begin pursuit by authorizing the survey.
ACTION REQUIRED
Motion to authorize the Dakota County HRA to conduct an income
survey of residents on Hiawatha, Fremont, Chippewa, Garden Lane, and
Ellen Streets.
Respectfully submitted,
