REVENUE SHARING/ Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a BUDGET HEARING hearing on the proposed uses of Federal Revenue Sharing entitlements and the proposed 1985 City ( budget. r City Treasurer Shaughnessy reviewed his memo regarding the proposed revenue sharing uses, proposed budget and proposed levy. Mr. Shaughnessy stated that the FY 85 revenue sharing entitlement is anticipated to be $33,313 and that there should be a $2600 carry-over from FY 84 entitlements after payment of the Public Works Garage fund deficit. Proposed uses of the revenue sharing allocation are as follows: $7,000 for preparation of a municipal facility study; $3,000 for acquisition of a radio unit and one-half of a base station for Code Enforcement; $9,000 for Park Depart- ment radios and $15,000 for a truck for the Park Department. Mr. Shaughnessy discussed mill rate and assessed valuation information and stated that the total proposed tax levy should result in a one-half mill reduction in the City's mill rate. Mr. Shaughnessy recommended Council adoption of a $1,036,861 General Fund levy and $123,999 debt service levy along with a recommendation for adoption of the proposed 1985 budget document. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Councilman Mertensotto moved that the hearing be closed at 8:20 P.M. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Councilman Mertensotto moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-58, "RESOLUTION APPROVING 1984 LEVY C COLLECTIBLE IN 1985," approving a total mill levy of $1,160,860. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Councilman Mertensotto moved to adopt the 1985 Budget dated September 12, 1984. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion.

Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 HEARINGS - INDUSTRIAL Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of REVENUE FINANCING public hearings on applications for industrial revenue financing from Larry Lee and Ralph Linvill. Mayor Lockwood informed the audience that the Council will give consideration to action which would allow both applicants to apply to take part in the state Industrial Revenue Bond pool. City Treasurer Shaughnessy stated that if the Council gives preliminary approval of the projects this evening, the applicants may then submit applications to the state pool for industrial development bonding authority. He stated that Mr. Lee is requesting preliminary approval for $5,000,000 in financing and proposes to construct a 55,000 square foot conference facility on the Gould site at TH 110 and Lexington Avenue. Mr. Linvill is requesting preliminary approval for $2,700,000 in financing and proposes to construct a 55,000 square foot office -warehouse at the southwest intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Perron Road. Mr. Shaughnessy reviewed the process and requirements necessary in order to apply to the state pool. Mr. Larry Lee stated that since his last appearance before the Council in August he has refined the project, has met with the City Planner and has received purchase agreement approval from Gould. He stated that the project as proposed meets all City zoning requirements, and that he plans to meet with highway department representatives in the near future to discuss site access if Council gives approval to his proposal for financing. Mr. Ralph Linvill stated that he proposes to construct a 55,000 square foot "high-tech" office/warehouse structure similar to the structure he constructed on the west side of Pilot Knob Road. He indicated that the anticipated use of the proposed structure will be similar to that of the original structure but that the new building will have a higher aesthetic appearance. Councilman Mertensotto informed both applicants that it should be clearly understood that approval of financing in advance of approval of the structures Page No. 2114 September 18, 1984 should not lead the applicants to believe they have tacit approval of either their plans or any zoning issues, that only financing is being considered this evening. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Councilman Mertensotto moved to close the hearings on the Larry Lee and Ralph Linvill applications for industrial �r revenue financing at 8:45 P.M. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. `,Aye,s : 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Mayor Lockwood moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-59, "RESOLUTION GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A PROJECT UNDER THE MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT; REFERRING THE PROPOSAL TO THE ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR APPROVAL; AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS," with regard to the Larry Lee request for preliminary approval of a financing project of up to $5,000,000. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Councilman Hartmann moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-60, "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 SUBMISION 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," relative to the Ralph Linvill request for preliminary approval of a $2,700,000 financing project. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 HEARING - INDUSTRIAL Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a REVENUE FINANCING public hearing on an application from the Northland Company for $3,000,000 in industrial revenue financing. Treasurer Shaughnessy informed the Council that the original information presented to the Council in August requested $3,000,000 in entitlement funds and $2,000,000 from the state pool to finance two single- Page No. 2115 September 18, 1984 story structures and one two-story structure at the southwest corner of Mendota Heights Road and Transport Drive. He stated that since the August 28th meeting, the firm has entered into a lease arrangement with a firm that is ineligible for industrial revenue finan- cing. Northland's bond attorneys have prepared a revised application and resolutions for Council con- sideration which request $3,000,000 in entitlement funds to finance the construction of one single -story 24,000 square foot structure and one two-story 35,000 square foot structure: the second one-story structure will be financed by United Properties. Mr. Shaughnessy stated that the proposed resolution giving preliminary approval to the financing project includes the stipu- lation that a public hearing will be conducted on October 16th to consider approval of an ownership name change from the Northland Company to MHBC I Partner- ship. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Mayor Lockwood moved that the hearing be closed at 9:00 P.M. Councilman Mertensotto seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 After discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-61, "RESOLUTION RECITING A PROPOSAL FOR A COMMERCIAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT PURSUANT TO THE MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVEL- OPMENT ACT AND AUTHORIZING THE PUBLICATION OF A NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON SAID PROJECT," calling for a public hearing at 7:30 P.M. on October 16, 1984 to consider the applicant's name change request. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 DRAINAGE COMPLAINT The Council acknowledged two staff memos and a peti- tion from property owners in the Cherry Hills Second Addition regarding surface water problems. CMr. Adolphus Gaddy, 1387 Farmdale Road, requested that the City Engineer be directed to work with the County to stop the run-off into the plat area. He suggested that staff should make a recommendation on what should be done with Cherry Hills Addition drainage, that the Cherry Hills Addition should have some type of storm sewer system. Mr. Gaddy stated that each year the drainage problem gets worse, that the water flow has Page No. 2116 September 18, 1984 increased by ten times over five years ago. Mr. Dave Trudeau, 1385 Farmdale Road, stated that the water flows through his back yard and between Lots 11 and 12 towards the street, but during heavy rains the :h water is as much as 16 inches deep. He stated that if it were not for a dike which Mr. Gaddy built the water would be going through his (Mr. Gaddy's) basement windows. In response to a suggestion in the residents' peti- tion, Mayor Lockwood stated that the City cannot plug the 18 inch culvert under Wachtler Avenue. He in- formed the audience of the history surrounding the country type ditches which constitute the Cherry Hills Addition drainage system. Councilwoman Blesener asked whether something could be done at the south end of Farmdale (north side of the Wachtler property) to re -direct the water flow. Pub- lic Works Director Danielson stated that the sugges- tion could certainly be studied. He informed the Council that the•City Engineer tried to stop the study at a point where work could be completed by City staff on previously budgeted funds, and that if berming on the Wachtler property is considered the City would have to finance easement acquisition and other costs. Mr. Ron Nordstrand, 1344 Cherry Hill Road, the owner of Lot 7, stated that he is opposed to the staff recommendation that a ditch be dug between Lots 5 and 6 to divert water. He also read a portion of a letter given to him by Mr. Ron Slater, owner of Lot 6, in opposition to the proposed ditch. It was the feeling of the Council that the recommen- dation contained in the August 10th staff report might create more problems than it solves. Staff was direc- ted to study the problem further and prepare a report reflecting a more permanent solution including costs and financing alternatives. / LILYDALE POLICE The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from \_ CONTRACT Police Chief Delmont recommending approval of the 1985 Lilydale police contract which reflects a 5% increase over 1984 for a contract amount of $35,154. Page No. 2117 September 18, 1984 Councilwoman Witt moved approval of the 1985 Lilydale police contract along with authorization for its exe- cution by the Mayor and City Clerk. Councilwoman Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CURLEY ADDITION The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the BIKE TRAIL Public Works Director recommending Council authoriza- tion for construction of an 8 -foot wide gravel bike trail along the east and north boundaries of Lot 10, Curley's Valley View Replat. The memo included a rec- ommendation that the $3,800 construction costs be financed by the Special Park Fund. Park Commission member Jim Stein, present for the discussion, stated that he realizes that years ago the property owners in the Curley Addition were told that the lot would be considered open space but pointed out that the lot has never been maintained as open space. He stated that the first request received from the neighborhood was that the City clean the lot, the City was then requested to provide access to Rogers Lake Park through the lot, and the last request was that the lot be used for park purposes and open space, in- cluding installation of picnic tables, etc. He strong- ly suggested that the Council not approve the final request. Mr. Stein stated that the lot was origin- ally acquired to provide access to Rogers Lake Park, and that if that is the major purpose of the neighborhood, they do have easy and ready access through the lot. He suggested that the Park Commission takes issue with the staff recommendation that funding be via the special park fund except as funds are needed to finance a trail. He felt that the City does not need to spend money on sodding and seeding the lot by City staff. He stated that while members of the neighborhood have stated that they will maintain the lot if it is seeded and sodded, those people may move and new residents might expect the City to maintain the lot. Such an activity would divert City staff from doing more important work in larger -parks in the City. In response to a question from Mr. Warren Beers, 2099 Theresa, Public Works Director Danielson stated that an eight -foot gravel trail will be centered on a 15 to 20 foot easement on the north and east side of the lot and that a few trees may have to be removed. Mr. Warren Beers, 2099 Theresa, stated that a well - used path runs down the center of the lot and sugges- Page No. 2118 September 18, 1984 ted that even if the City constructs a trail on the side of the lot, the existing path will still be tra- veled more. He stated that if the trail must be placed on the property line and the result would be removal of all of the trees he would rather not have the bikeway. In response, Public Works Director Dan- ielson stated that while most of the trees are not hardwoods, the City will make every effort to save the ones which it is desirable to save. In response to the Mayor's suggestion that the neigh- borhood should be sent copies of the proposed trail layout and information on the amount of work which is proposed,, Mr. Danielson informed the Council that copies of the September 12th memo had been sent to the Maples and Mattsons and one other resident and staff had not received any response. It was noted that Mr. Beers was the only neighborhood resident present for the discussion, even though others had been notified of. the recommendation. It was the determination of the Council that action on the matter should be deferred until such time as plans and a final recommendation are available for Council review. Public Works Director Danielson informed the Council that Mn/DOT approval -to extend the storm pipe under the trail has not been received yet and that a final report and plans cannot be completed for several weeks: construction will not be possible until next spring. The Council directed that at such time as the plans and final recommendation are available, copies should be sent to Commission member Stein and residents on ` Theresa and Timmy should be notified. SPEED LIMITS The Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director Danielson regarding the process by which speed limits are determined. LEXING TON AVENUE The Council acknowledged and discussed a proposed SPEED LIMIT resolution requestin§ the County to reduce the speed limit on Lexington Avenue. Mayor Lockwood moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-62, "RESOLUTION REQUESTING DAKOTA COUNTY REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT ON LEXINGTON AVENUE IN MENDOTA HEIGHTS,". as amended to include a paragraph requesting that all of Lexington Avenue be re-classified as an urban sec- Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 FREEWAY PLANS Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 SALE OF VEHICLES Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 2119 September 18, 1984 within the corporate City limits of Mendota Heights be) reduced to 30 miles per hour. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Public Works Director Danielson reviewed the Mn/DOT construction plans for I-494 from .5 miles east of TH 149 to the east corporate limits. Councilwoman Blesener moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-63, "RESOLUTION APPROVING CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS (S.P. 1985-69/494=393). Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. The Council acknoweldged and discussed a memo from the Police Chief recommending the sale of three excess squad cars and the fire chief's former vehicle. After discussion, Mayor Lockwood moved to approve the sale of a 1982 Ford LTD Crown Victoria, 1981 Chevrolet Malibu, 1979 Chevrolet Malibu and 1973 Plymouth Station Wagon after advertisement of the sale for the best offer over stated minimums. Councilwoman Blesener seconded the motion. NORTH AREA STREETS The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from Administrator Frazell regarding a potential subsidy, via Community Development Block Grant funds, for potential street improvements in the north end of the City. The memo indicated that if the grant were to be approved, income eligible households on Hiawatha, Fremont, Chippewa, Garden Lane and Ellen Streets could receive a direct subsidy against special assessments. In response to a question from the Council Public Works Director Danielson reviewed the status of his discussions with the Minnesota State Aid engineer relative to the qualification of Chippewa Avenue as a municipal state aid street. After discussion, Councilman Hartmann moved to authorize the Dakota County HRA to conduct an income survey of residents on Hiawatha, Fremont, Chippewa, Garden Lane, and Ellen Streets, and to include a cover Page No. 2120 September 18, 1984 City's efforts to gain MSX status for Chippewa. Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 IMPROVEMENT 84-3 Public Works Director Danielson reviewed plans and specifications for the installation of sanitary ` sewers, storm sewers and water service connections to serve Lot H., Ivy Hills 2nd Addition. Councilman Hartmann moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-64, "RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE LOT H, IVY HILLS 2ND ADDITION (IMPROVEMENT NO. 84, PROJECT NO. 3), bids to be received on October 11th. Mayor Lockwood seconded the motion: Ayes: 5 ` Nays: 0 LEXINGTON HIGHLANDS The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from OPEN SPACE Public Works Director Danielson relative to a question from Councilwoman Blesener regarding the appearance of the outlots in the Lexington Highlands plats. Councilwoman Blesener stated that the problem is the corner of Summit and Marie. She stated that the outlot just looks like vacant open land with no vegetation on it. She suggested that the matter be discussed with the neighbors and that perhaps the outlot (Outlot A, Lexington Highlands East) should be sold as a buildable lot. After discussion, Mayor Lockwood moved that Councilwoman Blesener be authorized to meet with the neighbors to discuss the potential for sale of the lot for residential development and that the matter be referred to the Park and Recreation Commission for consideration and recommendation. Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 C SUNDAY LIQUOR SALES The Council acknowledged a memo from the City Clerk recommending that the question of whether the City should issue "on -sale" Sunday liquor licenses be placed on the ballot for the November City election. Councilman Hartmann moved.to authorize the preparation and inclusion of a special ballot in the November 6th Page No. 2121 September 18, 1984 ballot language: "Shall the City Council be authorized to issue special "on -sale" licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquor at retail by restaurants and/or hotels and motels on Sundays between the hours of 11:00 o'clock A.M. and 12:00 o'clock midnight in conjunction with the issuance of "on -sale" C intoxicating liquor licenses."

Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 10:30 o'clock P.M. Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk ATTEST: Robert G. Lockwood Mayor October 170 1884 Mr. Robert 0. Lockwood, M"or OCT 2 2 1984 City of Mendota heights,-Minrmota Dear Mr. Lockwood C I have just received your letter of September 20, 1884 regarding certain proposed Improvements to Men Street' I was unable to attend your meeting held to discuss this situation. l NY loo is a single lot-fronting'south on the entire length of =Lien streets niarth on Delaware and east on ihippsRa. All lots on this part of Delaware are single lots fronting on both Delaware and Chippewa streets. Mrs. !Cans and I purchased this dwelling in 1951 and have lived here since. The lot south of ours -raa owned by Roger DeLange who had plans tohave erected a dwelling for himself; but when the city submitted its good offer to purchase it for a road he acaept4 it. At that time Robert Edman was m Wor Whan len street was proposed d there was no good need for it by reason of two other cross streets both north and siuth already existing for t4s::ube of those who resided in a relatively small area of a fes blocks west of Chippewa. Robert Edman as mayor aceeeded to the request of that small group of people who wanted the now road for their convenience with the very definiteaunderstanding that no part of the cost for construation or aisi.ntananee would ever be charged or assessed against Via property fronting on Yuen street. That understanding applies just as importantly today as it did then. We who haus property fronting on Men treet never use it and wauld very much welcome its closing. In so far as Chippewa• street is concerned we also never use it, but by reason of our lots. fronting on it, if as assessment is nado for improving Chippewa we will pay our share of it, if, it materialises. We. Kane and t will appreciate your sincere efforts to review..and support the original agreements and understanding for buildimg and maintaining Ellen street that the properties thereon not be assessed or charged for its matutenanoe or other charges thereto. If Ellen street should be maintained for the convenience of a small group of property owners that group should pay for it. However, there a&W be sufficient reason for assessing the total cost thereof against all of the properties proportionall against all of the properties in the so chlled North End area. We will sincerely appreciate your efforts to have the original agreement as to the maintenance of Ellen street by the city continued without interuption of change. Yours truly of n V. Kane Laws M.

Also present were Planning Consultant Howard Dahlgren and Public Works Director Jim Danielson. APPROVAL OF Minutes of the Septmber 25 meeting had been submitted previously. MINUTES Commissioner Morson moved to approve the minutes as submitted. Commissioner Stefani seconded the motion. Ayes: 7 Nays: 0 Commissioner Henning asked if United Properties had submitted their procedures for the maintenance of the pond area at their latest project, since the City Council had approved their Planned Unit Development request and the maintenance procedure was one condition of the Planning Commission recommendation for approval. 40 Public Works Director Danielson advised that the Council has previously worked with United Properties and that he felt the Council was comfortable with their action and they had no doubts that the maintenance procedure would be forthcoming, as it was being drafted by United's attorneys. HEARING, CASE NO. Chairperson Kruse called the meeting to order for the purpose of 84-21, GRAPPENDORF, a public hearing on an application from Mrs. Eveline Grappendorf, REZONING & SUBDIVISION 1769 Delaware, for the rezoning from R-lA to R-1, her 8.1 acres of land along Delaware, approximately 660 feet north of Marie Avenue. Commissioner Ridder advised the Commission that she had a conflict of interest in this case and removed herself from the Commission members and took a seat in the audience. Mr. David Hansing, Consulting Engineer for the project, gave a presentation for the Commission and audience. He noted that Mrs. Grappendorf is proposing to develop eight single family lots, with one unit per acre and that the land is currently zoned R -1A, with the minimum square footage at 40,000 square foot per lot. He indicated that Lots 5 and 73, Block 2, were meant. to remain at 40,000 square foot and that the four lots north of the proposed extension of Stanwich Avenue would be rezoned to R-1, with 15,000 square foot lots. He also noted that Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 7, Block 2, have a creek running through them. He said that originally Mrs. Grappendorf had looked at all the lots being 40,000 square feet, but that it would not be economically feasible to develop the land that way. She is now asking for the rezoning to allow her to develop her proposal. Planning Commission Minutes, October 23, 1984 • Page Two" Mr. Hansing noted that there would be no problem in delayin, action tonight for further analysis, in lieu of denial of the request. Commissioner Henning asked why it could not be rezoned to R -1B. Commissioner Burke asked how a home could be built on Lot 7, Block 2. Mr. Hansing stated that it muld be constructed on the Stanwich side, north of the creek. He also noted that no soil borings had been done at this time and that Lot 1, Block 1 is considered a non -buildable lot at this time. Mr. Hansing gave a conservative estimate of approximately $115,0( for improvements for sewer water, streets and storm sewers to serve the 8.1 acre parcel. Chairperson Kruse asked for questions or comments from the audience. Mr. Russell Wahl, 631 Callahan Place asked if staff reports were available for public review. Chairperson Kruse then read Planner Dahlgren's summary of his report. Mr. Tom Mairs, 1707 Delaware, asked if the audience could have a few minutes to review the plan that was on display. Several copies of the plan were reviewed by the audience. Mr. Mel Swanson, 1778 Ridgewood Drive stated that the extension of Ridgewood Drive could cause damming and could create water problems on the rear yards of properties along Ridgewood Drive. He asked why access to this parcel could not be had from the higher ground off of Delaware Avenue. Chairperson Kruse advised the audience that the ponding needs would be carefully studied to avoid creating a damming effect. Ms. Jane Zaspel, 1792 Ridgewood Drive asked who will be assessed for any improvements. She also asked what the size requirements of the R -1B zoning are. Chairperson Kruse responded that the lots being subdivided would be assessed and that the R -1B zoning requires 30,000 square feet per lot. Mr. Donald Derauf, 600 W. Wentworth, asked how much building space would be left south of the silt fence on Lot 7. Ms. Naren Bauer, 1759 Ridgewood Drive, asked if any consider- ation had been given to the aesthetics of the road and if any consideration had been given to the ecological system of the marsh that they had recently purchased from Mrs. Grappen- dorf. Mr. Terry Erdrich, 1737 Delaware, asked if he would be requi to hook up to the new sewer system after it is in place. Planning Commission Minutes, October 23, 1984 Page Three Mr. Arthur Partridge, 1775 Delaware advised that tremendous amounts of water flow through the area in the spring and asked if a water study had been made yet. Mr. Paul Pontinen, 1760 Ridgewood Drive, asked what would happen to the existing cul-de-sac of Ridgewood. Would it be straightened out or left as is. Mr. Mel Swanson, 1778 Ridgewood Drive asked who would pay for a bridge and who would maintain it if it was required as part of the Ridgewood Drive extension. Mr. Fred Bradford, 1673 Delaware asked for more time to examine the plan and asked the Planning Commission to withhold judge- ment to allow more time for the neighbors to study the plan. Commissioner Stefani felt that there were too many unanswer- able questions to this plan. Mr. Tom Mairs, 1707 Delaware felt that there may be very wet basements if this proposed plan is allowed to proceed and respectfully requested that the City maintain its current existing code of 40,000 square foot lot sizes in this area. Mr. Donald Bauer, 1759 Ridgewood Drive, objected to the extension of Ridgewood Drive, as he felt it would not benefit hi property at all. Mr. Swanson also voiced his opposition to the reduced lot sizes. Chairperson Kruse asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of the proposal. No one spoke. Mr. Mike Gustafson, who has apparently purchased or will be purchasing Mrs. Grappendorf's home, asked for consideration of her lot as a separate issue. Planner Dahlgren advised the Commission that if consideration to her lot and to Lot 1, Block 1, were given, then the interior lots would be extremely difficult to rezone or subdivide. It should all be considered as one package, not split into separate issues. Mr. Floyd Unruh, realtor, stated that assessments against the property could run from about $19,000 to $28,000 per lot, depending on if Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, were combined into two larger lots. There being no further questions orcomments from the audience, Commissioner Burke moved to close the public hearing at 9:15 P.T Commissioner Morson seconded the motion. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 1 Planning Commission Minutes, October 23, 1984 Page Four Commissioner Frank moved to recommend denial of the rezoning and the subdivision as proposed. Commissioner Henning seconded the motion. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 CASE #84-22, LENCOWSKI, Mrs. Gwen Lencowski was present to request approval of a VARIANCE variance for the lot size of Lot 6, Block 2, Guadalupe Heights. The lot is 1,670 feet short of the required 10,500 square feet for a lot platted prior to present zoning ordinance requirements, and the proposed home fits on the lot without requiring any further variances. After a brief discussion, Commissioner Morson moved to recommenc approval of the variance for lot size as requested. Commissioner Stefani seconded the motion. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 CASE 484-23, BJORKLUND, Mr. Richard Bjorklund, Jr. was present to request several VARIANCE variances that would allow him to construct a home at 1717 Sutton Lane, or Lot 2, Block 1, Somerset Park No. 3. He had written approval from his adjoining neighbors and also showed several photographs of homes in the neighborhood with setback variances. After some discussion, Commissioner Stefani moved to recommend approval of: 1. A 19 foot rear yard setback variance to allow the southerly corner of the garage to be 11 feet from the rear property line; 2. A six foot front yard setback variance, which is needed due to established setbacks of existing homes; 3. A two foot side yard (abutting a street) variance, also due to established setbacks of existing homes. Commissioner Burke seconded the motion.

The property is zoned R-lA, thus the required setback is 50 feet in front. The ordinance states that the maximum sign size is 12 square feet, or about 3 fee" by 4 feet. Mr. Just advised that the present sign is not illuminated, but the new proposed sign will be illuminated from two ground floodlights. Pastor Henderson was also present and noted that the position Planning Commission Minutes, October 23, 1984 Page Five Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 VERBAL REVIEW ADJOURN Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 and size of the sign has been given much study and they felt that this was the best solution to their problem.

Respectfully submitted, Alan Singer Secretary T H CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO nOctober 18, 1984 L ;� TO: Mayor, City Council and City T ' strator FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Treasurer SUBJECT: 1985 Financing Considerations Equipment Certificates Based on 1984 Expenditures and the 1985 Budget, we would require an issue of about $225,000. These would normally be issued in December 1984; however, with a major portion ($95,000) dependent on the proposed radio system replacement, I would prefer to hold off issuance until later in the year 1985. The total amount can still be financed with the approximate 1 mill rate we have used in the past for equipment purchases. The top estimated rate in 1987 would be 1.10 mills. Improvement Bonds We have one temporary issue outstanding in the amount of $1,400,000 which matures May 1, 1985. The issue would be reduced by $600,000, representing the funds for the Amesbury Project which did not proceed and increased by the amount necessary to finance the Gryc Project. I would suggest the sale for about February 1, 1985, at this time. Tax Anticipation Certificates After January 1, a study of the amount of certificates which can be issued will be made and if advantageous, the certificates can be issued prior to April 1, 1985. Other Financing Several Improvement and Tax Increment projects are currently under study which could require long-term financing if they proceed. These can be considered as they reach completion stage. Action None at this time, information only. 1 r Year 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 Deficit (12/31/83) EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATE ISSUE June 1985 2,833.52 1984 Purchases 75,000 5,800.00 1985 Budget 35,000 1985 Radio System 95,000 205,000.00 Total 208,000.00 Expense 3,500.00 Discount Issue 2,400.00 Interest -0- 16,900.00 Less Vehicle Sales Issue Existing Equip.

Danielson, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Case No. 84-21, Grappendorf Proposed Hearing DISCUSSION Attached is a letter from Paul McGinley, Mrs. Grappendorf's surveyor, requesting that their preliminary plat, which was recommended for disapproval by the Planning Commission at their October 23 meeting, be sent back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration. They are presently redesigning the plat in an attempt to address the concerns that were brought out at the Planning Commission's public hearing. They feel that they can redesign the plat so that they will no longer need to rezone the land. Staff, in anticipation of Council granting the request to continue the hearing, has sent notices to the affected property owners alerting them to the request and telling them that Council will, no doubt, send the matter back to the November Planning Commission meeting on November 27th, at 8:00 P.M. and continue the Council consideration to December 4th. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council grant the developer's request and return the matter to the November 27th Planning Commission meeting and continue the Council con- sideration to December 4, 1984. ACTION REQUIRED If Council wishes to implement staff recommendation, it should direct staff to place the Grappendorf preliminary plat on the November Planning Commission meeting and continue the public hearing to December 4, 1984. JED:madlr CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS NOTICE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: November 1, 1984 We have received written notice from Mrs. Grappendorf's developer that they are redesigning their plans for her preliminary plat and are asking that they be reconsidered by the Planning Commission at the November 27th Planning Commission meeting. Staff expects that the City Council will grant this request at the November 8th Council meeting, and that no action will be taken by the City Council on November 8th. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Jim Danielson, Public Works Director, at 452-1086. The public hearing scheduled for November 8th will probably be opened by the City Council and probably be continued to December 4th.

It was discussed at that meeting, that approval of the first variance was tied into all three lots. The feelings from that first approval was that if the lots required no other variances, the size variance would be approved. Mr. and Mrs. Lencowski have purchased the second of the Mike lots and because the lot is not legal size, have conditioned their purchase upon the City granting a variance. Staff has reviewed the Lencowski's proposed site plan and have found that the new home fits on the lot without requiring any further variances. Staff has also calculated the lot's square footage to be approximately 8,830 square feet, which is 1,670 square feet short of the required 10,500 square feet for a lot platted prior to present zoning ordinance requirements. RECOMMENDATION Staff can see no technical reasons to deny this variance request and recommends approval subject to Planning Commission review. JED/PRB:madlr r .,",PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: 23 October 1984 84- 22 Thomas Lencowski LQCATION: South Side of Simard Street T1I N`,,ZEQUESTED: Variance to Lot Size Requirement • •Y } V'' PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1:' ,This property is one of the three lots that was discussed at the last meeting with respect to a variance to the lot size. You will recall that these lots are owned by Fred Mike and at the last meeting, Lot 7 was approved for development. 2. The Ordinance requires that where existing lots platted prior to the adoption of the Ordinance in 1962 are less than 70 percent of the current requirements, that a variance is required before a building permit can be issued. Lot 6 of the property in question has 79.8 feet of frontage at the right-of-way line and thus is slightly below the 70 percent if measured at the 30 foot setback line. Of the 15,000 square feet required, 70 percent is 10,500 square feet and Lot 6 has 8,778 square feet. Thus, the variance is required. 3. Attached is a copy of the site plan indicating the manner in which the proposed home is to be constructed by the applicant. This site plan conforms with all ordinance requirements, including the 10 foot side yard setback on each side. Thus, it is demonstrated that the lot can be developed without variances. 4. You will recall at the last meeting when we discussed Lot 7 that we actually talked about all three inasmuch as if there were going to be revisions in the lot lines, it would have to be done prior to a commitment on Lot 7. Thus, it would appear that a decision on Lot 6 was made when Lot 7 was approved. The good news is that the applicant can build a residence on the lot without having to resort to a variance to the Ordinance space requirements.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS i MEMO TO: Planning Commission October 18, 1984 FROM: James Danielson and Paul Berg Public Works Director Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: CASE 484-23, BJORKLUND, JR. Rear Yard Variance Request DISCUSSION Mr. Bjorklund is proposing to construct his new residence on Lot 2, Block 1, Somerset Park #3. This lot is a corner lot with frontage on Sutton Lane and Trail Road. Because this is a corner lot, there would be two locations where Mr. Bjorklund could orient the front of his proposed home. However, because of the design of his house with a walkout feature to the rear and the existing topography, the front of the house needs to face Sutton Lane. Trail Road functions as his legal front yard since it is the shortest lot dimension abutting a street, causing the house as located on his site plan, to encroach on his legal rear lot line by 19 feet. The house as it is proposed leaves ample room for a backyard opposite Sutton Lane. Planning Commission should also note that there are existing homes on adjacent lots with established front yard setbacks. •1746 Trail Road (Lot 3, Block 1, Somerset Park #3) has a front yard setback of 44 feet and 1723 Sutton Lane (Lot 1, Block 1, Somerset Park #3) has an established front yard setback of 36 feet. A six foot front yard setback variance and a two foot sideyard variance are needed due to established setbacks of existing homes. RECOMMENDATION Staff feels that this home is appropriately sited on the lot and subject to Planning Commission concurrence, recommends the granting of: 1. A 19 foot rear yard setback variance. 2. A 6 foot front yard setback variance. 3. A 2 foot side yard (abutting a street) variance. (See attached layout map of three lots involved.)

The parcel in question at 1717 Sutton Lane is proposed to be developed by the applicant. Attached is a site plan indicating the proposed location of the house with attached garage and deck. 2. The problem here is that the legal front of the lot on a corner lot is the frontage with the least dimension. This lot has 100 feet of frontage on Trail Road and 150.44 feet of frontage on Sutton Lane. Thus, the front is on Trail Road, and the rear (being opposite the front) is on the west side of the lot. 3. The rear yard setback requirement is 30 feet and Mr. Bjorklund proposed to place the southerly corner of the garage 11 feet from the rear property line. Thus, a variance is required in this case. We have suggested to Mr. Bjorklund that he discuss this with the contiguous land owner to the east, and obtain his written approval if possible. This problem is common on corner lots, and in some cities, the Ordinance allows for the owner or developer to select which frontage will be considered the front yard. In most cities, however, the narrowest frontage is considered the legal front yard, thus creating this problem in some cases. You will note that the front corner of the garage (nearest the street) is approximately 24 feet from the lot line, thus, visually, the distance from the structure to the rear lot line will appear greater than the minimum 11 feet applied for at the southeast corner of the garage. HD :a TO: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS We the adjoining property owners to Lot 2 Bl 1- Somerset Park #3 approve the proposed plot plan showing side yard of 11 feet on Sutton Lane and rear yard setback of 43 feet on Trail Road. The submitted plot plan shows the house at the best location because of the walk -out nature of the lot.

Minor Conditional Use Permit Subdivision Approval Plan Approval Wetlands Permit r Other —77 GENERAL DISCUSSION Our church has historically had difficulty with people locating the church, especially new members and guests, but also many people who have been in the community for a long time who do not know our church. We have struggled for some time on how to get a sign that would have the location and visibility we desire. We feel our proposed sign is not only in the best location for optimum visibility, but because of the unique geometric characteristics of the area, is the only location. The steep, wooded hill adjacent to our property very effectively screens out our church and house, and makes location of a sign very difficult. The 90 foot right-of-way fronting our property results in an excessive distance between our "usuable" property and the road. We suggest you try to see our church from the highway by starting at Lexington Avenue and going eastbound past Mendakota Country Club, through the Dodd Road intersection and on past the church. (Remember that only one month ago when we were trying to locate our sign all trees were fully leaved and dense.) As you near the church, try to focus in on a location for a sign that is obvious and readable. We think you will agree there are only a few places that would be effective. Specific arguments for locating the sign in the proposed location follow. gPP(`TPTPq 1. The ordinance states that the maximum sign size is 12 square feet. This is equivalent to a 3 foot high by 4 foot wide sign, which is about the size used by realtors for selling_ homes or by politicians' election campaigns. This sign is _ clearly intended for a residential yard setting and is not compatible with use on a major, heavily travelled 4 -lane highway. Speed and traffic density alone would make use of a small sign dangerous, because it would take too long to focus on and read the sign. 2. To justify the use of a larger and higher sign, an analysis of the geometric conditions has been made. See attached site plan and profile sheets. The relationship of the highway right-of-way indicates the obstruction. The steep slope at the west edge of the church property (Station 4+30) prevents sight of anything near the ground on the church frontage (Station 0+00 to 4+30). This can also be seen by studying the site plan. The steep slope and trees prevent seeing the church property west of about Station 7+00. It is therefore necessary to construct a high sign that will be obvious as soon as possible as one travels eastward past the steep, wooded slope. In other words, it is necessary to draw attention to the sign before it is possible to read it. 3. The site plan shows the front right-of-way line, which ?is about 96 feet from the centerline of the eastbound lane. shown, the sign would be located with the front of the sign ":2 feet back of the right-of-way line. See detail showing ties to rights-of-way. This location was selected out of necessity. The minimum 50 foot setback for R-1 residential zoning is clearly unacceptable to us, as it would put the sign over 20 feet into the church parking lot. The sign needs to be as close to the highway right-of-way for these reasons: (1) To obtain the - visibility needed to be effective, (2) to keep the sign out of the parking lot, (3) to allow for storage of plowed snow, which is piled on the grassed area between the edge of parking lot and the right-of-way line, and (4) to make the sign as obvious to the public as possible. On this heavily travelled highway, we are obligated to distract the driver as little as possible in order to read the sign. This means getting the sign out front as far as possible, and making it obvious soon enough so the driver does not have to turn his head and search to find the sign. 4. The sign itself is 5 feet high, and the bottom of the sign is 4 feet above the ground. The sole reason for putting the sign 4 feet above ground is for visibility. Our old sign, located at the right-of-way line and about Station 2+00, had the bottom less than 1 foot from ground, and the top of the sign about 5 feet above ground. This sign was virtually unreadable because it was too close to the ground. It was decided that the new sign be at least 4 feet above ground to improve the sight characteristics and readibility. 5. The size of sign was based on experience gained from the previous sign. Larger letters, more space, and room for special announcements were criteria established. The church name is long and thus requires a large portion of the new sign. Lettering size needs to be set at 6 or 8 inches to be readable. Lettering used on normal highway signs is based on readability of 200 to 300 feet for 6 inch letters and 300 to 400 feet for 8 inch letters. Four inch letters are too small because they are readable only 100 to 200 feet. (These ratings are based 1WM on readability from a moving car and the distance decreases as vehicle speed increases.) For our sign we need a long sign because of our name, and we need the height to set up the sign so it is easily readable. SUMMARY To reiterate, we ned the sign to be readily visible, readable, and obvious in order to be effective. We also want it to be safe for the driver to use, but we feel that if the sign is in the right place and is the right size, it will be safe. The sign legs are staked out and flagged. If you wish to verify our concerns, you may drive past our church and see the site conditions surrounding this request for variance. -3- �1t L.. •�•• � •l� ;f ,tart i L I PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: 23 October 1984 84-24 Mendota Heights United Church of Christ South of Highway 110, Between Delaware Avenue and Trunk Highway 149 ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Variance to Sign Location PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Attached are drawings and a statement from representatives of the Church indicating the nature of their proposal and the reasons for applying for a variance to the sign location and size. The statement quite clearly indicates the nature of their problem and their proposed solution. 2. The Ordinance allows signs of an institutional nature in a residential district to be a maximum of 12 feet in area and to be placed beyond the front yard setback. The property owned by the Church and the area around it is zoned R-lA which has a 50 foot setback. This setback obviously was designed for single family residences which can be and are built in the R -1A district, which as you recall has a 40,000 square foot lot size and a lot frontage of 150 feet. On a typical street, the 12 foot size would be appropriate and is similar to church signs that are placed in residential areas placed around the Metropolitan Area. Here, of course, we have a more unusual situation with a church owning a relatively large tract of land fronting on a major trunk highway with a very wide right-of-way. In this case, the terrain in the area also has an impact on the effectiveness of the sign relating to its location and size. 3. Having just received this application with the data on Thursday, we have not had an opportunity to look at the site and view the stakes we suggested they place so as to assist the Planning Commission and Council in evaluating the merits of this proposal. However, we will do so prior to the Planning Commission meeting and we encourage the Planning Commission and Council members to look at the site prior to the meeting. 4. As you know, the land surrounding the Church site is owned by Mrs. Olivia Dodge, and is dedicated to a nature preserve. Thus, any impact on contiguous property owners is quite different in this case inasmuch as it is unlikely that there will be any development of structures on the property immediately contiguous to the east or west. However, the sign location and size should not be such that it would visually impair the effectiveness of the nature center preserve and its environment. 5. Thus, it would appear that the decision comes down to one of a reasonable size sign that can be seen from the highway, and in a location where it will serve its purpose. Under the circumstances, the best guide is to view the property and ascertain the reasonableness of the proposed location. We suggest that the location is more important than the actual J, t CASE NUMBER: 84-24 APPLICANT: Mendota Heights United Church of Christ Page 2 size inasmuch as the distance from the traveled portion of Highway 110 is such that the impact of size will be substantially reduced. Thus, adequacy of visibility from the east and west bound traffic is the critical factor. HD WINTHROP, WEINSTINE & SEXTON ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELLORS AT LAW SHERMAN WINTHROP 1800 CONWED TOWER ROBERT R.

DONGOSKE Mr. Kevin Frazell City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 Re: Firemen's Relief Association Dear Kevin: (612) 292-6110 I am writing at this time to summarize the present status of the above -captioned matter. As you know, we engaged in a rather lengthy series of negotia- tions with representatives of the State of Minnesota concerning the proposed amendments to the Bylaws of the Firemen's Relief Association. The validity or legality of the specific change in the pension plan to be made by the proposed amendment has not been questioned by the State. However, objections were raised initially to the type of investment which the Firemen are con- templating through Transamerica Insurance Company, namely, an insurance company co -mingled account. After some discussion, the State of Minnesota agreed that this investment vehicle was acceptable under the laws of this State. A new concern was then raised as to whether or not the investments which Transamerica would make with the Firemen's pension fund through the co - mingled account were of the type approved by Minnesota statutes. Transamerica was specifically asked to address this concern. Transamerica has advised that its investments will comply with the "intent" of Minnesota law. We have transmitted to you a copy of Transamerica's correspondence in this regard. Mr. Kevin Frazell November 2, 1984 Page 2 The State of Minnesota, after reviewing the aforesaid letter from Transamerica, has indicated that it will take no action at this time to withhold benefits or contributions from the City of Mendota Heights or the Firemen's Relief Association if the Firemen enter into the proposed contract with Transamerica. However, the State of Minnesota specifically reserved the right to take some action in the future if it is determined that the Transamerica investments do not comport with Minnesota law. As you know, we met with the Board of Trustees of the Mendota Heights Firemen's Relief Association to review this matter in detail. We advised the Board of Trustees concerning facts which are stated in this correspondence, and informed them that there are certain risks inherent in the proposed contract with Trans- america, namely, that at some point in the future the State of Minnesota may conclude that the types of investments being made by Transamerica do not comply with Minnesota law. The State may then take action to withhold contributions to the Firemen's Relief Association. We emphasized to the Board of Trustees that we were not making any specific recommendations concerning the manner in which the Firemen's Relief Association pension fund should be invested. We are not investment advisors, and did not attempt to fulfill that role. It is my understanding that the Board of Trustees want to proceed with the Transamerica contract. They perceive that the risks involved in executing the contract with Transamerica do not provide a basis for rejecting the contract at this time. We do not believe that it will be possible for the City of Mendota Heights to obtain a judicial declaration concerning the legality of the proposed amendment to the Bylaws or the proposed contract with Transamerica. Although the correspondence we received from Commerce Commissioner Hatch could have been more specific, it does not prohibit the City of Mendota Heights or the Firemen's Relief Association from adopting the amendment or proceeding with a proposed contract, and, accordingly, we have no "controversy" with the State on which to base a lawsuit. The original resolution adopted by the City Council approved,the amendment subject to receipt of a judicial declaration that it complied with Minnesota law. In light of the foregoing, we Mr. Kevin Frazell November 2, 1984 Page 3 understand the City Council will consider whether"or not to adopt a resolution approving the amendment without the aforesaid condition. We have prepared a proposed resolution for the City Council's consideration. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you or members of the City Council at your convenience. Please contact me if you have any questions. Very truly yours, WINTHR, NSTINE & SEXTON By- �'" David P.

Hatch October 4, 1984 Mr. David P. Pearson Winthrop, Weinstine & Sexton 1600 Conwed Tower 444 Cedar Street St. Paul, MN 55101 Dear Mr. Pearson: RECEIVED OCT 0 81984 DAVID P. KUM This letter is in response to your September 28, 1984 request that the State of Minnesota will not take any action regarding a proposed investment by the Mendota Heights Firemen's Relief Association in Transamerica Insur- ance Company. ` As you note in your letter, we do not normally issue "no action" letters pertaining to investments made on behalf of beneficiaries of a trust. On the other hand, since a municipality is making the request, we will give the courtesy of a reply. As your letter states, in order for a "no action" letter to be issued, Transamerica must state that its co - mingled account meets the investment requirements of Minnesota Statutes, specifically Minn. Stat. Section 11A, et. seq. The attachment to your letter from a Mr. Guelfo, Senior Pension Consultant with Transamerica, does not in- dicate such compliance. As noted in a telephone conver- sation between Mr. Hart (of your firm) and Mr. Bjork (of the Attorney General's Office), Mr. Guelfo's letter does, in fact, waffle as to the compliance with the statutes. Mr. Guelfo's letter states that the Transamerica contract complies with the intent of Statute 11A.24. In order for any "no action" letter to be issued, I am more concerned with whether Transamerica complies with the statute, rather than the "intent." Further, Mr. Guelfo states in his letter that neither he nor Transamerica Life will give legal ad - STATE OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 500 Metro Square Building. St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 p vise regarding compliance with the law, which is a sig- nificant hedge on the commitment. Accordingly, I can not give a "no action" letter. I can state, however, that this department does not pres- ently intend to take any action to withhold contributions to the city or the Relief Association, but should any evi- dence develop indicating that the agreement does not comply with Minnesota Statutes, I would have to take appropriate action. You should further be.advised that this issue as to Firemen's Relief Fund contributions is currently being administrered by the Department of Revenue, who will have authority regarding this issue after the next session. Very truly yours, Michael A. Hatch MAH: ss i r� 50, p ot&w Hel Zth.

I I[] CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO Pr October 30, 1984 trTO: Mayor, City Council and Ci y ifo FROM: Paul R. Berg, Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: Sign Permit, 1960 Dodd Road INTRODUCTION Mr. Ray Roemmich, of Suburban Lighting, Inc., has submitted drawings and a sign permit application, on behalf of Texaco, requesting a sign permit to remove all existing Getty signage at 1960 Dodd Road. HISTORY The original sign permit for this location (six feet away from the property lines adjacent to TH 110/149, see site plan), was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on October 27, 1971, and by the City Council on November 2, 1971. The next sign action for this property was approved by the Planning Commission on July 27, 1982, and by the City Council on August 3, 1982, granting approval for a new sign face and pricing signs. The above actions and approvals, including the Texaco request, are all due to oil company ownership changes. nTRrTTSSTnN Texaco is proposing to install a new plyon and sign with the Texaco logo. The pylon and sign will be erected and installed on the existing footing and sign base. The sign contains 45 square feet of sign area (six feet horizontal and 72 feet vertical), the distance of the base of the sign to grade is proposed to be 14 feet, and the total sign height from grade to top of sign will be 212 feet. This sign, as proposed, will meet the Zoning Ordinance requirements and be less than the maximum allowable 100 square feet of sign area in a B-2 zone. RECOMMENDATION c&ff recommends approval of the sign permit as requested, since the sign size, distance from bottom of sign to grade and total height are all in compli- ance with present B-2 zoning requirements. ACTION REQUIRED If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation to approve the requested sign permit, it should pass a motion recommending approval.

The drawings are for your early review KDF:madlr attachment CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO October 31, 1984 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. FrazeVt�Administrator i Z SUBJECT: CDBG Grant Application for Northend Street Improvements INTRODUCTION In early September, Council authorized the Dakota County HRA to conduct an income survey in the north end, for the purpose of determining whether we might apply for Community Development Block Grand funding to assist in street improve- ments. The survey provided an affirmative answer. A grant application in the amount of $70,000 is attached for Council consideration. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Dakota County now receives an "entitlement" under the federal Community Development Block Grant program, and has chosen to make most of it available to the cities, through the County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Mendota Heights and surrounding cities in the northern part of the County will receive a 1985 allocation of $380,000. Councilmember Witt serves on the committee that will be making funding decisions. A copy of the results of the HRA income survey is attached. Briefly,59 households, or 55% responded (which the HRA says is very good), and of that number 36 or 617 are eligible for assistance from CDBG funds. Councilmember Witt, Public Works Director Danielson, HRA Assistant Director Mark Ulfers, and I met on October 31 to discuss a possible grant application. We determined that a direct subsidy of special assessments to income eligible house- holds would be a permissible and desireable CDBG project. We are recommending to the Council a grant application in the amount of $70,000. This would provide $65,000 for a direct subsidy to approximately 50 house- holds (given the estimated $1,240 assessment per 80 foot lot), plus $5,000 of administrative cost to the HRA. HRA would handle all of the "paperwork", simply paying the City directly for all subsidized households at the time of adopting the assessment roll. The special assessment "subsidy" could be handled as a grant, or a loan. We are recommending that the program be structured as an interest-free loan, repayable at the time the recipient property is sold. This would provide a future "program incomd'that could be used for other CDBG eligible projects in Mendota Heights. However, this is a policy issue that rightfully should be decided by the Council. We are attempting to have Chippewa designated as a MSA street, to receive State Aid assistance in its repair. In the event we are unsuccessful, CDBG funds could also be used to pay for some of the excess costs of improving that collector street. - 2.- CDBG REQUIREMENTS There are three requirements for using CDBG funds: 1. The project must be competitively bid. 2. The successful contract bidder must pay prevailing area wages (Davis -Bacon). 3. Effort must be made to alert minority and female -owned firms of the bid. Dakota County HRA will administer items'2 and 3. COMPETITION FOR FUNDS As indicated above, $380,000 is available to our area. West St. Paul, South St. Paul, and Inver Grove Heights are also submitting applications totaling $410,000. With $480,000 in total requests, everyone's project is likely to be scaled back some. Even if we receive less than the $70,000, we feel there are ways to structure and prioritize subsidies to keep it a viable project. RECOMMENDATION It would appear that our application is viable, and would provide financial relief from assessments to low and moderate income households. Therefore, it is recommended that Council adopt the resolution authorizing submittal of the application and a request for funds in the amount of $70,000. ACTION REQUIRED Motion to adopt the attached resolution.

An income survey has documented the presence of many elderly and/or low to moderate income households in the Brief Description of Project affected area.

General description of the project (include project goals and importance to community): Approximately 114 miles of street in the north end area of Chippewa, Hiawatha, Fremont, Ellen, and Garden Lane were installed over 20 years ago, and of marginal design at the time; they have deteriorated to the point that routine maintenance is useless and unacceptably expensive. A July, 1984 public information meeting with the residents revealed that the cost of a major street reconstruction, storm sewer project was so expensive as to be unacceptable to the neighborhood. s an a ernative the City's Public Works Director suggested a 2"-21�" overlay, with limited base recon- struction. The cost is estimated to be $130,000, or about $1,240 to the average lot in the area. A fall 1984 area income survey (copy attached) indicated that a large number of households are of poverty, low, or moderate income levels, as defined in the UVBG program. Of the 59 households returning the survey, 36 or 61% were income eligib- The City proposes to use the grant funds in two ways. First, and primarily, (see attachment) Attachment funds would be used to pre -pay the special assessments of income eligible households. This subsidy would be in the form of an interest-free loan, repayable upon sale of the property. The repayments would generate future "program income" to be used by the City for other CDBG eligible activities. Second, any funds not needed for the direct subsidy would be applied toward the excess costs of improving Chippewa Street. It is 40 feet wide, rather than the standard 30 feet of residential streets. This would be a CDBG eligible expenditure, since the income survey revealed 61% of the area households to be income eligible. With an approximate 55% rate of return of the survey, it is assumed that, if grant funds actually become available, the actual number of households actually applying will be in excess of 50. -2- 6.

Statistical Conclusions A. There is a definite economic need for Community Development Block Grant funds as evidenced by the income levels of the surveyed residents. Of the•59 surveys returned, 36 or 61% indicated their incomes to be at poverty, low or moderate levels. B. Since the north end area is more than 51% low or moderate -income, it would meet the area -wide benefit test for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. This means that an application for funds would be eligible and fundable under the CDBG program. C. In the surveyed area, there is a definite interest in receiving Community Development Block Grant funds. Of the 58 respondents, 83% indicated intention to apply for funds if available. D. Of those households indicating intention to apply for funds, 60% would be income -eligible. It thus appears evident that, if granted, the funds would be utilized by north end residents. E. The survey area has a high proportion of elderly residents. In Mendota Heights, 298 of 2210 (13%) households are elderly. Of the 58 Mendota Heights North End residents, 62% were elderly households. F. The survey area is composed of older housing. Of the surveys returned, 31% of the dwelling units were over 41 years old and 84% were over 21 years of age. G. Nearly all of the respondents (97%) were homeowners.

Swanson City Clerk CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO T0: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fraze � iy City Admini ator November 1, 1984 SUBJECT: Date for Workshop Concerning Garron Development The attached memo discusses the possibility of Council convening a workshop on Tuesday, November 27th, for the purpose of studying the issues surrounding the proposed development by Garron Corporation at the end of the Mendota Bridge. Since the writing of that memo, it has become apparent that the Planning Commission agenda for that evening is also likely to be quite heavy. Therefore, it will be impossible for us to adequately staff both meetings simultaneously. Therefore, it will be necessary for us to select another date, perhaps Wednesday, the 28th, or Thursday, the 29th. I will be talking to Steve Gage of Garron Corporation early next week to find out what nights his people would be available. 0 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Fr E City Adm' strator SUBJECT: Garron Project INTRODUCTION October 29, 1984 As Council will likely recall, Garron Corporation has purchased the Gould property located at the end of the Mendota Bridge.. Earlier this year, they petitioned the City for a feasibility report for public improvements. A preliminary draft of that report is attached. Because of the complexity of this development, and the number of policy issues surrounding it, it is recommended that Council convene a workshop/study session for Tuesday, November 27th. RAC:KCMnMM The site in question is probably one of the most unique in the City. Located on the hillside near the TH 13/110 intersection, the site offers a panoramic view of the metropolitan area, and also is highly visible to traffic coming across the Mendota Bridge. The development on this land will undoubtedly become one of the strongest visual images of Mendota Heights. In many ways, it will be our "front door". Garron has acquired the site with the intention of building 100,000 - 150,000 square feet of prime office space, and hopes to attract a,corpor- ate headquarters as an anchor tenant. Despite the site's striking amenities, it also has constraints. Airport safety zoning, as well as City zoning criteria, limit building heights. The site is surrounded by cemetery property and existing residences that will make it difficult to assess the costs of public improvements. Although existing zoning is appropriate, the Comprehensive Plan shows it as High Density Residential, so a Plan amendment would be required. Meeting parking requirements for a large building would likely necessitate "double -deck" parking which could make the project financially unfeasible; this raises the question of a possible tax increment subsidy in order to achieve a more desireable project. A tax increment subsidy will definitely be necessary to install public improvements. DISCUSSION This will be one of the most major and complex developments in the City's history. It will also be the most significant proposal for the use of tax incre- ment financing for a private development. Therefore, the City staff and developer have agreed that prior to any Council consideration of any formal action, a work- shop should be held to review, in a comprehensive way, all of the public policy issues surrounding this development, and how Council feels about them. - 2 - If Council concurs with the workshop request, staff would prepare the following reports for discussion at the meeting: 1. Feasibility of public improvements - (preliminary draft attached). 2. A planning case report dealing with issues such as zoning, variance, Comprehensive Plan, parking, impact on surrounding land uses, etc. 3. An analysis of potential tax increment district uses and revenues. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the need for a study session, it should set a meeting for Tuesday, November 27th, or a more convenient alternate date. • CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: Edward F. Kishel City Engineer October 23, 19 4 �� `SUBJECT= Feasibility Report Public Utilities'- Garron Property - Acacia Area Job No. 8420 Improvement No. 84, Project No. 2 INTRODUCTION: Mr. Steve E. Gage, of the Garron Corporation, requested that a feasibility report be prepared for the installation of public utilities to serve a piece of property on the north side of Acacia Cemetery adjacent to Pilot Knob Road, where ® a business headquarters is being proposed. T\TOOTIQQTAXT. In the process of determining how the property in question can be served with public utilities, a series of related conditions became apparent. They are indicated as follows: 1. The extension of City water causes a longer deadend line than now exists, resulting in the need to consider a loop closure from Pilot Knob Road to Lexington Avenue by way of S.T.H. Highway 55 and 110. 2. Development of the Garron site will require a public sewage lift station and the possibility of a water booster pump by the Developer, if a high rise building is proposed. 3. The extension of Pilot Knob Road north of Acacia Boulevard, a county road, will require cooperation and financial participation from the Dakota County Highway Department. 1 4. A study in this southwest section of the City should give consideration to the determination of how public services can be furnished to the Furlong Addition, and vicinity, on the easterly side of S.T.H. 55. 5. Any development in this area has to be tied in with Mn/DOT's construc- tion of highway development south of the Mendota Bridge. Consideration of the above items, as part of the development of the Garron site, is necessary because it will involve public utility completion in one of the few remaining undeveloped portions of the City. Providing public utilities to this part of the City falls within the Tax Increment District and it is necessary to look at the entire district to determine if and how the allocation of T.I.D. Funds will be needed and allocated. Because of the funding and the need for timing with state highway construc- tion, it is apparent that public utility construction in this vicinity will have to be done in stages. Serving the Garron site is number one. Other segments will depend on Mn/DOT and on required localized needs, as well as financing. For the purpose of this report, stage construction will be considered as follows: STAGE I: CARRON SITE - Along Pilot Knob Road -- This development will require the extension of existing water and sewer lines northward along Pilot Knob Road from LeMay Avenue. It will require the construction of Pilot Knob Road north of Acacia Boulevard, as well as the construction of storm sewers which will include a holding pond. These are as shown on the attached drawing. Stage I construction is essential to early development of the Garron site and can be completed prior to Mn/DOT construction in the vicinity. STAGE I _ ESTIMATED COST -- Including Overhead, Fees and Contingencies Sanitary Sewers $232,094.00 Watermains 98,938.00 Storm Sewers 50,462.00 Streets 88,860.00 Estimated Total $470,354.00 Deduct County Road Participation 48,873.00 Estimated Assessable Amount $421,481.00 2 The above estimated costs include a sewage lift station and force main, a storm sewer holding pond and street construction. Because of the limited amount of assessable frontage for the size of the project, some sort of special financing arrangements will be required. At this time it is staff's suggestion that assessment rates, based on estimated construc- tion costs, be established for parcels with normal front footage and that larger -,buildable sites be assessed for sanitary sewer construction according to their developable capabilities and need for special construction. For the purpose of anticipating potential assessments for specific parcels as part of the First Stage construction, it is Staff's suggestion that, for sanitary sewer construc- tion, benefited properties be assessed on a front foot basis as well as a square ' foot basis for large parcels which have developable property located more than 150 feet from the street property line. This is being done because sewers will ® be available to this property when it becomes developable. Sanitary sewer assessments are also being separated into "Low" and "High" benefited areas to the existing gravity sewer system versus areas connected to the lift station collection system. Conforming with previous assessment methods, it is estimated that there will be approximately 4,443 feet of front footage for sewer and water extensions and approximately 747,400 square feet of additional area for the determination of sanitary sewer assessments. Storm sewer assessments will be determined on the area contributing to the need for storm sewers. Street construction will be based on the front footage abutting the newly constructed street. It is anticipated that Acacia Cemetery Association will request the deferr- ment of any assessments made against cemetery properties, dedicated for burial purposes or not. It is also anticipated that deferrments will be requested by M.A.C. and other private parties based on lack of benefit at this time. It is here where T.I.D. funds may have to be used. 3 For the purpose of evaluating possible assessment rates and potential finan- cing, staff is establishing unit rates, based on estimated costs for this pro- ject, as follows: Sanitary Sewers - High Benefited Land $59.17 per assessable foot Sanitary Sewers - Low Benefited Land $31.73 per assessable foot Trunk Sanitary Sewers - $ 0.03 per assessable square ft. (for property deeper than 150 ft. back of property line) Watermains - $24.12 per assessable foot Trunk Water - $ 0.05 per assessable square ft. Storm Sewers - $ 0.085 per square foot Streets - $15.38 per assessable foot (County Share - $18.80 per foot) Therefore, based on the above criteria, a normal 15,000 square foot residen- tial assessment is estimated to be about $8,500.00 per parcel. Using the above criteria for larger parcels or greater ownership, staff h determined that as of today, the Acacia Cemetery Association is likely to be assessed a total of $290,891.00 for all improvements. Approximately $144,095.00 will be against dedicated cemetery and $146,796.00 will be against non -dedicated cemetery property. A representative of the Association has already indicated that they would be requesting a deferrment of the assessments until utilities are needed or a major portion of cemetery property is developed. Following the same criteria, staff has determined that the Garron properties will be assessed an estimated $89,370. Other potential assessable properties could bring in approximately $41,220.00, resulting in the following summary: Estimated Total Project Cost - Estimated Income: Acacia Cemetery 4 $290,891.00 $470,354.00 c Garron Properties 89,370.00 Other Properties 41,220.00 County Street Participation 48,873.00 Estimated Total #$332,111.00 *#$138,243.00 $470,354.00 * Estimated Balance to be financed by T.I.D. ** Exceeds minimum 20% of total improvement cost, therefore able to be done ,,under Statute 429. This proposed project represents the first major application of the Tax , Increment District (T.I.D.) to assist in the financing of an unusually costly and limited assessable project. The City was faced to some extent with this in the development of Phase I of the M.A.C. project, however, this report addresses one of the principal reasons for the establishment of the T.I.D. As the Tax Increment District was put together, it was felt that where unusual projects were considered, that unusual methods of payment should be considered. It is intended that the Tax Increment be used to subsidize improvement to make projects of this type possible. The actual improvement will be carried out as a 429 Improvement within the T.I.D. with annual allotment of increment necessary to make up full payment on the borrowed funds. The district is and will, in the future, be financially able to take care of finances required, particularly if anticipated development takes place. Subsequent, Phases 2, 3, and 4, will be considered in a similar manner as future improvements are made. 5 STAGE II: WATER LOOP CONNECTION -- Pilot Knob Road to Lexington Avenue This proposed segment of construction requires the installation of a 12 in, water loop from Pilot Knob Road to Lexington Avenue. It is part of the master water plan for the City that has been put off for several reasons. Justification for the need for such extension has been valid for some time but the ability to physically install a pipe line has been held up until Mn/DOT has established and implemented a plan for highway construction in that vicinity. Cooperation with Mn/DOT will be necessary to locate the pipeline in a frontage road proposed for the south side of Highway 55 and 110 as shown on the attached drawing. For informational purposes, approximately 500 feet of the proposed 12 inch water extension on the south side of S.T.H. 110 will be going through the City of Mendota, a segment of which extends into Resurrection Cemetery, as shown on the drawing. Actual installation will have to wait for Mn/DOT construction, estimated t - be started in 1988. Based on 1984 construction costs, the work is estimated to cost $385,925. This includes some $25,000 for a limited amount of sanitary sewers along Acacia Boulevard east of Pilot Knob Road. Here again, the assessable cost will greatly exceed the amount that can be received from assessments. This difference will have to be made up by the use of T.I.D., or other funds. STAGE III: PILOT KNOB ROAD This segment will include the extension of watermains to complete a loop on Pilot Knob Road. It will also require a cased highway crossing, but not until the rough grading of Highway 13 at Pilot Knob Road has been completed. The estimated cost of installing a 12 inch watermain on Pilot Knob Road from south of proposed Highway 13 to LeMay Avenue is $191,688. This includes an incased highway crossing, street restoration and oversize pipe, the total of D which is estimated to be almost 60% of the above estimated cost. Here again, the available assessable frontage is limited and the construc- tion will be high. It will be necessary to use outside or other, funds (T.I.D) to absorb the costs that cannot be directly assessed. STAGE IV: FURLONG ADDITION AND ALONG HIGHWAY 55 ACACIA BLVD. TO MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD For the past several years, residents of the Furlong Addition and vicinity have expressed concern regarding the adequacy of their private sanitary sewer and water systems. In 1975, the Council directed a sewer and water study for the Furlong area which indicated that although it was physically possible to install public utilities to serve the area, the costs were too great to handle on a direct assessment basis and the matter was dropped. Now with T.I.D. funds avail- able, this matter should be reconsidered and revived when Mn/DOT becomes involved with highway reconstruction. To do the work as shown on the attached drawing, will cost an estimated $518,168 for sanitary sewers and $220,500 for water extensions. This includes overhead, fees and contengencies. Here again, it is estimated that only 1/3 of the total cost might be recovered from assessments. Therefore an estimated $500,000 will have to come from other sources, namely, Tax Increment District., ALTERNATIVES Although this report has given consideration to several proposed utility projects, it appears that all but one depend upon highway construction by Mn/DOT, and all of which appear to be several years away. Therefore, the only alterna- tive for this project is to install utilities and construct a street to serve the Garron site along Pilot Knob Road. It so happens that the proposed Garron site development instigated this report and is in need of the facilities as soon as possible. 7 RECOMMENDATION It is therefore recommended that the Council receive and approve this report and take the necessary steps to order the installation of public utilities to serve the Garron site first, while waiting for Mn/DOT to move on highway con- struction implementation. This will permit the City to establish utility exten- sions as individual conditions develop. ACTION REQUIRED If Council agrees with staff recommendation a public hearing date should be set as soon as possible and a motion should be made adopting Resolution No. 84- , Resolution Accepting Engineer's Report and Calling For Hearing on Proposed Sanitary Sewer, Water, Storm Sewer, and Street Improvements to Serve the Garron Property (Improvement No. 84, Project No. 2) E:3 •t . ,n• CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO ,11 TO: Mayor, City Council and City �inistrator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Wachtler Avenue Wall Failure Evergreen Knoll (Gryc) Change Order No. 1 Job No. 8313 Improvement No. 83, Project No. 4 INTRODUCTION: October 31, 1984 Evergreen Knoll is a residential development project located north of the Par 3 Golf Course adjacent to Dodd Road. It is being developed by Jim Gryc in two phases. Phase I of the project, located on the westerly portion of the site, is landlocked and in order to obtain access, it is necessary to develop Wachtler Avenue south from its intersection with Wentworth Avenue. DISCUSSION• In designing Wachtler Avenue south from Wentworth, it was determined that if nominal fill section were used, street grades would be at maximum limits. If nominal street grades were to be used, sideslopes to the west would be steep and extend into private as well as park property. Proposed side slopes necessitated the removal of a number of mature trees, and an existing creek on City park property would have to be relocated. In negotiating easements with Mr. Hanson, the property owner, it was necessary to agree to try to eliminate the side slopes by installing a timber landscape wall, a type which has been successfully used in the City on a number of previous occasions. Staff designed the wall and included it in the project plans and specifica- tions. Shortly after construction, the wall began to move and finally collapsed, presumably from height and some heavy rain falls which occurred during and after construction causing erosion and soil saturation. Subsequent to the wall failure, Staff retained the services of an outside structural engineer to evaluate options for replacement of the wall. After considerable review, he reported as follows: 1. Concrete and Metal Crib Wall 2. Cantilevered Sheet Piling 3. Concrete Retaining Wall 4. Tied Sheet Piling Wall $160,000 160,000 200,000 100,000 The original wood timber wall was bid at approximately $18,000. 1 It was obvious to Staff that the above suggested walls were far too expen- sive for the project and in as much as permanent and construction easements had been obtained from Mr. Hanson, staff reconsidered the slope embankment design ani found that it could be done within the easements, although more trees needed to be removed. The property owner was contacted and the situation explained. He concurred with the use of a fill slope embankment if additional tree landscaping is included. After Staff designed a slope embankment to replace the failed wall, Change Order No. 1 was prepared and submitted to the Contractor (Orfei & Sons, Inc.) for approval. A copy is attached hereto. Not included on the Change Order are 3,500 cubic yards of free fill material that will be furnished by Johnson Brothers at no cost to the City and who will also furnish a loader if it is not being used elsewhere on their project. The availability of Johnson Brothers` loader can vary the number of units required under Item No. 4 in the Change Order. Schedule permitting, City trucks may be used to haul fill material reducing the amount of needed truck rental time. Item No. 7 is likely to be omitted because Staff has determined that new trees can be purchased and installed cheaper than the amount bid in the Change Order. The City Public Works Staff has already begun to salvage portions of the existing wall and will store the salvaged materials in the Water Tower for future use somewhere else in the City. ALTERNATIVES• 1. Construct a new structural wall, the least of which is estimated to cost approximately $100,000. 2. Construct a slope embankment on existing easements as suggested in Change Order No. 1, at an estimated cost of $18,000 or less. RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels that all reasonable efforts have been made to preserve as many existing trees as possible and to maintain the original creek alignment. These efforts have apparently failed. It is now recommended that Change Order No. 1 be approved authorizing the construction of a 1-1/2 to 1 sloped embankment. Mr. Hanson has already signed the slope easement and approves of this method of construction. Staff has assured Mr. Hanson that a row of evergreens will-be placed near the top of the slope next spring. The proposed embankment, although fairly steep, will be safe and will be relatively maintenance free. In the matter of financing the work covered in Change Order No. 1, staff is recommending as follows: 1. Because of the need to obtain easements to construct a roadway in a difficult location, staff found it necessary to utilize the wall construction method for protecting the roadway. 2. Having failed, it was then necessary to revert to the next best method, namely, slope embankment. 2 3. Because the project is assuming the cost of failed wall construction, it is staff's recommendation that the cost of Change Order No. 1, and related costs, be carried on Engineering Enterprise Fund. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation, it should pass a motion waiving the public hearing requirement for a wetlands permit and should grant the City a permit to relocate the creek alignment located on park property. Council should then pass a motion approving Change Order No. 1 to Improvement No. 83, Project No. 4, and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute the document on behalf of the City. a CITY OF ME'NDOTA HEIGHTS 750 SOUTH PLAZA DRIVE MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 55120 ORDER FOR A CHANGE IN CONTRACT To: Orfei & Sons, Inc. 11-56 Homer Street Saint Paul, Minnesota 55116 Subject: CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 Sewers, Water, Streets Evergreen Knoll Job No. 8314 Improvement No. 83, Project No. 4 ORFEI & SONS, INC.

One of Lerbs' responsibilities as Assistant Chief has been to act as a Fire Department liaison with the City Council and staff. As such, Bill attends most Council and staff meetings. Although Bill does not wish to continue as Assistant Chief, Chief Noack and I have requested that he continue to serve the liaison function; he has agreed. As Council is aware, John Maczko is also an Assistant Chief, so even with Bill's resignation, the Department has a full complement of officers. I continue to meet with Department officers every other Tuesday evening, and one of our up- coming discussions will be whether there is a need for a second Assistant Chief. I delayed in submitting Mr. Lerbs resignation until the issue of his future role was clarified. With that completed, I discontinued his Assistant Chief pay on Friday, October 26th.

Three of the roads will be City streets and two of those already have names: Mendota Heights Road (east of Dodd) and Visitation Drive. The third is a short cul-de-sac serving three homes in the southwest quadrant of Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road. The state has been referring to that road as the: Condon cul-de-sac. Staff needs to put a street name sign on the road soon so an official name needs to be arrived at. Staff suggests that a good candidate could be "Condon Court", to be consistent with our street naming policy. ACTION REQUIRED Council needs to designate a name for the new cul-de-sac serving the homes in the southwest quadrant of Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Stop Signs at Lexington and Mendota Heights Road nTcrttccTnu Mn/DOT will be finishing the Dodd Road bridge over I-494 this fall and Mendota Heights Road will then revert back to a City street. Mn/DOT has inquired as to whether or not the City wants to continue the all -way stop at Mendota Heights Road and Lexington. If we do, an ordinance providing for it will need to be adopted. The warrants for an all -way stop are not being met there and the traffic will decrease. Mn/DOT made the intersection all -way stop because of a sight distance problem looking west on Mendota Heights Road from Lexington. Mn/DOT has improved that situation, but it is still not up to standards. RECOMMENDATION Both the Police Chief and I feel that because of the continuing sight distance problem, the all -way stop should remain. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs, they should pass a motion to add this intersection to the ordinance revision prepared for Mears and Dorset.
