CTTY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY.�VIINNESOTA PLANNING CONIlVIISSION/CITY COUNCIL CELLULAR/PCS ANTENNAE ORDINANCE JOINT WORKSHOP MINUTES APRIL 19.�997 The 7oint Workshop of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission and the Mendota Heights City Council was held on Saturday, April 19, 1997, in the Large Conference Room at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve. The meeting was called to order at 8:15 AM. The following Commissioners were present: Betlej, Duggan, Friel, Tilsen, and Lorberbaum. The following Councilmembers were present: Smith, Koch, Krebsbach, and Mayor Mertensotto. Commissioners Dwyer and Koll and Councilmember Huber were excused from the meeting. Also present were City Administrator Kevin Batchelder and Administrative Assistant Patrick C. Hollister. INTRODUCTIONS Mr. Batchelder welcomed everyone to the Workshop and introduced the participants. PRESENTATION OF ISSUE Mr. Hollister said that the PCS/Cellular Moratorium expires December 3, 1997, and that the purpose of the Workshop was to discuss the creation of a Cellular/PCS Tower and Antennae Ordinance. Mr. Hollister provided a brief history of Cellular/PCS antennae and towers in the City of Mendota Heights and showed a map of where current Cellulaz/PCS Antennae are within the City. Mr. Hollister then summarized the impact of the 1996 Telecommunications Act on Mendota Heights. Mr. Hollister also said that ISD 197 was willing to accommodate more antennae at Sibley High School. DISCUSSION OF GOALS The Workshop participants discussed the goals of a Cellular/PCS Ordinance: 1. To protect the aesthetic qualities of the community by requiring tower and antennae equipment to be screened from properties within viewing distance of the site and to be designed in a manner to blend in with the surroundings and compliment existing structures. 5. To maYimi7e the use of existing and approved free-standing antennae towers and buildings for new wireless telecommunication antennas to minimi�e the number of free-standing antennae towers needed to serve the community, through co-location. 3. To avoid potential damage to adjacent properties and personal injury from tower collapse through structural standards and setback requirements. 4. To comply with federal mandates by accommodating the communication needs of ` residents and businesses while protecting the public health, safety and general welfaze of the community. ,�- - �-- DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE The Workshop Participants discussed the following sections of the model ordinance: Purpose Section Definitions Building-Mounted Antennae Free-Standing Antennae Aesthetics Safety Accessory Structures Other The Council then directed Staff to amend the draft ordinance based upon their comments and include the new draft in the next Friday packet for review by the Council and the Planning Commission. The Council also planned to hold a public hearing on the final draft of the Ordinance at a Council meeting in May of 1997. OTHER ITEMS The Council directed Mr. Batchelder to write a draft response to the letter from the FCC for the Mayor's consideration. The Council agreed that the Ham Radio antennae were a distinct issue from Cellular/PCS antennae and should be addressed in a separate section of the Zoning Ordinance, to be written and enacted after adoption of the Cellular/PCS Ordinance.

Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 PRE-ARRIVAL Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator 1NSTRUCTIONS PROGRAM Batchelder regarding proposed agreements between the City of West St. Paul and Health East and West St. Paul and Dakota County for the addition of Emergency Medical Services Pre-Arrival Instructions service to the West St. Paul dispatching service. Mayor Mertensotto stated that there is no proposed contract between Mendota Heights and West St. Paul, but the model with Dakota County contains an automatic renewal clause. He stated that he does not want the city's agreement with West St. Paul to have automatic renewal, pointing out that the first yeaz is to be funded by Dakota County but there may not be funding in subsequent years. Councilmember Smith moved to authorize staff to negotiate a similaz type of contract to provide an Emergency Medical Services Pre-Arrival Instruction Agreement through the dispatching facility with the City of West St. Paul through 1997 with no automatic renewal. Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 POLICE DEPARTMENT Council acknowledged a memo from City Hall Building Manager REMODELING Guy Kullander requesting approval for the addition of two work stations in the police deparkment, replacement of the squad room carpeting with vinyl tile, repairs to the exercise room shower and reupholstering of 21 squad room and management chairs. Mayor Mertensotto stated that he would like to have the lower level storage room finished at the same tixne as the modifications are made in addition to the police azea. He suggested that the ceiling in the room be lowered, that flooring be installed and that lighting be improved so that the room can be made available for community use. Treasurer Shaughnessy responded that staff will take bids and return to Council for approval. Page No. 4 May 6, 1997 Councilmember Huber moved to authorize the recommended improvements to the Police Department area and to authorize staff to request quotes for improvements to the lower level unfinished area. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 SPRING CLEAN-UP Administrative Assistant Hollister informed Council and the audience that the third annual Spring Clean-Up Day will be held on Saturday, May 17. He briefly reviewed some of the types of items that will be accepted and those which cannot be accepted. HEARING: TAX INCREMENT Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the purpose of a public PLAN AMENDMENTS hearing on proposed amendments to the city's Tax Increment Plan. , Council acknowledged receipt of the proposed plan modifications along'with a memo from Treasurer Shaughnessy. Mr. Walt Hartmann, the Dakota County HRA Tax Increment Consultant, was present for the discussion. Treasurer Shaughnessy informed the audience that the hearing was called to consider amending the spending plan for the Tax Increment District because the majority of the work in the original plan is either completed or fully funded. He sta.ted that Mr. Hartmann has assisted city staff in developing the spending plan amendment, which has been submitted to the school district and county for comment. He informed Council that he has not received any comments from either agency. Mr. Hartmann explained that in 1981 he and city staff took a look at using the tax increment law to assist in the development of the city and since that time there has been a good development history. Because the tax increment law requires that after all of the spending has been completed in the original plan, the city must either modify the plan or return money to the county and school district. He explained that the city is under some duress to approve the amendment because the legislature is considering provisions in the Omnibus Tax Bill addressing both new and senior TID's. He suggested trying to approve the amendment prior to June 19 so that if there are things the city wants to do they could be chronicled. He stated that staff has developed a list of items that aze desired to be accomplished and if the amendment is approved this evening, there is still no absolute assurance that the legislature will not do something that will not allow it. He informed Council that he fully expects the tax bill to require all districts that are funded to return the taxes to the other tax entities. L Page No. 5 May 6, 1997 Mayor Mertensotto stated that there have been assertions made in the press that the city used tax increment to lure the Brown Institute to the Cray building. He informed the audience that the assertions are not true. He stated that the building is in the tax increment district because the city identified the need for storm water improvements. He pointed out that the tax increment funding would have been available to anyone wishing to purchase the building regardless of who it was, and Brown chose the site. Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and comments from the audience. There being no questions or comments, Councilmember Huber moved that the hearing be closed. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Councilmember Huber moved adoption of Resolution No. 97-16, "RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION OF MiTNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 and MODIFICATION NO. 2 OF TAX INCREMENT REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 AND MODIFICATION OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN RELATING TI�RETO." Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 SOD COMPLAINTS Council acknowledged a memo from Engineer Mogan regazding sod complaints relating to the Friendly Hills improvement project. Council also acknowledged a letter from Mr. J.W. Burke, 707 Decorah Lane, regarding the condition of the sod in his boulevazd area. Mr. Burke was present for the discussion. Engineer Mogan informed Council that Mr. Burke had called him last October to complain about the sod which was installed as part of the Friendly Hills project, and that he has also spoken to several other people in the neighborhood who have expressed complaints about the condition of the sod. He stated that after receiving the complaints, staff viewed the azea and saw about 40 spots which had sod problems. Engineer Mogan informed Council that in some of the cases, the sod had already been replaced and the condition of the lawns was bad as well. He stated that the contractor was responsible for waterin the sod for the first thirty days and the property owners were r sponsible for watering beyond that time. He .J Page No. 6 May 6, 1997 explained that the problem is not universal: there are many property owners who have green yards and sod. He expressed two concerns: that the problem is that stafPs definition of what is dead sod may be different from what the home owners think, and if the city starts a program to replace the bad sod, the number could grow beyond the forty that staff has identified. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the project was done in 1995, so after one year the contractor was released and there is no warranty on the sod. He explained that any corrective action must be at the city's expense, and there is no funding budgeted. He asked Mr. Burke whether he felt that the poor sod condition is the result of the dry weather conditions or if people did not take caze of the sod, or if there was another problem. Mr. Burke responded that he watered his sod so much that his water bill was a record high. He fiu�ther stated that he assumes that sod should be good for at least one growing season, but most of his sod was bad by early spring. He informed Council that he was not favorably impressed by the quality of the sod contractor's work. He stated that one property may have good sod and the next bad sod. Mr. Burke informed Council that his neighbor at 708 Decorah wanted to attend the meeting but could not, and that this neighbor's sod is even worse than his. Councilmember Huber stated that he received a call from the property owner at the northwest comer of Creek and Aztec complaining about his sod. He expressed concern about how the city decides what is really bad sod and what is not. Mayor Mertensotto responded that staff has done a survey and found 40 properties with bad sod. He suggested that stafF determine what needs to be done to correct the conditions without resoding entire blocks. Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council will have to develop some type of criteria to take care of the problem. Staff was directed to prepaze a report on corrective action alternatives for Council consideration on May 20. BID AWARD: TILSEN Council acknowledged a tabulation of bids received for STREET IlV�ROVEMENTS the Tilsen Highland Heights street reconstruction project. Page No. 7 May 6, 1997 Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto regazding the qualifications of the low bidder, Engineer Mogan stated that he has contacted many of the metro area communities where the firm has worked and received favorable responses from most. He informed Council that the only complaint was that the city may need to provide constant supervision — which city engineering does provide on projects through its full time inspector and full time engineering department. Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern over the spread between the low and high bidders. He stated that staff will need to make sure that any requested change orders aze proper. Councilmember Krebsbach asked what concem the other communities had that required more supervision. Engineer Mogan responded that in some aspects of their work they need more supervision but they were more than willing to do what was asked of them. He further stated that he has already had discussions with the president of the company. He informed Council that he does not feel this contractor will require more supervision than has been given on other projects, and noted that city staff has worked with most of the subcontractors who will be working on this project. He explained that the engineering staff is very active in inspecting projects, and stated that he feels the city would be better served by choosing the low bidder than the next low bidder. He also informed Council that the City of Northfield gave the low bidder a glowing reference. Councilmember Huber moved adoption of Resolution No. 97-17, "RESOLUTION ACCEPTIl�IG BIDS AND AWARDING CONTR.ACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STREET � RECONSTRUCTION AND APPURTENANT WORK TO SERVE TII..SEN'S HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, TII.,SEN'S HIGHLAND HEIGHTS PLAT 2, TII.,SEN'S HIGHLAND HEIGHTS PLAT 3 AND SURROUNDING AREAS (IlVII'ROVEMENT NO. 96, PROJECT NO. 4)." Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 97-27, WOOLSEY Council acknowledged an application from Mr. Chris Woolsey, 2316 Lake Lemay Road, for a wetlands pernut to allow construction of a house addition 66.7 feet from Lake Lemay. Council also acknowledged associated staff reports. Page No. 8 May 6, 1997 Mr. Woolsey explained that he would like to construct an addition to the north of his home and a porch between the addition and the home. He explained that the pazcel of land to the east is owned by another party and that he has granted that party an easement so that the parcel would not be landlocked. He informed Council that the owner has agreed to sell the land to him. Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Woolsey stated that he agrees to all of the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Councilmember Smith asked if acquisition of the adjacent pazcel will occur within sixty days, since one of the conditions recommended by the Commission is that construction begin within 60 days. She also asked whether Mr. Woolsey has any plans to add a deck or any other structure close to the lake. Mr. Woolsey responded that he will purchase the property immediately. He stated that he has no future plans and cannot imagine adding anything more on his property. Councilmember Huber moved adoption of Resolution No. 97-18, "A RESOLUTION GRANTING A WETLANDS PERMIT ALLOWIlVG THE CONSTRUCTION OF A HOME ADDITION TO WITHIN 66.7 FEET OF LAKE LEMAY." Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 97-06, SKEMP Council acknowledged an application from Mr. Chazlie Skemp for a conditional use permit to allow construction of a detached double garage at 1060 View Lane. Council also acknowledged receipt of a revised plan for the proposal and associated staff reports. Mr. Skemp informed Council that he would like to replace his existing single detached gazage that is about 45 yeazs old with a detached 24' by 22' double garage. He explained that the garage needs to be moved five feet east of the existing structure in order to save an apple tree and to meet the 10 foot setback. He stated that there is an eYisting 10 by 7 1/2 foot storage shed which also needs to be moved further from his neighbor's property line. Mayor Mertensotto asked if it is Mr. Skemp's intent to pazk cars in front of the garage. � Page No. 9 May 6, 1997 Mr. Skemp responded that he is not planning to pazk cazs on the slab. He stated that the existing garage is only wide enough for one caz, and the new double garage and the driveway will be wide enough so that both cars can enter the garage. Mayor Mertensotto asked what the purpose is for the additional concrete that is proposed. Mr. Skemp responded that he thought a twelve foot concrete apron in front of the garage would be better than a four foot apron. Councilmember Smith informed NIr. Skemp that she does not want to approve something with the implication that Mr. Skemp will be parking two cazs in front of the garage as well as vehicles in the gazage. , Mr. Skemp responded that he does not plan to do so. He explained that the slab would not be for additional parking, as he just has two cazs. He also informed Council that the gazage will match the style of the garage to the east. Mayor Mertensotto stated that often tunes people add a concrete area to the side of their garage and store things on it. He pointed out that the slab cannot be used for storage. Mr. Skemp responded that he promises he will never buy or park a recreational vehicle on the concrete. He asked if he would be restricted from constructing a concrete walk around the gazage the width of a sidewalk. Mayor Mertensotto responded that a walkway would not be a problem as long as it is no wider than a standard sidewallc. Councilmember Krebsbach moved adoption of Resolution No. 97- 19, "A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE AT 1060 VIEW LANE." Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 97-07, SWEENEY Council acknowledged an application from Mr. Ed Sweeney for preliminary plat approval for the division of property located at the northeast corner of Wentworth and Wachtler Avenues into three Page No. 10 May 6, 1997 single family lots. Council also acknowledged associated staff reports. Mr. Sweeney, and NIr. William Brown, from Paul McLagan Land Surveyors, were present for the discussion. Referring to the Planning Commission minutes and staff report, NIr. Brown stated that Mr. Sweeney recently purchased the land and proposes phasing the subdivision. He explained that in about a yeaz Mr. Sweeney will be subdividing the easterly lot for his son, and at some time in the future the other lot would be sold to Mr. Sweeney's brother. He explained that NIr. Sweeney will be coming to Council for approval of a final plat for two lots and then in the future would come back with a second final plat. He stated that Mr. Sweeney does not want to have to come back in the future and go through the Planning Commission and Council, but that he does not wish to plat the property as three lots at this time. He informed Council that Mr. Sweeney would like Council to approve a preliminary plat that would allow two final plats. Mayor Mertensotto responded that a fmal plat must be consistent with the preliminary plat and stated that it would not be consistent unless three lots are shown on the fmal plat. Mr. Brown stated that Mr. Sweeney is asking that the preliminary plat be regazded as a phased subdivision. Attorney Hart stated that it would be possible that Mr. Sweeney could file a fmal plat with Lot 1 and an outlot that he wishes to plat in the future, which would then require replatting. He stated that the preliminary and fmal plat would have consistency if there were an outlot that could be divided in the future. Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Sweeney stated that there will be two driveways for the three lots, one being a joint driveway access for Lots 1 and 2. He explained that the reason why he does not want to divide the properly into three lots right away is that if his brother does not relocate for some reason, he would not want to divide Lot 2. Councilmember Smith stated that just the entrance to the street would be shared. Mr. Brown explained that the preliminary plat shows two separate driveways that come together about five feet from the properry line to share an access onto the county road. He explained that Mr. Page No. 11 May 6, 1997 Sweeney felt that a combined access would be the safest way to introduce tr�c onto the road. Mayor Mertensotto was concerned about whether the platting of one lots as an outlot for future division without future Planning Commission review and Council approval is appropriate under the zoning ordinance. Public Works Director Danielson responded that normally this type of proposal occurs on a much larger scale in the industrial park, and that the Sweeney proposal is unusual in that it relates to only three lots. Attorney Hart stated that phased platting frequently occurs in larger subdivisions, and it is not uncommon for developers to submit preliminary plats and then come back to final plat outlots as they develop. He stated that Mr. Sweeney would have preliminary plat approval and could seek final plat approval without starting the planning process over again. Councilmember Smith asked why the county would want the curve area, shown as dedication to the county on the plat, to remain. Mr. Sweeney responded that when the county reconfigured the roads to a"t" intersection, the county no longer had a need for the crescent shaped pazcel, but the city constructed trail and utilities there. He stated that he would just be providing a dedicated location for those facilities. Councilmember Huber stated that he does not understand the purpose of the Planning Commission wanting ten feet of additional right-of-way. Mr. Brown responded that he does not know. Mayor Mertensotto sta.ted that it could be dangerous building driveways onto Wentworth, and the second lot split might not be routine. He felt that Council should impose a condition that the preliminary plat for the additional lot division would only be good for two years. He further stated that if there aze any changes to the plat the applicant would have to return to Council. Public Works Director Danielson stated that the county must grant approval to the driveway access, and city approval of the plat should be subject to county approval of the driveway. Page No. 12 May 6, 1997 Mr. Sweeney stated that he would be willing to grant the ten foot easement recommended by the Planning Commission and asked if it would be right-of-way that would go to the county. Mr. Brown responded that it would be dedicated to the city, along both Wentworth and Wachtler. Councilmember Smith stated that she would be comfortable leaving the decision on the easement up to the county. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that if the road is turned back to the city, the city could have a problem if NIr. Sweeney came back in three to five years for division of the outlot and the county no longer had jurisdiction. Mr. Brown informed Council that Commissioner Tilsen's recommendation for the additional ten feet was only related to drainage. Public Works Director Danielson stated that the commission was concerned that the county might not approve any driveway access, which is why the commission suggested that driveway locations not be a part of the plat approval. Mayor Mertensotto suggested that approval be subject to county approval of access points and if the county turns back the right-of- way to the city, the access would be subject to city approval. Attorney Hart stated that the county has the right to review all fmal plats, and if there is a change in circumstances that affect public safety, health and welfare, the Council certainly has the right to require a change. He stated that Council can reserve discretion to review whether there has been any change in circumstances that would affect the public welfaze, etc. Mayor Mertensotto directed staff to modify the proposed resolution approving the preliminary plat, as it relates to access and the delayed platting of Outlot A, for Council approval on May 20. He stated that Council can give Mr. Sweeney an indication that the plat is approved this evening by consensus but the official approval would be on May 20. CASE NO. 97-08, SATHER Council acknowledged an application from Mr. Steve Sather for a wetlands permit to allow construction of a three season porch Page No. 13 May 6, 1997 addition and deck replacement at 1902 South Lane, which would bring the deck to 70 feet from the wetlands area. Council also acknowledged reports from the city planner and administrative assistant. Mayor Mertensotto informed Council that he would not participate in the discussion or action because the home is owned by a member of his family. Mr. Sather stated that he met with each of the adjacent properry owners to explain what was being proposed and that he also met with the architectural committee and received its approval. He informed Council that the proposed porch is in the exact location of the existing deck. Councilmember Huber moved adoption of Resolution No. 97-21, "A RESOLUTION GRANTIlVG A WETLANDS PERMIT ALLOWIlVG A DECK REPLACEMENT AND A NEW ADDITION TO THE HOUSE AT 1902 SOUTH LANE." Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 Abstain: Mertensotto CASE NO. 97-09, OPUS Mr. Arne Cook and Mr. Dave Bangasser, representing OPUS and AMB, were present to request approval of a building permit and tax increment financing assistance for the redevelopment of the George's Golf Tee property. Council also acknowledged a memo from Administrative Assistant Hollister and Treasurer Shaughnessy and letters from Mr. Cook and Mr. Martin Coyne, AMB Vice President, regarding the proposed Mendota Heights Gateway Commons development. Mr. Cook explained that AMB, on behalf of Ameritech, is the developer of record and that Ameritech also owns the former R.L. Johnson building on the adjoining properly. Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, he stated that there had been discussion at the last Council review of the matter about combining the two properties for shared truck access for the two buildings, but that is a long-range plan which he is not seeking approval for at this time. Mayor Mertensotto stated that if the owner wishes to combine the two projects in the future that would be a sepazate issue with sepazate Page No. 14 May 6, 1997 ` requirements. He pointed out that any site development cannot have more than 75% site coverage (building and impervious surface). Mr. Bangasser reviewed the site for Council and the audience. He explained that there is about fifty to sixty feet between the site and the R.L. Johnson building. He stated that the site has a great deal of visibility from T.H. 55, which is a critical issue, and it is understood that the city considers the property a gateway into the city. He stated that the proposal is for an office/warehouse facility with an entrance and parking along the front and truck docks to the rear. He informed Council that the building has been "bent" at a 45 degree angle to break up the 150,000 squaze foot building and architectural interest has been added as well as screening of the truck dock azea from the highway. He showed architectural renderings of the proposed building and informed Council that it is very similar to a project that OPUS completed in Eden Prairie. He stated that the exterior will be smooth panel pre-cast panels with reveals cast into the panels so that the product looks like Drivit. He further stated that there will be more glass in the building than is typical and there will be decorative grillwork with recesses at each entry. He informed Council that approximately 20% or more of the building will be office, depending on tenant interest. He stated that the Eden Prairie facility was anticipated to be 20% office but ended up with a considerably higher percentage of office finish. Councilmember Krebsbach asked if there is sufficient pazking planned should the building have a higher ratio of office space. She also asked about the ratio of green space. Mr. Bangasser responded that if the office space ends up to be greater than 20%, there would not be the need for the planned number of truck docks, so adequate parking could be provided. He informed Council that building panels are knocked out for parking bays, and wherever bays aze not needed, the blacktop can be striped for parki.ng. He stated that each time there is a new tenant, a building permit will be required to finish the tenant space and the city code will have to be met for parking as well as other requirements. He indicated that 28% to 29% of the site will be green space. Mr. Cook stated that the cost of the construction is such that the facility could not be just warehouse — the owner will need to get a certain price per square foot and that price would not be competitive with bulk warehouse space. He informed Council that the Eden Prairie facility is approximately 50% office space, and because of the Page No. 15 May 6, 1997 high quality of the proposed project is likely to attract more office, particularly the portion of the project facing T.H. 55. Councilmember Smith stated that Council would be delighted if there were a higher percentage of office space but would like to know that the project can accommodate the parking that would be needed. Mr. Cook responded that the worst thing the owner could do is not provide enough parki.ng for employees. He stated that OPUS and AMB have agreed to the Planning Commission requirement that there will be no on-street pazking. Councilmember Krebsbach asked if the plan is to operate the project as a unit with the R.L. Johnson building in terms of trucks being in the common azea in the back. Mr. Cook responded that all he is asking for now is approval of this project on a stand-alone basis and would come back to the city in the future if anything else is proposed. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the project must stand on its own — at such time as a request is made to combine the two projects, the City Council which is seated at that time would have to make a decision on combination. He pointed out to the applicants that once Council approves a project, it is expected that the project will be constructed in accordance with the approved plan. Mr. Cook responded that he understands the requirement and does not anticipate that there will be any changes in the design of the building. Responding to a question from Councilmember Smith, he stated that the reaz of the building will be finished the same as the front except that there will not be decorative grills or recesses. He also confirmed that a11 required setbacks will be met. Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she feels the tax increment request is too high. Treasurer Shaughnessy responded that the proposal before Council estimates taxes at $1.60 per foot in the finished building, which over the life of the tax increment district would amount to $1,200,000. He explained that the present value of that amount is $769,000, but the figures used by the applicants are higher because they project a five percent increase in taxes each year. He pointed out that taxes on the two projects that are the oldest pay-as-you-go projects, Lennox Page No. 16 May 6, 1997 and VGC, are lower than they were in the first full year of assessment. He stated that another aspect which could impact the tax increment request is legislation changes. He explained that there has been some discussion by the legislature on changing the tax capacity on industrial facilities, which would result in reduced taxes. Councilmember Smith agreed, stating that the legislature is considering reducing the tax capacity of commercial and industrial buildings, which could ultimately affect the actual increment that is available and which would mean that the applicant would actually be receiving less back in pay-as-you-go TIF. She further stated that if the property owner ultimately pays less taxes and would receive less TIF, he would still not be in a worse position. NIr. Cook responded that there are a number of assumptions that go into the request and it is the developer's risk. He stated that the city's tax rates aze less than he has found in any other city, and he understands the equation. Councilmember Smith pointed out that the Planning Commission asked about setbacks and the planner indicated that the property abuts railroad trackage. She asked if that reference is to the trail and abandoned Soo Line property and further asked how that has been treated in other developments. Administrator Batchelder responded that the developer on the east side received a setback variance of 11 feet from the 50 foot requirement. He stated that in previous cases, like the R.L. Johnson building, the rear yard setback was not required in cases where there is a train track running along the rear of the property. He further stated that he believes it was the interpretation of the city planner that no variance is required for this project. Councilmember Huber pointed out that the property is no longer railroad right-of-way. Mr. Bangasser responded that if Council's interpretation is that a variance is required he would like to ask for a variance. Councilmember Smith stated that the landscaping for the front of the property is nicely designed but that she has not seen any landscaping for the back. Mr. Bangasser responded that what is proposed puts an emphasis on screening of the docks and the front of the building, but that he sees Page No. 17 May 6, 1997 no value in providing screening to the reaz. He explained that there will be grass at the rear and trees along the lot lines but no trees at the reaz of the property. Mayor Mertensotto stated that AMB has requested that assignment and transfer of 'TIF proceeds to related entities or third-parry future owners be permitted. He informed Mr. Cook and Mr. Bangasser that the city does not permit TIF transfers. Mr. Roger Simpson, from AMB, stated that AMB is an advisor to Ameritech. He stated that AMB has a fiduciary responsibility to AMB to manage this property in the most prudent manner possible and, while the business strategy of AIVIB and Ameritech is to hold properties long term, there could be a future need to sell off properties to match funds to meet their obligations. Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council's position is that there can be no transfers. He stated that pay-as-you-go increases the value of the project and the city will not contribute 'TIF to enhance the resale value of properties. Mr. Simpson sta.ted that in this case, this is a pension fund that is purchasing properly as a core investment for long-term holding. Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council cannot grant the request. He sta.ted that if the property is sold, the 'TIF would terminate, as has always been Council's policy. Responding to a question from Councilmember Krebsbach, Treasurer Shaughnessy stated that the calculations for the requested $768,695 in pay-as-you go are based on a projected 5% annual tax increase, and that is the developers' risk. Mr. Cook stated that the developers aze asking for less than what the project generates at 5%. He stated that at the 5%, the project would generate $981,000 and the total 'TIF request is for $883,000 including $114,500 up front. He explained that the $114,500 is to cover part of the cost of soil conection. Mr. Bangasser stated that the results of recent soils testing indicate that the soil conections will cost about $150,000, but the developers are not revising their request for up front TIF. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the letter from Mr. Cook and Mr. Coyne spoke about a request for $98,163 for costs related to land Page No. 18 May 6, 1997 acquisition. He informed NIr. Cook that the city does not do land write-downs. Mr. Cook responded that the reference in the letter is to the triangulaz site that is not part of this development. He explained that the city's staff had suggested that it be acquired and developed as part of the project because it would be a very difficult site to develop and serve with utilities. He stated that the Gateway Commons project cannot afford to acquire the site but if the city fmds that it would be beneficial, the developers would acquire, landscape and maintain it and incorporate it into the development. He stated that the up front cash that is requested is for the acquisition and improvement of the parcel, based on a negotiated asking price, is $98,163. Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Bangasser sta.ted that acquisition of the parcel is not needed in order to meet the green space requirement. Mr. Cook sta.ted that if Council finds that it would be in the city's best interest, the developers would purchase and landscape the triangular parcel and maintain it. Otherwise, they would not purchase it. Mayor Mertensotto responded that there is no public purpose in using TIF for the parcel. He stated that there is serious concern about whether the city should invest $98,000 to acquire the pazcel when it has no public purpose. He pointed out also that given the experience older projects have had, the project will not experience a 5% annual tax increase and the developers have no guarantee from the city — the project would receive the increment it produces. Mr. Bangasser responded that if the project ends up with more office it will generate more taxes, which makes him feel more comfortable about the risk. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the most the city could guarantee is the $114,500 up front payment and that he does not think that Council could justify the $980,000 TIF from a public purpose standpoint. He asked with the developers could live with a TIF contribution of $500,000. He stated that if the tax growth percentage were scaled back, this would be an appropriate amount, but that the city could not justify $900,000 without greater public purpose. Page No. 19 May 6, 1997 Mr. Simpson responded that he would have to take that offer back to Ameritech to see if they would want to move forwazd with the project. Councilmember Huber stated that there are several issues: from a tax inflation standpoint, anticipated tax capacities that are considered to be more correct should be used; Council questions whether it would want to put $900,000 in the TIF agreement; and, there can be no transfer of TIF. Mr. Cook asked if he understands correctly that Council would approve $114,500 up front and $500,000 in pay-as-you-go and would not like the developers to pursue acquisition of the triangular pazcel. Mayor Mertensotto responded that he does not see a public purpose to the extent of $98,000 for the acquisition of the triangular pazcel. Mr. Bangasser stated that the developers have a$50,000 up front soil correction cost that they did not know about two weeks ago. He stated that Council is suggesting that the developers come back with a package that is less on pay-as-you-go and that he would ask Council to consider the additional $50,000 in soil correction up front, making the up front TIF $164,000. He explained that the soil will have to be excavated down fourteen feet, which is not a typical soil cost. Councilmember Smith responded that Council is usually willing to compensate for soil correction, but other items on the list are not normally included, so there is no trade-off. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the applicants are requesting $980,000 and he is suggesting scaling the request back to $500,000 in combined up front and pay-as-you-go. Mr. Bangasser asked if the project meets Council's approval so he can go back to the investment boazd and tell them it has been approved except for the "TIF. Mr. Simpson stated that he would have to go back to Ameritech to see if they wish to proceed and would notify the city in writing prior to the next meeting. Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council cannot commit itself to the project or the TIF but that he would be willing to consider $500,000 Page No. 20 May 6, 1997 in combined TIF for this project on the condition that the developers enter into a developers agreement. Attorney Hart stated that he has provided the developers with a sample of the developers agreement which has been used for other projects. Mr. Cook asked if Council would give approval of the project as proposed with $500,000 in TIF so that he could go to the board and give them that information. Mayor Mertensotto responded that the applicants have submitted a landscaping plan, have indicated that the plan meets the green space requirement and the plans and specifications for construction of the building are on file and a precedent has been set for the setback. He stated that the only question that remains is on the TIF participation. Mr. Cook responded that he understands that if the Council approves TIF it would be tied to the project as it was designed and presented to Council this evening. Councilmember Huber stated that if the applicants came back with the same project he would support approval. Councilmember Krebsbach stated that her concerns have been addressed but that she would like to see the triangular parcel included. Mayor Mertensotto responded that he has a serious concern with justifying $98,000 in up front TIF for the parcel in terms of public purpose. He also pointed out that the parcel is in separate ownership. CASE NO. 97-10, Council acknowledged a request from Mr. Cory Tollefson for TOLLEFSON a pre-application conference regarding development of a townhome project on four tax-forfeit lots immediately south of Centre Pointe Drive. Mr. Tollefson stated that before he makes a presentation, he would like an indication of whether Council would consider the rezoning of the properly from B-1 to R-1 or MR-PUD. It was the consensus of the Council that the property should remain B-1. Page No. 21 May 6, 1997 MN/DOT AGREEMENT Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director Danielson regazdi.ng an update on the Mn/DOT cooperative agreement projects for podd Road/T.H. 110 and the Lexington Avenue Frontage Road. Dakota. Bank President John Seidl was present for the discussion. Mr. Seidl stated that retention of the right-in, right-out access to the frontage road is a very important element of the bank's development. Mayor Mertensotto responded that the decision by Mn/DOT to finance only 25% of the fron�age road improvement if the access to the highway is retained means that the city contribution must be much greater than anticipated. He pointed out that Mn/DOT would pay 100% of the frontage road cost if the access is eliminated from the design. He informed Mr. Seidl that if the city is faced with an additional $50,000 project cost, the only way construction could be accomplished is if the developers share that cost equally with the city. Mr. Seidl responded that he does not know what the breakdown of percentage of cost sharing is, but that he unerstood that the city had committed to the access. Councilmember Krebsbach suggested that the city negotiate further with Mn/DOT. Mayor Mertensotto responded that further negotiation would delay the project. Mr. Seidl stated that finding out the day before groundbreaking for the bank that it may cost the bank and SuperAmerica $50,000 more is a real blow. He asked Treasurer Shaughnessy if the project will be generating greater T'IF than expected. Treasurer Shaughnessy responded that the building that is now proposed is larger than the original proposals that the tax increment assumptions were based on. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city could delay payment of the $25,000 from the bank, pointing out that the bank will be selling the residential lots in the future. Mr. Seidl asked if the t� increment note will increase. Mayor Mertensotto responded that it will not, since the developers' agreement is complete and has been signed by all parties. He sta.ted Page No. 22 May 6, 1997 that designing the access in the project was based on negotiations with the state, which had agreed to keep it open. Public Works Director Danielson informed Council that he has been dealing with the Mn/DOT traffic department for months and they have allowed the city to keep the access open. He explained that during the final review process at Mn/DOT, he was informed that if the city keeps the access open the state would only contribute 25%. Mr. Seidl stated that he just received a11 of the construction bids for the bank and the Kasota rock has come in over budget $50,000. He stated that he would be willing to put ota on the sign, • ut not Kasota ot on the ba�k1,'""u S erAmeri an ota Bank would be willing t�o y�$20,000 for the ontage road. He further stated that e.felt'�Y"ie bank had a commitment from � the city to�a_c.cessr'I�e stated that he knew about the participation _ af �Iii/DOT and thought it was committed also but that he received � �f`� notice yesterday about the Mn/DOT response. Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Seidl if the bank would put the Kasota stone on the building if the city fmances the street. Mr. Seidl responded that he would not and that he just wants to raise the issue this evening because he cannot do the stone and because he thought everything could be handled this evening rather than at the next meeting. Councilmember Huber expressed his concern over Mn/DOT's change in position. Public Works Director Danielson responded that Mn/Dot very much wants the access closed. Mr. Seidl stated that he would hate to see Mn/DOT not fund the project and then come back in a few yeazs and close the access. Mayor Mertensotto responded that Mn/DOT would have to use inverse condemnation proceedings to close the access in the future. He stated that if the bank puts the Kasota. stone on the building the city will fund the street. Mr. Seidl responded that if the other stone is used, the bank would save $45,000 on the building. He informed Council that SuperAmerica has indicated that it will contribute $10,000 for the frontage road and the bank would do the same. He informed Council Page No. 23 May 6, 1997 that he was planning to appear before Council in two weeks to discuss the stone. He also stated that in his opinion there was an agreement with the city regarding the access. Mayor Mertensotto responded that if the access is installed, the city would be protecting the bank's future interests and not the city's interests. Attorney Hart stated that in his recollection, the city agreed to put in a frontage road and there is no obligation from the city to construct any particular access points. Public Works Director Danielson stated that he met with Mn/DOT eazly in the process and Mn/DOT committed to the access. Councilmember Krebsbach asked if there are any minutes from the discussions with Mn/DOT and felt that the city should pursue the matter. Public Works Director Danielson explained that the people he met with were traffic people and they said that the access could remain and still agree that it does not present a safety problem. The fmance staff at Mn/DOT are the people who say that Mn/DOT will not fund the project unless the access is closed. He informed Council that a contract for construction of the road must be awarded in June if the project is to be completed this year. Treasurer Shaughnessy informed Council that the original memo estimated a$169,000 cost for the frontage road and the TIF participation in the project was based on that figure. He explained that at that time staff had no idea how much state money the city would receive, and whatever state contribution there is would reduce the amount of TIF. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that financing is at least $45,000 short now but the city would keep the participation by the bank at $20,000, and now Mr. Seidl is saying the bank will not use the stone that was required. Mr. Seidl responded that he would use the stone that runs around the building instead because the bids for Kasota. for the front came in $45,000 above what was expected. He felt that any money the bank contributes to the frontage road is to benefit the city. Page No. 23 May 6, 1997 that he was planning to appear before Council in two weeks to discuss the stone.

Page No. 24 May 6, 1997 Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the access would be to benefit the bank and not the city and also stated that Council did not promise the access. He informed Mr. Seidl that in order to pick up the Mn/DOT contribution, the city could agree to closing the access. Mr. Seidl responded that SuperAmerica and the bank are willing to both pay $10,000 for the frontage road in order to keep the access and that he will come back to discuss the stone at another time. Councilmember Smith stated that Council d the bank both made good faith representations, the bank o e stone and the city on the access, and she felt that Mr. Seidl has made a good faith offer. Mayor Mertensotto asked if Mr. Seidl is asking Council to set aside its requirement for the stone because the bank is willing to pay $10,000 for the road cost. Mr. Seidl responded that he is not, but rather that he is hying to get the project going and there was an error made on the frontage road. Councilmember Huber stated that the bank would not want the city to hold up the entire project while staff negotiates with Mn/DOT on the access so the offer has been made by the bank and SA to pay $20,000 for the road. Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Seidl that there is no commitrnent from Council regarding the stone. He further stated that on the basis of keeping the access open, which means that the reduced participation by Mn/DOT will cost the city $45,000, Mr. Seidl is committing $10,000 on the bank's behalf and $10,000 on behalf of SA. Attomey Hart suggested that Council should stipulate how and when the funds will be collected. Councilmember Huber stated that if Mn/DOT comes back in the future and closes the access, the city should get its money back from any settlement. Attomey Hart responded that the city has a letter from Mn/DOT that says there can be a right-in, right-out and while there is nothing the city can do in the future to keep Mn/DOT from closing the access for safety issues, the city would have a basis in the future for compensation should Mn/DOT close the access. Page No. 25 May 6, 1997 Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the frontage road project can proceed, with reduced state funding, if the bank and SA agree to pay $10,000 each for the project. Mr. Seidl stated that the funds from the bank and SuperAmerica would be paid at completion of the road project. Public Works Director Danielson stated that he feels the crux of the issue is that Mn/DOT understands that if it has to close the access in the future for safety reasons there will be costs to Mn/DOT. Councilmember Smith moved to proceed with the frontage road project with the understanding that Mn/DOT funding will be reduced to 25% of the cost and Dakota Bank and SuperAmerica each agree to contribute $10,000 towards the project. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Councilmember Smith pointed out that the limited use permit with Mn/DOT for the Dodd Road trail is only for ten years. She asked whether the city would want a relocation clause and longer permit term. Public Works Director Danielson responded that the limited use pemut protects Mn/DOT, because the city is required to maintain and operate the trail at its expense during the term of the permit. Mayor Mertensotto suggested that Public Works Director Danielson be directed to inform Mn/Dot that Council approves the agreement but wants automatic renewal for two successive ten year periods as a condition. Councilmember Krebsbach moved adoption of Resolution No. 97- 22, "A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SIGNATURE OF A LIlVIITED USE PERMIT FOR SP 1917," with the condition that the agreement for the Dodd Road trail be modified to permit two successive ten yeaz automatic renewals unless the agreement is terminated. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CABLE FEES Council acknowledged a memo from Treasurer Shaughnessy regarding a request from NDC4 that the city accept and then return Page No. 26 May 6, 1997 its percentage of the franchise tax that NDC4 receives form Continental Cablevision. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the City of South St. Paul agreed to return 50% of the contribution and felt that the city should do the same. Councilmember Smith moved to accept $7,438.41 as the city's pro- rata share of the Continental Cablevision franchise fees and authorize the return of 50% of that amount to NDC4 for continued production of Insight 7. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 COUNCIL COMN�NTS Mayor Mertensotto asked that the Public Works Department be informed about a number of potholes which should be filled on Cheri Lane and Bluebill Drive. Councilmember Krebsbach complimented Mn/DOT on the landscaping which is being done along Highway 110. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilmember Smith moved that the meeting be adjourned. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 11:27 o'clock P.M. Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk ATTEST: Charles E. Mertensotto Mayor CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES MAY 14, 1997 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on Wednesday, May 14, 1997 in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. The following members were present: Beaty, Fitzer, Stein, Gross, Des Roches and May. Commissioner Leuman was excused. Also present were City Administrator Kevin Batchelder and Senior Secretary Kim Blaeser. Also in attendance was Councilmember Jill Smith. INTRODUCTION OF NEW COMMISSIONER Chair Beaty welcomed new Airport Relations Commissioner George May. Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that he intends to meet with new Commissioners Des Roches and May to discuss current topics presently being discussed by the Commission and provide an orientation. Chair Beaty introduced Councilmember Smith to the Commission. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Fitzer moved approval of the April 9, 1997 Minutes. Commissioner Stein seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 DISCUSSION OF NOISE ABATEMENT DEPARTURE PROFiLES Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that the MAC has briefed the MASAC Operations Committee and MASAC about their proposal to implement the Close-In departure procedure for all departures off the Minneapolis end of the parallel runways (29L and 29R). He stated that the MAC staff is recommending that the Distant departure procedure be continued for all departures over the Eagan/Mendota Heights corridor. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 1 � �• Administrator Batchelder reviewed Parcel Count information for each community by Distant and Close In departure procedures. He explained that this analysis is based on 1994 data on noise and airport operations and 1996 population figures from the Dakota County GIS system. He explained that this analysis assumes that MSP will be using two departure procedures , and that it will be up to the local airport operator to decide which departure procedure will be used. He stated that the FAA and Airlines Pilots Association (ALPA) have taken the position that they will not accept different procedures off the same ends of the parallel runways. In response to a question from Commissioner May, Administrator Batchelder stated that there is no affect on the operations when different departure procedures are used at different ends of the runway. He explained that the FAA and ALPA have taken the position that the same departure procedure will be used off of the parallel runways in each direction. He explained that according to the model analysis of DNL contours, the Close In departure procedure will benefit Mendota Heights. He stated that according to the Parcel Count information, Mendota Heights would have 101 fewer homes in the LDN 65 noise contour with a change to the Close In departure procedure. He explained that the Distant departure procedure favors the Cities of Inver Grove Heights and Eagan. Councilmember Smith inquired how changes in decibels are measured. Commissioner Gross arrived at 7:14 p.m. Administrator Batchelder stated that the shift from 65 decibels to 68 decibels is greater than the shift from 52 decibels to 55 decibels because of the logarithmic scale. Batchelder stated that the Close In departure procedure will benefit DNL contours (in Mendota Heights) 75, 70 and 65. He explained that the DNL 60 contour, homes near Huber Drive and Delaware Avenue, have a slight benefit from the Distant departure procedure. He stated he is unaware at which point between the DNL 65 and DNL 60, the benefit switches from the Close In to the Distant departure, and how many homes this involves. Chair Beaty stated that he would like a test of the different departure procedures before a final decision is made. He stated that he inquired with Mr. Foggia, who stated that the testing procedure would take too long. Commissioner Fitzer suggested that a comparison be completed between last June and this coming June. Councilmember Smith stated that the current scientific information is not in accordance with what people are A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS10N M/NUTES - MAY 14, �997 2 r � actually experiencing. Commissioner Fitzer stated that the departure procedure used leaving Europe is the Close In departure procedure. He stated that population does not dictate what procedure is used. He stated that he would like to see a test conducted at MSP. He stated that the results may be better than what the MAC is currently proposing. Administrator Batchelder explained the following procedures: The Close In Procedure: At 800 to 1000 feet above field elevation (AFE) thrust cutback is initiated. At 3000 feet (afe) the flaps are retracted and normal climb is resumed. This procedure helps reduce noise close in by reducing the thrust at the beginning of the climb. The Distant Procedure: At 800 to 1000 feet (afe), flaps are slowly retracted and a little while later thrust is reduced, but not as much as with the close- in procedure. At 3000 feet (afe) normal climb is resumed. This procedure helps reduce noise to distant communities by gaining more altitude close to the airport and combining reduced thrust and altitude for noise reduction. Commissioner Des Roches inquired if fuel consumption is a major factor in determining which departure procedure is used. Batchelder responded that he has been told no. He stated that NW Airlines has indicated that the Distant procedure is used more frequently by their pilots. In response to a question from Councilmember Smith, Commissioner Fitzer stated that the aircraft's flap setting dictates the type of procedure used. He explained that speed of the aircraft is predicated on the gross weight of the plane along with other issues such as temperature. He stated that the aircraft can climb to 3,000 feet quicker and faster with the Close In departure procedure. Chair Beaty stated that he is concerned that the aircraft will accelerate to 3,000 feet over Mendota Heights neighborhoods. Commissioner Fitzer explained that the same power setting is used for each departure procedure and that the Close In procedure means that the aircraft will be accelerating over Inver Grove Heights and not Mendota Heights. Batchelder explained that the MAC is of the opinion that the Close In procedure should be used over Minneapolis because of the amount of homes impacted by air noise and that the MAC is of the opinion that the Distance procedure is best used over Mendota Heights and Eagan because A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SSlON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 3 y � their are not as many homes affected by air noise as in Minneapolis. Councilmember Smith stated that this will be a short term benefit according to the computer models because the maximum benefit is three decibels. Chair Beaty stated that the Commission needs to make a recommendation on the type of procedure Mendota Heights should pursue. He noted that the Mayor favors the Close In departure procedure. Administrator Batchelder stated that the Mayor is of the opinion that this departure procedure be in place prior to the Runway 11 R reconstruction. He noted that a test of procedures was requested last year, and that it was not pursued. Commissioner May suggested that the City consider requesting an abbreviated test in which this information could be "plugged" into the computers which would give a more accurate accounting of what is really happening with the air noise in all of the communities. Councilmember Smith concurred and stated that there are mobile ANOMS units available. Commissioner Des Roches inquired if data is available to research what aircraft used a specific departure procedure. She stated that this information could be helpful in reaching a more educated recommendation by the MAC. Commissioner Fitzer concurred and stated that an unscientific comparison may prove to be very helpful. He stated that if the Close In procedure- is implemented over Minneapolis, why not test the procedure over both Minneapolis and Eagan/Mendota Heights. He suggested that a three or six month testing period should be considered and that ANOMS data should be used. Councilmember Smith concurred and stated that there is a big difference between the amount of households (101 households) who would benefit with the Close In departure procedure over the Distant departure procedure (11 households). Smith pointed out that these numbers include only households and not residents living in apartments (Lexington Heights Apartments) and schools. She stated there are more individuals who are impacted by air noise than just households. Councilmember Smith stated that the City Council needs to consider the political nature of our stance. She stated that except Minneapolis, Mendota Heights experiences more air noise than any other community. She stated that the Distant departure procedure discounts loudest noise in our community. Administrator Batchelder stated that the underlying assumption is that MAC operates in reducing noise in the most heavily impacted areas first then worry about other communities who are further away from the MSP. He stated that there are 111 homes who could benefit from the Close In departure procedure with only 11 homes in Eagan that would not benefit. Councilmember Smith stated that while the Close In departure procedure A/RPORT RELATIONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 4 r � benefits the City of Mendota Heights, it will not benefit other communities with the Northern Dakota County Airport Relations Commission (NDCARC). It was noted that the Cities of Eagan and Inver Grove Heights were in favor of the Close In departure procedure until the Parcel Count data information was released. Chair Beaty inquired if the departure procedures could be runway specific. Batchelder stated that the FAA and ALPA have taken the position that they will not accept different procedures off the same ends of the parallel runways. Councilmember Smith stated that runway specific departure procedures may be complicated due to different air born scenarios. Commissioner Des Roches suggested that the City consider getting other communities involved in pursuing a test of departure procedures. She stated that if everyone had better data, then we all would have better information to make a better decision. She stated that factual data is more accurate than computer modeling data. Administrator Batchelder stated that the NDCARC will meet on May 20 and that this topic could be discussed at that time. Chair Beaty moved to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution which formally requests a change in the departure procedures for the Mendota Heights Eagan corridor. He stated that the resolution should include the following information: 1. That the MAC has established the practice of giving prime consideration to those areas most heavily impacted by air noise; and 2. That the MAC analysis demonstrates that 101 households and school properties within Mendota Heights would experience a reduction in noise levels within the DNL 65 noise contour if the current Distant departure procedure was switched to a Close In departure procedure; and 3. That a test period of Close-In departure procedure over the Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor would provide data to the ANOMS that could determine the real benefit of a Close-In departure procedure for noise mitigation purposes. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 5 , i Commissioner Fitzer seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Stein stated that he would like to see the testing process begin immediately since the summer months are the most difficult time for Mendota Heights neighborhoods and the fact that NW Airlines may uphold Runway 11 R reconstruction in 1998. Councilmember Smith reminded the Commission that the MASAC is not the "end of the line". Administrator Batchelder stated that after MASAC reviews the City's request the P&E Committee and the full MAC board will review the request. Councilmember Smith stated that the MAC may not look favorably on our request. She stated that NW Airlines favors the Distant procedure and that she is sure that other carriers will follow suit with NWA. She stated that she has serious reservations that this request will make it to the full MAC. She stated that it is very important that the City be put on record with our concerns and suggestions as soon as possible. Chair Beaty suggested that the NDCARC support our request because it will be hard for the MASAC to not listen to more than one City. Commissioner May inquired about the legislature. He wondered if it is really necessary to have the support of other communities when the City should have support from its own legislators. Councilmember Smith stated that the City has no direct power to the MAC. She stated that the procedures at MSP are regulated by the FAA. She stated that the Governor appoints MAC representatives and that Mendota Heights does not have MAC representation. She explained that the MASAC was created many years ago to discuss noise related topics and to take the pressure off of the MAC to discuss these issues. She stated our State legislators have very little power over MAC and FAA regulations. She stated that the City of Mendota Heights does not advise directly to the MAC but to the P&E Committee which advises the MAC. She stated that the City has a very small "say" at the MASAC level. Smith stated that the City should continue to put political pressure on MAC and to keep pursuing our State legislators. She stated that the City could influence the press and court system. Commissioner May stated that you do get attention through the court system. He inquired if there is a more direct way to get our concerns through to the MAC. Commissioner Fitzer stated that using the court system has been discussed in the past and that cost is a real concern. He stated that another concern is that one half of the City (north of Highway 110) does not believe that A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 6 r there is a real air noise concern or that tax dollars should be used to pursue litigation. Councilmember Smith stated that the City should pursue noise mitigation through the established channels and that the City should continue to be on record stating our air noise concerns. Chair Beaty stated that he believes the City should continue to pursue the political end of air noise beginning with the Governor's office. He stated that he believes the MAC should be elected representatives and not appointed representatives. He stated the City of Mendota Heights needs MAC representation. Commissioner May stated that the City should use Representative Commers and Senator Wiener. Councilmember Smith stated that Senator Wiener has supported the City in the past, in particular, supporting the Third Parallel Runway - Third Party contract. Chair Beaty reminded the Commission that Representative Commers and Senator Wiener also represent Eagan. Commissioner Gross stated that even if someone from Eagan is on the MAC board, it would be better than the current Apple Valley representative. Chair Beaty stated that the City has one vote on MASAC. Councilmember Smith stated that Minneapolis has 4 votes, St. Paul has 3 votes and Burnsville has 1 vote. It was noted that St. Louis Park has 1 vote. Commissioner Des Roches inquired if adding additional representative to MASAC requires new legislation. Chair Beaty stated no, that MASAC has their own by-laws. He stated that the MASAC by-laws requires equal representation between communities and commercial. Administrator Batchelder stated that on April 22, the MASAC Executive Committee discussed adding Sunfish Lake as a voting member on the MASAC. It was also discussed that there are several issues that are negatively plaguing the MASAC such as sending agenda information out too late to members and the actual structure of MASAC. Batchelder stated that the NDCARC will be discussing these issues at their next meeting in May. He stated that other communities are frustrated with the MASAC. The Commission concurred that it does not make sense to have St. Louis Park as a voting member on the MASAC when MSP operations do not directly impact that City. Batchelder stated that the MASAC is considering changing its quorum requirements from seven to four. Councilmember Smith stated she is opposed to this change. She stated how can there be a quorum with less than 50 percent of its membership present. Commissioner Des Roches stated that attendance may be hampered because information is being sent out too late to its members. Councilmember Smith stated there are A/RPORT RELATIONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 7 � currently 32 members on the MASAC. Commissioner Gross suggested that the quorum be changed to 17 and that it not matter who is in attendance. Maybe there will be more of an incentive to attend the meetings if the quorum expectation is higher. Councilmember Smith concurred. Councilmember Smith announced that SMAAC will be meeting on Thursday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m. Chair Beaty inquired about the SMAAC newsletter and stated that the City has not received one in quite a while. Chair Beaty thanked Councilmember Smith for attending the meeting. Councilmember Smith was excused at 8:00 p.m. DISCUSS ARTICLE TOPICS FOR MAY HEIGHTS HIGHLITES The Commission discussed topics to include in the May Heights Highlites. The Commission was of the consensus to include articles on cancellation of runway reconstruction, non-simultaneous crossing pattern, third parallel runway contract, new commissioners and action plan updates. The Commission felt it important to inform the community about their work on the non-simultaneous crossing procedures and that fact that it was quite an accomplishment after working on it for three years. The Commission felt it necessary to inform the community that the action plan will be updated and that the public is invited to attend an August City Council meeting for further information on the action plan. REVIEW CITY COUNCIL TARGET ISSUES ON AIRPORT NOISE Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that the City Council continue to consider air noise as a high priority issue. Chair Beaty suggested that this information be included in the Heights Highlites newsletter. Batchelder informed the Commission that the Council is of the opinion that the Commission has made significant progress throughout the past three years. He stated the Council is anxious to receive an update on the Action Plan. Chair Beaty directed staff to include the Action Plan on the June agenda. Chair Beaty suggested that an article on the north/south runway reconstruction project should be included in the newsletter. He stated that figures depicting runway use percentages should be included. The Commission continued discussion regarding appointments to the MAC. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 8 't Commissioner Gross suggested that the City politically pursue two appointments on the MAC board. Chair Beaty stated that this would require a significant change to the MAC that would include the passing of a Bill in the House and Senate. He stated that Districts would need to be formed. He stated that the City should consider studying who should co-author such a Bill. Chair Beaty suggested that this topic be discussed by the NDCARC. MISCELLANEOUS Commissioner Gross moved to recommend that the Airport Relations Commission meetings adjourn promptly at 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Fitzer seconded the motion. Chair Beaty stated that he would like to work towards adjourning their meetings by 9:00 p.m. and that he disagrees in making a 9:00 p.m. adjournment time mandatory. Commissioner May stated he agrees with the motion in that a 9:00 p.m. adjournment time may give the Commission an opportunity to discuss items on the agenda in a more efficient manner. VOTE ON THE MOTION: AYES: 3, FITZER, GROSS, MAY NAYS: 3, BEATY, STEIN, DES ROCHES MOTION FAILS UPDATE ON ROGER'S LAKE BOUNDARY BLOCK REaUEST Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that he had revised his request to add three more homes to the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program. He explained that he had spoken with Mr. Steve Vecchi regarding the City's recent letter requesting that four homes on Swan Drive be added to the Part 150 program. Mr. Vecchi had informed the City that the three homes west of Swan Drive should also be included. Batchelder stated that he has not yet heard from Mr. Vecchi's office confirming the additional homes in the sound insulation program. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 9 4 UPDATE ON FAA TOWER DEDICATION Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that Mayor Mertensotto and himself had attended the recent tower dedication ceremony. The Commission directed staff to pursue dates for the Commission to tour the new tower. ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF VARIOUS REPORTS/CORRESPONDENCE The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC Agenda for April 22, 1997 and March 25, 1997 Minutes. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC's Technical Advisor's Report for March 1997. Chair Beaty noted a low percentage of Mendota Heights complaints in the month of March. He noted that Runway 4-22 has been used more, especially during night time hours. Commissioner Des Roches stated that she would like to discuss interpretation of these reports during her orientation meeting. Commissioner Gross noted that 53.8 percent of aircraft operations were Stage III and 46.2 percent of aircraft operations were Stage II. He stated that NW is using more Stage III aircraft but that other carriers must still be using Stage II aircraft at MSP. The Commission acknowledge receipt of MASAC's Monthly Complaint Summary for March 1997. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC's Corridor Gate Penetration Analysis for March 1997. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC Operations Committee Minutes for April 7, 1997. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the NDCARC Minutes for April 15, 1997. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the Airport Noise Report. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the Northwest Airlines Stage III Compliance Report - April 22, 1997. A/RPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON M/NUTES - MAY 14, 1997 10 The Commission acknowiedged receipt af fihe Eagan ARC Agenda for May 15, 199�. MlSCELLANEOUS Commissioner Stein inquired if the Commission is interested in having an instructor from Inver Hills Community College attend an upcoming Airport Relations Commission mee#ing to discuss privatelcommercial aviatian forecasts and the possibility of the airport relocating. Chair Beaty suggested tF�afi the speaker attend the June Airport Relations Commission meeting. Administra#or Batchetder informed the Commission that the annual NQ1SE conference is being hosted by the City of Eagan in July. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Airport Relations Commission adjourned its meeting at 9:05 p.m. RespectFully su6mitted, Kimberlee K. Blaeser Senior Secretary AIRPORT RFLATIONS COMMJSSJON MINUTES - MAY 14, 7'997 11 y �� CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY.NIINNESOTA PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MIlVUTES MAY 13, 1997 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, May 13, 1997, in the Large Conference Room at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve. The meeting was called to order at 6:40 PM. The following Commissioners were present: Norton, Libra, Kleinglass, and Linnell. Chair Spicer and Commissioners Liberacki and Damberg were excused from the meeting. Also present were Recreation Programmer Chris Esser and Administrative Assistant Patrick C. Hollister. AGENDA Commissioner Kleinglass moved to place the Ivy Hill Park Donation Offer item first on the agenda after approval of the Minutes, since Mr. Oyen was in attendance at the start of the meeting. Commissioner Linnell seconded the motion. AYES: 4 NAYS: 0 APPROVAL OF APRIL S PARK AND RECREATION MIl�TUTES Commissioner Libra moved to approve the Apri18, 1997 Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes with no corrections. Commissioner Kleinglass seconded the motion. AYES: 4 NAYS: 0 IVY FALLS PARK DONATION OFFER Mr. Ralph Oyen of Ivy Hill Townhouse Association presented a letter to the City of Mendota Heights dated May 2, 1997 stating that at the last meeting of the Association, the members voted to offer to quitclaim Lot F immediately east of Ivy Falls Park to the City for park purposes. Mr. Oyen explained that the property was reserved in 1970 through a restrictive covenant for recreational use for people in that development. Mr. Oyen said that the restrictive covenant would end in the year 2000. Mr. Oyen said that when the townhome development was approved by the City, the land was dedicated as open space for density purposes. Mr. Oyen said that as early as 1980 the Association voted 74% in favor of donating it to the City. Mr. Oyen said that many people already assume it is part of the park and use it in that fashion. Mr. Oyen said that the Association has made no attempt to restrict or discourage public enjoyment of the land. Mr. Oyen said that he felt that it made more sense for it to be owned by the City. Commissioner Kleinglass asked who owns the land and who currently paid the taxes for this land. Mr. Oyen said that all four Associations were supposed to jointly own the land, but that legally that was not the case. Mr. Oyen said that officially the Ivy Hill Townhouse Association owns the land. Mr. Oyen continued that the Ivy Hill Townhouse Association currently pays 35/84ths of the taxes for this land, and that the other three Associations reimburse the Ivy Hill Townhouse Association for their share. Mr. Oyen continued that only 3 Associations are named on the quitclaim but that the other Association's units are not mentioned. Mr. Oyen said that the Ivy Hill Association is empowered to unilaterally donate the land to the City if it so desires. Mr. Oyen said that his group wished to either donate the land to the City or quitclaim the deed to the other Associations. Mr. Oyen added that the other A.ssociations did not want the land. Mr. Oyen added that the land was cunently valued at $56,000 and that the Association paid $1500 per year in taxes on the land. Mr. Oyen said that City Staff felt that the land was over-assessed by the County. Commissioner Kleinglass asked who currently maintains the properry. Mr. Oyen responded that the four Associations cooperate together to maintain the property. Commissioner Libra asked if the condominium association is in favor of donating the land to the City. Mr. Oyen responded that the condominium association has mixed emotions about donating this land. Mr. Oyen continued that the Associations had talked about maintaining some sort of gardens on the land, but that nothing had ever been done. Commissioner Libra asked if the neighbors would object to an active use for the land if it were incorporated into the City Park system. Mr. Oyen said that some of his neighbors might object to an active use such as a soccer facility there but that the majority of the neighbors would not object. Mr. Oyen continued that he personally wasn't concerned because in the adjacent park nothing seems to get used except the ballfields and the children's playground. Commissioner Linnell said that the City needed more athletic facilities for active use during peak times such as evenings and weekends. Commissioner Libra said that Staff should pursue this title report and find out which Associations may be required to join in the deed. Mr. Libra said that the City should also solicit neighbors' opinions on the possibility of donating this park land to the City. 2 l r" .� Commissioner Libra moved that recommend that Staffreview options, get a title report, and bring this item back to the 7une meeting. Commissioner Linnell seconded the motion. Commissioner Norton offered a friendly amendment that Staff research the potential suitable uses for this land. Commissioner Libra accepted the amendment. AYES: 4 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Libra suggested that Mr. Oyen talk to the other associations about donating this land. Mr. Oyen said that he had, and that he had received no response. OPEN SPACE TOUR The Commission decided to postpone the Open Space Tour to a future meeting due to the absence of three Commissioners and the inclement weather. DOYLE PARK DONATION OFFER (810 RIDGE PLACE) Mr. Hollister explained that Mr. 7ohn Doyle of 810 Ridge Place had asked about the possibility of subdividing his back lot and offering it to the City as an addition to Valley Park for a tax deduction. Mr. Hollister continued that Staff has considered placing this item on the May 20, 1997 agenda of the City Council for discussion, and that before the Council meeting, Staffwould like any comments from the Parks Commission. Mr. Hollister also mentioned that the City should consider possible neighborhood opposition to this acquisition, and that some neighborhood notification process would have to occur if this transfer were to take place. Mr. Hollister also mentioned the issues of liability and maintenance. On the positive side, Mr. Hollister said that the parcel would be adjacent to an existing park and may allow the City better access to the sewer easement which runs across the back yaxd. Mr. Hollister concluded that if the City were to acquire part of this parcel, the City may only want that portion up to the sewer easement. Commissioner Libra said that this land was not very useful to the City. Commissioner Norton asked if the City had a permanent easement for the trail. 3 Mr. Hollister responded that this was the case. Commissioner Linnell said that this land should be put on the postponed Open Space Tour. Commissioner Libra said that the neighbors would probably object to the donation. Commissioner Kleinglass said that he did not feel that the City would gain very much by acquiring the land. Commissioner Kleinglass made a motion recommending that the City not pursue further the acquisition of this land. Commissioner Libra seconded the motion. AYES: 4 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Kleinglass said that he appreciated the offer but that the land was best kept in private hands. PARK DEDICATION FEE INCREASE PROPOSAL Mr. Hollister explained that at the Apri18, 1997 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Commission had asked Staffto come back to the next meeting with an updated open space/park facilities inventory and a proposal to increase fees. Mr. Hollister presented the Park Inventory and summarized the current Park Dedication Policy. Mr. Hollister continued that for sake of discussion, Staff had proposed a Resolution that would increase the fee for residential lots from $750 to $900, assuming an average of 3% inflation rate for each year from 1991 to 1997. Commissioner Libra said that rather than merely adjust the fee for inflation the City should rewrite the fee policy so that the fee was due at the time of building permit issuance and was charged on a per unit basis, rather than collecting the fee at the time of subdivision on a per lot basis. Commissioner Libra continued that he felt that this would be the best way for the City to make sure that it collected the proper amount from the construction of housing units such as apartments, townhomes and duplexes. Commissioner Linnell suggested raising the dollar amount to $1000 single family and $500 multi-family. Commissioner Linnell asked if the Park Dedication fee applied to someone replacing an existing structure. Mr. Hollister said that that is not the case. � rj i. The Commission asked Staffto return to next month's meeting with a new proposal reflecting Commissioner Libra's comments. UPDATES Staff provided updates on the following items: PARAC Meetin� Mr. Hollister explained that he and Mr. Esser had attended the Annual PARAC meeting at Camp Sacajawea in Lebanon Hills on May 7, 1997. Mr. Hollister said that various Cities in Dakota County had made presentations about developments in Parks and Recreation. Mr. Esser explained that one of the highlights of the meeting was discussion of the new Fort Snelling State Park Master Plan. Mr. Esser continued that he had served on the committee that drafted the plan. Mr. Esser then gave a brief overview of the major points of the Master Plan. Commissioner Norton asked if the plan included paving bike trails. Mr. Esser responded that some bike trails would be paved. Mr. Esser also offered to make a draft of the plan available to the Commission. Mr. Esser also said that the plan has not yet been officially adopted, but that the adoption was expected to happen soon. Wentworth Park Shelters Mr. Hollister explained that Commissioner Libra had asked Staff to provide plans for the Wentworth Park Shelters. Mr. Hollister provided the plans. Making America Walkable Mr. Hollister explained that this information had been provided to the Parks and Recreation Commission by Engineering Technician Guy Kullander. Parks Report There were no comments on this item. Police Report Mr. Hollister explained that the April Police Report was not yet available. 5 OTHER COMIV�NTS The Commissioners asked Staff to invite the Police Chief and Maintenance Crew to a future meeting to talk about the parks. The Commissioners asked Commissioner Linnell to provide an update on the status of North Kensington Park. Commissioner Linnell said that he had met with Councilmember Smith and Mr. Kullander and had reached a compromise. Commissioner Linnell continued that Councilmember Smith had wanted more of the area done in shrubs. Commissioner Libra said that North Kensington Park needed to get done this spring. IVY FALLS Commissioner Linnell asked if the City had contracted anyone to clean up the pond at Ivy Falls. Mr. Hollister said that he would ask Staff about this. Commissioner Norton asked for an Update at the next meeting on ivy Falls Pa.rk. ADJOURN Motion made to adjourn by Kleinglass and seconded by Libra.

In the past two months we have responded to more than 61 � of all calls since January. For the month of April we responded to probably the biggest variety of calls in years. The types of calls varied from the usual car fires and false alarms, to a gunshot wound and a hazardous materials leak. On Apri16 we responded to a residential house where an adult and child were stuck in an elevator. Fortunately, about the only call we didn't have was any type of structure fire, which is certainly good news. The most serious call for the month was at Lloyds Meats on April 13 for an ammonia leak. Upon arrival the building was evacuated. The building mai.ntenance personnel met with us prior to entry. We reviewed the building pre plan as well as the MSDA sheet on ammonia and had back up personnel ready before entry. We used their ammonia detector to determine the levels of contamination and containment of leak. We set up a decontamination area to rinse entry firefighters upon exiti.ng from the building. Ammonia appeared saturated within oil that leaked from an air compressor. We notified State Duty OfFicer and turned the buildi.ng over to maintenance. No injuries reported. TRAINING - General Drill The months general drill consisted of multi-engi.ne company operations. This drill provided fire fighters "hands on" experience in relay pumping using more than one fire engine and more than one hydrant and multiple hand lines. We simulated a structure fire in a specific area of the City and ti.med our response and evaluated our efficiency in pumping and water supply operations. SQUAD DRILL The squad drill for the month was spent walking through the 3M building on Lexington Avenue. This is the same buildi.ng in which we had a fire from a chemical reaction earlier this year. In years past we have not been able to gain access to the buildi.ng, due to the classified experiments that have taken place. This was one of the most interesting buildings we have ever toured in our City. Each squad toured every square foot of the buildi.ng. This experience gives �us a much better approach as to the buildi.ng layout, escape routes, sprinkler connections and valves, hazardous material locations, and so on. �.

Kevin Batchelder, City A � r Subject: Change in Hours of Operation at the Public Works Garage DISCUSSION This memorandum is to notify City Council that a change in the hours of operation for those employees based out of the public works garage will be implemented on June 1, 1997. On that date, all public works employees will begin working a shift beginning at 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. This work shift will apply to the Public Works Superintendent, as well as, the nine public works employees in the bargaining unit. The Public Works employees have presented a number of good reasons to support this change in the hours of operation, primarily based around the earlier start time of 7 a.m. In the Parks department, an earlier start time will allow for fertilizing and spraying when there is less wind in the morning, mowing around pla.y equipment before public use, and inspecting the equipment and fields prior to public use. In the winter, an earlier start time will allow earlier floodi.ng so that the ice rinks "set up" before early afternaon use. In the Streets department, an earlier start time is beneficial for picking up mix at the asphalt plant and avoiding traffic, thereby allowing an earlier start time for street repairs. The goal of the City's policy on snow plowing is to open the City streets before rush hour and on days when sandi.ng for ice is necessary, the 7 a.m. start time will prove beneficial. Finally, this shift in work hours is consistent with blue collar work hours that typically begin their day at an earlier hour. It is anticipated that this shift in hours will baost the morale of the public works employees. Their main goal is to continue to provide quality services to the residents of Mendota Heights. The Employer Authority clause that has e�risted in the Public Works contract for many years clearly stipulates that the employer retains the full and unrestricted right to establish work schedules and to manage the manpower, facilities and equipment. ACTION REQUIRED If Council so desires, they should pass a motion authorizing the establishment of a new work schedule of 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m , to be implemented 7une 1, 1997, for all Public Works employees.

Danielson, Public Works Direc�r SUBJECT: Septic System Ordinance Update DISCiJSSION: At the April 15th meeting, Council adopted the County's Uniform Septic System Ordinance and authorized staff to utilize Mr. Ron Wasmund to complete the City's septic system plan reviews and inspections. In order to maintain certification as a licensed septic system inspector, inspectors have to complete a minimum of ten inspections per year. Performing ten inspections per year is not possible in Mendota Heights, therefore our staff would be unable to maintain their certification and we need to contract separately for that work. At that April 15th meeting Council asked me to investigate what the cost for Mr. Wasmund's services would be for a normal review and inspection. The total cost to a homebuilder for a standard septic system review will be $125 ($50 for plan review and $75 for inspection). For any reinspections or special inspections, Mr. Wasmund's rates aze $45/hour with a one hour minimum (see attached letter). The other main change that this new County ordinance mandates is that, upon sale, homeowners will need to contract with an inspector of their choice to perform an inspection of their septic system. That inspector will then fill out and submit a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency form designating his findings. When the City is notified of failing or non-conforming systems, we will send a notice to the affected homeowners informing them of the requirement that they bring their system into compliance. I intend to draft an article for the City's upcoming spring newsletter informing the residents of this new ordinance and its requirements. Dakota County is also mounting a campaign through realtors and news media to inform properry owners throughout the County of the new ordinance and its requirements. ACTION REQUIRED: This memo is in response to Council request for additional information and no formal action is required.

Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer"'" ' SUBJECT: Equipment Replacement Reserve ��'�«��3L�I�1 For each of the past two years, we have transferred $25,000 from our General Fund Budget into a reserve. The purpose of the reserve is to eventually eliminate the need to issue Equipment Certificates for major purchases. In 1996, we transferred an additional $50,000 to the reserve based on favorable operations in 1995. At this time, I would like to transfer the $25,000 for 1997 along with an additional $50,000 based on favorable 1996 operations. The reserve will now total $175,000. Purchases which could apply in the future would include major road and bridge trucks, conversion to 800 MHz radio system and fire equipment. ' � 1 i_. • i � Approve transfer of $25,000 for 1997 and an additional $50,000 for 1996. LES:kkb � 'J ,'� CITY OF MENDOTA HIIGHTS �� • May 13, 1997 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: Guy Kullander, Ciry Hall Building Manager SUBJECT: Expansion Space Improvements DISCUSSION• The Lower Level Expansion space was divided in 1995 to provide a Police Records Storage area approxi.mately 200 square feet in size, leaving approximately 800 squaze feet of unfinished space. Council directed staff to prepare a layout of the remaining space and to develop a budget for improvements so that this area could be used as a third meeting room in City Hall. PROPOSED LAYOUT A part of this area is currently used for storage and while some of the items can be relocated or disposed of some of the existing items cannot be accommodated in other storage azeas withi.n City Hall and would need to be stored off-site. To maintain some ability to store items, I recommend that a partition wall be erected at the east end of the space allowing 175 square feet for storage and the remaining 625 square feet for a meeting room. This layout is illustrated on the attached drawing. Improvements to the space would consist of installing vinyl floor tile, completing the installation of the heat, ventilation, and air conditioning system, (which has been stubbed in), addition of electrical outlets (to meet code), installation of adequate lighting, addition of the partition wall and installation of a dropped ceiling (matching the existing lobby ceiling). The current walls are painted concrete block or sheetrock and no wall treatments are proposed with these improvements. � COST ESTIlVIATE I have only received one bid for each of the following items so I am confident that the final budget/cost will be under $11,000. Flooring $2,200 Heating, Vent., A/C $2,500 Electrical $2, 600 Ceiling and Wall $2,900 Contingency 10� $1,OQ0 $11,200 ACTION REOUIRED: If City Council wishes to proceed with the improvements in the Lower Level Expansion area at this time, they should direct staff to seek additional competitive bids for Council review.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO �� cc�-� � � May 15, 1997 . ��--�v —� TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admini t� �or FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: 810 Ridge Place Park Donation Offer (Mr. 7ohn Doyle) Discussion At the May 13, 1997 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Commission discussed an offer from Mr. John Doyle of 810 Ridge Place to donate part of his property to the City for park purposes. Mr. Doyle had talked with Staff about subdividing his back yard from his house. Staff informed Mr. Doyle that the City does not pernut the creation of lots without street access. Mr. Doyle then asked about the possibility of subdividing his back lot and offering it to the City as an addition to Valley Park for a tax deduction. Staff agreed to place this item on the May 20, 1997 agenda of the City Council for discussion. Staffnoted the following concerns to the Parks Commission about the City acquiring this land and adjoining it to Valley Park: 1. Possible nei�;hborhood o�position. Mr. Doyle's neighbors may not want his back yard to become City park land. Some neighborhood notification process will have to occur if this transfer is to take place. 2. Liabili . The City will incur liability for this parcel, not only regarding potential injury, but also general cleaning and maintenance. 3. Limiterl use as part of the park. It is possible that this acquisition could be of little recreational use. Stafffeels that there are some attractive aspects to acquiring this property, as well: 1. It is adjacent to an existing park. 2. It may allow the City better access to the sewer easement which runs across the back yard. �. _ �' .. a J If the City decided to accept this donation, it would involve the following steps: 1. Mr. Doyle would need to hire an appraiser to deternune the worth of the parcel. 2. Mr. Doyle would have to pursue a subdivision/lot split application. 3. Neighbors would have to be informed of this proposal and be given a chance to make input into the process. 4. Mr. Doyle would bear all the costs of this application procedure. For sake of discussion, Staff has divided the parcel into "Lot A" and "Lot B". (See attached map from Mr. Kullander.) If the City is to acquire part of this parcel, however, the City may only want that portion up to the sewer easement. Recommendation At the May 13, 1997 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Commissioner Kleinglass said that he did not feel that the City would gain very much by acquiring the land. Commissioner Kleinglass made a motion recommending that the City not pursue further the acquisition of this land. Commissioner Libra seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 4-0 vote. (Three Commissioners were absent.) Action Required If the City Council desires to implement the.recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission, they should pass a motion that the City not pursue further acquisition of this land. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHT5 �� May 15, 1997 To: Mayor and City Council From: Kevin Batchelder, City A''atrat , Subject: Noise Abatement Departure Profile - Proposed RESOLUTION INTRODUCTION The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has been studying the issue of Noise Abatement Departure Profiles (NADP) for over a year in an attempt to introduce another noise mitigation measure into the operations of MSP Intemational Airport. On Apri17, 1997, duri.ng the MASAC Operations Committee meeting, MAC staff intraduced their proposal for Noise Abatement Departure Profile procedures. MAC staff is proposing to continue the existing deparlure procedures currently used over the Mendota Heights-Eagan corridor, referred to as Distant Departures. Over the Minneapolis end of the paiallel runways, MAC staff is proposing to switch to the Close-In departure procedures to provide noise relief for Mi.nneapolis residents living in close proximity to the airport property. ` On Apri128, 1997, Mr. John Foggia, of MAC, visited Mendota Heights to present this proposal in detail to city officials. On May 27, 1997, MASAC will consider the MAC staff proposal and make a recommendation to MAC regarding NADP's. The Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission considered this proposal at their meeting on May 14, 1997 and have progosed a resolution that would assist our MASAC representative. DISCUSSION The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued Advisory Circular #9153A stating that each airline must be able to deploy two departure procedures designed to provide noise relief to land uses around airports. These two departure procedures are the Close-In Departure pracedure and the Distant departure pracedure. The local airport operator, in this case MAC, then instructs the airlines which procedure is to be used. Cunently, all depariures at MSP are using the Distant depariure procedure. According to the attached April 7, 1997 MASAC Operations committee minutes, the Distant departure procedure is designed to reduce noise to distant communities by gaining more altitude close to the airport and combini.ng reduced thrust and altitude for noise reduction. The alternative departure procedure, the Close-In departure procedure helps reduce noise to close-in communities by reducing the thrust at the beginning of a climb. The noise relief from different depariure procedures is applicable to the Stage II aircraft, such as the DC-9 and 727. There is no discernable difference in noise reduction from different procedures for the newer Stage III airplanes. A federal mandate is requiring that an all Stage III fleet be implemented by the year 2000. MAC staff has provided computer generated modeling analysis to determine which departure procedures would henefit which communities. (Please see attached MSP - 1994 Parcel Counts, Residential Parcel and Area Summary by Community and Contour Maps.) This analysis is based on 1994 Airport operations and 1996 population information provided by Dakota County GI5. Another assumption of this analysis, is based on the Airlines Pilot's Association's (ALPA) and the FAA's insistence that both the north and south parallel runways have the same departure pracedure at each end of the runways, in other words, that 11L and 11R have the same procedure and that 29R and 29L have the same procedure. According to this analysis, there are 101 Mendota Heights' residential parcels within the DNL 65 noise contour for the distant departure procedure that would be outside the DNL 65 noise contour if the departure operations were changed to a Close In departure pracedure. Another way of looking at this data, is that there are 470 residential or school pazcels within the DNL 65 under the current Distant departure procedures. Because the Close In departure procedure shrinks the area withi.n the DNL 65, DNL 70 and DNL 75 noise contours, as demonstrated on the MAC noise contour map, it would be reasonable to assume that all 452 residential parcels within those noise contours would be receiving less noise, on average. At the DNL 60 contour line, this analysis shows that Mendota Heights would benefit from the current Distant departure procedure by 11 residential parcels. The Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission feels strongly that Mendota Heights could benefit from a switch to the Close-In departure pracedures and that a test period is warranted to determine if there is a true benefit. With the Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS), MAC could test the Close In procedure over a period of time to determine if this procedure would be beneficial to the Mendota Heights-Eagan air noise corridor. RECONIlVIENDATION The Airport Relations Commission unanimously recommends that the City of Mendota Heights support a switch to the Close-In Departure procedure for the Mendota Heights-Eagan comdor and that a test of this procedure by ANOMS be implemented by MAC staff. The Airport Relations Commission provided direction to staff to draft a proposed resolution supporting this recommendation. .` ACTION REOUIRED If the Council desires to implement the recommendation of the Airport Relations Commission, they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 97-_, A RESOLUTION REQUE5TING A CHANGE IN TI� DEPARTURE PROCEDURES FOR TI� MENDOTA I�IGHTS-EAGAN CORRIDOR. G CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAgOTA COUNTY, A�IINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 97- A RESOLUTION REQUFSTING A CHANGE IN THE DEPARTURE PROCEDURES FOR THE MENDOTA HEIGHTS-EAGAN CORRIDOR WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is considering the establishment of Noise Abatement Depariure Profile procedures to provide noise mitigation to communities sunounding Minneapolis-St. Paul Intemational Airport; and WHEREAS, the MAC has an established practice of giving prime consideration to those areas most heavily impacted by air noise; and WHF.REAS, the MAC analysis demonstrates that 470 residential or school properties within Mendota Heights would experience a reduction in noise levels within the DNL 65 noise contour if the current Distant departure procedure was switched to a Close-In departure procedure; and WHEREAS, a test period of the Close-In departure procedure over the Mendota Heights-Eagan corridor would provide data to the A.N.O.M.S. that could determine the real benefit of a the Close-In departure procedure for noise mitigation purposes. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, that Mendota Heights formally requests that the Metropolitan Airports Commission implement the Close-In departure procedure for the Mendota Heights-Eagan corridor and that this pracedure be tested by the A.N.O.M.S. to determine the true noise 1eve1 reductions. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 20th day of May, 1997. CITY COUNCII. CITY OF MENDOTA II�IIGHTS By Chazles E. Mertensotto, Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M.

The new Northern Service Center will provide a single location for the consolidation of County services in the northern part of the county. The County is looking for a 20 -25 acre site and they are notifying all the northem Dakota County municipalities about their site search and their criteria. The County's CIP anticipates the completion of the 110,000 - 160,000 sq. ft. building in the year 2000. (Please see attached letter and summary from Brandt Richardson, County Administrator.) There are a few sites in Mendota Heights that would meet the site selection criteria, with the one major exception being the direct accessibility to public transportation. As the City Council is aware, Mendota Heights is under-served by public transportation and there are not many direct or fixed routes that serve our commerciaUindustrially zoned properties. ACTION REOUIRED This item is being placed on your agenda for information purposes only. Without specific direction from City Council, staff will not be pursuing the identif'ication of a Mendota Heights site for the proposed Northern Dakota County Service Center.

We are looking forward to working with you to identify potential sites that could address both the County's need for expanded office space and support your economic development efforts. We believe that this is a rare opportunity to co-locate a variety of public services and explore the potential for private partnerships as well. The new Northern Service Center will provide a single location for the consolidation of County services in the northern part of the county. The new building will be approximately 110,000-160,000 square feet and house a variety of community service departments, two courtrooms, and a County service desk similar to the one at the Western Service Center. Our minimum site requirement is 12 acres; however, to insure there is adequate space for future expansion, a 20-25 acre site is most desirable. Current plans and the County's CIP call for completion of the project in the year 2000. Our ability to meet this target is, of course, subject to alterations in state law which may affect our programs or financing. On April 8, 1997, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners endorsed a site selection process and selection criteria (copy attached). Staff will identify potential sites by early summer and review these with you before develcpirg a final list. If you have sites to recommend for our evaluati�n during this initial screening, please contact Ken Harrington, Capital Facilities Planning Manager, at 438-4542. Please call me if you have any questions about the process.

In addition to 5'7,600 square feet in the e�sting Narthem Service Center on Wentworth Ave,, the co�znty leases more than 42,000 square feet in faur locatians in South and West St. Paul. Mast of the offices located in the northern area are cammunity services or court facilities. Co-lacating these services under one roof will be more efficient and more convenient to the public. In addition, a"ane-stop" service counter, similar ta the one at the Western Service Center will be lacated at the new NSC. Relief for the Western Service Center The 1997 Long Range Facilities Plan identified a need for additional office space at both the Hastings Gavernment Center and Western Service Center (WSC} beyand 200Q. However, for fiscal reasons, additions at these buildings aze not scheduled unti12005 or beyond. The County will need to tease space un#iI additians can be planned at either ar both facilities. The opening of the NSC offers a lower cost alternative for providing temporary relief for the Western Service Center by shifting some staff ta the new building. Staff in the Division af Community Services have been reviewing a variety of options for distributing programs and staff between the NSC and the t�SC to make the best use of available space. Hawever, the space planned for the new Northem Service Center (110,000 sq. ft.) may not be adequate to provide sufficient space for community services pragrams and relief for the Western Service Center. Space needs at the NSC will be evaluated as part of the 1998-2Q03 CIP. The following departments and progxams are tentatively planned for the Ttorthern Service Center: Community Services Adminisiraiion Sacial Services (approxirnately 50°/a of the staf:� Public Health {approximately SO°lo of the staff} Employment and Econamic Assistance (appro�imately 50% of the staff without Job Services} Child Support & Collections Community Carrecti�ns (staff divided between ail three government centers) Veterans Services "4ne-stop" Service Desk Judicial Sets - two Courtzooms - finished based on caseload needs judges chambers court support spaces Board meeting roorn ,. a • ' Northern Service Center Site Selection Criteria Search Area criteria Purpose: To narrow the field for potential sites by identifying only those azeas that would be most desirable far locating the Northern Service Center Criteria.

Swanson ��S City Clerk SUBJECT: Network Printer INFORMATION The existing network printer, a Hewlett Packard Laserjet IIISi is now over five yeaxs old and is showing signs of age. Its replacement is included in the 1997 budget. DISCUSSION The dependability and capability of the primary network printer are essential to our computer network. All but one of the twelve networked computers rely on this equipment for all of their printing output. The existing printer has served us well, and I believe it would continue to be beneficial to our network if it were set up as a secondary printer, but it has begun to give us problems because of the heavy daily volume of printing. I have asked for quotes from three vendors who carry the Hewlett Packard line of printers, Crabtree Company, Microage and Krech's Business Systems. Since all of the city's laser printers have been HP and we have had very good experience with those products, I have not taken quotes on other brands. The low quote was from Crabtree for a network-ready HP Laserjet SSiNX, for $2,760 for the base unit plus $429 for an envelope feeder and $79 for additional memory, making its total quote $3,268 (plus tax). The quotes from Krechs and Microage were $3,529 and $3,420 respectively. All of the bids were significantly under the $5,000 which is budgeted for printer replacement. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that Council authorize the purchase of a Laserjet SSiNX network printer from the Crabfxee Company, financing to be shazed by the Administration, Engineering and Utility Departments. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs in the recommendation, it should authorize the issuance of a purchase order to the Crabtree Company for the purchase of a Hewlett-Packard Laserjet SSiNX printer for its low quote of $3,268 plus tax.

DARTS has a history of providing transit service to the seniors and persons with disabilities throughout Dakota County. Dial-A-Ride service by DARTS would connect riders from Mendota Heights to a proposed transit hub in the vicinity of Robert St. and Marie Avenue in West St. Paul so that connections to local routes, express and circulator service can be made. In addition, there is the possibility that the 95MU, an express service to downtown Minneapolis, would be re- routed to use T.H. 110 through Mendota Heights and over the Mendota Bridge. This is not proposed to be done currently, but projected as a future possibility. Concerns e�ressed by Mendota Heights riders at the May 14, 1997 public heari.ng were the loss of the convenience of a fixed route, especially the #SD. Dial-A-Ride service. requires 24 hour notice and convenience becomes a factor. MCTO staff has informed us that Dial-A-Ride customers could "subscribe" to service, however, that is not spelled out in the proposal. A fixed DARTs route during peak hours should be considered. The benefit of Dial-A-Ride Service is that it would provide off-peak service, which is currently unavailable in Mendota Heights. Dial-A-Ride service would use much smaller buses than the typical MCTO forty footer and would also conduct front door stops. MCTO should explain how a Dial-A-Ride customer would "subscribe". } AC1'ION REQIRRED Acknawlecige the presentation by Mr. Legler, MCTO, and Mr. Hoisser, DARTS, and discuss the praposed service changes. If the Cauncii so desires, they should direct city st.a.ff on preparing any comments for the public record. Atten�ion l�ar�hern Dakota ��ou�ty Transit �ustomers Public Hearings an Service Changes .

Proposed Route Ghanges The fallowing route changes aze proposed as part of the narthern Dakota County transit redesign process. In aimost aIl cases, discontinued service wou�d be replaced by new service of the same or higher quality. Most transit customers will receive increased bus service, either in the form of increased geographic caverage or more frequent senrice. • . . MCTU Rot�T� 5 Route 5 would be dramaticaily altered to make way for new service an othez routes. In ail cases, discontinued Route 5 service would be replaced by other routes. . . Existing Route SLI, SE and SF branches would be eliminated. Route SD service to Mendota Heights wouid be reptaced by dial-a-ride service aperated by DARTS (see beIow). Metropotitan Councii Transit Operations NortF�em Dakata County Transit Redesign � Page 1 Route SE and SF service to Salem Green Apartments, Lake Cove�Apartments, Group Health, Cenex; - Southview Gables Apartments, Westview Valu Center, Share Clinic and West Saint Paul Tazget would b� replaced by a combination of Route 8 service changes, new Route 412 Circulator service and new Route 452 Express service. ', New Route SG would provide service on Thompson Avenue between Robert Street and �Fifth Avenue, and on Fifth Avenue between Thompson and South Avenue. This would replace Route 8B and 8C service (see below). MCTO ROUTE 7 Route 7F, which currently provides eight morning and eight afternoon trips to Mendota Heights, would be eliminated. This lightly-used service would be replaced by more convenient all-day dial-a-ride service operated by DARTS. The dial-a-ride would be available to all Mendota Heights residents, including those customers currently using Route 7F, and would make convenient connections to regular-route, express and circulator service at the West Saint Paul Transit Hub (see below). , MCTO RouTE 8 Four significant changes to Route 8 service are proposed: 1. Route 8B and 8C service on Thompson Avenue and on 12th Avenue to Southview Boulevard would be rerouted to follow the current path of 8D, 8E and 8F service on Robert Street, Marie Avenue, Oakdale Avenue, and Southview Boulevard. Route 8B would continue to serve the Carroll and McKay hi-rises and Route 8C would continue to serve Fifth Avenue as far as South Street. 2. Route 8D, 8E and 8F service south of South Street would be eliminated. Most service on Carmen Avenue, 67th Street, Clayton Avenue, 70th Street, Dawn Avenue, Concord Bo.ulevard, 75th Street, . 78th Street, Cahill Avenue and College Trail, and service to Village Square Center and Inver Hills Community College would be replaced by circulator service on the new Route 412 circulator operated � by DARTS. ' 3. Route 8G Express service between downtown Saint Paul�and Inver Hills Community College would be replaced by new Route 451 Express service (see below). ' 4. New Route 8H would be added during weekday rush hours to serve Lake Cove Apartments, Salem Green Apartments, Health Partners, and Cenex. This replaces service. currently provided by routes SE and SF. Midday and weekend service to these areas would by provided by the Route 412 circulator. New Route 8H also would provide service on South Robert Trail between. Ashley Lane and Upper SSth Street, where bus service currently is not available. . MCTO RouTE 11 Moming and afternoon Route 11 E, I 1 J, 11 F and 11 K service south of 75th Street and Dawn Avenue would be eliminated. Service on 80th Street, Cahill Avenue and College Trail to Inver Hills Community College would be replaced by the new Route 451 Express rush-hour service to and from downtown Saint Paul. Remaining Route 11 service would be extended to travel on Concord between 70th and 75th streets. Metropolitan Councii Transit Operations . Northem Dakota County Transit Redesign Page 2 DARTS ROUTE 412 CIRCULATOR The new Route, 412 Circulator would provide all-day weekday and weekend local� service between Inver Grove Heights and West Saint Paul. This service, operated by DARTS using small buses, would cover most of those areas from which existing Route 8 and Route 11 service would be removed. The circulator also would improve travel between Inver Grove Heights and West Saint Paul and improve transfers to . frequent service into downtown Saint Paul. � The circulator would run a fixed route starting from the West Saint Paul Transit Hub (near Robert Street and Marie Avenue). From there, the circulator would run west on Marie to Livingston Avenue, south on Livingston to Mendota Road, east on Mendota to Robert Street, south.on Robert to SOth Street East, east and south on SOth to Ashley Lane, east on Ashley back to SOth, east on SOth to Babcock Trail, south ori Babcock to Upper SSth Street, including stops at Lake Cove Apartrnents and Cenex, east on Upper SSth to Highway 52, south on 52 to 70 Street, east on 70th to Blaine Avenue, south on Blaine to Inver Hills Community College, east on College Trail to Cahill Avenue, north on Cahill to 80th Street, east on 80th Street to Dawn Avenue, north on Dawn to 75th Street, west on 75th to Clayton Avenue, north on Clayton to 67th Street, west on 67th to Carmen Avenue, west and north on Carmen to Upper SSth, west on Upper SSth to Babcock Trail, and then return•to the West Saint Paul Transit Hub. Route 412 Circulator service would follow this route each morning, providing fast service from West Saint Paul to Inver Hills Community College and from the northeast section of Inver Grove Heights up to West Saint Paul. In the afternoon, service would be reversed for fast service from West Saint-Paul to the northeast section of Inver Grove Heights and from Inver Hills Community College back to West Saint Paul. Also, service to Cenex and the Lake Cove Apartments area would vary through the day to provide convenient trips to as many customers as possible. ' . � MCTO RovTE 451 ExPxEss ' The new Route 451 Express would provide rush-hour express service from Inver Hills Community College and Inver Grove Heights to downtown Saint Paul. Route 451 would follow a similar path to Route 412 Circulator morning service from Inver Hills Community College to Upper SSth Street and Highway 52. At that point, Route 451 buses would travel non-stop from Highway 52 to downtown Saint Paul. Route 451 would also provide morning rush-hour service from downtown Saint Paul directly to Inver Hills Community College along Highway 52 and then continue to Inver Grove Heights. During both rush hour and non rush-hour periods (midday, evening, weekends and holidays) service to Inver �rove Heights also would he provided by the Route 412 Circulator. Customers would be able to transfer at the West Saint Paul Transit Hub for service to and from downtown Saint Paul. � MCTO ROUTE 452 LIMITED STOP The new Route 452 Express would provide rush-hour express service from South Saint Paul and West Saint Paul to downtown Saint Paul. Route 452 would start at Fifth Avenue and South Street, go north�on Fifth Avenue to Southview Boulevard, west on Southview to 20th Avenue, south on 20th back to Southview, west on Southview to Oakdale Avenue, north on Oakdale to Thompson Avenue, east on Tliompson to Highway 52 and north on 52 express into Downtown Saint Paul.

MCTO RouTE 29 No changes are proposed for Route 29 rush-hour service from 12th Avenue and Thompson in South Saint Paul into downtown Saint Paul. � MCTO RovTE 95MU In the near term, there are no changes proposed for Route 95MLT service. A new Park & Ride lot at Faith United Methodist Church (at Oakdale Avenue and Schletty, one block south of Thompson) now is available to Route 95MU customers. Future possibilities for Route 95MU include reversing service, to run from South Saint Paul through Mendota Heights, across the Mendota Bridge and along the proposed Hiawatha Transitway into downtown Minneapolis. WEST SAINT PAUL TRANSIT HUB A new timed transfer transit hub is proposed for West Saint Paul, and would be located in the vicinity of the intersection of Robert Street and Marie Avenue: The hub would serve as a focal point for service on Route 8, Route 412 Circulator and Route 95MLJ Express. Depending on the exact location of the transit hub, Route 5, Route 7, and Route 452 Express might also connect there. All schedules would be timed so that cir�ulator buses to and from Inver Grove Heights would make convenient connections with regulaz route service to and from downtown Saint Paul, and, during rush hours, to and from downtown _ Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota. DARTS MENDOTA HEIGHTS DIAL-A-RIDE SERVICE A new dial-a-ride service, operated by DARTS, would be provided to Mendota Heights residents and employees. Customers would reserve service one day in advance for rides anywhere within the service area, including the West St. Paul Transit Hub. At the Transit Hub customers would then be able to make convenient connections to local and express services for travel throughout the region. Dial-a-ride service would replace the rush-hour service on routes 5 and 7 that would be eliminated, and add midday and evening transit service for Mendota Heights customers who are currently unserved. . DARTS WEST SAINT PAUL / SOU'TH SAINT PAUL CIRCULATOR (PHASE II� A future circulator route is proposed for the cities of West Saint Paul and South Saint Paul. This route would provide service to areas not served existing regular-route service and would connect with other circulator and regulaz routes at the West Saint Paul Transit Hub.

The implementatiorr of the redesign initiat�ve should cansidef the foi(owing issues and c�ncems: • While taking tf�e inittative to improve the integration srf MGTO and QARTS services, the redesign praposal fails to address the need of fully integrating transit operations in Dakota County. Impraving links to Minnesota Vailey Transit Autharify (MV7"A} routes ta expand commute and reverse-commute opportunities needs to be addressed ihrough improved connections between the MCTO and MVTA service areas (e.g., #hrough comp(et�an of a trans�t hub in Eagan}. . The contract between N1CT0 and DARTS far senrices prav�ded as part af the transit redesign must include 3 00�'o fundin� for the additiona) sentice anticipated, includittg full funding for ihe capita! eosts assacia#ed with this service (e.g., the additianal of buses to the DARTS fleet). Addiiiona! Caunty funding shauld not De anticipated for costs associated with the additional service. Dakota County will continue to suppart DARTS' focus as a senior and ADA provider; DARTS' addi#ionat service wii� be a supplemeni to its current operations, • Assum�fi�g the a(location of funding for services through MCTO, Dakota County supports ihe use af DARTS to increase availability of intra-community transit and trave( using circulatars to increase service, The need to make circulators avai�abte in 8auth St. Pau( and ItVest St. Pau! is recognized in the redesign, but not funded. • Funding for the prov'tsion af such service should be pursued. • The redesign of transit services must be flexi�{e enough to accommodate service to a new Dakota County Northern Service Center when the new center is siied. To faci(itate this consideration, MCTO should continue to involve Dakota Caunty in #he siting afi the proposed new Transit Hub in the South Robert Stree# corridor. � Dakota Counfy will continue to support addifional park and ride opportunities with express service to downtown St. Pau( and M:nneapoiis ta promote transit use, red�tce energy consvmption, and reduce parking demands in the central cities (particularly i� st.

The Dakota Caur�ty Board of Commissioners is vitalfy interested irt assurl�g the m4st effective senrice possible for Dakota County ci#izens. The purpose of this lstter �s io offer our comments on the p�opased redesign of senrices for northern Dakota County. M�992, Dakota County and the Reg(onai Transit Board (now MCTO} formed a paMership to study transit issues fac�ng daicota Caunty. in March 1993, the ficst phase of this study was completed. The secand phase was comp(eted in Apri3 1894. Titese siudies cancluded thai St. Paul is the primary destination for work trips in northern Dakota Courtty communitCes, Translt service recommendat�ons af #he assessment recognized the need for restructuring of existing regular route serv�ce in nasthern Dakota Caunty; the incc�rparation of a generai public circulato� service ta repiace under-used MCTO services, incorparating DARTS' services in the packages, and the need for additiona) regional operatiny and ca�ita! funding commiiments ta implement the recammendations. The Dakota County Board of Gommissioners applauds the initiative af MCTO and DARTB in recognizing #he issues fdentified in the "Dakota County Transit Needs Assessment" and in proposing a redesign of servicss with the objective of creaiing more transit options for northern Dakota Caunty residents. We tequest that MCTO consider the fiotlowing cammenis and cancems of the Board of Commissianers in finalizing the redesign of the t�ansit seNicas far northem Dakota County. • The need to fully integrate transit cperat�ons and optians. While taking the iniiia#ive to improve the integratior+ of MCTQ and DARTS services, achieving the goa! of rsdesigning transit services to maximize the options af Dakata County residents to �,se trans�t will require ihe additlonal step df integra#ing the MCTO/DARTS system praposed with the services pravided with the Minnesata Vafley Transit Authority (MVTA) to citizens in cenira! and westem Dakota County (as well as Scott Caunty comrnunities}. improving links to MVtA � rautes — sctc3t as thrattgh ihe completion of a transit nub in Eagan — fs needed to expsnd fhe commute and reverse-commufe appo�tunitles which are necessa�y to link peaple to employment and to achieve a"seamless" system of irave! in the Region. ��Y, -20� 9iImU�1 09:31 D�koT� co ENV M�T T��612-891-i388 ---- _.._ P�405_ _ Scoft Thompson, MCT� Narkhern Qakota County Transit Redesign Page 2 Funding redesign.

In our view, DARTS' service as part of #he redesign shauld be a supptement to its current opera#ions Assuming #he a�tacailo� of fur�ding tor services through MCTO, the Dakota County Board af Commfssioners supports the use of DARTS to increase the availa�afity of €ntra-community transit and travel using circulafors.

Danielson, Public Works D' SUBJECT: SuperAmerica Remedial Investigation/Corrective Action Design Review (RI/CAD) DISCUSSION• Delta Environmental, Environmental Consultant for SuperAmerica, has submitted the attached SOS site Corrective Action Design Report for City Council review and approval. According to the terms of their Development Agreement with the City, SuperAmerica needs to have the City Council review and approve their corrective action proposal before it is submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Also attached for Council's information is a copy of the relevant section of the Developer's Agreement . According to the Developer's Agreement, SuperAmerica was to submit a copy of the Remedial Investigation/Corrective Action Design (RUCAD) report to the City within 120 days and prior to submission to the NiPCA. According to Delta the processing procedure for RI/CADs has recenfly been changed by the MPCA (see attached memo). Currently an RI is submitted first to the MPCA, and then "together" the applicant and the MPCA work out a "CAD". The Remedial Investigation Report was submitted to the MPCA and the City in December 1996. Because the RI report is a very thick document with a lot of technical support data attached, I have only attached a copy of the basic document and not included all the appendixes. The CAD report which was prepared by Delta in conjunction with the MPCA is attached in its entirety. Ms. Megan Tewinkel and Mr. Scott Williams, Delta Environment Project Managers, and potentially a staff inember from the MPCA will attend the meeting to review the report with Council. Simply put, the report envisions a biweekly visit to the site by a pumping truck that will extract gasoline and polluted ground water from two of the test holes. This truck will pump the polluted ground water from the two contaminated wells into a tank and then totally remove it from the site for processing. This pump truck and tanker operation will eliminate the need for the construction of a pump house on the site. , 1� ACTION REOUIRED• Review the attached "CAD" report with the representatives from Delta and MPCA to arrive at a plan that can be submitted to the MPCA for approval and implementation. �� such assessments shall be base� on the actual cost of such unparavements, inc2uding withaut limitation, an allocatian of City engineering and overhead in accordance with usual City practices. 8. Right of Way Fasements. The Develc3pers agres to dedicate all right-taf-way easements far the construction of the frontage road reflected on the final plat of the Subdivision at no charge to the City, and agree ta execute any and all such dacuments and instruments as the City shall reasonably request in order ta confum or effectuate such dedication. In addition, the Developers hereby agrea to dedicate a fift�en foat {15'} wide utility easement alang the westerly line of Lot 2, Block 2, as reflected on the final plat of the Subdivision. 9. I}emalitiaa of Eaisting Structures. SuperAmerica agrees to cause all existing structures currently Iocated on the Properiy ta be demolished, an@ all demolition debns and rubble removed, from the Property. The Develogers both agre� that such dernolitian shall be complete prior to the commencement of any constrvction on either Lot l, Biock 1 or Lot l, Block 2 of the Suhdivision. � 10. �nviranmental Cleanu�. As soon as reasonably possible SuperAmerica shall obtain fram the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (the "MPCA"} and the Gity, apprava2 of a finat remedial investigationlcorrective action design ("RUC.AD"} with resp�et tc> all hazardous substances, petroleum or petraleum byproducts, pollution or contamination on, under, from or io the Property (the "Contamination"). SuperAmerica shall submit a proposed RUCAD accegtable to SuperAmerica ta the City within ane hundred twenty (120) days after the date hereof. Upon areceipt af a pmposed RUCAD, the City shall have a periad of thirty {34) days there�after for review, camment and the making of objections thereto. The City shall provide any objections to SuperAmerica in writing within snch t�iirty day periai; if the City fails to object within such period, the City will be deemed #o have vwaived any requirement of City approvat of the RUCAD. In any event, the City will not unt��nably withhald its appmval of the RUCAD, and will not reqezire adclitional work costing more than fifty thousand dollars ($SO,U00.00) over and above the wark already pm�wsed by SuperAmezica in the RUCAD as a canditian of the City's approval. The City may make the final de�ision regarding approval of the RUCAD either before or after MPCA appraval.; provided that such decision shall be made by the City not lat�r than sixty (60} days after the City receives MPCA's letter approving the RI/CAD. SuperAmerica agrees to pursne with all due diligence and campiete all remaval and/or remediation activities set farth in the agpraved RUCAD and all other directives, orders, communications or other requirements of the MPCA related to the Property. SuperAmerica agrees to obtain a"Site Closure Letter" and/ar "Certificate of Completian" regarding the Contamination, as may be applicable, fram the MPCA ar other appropriate governmenbl agency as soon as reasanably possible. SuperAmerica agrees to pravide the City with all repc}rts, carre.5pondence, and any other documentation regarding the Contamination as such dacumentation becomes avaiiabie to SuperAmerica ar which SuperAmerica files with the 1V�.PCA or any ather governmental agency or otherwise provides to third parties relating to the Contamination or the RUCA.D. � 11.

Free product is present in MW-2 and RW-1, which are separated by a distance of 12� feet (Figure 3). Free product thickness at the iwo wells has ranged in October and November of 1996from 9.� to 12.9 feet. Dissolved impacts have been detected in the water table monitoring wells atMW-1 (Total BTEX =192 ug/L), MW-4 (Total B7�Y = 259 ug/L), and MW-8 (Total BTF.X = 5 ug/L). Dissolved petroleum impacts were not detected in MW-3, MW-S, and MW-6, which are located south and west of the site.

The poteniial for vapor migration is low. Sanitarv Sewer: The sanitary sewer that runs adjacent to the site varies in depth. The depth to the sewer at the manhole locations are as follows (see Figure S for location of points): #1: 13 feet #4: 16 feet #2: 6 feet #� 18 feet #3 9 feet #6 19 feet Since the point located adjacent to the free product plume (#2 and #3) are located under 10 feet below ground surface (bgs), and the product plume is located 17 to 19 feet bgs, the product plume does not appear to be in contact with the sanitary sewer. Petroleum impacted soil, however, may be in contact with the sanitary sewer (see Figure 2b). Basements: The threat of impacts to basements is low to nonexistent.

(Delta), on behalf of SuperAmerica a division of Ashland Inc. (SuperAmerica), is conducting a remedial investigation at the future site of SuperAmerica Store No. 4521 in Mendota Heights (Figure 1). A Remedial Investigation RI Report was submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for tiiis site in December 1996. The RI recommended installing additional monitoring wells and recovering the free product at the site. The purpose of this correspondence is to communicate the results of the additional investigation and to make recommendations to the MPCA for future site activities. Since the submittal of the RI to the MPCA, tfie following activities have besn conducted: Pilot Test Results In a conversation with Delta on February 10, 1997, Mr. Steve Thompson of the MPCA requested that Delta conduct a ground water pumping test at the site in the existing recovery well (RW-1). Pilot testing was performed to assess the feasibility of various remediation techniques, including vacuum recovery of free floating gasoline, groundwater extraction, and soil vapor e�raction. Vacuum Recovery On January 22, 1997 a vacuum recovery truck was used to recover free phase product from RW-1 and from MW-2. The vacuum truck was connected to a 1 inch diameter PVC pipe which was extended to just above the product / water interface in the well. A vacuum equivalent to approximately 20 pounds per square inch gauge was applied to the pipe. The pipe was fitted with a section of clear pipe to observe the fluid being extracted. The pipe was raised as fluid was extracted to limit the recovery to gasoline only. In this manner, approximately 90 gallons of gasofine were recovered from the two wells. The procedure was repeated on April 3, 1997, when an additional 11 gallons of gasoline were recovered. Groundwater Extraciion As requested by the MPCA, a pumping test was conducted at RW-1. The testing was conducted on March 7, 1997. The test was conducted for 150 minutes. Approximately 160 gallons of fluid were pumped from the well. The groundwater elevations at MW-13, MW-14 and MW 15 did not show any influence from the ground water extraction. The maximum sustainable yield of the well was approximately 1 gallon per minute, with a corresponding drawdown of just over 11 feet. Calculation of hydraulic conductivity was not conducted based on pumping test results since � RW-1 is screened in finro distinct soil horizons; an upper horizon of primarily low permeability _; silts and clays, and a deeper zone of more permeable sand. A slug test conducted in MW-13, which is screened in the upper unit, indicated the unit had a hydraulic conductivity of 9.25 X � 10-5 cm/sec. We believe that the majority of the water removed during the pumping test came from the more permeable sediments underiying the impacted sediments at the waier table. A concem about pumping water from the lower sand unit is that free phase hydrocarbons that would otherwise be trapped within the relatively impermeable silts and clays could be drawn down into the lower, relatively permeable, sandy soil. Future SuperAmerica No. 4521 Delta Project No. A095-213-I May 5, 1997 Page 2 Soil Vapor Extraction Test On March 7, 1997 a soil vapor extraction test was conducted at MW-13. A one-horsepower regeneraiive vacuum blower was connected to the weil. Approximately 50 inches of vacuum were placed on MW-13. The off-gas was measured with a PID. The PID readings ranged from 36 ppm at the start of the test to 97 ppm at the end of the test, 90 minutes later. A resultant vacuum, or influence, was not detected at any of the suRounding monitoring points. Additional Well Installations The RI report recommended installing four monitoring wells. These wells, MW-9 through MW-12, were installed March 24 through April 4, 1997. Three additional wells, MW-13, MW-14 and MW-15 were installed near RW-1 for observation purposes during the pilot tests. The � locations of the wells is illustrated on Figure 2, and well logs are included with this document. Delta observed Thein Well Company (Thein) of Clara City, Minnesota, drill four soil borings (MW-9 through MW-12) from March 24 through Apri14, 1997. Soil borings were drilled from 34 _ to 55 feet below ground surface (bgs) in borings MW-9 through MW 11 using hollow stem ; auger drilling techniques. Soil boring MW-12 was drilling to 57.5 feet using mud rotary drilling, and from 57.5 to 137 feet using air rotary drilling techniques. Split spoon samples were -- collected from MW-9 and MW-11 for lithologic logging and field headspace screening for total � � organic vapors with a PID. Headspace PID readings are recorded on the soil boring logs. The four soil borings were completed as monitoring wells. Soil boring MW-9 was drilled to 50 feet bgs, approximately 5 feet to the west of MW-8. MW-8 — and MW-9 are located to the north of the site across Highway 110. Soil samples were � collected for headspace screening at five foot intervals. Elevated PID readings (above ; 10 ppm) were detected in samples collected from 34 to 36, 39 to 41, and 44 to 45 feei bgs. ' PID headspace readings collected from samples at depths of 45 to 46 and 49 to 50 feet bgs were both 2 ppm. All otfier sample intervals were below 10 ppm using PID headspace screening. Soils at MW-9 consisted of altemating fayers of sandy silts, silts, and silty/sandy clays to a depth of 32 feet bgs. A sand unit consisting of a very fine to medium-grained sand ranged from 32 to 45 feet bgs. A dense clay unit was located beneath the sand unit and extended to fractured and weathered bedrock at a depth of 48 feet bgs. The weathered bedrock extended to 50 feet bgs at which point the Decorah Shale Formation was encountered. Ground water was located at approximately 16 feet bgs. Soil borings MW-10 through MW-12 were located on the no�theast comer of the site and , placed in a row approximately 5 feet apart. MW-10 was drilled to 34 feet bgs, MW-11 was drilled to 55 feet bgs, and MW-12 was drilled to 137 feet. Soil samples were collected for • headspace screening at five foot intervals from MW-11. There were no elevated PID , headspace readings (above 10 ppm) detected in any of the samples. Soils at MW-10 through MW-12 consisted of a sandy silt to a depth of 19 feet bgs, which graded into a silty sand that extended to 29 feet bgs. A sand unit consisting of a very fine to medium-grained sand ranged from 29 to 40 feet bgs. Approximately 1 foot of silt was encountered beneath the sand unit. A dense clay unit was located beneath the silt and Future SuperAmerica No. 4521 Delta Project No. A095-213-1 May 5, 1997 Page 3 _ extended to 47 feet bgs. A second sand unit was located approximately 47 to 51 feet bgs. A dense clay was again encountered that extended to the fractured and weathered bedrock at a depth of 53 feet bgs. The weathered bedrock extended to 55 feet bgs at which point the Decorah Shale Formation was encountered. The Platteviile Limestone was found at 119 fest � bgs and extended to the end of the boring in MW-12 (137 feet). Ground water was located at approximately 26 feet bgs in MW-10 and MW-11, and at approximately 130 feet in the Platteviile Limestone (MW-12). Monitorin4 Well SamolinQ/GauqinQ One ground water monitoring event has occurred since the submittal of the RI. Ground water elevation data are presented in Table 1 and on Figure 3, and ground water chemistry data are presented in Table 2 and Table 3. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes were not detected in MW-15, or the nested wells on the northeast section of the site (MW-10, MW-11, MW-12). Benzene levels of 2,000 parts per bil(ion were detected in MW-9, installed to the north of the site in the deep unconsolidated material above the bedrock. Free phase petroleum has not been detected in the three monitoring wells installed near RW-1. Slug tests were conducted in MW-13 and MW-14. Hydraulic conductivities of 9.25 X 10'S and 5.5 X 10"5 cm/sec were calculated in the wells, respectively. Slug test analyses are included with this document. - � Waier Supplv Well Samplina Two water supply wells have been identified in the vicinity of the site. The private well located at 1036 Highway 110 was sampled during February 1997. No petroleum-related compounds were detected in the water sample col(ected from the well. The results of the sampling were submitted to the homeowner and to the MPCA in March 1997. The owner of the property Iocated at 2015 Victoria Road, determined using tax records, did not respond to any of Delta's attempts to contact him. According to his address, he does not currently occupy the property. No phone number for the owner is listed in the public directory. A registered letter was sent to the properly owner but retumed unde(ivered. A registered letter was also sent to the property address but too was retumed undelivered. A visit to the property was conducted but no one was home. UtititY Vaqor Screeninq The results of vapor screening conducted at the site are included in Table 4. A map illustrating the locations of the screened manholes is included as Figure 4. PID readings of 0 to 112, and � a LEL of 0 to 3 percent have been detected in the sanitary sewer adjacent to the site. Future SuperAmerica No. 4521 Delta Project No. A09�-213-1 May 5, 1997 Page 4 Conclusions • Approximately 100 gailons of product have been recovered by pumping product with a vacuum truck from RW-1 and MW-Z. • Given the site stratigraphy and the low permeability of the upper unit, ground water extraction is not a feasible remedial altemative for the site. • The venting test indicated that a vacuum of 50 inches applied to a well did not influence points 25 or 50 feet away. • Dissolved petroleum impacts to the ground water have been defined in the upper unit. The extent of the dissolved petroleum plume in the lower sand unit needs further definition. Dissolved petroleum impacts in the limestone bedrock have not been detected, and a shale confining unit over 50 feet thick was observed between the deep sand and the limestone. • Non-petroleum related compounds have been detected in some the monitoring wells. • Petroleum impacts to the water supply well at 1036 Highway 110 were not detected, and -' the nested well set between the site and the two identified wells did not have petroleum � impacts to the ground water. • Utility screening indicated that PID levels above normal atmospheric conditions are present __ in the sewer, however, dangerous conditions have not been observed with an explosimeter. Additional Investiqation and Corrective Action DesiQn Recommendations � Install two additional wells above the bedrock in the proposed location on Figure 5. Since impacts to bedrock were not detected, and over a 50 feet thick confining layer was observed during drilling, additional bedrock wells are not recommended. • Conduct bi-weekly screening of the sanitary sewer adjacent to the site. • Conduct natural attenuation sampling to evaluate the role of biodegradation of the petroleum compounds in the ground water. • Conduct bi-weekly product collection using a pump truck until product thickness decreases in MW-2 and RW 1. . • Evaluate the source of non-petroleum-related compounds in the ground water. � Well RW-1 RW-1 RW-! itW-2 RW-1 RW1 MW-1 MW1 MtiN-i MW-I MW-1 MW-i MW-2 tviW-2 MW2 MW-2 MW2 MW-2 2viW-3 MW-3 MW-3 MW-3 MW-3 MW3 MVV-4 Iv1W-a M1�t-4 MVV-4 M W--4 2viW-4 �ws MW-5 Nnv-s MW5 tviW-i MW-5 MW-6 MW-6 MW-6 MW-6 MW-6 MW-6 i. . i.. . . . , . �i ., ... ,..a �.

Hollister, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Planning Case #97-07: Ed Sweeney, corner of Wentworth and Wachtler Preliminary Plat Discussion Mr. William Brown, surveyor and Mr. Ed Sweeney, property owner appeared before the City Council at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 6, 1997 to discuss their application for a preliminary plat to subdivide the lot on the northeast corner of Wentworth and Wachtler into three lots for single-family home development. Mr. Sweeney has recently purchased this properiy from Mr. Dale Stalder. The topography of this site and its proximity to a creek pose special challenges for this subdivision. Mr. Sweeney is interested in acquiring pernussion for a preliminary plat now and permission for the final plat as needed, possibly several years from now. At the Planning Commission meeting on Apri129, 1997 several Commissioners were uncomfortable with Mr. Sweeney's phased approach and the potential for a significant time lag between the preliminary plat and the final plat. Recommendation At Planning Commission's regularly scheduled meeting on Apri129, 1997, Commissioner Friel noted that driveway locations are not part of this approval and moved to recommend that the City Council grant the requested Preliminary Plat Approval to subdivide the lot on the northeast corner of Wentworth and Wachtler into three lots for single-family home development subject to the following requirements: 1. That boundary lines of adjoining land within 150' be submitted as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. 2. That Dakota County reviews and approves the Preliminary Plat, including the access driveway locations and right-of-way easement. 3. That a vegetation preservation plan and an erosion control plan be submitted with the building pernuts for Lots 1 and 3. ,�t �� 4. That easements be granted to the City as determined necessary by the Engineering Staff. 5. That the right-of-way on the southwest curve be increased by 10 feet. Commissioner Koll seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote. At the May 6, 1997 meeting of the City Council, the Council directed Staffto amend the proposed Resolution in the following respects: 1. That the Resolution be revised to reflect the two-phased nature of Mr. Sweene,y's request• Mr. Brown agreed to provide a written request for specific Resolution language. Please see the attached fax from Mr. Brown dated May 15, 1997 requesting that the following language be added to the Resolution: 5. That the final platting of the property will occur in two (2) phases to meet the development needs of the owner. Staffhas added the above language to attached proposed Resolution. 2. That lan u�a�e be added requirin� that Dakota County review and a�prove the Prelimina ,r�, including the access driveway locations and right-of-way easement and, in the event the County road is ever turned back to the City, said approvals shall be deternuned by the City. Sta.ff has added this language to the Resolution. 3. That lan�ua�e be added speci in� the nature of the easements to be �ranted to the C� Staffhas added language specifying that easements be granted to the City along each and every lot line for drainage and utility purposes and that a drainage easement enclose the creek that runs through the properiy. The final width of the above easements shall be determined at the time of final platting. 4.

Danielson, Public Works Direct "Old" Fire Hall Site The City's "o1d" Fire �iall site separates a private residence from a commercial building (site plan attached). The owner of the private residence has had to tolerate several years of living next to the now vacant Fire Hall lot. The lawn has not always been mowed and a tenant of the commercial build.ing uses the site for storage and parking. One tenant in the commercial building is a landscape business, they are messy and they often encroach on the City's lot with their equipment and their employee's cars. They are also storing landscape material outside which can be unsightly and dirty. Landscape Business and outside storage are not permitted or conditional uses withi.n the B-2 Zoning District. Recently Councilmember Smith and I met on the site with Ms. Laurita Weinzettel, the affected homeowner, to discuss the problem and determine a possible course of action. At the meeting we determined that an incremental approach to solving the problem would be best. We discussed beginning by installing a permanent fence along the south properiy line of the old Fire Hall site to keep the landscape business and his employees off the City property. We also discussed signing the front (west side) of the fire hall site for no parldng, and the WeinzetteUCity driveway as a private driveway. In anticipation of taking the first step, to fence off the City properiy, we have solicited bids from four contractors. Their bids are to install a five faot high chain link fence along the south property line of the old Fire Hall site. The fence would begin at the front building line and extend easterly to the existing fence line. Additional fencing along the front (west side) of the lot is an option worth considering and was also included in the bid. South Dakota Fence $1,624 Able Fence $1,775 Century Fence $1,9(}0 Fence-Co Fencing $1,439 West Both/Total $885 $2,509 $700 $2,475 $975 $2,875 $773 $2,212 The "No Pazking" signs and private drive sign will be installed by the Public Works Street Department after the fence is in place. The next phase of improving the lot will be to obtain bids to add black dirt and sod the site. YM � � l MY � � � � �� : : M � ► The commercial property next to the old Fire Hall site is an existing non-conforming property that also has underground fuel tanks that need to be removed. The site is an identified parcel within the City's T� District to be acquired and redeveloped along with the old Fire Hall site. An appraisal was done for the City in 1986 that valued the property at $135,000. We have approached the owner on several occasions concerning acquisition, but have been unable to agree on a price. � M � � : � J1: 1 Review the situation with the City's "old" Fire Hall site and determine a course of action. If Council desires to proceed with installing a fence along the south property line only, they should authorize a purchase order to Fence-Co Fencing for their low bid of $1,439.00. Council should also determine what type of notice, if any should be given to the landscaper (there will be a 12' access lane remai.ning along his north lot line for access). All costs for this work are proposed to be funded by T'�. :�i:::�?:>:<::�:>`:::::`::: L, • '.�:::� ::::::::::::::::>�;:::: r o r m e r F i� e : �:::::::::<:: : �::` ::::. .::.::: .��:: .: H a 11 S i t e`:�:: . «::.::: . ... . 0 �. � , � I I � � :1 M May 16, 199?

Opus wishes to re-develap Gearge's Golf Tee and canstruct a single stary 1�0,491 ft.2 multi-tenant building. The owner af the bnilding would be .Ameritech, which also owns the Rollerblade building to the west. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan at their April 29, 199'7 meeting and did not raise any objections to the plan. City Council reviewed the building permit plans on May 6, 199'7 and directed staff to prepare a resolution of appmval for the building permit and a sixteen foat (16') rear yard setback variance, for the proposed building as presented in plans an file in Planning Case No. 97-09. TaY Increment F%nancin� At their May 6, 199'7 meeting, City Council discussed tlie Tax Increment Financing P1an prapased by Opus far the redevelapment of George's Goif Tee. City Council ofFered a total af $SOp,O(}p in Tax Increment Financing, including an amount specified as $114,500 in up-front payments far sound attenuation, demalition and soil work. The remai�aing T� �ncrement Financing ($385,SQ0) that was offered by City Council would be in the form of Pay-As-You-Ga assistance. City Counci� alsa informed (�pus and A,MB that there would be no waiver ta the City's practice of prohibiting transfers. City Council directed staff to place a resolution of approval for the buil.ding permit and variance on the cansent calendar if Opus and AMB agreec2 to the Tauc Inerement offex as outlined above, for the buildirng and site plan as praposed. We have not received notice of agre�ment at this date, hawever, {Jpus laas requested an opportunity to again discuss the Ta�c Increment request with City Council. (Please see attached May 14, 1.9971ettex from Mr. Bangasser and Mr. Cook.) � � There are two outstandi.ng issues that Opus would like to clarify with City Council. First, they have requested that the up-front payment for sound attenuation, demolition and soil work be increased to $250,040, thereby reducing the amount of available Pay-As-You-Go to $250,000. This request is based on the claim that the analysis of soils work on the site has revealed costs to be more than originally anticipated. Mr. Bangasser has provided a Geotechnical Report prepared by Braun Intertec. The city engineer will review this report and be prepared to comment on T�esday eveni.ng. (Please see attached cover letter from Braun Intertec dated May 9, 1997.) The developer would also like to discuss the possibility of flexibility to the prohibition on transfers of title. Mr. 7eff Johnson, in a May 15, 19971etter to City Attorney Tom Hart, proposes language that would allow the ability to transfer title to any "Developer Affiliate" as a permitted transfer. (Please see attached May 15, 19971etter from Mr. Jeff Johnson.) ACTION REOUIRED Council should discuss the Tax Increment request with Opus' representatives and provide direction to City staff on the preparation of a Developer's Agreement. If Ciry Council so desires, they should pass a motion to approve Resolution No. 97-_, A RESOLUTTON GRANTING A BUII.DING PERMIT AND A VARIANCE OF SIXTEEN FEET TO TI� REAR YARD SETBACK FOR AN OFFICE/WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT AT GEORGE' S GOLF TEE. � CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, NIINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 97- A RESOLUTION GRANTING A BiT�DING PERMIT AND A VARIANCE OF SIXTEEN FEET TO THE REAR YARD SETBACK FOR AN OFFICE/WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT AT GEORGE'S GOLF TEE WHEREAS, Mr. Cook and Mr. Bangasser representing Opus and AMB have requested a Building Permit and a 16' rear yard setback Variance which would allow the construction of an office-warehouse development on a parcel west of and adjacent to Highway 55 at the site formerly known as George's Golf Tee, all as proposed on plans on file in Planning Case No. 97-09; and WHEREAS, the City Council first discussed this application at their regularly scheduled meeting on April 1, 1997 and decided to solicit input from the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Mendota Heights met to discuss this application at their Apri129, 1997 meeting; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission voted 7-0 on Apri129, 1997 to advise the City Council that said application conforms to the Zoning Ordinance in all aspects; and WHEREAS, The City Council has since determined at their regularly scheduled meeting on May 6, 1997, that the offce/warehouse building as proposed would need a 16' rear yard setback Variance.

Hollister, Administrative Assistant Larry Shaughnessy, Treasurer SUB7ECT: Planning Case #97-09: Arne Cook, Opus (George's Golf Tee) Building Permit Discussion Mr. Cook and Mr. Bangasser representing Opus and AMB appeared before the Planning Commission at their regularly scheduled meeting on Apri129, 1997 to discuss their application for a Building Permit which would allow the construction of an office- wazehouse development at George's Golf Tee. Mr. Cook of Opus wishes to redevelop George's Golf Tee and construct a single-story 150,491 fl multi-#enant offcelwarehouse/manufacturing building. The owner of the building would be Ameritech, which also owns the Rollerblade building immediately to the west. At the City Council's regularly scheduled meeting on April 1, 1997 the Council felt that due to the high visibility of Opus' proposed development, the plan should be reviewed by the Planning Commission at their Apri129 meeting. Althou�h Opus intends to construct a confornung building, and thus only requires a building permit, the Council desired Planning Commission input and asked Opus to appear before the Planning Commission before returning to the Council. Opus agreed to do this. The Planning Commission was impressed with the application and could find little to object to. (Please see the minutes from the Apri129, 1997 me�ting of the Planning Commission.) Taa Increment Financin� The Council also requested that Staff review the City level of Tg' participation. This . review has been completed. Opus' current request is for a"pay-as-you-go" note of $768,695 and an up-front payment of $114,500 for demolition and soil work. Attached is a packet of material on the request by Opus. Both the Council and the developer should be awaze of possible changes in the assessment law now under consideration at the State level and its possible impacts on the deferred note. If the change is adopted as now proposed, future increment from the properry would be rerluced. Staff'has attached matezial shawing comgarisons wzth previaus TaY Increment projects.

Batchelder, Shaughnessy and Hollister: As requested by the Mayor and Council Members at our presentation to the City Council on April 1, 1997, we have made a complete submission of plans to, and appeazed before, the Plannin� Commission on Apri129 to address questions or comments. At the conclusion of our meeting with the Planning Commission, we received unanimous endorsement of the Mendota Hei�hts Gateway Commons project and their concurrence that the project meets all current zoning ordinances. Therefore, Ati� Institutional Reality Advisors, Inc. ("AlVIB") and Opus Corporation ("OPUS"), on behalf of Ameritech Pension Trust ("Ameritech"), respectfully submit our proposed Mendota Heiahts Gateway Commons redevelopment project and our request for Tax Increment Financin� assistance for the City Council's final approval. Project Background and Description The proposed redevelopment project is a single-story 150,491 square foot, multi-tenant ofFce/manufacturing/warehouse project, to be located on the west fronta�e road of State Highway 5� on the site presently occupied by Geor?e's Golf Tee and zoned for industrial development. The attached March 26, 1997 request for City Council's preliminary review and the attached April 18, 1997 Planning Commission submittal letter provides a detailed description of the Mendota Heights Gateway Commons project. Tax Increment Financing Request As directed during our April 1, 1997 presentation to the City Council, we have met with Mr. Larry Shaughnessy to discuss the Mendota Hei�hts Gateway Commons redevelopment project as it relates to Tax Increment Financing assistance. As a result of our meetin;, we have reduced our request for Tax Increment Financing assistance as outlined in the following paragraphs. Our total Tax Increment Finance request is for �768,695 of pay-as-you-go assistance and $114,500 in the form of an up-front cash write-down to pay for a portion of the costs related to sound attenuation and site preparation includinQ demolition of e;cisting structures and soil work. The total of our requested Tax Increment Financing assistance translates to $883,195 or $5.87 per s.f. of buildin� azea based on the proposed 150,=�91 square foot building. We understand this rate per square foot to be substantially less than the Tax Increment Finance proceeds jranted to other recent Mendota Hei�hts redev lopment projects including the Tuthill Corporation (�7.40/s.f.), General Pump (�6.63/s.f.), VGC �12.04/s.f.) and Lennox ($13.92/s.f.) pro�ects. � = � _' � . -- �. � o � � , s �i', `_' ,S3? ,,,,1� . , �r �^. ` �/ /� � • � ,�� r ✓r.�i� • J _r..�- . : � ��O [K7.G7 �= `�',.'� �c�. �.� � � Opus Northwest, LLC. is an affiliate of the Opus group of companies—Architecs.

' � ' If the City finds it beneficial and will provide additional Tax Increment Financing support, we would also acquire,landscape, izrigate and maintain the trian�ular autiot to the east of M'endota Heights Gateway Commans project and to the west of Waters Drive. To caver acquisition and improvement expenses, we request additionai Ta�c increment Financi�tg suggort in the form af an upfront cash writedown of $98,163. Note that this figure is Iess than aur original estimate since we believe we can acquire the szte for less than the original asking price. We aze also attachin� a schedule showin� that the total cost of qualifed improvements for tax incxement fnance purpases related to Nlendota Heights Commons is �1,25$,000, e:ccludin� $9$,163 for costs related to acquisition of the triangular outlet. This figure exceeds and supports our Tax Increment Financing assistance reques�. Cansistent with our initial 'submittal, we aze also requesiing that assiQnment and transfer of Tax Increment Financing proceeds to any related entity or third-party future owners of the Mendota Heights Gateway Commons project be gernutted. As part of your cansideration, we wauld like to stress that Ameritech and AMB's business strate�y has been, and continues to be, to hald thezr property long term. In fact, of the 4,0OO,OQO s.f, of building acquisitians made by AMB in the Twm Cities since 19$9, AMB has yeE to seIl a project. We appreciate your serious eanszderatian of this stipulation as this is viewed as a critical term of the aareement by Aa.'VIB and Ameritech. If the City approves the request for Tax Increment Financing support outlined above, we aze prepared to commence immediately with acquisition of the triang�zlaz outlat, finalize the governmentai approval process for the redevelopment project, and begin constrttctian of Mendota Heights Gateway Commans. Please feel free to call either one of us in the event you have any questians or comments.

The project is a specuiative devetopment similar to United Properties' Enterprise I and Enterprise II projects and is intended to have in excess of 20% office use with the balance of space devoted to manufacturinQ and wazehouse business uses. The 24-foot clear heisht buildinQ will be constructed of a ste�l frame and load bearinQ painted precast panels with recessed entrances, tinted gIass, and complemeatary aluminum window and door frames. Because the buildinQ s ground level elevation will be,somewhat lower than HiQhway 5� and the frontaQe road, additional architectural detailina has been incorporated into the design above each entryway. Here, we are proposing to recess the paneIs above the entryways and then flush with the exterior wall system install a custom fabricated grillwork painted to complement the project's earth tone color scheme. A copy of the project's preliminary site plan and exterior eievation is enciosed for your review. I Great care has been taken throuQ�out the re�evelopment process to incorporate the City stafr�s input with respect to desi�ninQ a� project that will most likely attract the hiQhest possible level and iality empIoyment and provide the most aesthetically pleasinQ landscaping and building eIevation _ontinQ State HiQ�way 5�. , The current desiQn has evolved�from a very basic warehouse project, similar to Space Center's original development concept for the site (Space Ceater is the deve:oper that, as we understand, was considerin� deveIopment of a 30' ciear distribution buiIdinQ) to a project similaz to OPUS' Lone Oak Commerce Center and Trapp Road Business Center industrial developments in Ea�an. After conunuinQ discussions with Ciry Staff, the desi� of the project has evolved even further to incorporate additional landscapinQ and architecturaI detaiIing in order to me�t with our understandins of the wishes of the Ciry of l�Iendota HeiQhts and their long-ranQe deveIopment objectives for the HiQhway 5� corridor. Attached are photographs of a typical buIk wazehouse buildinQ which we understand resembles Space Center's initial development conc�pt and a pho[ograph of OPUS' Trapp Road Business Ceater proje�t in Eaaan. We are aIso enclosing a photo�aph of F1yinQ Cloud Business Centre, a project developed by OPUS in Edea Prairie which closely rese:nbles the architecture that �ve are currently proposinQ for the I1�Iendota HeiQhts Gateway Commons proje�t.

As the owner of the adjoining property at 2360 Pilot Knob Road we hope to create an attractive industrial business pazk environment and a stable investment for the Ameritech pension fund beneficiaries. I want to address some of the issues raised at our presentation to you last week: � AMB's investrnent strateay is long term. Of the four million squaze feet of industrial property acquired in the Twin Cities since 1989, we have not sold any of Ehe properties. • There is no intention of installing any telephone or communication equipment/antenna on the property. • We are not a developer in the traditional sense, but an e,�cisting owner attempting to protect our e.cisting investment • Long ierm, we hope io unprove the property at 2360 Pilot Knob Road by dressing up the reaz of the building elevations with glass window/entryways and adding loading bays to the building. This will create more flexibility to a very constrained building (due to its 325 foot building depths compared to newly developed building depths of 160-200 feet). I hope this is a helpful and look forwazd to submitting our plans to you in the near future. Sincerely, AMB INSTITUTIONAL REALTY ADVISORS, INC. �� Martin j.
