PROPERTY DONATION Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant Hollister regarding an
810 RIDGE PLACE offer from Mr. John Doyle, 810 Ridge Place, to donate a portion of
his property to the city for park purposes.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he is not sure that accepting the
property would be a liability to the city since there is a city trail to
the west. He stated that the property does not have access or
development potential for the property owner but that the city has
had to enter the property to clear out beaver dams that blocked the
drainage way in the past. He did not think that the city would incur
any liability and felt that Council should not cut off consideration of
the donation. He also pointed out that the only reason a value would
have to be established would be for the benefit of the property owner
for taY purposes.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to look at the
proposal further and see what impact it would have on adjoining
property owners. She also felt that Council should look more closely
at where it would want to draw the property line in relationship to
adjoining property.
Councilmember Smith asked what obligation the city would take on
for maintenance of the property.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that there would be no maintenance
except that the drainage way would have to be kept open.
Council directed Administrator Batchelder to notify the property
owner that the city would like to physically inspect the property and
that Council has expressed interest in exploring the offer further.
Page No. 4
May 20, 1997
Staff was directed to research the issue further to determine if there
has been a similar offer in the past and to determine what past
practice has been.
Councilmember Huber stated that if the city accepted the property it
would have to be with the understanding that there is no intended
purpose for the property other than open space and there would be no
guarantee that it will always be left in its current state.
CASE NO. 97-07, SWEENEY Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson and a revised proposed resolution regazding the
preliminary plat for property located at the northeast corner of
Wentworth and Wachtler. Mr. Bill Brown, surveyor for the property
owner, Mr. Ed Sweeney, was present for the discussion.
Mr. Brown informed Council that Mr. Sweeney has reviewed the
proposed resolution and agrees to the conditions stated in the
resolution and requests Council's adoption of the resolution as
drafted.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the property owner must understand
that if the county turns the road back to the city, the city will be the
authority to review driveways.
Mr. Brown responded that Mr. Sweeney understands that if
jurisdiction for the driveways is no longer with the county, it would
be a significant change and the city would need to approve the
driveways.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved adoption of Resolution No. 97-
23, "A RESOLUTION GRANTING A PRELIMINARY PLAT
APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE THE LOT ON THE NORTHEAST
CORNER OF WENTWORTH AND WACHTLER INTO THREE
LOTS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOME DEELOPMENT."
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
FIRE HALL SITE Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson recommending steps the city can take to reduce problems
associated �vith the vacant former fire hall site. Mrs. Laurita
Weinzettel and Mr. Cliff Kirchner, owners of the properties
adjoining the site, were present for the discussion.
Page No. 5
May 20, 1997
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city will take care of maintenance
of the site, but the other issue is the use of the adjoining properly.
He stated that this is a B-2 District and the building goes back many
years to the time when there was a general store on the site. He
stated that the back of the site has now been developed into a large
landscaping business storage area and the operator moves equipment
and materials from sun-up to sun-down.
Councilmember Smith stated that it is also her understanding that the
operation is using the former fire hall site for parking.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that instead of using the access between
the commercial building and the fire station site, the operator uses
the city property and the neighbor's property to drive across as well.
He pointed out that the B-2 property is located within the city's t�
increment district and if the city were to formally condemn the
property for public purposes Council could be criticized for not
having an intended public use for the property. He stated that one
solution to the problem would be to install a fence from the highway
right-of-way all the way down the side properry line of the city
property.
Mr. Kirchner stated that the landscaping business is his tenant and
that he does not know that they are using Nlrs. Weinzettel's
driveway. He informed Council that he knows that that landscaping
business has caused problems and talked to them today, but that he
had not been notified by the city that there would be a discussion this
evening.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Mr. Kirchner would have been
contacted before the fence was installed and also to see if he would
be willing to sell his property to the city. He informed Mr. Kirchner
that the landscaping company is beyond what is permitted in the
zoning district and requires more parking and more space than is
available.
Mr. Kirchner responded that he can take care of the parking problem
but that the landscaper has di�culty maneuvering his trailers in and
out and has asked if he can use the bottom area for a turn-around.
Councilmember Smith stated that last week an azea of the fire hall
property was torn up by tire tracks and she can only expect that it
was the landscaper's equipment that did the damage, about twenty
feet onto the city's property.
Page No. 6
May 20, 1997
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Mr. Kirchner is awaze of the extent of
the problem the city must correct. He informed Mr. Kirchner that
Council does not want the landscaping firm running its trucks in and
out and expanding its business and that the city has the right to fence
its property. He suggested that Mr. Kirchner come up with a plan to
resolve the problem before the next meeting and contact Public
Works Director Danielson. He stated that if there is no solution by
the neYt Council meeting, Council will authorize fence installation
along the city's property lines, including the front, and the drive will
be posted as a private driveway.
Mrs. Weinzettel stated that she has brought the issue to Council
before without results and does not want to wait another season
before something is done. She informed Council that the
landscaper's equipment was driven over her property yesterday.
Councilmember Smith responded that the extent of the use of the
property exceeds what is permitted in the B-2 district and is
completely inappropriate as a use adjacent to a residential property.
LIQUOR LICENSE HEARINGS Council acknowledged applications for liquor license renewals for
Somerset Country Club, Mendakota Country Club, Mendota Liquor,
Heritage Inn and Courtyard by Marriott, along with associated staff
reports and recommendations.

ROGER'S LAKE STLTDY Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson regazding a presentation by members of the St. Thomas
Academy Environmental Studies Class on results of their testing of
Roger's Lake water quality. Environmental Studies Instructor Joe
Reymann and students Clint Jamison and Devin Haldin were present
for the discussion.
Mr. Jamison and Mr. Haldin distributed the test results and reviewed
those results for Council and the audience and responded to Council
questions.
TR.ANSIT SERVICE Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding MCTO transit redesign and proposed service changes to
Mendota Heights. Council also acknowledged a copy of the redesign
proposal and information from the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Steve
Legler, Manager of Service Planning from the MCTO, Mr. Kevin
Howe, member of the Metropolitan Council Transportation
Committee, and Mr. Mark Hoisser, from DARTS were present for
the discussion.
Mr. Legler informed Council that the purpose of the redesign is to
speed up transit service and improve transit service for suburb to
suburb trips. He explained that the plan includes establishing a
transit hub in the area of Robert Street and Marie Avenue in West St.
Paul, wherein some of the big MCTO buses would be replaced by
smaller vehicles operated by DARTS. He stated that virtually all of
the transit routes aze oriented to St. Paul destinations, but with a
transit hub, MCTO can enhance the service to downtown but can
also make transit between suburbs better. He reviewed the current
routes serving Mendota Heights by MCTO and cooperatively with
the Minnesota. Valley Transit Authority. Route 48A would be
unchanged under the redesign proposal, but Routes 5 and 7 would be
replaced with a dial a ride service provided by DARTS with smaller
vehicles which would provide all day service in the city and would
connect with the MCTO at the hub.
Page No. 9
May 20, 1997
vehicles which would provide all day service in the city and would
connect with the MCTO at the hub.
Mr. Hoisser described the dial a ride service, stating that it is a new
service that is being added to DARTS. The service would operate
from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. weekdays, wherein there would be a one
bus service on a timed transfer basis to the transfer hub in order to
allow people to make a connection with MCTO to get to downtown
St. Paul. Mid-day, people would have to call in 24 hours ahead of
time for service. He e.cplained that there will also be a subscriber
service for peak time wherein individuals would only have to call
DARTS to make a change in their schedule. The fare system would
be the same as MCTO, but people would be picked up at their homes
and would get transferred to MCTO, so there is no extra cost to
riders.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that one of the advantages of DARTS,
especially for seniors, is the ability to ride from their home for
medical and other services and then back without having to walk to a
bus stop, but he asked how the new service will fit in with existing.
He asked if DARTS has all of the necessary drivers and equipment
available.
Mr. Hoisser responded that this will be an added level of service and
that the buses and drivers that will be used for the service are
available. He informed Council that the new service will start in
September.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the redesign information should be
publicized so that people use the service. He stated that Council is
very concerned that those people who do not have cars and need
transportation to their work downtown have transportation available.
He also stated that when the Brown Institute is open in September or
October, there will be students who will come from Minneapolis. He
pointed out that Council has asked for service along Hiawatha to
Mendota Heights.
Mr. Legler responded that a route to Minneapolis is still under
consideration but it was moved to a later time frame because major
construction will begin on Hiawatha soon and will take about three
years to complete. He e�cplained that current service goes north on
Lafayette and west on I-94 to Minneapolis and it was felt that
changing that to use the Mendota Bridge would result in longer
travel time until Hiawatha is completed.
Page No. 10
May 20, 1997
Mr. Howe stated that the Brown Institute issue is brand new, after all
the planning for the redesign was done, and that the Institute will be
factored into consideration. He stated that MCTO will ask the
institute representatives how many people may use transportation
from Minneapolis to the school.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that hub from T.H. 110 across the
Mendota Bridge along Hiawatha to downtown Minneapolis would
benefit Mendota Heights residents as well. He noted that Mn/DOT
is installing fiber optics in the right-of-way in order to install
controlled access lights at I-35E and he felt that if people run into
delays getting onto the freeway, they may use public transportation
instead if it is available. He stated that he uses Hiawatha Avenue
and has not had significant delays because of construction. He
pointed out that Mendota Heights residents pay $490,000 in taxes
each year to the MCTO and that Council owes it to the residents to
get some value for that money.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if it is possible that people could
be dropped off somewhere other than the hub.
Mr. Hoisser responded that people can be dropped off anywhere they
like, which is the beauty of using the DARTS system. He stated that
someone could come from their home in Mendota Heights to
somewhere else in Mendota Heights. He informed Council that
DARTS will also make accommodations for people who, for
example, get ill at work and must come home.
Responding to a question from Councilmember Krebsbach, Mr.
Hoisser stated that the service will be for the general public,
including children, and that DARTS will pick up a child to go to and
from a destination.
Councilmember Huber asked what the DARTS expectations are of
someone calling for a ride. He asked if they would need to be at the
end or their driveway waiting when the bus arrives.
Mr. Hoisser responded that there is a"fudge factor" with DARTS so
people would have at least a minute or two to leave their house and
get to the bus.
Councilmember Huber stated that if Route 95MU to Minneapolis is
moved along T.H. 110 to the Mendota Bridge, a park and ride would
be needed somewhere west on T.H. 110.
Page No. 11
May 20, 1997
Councilmember Smith asked what the anticipated travel time is for a
person on the existing route that will be eliminated compared to
taking the circulator to a hub.
Mr. Hoisser responded that he anticipates with DARTS connecting
at the hub a customer will be able to get to St. Paul with no
additional traffic time because there is a new, faster service planned
from the hub to downtown. The Minneapolis route is not proposed
to change as part of the redesign.
Mr. Legler stated that he thinks the travel to downtown will be faster
with DARTS taking people to the hub. He informed Council that
there will be a shelter at the hub, perhaps temporary this year with
permanent construction next year, and that there will be lighting and
a park and ride at the hub. He stated that the capacity of the park and
ride should be up to 200 cars and that there will be no chazge for
park and ride.
Councilmember Smith asked what the subsidy is for the current
system and whether there will be any change.
Mr. Howe responded that MCTO will have a contract with DARTS
and will pay for the service. Currently 30% of the MCTO costs aze
paid by fairs and the balance is form tax revenue. He explained that
he believes through the savings MCTO makes because of the
redesign, it will be able to increase the service by contracting with
DARTS. He did not anticipate there will be any increase in cost for
providing the service. �,
Mayor Mertensotto stated that DARTS has provided excellent
service over the years.
Responding to a question from Councilmember Smith, Mr. Howe
stated that it is hoped that the level of ridership will increase because
of the improved service.
Mr. Legler stated that MCTO did receive a number of comments at
the public hearing on the proposed redesign and the concern that was
expressed by those who made comments was about the replacement
of bus service with DARTS along Route 5. He stated that the
concerns were primarily with making a reservation a day in advance,
but for trips that occur every day there will be a subscription service
where a vehicle will be at the individual's residence at the same time
every day.
Page No. 12
May 20, 1997
Mr. Hoisser stated that except for the subscription service,
individuals would have to call DARTS before 5:00 p.m. for a ride
the next day, but exceptions will be made for people who aze ill.
Councilmember Smith asked how someone who is a subscriber for a
morning and evening ride can get a trip from the hub if they are
delayed at work.
Mr. Hoisser responded that they can call DARTS and that this would
be the type of case in which DARTS would make an exception.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what is needed from Council.
Mr. Howe responded that no action is necessary and the
Metropolitan Council will receive comments through May 29 and
hopes to make a decision in June and then will publicize the changes
in July through the end of September when the redesign is
implemented.
Mr. Legler stated that MCTO is committed to listening to the
comments it receives and given that there has been concern in
Mendota Heights over the loss of routes in peak hours, he will talk
with DARTS to see if there can be some mix of DARTS and MCTO.
SUPER AMERICA SITE Council acknowledged a memo form Public Works Director
Danielson regarding the SuperAmerica Remedial
Investi�ation/Conective Action Design Review (RUCAD), along
with a site Corrective Action Design Report prepazed by Delta
Environmental, Environmental Consultant for SuperAmerica. Ms.
Megan Tewinkel and Mr. Scott Williams, from Delta, and Mr. Steve
Thompson, from the Minnesota PCA, were present for the
discussion.
Mr. Thompson informed Council that he is with the PCA's leaky
tank clean-up program, which deals mostly with petroleum leaks.
He stated that there are about 20 sites in Mendota Heights that are
monitored by the program. He explained that the owners of the
properties must do an investigation to see if there is contamination,
and about 75% of the older underground tanks have had releases. He
informed Council that SuperAmerica needs to find out how faz the
contamination has moved and whether it is causing any problems —
which are defined by the PCA — including vapor problems, surface
water problems or underground water supply problems. He
explained that in the past PCA required total removal of
Page No. 13
May 20, 1997
contamination, but that it has found over the years that contaminates
do not have to be removed from all sites.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council knows from the area studies
of the site that there was at least seven feet of petroleum on top of
the water tables and it had gravitated to the east and west lanes of the
highway. He stated that the RI/CAD does not seem to address the
fact that the contamination has gone that far.
Mr. Thompson stated that in almost all cases PCA addresses the
source area, where the contaminates are the worst. He explained that
it is too e;cpensive to try to treat the entire contamination area, and
the problem is addressed at the source. He informed Council that
PCA always requires the consultants for the owners to install
monitoring wells to show that the contamination is not moving. He
stated that this is a complicated site and the program is not yet
finalized because they do not yet know the extent of the plume.
Also, there are also intermittent vapors in the sewer system, and
another concern is that there are a couple of homes in the area that
still have their own water supplies. He stated that the homes are not
in the path of the contamination but they are close enough for PCA
to investigate them.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he sees nothing in the report about
off-site monitoring wells. He felt that the investigation should
determine how far the contamination has gone and how far it will go.
Mr. Thompson responded that the work is not done yet — the studies
have not been completed, and the PCA had informed Delta that the
extent of the contamination must be defined.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that when it was first discussed,
SuperAmerica showed a pumping station on the site and now that
structure is gone. He asked what the monitoring wells will look like.
Mr. Thompson responded that it is a complicated site, and often what
the PCA does at sites were there is a lot of pre-product is have a
pumping well — and a structure to put that into. At this site, that type
of roach is not effective because of the soil types. The approach that
is being taken is to come to the site twice a month with a high
volume vacuum pump, and there will need to be temporary storage
for the pre-product. Responding to a question about potential danger
to the marsh near City Hall, he stated that this is why the monitoring
wells are being installed — to be sure that contamination does not
reach the marsh. He then explained the two levels of contamination.
Page No. 14
May 20, 1997
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if the PCA will take some action
to reduce the level of contamination off the site.
Mr. Thompson responded that if tests find that contamination is
beyond safe levels they will take remedial action.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council does not want to have a
maintenance shed sitting on the corner. He asked how the city
prevents havin� an access shelter on the site.
Mr. Thompson responded that he does not know if clean up is
necessary or not, and that it does not look like a structure is
necessary. If there is contamination that is moving towards the
surface water, SuperAmerica would have to take some action, but
there is technology now that would not require a structure.
Responding to questions on whether there is any potential for
explosion, Mr. Thompson stated that there is no danger at this time
and the PCA monitors the site every other week. He stated that the
sanitary se�ver runs right over the pre-product, and it is hoped that
the vacuuming will remove the problem.
Ms. Tewinkel informed Council that Delta monitors for vapors every
other week, screening four manholes on the site.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council is concerned about what kind
of accessory structure will be needed since the site is to be vacuumed
out.
Mr. Williams responded that a truck will come to the site and
everything that is taken out will be removed from the site on that
day. He eYplained that the pipe to the wells stick out about two feet
and the temporary storage barrels will be removed shortly.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the report indicates that only about
100 gallons have been removed.
Mr. Williams responded that this is good — many sites are pumped
for years before that much product is removed. He felt that the
recovery to date is promising.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council is concerned about the plume
and how far it has spread across the highway.
Page No. 15
May 20, 1997
Ms. Tewinkel referred to figure five in the corrective action draft
report, which indicates the location where two monitoring wells will
be installed.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council was supposed to get a
proposed RI/CAD conective action design 120 days before SA
started construction. He fiirther stated that the agreement also states
that the city has 60 days to approve the RI/CAD, but Council is not
really certain what it is approving.
Mr. Williams responded that he believes there is sufficient
information on the extent of the plume and that with the removal of
the old tanks and lines, what remains is the massive contaminated
soil on the site and that is bleeding out to the northwest. He
explained that Delta intends to identify potential receptors and that
Delta is assessing the vapor problems. At this point, the most
practical method of dealing with the problem is vacuuming, and that
will continue on the site for many years.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if Delta has found anything was
going towards the marsh and something more aggressive needed to
be done, would that occur off the SA corner.
Ms. Tewinkel responded that Delta typically attacks the source and
will do that with the pump truck which will remove a significant
amount of contamination from the source area. She also informed
Council that the vapors in the sewer will be monitored every other
week.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked how Delta notifies people if there
is a problem.
Ms. Tewinkel responded that the fire department is contacted
immediately.
Mr. Williams stated that if it is found that there is potential for
impact to the marsh, more oxygen can be interjected. He stated that
in the area of hi�h contamination, the oxygen is depleted.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that under the conditions of the
developers agreement, Council has 60 days from the date of PCA
approval of the RI/CAD. He asked Mr. Thompson if he will let
Council know when the approval letter is issued and when the 60 day
period will start.
Page No. 16
May 20, 1997
Mr. Thompson responded that he will copy the approval letter to the
city when it is sent out.
CASE NO. 97-09, OPUS Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding a request from Opus DevelopmentlAMB for consideration
of a change in the requested TIF for the proposed development of the
George's Golf Tee, along with a request for flexibility with respect
to the prohibition on transfers of title. Council also acknowledged
letters from Opus, and from Barna, Guzy and Steffen, Ltd., and a
Geotechnical Evaluation prepared by Braun Intertec for Opus.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if the city is going to participate with
TIF it is usually done up-front as part of the developer's agreement.
He did not think Council could allow Opus to develop the property
and then have someone else come in and ask for TIF after the fact.
Mr. Martin Coyne, from AMB, stated that he would suggest that the
city structure the developer's agreement with a specific requirement
that at the time of completion, the tax increment would be with the
owner of the property at that time. He informed Council that if the
project starts in June it would be completed by the end of October,
which would coincide with the mingling of all the assets in one fund,
so the concept would allow the transfer to the new entity at the time
of occupancy. Mr. Coyne stated that the new entity will be a
corporation in Ameritech.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that this would be a transfer of TIF,
which Council does not allow.
Mr. Jeff Bangasser, from Opus, asked if similar conveyances have
been allowed by Council.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that there may have been one occasion
because it �vas not classified as a sale because it was a family trust.
Mr. Bangasser stated that if the recipient of the TIF does not use the
TIF to gain a value enhancement, the alternative may be to have the
properly independently appraised after construction and have the
value determined without consideration of the tax credits. He
further stated that, as part of the agreement, the city could require
review of the terms of the conveyance to determine that the value of
the TIF is not a consideration.
Councilmeinber Smith asked about the nature of the transfer and
whether the owners of both entities will be exactly the same.
Page No. 17
May 20, 1997
Mr. Coyne responded that the will. He stated that in this case it is
Ameritech, which AMB manages on their behalf, and that Ameritech
has a share in the co-mingled fund. He explained that other pension
funds will be contributin� properties to the co-mingled fund as well
and will be getting stock in proportion to what they invest.
Councilmember Smith pointed out that the TIF will contribute to the
market value, which will immediately create increased value to
Ameritech and that is not Council's purpose in contributing TIF.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that AMB's proposal is to now
request $250,000 up-front rather than $114,000 and that they would
upgrade the eYterior of the R.L. Johnson warehouse. She asked if all
the components of the new entity exist.
Mr. Coyne responded that the warehouse would be painted and the
barbed wire fence would be removed. With respect to the new
entity, he stated that it is being formed now and that it is a real estate
investment trust. He eYplained that it may be able to be structured in
such a way that AMB is the developer with the new entity taking
over ownership when the project is completed. AMB would actually
develop the property with the specific purpose of putting it into the
trust and AMB will be the trust.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that there would be two different
entities and that public stock will be sold on the open market.
Mr. Coyne responded that the whole of the AMB Corporation would
go into the trust as well, because it will be managing the co-mingled
trust and the clients who have stock in the fund will own the
individual properties.
Mr. Bangasser stated that the parties know that this asset will be held
in a different entity than today and if AMB can be shown as the
overall entity developing and funding the project, there would be no
increase in value to AMB.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she appreciates that the R.L.
Johnson warehouse would be upgraded. She stated that she would
also like to see the adjacent triangular piece of land maintained.
Mr. Coyne responded that at the last meeting he got cleaz direction
from Council that the trian�ular parcel should not be included. He
stated that AMB has to resolve the TIF issue first before it can
Page No. 18
May 20, 1997
control the other parcel, but that he may be able to include it within
the project at some time in the future.
Mayor Mertensotto asked why AMB cannot hold the property for the
life of the TIF district without transferring it into the trust.
Mr. Coyne responded that the principals of AMB are in the business
of advising and consulting and are not investors — they are advising
Ameritech.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that no matter how it is viewed, there is a
transfer of TIF.
Mr. Coyne asked if there is a transfer fee that Council would
entertain.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that a transfer fee is not the basis of
not permitting transfers and that Council is not tallcing about a
transfer fee at all. He stated that Council has to protect the city
against the legislature accusing the city of using TIF to entice
businesses away from St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Councilmember Smith stated that she understands that the reality is
that if AMB waited, it would not be any different from allowing a
one-time transfer. She stated that the entities aze different than
Council has permitted it the past and approval would set a precedent.
Mr. Coyne asked about the possibility of exploring an option
whereby Opus doing a turnkey project on behalf of AMB.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council would have to know
what the structure is and AMB does not have all of the answers this
evening, so Council could not inake a decision this evening. He
asked who would sign the developer's agreement if AMB wants
Opus to be the developer for the true owner, and pointed out that that
entity would have to be identified.
Councilmember Smith asked if the new entity would be set up before
November.
Mr. Coyne responded that he does not know the exact date but it
would be by November. He expressed appreciation to Council for
trying to help AMB but stated that he has a short window of time to
get the project completed by winter and he felt that trying to work
through the Opus approach would take too long. He stated that he
Page No. 19
May 20, 1997
would rather withdraw the request at this time and hope that Mr.
Waters will hold the property for a year. Mr. Coyne formally
withdrew the application at this time, stating that he hopes to come
back in the future.
MISCELLANEOUS Council acknowledged an invitation from the National Park Service
for a boat trip for Mayors and City Council members on May 31.
Administrator Batchelder informed Council that if more than two
members plan to attend, a notice of a Council meeting would be
required.
SPRING CLEAN-UP Administrator Batchelder informed Council that the annual Spring
Clean-Up event was very successful and expressed appreciation to
those who volunteered to help, including Mayor Mertensotto, Dan
Tilsen, Stan Linnell, Nancy Bauer, Tom Knuth, Guy Kullander, and
Marc Mo�an. He also eYpressed appreciation to Mendota Heights
Rubbish. He e;cpressed special appreciation to Assistant Pat
Hollister for organizing, publishing and running the event.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding Northwest Airlines Stage III compliance, along with
informational materials from Northwest.
Page No. 3
June 17, 1997
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to have the
information about the fleet that flies in and out of MSP.
Councilmember Smith responded that Northwest has agreed that
they will not fly fewer Stage III planes from MSP than they do at any
other airport, so there are no fewer Stage III planes at MSP than the
percentage of Stage III planes in the entire Northwest fleet. She
pointed out that it must be kept in mind that the Northwest
percentage may not be representative of what comes in and out of
this airport because some of the other providers do not have as many
Stage III planes as Northwest.
FIRE HALL SITE Council acknowledged a memo from Engineering Technician Guy
Kullander regarding installation of a privacy fence at the old Fire
Hall site.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that a variance is apparently needed if the
city wants to construct a six foot fence from the front of the existing
commercial building to the rear property line in order to provide
adequate screening for the residential properties. He asked how
much of the fence would be at the three foot height before the six
foot height starts. He pointed out that one of the purposes of the
fence is to screen the commercial building and the items that are
stored there.
Administrator Batchelder responded that what is proposed is a three
foot fence from the right-of-way line to ten feet easterly, where the
fence lines up with the front of the building on the adjacent property.
Councilmember Smith pointed out that the purpose of restricting
front yazd fence heights to three feet is to maintain visibility, and if
the adjacent building is located within the thirty foot front yard
setback, the fence would not impact visibility.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels the variance is appropriate,
and that Council promised the neighbors that something would be
done as soon as possible. He felt that Council should approve
waiver of Planning Commission review and approve the variance
with the condition that the six foot fence start at the building line and
go to the back properry line.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to waive Planning Commission
review and to approve a variance to a11ow a six foot high fence from
Page No. 4
June 17, 1997
the front of the commercial building adjacent to the city property
along the side property line to the rear property line.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5

GNB Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant Hollister a request
from GNB for approval of a building permit to construction an
attachment to the existing garage structure at GNB to house an
emergency power generator. Mr. Lynn Sloat, project azchitect, was
present for the discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Sloat that the request had been
removed from the consent calendar because Council is concerned
that the color of the proposed addition blend in with the rest of the
building.
Mr. Sloat responded that the exterior will be pre-finished coated
siding that will be painted to match the exterior of the existing
structure.
Councilmember Huber moved to approve a building permit to allow
construction of an enclosure addition at GNB with the condition that
the exterior color of the addition be consistent with the color of the
GNB building.
Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion.

FIRE DEPARTMENT Council acknowledged memo from Administrator Batchelder
regarding a request from the Fire Relief Association for a temporary
3.2 malt beverage license to allow the sale of beer at the Fire
Department's 50�' Anniversary celebration. Council also
acknowledged a letter from the Anniversary Committee and
information regazding dram shop insurance coverage. Several
members of the Fire Department were present for the discussion.
Anniversary Committee Co-Chair Ken Weisenburger informed
Council on the activities that will be held as part of the August 16
celebration. He explained that the Relief Association is requesting a
one day 3.2 license to allow sale of beer from a tent concession stand
next to the Mendakota Park concession stand. He reviewed the
safeguards that will be taken to prevent sales to minors and to
control the consumption of alcohol. He stated that people will not be
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Page No. 5
June 17, 1997
allowed to bring coolers into the park or fields so they cannot bring
their own beer.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the request is to approve the license
for the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., but the insurance
application is from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. He cautioned the firemen
to be very cazeful that the hours of sale aze consistent with the
application that was made to the insurance carrier. He stated that
Council will approve the license to 8:00 p.m., and if the insurance
company amends the coverage to 8:30 that will be acceptable to
Council. He pointed out that the city has liability up to $600,000 but
the insurance is up to $500,000, so the fire department must be very
careful at monitoring alcohol consumption.
Responding to a question from Council, Recreation Programmer
Esser stated that the last softball game will start at 7:30.
Councilmember Smith stated that Council's approval should be
consistent with whatever the insurance coverage is, but not to exceed
11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Councilmember Huber moved to approve the issuance of a 3.2 on-
sale malt beverage license to the Fire Relief Association in
conjunction with its 50�' Anniversary Celebration to be held on
August 16, 1997 at Mendakota Park, to allow the sale of 3.2 beer
between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with the condition that
the hours of the license will not exceed the hours of the insurance
coverage.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Fire Chief Maczko showed Council and the audience an enlarged
photograph of a print by artist Jim Killen which has been created to
commemorate the anniversary. He informed Council that the
proceeds from the sale of prints will help support the event.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed appreciation to Recreation
Programmer Esser for the service he has given to the city.
VISITATION SCHOOL Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant Hollister relative to a
request from Visitation School for approval to construct six tennis
courts on the campus and for revisions to the existing school pazking
lot. Council also acknowledged receipt of a letter and plans from
Visitation. Sister Mary Denise Malone, Architect Gary Ostberg and
Page No. 6
June 17, 1997
Mr. Greg Kopischke, from Westwood Professional Services, were
present for the discussion.
Mr. Ostberg explained that the representatives of Visitation are
present to discuss not only the cunent request but also future plans
for the campus. He stated that there is a real need for athletic
facilities at the school, and a strategy has been developed over a
number of years for a new Athletic Facility and Early Childhood
Center. He explained that there aze currently four tennis courts at the
site which will be relocated to• provide room for the future facilities.
He informed Council that the first phase of development on the
campus will be the construction of six tennis courts and parking lot
revisions this summer. He explained that Visitation is going through
a capitol campaign now and will hopefully be able to build the
athletic facility and new childhood center in two years. He stated
that there is no intent to enlarge the student body, but rather that the
athletic facility and tennis courts aze needed by the existing students.
He reviewed new us routing and vehicle circulation to the early
childhood center.
Responding to a Council question, Mr. Ostberg stated that the tennis
courts will not have lighting and that he is still working on the site
lighting plan. He explained that lighting will be contained on the
premises.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that a copy of the lighting plan should be
submitted to the city when it is completed.
Councilmember Krebsbach, speaking as a parent of former
Visitation students, that the school does need a gym. She also
expressed appreciation for the school's sensitivity to the neighbors.
She stated that the plan indicates that there will be additional
landscaping to provide screening to the residential properties.
Councilmember Huber stated that Visitation has been a good
neighbor over the years, letting the community use its tennis courts.
He felt that the development proposal is a great plan and that
Visitation is an asset to the community.
Councilmember Smith expressed appreciation to Visitation for
presenting the plans for the future development at this time.
Mr. Ostberg informed Council that Visitation must go through
planning for wetlands permits for two additional tennis courts that
are proposed to be developed adjacent to the six that are currently
Page No. 7
June 17, 1997
being requested and that he hopes to be back before Council for
wetlands approval in August.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council will give Visitation concept
approval so that Visitation's representatives know they can proceed
with their plans. He informed the Visitation representatives that
Council will be concerned that plans for future building include
finishing the buildings on all four sides.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would also like to note
that the plans will not impact an increase in traffic on Mendota
Heights Road and that this is a facility for the existing student body
and is in keeping with the direction that the City Council is taking.
Councilmember Huber moved to grant concept approval to
Visitation School's building program as submitted and to authorize
issuance of a building permit for six new tennis courts and approval
for 29 additional pazking spaces and reconfiguration of the access to
the parking lot.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.

FREEWAY ROAD Council acknowledged a report from Administrator Batchelder and
Public Works Director Danielson regarding progress on the Freeway
Road study.
Administrator Batchelder summarized the report and the history of
the Freeway Road study. He informed Council that Mendota Plaza
owner Ed Paster is present to ask Council for a decision on his
request that Council authorize Mn/DOT to release its right-of-way
(Parce136) adjacent to the shopping center so that he can pursue
development of the parcel.
Mayor Mertensotto reviewed the issues that still need to be resolved.
He stated that the city and Mn/DOT are going to make improvements
at the Dodd/T.H. 110 intersection, which will include an improved
pedestrian/bike path. He stated that the other issues that needs to be
addressed is whether Mr. Paster has an overall concept design for the
shopping center, including a restaurant. He informed Council that he
is not prepared this evening to say that he would consider shifting
MSA designation from South Plaza Drive to Freeway Road.
Page No. 8
June 17, 1997
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she thinks that Council would
want the state to participate in South Plaza Drive improvements
because it will carry considerable traffic.
Public Works Director Danielson stated that streets can be
designated and undesignated for MSA at the city's request as long as
the streets meet the guidelines for MSA designation. He further
stated that he suggested in his memo that Council consider dropping
the concept of carrying South Plaza Drive over T.H. 110 at some
future time, which is what the MSA designation was requested for.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that he is concerned over the ultimate
development of the city and if something is to be done that will
resemble a commercial hub, the only way the northeast quadrant of
the intersection can be incorporated into that hub is to bring a
crossing over T.H. 110. He stated that when it goes through the
Comprehensive Plan update process, Council should seriously look
at what it envisions for the northeast area.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she does not want to see the
issue set off much longer. She stated that the question is whether an
overpass would enhance the south part of the intersection.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if Council wants the 12 acres on the
north side of the intersection to be an extension of the development
on the south, there must be some continuity in the development other
than the existing intersection, which would mean the realignment of
existing South Plaza Drive over T.H. 110.
Councilmember Smith stated that it is not clear to her that carrying
South Plaza over the highway is the solution, and that is one of the
things that Council must determine. She questioned Mn/DOT
projections for traffic on T.H. 110 and Dodd, stating that it appears
that Mn/DOT anticipates that the tr�c will double. She felt that the
projections are excessive.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that dropping the MSA designation
for South Plaza locks in what can happen.
Councilmember Krebsbach responded that if the designation is not
shifted to Freeway Road, the city would have to pay for Freeway
Road and South Plaza Drive improvements.

Responding to a question, Public Works Director Danielson stated
that requests for changes in designation must be submitted to
Mn/DOT each March.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the source of funding is
important and if the MSA designation is shifted to Freeway Road,
that improvement would be funded — if not, it would not be funded.
Mayor Mertensotto felt that it would be short-sighted to give up the
option of a bridge at South Plaza.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that if an overpass was constructed
at South Plaza and the existing intersection at Dodd and T.H. 110
was eliminated, there would be a traffic stop at Delaware and at I-
35E with nothing in between, which would speed up traffic. She
was not sure that Mr. Paster would want a connection to the north
along South Plaza, and that a bridge over the highway would mean
realignment of Dodd Road and changing access to the neighborhoods
and would create a dead end at the Fina store and another at the
Standazd station. She also pointed out that if the existing
intersection is removed, all of the tr�c would be shifted to the east.
Councilmember Smith stated that those are all issues that council
needs to discuss with respect to the development of the intersection.
She stated that she would like to know more about Mn/DOT's
criteria for the different types of roads. She pointed out that
Mn/DOT is projecting increases in the level of tr�c on Dodd yet it
still says they are considering Dodd a minor arterial.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that upgrading Freeway Road
using MSA funds shifted from South Plaza makes good sense.
Public Works Director Danielson informed Council that the problem
constructing a bridge over T.H. 110 is that the bridge would have to
be as high as the mound of dirt on the north side of the highway and
that would take away a great deal of the undeveloped pazcel on the
north.
Councilmember Smith stated that one thing Council needs to do is to
look at the actual trafFc movements at the intersection itself. She
felt that much of the traffic is turning movements and it is not clear
that an overpass would help the situation.
Mayor Mertensotto asked why Council should not look at relocating
an at-grade intersection.
Page No. 10
June 17, 1997
Councilmember Smith responded that everything hinges on what is
possible north of the intersection and that Council must consider that
aspect first.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Council is just speculating and
has not had any concept plans for years. He felt that someone must
look at what kind of development should occur on the north. He did
not feel that housing development would be the appropriate use of
the undeveloped property, but rather that commercial use on both
sides of the highway would be more appropriate.
Councilmember Huber stated that his recollection is that at the joint
workshop with the Planning Commission, it was felt that an overpass
would eat up way too much of the undeveloped property.
Councilmember Koch stated that if the intersection were moved,
there would be a stop at Delawaze and almost immediately another
stop at a relocated Dodd/110 intersection.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council needs Mr. Paster to work
with the Council so that it has some idea of what Mr. Paster
envisions as the future for the shopping center and how the south
side could blend in with what is done with the 12 acres of
undeveloped land on the north of the intersection.
Mr. Paster responded that the intersection issue has been under study
for yeazs and that he came to Council last fall for permission to
acquire Parce136 from Mn/DOT. He stated that at that time he was
told he would have an answer soon. He informed Council that the
Mendota Plaza is already built and is struggling. He stated that the
Old America store is closing and relocating to West St. Paul this
summer and he needs to keep moving forward on Parce136 right
now. He stated that regardless of whether a decision is made on the
north side, he must continue to build an umbrella of retail activity to
bring people into the center. He informed Council that the retail
business is a delicate balance that is affected by other businesses in
the azea, by traffic circulation, etc., and if stores are not performing
up to expectations and they are owned by public corporations, they
aze closed. He stated that he needs to have the Dodd/110
intersection remain open and that he feels that an overpass would
have a very detrimental affect on the shopping center. He informed
Council that his vision is to improve and expand the shopping center,
and if an overpass goes in or not he still needs to have access from
T.H. 110 and Dodd.
Page No. 11
June 17, 1997
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council could possibly have to look at
an at-grade intersection to replace the existing intersection. He
asked how that would fit in with future expansion of the Plaza.
Mr. Paster responded that he would have to see the plans, but an
alternate access to the Plaza to the east could work. He felt that the
strength that will come to the corner will be through a greater retail
umbrella, and if Council allows him to purchase Parce136 that will
help him to bring additional retail activity to the center. He informed
Council that he needs its help to acquire the property next to his so
that he can find additional tenants and services to serve the
community.
Councilmember Smith stated that she does not think Parce136 would
be impacted by a realigned intersection or overpass.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that the city has looked
at reserving a portion of land at the T.H. 110 side of Parce136 for
right-of-way.
Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Paster how soon he will be ready to
proceed. He stated that as soon as Council allows the release of
Parce136, others will make similar requests for the unused right-of-
way on the north.
Mr. Paster responded that he has been meetings with prospective
tenants for that site for the past six months. He asked if Council has
any idea when he could take title to the property.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he understands that Mr. Paster is
trying to expand retail activity to make his center grow and is
therefore asking Council to release the right-of-way so that Mn/DOT
can sell it to him. He explained that the problem is that Council
cannot treat the south side of the right-of-way differently from the
north side and Council does not know what the north side can be
used for at this time.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to see that
Freeway Road be realigned behind the veterinary clinic and come
parallel to T.H. 110 with an s-curve to create a larger developable
pazcel. She did not see the undeveloped land developing as retail,
pointing out that the area north of T.H. 110 is a different community
and that T.H. 110 is a significant separation between the north and
south sides of the intersection.
Page No. 12
June 17, 1997
Mr. Paster stated that the commercial on the north side of the
intersection is nominal and if Council would allow it, the
commercial on the south and the retail development will continue.
He stated that he needs Council's help so that he can bring tenants to
the center, and now that the center has been improved he needs to
continue to bring in other tenants. He stated that he cannot worry
about the north side of the intersection and does not see it developing
as retail but that he is worried about the south side. He further stated
that Mn/DOT will allow him to move forward if Council does.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that residential development on the
north would not enhance or assist the shopping center.
Mr. Paster responded that for retail to grow, everything that is done
is a series of building blocks building on each other and that does not
happen with a regional shopping center first and everything growing
around it. He reiterated that he needs Council's help in order to add
building blocks with Pazce136.
Councilmember Koch stated that she thinks Council is looking at the
whole picture and can either approve Mr. Paster's request or not.
She did not think that approving the request will detract from what is
done to the north. She further stated that she does not see an at-
grade intersection would interfere with development of Parce136.
Mayor Mertensotto stated asked Mr. Paster if he can work on his
development potential for Lot 36 and return to Council as soon as
the plan is developed if Council does not make a decision on his
request this evening.
Mr. Paster responded that he cannot. He stated that he is working on
development now and the retailers he is working with have many
people pressuring them. He explained that they will not work with
him unless he has control of the property and he does not have
control because Council can choose to either approve or deny his
request. He stated that once a retailer makes a commitment to him,
he has to prove he has control of the site by a contract or purchase
agreement.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the senior housing facility should help
the shopping center. He informed Mr. Paster that now that a
consultant has been selected to prepaze the comprehensive plan
update Council can accelerate the process in order to give him a
definitive answer. He further stated that perhaps there is something
•
Page No. 13
June 17, 1997
that can be done on the north side that will enhance the shopping
center.
Mr. Paster responded that he does not feel that agreeing to release the
property will interfere with planning for the north side. He stated
that if he does not own the parcel he will have no credibility with the
retailers he is dealing with, and he needs Council's help to bring
additional retail to the center.
Councilmember Smith asked about the area behind the center, noting
that Mr. Paster had been talking about making it another building
front. _
Mr. Paster responded that the city was only going to allow signage
for the dentist and Snyder's.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked Mr. Paster how he feels about
South Plaza Drive becoming an s-curve behind the center and an at-
grade intersection at the highway.
Mr. Paster responded that he is not an engineer so is not qualified to
answer, but that a good number of his customers are impulse
oriented — stopping because they see the shopping center and the
main sign from the highway.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council could delay a decision until
the second meeting in July but that he does not think Council can
meet with Mr. Paster and come to conclusions about the intersection
and the north side development by that time.
Councilmember Huber stated that the release of Parce136 creates a
domino affect on the north and Council needs to be ready to make a
decision on the entire area first.
Mr. Paster responded that Old America is going to Robert Street — in
another retail area. He fi.uther stated that additional retail in the
Mendota Plaza will increase the traffic to the center and if there is no
additional retail the center will not grow. He stated that he has not
increase the retail in the center and retailers want to be where there is
retail activity. He pointed out that while Council is expert at
planning and govemment issues, he is an expert on shopping centers
and retailers, and retailers follow what the others do. He stated that
all retailers want to know who the anchor tenants of a shopping
center are — Old America wanted to know who was an anchor and
who would be coming. He explained that Old America left because
Page No. 14
June 17, 1997
he could not tell them, and now he needs to find another tenant to
take the 20,000 squaze feet that will be vacant. He stated that he
needs the additional land so he can expand the center, and he needs
Council to release the right-of-way so he can buy it.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what response Council would have to
Mn/DOT if Council was asked why the city needs the northern right-
of-way if there is not going to be a ring road.
Mr. Paster responded that the city will have an easement over part of
Parce136 so a ring road can be constructed.
Councilmember Koch agreed, and asked why Council cannot tell
Mn/DOT that Council is considering its options and has an idea of
what will be done but the city does not need Parce136.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that NIr. Paster go ahead and work on
developing the parcel just as if he owned it.
Mr. Paster responded that he could do that if Council told him that it
would have an answer for him in 30 days. He asked what Council
wants on the north side and how much the northem right-of-way
would cost.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Mn/DOT controls the properly so
Council could not answer that question.
Mr. Paster suggested that there are 12 acres of land controlled by the
state and Council wants a development that will fit into city plans.
He suggested that Council name Paster Enterprises as the designated
developer and he will develop the site according to the ciTy's plans.
Councilmember Huber responded that Council cannot make that
decision this evening but could explore it.
Councilmember Smith stated that she would like Council to speak to
several developers who could express their ideas for development so
that Council can make a reasoned decision on what is good for the
community.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council would also like Mr. Paster's
input and asked for his ideas on what he thinks should happen on the
north property.
Page No. 15
June 17, 1997
Councilmember Smith suggested that Council set up meetings with
potential developers and the city planner. She stated that staff can
make the contacts and coordinate the process, which should begin
soon. She further stated that she thinks that the issue is separate
from the comprehensive plan update and would fall within the more
normal duties of the city planner.
Administrator Batchelder stated that he feels it appeazs that there will
be a realignment of Freeway Road, and if the city is interested in
actively looking at development of the northern right-of-way, that
means the city is not prepazed to release that right-of-way should
there be a request for release.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that it is clear that the realignment of the
intersection would not interfere with the development of Parce136.
Councilmember Smith stated that one of the things that Council
should consider is to look at the azea right azound South Plaza Drive
to see if additional right of way is needed close to South Plaza.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that timing is important to Mr.
Paster and if acquiring Parce136 helps him, Council could
accommodate him.
Councilmember Huber agreed that ultimately Council will probably
release Parcel 36.
NSP FRANCHISE Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson regazding renewal of gas and electric franchise agreements
with NSP. Discussion on the matter was tabled to July 15.
ROSEVILLE PROPERTIES/ Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant Hollister relative
CENTRE POINTE to a request from Roseville Properties for authorization for issuance
of a building permit for an office building on an eight acre parcel of
land located off Centre Pointe Boulevazd. Council also
acknowledged a letter of intent, site plan, landscape plan, grading
and utility plan and exterior elevations for the proposed structure.
Mr. Hugh Cullin, from Roseville Properties, Mr. Glenn Lampert,
project architect, and Mr. Tom Ryan, construction contractor, were
present for the discussion.
Mr. Cullen explained that the proposed 42,300 squaze foot office
building is the second phase of the Centre Pointe office project. He
informed Council that the building will be very similar to the Gopher
State building immediately to the south. It is his intent to continue
Page No. 16
June 17, 1997
with the third phase of the development this year, with more phases
next year. He informed Council that Roseville Properties is a very
conservative developer who seeks quality tenants before seeking
building permits and future development to the west will also be
driven by an o�ce use. Mr. Cullen stated that he is only appearing
before Council today to seek approval for the 42,000 square foot
building and has already signed a letter of intent with two
prospective tenants for 17,000 square feet of the structure for
occupancy in October.
Mr. Lampert reviewed site plans and elevations for the building.
Responding to a question from Councilmember Krebsbach, he stated
that the heating elements will be in the center of the building so that
they cannot be seen.
Mr. Cullin stated that he views this as a"Waters" quality
development which will be purely office-only properry. He informed
Council that the proposed structure is a one-story, slab on grade
construction with no potential for a second story.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that it is very important to finish the
structure on all four sides and that Council does not want office-
warehouse facilities in the development.
Mr. Cullin responded that he will commit to brick all around the
building, the same as the Gopher State brick.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that Council does wants to keep
office/warehouse and office/flex in the industrial park and not along
T.H. 110. She further stated that the Gopher State building has
enhanced the Centre Pointe development.
Councilmember Smith stated that she wants to make sure that
drainage is addressed and that on site drainage is adequate.
Mr. Ryan responded that he has designed the building with interior
downspouts and that the drainage plans, which were prepared by
professional engineers, have been submitted to city engineering. He
explained that all of the site drainage will be controlled within the
parking lot. He briefly reviewed parking, stating that 23 of the
required spaces are shown as proof of parking, because he would
prefer not to put in more blacktop than is needed.
Councilmember Smith moved approval of the issuance of a building
permit to Roseville Properties for the proposed office building,
Page No. 17
June 17, 1997
conditioned that the certificate of occupancy will be withheld until
the drainage plan has been reviewed and approved by city
engineering and further conditioned that all four sides of the building
be completed with brick similar to that used on the Gopher state
building, that the number of pazking stalls required by the Zoning
Ordinance will be provided and that the entrance to the parking lot
will be constructed in accordance with the submitted plan.
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.

NY FALLS LAND DONATION Council acknowledged a letter from the Ivy Hill Townhouse
Association offering to donate Lot F of the Ivy Hills Addition to the
city. Council also acknowledged an associated memo from Assistant
Hollister. Mr. Ralph Oyen was present on behalf of the Association.
Mr. Oyen informed Council that the Association has been trying to
donate the land to the city for quite a while and came before the
Parks and Recreation Commission about a month ago to discuss the
offer.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if the pazcel is accepted as park land
dedication and put into the park system it would be dedicated for
park purposes only and can only be used for park purposes.
Mr. Oyen responded that the original intent for the parcel when the
land was platted was that it be used for recreation purposes.
Mayor Mertensotto asked if the city would have a problem about
maintenance if the parcel were accepted for passive open space and
was not placed in the pazk system.
Administrator Batchelder responded that the parcel is a turfed area
adjacent to Ivy Falls park and would have to be mowed weekly.
Councilmember Smith stated that one of her concerns is that the
Pazks and Recreation Commission discussed the possibility of soccer
fields on the parcel in the future. She asked if the Ivy Hill
townhouse community would object to a more active use of the
parcel, such as soccer and whether people have considered the
possibility that if the land comes into the park system it could be
used for a more active use.
Mr. Oyen responded that in the past there was some minor comment
from two or three people, but since that time there has been no
Page No. 18
June 17, 1997
feedback from anyone. He stated that the townhouse area is
surrounded by park facilities now and the use is limited except for
the playground and ball diamond. He stated that use of the parcel for
recreation fits in with the community.
Councilmember Huber pointed out that it would be difficult to
develop a soccer field on the site but that it could perhaps be used as
a casual practice area.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the letter from the association states
that the property is currently being used as an extension of the park,
and if that is the case Council should take the property into the park
system with the understanding that there is no commitment that it
will ever be developed.
Administrator Batchelder stated that there are four townhouse
associations in the area, and that the Ivy Hill Townhouse Association
is the original association and it controls Lot F. He further stated
that the units that are adjacent to Lot F aze in a different association,
and the Pazks and Recreation Commission was concemed about
whether those people would object to an active use of the parcel.
Councilmember Krebsbach felt that there should be public input or a
public hearing.
Mr. Oyen responded that the Ivy Hill Townhouse Association
notified a11 of the associations and received no feedback. He
explained that the association put out both telephone and written
inquiries to the other associations, which all hold regular meetings,
beginning in the mid-1980's with no response. The last inquiry was
sent last year and again no response was received. He stated that
originally there was feedback from one of the associations that some
people thought the city could put apartments on the site, but once
they were informed that the properry was dedicated for park purposes
they were not concerned.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if the city accepts the parcel for park
purposes, it will remain park property. Responding to
Councilmember Krebsbach's concern that a hearing be held, he
stated that a hearing is not necessary if the Ivy Hill Townhouse
Association has control of the property and wants to give it to the
city, as long as it is understood that the association members have no
expectations that the city will do anything to develop the parcel.
Page No. 19
June 17, 1997
Mr. Oyen responded that he made the donation proposal clear at the
last annual association meeting and the association went through the
process of giving it to the city. He stated that his association was
definite that it could be used for park purposes, which was also was
the original intent for the lot.
Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Oyen stated
that the association will process a simple quitclaim deed with no
strings attached.
Attomey Hart stated that the city should get title insurance so that
Council knows that the title is clear, particularly given the number
of associations involved.
Councilmember Koch moved to accept the donation of Lot F, valued
at $56,000, from the Ivy Hill Townhouse Association for
incorporation into the city's park system as an addition to Ivy Hall
Park, along with direction for the City Attorney to process an
application for title insurance on the property after the deed is
received.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.

McNEILL SITE Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson relative to acquisition of the McNeill site on T.H. 13.
Council also acknowledged a letter from the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency in response to the "contingency plan" for
investigation and clean-up, a letter from City Attorney Hart
regazding potential condemnation, and a proposed relocation
assistance agreement between the city and the Dakota County HRA.
Mr. Ken Haberman, from Barr Engineering, was present for the
discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto briefly reviewed the issues relating to acquisition
of the property. He stated that the City Attorney must check probate
records on heirship and deternune the status of the title. He further
stated that he does not want the city to get into a quick take process.
Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Haberman how much money the city
has spent on Barr Engineering work and how much expense is still
anticipated.
Mr. Haberman responded that in September, 1996 there was a budget
of $12,115 approved by Council. He stated that at that time, there
were tasks laid out in the proposed to be completed in a few months,
Page No. 20
June 17, 1997
and costs were below budget at that time. Currently, expenses are at
budget, and that is given a number of additional tasks over winter,
including two additional site visits, visits with the County, etc. He
informed Council that the PCA has approved the reports that were
submitted and there are two separate types of contaminates on the
site, administered by two PCA sections. He stated that he had
submitted a proposal on April 10 for a property clean-up implement
plan.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the total estimated cost of $12,600
was on a time and materials basis and he believed that the city
received an invoice for more than that amount without a prior
appearance by the consultant. He asked what type of expenditure the
city can anticipate as faz as Barr engineering costs relating to
acquisition of the site. .
Mr. Haberman responded that Barr has spent no more than the
originally approved budget and at that time, the tasks were to bring
the process up to submittal to PCA. He e:cplained that Barr spent a
number of hours after that, but is still under the original budget. Mr.
Haberman stated that in April he received verbal approval from the
PCA and he felt what he had submitted to them was going to be
approved, so he laid out the next tasks in his April 10 proposal. He
explained that right now there is a complete picture in terms of tanks
on the site but the property changes from day to day, and to say that
the drums that aze on the site now will be the same location next
week would not be correct because the occupants of the property
moving things around.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he does not think Council needs
anything more before it goes before the commission.
Mr. Haberman stated that he does not know what is in the drums and
what he proposes is hiring contractors to see what is in them.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the city has already spent $12,000
and has just identified that there is pollution on the site and not what
kind of pollution.
Councilmember Smith asked what funding is available for site clean-
up.
Mr. Haberman responded that under the state Petrofund
program, anyone who takes care of petroleum contamination is
eligible for those funds. He stated that, with respect to anticipated
Page No. 21
June 17, 1997
further city costs for analysis, Task 4 in his April 10 proposal
addresses the next set of circumstances which should occur. Under
this task, the contents of the drums (tanks) would be identified to see
if they are hazazdous or just petroleum product, and then they have to
be removed. He explained that if the city were to purchase the
property, it could be held responsible for what is in the tanks, so he is
suggesting that the contents be identified and that the tanks be
removed.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city cannot clean up the site unless
it has ownership rights, and the only way it can get title to the land is
to condemn it. He asked why additional money should be spent
ahead of time unless the city needs to determine the value of the
property.
Mr. Haberman responded that his task was to come up with a clean-
up plan, and since this is a superfund site, the tanks would have to be
identified and removed before the city can use the site for street
sweepings. He stated that the $12,000 cost in his April 10 proposal
includes selecting and retaining contractors, through a bidding
process. He explained that this type of contract preparation work,
which will cost about $5,000, could be done by city engineering but
given their work level they prefer that it be included in Barr's
proposal. He explained that the process is not just analyzing what is
in the drums but also getting contracts and reviewing bids.
Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Haberman
confirmed that Barr's $12,100 quote for the property cleanup
implementation plan (Task 4 proposal) is still valid.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Haberman that Council will notify
him when to proceed, and directed him to wait until he receives
Council direction before proceeding with Task 4.
Councilmember Huber was concerned about whether the city should
proceed with acquisition of the site before clean-up costs are known.
Mr. Haberman responded that the petrofund is strictly for petroleum
and will fund up to 90% of the costs. He explained that the problem
is that there are many contaminates that are not petroleum but that
are hazardous, and currently if people buy contaminated property and
have not received the approval of a final clean-up play from the
PCA, the sate still sues them as the responsible party.

June 17, 1997
Attorney Hart stated that the city would not want to conclude
acquisition of title until there is a much better understanding of what
is in the drums and what the removal cost will be. He further stated
that the process will take a long time, and Barr's tasks are going to
be spread over a period of time as well. He explained that it is also
understood that the city has no recourse for damages against the
people on the property.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Council that it will probably take five
or six months before the city can get a commissioner's hearing.
Councilmember Smith moved to empower the city attorney to
commence condemnation proceedings in regazd to the acquisition of
the McNeill site, using the city's right of eminent domain, and that
the city notify the Dakota County HRA that the city will be using the
HRA for relocation services.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.
Council informed Mr. Haberman that the city will notify him when it
commissions him to begin Task 4.
GARDEN CLUB Administrator Batchelder expressed the city's appreciation to the
Mendota Heights Garden Club for its donation of a red splendor crab
tree for City Hall. He informed Council and the audience that this is
the seventh year that the club has donated and planted red splendors
on the City Hall site.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the city show its appreciation by
providing refreshments for one of the club's regular meetings at city
hall. He also directed the City Administrator to prepaze a letter of
appreciation for his signature.
COLTNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Huber informed staff about some significant brush
growth that should be removed along Wachtler and a street sign for
Cherry Hill Road that should be relocated.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she has received several calls
from people complaining about crows and asked if the DNR has a
crow control program.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council,

adjustment of his southern lot line by acquiring 1,440 feet of his neighbor's
property.
Mr. Schaefer explained that the additional land will allow him to enclose his
entire yard with a fence. He informed the Commission that he has a pool.
Chair Dwyer stated that Mr. Schaefer's property (Parcel A) is currently under
the 15,000 square foot minimum lot size. He stated that the additional
1,440 square feet of land will bring Mr. Schaefer's property into
conformance with zoning regulations. He stated that the Schribman's lot
June 24, 1997 Planning Commission Minuies
(Par�cel B) is a non-conforming lat and that the reductian af square faotage
will not change the zoning status of the lot.
Commissioner Duggan inquired about the reduction af land and whether it
will affect any future impravements to the praperty {i.e. future variance
requests). Planner McMonigal sfiated that the reconfiguration will not cause
Mr. Schribman's lot (ParceC B} ta be in violation of the Qrdinance. She stated
that the remaining Parcel B will have some land available to the north should
the Schribman`s or any future awners wish to expand. She stated that
towards the front of the Schribman's house, an additional 10 feet in width
could be added, widening out to 25 feet in the rear.
Commissianer Tilsen stated that it appears these lots are smaElar than other
lots in the neighborhood. Tilsen stated that a part of Lilac Lane actually
traverses one corner of Mr. Schaefer's iat. Tiisen suggested that the City
should request that Mr. Schaefer donate roughly 5 feet from the curb to the
City to rectify the situation. Pubiic Works Director Danie(son concurred and
stated that the City can process the necessary paperwork should Mr.
Schaefer concur.
Chair Dwyer opened the meeting to the public.

Park Drive, was present to discuss their request for a wetlands permit which
would allow the construction of a porch and deck.
Mr. Dalseth explained that the proposed deck will be 1 1' x 16' and that the
deck will surround the porch. He stated that a portion of the deck will
extend approximately 3'h feet into the slope of the ravine. Dalseth stated
that there is a deteriorating retaining wall that will be replaced. He explained
that drainage is not a concern and that after a heavy rain today, there is no
standing water in the ravine.
In response to a question from Commissioner Lorberbaum, Public Works
Director Danielson explained that this ravine is considered a minor drainage
way and that it is identified on the City's Wetlands System Maps.
Commissioner Duggan moved to waive the public hearing as signatures of
consent had been received.

LENTZ -
FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE
Mr. Thomas Lentz, of 2236 Apache Street, was present to discuss his
request for a 5 foot front yard setback variance which would allow the
construction of an addition to the front of his home by extending his garage
forward 6 feet, to be 25 feet versus 30 feet, from the front property line.
Mr. Lentz explained that he would like to expand his garage and home west
June 24, 1997 P/anning Commission Minutes l 3
and north for an additional garage and a family room. The dimensions being:
10' x 10' x 21 ' deep garage space and along side of the garage a family
room of 1 1' x 3' x 18' deep. He presented a three dimensional drawing.
Mr. Lentz stated that the addition will step into the 30 foot setback by 5 feet
and that he is asking for a 6 foot variance to insure adequate property
dimension measurements.
Chair Dwyer stated that as a part of the zoning ordinance requirements for
variances, an applicant must demonstrate hardship. He noted that the City
Council has established a Variance Policy within the Friendly Hills
neighborhood.
Commissioner Friel stated that the Planning Commission has suggested that
the Council consider not requiring a resident to process a variance request
when there is a consensus amongst the neighbors that an addition will not
affect its neighbors.
In response to a question from Commissioner Lorberbaum, Mr. Lentz
explained that there is an existing foyer which has one step up from the
grade and that he assumes there will be one more additional step up to the
porch area from the level of the sidewalk.
Commissioner Duggan noted that the plans submitted are not to scale. Mr.
Lentz informed the Commission that the measurements are accurate.
Duggan suggested that Mr. Lentz be required to receive a Certificate of
Survey. Commissioner Friel stated that at the time of the building permit
process, the building official inspects the property dimensions and insures
that the setbacks have been accurately measured. He stated that a
Certificate of Survey is an additional expense that should not be required of
the applicant. Mr. Lentz reminded the Commission that he has asked for an
additional foot for "safekeeping". He informed the Commission that he has
submitted a revised site plan.
Chair Dwyer stated that all signatures of consent have been received.
Commissioner Friel moved to recommend that the City Council grant the

SUBDIVIS[4N APPRCiVA� FOR
LOT CONFIGURATION
Mr. Carl Baumeister, representing the Mendota Heights United Church of
Christ, iocated at fi$0 Highway 1 1 Q, was present to discuss their request for
a Lat Reconfiguration which would allow the transfer of 1.97 acres of land ta
the Dodge Nature Center.
Mr. Baumeister exp(ained that the Church is proposing to transfer 2�0 feet of
its property to the Dodge Nature Center. He stated tha# the common !ot line
between the two properties will be adjusted and there will not be any visible
change to the properties. He stated that the Dodge Nature Center wiil
mostly likely remove the barb wire fience and out bui(ding. He explained that
the Nature Center has offered to purchase the land and that the Church is
appreciative of the offer since additional funds will be helpful in building their
new church addition.
Cammissianer Tilsen inquired abaut the number of acres and whether a
transfer of property is allowed under the requirements of the City's
Subdivision Qrdinance. Public Works Directar Danielson responded that it is
allowed as per the City's Subdivision Ordinance Section 1 1.3 - Exceptions.
Tilsen inquired if there will be any issues related to future access by creating
an additional parcel. He stated that he does not want the Nature Center to
be stuck with property that does nat have access. It was clarified by Mr.
Baumeister that it has been understood that the Nature Center does not
intend ta use this land for anything else but a nature preserve. TiEsen stated
that he daes not want to see this property divided in the future because
access could become an issue.

DISCUSS RECREATION VEHICLE PARKING
AND STC}RAGE DRAFT QRDINANCE
Chair Dwyer explained that the City Council has requested that the
Commission review amendments to the Zoning Ordinance relating to
Reereation Vehicle parking/storage. The purpose is to ciarify and strengthen
the City's regulatians regarding the outdoor parking and starage of
recreationai vehic(es.
Dwyer stated that the P(anner and staff have submitfied two alternatives to
the existing language of the zoning ordinance:
1. Allaws no parking or starage af recreational vehicles on a residential
lat; or
2. Allows storage of recreation vehicles, with the follawing stipulations:
1. Recreational vehicles may only be parked or stored on the side
or rear partion of the iot.
2. Recreational vehicle� must be parked or stored on a paved
surface that is connected to a paved driveway.
3. Recreational vehicles must not be parked or stored projecting
forward of the frant of the hause.
4. Recreational vehicle parking or storage must meet the zoning
district sefiback requirements.
Planner McManigal stated that there has been some confusion in interpreting
the existing ordinance and that the alternatives presented are ordinances that
other cities have adopted. She stated that this type af ardinance is difificult
to enforce.
!n response to a question from the Commissian, Public Works Director
Danieison stated tnat the City does receive periadic complaints regarding the
staragelparking of recreationa! vehicles. He stated that a recent case
June 24, 1997 Planning Commission Minutes 6
regarding the interpretation of storage vs. parking is what generated the
review of the existing ordinance.
Commissioner Friel stated that enforcing such an ordinance is difficult
especially if an individual is just parking a vehicle to be used at a later date.
He stated that objections occur when there is a"junk" vehicle being stored
on the property. He stated that banning the storage/parking of recreational
vehicles is a definite consideration but that it will cause a"revolution" within
the City. He suggested that "personal watercraft" should be added to the
ordinance.
Commissioner Tilsen stated that it would be difficult to add parking language
to the ordinance. He stated that he stores his vehicles off of his property
and that when he uses it, he parks the vehicles in his driveway while he
cleans the vehicles. He stated that it would be too cumbersome on the City
to chalk tires to determine whether the vehicle is being stored or just parked.
Chair Dwyer stated that this is a tough issue and that he does not want to
see vehicles stored in front yards. Tilsen stated that storage needs to be
defined in a better fashion. He stated that he does not want to include
parking within the definition of storage.
Commissioner Duggan suggested that language pertaining to licensed/non
licensed vehicle should be included to help identify whether a vehicle is being
stored or being used. For instance, vehicles being sold from a driveway. He
further suggested that the language seems too cumbersome and that using
"bullets" would better identify the intent of the ordinance.
Chair Dwyer stated that he is not interested in banning the storage of
recreational vehicles within the City. Commissioner Lorberbaum stated that
she does not want to see vehicles for sale in a driveway for 30 days
consecutively. Tilsen stated that it would be easy to ban the storage of
vehicles from the setback area. He stated that the intent should be to get
the vehicles far enough back where they cannot be seen.
Commissioner Friel stated that he would like to see the vehicles banned from
the setback area and front yards. He stated that language pertaining to
parking should be included within the ordinance and that parking needs to be
distinguished from storing.
Public Works Director Danielson pointed out that it is common for people to
store their recreational vehicle on their lot during the winter time and park
their vehicle on their lot during the summer time.
June 24, 1997 Planning Commission Minutes 7
Commissioner Tilsen suggested that defining storage as a vehicle being in
one location for an "x" amount of time should be considered. He stated that
the intent should be clearly identified by setting a specific time limit of
storing a vehicle. He stated that complaints seem to stem from vehicles
being stored on a property for a long period of time.
Administrative Assistant Hollister informed the Commission that staff is
looking for an ordinance that will make enforcement an easier process. He
stated that an ordinance with solid criteria such as where a recreational
vehicle can be stored on someone's property will help give staff easier
guidelines in enforcing an ordinance.
Commissioner Duggan suggested that the Planner and staff should work on
"cleaning up" the language within the proposed ordinance. He suggested
that staff include a copy of a drawing within the ordinance which specifically
indicates where recreational vehicles can/cannot be placed on residential
properties. He suggested that staff return with a revised draft ordinance in
July.
Chair Dwyer called a recess at 8:45 p.m.
Chair Dwyer reconvened the meeting at 8:55.
DISCUSS CELL/PCS DRAFT ORDINANCE
Chair Dwyer explained that at the May 27, 1997 Planning Commission
meeting, the Commission discussed a draft Cellular/PCS Ordinance and made
specific and general comments for revision. The Commission then instructed
staff to pass their comments along to the City Council.
Chair Dwyer stated that the Commission had also instructed staff to send
inquiries to the industry hoping that their comments may prove to be of some
help in crafting the Cellular/PCS Ordinance. Dwyer stated that one firm has
submitted their comments prior to the June 17 deadline. He informed the
Commission that two other firms have submitted their letters for review
during tonight's meeting.
Mr. Peter Coyle, of Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren, informed the
Commission that his firm represents American Portable Telecom (APT). Mr.
Coyle gave a brief summary regarding his comments and concerns with
respect to the draft ordinance.
Mr. Coyle noted his concern for restricting the height of an antennae to a
maximum of 75 feet. He stated that geographical restrictions dictate how
June 24, 1997 Planning Commission Minutes 8
3.
tall a tower can or cannot be. He stated that 75 feet is not a realistic height
and that the industry is not able to accept it. He stated that the City needs
to be aware of the varying topography within the City and that there are
certain areas were these towers can/cannot be placed.
Mr. Coyle informed the Commission that the normal height of their antenna is
roughly 165 feet but that it is not unusual to have a 1 10 or 120 foot
antenna. He stated that co-location requirements are hindered if the
antennae height can only be the maximum height of 75 feet. Commissioner
Duggan inquired about the smallest tower APT has installed to date. Mr.
Coyle responded that he is aware of a 90 foot tower. He stated that he is
not aware of any towers planned to be smaller than 90 feet.
In response to a question from Commissioner Lorberbaum regarding
telecommunication technology, Mr. Coyle explained APT is a company that is
maturing along with the telecommunications technology. He stated that the
determining factor in placing antennas are a direct result of how specific
technology is at the current time of placement. He explained that capacity
requirements are different amongst the specific telecommunication firms.
Commissioner Friel stated that he believes that the number of towers within
the City is not the issue, but rather visibility. He stated that he has concerns
about all antennas in that the taller an antenna, the more visible the antenna
is. Mr. Coyle stated that screening a tower is difficult. Friel stated that the
industry can be very imaginative. Commissioner Duggan stated that
screening could occur at eye level. He stated that the Commission realizes
that the whole tower cannot be screened. Commissioner Lorberbaum stated
that some towers have buildings next to them and that helps to not create
such a visual impact. Mr. Coyle stated that they are trying to strive towards
finding a compatible opportunity in locating both a sufficient geographical
location and a design that does not visually impact the site. He stated that if
APT could find a way to minimize the visual impact of a tower, they would.
He stated that if you cannot see a tower, it will not work.
Commissioner Duggan inquired if as technology improves, could a tower be
lowered. Mr. Coyle stated that this is a thought not considered by other
cities.
Mr. Coyle stated search radius is a concern and that normal search radius is
1/4 to '/2 a mile. He stated that APT has no problem in sharing what their
coverage requirements are. He stated that they are not able to discuss
analysis information and strategic planning with other companies present.
June 24, 1997 P/anning Commission Minutes 9
Commissioner Tilsen inquired about camouflaging the antennas. Mr. Coyle
stated that is not easily done. He stated that towers can be incorporated
into bell towers within churches but to make an antennae look like an oak
tree is difficult. Tilsen stated that he believes the City should require all
antennas within the City to be camouflaged which would then force the
industry to be creative when installing antenna within Mendota Heights.
Commissioner Lorberbaum inquired about a technology she had heard about
which allows the installation of an antenna within a resident's roof. Mr.
Peter Beck, representing AT&T, stated that this technology works if the roof
is in the right geographical location and at the right height.
Commissioner Friel stated that antennae locations are better suited along
freeways. Mr. Coyle responded that the bulk of antennae installation occurs
along freeways. He explained that the technology is now being designed and
encouraged by the FCC to be installed within residential areas also.
Commissioner Friel inquired about the amount of cooperation MnDOT has
given in allowing antennas to be installed within their right-of-way. Coyle
stated that MnDOT has cooperated well, especially in co-locating antennas.
Mr. Peter Beck, representing AT&T, briefly summarized his letter. In response
to a question from Commissioner Friel, Mr. Beck stated that he was aware
that the FCC has sent letters to 19 communities regarding antennae
installation within Minnesota.
Mr. Beck stated that he would like the City to consider allowing antennas to
be building mounted rather than subjecting the company to the conditional
use process. He stated most communities have gone this route. Beck
suggested that antennas be a permitted use on institutional buildings (i.e.,
schools►. He stated that school districts are very interested in receiving
additional revenue.
Commissioner Duggan inquired why more antennas are necessary if the
demands are being met. Mr. Beck responded that capacity is an issue and
that specific cell sites can handle just so many calls.
In response to a question from Commissioner Duggan, Mr. Beck stated that
the telecommunications industry is a capital intensive business. He stated
that co-location is a policy that has been pursued quite extensively
throughout the industry.
Commissioner Duggan suggested that the industry should consider pooling
its resources together in determining the best sites within a city. Mr. Beck
responded that federal anti-trust laws are an issue.
June 24, 1997 P/anning Commission Minutes 10
�
Commissioner Tilsen stated that aesthetics is a real concern. He stated that
he believes the industry should be required to camouflage the antennas. Mr.
Beck stated that this requirement would work as long as it is well defined.
He stated that an antennae can easily be camouflaged if it is installed on a
light pole.
Commissioner Tilsen inquired if antennas can be installed on NSP towers.
Mr. Beck stated that this is being researched and that safety is a concern.
Mr. Lee, representing U.S. West, was present to summarize his letter
regarding the draft ordinance. He stated that he agrees with the other
representatives' concerns. He informed the Commission that his company
provides a different technology. He stated that their antennae heights are 75
feet. He stated that they are working with NSP to locate antennas on their
towers. Lee informed the Commission that U.S. West prefers to construct
their antennas on their own property.
Mr. Beck suggested that staff ineet with industry representatives to discuss
the proposed ordinance further. He stated that other communities have
pursued this process and that it seems to have worked well.
The Commission discussed conducting a workshop to discuss this issue
further. It was noted that the Council has given a specific time line in
pursuing this ordinance and staff reminded the Commission that the
moratorium expires in December.
Commissioner Friel moved to recommend that the City Council approve the
Planning Commission's request to conduct a workshop to discuss the
proposed cellular/PCS ordinance on July 22 and to reschedule the regular
Planning Commission meeting to July 29.

MEMO
June 26, 1997
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kevin Batchelder, City Admini �
Subject: Acknowledge Correspondence on MCTO Transit Redesign
DISCUSSION
This memo is to forward correspondence that has been received regarding the proposed
Transit Redesign by the Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO). Ms. Dianne
Berfelz, of 688 Wentworth, is concerned about the loss of fixed route commuter service (Route
#7) to downtown Saint Paul. (Please see attached letters.)
Mr. Scott Thompson, of MCTO, has informed me that following City Council's
discussion with MCTO on May 20, 1997 that they have reconsidered eliminating both fixed
routes in Mendota Heights. The two, peak-hour, fixed routes in Mendota Heights are the
Route #5 and the Route #7. Mr. Thompson has informed me that MCTO is having difficulty
in locating a Transit Hub that is proposed for South Robert Street and that, without the transit
hub, MCTO cannot fully implement the proposed changes.
Mr. Thompson has informed me that MCTO is proposing to keep the Route #5, based
on public comments they received. However, he also informed me that they intend to
eliminate the Route #7 and replace its service with D.A.R.T.S. dial-a-ride and subscription
service, possibly as soon as Septemher. He estimated that 5 to 8 riders use the Route #7.
Mr. Thompson will be responding in writing to Ms. Berfelz. One suggestion he made
was adding another MVTA Route #48 trip to accommodate Route #7 riders. Minnesota Valley
Transit Authority (MVTA) has contracted with MCTO for another year of service provision in
Mendota Heights for Route #48, which follows Dodd Road to downtown Saint Paul.
ACTION REOUIRED
No action is required. This item is for City Council information and acknowledgement.

Dear Mr. Batchedler
Enclosed please find a copy of my most recent letter to MCTO
regarding their proposal to eliminate Route 7 bus service in
Mendota Heights and possibly replace it with dial-a-ride
service by DARTS.
I appreciate the time you spent with me on the telephone
this morning. It was interesting to me that Mendota Heights
still pays $450,000 annually to MCTO to subsidize dwindling
bus service in our city. It was also somewhat encouraging
to me to learn that MCTO may still consider a"fixed route"
in Mendota Heights. Put it on Dodd Road where it belongs!
I also appreciate your giving DARTS executive director's
name to me. DARTS is an important community resource that
needs to be used to its fullest capacity.
Thank you so much for your continued support in this effort
to keep bus service--of some type--in Mendota Heights. I
consider you an important ally!
Very truly yours

Dear Mr. Thompson
Even though I missed the official deadline for commenting on
the proposed elimination of Route 7F in Mendota Heights, I
hope that you will still consider my comments. News of this
proposed route elimination never appeared in MCTO's
"Takeout", and it was only by chance that I recently ordered
the informational package from MCTO containing this and
other proposals.
I was very grateful to have the Route 7 bus on Dodd Road
after the Route 29 bus was eliminated, but it meant
readjusting my work schedule. Taking the Route 48A bus
would mean even further adjustments to my work schedule.
That could be a problem for me.
One of your proposals is to have DARTS provide a dial-a-ride
service. This would be wonderful, if DARTS vould take me to
my destination (First Trust Company). But the proposal
states that I would be taken to a West Saint Paul Transit
Hub. How inconvenient! This hardly seems like
"dial-a-ride" to me. If DARTS can take senior citizens
wherever they need to go, why can't they do that for any
Mendota Heights resident?--particularly if the service is
being subsidized by Mendota Heights tax dollars.
In short, I need reliable transportation to downtown Saint
Paul from Mendota Heights about 8:30 a.m. three days a week.
Late afternoon southbound transportation is also necessary.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look
forward to hearing from you soon.
Very truly yours

Thank you for your comments regarding the changes proposed in the Northern Dakota County
Transit Redesign Plan. Scott Thompson has relayed your letter to'me and asked me to respond to
your concerns. We are, of course, very reluctant to reduce the convenience of service to any of
our customers." At the same time, we are charged with a mission of providing efficient transit
service for the region. Continuing low ridership in Mendota Heights has forced us to redesign
service to be more cost effective.
I wanted to let you know that since the public hearing in May, we have made a number of changes
to the transit redesign plan. Some of these changes were made based on comments received
during the public hearing. We have also been forced to delay a significant portion of the plan until
the September, 1998 because we have been unable to locate a suitable transit hub site in West St.
Paul.
This Fall we will eliminate Route 7F as planned. Route SD will continue to run, but will end on
South Plaza Drive, near Mendota Plaza. To cover those areas where fixed-route transit service is
being reduced or removed, we intend to provide a new dial-a-ride service for Mendota Heights
residents that will connect to Routes 5D, 48A and 72S at South Plaza Drive. This will allow
anyone in Mendota Heights to schedule a trip from their home to South Plaza Drive in the
morning, and schedule a return trip in the afternoon. Note that this is a different dial-a-ride
service than the one proposed in the original plan, which will eventually connect to regular route
ser�ice in West St. Pacl.
We understand that these proposed changes reduce the level of fixed-route service provided to
your neighborhood. We are hopeful that most 7F riders will find the new dial-a-ride service
nearly as convenient as the current service or will be able to adjust their commute to use either
Route SD or Route 48A.
We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause. It is certainly not rewarding for us
to decrease the level of service for anyone in the region, but in certain cases were are forced to
balance the costs of service with the number of customers that are served. Certainly, as demand
for service in Mendota Heights increases, we will be pleased to increase the level of service that is
provided.

5. Staff Report -
v
Unapproved
A) Executive Director: J. Vtiller reported that three of the v"DC seven member cities
have acted on the request for funding production of Lr.sight 7 H. Hovey reported that the
City of Sunfish Lake approved a contribution at its last meeting. Cities that have not
acted yet include Inver Grove Heights, Mendota, and West St Paul. J i�Iiller stated that
if Franchise fees continue at the level they have been, it would be feasible to include
funding of the program in the 1998 budget.
1998 budgets for NDC� and NDCTV are being prepared. Final approved versions must
be mailed to the member cities by August 1. In accordance with a recommendation from
the auditors, a list of designated funds will also be prepared for approval by the
Commission at the July meeting.
The most recent monthly report from Continental shows a breakdown among the various
tiers of service (Basic, CPS, mid, and new product) as well as specific channel services
including Music Choice and Sega. J. Miller will ask that Interactive Program Guide
subscriber numbers also be included in future reports In all, subscribership continues to
increase.
Concerning responses of inember cities to the request for feedback re�arding the Joint
Powers Agreement (JPA), the City of Lilydale provided a non-binding statement
indicating their intention to continue as a r�ember of the JPr'�. At its most recent meeting,
the City of Mendota Heights indicated it is satisfied with the performance of the Cable
Commission and generally plans to remain with the group. M. Sokol and J. Huber
(Mendota Heights citizen and city council representatives) agreed that they were jiven
direction to proceed during the Franchise renewal and system sale processes as though all
current member cities will be a part of the JPA. J. Miller stated that she will be present at
the June 23rd work session to discuss the JPA with the West St. Paul City Council, as well
as to demonstrate the new projection unit and overhead camera equipment now available
to cities. She announced that the equipment is set up in the Conference Room for those
interested in seeing it demonstrated following the Commission meeting.
At the May Executive Committee meeting, staff had been directed to follow up with
Continental staff regarding the Customer Service Standards category of answering the
telephone in less than 30 seconds which fell below acceptable levels several months in
1996 - 1997. Staff duly requested 1) an explanation of the failure in meeting these
standards and what plans were in place to avoid having the same problems in the future; 2)
a report on what, if anything, will be done for subscribers who were inconvenienced
during the outage problem in late 1996 when the system change-over took place; and 3) a
response to whether Continental has reached a financial settlement with the vendor that
was ultimately responsible for the problem that occurred with the boxes during the switch-
over. Cheryl Olmstead, Continental Customer Service Manger explained that standards
for the first quarter of 1997 would have been met or been exceeded had it not been for the
problem that occurred during the year-end switch over. F. Zeuli is still working on
resolving the matter with General Instruments, however, he is taking the approach of

facusing on campensating those subscribers with the General Instruments boxes who were
directly affected. Continental will provide coupons for a free pay-per-view movie and
dollars for Va1ue Teievision offerings ta a11 subscribers with the General Instruments
boxes during the outa�e. Chair Taurville inquired about previous discussions the
Commissian had regarding compensating a11 subscribers in some form for the
inconvenience of not being able to get through on Che telephone. C. Olmstead responded
that a decision was made to first compensate subscribers with the boxes that did not
convert properly, and wait until discussions with General Instruments are complete before
possibiy e;ctending compensation to others. In response to a question regarding how many
households had the General Instruments boxes at the time of the outage, S. Baker
responded there were approximately 7,00�. C. Olmstead assured the Commission that
changes have occuned in staffing, including addin� and training more people, that will
imprave eontinental's overall Customec Service and uitimateiy show on the quarterIy
cust��er s�rvice rv�orts.
J. Miller recommended that the full Commission meet again in July in order to approve
1998 budgets in time ta be mailed to the member cities by August 1. It was the consensus
af the group ta hotd a full Commissian meeting on July 2, and an Executive Committee
meeting Au�ust 6.
Problems concernin� Continental's ylaster Control and playback of iVDC tapes continue ta
be discussed among staff from both or�anizations. It is anticipated that items requiring
action regarding this issue will be presented at the July Commission meeting.
The Odyssey kick-of� event has been rescheduled for Friday, June 2Q at the studio. A11
Ct�rrvmzssioners are encouraged to attend.
Fallow-up cantinues on the staff planning retreat. The five active NDCTV Committees
will be meeting durin; the next two weeks.
Letters have been sent to each of the three smaller member cities requesting a list of
audia-video equipmertt they may need.
J. Ista inquired about the status of resolving prohtems with the A1phaChanne� system. 3.
ibliller replied that the vendor has been actively pursuing fixing problems experienced with
displaying priority messages in a loop and modem transmissions.
6. Legai Counsel Report - Concerning Equipment Rate ReguIation, Leaal Counsel B.
Grogan reparted that he had requested an explanation for the basis of Continental
calculating new equipment rates. A response from Robert Ryan (MediaOne, Chicaga)
stated that according to the Sacial Contract, �he FCC allows Continental ta set rates on a
state-wide or re�ion-wide basis. Forms are submitted to the FCC for their review and
approval. NDC4 has no control over regulating equipment rates.
Concerning Basic Rate Regulation, Le�al Caunsel and staf�have been tryin� ta verify
whether e,rkernal costs had been inconectly added into basic rate calculations and passed

Unapproved „
on to subscribers. It was discovered that support for PEG had been incorrectly included
and passed through as part of the Basic rate. While investiQating this matter it was
discovered that additional contributions made by Continental that are passed through to
subscribers actuallv result in reduced rates for subscribers. Resolution of the matter is
underway and it is likely rates will remain in place through 1997 B. Grogan explained
that the difference between the lower (3) percent of inflation applied to the Basic Rate and
the higher (7.5) percent applied to the external costs would result in a 6 percent difference
on monthly subscriber rates.
B Grogan reviewed procedures regarding the pending transfer of ownership with Charter
Communications. The Commission may eYpect to receive FCC Form 394 that will
identify Charter's legal, technical and financial qualifications to take over the system.
From the date of receipt of the form, NDC4 has 120 days by federal law in which to
approve the transfer. State law requires that NDC4 decide within 30 days of receipt of the
form whether to hold a public hearing regarding the matter and conduct further review or
to simply approve the transaction. If a decision is made to hold a public hearing another
30-day clock begins during which a date must be set for the hearing. NDC4 meetings may
need to be adjusted to meet these time frames although, in the past, Continental and US
West have been agreeable to �ranting time e�ctensions requested by NDC4. It is
anticipated that NDC4 will receive these forms within the ne�ct 30 days or so. B. Grogan
will prepare a transfer process outline for Commissioners to review at their next meeting.
J. Levy inquired whether the transaction between Charter and MediaOne is complete. B.
Grogan responded that this �600 vlillion transaction was only just announced and not final
and consists of Charter acquiring all of the ContinentaULTSWest/NlediaOne properties (3/4
of the Twin Cities market). M. Sokol inquired whether NDC4 needs to be concerned
about the FCC requirement that the transfer of ownership take place by August 15. B.
Grogan responded that most likely interpretation of the reading will be that the transaction
need only be in place subject to closing by that date, therefore, the Commission does not
need to rush through its review process on account of the August 15 date.
7. Continental Report - Cheryl Olmstead reported that as more information becomes
available about Charter Communications, it will be forwarded to the Commission. S.
Baker added that he is familiar with the engineering staff and style of management of this
younger company and believes this to be the best of all transfer options.
Continental will relaunch its customer on-time service guarantee during its "In The
Trenches Week" June 9- 13. On June 12 at 7 p.m. the "Ultimate Cable Guy" event will
take place in front of Continental's offices at the Union Depot. Commissioners are invited
to attend. It is an opportunity to thank employees of Continental for their efForts.
S. Baker reported that the NDC system rebuild is on target. Some multi-unit buildings are
waiting to have the upgrades done; therefore, the report will indicate the upgrade is not
100 percent complete. To date the rebuild is ahead of schedule and is anticipated to be
complete by October/November.

emplayment history which is privileged and not a part of public record. Concerning the
matter before the Commission this evening and the manner in which the report is
presented, Legal Counsel recommended conductin� the discussion off=camera. He further
added that in the future, if similar matters are canducted in an open public forum, the
Commission must be careful about the content of what is discussed
J. Miller stated that the position of Administrative Assistant is not easily defined in terrns
of salary since job duties of similarly-titled positions can vary wide�y. It is stafis
recornmendation to grant a 3 percent increase for the Administrative Assistant position
with the understanding that further increase may be requested should survey resutts justify
such a request. ll�totion 6-4-97-5 to approve a 3 percent increase for the Administrative

Commercial Wash Machine Purchase
INTRODUCTION
During the 1997 budget process $5,000 was requested for the purchase of a
commercial wash machine for the cleaning of firefighter tum out gear. This request
was subsequently approved as part of the 1997 budget process. I am formally asking
permission to proceed with the procurement and installation of the commercial wash
machine.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is background information as to the need for this equipment from our
Fire Department Safety Committee Chair, Ken Weisenburger. I concur with their
recommendation of the need to have a wash machine and have also reviewed the
proposals from three different companies on the desired washer. Bids on the wash
machine were as follows:
BDS
351b Unimac Washer/Extractor $3,875
E. Weinberg Supply Company
Enwasco Mat Selecta 351b Washer/Extractor
Darlings Sales and Service
Speed Queen 351b Washer
E Weinberg Supply Company
Enwasco Mat 351b Washer/Dryer #2
$3, 965
$4,195
$4,229
Plumbing bids were received from: Klamm Mechanical, MM Nasseff Plumbing and
Dakota Plumbing and Heating. Dakota Plumbing and Heating was the low bidder for
$770.00.
Electrical work is estimated to be $200.00. The tatai package price far instalied washer
is $5,360.00.
RECOMMENDATION.
I concur with the safety committee's recammendatian and recommend the
purchase of the wash machine with necessary instaI2ation and material to BDS Laundry
Equipment located in our own business park for a bid price of $3,875.00, plus the gre-
fabricated steel base of $1$5.00, plus the piastic holding tanic of $80.00 and installation
of $250.Q0 for a total grice of $4,385.40. The plumbing connection should be awarded
to I7akota Plumbing and Heating for a bid price of $770.OQ to provide the necessary
drainage and water supply.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Cauncii should pass a mation authorizing staff ta enter into a purchase
agreements with BL1S and Dakata Plumbing and Heating.
cc: Safety Committee
' _ � � ' • • i�Si A
Proposal fo� Mendota Heights Ciiy Council
Facts:
Safety is held in the highest regard at the Mendota Heights Fire Department. We
take whatever actions necessary to ensure the safety of all families, businesses, and
properties within our area of protection. Quite often these actions put personnel in
obviously dangerous situations, but sometimes the dangers are more subtle. It is for
this reason that this proposal is being written.
Recently, our department has been receiving more and more information about
the dangers of dirty turnout gear. Turnout gear is the protective garment worn by
firefighters to shield them from harmful heat, chemicals and gases while perfo�ming
their work. As you woulci expect this gear gets contaminated during these activities.
In the past it has been considered among firefighters as a" badge of courage" to have a
bunker coat soiled to the point of being black. Today, with safety being the primary
-consideration, it is crucial that we remove the potential of injury in every possible
phase of firefighting. By allowing emergency response personnel to wear protective
clothing that is heavily contaminated, we are continually exposing them to harmful and
possibly carcinogenic substances.
Dirty turnout gear is dangerous. Hydrocarbons produced during a fire can carry
90%.of the toxins and carcinogens and deposit them directly into the turnout gear. Not
only is there a danger of absorbing lethal toxins through the skin, the deposits of
hydrocarbons reduce the effectiveness of the tumout gear. Soot encrusted gear absorbs
more heat due to reduced reflectivity. Oil, grease, and hydrocarbons can reach their
ignition temperatures and burst into flames. Hydrocarbons also conduct electricity,
making it dangerous to enter a building to perform firefighting activities if the power
has not been de-energized.
Hosing off turnout gear after returning to the fire station only removes
superficial soot and contaminants. Using a brush on the gear not only doesn't clean the
gear, it actually can help embed the contaminants further into the fibers. Machine
washing is recommended by all the manufiacturers contacted and is the preferred method
recognized by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). Laundering at home or in
public laundromats is,in violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA). Carcinogenic residues may be left in the washing cylinder after washing. That
allows the potential of others having their clothing contaminated. For that reason, use of
home or public laundering facilities for laundering turnout gear has been forbidden.
The Mendota Heights Fire Department currently owns a top-loading 16 gallon,
residential grade washing machine. Although fine in it's day, the more spacious front-
loading machines are now recommended. They have several wash cycles interspersed
with six to eight rinse cycles. They also use an extraction system to pull dirt and
contaminants out of the cloth. This process makes much more sense and should give the
firefighter the best chance of not becoming contaminated from the gear the next time
they put it on. We have gathered several bids from various suppliers and with
alterations needed to plumb and wire the machine in the fire station, it appears we will
need approxiamately $5000.00 to accomplish this. The safety committee feels that this
is a very important investment in the lives of the firefighters as well as taking care of
the new gear currently being purchsed by the department. When all said and done the
department will have spent roughly $25,000.00 on new turnout gear. This investment
needs to be cared for to extend the working life of the gea� thus increasing the years of
service of the gear. Our primary concern however, is the safety of all the firefighters.
Our facts and figures are enclosed . Thank you for your consideration.

Dear John,
As you lmow , the safety committee has been working hard in researching the purchase of a new
washing machine for the department. Because of this research it is with confidence that we would like to
make the following recommendations to you for your consideration.
Purchase: 1 Model UC35PN2 Unimac Washer/Extractor $3,875.00
12-Cycle Microprocessor Controls
208-240/60/3 - 3 Wire Electrical Hookup
1 Prefabricated Steel Base for above machine $185.00
1 Plastic Holding Tank 31x 14 3/4 x 12 $80.00
1 Installation which includes: set, level, and $250.00
anchor washer in place for final service
connections by others, start-up and check out
by company engineer.
1 Plumbing contractor work $770.00
Electrical coniractor work �200.00
Total $5360.00
This proposed machine is being sold to us from a local business BDS Laundry Equipment Company at
2430 Enterprise Drive. It is my understanding that they have reduced their normal price to us because
we are the local fire departinent and because they would like to see us purchase a goad quality machine.
Additionally, after speaking with representatives from Ecolab, they have agreed to donate to the fire
department, their automatic soap dispenser machine which mounts to the above washer. This is a
great system to make sure firefighters using the machine use the correct amount of detergents and protect
the useful life of the turnout gear being washed. Soap products will be purchased through Ecolab.
Attached are the others bids and specification sheets from other businesses solicited for your convenience.
Respectfully,

SLTBJECT: Purchase of Computer Equipment
INTRODUCTION:
During the 1997 budget process $3,500 was budgeted and subsequently
agproved for the replacement ane of the computer at the Fire Station.
DiSCUSSION.
The existing computer equipment at the Fire Station is mare than 10 years old
and has been desperate need of upgrading. The cunent camputer industry and
marketing is very aggressive and saies on models change very rapidiy. I would like to
request that the Fire Department he authorized to purchase a new computer with
necessary data backup groviszons for an amaunt not to exceed the budgeted amount of
$3,500. This would then provide flexibility to obtain the best piece of equipment for
the most economical price.
RECOl�ZMENDATION:
I recommend that the Council authorize the purchase of computer and necessary
backup equipment for the Fire Station in an amaunt not to exceed $3,SQ4 budget.
ACTION REt�UIRED•
The Council should gass a motian autt�orizing the purchase af the computer
equipment.

SUBJECT: Appraisal of Tom Thumb
DISCUSSION:
The Tom Thumb Store has refused to grant the City a trail easement for their property
along Dodd Road (see attached letter). Lack of this easement is causing the City to have to end
this summer's trail construction at the Oasis Market. Because of Tom Thumb's refusal to
grant the needed easement, Council authorized the City Attorney to proceed with a
condemnation action to acquire it. A hearing date for considering the City's action has been
tentatively established for the end of July. The City needs to acquire an appraisal of the
easement for the condemnation commissioner's to review.
��-�K� U lU 1 ►11 : • ►
I recommend that Mr. Blake Davis be authorized to prepare an appraisal of the Tom
Thumb trail easement.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to implement the recommendation they need to authorize Mr. Blake
Davis to prepare the needed appraisal of the Tom Thumb trail easement. All costs for the
appraisal will be charged to TIF which is funding the trail project along Dodd Road.

SUBJECT: Tax Increment District Reporting
DISCUSSION
Recent changes in the Tax Increment laws have resulted in some major
changes in the manner in which we report District finances to the State. These
requirements seem to change each year and are difficult to keep up with.
We recently had Mr. Walt Hartman, of Municipal Economic Development
Network, Inc., assist in a spending plan amendment. Mr. Hartman is well versed in
the intricacy of Tax Increment Districts and would be of great help to us as we
proceed with our amended spending plan and the annual reporting.
ACTION REQUIRED
Approve the use of Municipal Economic Development Network, Inc. as per
their letter. Funding will come from District revenues.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
ANNUAL REPORTS
...............................................................................................................................................................�-�--..................................................................................
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 5,6, and 6(a), Annual Reporting Forms
are due on July 1 of each year for the Tax Increment Financing Districts. And pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subd. 5, Authorities must publish data on tax increment
districts annually in the newspaper based upon the information submitted to the State Auditor. In
addition to the State Auditor, the completed forms must also be submitted to the County Auditor,
the School Boards, and the County Board.
We propose to assist your and your staff to prepare the Annual Reports, newspaper notice and
submittals. The scope of work will include:
• Review and summazize all TIF District Financing Plans.
• Review and summarize all Development Agreements
� Review of all historic expenditures and revenues for each district.
• Establish TIF District budgets, from the Financing Plans, that conespond to the Annual
Reporting Forms format.
• Categorize all Expenditures and Revenues to date from the Books to correspond to the
Annual Reporting Forms format.
• Document all funds transfers in and out of, and between districts.
• Document all land purchases and sales.
• Document all developer Costs incurred to date.
� Document all tax increments paid to other governmental units
• Document all `in-kind' benefits that were financed with tax increment revenues.
• Document any pooling authorizations and pooled debt.
� Document any bond issues and payment schedules.
7731 West 22nd Street Minneapolis, MN 55426 812 - 544 - 3717
• Document any Developer Agreements and payment schedules.
• Document TIF funds expenditures "within" and "outside" of each district.
• Document `common' funds for tax increments
• Review the County Documents for Original, Current, and Captured tax capacities for each
district, for each year since the establishment of the District.
• Compare estimated `earned' increments with payments received from the County to catch
any delinquent taxes or errors in the County payments.
• Review of Fund Balances and escrow accounts for debt reserves.
• Review Fiscal Disparities data
• With the information above, complete the Annual Reporting Forms.
• Prepare the newspaper notice for publication.
• Submittals to the State Auditor, County Auditors, School Districts, and County Boards.
COMPENSATION:
Hourly: $ 50.00 per hour. Travel time at $15.00 per hour.
BUDGET:
Some very simple districts that are young, can be done $250 to $500 dollars. Some annual
reporting that we have done ran about $2,500 when the city had several districts and we had to
spend a lot of time reseazching and reconstructing the data.
We can work with your staff to have them assist as much as possible in the research and data
review. Then once we get the records in order, matching the State Auditor Reporting Forms
`format', and a system setup for them to follow, staff will have a much easier time of it in the
following years.
SCHEDULE:
We will need to file for an extension with State Auditor, as the July 1 deadline is not reachable.
This has not been a problem in the past. The extension also applies to the publication deadline.
We could due the work in early July, and would probably take a couple of weeks to complete.
Thank you for this opportunity to submit this proposal. We look forward to working with you
and your staff on this project.

DISCUSSION
�
.
� We have received a request from the Minnesota Police Recruitment System (MPRS) to
participate in their Cooperative Program for afFirmative action activities required of defendant
cities in the Starks and Fields lawsuit. (Please see attached letter and resolution.)
Mendota Heights is no longer a member of the MPRS and has since submitted all
required hiring and affirmative action plans to the Court, in compliance with all court orders.
Mendota Heights has also retained legal services from Mr. Kevin Rupp, of Ratwick, Roszak
and Maloney, P.A., to represent us in complying with the court's order and in assisting us as a
participant in the appeal being handled by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.
In November, on the first anniversary of the court order, Mendota Heights will have to
submit a report to the court on our compliance with our approved hiring and affirmative action
plan. This report has been anticipated by the Police Department and will be properly
submitted. -
For these reasons, I would recommend that Mendota Heights decline the offer by t�e
MPRS to join their cooperative program.
ACTION REOUIRED
If the City Council so desires, they should pass a motion to�d�the offer to join the
cooperative affirmative action program of MPRS. ��e.c,'{"

Quite frankly, a second purpose of this memorandum is to provide your community
one more chance to participate in the Cooperative Program. Our records indicate
that your community has � adopted the resolution necessary for participation in
this Program.
The Cooperative Affirmative Action Program is well underway. A draft of an
Affirmative Action Compliance Handbook implementing this Program has been
prepared by our attorney, Charlie LeFevere. A meeting to finalize this Handbook
and to further discuss the proposed Program has been scheduled for 7uly l lth.
(Attendance at this meeting is restricted to those communities which are participants
in the Program.)
If your community � interested in joining the Cooperative Affirmative Action
Program, your City Council must adopt the enclosed Resolution. Also enclosed are
the Terms and Conditions for participation in this Program. If we do nc� hear from
you by July l lth, we will assume that your community is proceeding independently
in this matter and that you will be submitting a separate affirmative action report to
the Court.

SUBJECT: Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP)
At the February 18, 1997 City Council meeting, Council granted the Fire Department's
request and authorized participation with the City of Eagan to install EVP equipment on the
traffic signals on Dodd Road and I-494 and Pilot Knob Road and I-494
(see attached memo). Bids for the project have now been opened and they are 33 % under the
engineer's estimate. This means Mendota Heights' share of the costs should be less than
originally estimated.
This project is being done with MnDOT's participation through a Cooperative
Agreement. A copy of that agreement will be attached on Friday if it arrives in time, or will
be handed out as an add on to the agenda, the night of the meeting. The agreement will
address Mendota Heights' payment for it's share of the construction, and for any ongoing
maintenance costs. The City of Eagan is anxious to begin with the project and is hopeful that
we will be able to approve the agreement tonight so that construction of the project can begin
in July.
All of Mendota Heights' construction costs for this project are to be paid for by
Municipal State Aid (MSA).
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that Mendota Heights enter into a Cooperative Agreement with MnDOT
to allow for installation of EVP equipment at the Dodd Road and I-494 ramp and at the Pilot
Knob Road and I-494 ramps.

Ei1"P is equipment that is installed on trafFic si;nals that, when activate�l, will averride

a safety feature for emergency response vehicles. EVP is ne;r.3e�l on the si�nals at I-494 to

MnDOT participates with Cities in new Et�'P installations on a contributing leg basis, if

SUBJECT: Promotion to Sergeant
I am requesting that the Council approve the probationary appointment of Officer
Jeff Piotraschke to the position of Sergeant effective July 1, 1997.
We have completed our testing process and I have reviewed the results of the
written and oral examinations and have conferred with members of my staff and
department, as well as all four of the candidates. Based on that input I am
recommending that Jeff Piotraschke be appointed to the Sergeants position
authorized by Council. Piotraschke has been a member of this department for 11
yeazs and previously served as a police officer in Spring Lake Park for four years.
The new supervisor will serve a one year probation at the salary indicated in the
City Pay Matrix for Grade XXVI, Level C($48,144).
I am very pleased at the desire and commitment shown by all four candidates. They
worked hard to prepaze for the examination process and did an excellent job
throughout. The support they demonstrated for each other was particularly
encouraging.

Wetlands Permit
MFR.A # 11371
Philip E. Dalseth
664 Maple Park Drive
R-1, Single Family Residential
Low Density Residential
Description of Request
The Dalseth's have requested approval of a wetlands permit to build a porch and deck on their
home. The home backs up to a ravine that is delineated as a wetland on the City's Wetland
Systems Map.
Background Information
Wetlands Permits are required to maintain the natural drainage system, minimize earthwork
disturbance, minimize loss of wildlife and vegetation and to protect water quality. Any
excavation within 100 feet of the water body or wetland requires a permit.
The Dalseth's would like to add a covered porch and open deck on the back of their home. Their
home is adjacent to the uppermost portion of a ravine. The ravine is wooded and is
approximately 8 feet at its deepest behind their house. It is a drainageway for two (2), catch
basins, and is considered a minor drainageway. The ravine is virtually dry except during rain
events; most of the water in the azea drains to another drainageway south of Dalseth's property.

City of Mendota Heights Planning Commission
Dalseth Wetlands Permit
June 24,1997
Page 2
Because it is identified on the City's Wetlands Systems Maps, however, a Wetlands Permit is
required.
A portion of the deck will extend approximately 3 and 1/2 feet into the slope of the ravine, and
be approximately 2-3 feet above ground. The remaining portion of the new construction will be
located in an azea that is flat and open. The construction is planned so that no trees or vegetation
will be disturbed. The existing grades will not be altered, so drainage in the area will not be
impacted but continue to function as it now does during rain events.
The porch and deck are proposed to be constructed in such a way so as not to impact any existing
vegetation or slopes. They will be built primazily on the level, patio area that exists now. Since
the ravine azea is nearly always dry, there should not be any impacts on wetland resources.
The neighbors on both sides of the Dalseths should not be impacted by this construction and
have signed the waiver of public hearing form.
Action Requested:
The Planning Commission can recommend:
(1) approval
(2) approval with conditions
(3) denial, with findings
Staff'Recommendation:
The City Planner recommends the Wetlands Permit be issued for 664 Maple Park Drive, as there
will not aze not any impacts on the ravine area adjacent to this home, with the following
conditions:
1. The Wetlands Permit be issued with the Building Permit.
2. The work cornmences within 90 days of the permit being issued and be completed
within 12 months of issuance.
MATERIALS
REVIEWED: 1. Application for consideration of a Planning Request, signed and dated
May 30, 1997.
2. Letter of Intent from Philip and Gayle Dalseth, dated May 30, 1997.
3. Signatures of Consent to waiver the Public Hearing.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
June 25, 1997
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Admin�stf�tor
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Planning Case #97-14: Lou Schaefer, 1669 Lilac Lane
Subdivision (Lot Reconfiguration)
Discussion
Mr. Schaefer appeared before the Planning Commission at their regulazly scheduled
meeting on June 24, 1997 to discuss his plans to adjust the lot line between himself and
his immediate neighbor to the south, Mr. Jack Schribman. The proposed reconfiguration
would consist of Mr. Schaefer's lot acquiring approximate�y 1440 square feet from the
neighboring lot. After reconfiguration, Mr. Schaefer would like to build a fence directly
on the new property line to enclose the entire back yard for a swimming pool.
During the Planning Commission discussion of this application, Commissioner Tilsen
noted that part of Lilac Lane actually traverses one corner of Mr. Schaefer's lot.
Commissioner Tilsen felt that the City should request that Mr. Schaefer donate roughly 5'
from the curb to the City to rectify the situation.
Please see the attached items of public record pertaining to this application. Mr. Lou
Schaefer will be present at the July 1, 1997 meeting of the City Council to discuss this
proposal.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 (with Commissioners Betlej and Koll absent) to
recommend that the City Council approve of this lot reconfiguration and request that Mr.
Schaefer donate an appropriate portion of the front of his lot to the City for street right-of-
way, but not make said donation a condition of the approval.
Action Required
Discuss the proposed lot reconfiguration with Mr. Schaefer. If the Council approves of
Mr. Schaefer's plans, the Council may adopt the attached Resolution 97-_: A
RESOLUTION GRANTING AN APPROVAL TO RECONFIGURE THE LOT LINE
BETWEEN 1669 LILAC LANE AND 1675 LILAC LANE, making any revisions to the
Resolution the Council deems necessary.
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS

of his neighbor, Jack Schribman's praperty (Parcel B, Lot 23), and requests City approval of the
revised lot configurations as shown on the attached survey.

Staff determined that adjusting a lot line between two property owners could be accomplished by
filing a Certificate of Survey, under the Subdivision Ordinance, section 11.3 "Exceptions" as
follows:
11.3 EXCEPTIONS
When requesting a subdivision, if either of the hvo following conditions exist, the City
Administrator shall bring the request to the attention of the Planning Commission
whereupon, they shall review said request and exempt the subdivider from complying
with any inappropriate requirements of this Ordinance.
11.3 (2) ... if a lot which is part of a plat recorded in the o�ce of the Register of Deeds
of Dakota County is to be divided and such division will not cause any structure on the
lot to be in violation of the zoning ordinance or said new portions of lots to be in
violation of Ciry Ordinance.
A Certificate of Survey has been submitted showing the lot line adjustment. The lot line between
the homes would continue to begin at the same point at the street, and angle south 21 feet in the
rear, resulting in a triangle of land of 1,440 square feet to be attached to Schaefer's lot (Lot 24).
Parcel B, (Schribman's lot, Lot 23) is currently under the 15,000 square foot minimum lot size at
approximately 14,364 squaze feet. As proposed, Pazcel B would be reduced to 12,924 square feet
in size. This lot line adjustment will not change the zoning status of Lot 23, as it is already non-
conforming. This reconfiguration will not cause Lot 23 to be in violation of the Ordinance,
however this proposal does reduce its size. Remaining on Parcel B would be some land available
to the north, should the Schribman's or any future owners wish to expand. Toward the front part
of the house, they could add on up to 10 feet in width, widening out to 25 feet in the rear.
Action Requested:
The Planning Commission can recommend:
(1) approval
(2) approval with conditions
(3) denial
Sta�;f Recommendation:
While Parcel B is a non-conforming lot at this time, this reconfiguration does not change that
status. There is adequate space remaining on the north side of Lot 23 for further expansion. The
City Planner recommends this Lot Line Adjustment by Certificate of Survey be approved for
filing at the County.

Dear Madam/Sir:
We are submitting this Letter of Intent in order to complete lot reconfiguration
between Lots 23 and 24, Block 1, Tilsen's Highland Heights Plat 2.
The proposed reconfiguration would consist of Lot 24 acquiring approximately
1440 square feet from Lot 23. The purpose of acquiring this property is to square
off Lot 24. Once Lot 24 is square, our plans are to build a fence directly on the new
property line. This fence would enclose the entire backyard, which includes a
swimming pool.
We currently have a fence which encloses only the pool and a concrete patio. Lot
reconfiguration would allow us to expand our back yard and give our newly
adopted Greyhound ample space for exercise.
Lot 23 and Lot 24 currently do not conform with City of Mendota Heights R-1
requirements. The proposed lot reconfiguration would allow Lot 24 to conform
with current requirements. Lot 23 would remain non-conforming, however, the
proposed reconfiguration would in no way affect the current use/purpose of the lot.
We hope the information provided is sufficient and will allow us to move ahead
with our lot reconfiguration. Thank you for considering our request.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Lou Schaefer

MEMO
June 11, 1997
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Tom Lentz, 2236 Apache Street
Front Yard Setback Variance
Discussion
Mr. Lentz appeared before the Planning Commission at their regularly scheduled meeting
on June 24, 1997 to discuss his plans to expand his garage from a two-car garage to a
three-car garage. To accomplish this Mr. Lentz would need a 5' front yard setback
variance per Section 7.4(3) of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Lentz provided signatures of
approval from all property owners within 100 feet of his property, and thus the Planning
Commission was able to waive the public hearing. The City Council has previously
adopted a policy allowing for front yard setback variances within Friendly Hills.
Please see the attached items of public record. Mr. Lentz will be present at the July 1,
1997 meeting of the City Council to discuss his variance request and to answer any
questions the Council may have.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission, at their regular meeting on June 24, 1997, voted 5-0 (with
Commissioners Betlej and Koll absent) to recommend that the City Council grant the
front-yard setback variance to Mr. Lentz for a garage addition. (Note: Mr. Lentz had also
asked for an extra 1' in the variance approval for margin of error in measuring and
construction. The Planning Commission found this to be reasonable and thus the
attached resolution is for a 6' variance.)
Action Required
Discuss the proposed garage addition with Mr. Lentz. If the Council agrees with the
Planning Commission's recommendation, the Council may adopt the attached
RESOLUTION 97- : A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FRONT-YARD SETBACK
VARIANCE FOR 2236 APACHE STREET FOR A GAR.AGE ADDITION, making any
revisions to the Resolution the Council deems necessary.

Frant Yard Setback Variance
MFRA # 11371
Thomas Harland Lentz
2236 Apache Street, Friendly Hills
R-1, Single Family Residential
Low Density Residential
Descri,�tion o�Rec�uest
Mr. Lentz is requesting a 5' front yard setback variance to add an to the front of his home by
extending his garage forward 6 feet, to be 25' versus 3Q' fram the front pragerty line.
Bcrckground Informatr'on
Mr. Lentz would like ta expand his garage and home west and north for an additional garage and
a family raam. The existing and new garage as propased would be 25' fram the front property
line and the new family room would be 29' - 30' feet from the front property line.
The Lentz home is located in the Friendly Hills area where the lots are smaller than standard R-1
lots. The variance has been requested ta allow additiana� depth to the existing garages while
adding a third garage, yet having the frant of the garage doors even with each other. The third
garage must be huilt forward af the eYisting garages because of the existing interiar hozne space
(doors and stairways). It appears a second story will be added as well (as shown on the attached
drawings) and a new roof will be eonstructed.

* City af 1Vlendota Heights Planning Commissian
Lentz Front Yard Setback Variance
'` June 2�i, 1997
Page 2
In 1979 the City Council established a variance policy to limit consideration of front yard
setbacks ta variances of 10 feet or less (attached).
Variance Criteria
The variance criteria is outlined in the Zoning C?rdinance, and includes: (1) special conditions
apply ta the structure or land in question are peculiar to the property and da not apply generally
to ather land ar structures in the district; (2} variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of property; (3) adequate supply of light and air will be available to adjacent property;
{4} the cangestian of public street wi11 nat be reasonably increased; {5) the danger of fire or
public safety will not be increased; (6) property values will not be impaired in the surraunding
area; {�} health, safety, comfort and mora�s wi11 nat be impaired; {8} variance wi11 not mereiy
serve as a c4nvenience, but is necessary ta alleviate undue hardship or difficulty.
Evalcration o�.�uest
Expanding the garage and home as requested wiil nat impact public safety,limit the supply of
light and air available ta adjacent properties, have any effect on the congestian ofpublic streets,
impact property values ar impair heaith, safety, comfort or morals of the community or
surrounding neighborhoad.
This property is similar to others in the Friendly Hills azea that have smaller lots making it
difficult to expand. There are not, however, any special conditions that distinguish it from other
properties or build'zngs that are Iocated in the neighborhood. A hardship, or unique characteristic
af the land is the standard generally used in considering variances.
Action Requester�;
The Planning Commission can recommend:
{ 1 } approval
(2) approval with conditions
{3} denial
SF�r ff Recammetirlatir�n:
Variances for additions in the Friendly Hills area have been granted to allow expansions, because
the size of the lots restrict any expansior� pians. The propased improvements to the home appear
reasonable and suited to the site. The variance may be appropriate in that there are no impacts to
the general health, safety and welfare of the cammunity, and the surrounding neighbors have
signed the Signature of Consent form.

Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Dear City Council and Planning Commission Members:
1 would like to ask your cansideration #or a variance of City Qrdinance Number
4Q1, Section 7.4 (3).
I am planning to construct an addition to the front of my residence at 2236
Apache Street, Mendota Heights. The city ordinance requires a 30-foot set back
from the front property right of way. The addition I have designed requires a 25-
foat set back. The addition includes expanding the 3ength of the existing double
garage by 6 feet, adding a single car garage and a family room as shown in
attached plans.
I have aiso attached approval signatures from a(I awners within 100 feet ofi my
property.
It is my understanding that because of the hardship of the small lot sizes,
variances af 20-feet have been approved.
Sincerely,
Thomas H. Lentz

TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Adminis a`tor
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Planning Case #97-17: MH United Church of Christ, 680 Highway 110
Lot Reconfiguration
Discussion
Mr. Carl Baumeister of Mendota Heights United Church of Christ appeared before the
Planning Commission at their regularly scheduled meeting on June 24, 1997 to discuss
the Church's plans to transfer ownership of 1.97 acres of land to Dodge Nature Center.
The proposed azea of transfer is essentially the south 200 feet of the Church's property.
Dodge Nature Center already owns the property on three sides of the Church's lot.
During the Planning Commission discussion of this application, Chairman Dwyer asked
if this transfer of land would precipitate any physical changes to either property. Mr.
Baumeister replied that a fence may be removed, but that to his knowledge no other
changes were planned by either the Church or the Nature Center in conjunction with this
land transfer.
Please see the attached items of public record pertaining to this application. Mr.
Baumeister will be present at the July 1, 1997 meeting of the City Council to discuss his
proposed land transfer and to answer any questions the Council may have.
Recommendation
On June 24, 1997, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 (with Commissioners Betlej and
Koll absent) to recommend that the City Council approve this lot reconfiguration on the
condition that Dodge Nature Center incorporate the donated parcel into the adjacent
existing property to prevent the creation of an isolated parcel with no street access.
Action Required
Discuss the proposed lot reconfiguration with Mr. Baumeister. If the Council wishes to
adopt the Planning Commission's recommendation, the Council may adopt the attached
RESOLUTION 97-_: A RESOLUTION GR.ANTING A LOT DIVISION APPROVAL

Mendata Heights United Church of Christ is requesting approval of a Lot Reconfiguration by a
Certificate of Survey as it wishes ta transfer 1.79 acres of land to the Dodge Nature Center.

The Church proposes that the southem 200 feet of its property will become part of the Dodge
Nature Center's land. The common iot iine between the two properties will be adjusted and there
will nat be any visible change to the properties.
Staff inet with the applicant on June 2, 1997, and determined that adjusting a lot line between
two properiy owners could be accompIished by filing a Certificate of Survey with Dakata
Caunty, under the Subdivision Ordinance, Sectzan 11.3 "Exceptions" as follaws:
An EquaE Opportunity Emptoyer

11.3 EXCEPTIONS
When requesting a subdivision, rf either of the tu�o following conditions exist, the City
Administrator shall bring the request to the attention of the Planning Commission
whereupon, they shall review said request and exempt the subdivider from complying
with any inappropriate requirements of this Ordinance.
11.3 (2) Such division results in parcels having an area offive (S) acres or more with
frontage on a public right-of-way measuring three hundred (300) feet or more and when
such division does not necessitate the dedication of a public right-of-way; ...and such
division will not cause any structure on the lot to be in violation of the zoning ordinance
or said new portions of lots to be in violation of City Ordinance.
The exceptions to the ordinance were written for this type of lot reconfiguration; no dedication is
required and the Church will continue to meet all of the zoning requirements, including the rear
setback requirement of 30 feet or 20% of the average lot depth. United Church of Christ will
have slightly less than five (5) acres (4.951 acres) remaining, and will have more than 300 feet of
lot frontage on Highway #110.
A Certificate of Survey of the Church property has been submitted to show the adjusted lot
boundaries. Legal descriptions of the new property lines are attached. The Survey needs to be
filed with the County to accomplish the transfer.
Action Reyuested:
The Planning Commission can recommend:
(1) approval
(2) approval with conditions
(3) denial
Staff Recommendation:
The City Planner recomrnends this Lot Reconfiguration by Certificate of Survey be approved for
filing at the County, as it meets the requirements and intent of the Subdivision Ordinance.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
June 25, 1997
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Adminis�a��r�
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Invitation to the Planning Commission's Cellular/PCS Workshop
on Tuesday, July 22, 1997.
Discussion
The Planning Commission has scheduled a Workshop on the draft Cellular/PCS
Ordinance for Tuesday, July 22, 1997 and has invited the City Council to attend.
Background
At the Joint City CounciUPlanning Commission Cellular-PCS Workshop on April 19,
1997 the Council directed Staff to present the draft Ordinance to the Planning
Commission for review before proceeding to the Council. At the May 27, 1997 meeting
of the Planning Commission, the Commission discussed the draft Cellular/PCS
Ordinance and made comments for revision. The City Council then reviewed the draft
Cellular Ordinance at their regular meeting on June 3, 1997. At the same meeting the
City Council instructed Staff to solicit input from the PCS/Cellulaz industry for the June
24, 1997 meeting of the Planning Commission.
At the Planning Commission's regular meeting on June 24, 1997 the Commission held an
informal discussion of the draft ordinance with three representatives of the industry.
After the discussion, the Planning Commission decided to change the date of their next
meeting from July 22, 1997 to July 29, 1997 and to hold a Workshop on July 22, 1997 to
revise the draft Cellular/PCS Ordinance in light of the written responses received from
the Cellular/PCS industry to date. The Planning Commission feels that another Joint
Workshop with the Council would be the best way to resolve some of these difficult
issues, and thus hopes that the City Council will attend the Workshop as well. The
Planning Commission then envisions a formal Public Hearing on the draft ordinance for
the August 26, 1997 meeting of the Planning Commission and adoption of the new
ordinance at the September 2, 1997 meeting of the City Council.
Action Required
If the Council wishes to accept the Planning Commission's invitation to the Workshop on
July 22, 1997, the Council should adjourn their meeting on July 15, 1997 to the evening ,
of July 22, 1997.
