IVY HILLS PARK Council acknowledged a memo from Pazks Project Manager
Kullander regarding selection of a landscape architect for Ivy Hills
Paxk improvements.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern that the fees are based on the
initial cost estimate of $20,000 and stated that Council should have
some element of control. He suggested that Council authorize hiring
the firm recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission,

Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. William Knaus, representing the Multipartisan Coalition was
present to ask if Council has taken any action to oppose the
proposed Orfield legislation.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council has taken no action to
date but is aware that the proposed legislation would involve fiscal
disparities on residential property and that Mendota. Heights would
be significantly impacted. He stated that the Governor vetoed the
Orfield bill last year and has indicated he will veto the proposed bill.
He further stated that the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities
and League of Minnesota Cities will undoubtedly send to cities a
sample resolution to oppose the bill.
Mr. Tom Smith stated that he was present for the meeting in the
hope that the committee supporting the school district bond
referendum were going to appeaz and make comments on the
referendum.
Administrator La.well responded that about a month ago a member
of the school board had inquired about appearing before Council but
he had been notified by the Superintendent of Schools last week that
Mendota Heights was not scheduled for a presentation.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Smith and the audience that there
will be programming on the local cable television channel on
February 27 which will give residents to call in and ask questions
and voice their concerns about the referendum.
PROCLAMATION Mayor Mertensotto read a proposed proclamation to name the week
� of Apri123-29 as Minnesota Volunteer Recognition Week.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to adopt a"PROCLAMATION

CASE NO. 94-35, SIGNART
(DR. LEE) VARIANCE
�
Page No. 4298
February 21, 1995
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.
Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant Batchelder
regarding Dr. Bazbara Lee's application for a variance from the sign
setback requirement at 780 South Plaza Drive. Council also
acknowledged an excerpt from the January Planning Commission
minutes and staff reports.
Mayor Mertensotto noted that Dr. Lee continues to propose to place
the sign on the lot line, so she is appazently saying that if Council
adopts the Planning Commission recommendation regarding sign
size and placement at a 10 foot setback from the property line the
adoption would be meaningless.
Dr. Lee responded that she does not know that she would install the
sign where the Planning Commission recommended because she
cannot invest a few thousand dollars and not have the sign be
visible. She sta.ted that she would have to consider other options of
having the sign at the 30 foot setback or not having a sign.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the problem is that there aze
mature trees that extend out into the boulevazd and that possibly the
only solution to have the sign seen from Dodd would be to remove
one of the trees. He explained that while he realizes that Dr. Lee has
stated that the bank has two signs at the zero setback, variances were
granted to the bank because originally oriented for the future
realignment of Dodd Road which did not occur.
Dr. Lee responded that she is leasing the property and cannot
remove trees. She felt that the sign at the zero setback would be
uniform with the bank signs. She stated that if the sign were located
anywhere else it would not be visible from Dodd Road.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that it would not be realistic to
expect the sign to be seen from Dodd Road.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the Planning Commission puts
considerable effort and study into its recommendations and Council
rarely overturns its recommendations. He stated that Dr. Lee can
work with city sta.ff to see if there might be an altemate location, not
in the boulevard, if she so desires.
Page No. 4299
February 21, 1995
Assistant Batchelder informed Couricil that City Planner Uban
visited the site in November and suggested that placing the sign ten
feet from the property line would be appropriate.
Mayor Mertensotto continued discussion on the matter to allow Dr.
Lee to work with city staff if she wishes.
CASE NO. 94-40, Council aclaiowledged staff reports and other communications
BJORKLLJND relative to continued discussion on the application from Bjorklund
Development Company for subdivision of the Swanson property
located at the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue and Orchazd
Place.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that discussion on the
application had been continued from February 7 in order to allow
Dr. & Mrs. James Olin to retain a planner to review the Bjorklund
plan with respect to the Olin properly and how it might fit with
future planning for the Olins.
Mr. Jeff McDonald, representing the Olins, explained that he was
retained to develop a concept for how their property might someday
develop. He reviewed drawings of potential development, showing
possible development of the Olin property and how he sees the
property to the east developing. He stated that he believes the plan
he suggests for the properties to the east is a better plan, stating that
by using a through street the 10% grade which would be required to
link up the Bjorklund cul-de-sacs would be eliminated. He felt that
the plan provides better access for emergency vehicles and allows
for better development of land to the south. He stated that Lot 2 on
the sketch reviewed by Mr. Bjorklund at the last meeting would be
more desirable (on his sketch) and all of the double frontage lots
have been eliminated. He explained that the plan allows access to
the Olin, Bjorklund and Rolf properties, and he felt that a through
street with a 4% grade is a better answer for the property and allows
for the Olin land to be better and more fully developed. He stated
that the plan affects the Bjorklund pazcel because the Olins would be
asking the Bjorklunds for a roadway easement. He further stated that
the Olins are not suggesting that a road go through now but rather
that the easement be created to allow the city the flexibility for a
through street in the future. He explained that the easement is on the
Rolf property as well as the Bjorklund land but the Olins are not
asking anything from the Rolfs at this time - that discussion could
occur when someone wants to develop.
Page No. 4300
February 21, 1995
Councilmember Krebsbach asked why Mr. Bjorklund would be
asked for an easement now if the Rolfs are not being asked to grant
an easement at this time.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the Rolfs are not platting now
and their property is not being developed at this time. He sta.ted that
the Bjorklund property can be developed as shown on Mr.
McDonald's drawing if the Olin development plan never takes place
but the city has a 500 foot limit on cul-de-sacs and the roadway
easement would be for the purpose of getting access to the 900 foot
Olin cul-de-sac. He explained that Mr. McDonald is suggesting that
Council require the developer of the Swanson property to bring the
easement to the property line - other than that, the Olin properiy is
not before Council other than from a planning standpoint.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she wants it to be clear that
Council is maldng no commitment to the lot sizes shown on the Olin
drawing.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the drawing is just a future
planning concept and was prepared to show in concept how the
through street works for future planning.
Mr. Dave Bjorklund stated that three of four of the property owners
prefer his design - the Olins are discussing what they feel would be
their best design.
Mr. Stephan Rolf and Mrs. Isabel Rolf, were present for the
discussion. Mr. Rolf sta.ted that they have not seen the Olin plan but
in genera.l they oppose a through street because it is uncomfortably
close to their house and there axe some significant trees on the
property line. He stated that they would need more time to think
about it but will keep an open mind.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the Bjorklund plan could still be
done but the Olin's planner is suggesting that the easement be
acquired now to provide for a through street to the Olin cul-de-sac in
the future.
Mr. Rolf asked if the Illetschko property can be served, and Mr.
McDonald responded that the property could be developed as a flag
lot with access to the Olin cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked Mr. Rolf which plan he prefers.
Page No. 4301
February 21, 1995
Mr. Rolf responded that he prefers the Bjorklund Plan E because he
generally opposed the through street plan but he will try to keep and
open mind.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Mr. Bjorklund is asking to plat a
configuration which requires a right-of-way dedication from Mrs.
Rolf.
Mr. Rolf responded that they have not completed negotiations with
Mr. Bjorklund yet.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council needs to know whether the
Rolfs are going to grant the right-of-way and cannot approve a plat
unless right-of-way is assured. He pointed out that Council does not
want to condemn the right-of-way.
Mr. Rolf responded that he would like more time to consider both
the Bjorklund and the Olin proposed plans.
Mr. Bjorklund stated that after meeting with the Olins, the consensus
is that lus plan would work. He sta.ted that the Olins are open to
doing a cul-de-sac but they have opened the street and their plan
maximizes their property. He further stated that the purpose for the
through street would be to provide access to the Olin property but it
provides nothing for his property as no lot is served by it.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the people who ultimately live in
the Bjorklund might want to have access to the park to the south.
He stated that the Rolfs need advise as to what they should be doing,
and although they are not considering developing their site now,
someone will in the future. He pointed out that the Rolfs should be
given the opporhxnity to be heard and that Council needs to know if
the Rolfs are going to join in the right-of-way and will not order a
feasibility study until the issue is resolved.
Mr. Bjorklund responded that he will be paying for the study and
would proceed to submit the study escrow after the preliminary plan
is approved. He sta.ted that between now and the payment of the
escrow he would want to get the right-of-way issue resolved but the
resolution of the issue does not stop any approval of the preliminary
plat.
Councilmember Huber responded that the question is whether the
entrance to the cul-de-sac is entirely on the Bjorklund or partly on
the Rolf property.
Page No. 4302
February 21, 1995
Mr. Bjorklund responded that he will come back with all of the
documentation on the right-of-way matter before he asks for final
plat approval and he is trying to work out the issues with the Rolfs.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Council could approve the
preliminary plat and the Rolfs could say no to the dedication. He
stated that Council does not want to get into the position where Mr.
Bjorklund would ask for condemnation because he spent
considerable money on the platting. He pointed out that Council
lrnows that Mr. Bjorklund does not own the land, and sta.ted that he
must own the land he is asking to plat - Council can give concept
approval and Mr. Bjorklund could come back for preliminary plat
approval after he purchases the land from the Rolfs.
Councilmember Huber stated that his concern is that two weeks ago
he said he wanted to be sure all issues had been discussed other than
the layout of the street so that action could be taken this evening. He
stated that his intent in making that statement two weeks ago was so
Council would not have to have any concerns over who owned what
land, etc. He informed Mr. Bjorklund that these issues should have
been taken care of before this evening.
Councilmember Krebsbach suggested that the matter be tabled for
two weeks to resolve the right-of-way issue and to be clear on the
street easement.
Mr. Bjorklund stated that his intent is that the Rolfs sign the final
plat - he does not have to buy the property.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that he would be more comfortable if
Mr. Bjorklund owned the property or has an ownerslup right in it.
He pointed out that Mr. Bjorklund must have a right to plat the right-
of-way. He asked Mr. Rolf if he gives his consent to preliminary
plat approval.
Mr. Rolf responded that he and his mother have not given their
consent.
Mr. Bjorklund stated that he wanted to plat his property coming off
of Orchard and develop the property alone, but was lead to believe
that he would be fighting an up-hill battle for a cul-de-sac from
Orchard and was told he should take the adjoining properties into
account. He stated that the Olin through street proposal would
decimate the tree line, and that he is hying to cooperate with the city
on the overall development of the area.
Page No. 4303
February 21, 1995
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Mr. Bjorklund should get a written
statement of consent from the Rolfs consenting to imposing the plat
on their land.
Co cilmember Koch stated that she agrees that Mr. Bjorklu.nd
� ld have come in with something for just the property he owns
�t he was trying to accommodate the surrounding lands.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that all he is saying is that Council
wants to be sure Mr. Bjorklund owns all the land he proposes to plat
or that he has a right to it. He pointed out that Mr. Rolf indicated
this evening that he would not sign the plat.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to be given
more time, that she is concerned that Council still does not have the
best concept and there is no resolution for the Olin property. She
stated that if the preliminary plat is approved Council would be
approving in concept a long cul-de-sac for the Olin property. She
further sta.ted that the larger issue is not just the approval for the
street within the development - the Rolfs have owned their property
for a long time and should be given two weeks to consider the plans.
She felt that if the solution is not going to be a through street, the
other property owners are not being accommodated.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council must be sure that all of the
options have been looked at and must be satisfied that the Olin
property can be developed even if there is no access off Lexington.
He noted that Planner Uban has stated n his report that the Olin
proposal and plan provides options for future City Councils, but all
that is before Council now is a preliminary plat with right-of-way on
someone else's property.
Acting City Attorney Michael Duffy stated that he agrees with the
Mayor's assessment of the preliminary plat proposal - the ordinance
requires sufficient proprietary interest in the land - and given what
the Rolfs have stated this evening, Mr. Bjorklund does not have
sufficient proprietary interest.
Responding to a question from Councilmember Huber, Mr.
Bjorklund stated that three of the four property owners have
indicated they prefer his "Plan E," and what the Olins really want is
the 900 foot cul-de-sac, and all the through street would do is
provide another access. He stated that his Lot 6 would be harmed
under the Olin proposal.
Page No. 4304
February 21, 1995
Councilmember Huber pointed out that is a similar situation to Lot 1
on the Rolf property in Mr. Bjorklund's design and not unlike
Council's concern over Lot 1 in that there would be a road behind
that lot as well.
Mr. Bjorklund stated that he has come with every intention of
working with the city and that he has a signed statement from the
Rolfs indicating that they are worlcing with him on the right-of-way.
With respect to the road design, Mr. Paul McGinley, survey
representing Mr. Bjorklund, stated that he would like to clarify that
Council is not being asked to make a choice between the Olin
proposal and Plan E. In terms of the neighborhood circulation plan,
it is not a choice between a through sfreet as proposed on the Olin
drawings and Plan E- the Bjorklund Plan D shows a through street.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like it to be cleaz
that she would not be interested in condemning property of long-
time property owners and is less inclined to feel that way about
developers because they do not have long-time ownership. She
further stated that she wants to make it clear that if the Rolfs feel
that the road easement suggested in the Olin plan is good she would
be more inclined towards condemnation on that basis.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Bjorklund that Council must be
provided with a written indication from the Rolfs that they will join
in the final plat before any action will be talcen on the prelirninary
plat request.
CASE NO. 94-25, Council acknowledged a memo from the Public Works Director
MENDOTA MEADOWS and report from the City Planner relative to a request from Mr. John
Mathern, Mendota Homes, to change the unit mix plan for Mendota
Meadows from 17 duplexes and 2 single family homes to 12
duplexes and 10 single family homes, resulting in a density
reduction of two units. Mr. Mathern, present for the discussion,
reviewed the proposal for Council.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that Council approved
the preliminary plat for the development in January, and Mr.
Mathern has subsequently indicated that the project would be more
viable from a marketing standpoint if there are more free-standing
units. He stated that two of the units are proposed to be eight to nine
feet closer to Mendota Heights Road than in the original plan, which
he felt would represent a significant change unless Mr. Mathern
brings them back to the original setback. He stated that one of the
garages is also closer to Mendota Heights Road a.nd Mr. Mathern
Page No. 4305
February 21, 1995
has indicated he will change it. He pointed out that one of the units
has been moved 14 feet closer to the east property line but Mr.
Mathern has submitted an extensive landscaping plan to offset the
setback change. He pointed out that there have been no changes to
Outlot B but a four by 10 foot change in Outlot A. He asked if the
holding capacity of the pond on Outlot A will be changed.
Mr. Mathern responded that there will be no change in the holding
capacity.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the proposed changes aznount to
splitting some of the easterly lots to accommoda.te more single units
and fewer double units - the appearance of the project will not
change. He informed Mr. Mathem that he cannot start a twin unit
model unless he starts both sides, and stated that if Mr. Mathern
agrees to the conditions and modifies the landscaping in accordance
with the City Planner's report, Council could find the proposal to be
a minor adjushnent which does not need further pla.nning review.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to find that the proposed change
in the Mendota Meadows plan to adjust the unit mix from 17
duplexes and two single family homes to twelve duplexes and ten
single family represents a minor change to the approved plan, and to
approve a minor amendment to the planned unit development
conditioned that the setbacks from Mendota Heights Road on Lots 1
and 26 be changed back to their original setbacks, that landscaping
modifications be made in accordance with the City Planner's report,
and that both units of the twin unit (duplex) buildings must be
constructed at the same time.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

PAGEL ROAD WALK WAY Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson regarding proposed Pagel Road walkway improvements,
regrading at the PageUKeokuk intersection, and bus stop
improvements on Keokuk west of Pagel, including the addition of
five pazking stalls to the north of Keokuk and a pazking lane for
MTC buses to the south. Council also aclmowledged letters from
Mr. James Losleben and Mr. & Mrs. Stockton Forest and a copy of
an informational letter from Public Works Director Danielson which
had been sent to land owners abutting Pagel Road.
Mr. James Losleben stated that he and Mrs. Sue Fischer had served
� as a neighborhood committee which met with city staff to review the
Page No. 4306
February 21, 1995
proposal. He stated that he feels the plans are excellent and that he
and his neighbors look forward to the future improvements.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he is concerned that the proposed
pazking stalls are in the area where school buses stop. He stated
about cars backing out when school buses come in and would prefer
parallel parking for the safety of the children. He further stated that
he would also like to explore the possibility of the city acquiring the
land from Mn/DOT between Dodd and Pagel because the area is so
unsightly.
Mr. Losleben responded that people dump leaves and trash on the
Mn/DOT property and that the Pagel Road and Hazel Court property
owners have talked about forming a volunteer group to clean the
azea and make it look nice. He stated that he will get volunteers to
keep the azea clean.
Mayor Mertensotto directed Public Works Director Danielson to
conta.ct Mn/DOT to ask if they will turn the land over to the city.
Mr. Mazk Enderline, 2353 Pueblo Drive, stated that he is surprised
that the first time he heard about this project was about ten days ago,
in the letter from the city which sta.ted that there is a good chance his
properry line would be moved. He further stated that it appears that
everything has been designed and fences and trees will be lost.
Mr. Losleben responded that the improvements would be in the back
yards of the Pueblo Drive properties and the fences that back up to
Pagel will not be affected. He explained that the road will be cut
down to improve the site distance and stopping at Keokuk, which
can be done without affecting fences. He further stated that it is also
likely that the lilacs and shrubs along the back yazds will also be
preserved. He stated that there will be no additional assessments to
the properties that back up on Pagel, no trees or fences will be
affected, and everything that will happen behind their homes will be
on public property.
Public Works Director Daruelson stated that the Pueblo Drive
properties will be assessed for the Friendly Hills improvements but
the Pagel Road improvements will not affect them. He informed
Council that the property owners were notified because they back up
against Pagel and there aze some fences (Fischer and Bonine
properties) that will need to be moved.
Mr. James Baker, 2300 Pagel Road, asked how much of his yard and
the ditch will be filled in.
Page No. 4307
February 21, 1995
Mr. Danielson responded that the first house north of Keokuk has a
brushy ditch and the brush will be removed and curbing will be
installed on Mr. Baker's side of Keokuk. The north side of his
driveway will e filled in just enough to put in the curb and fill
behind it. He informed Mr. Baker that city sta.ff will meet Mr. Baker
on site if he wishes and will put in stakes to show him the affected
area. He explained that all of the work will be done in the right-of-
way and not on Mr. Baker's property.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if the property owners who will
lose the bigger trees have been notified.
Mr. Danielson responded that all of the trees which will be removed
are in the right-of-way and the larger ones are in the ditch itself. He
stated that the only contact with the home-owners in the area has
been by the letter sent to the neighborhood.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that even if the trees are in the
right-of-way, she feels the adjacent property owners should be
notified� and asked for their comments. She also felt that there
should be no pazking in the bus stop azea at night.
Mayor Mertensotto commented that the area is also a problem
because people use it to park cazs for sale.
Mr. Dale O'Gaza, 2331 Pueblo, stated that his concern is that the
park and ride area would be used late at night and people will dump
trash there.
Mr. Danielson responded that it is not a park and ride area, but rather
would be used for people stopping to wait with someone waiting for
a bus. He stated that if it becomes a problem with long-term
parking, signage can be installed.
There being no further discussion, staff was directed to incorporate
the walkway, grading, intersection re-grading and parallel parking
sta.11s into the ixnprovement project.
PAR 3 PARKING Council acknowledged a proposed agreement and sketches from
CashilUSpaulding Properties, Inc. regazding parking arrangements
for Par 3 Golf Course, along with a report from Administrative
Assistant Batchelder. Mr. Spaulding and Mr. Caslull were present
for the discussion.
Page No. 4308
February 21, 1995
Mr. Spaulding informed Council that six new parking spaces will be
created in 1995 before the peak golfing season and in two years,
after the impact of the West St. Paul golf course is lrnown, 17
additional spaces will be created if Council feels they are needed.
He explained that the two new spaces will increase existing parking
by 18%, and he felt that by creating the new spaces his firm is
making an honest effort to work with the city.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what will happen when the city gets
complaints from people living on Bachelor about on-street parking.
He suggested that Council could grant approval to a building permit
for the proposed deck expansion if the owners agree to do the
complete parking upgrade within two years but also gives them the
right to come back before Council at that time and demonstrate that
adding the parking would be detrimental to their business. He
explained that then there would be a plan in place and the owners
would agree to complete the plan in two yeazs. In 18 months, they
could come back and ask for an extension or reprieve from the
requirement.
Mr. Cashill and Mr. Spaulding agreed, stating that they would like
nothing better than to have the business increase to the point where
the additional pazking spaces are needed. Mr. Spauldi.ng informed
Council that in order to add the 17 spaces, he may need to come
closer to the street than is allowed and variances may be needed.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she feels the owners will be
very successful because of the food operation and the city feels it
should be more of a golf course operation.
Mr. Cashill responded that they will not have a restaurant but rather
that they aze proposing serving sandwiches and beverages including
3.2 beer. He further stated that they are not planning on keeping the
clubhouse open longer hours.
Mayor Mertensotto directed staff to prepare a draft agreement
pursuant to a parking plan that is then approved (in two years) by the
City Council, with the city reserving the right to review the plans
before completion of the parking.
Councilmember Huber moved to authorize the Code Enforcement
Department to issue a permit for the patio/deck improvements, after
an agreement is signed by the applicants making the commitment for
future expansion of parking.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

CELLULAR ONE Council acknowledged a letter and proposed lease agreement from
CellularONE relative to its request to install six panel antennae on
- the city's water tower. Council also acknowledged an associated
report from Assistant Batchelder. Mr. Ted Olson, CellularONE
Property Manager, was present for the discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he is not prepazed to give concept
approval to the request, stating that Council had informed US West
when it made its last similar request that Council would not consider
any more antennae. He informed the audience that the water tower
is undergoing renovation and will be like new when the project is
complete but it is not known at tlus point to what extent the existing
antennae will cause problems for the contractor. He felt that it
would be premature to give concept approval at this time and stated
that he has not had time to fully review the proposal from
CellularONE.
Mr. Olson stated that he was lead to believe that there would be
some consideration given to the request this evening. He informed
Council that he has contacted the water tower contractor ('TMn and
he is prepazed to work with the city to try to work azound the work
being done on the tank. He further stated that he did not want to get
the city into the position where the installation of antennae on the
tank would cost the city more money in the tank project and he
would be prepared to delay the installation of the antennae assuming
he could get concept approval and then move forward to the
Planning Commission on the conditional use permit process.
Administrator Lawell informed Council that a conditional use permit
would be required because the request also would include
construction of a utility building.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that placement of antennae on the water
tower is a policy decision and that Council does not want it to look
like a pin cushion. He informed Mr. Olson that at the February 7
discussion, Council made no commitment to a time table and he was
informed that there would not be any assurances of approval. He
pointed out that in addition to the tower reconditioning, the city is
also in the process of negotiating a new water contract and must also
worry about getting an extension of the main to the water tower - all
of which must take priority over antennae consideration.
Page No. 4310
February 21, 1995
Mr. Olson responded that his firm is licensed to operate by the FCC
and part of that charge is that it must provide acceptable levels of
service to its customers. He stated that CellularONE needs to
increase its level of service in this area and is caught between the
city which tells it to wait six�to nine months for a decision and the
federal government which tells it it must do something. He
explained that this is one of the reasons he proposed last time either
doing something on the tank or a free standing mono pole to be
installed in the industrial park, which would not interfere with the
work which must be done on the tank and still allows the company
to meet the federal mandate.
Mayor Mertensotto cautioned Mr. Olson that there is a height
limitation because of the airport flight path. He informed Mr. Olson
that the city cannot even put a safety railing on the top of the water
tank for the safety of those who work on it.
Mr. Olson responded that every installation his firxn makes requires
an application to the FAA and he is aware of the problems in this
area because of the proximity to the airport. He sta.ted that he is not
looking for the most premium piece of industrial land but some
property that will allow a free standing shucture at the height that is
needed, somewhere in the northwest quadrant of the freeways. To
do so, the site must be in Mendota Heights. He asked how he should
proceed, whether he should look at some other locations for a mono
pole. He asked for Council direction, stating that planning takes
about six month from the time approval is given to a location.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked how many cellular companies
there are and how many requests Council might face in the future.
Mr. Olson responded that there aze currently two licensed cellular
operators in any given geogra.phical area and he did not think any
one lrnows how many PCS licenses could be issued in the future but
those licenses would not likely be asking for a site on the water
tower.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he thinks Council should hold a
workshop to determine how many antennae it wants on the tower as
a policy matter. He pointed out that while antenna leases are a
source of revenue, there are other considerations from an aesthetic
standpoint.
Mr. Olson responded that locating the antennae on a city facility
would not be his first choice, but in his conta.cts with city staff, he
was informed that staff thought it would be less obtrusive and in the
Page No. 4311
February 21, 1995
city's best interest to place the antennae on the tower. He stated that
he would prefer to locate on a free-standing mono pole as his firm
did along T.H. 13, and further sta.ted that he would have no
objections to working with city staff to come up with a reasonable
alternative location.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Mr. Olson can present whatever
proposal he wishes but Council does not want to mislead him. If he
locates a site and goes through the conditional use process for a
mono pole and public hearings, etc., there is no guarantee of
approval. He again stated that there is a question of policy involved
and he is not prepazed to give concept approval this evening. He
explained that he will be more prepazed to consider the request after
Council holds a workshop to develop a policy on how many
antennae would be allowed on the water tower. He stated that he
would like to see what kind of problems the tank reconditioning
contractor runs into because of the US West antennae and whether
there will be any cost increase because they are on the tank.
Mrs. Olson responded that he contact TMI for that reason and was
told that the antenna that were on the tower did not materially affect
TMI's bid and if he worked with them there would not be any cost
to the city. He stated that he would not want to be causing the city
any additional cost burden.
Councilmember Koch felt that Council should give Mr. Olson some
idea of its feelings on the tower versus the mono pole and if Council
agrees that it does not want a free-standing pole Mr. Olson would
not have to go to the effort of finding another site.
Councilmember Huber stated that he would prefer the antennae on
the tower to a free standing pole.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council will have to operate within
Mr. Olson's time frame and that he did not realize the request would
come back so quickly.
WATER AGREEMENT Council acknowledged a draft water service contract between the
city and the St. Paul Water Utility, along with an associated report
from the Public Works Director.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he would like to participate in the
negotiations with St. Paul because it involves many policy concerns.
He asked if any Council members would like to be involved.
Councilmember Krebsbach volunteered to participate.
Page No. 4312
February 21, 1995
WATER TOWER Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council had informed TMI that they
would be informed on whether the city wanted the tower to be
shrouded during its repair. He stated TMI wants to know about
shrouding so that it can put its work program together, and they are
' comfortable doing the project without the shrouding. He informed
- Council that he has spoken to Councilmember Smith, who has
informed him that she spoke to 3M representative and they told her
that they have no problem with the project being done without a
shroud. He stated that Public Works Director Danielson will send
written notice to all of the adjoining property owners and that TMI
has contracted with the owner of the adjouung house as a
subcontractor for the project. He recommended that shrouding not
be done.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to notify TMI Coatings with
respect to the contract for refurbishing the water tower that Council
elecis to do the project without the use of a containment shroud
costing approximately $98,000.
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if any concerns come up, the LMCIT
should be requested to use the same law firm that defends the TMI
insurers.
DETACHED GARAGES Council acknowledged a proposed ordinance regarding detached
gazages, along with an associated report from Assistant Batchelder.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Council that Councilmember Smith
has reviewed the proposed revised draft and is satisfied with it as
proposed.
Councilmember Koch moved adoption of Ordinance No. 301, "AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 401."
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.

CRITICAL AREA ORDINANCE Council acknowledged a memo and a proposed ordinance to revised
the Critical Area Ordinance.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the Planning Commission
would like the language last proposed for Section 2.3C la so that
city attention would be triggered by activity involving five feet of
cut or fill or more. She stated that Planning Commission Chair
Page No. 4313

Dwyer recommends that the originally proposed language be
approved and that she would prefer to leave the language as
proposed by the Commission.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to adopt Ordinance No. 302,

recommended by the Planning Commission on February 7.

NORTH ITRBAN TRAIL Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant Batchelder relative to
a request by the county for the city's position on the North Urban
Regional Trail (NURT).
Assistant Batchelder informed Council that the Park Commission is
concerned that the regional standard may call for the grading and
widening of the Valley Pazk trail and the section of the trail from
Park Place to the top of the hill may have to be brought up to other
standards.
Councilmember Huber stated that he had concerns about the
standards when the issue was first discussed and after considera.tion,
he would be very reluctant about bringing the trail up to the regional
standards because it would have a significant impact on the trail. He
was very concerned over what the widening and flattening or side-
by-side trails which could be required would do to the existing
beauty of the trail. He stated that the trail was not designed for
people who would want to bicycle it at 30 miles per hour. Also, he
was concerned about the alternate location of the trail on the north
side of the T.H. 110 frontage road.
Administrator Lawell stated that the city has not changed its position
with respect to the trail design, but rather, the county has changed its
position in drafting the master plan.
After discussion, Councilmember Huber moved adoption of
Resolution No. 95-10, "A RESOLLTTION OF GENERAL
SUPPORT FOR THE NORTH URBAN REGIONAL TRAIL," with
the stipulation that Council approves the concept of the NURT
provided the route along T.H. 110 be located between the westbound
lane of T.H. 110 and Freeway Road and that there be no physical
changes to the trailway as now constructed from T.H. 110 north
through the Valley Park.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

WORKSHOP Council aclaiowledged a memo from Administrator Lawell
regarding tentative dates for the CounciUAirport Relations
Commission joint workshop.
Administrator Lawell reported on the MAC hearing on its long-term
comprehensive plan, informing Council that MAC affirmed toda.y
that the north/south runway is the preferred expansion option along
with the west terminal.
Adminisirator Lawell stated that the T.H. 55 study is also a
workshop topic. Councilmember Krebsbach suggested a city clean-
up day as a workshop topic.
Assistant Batchelder stated that $1,000 was included in the recycling
budget for a clean-up day, although the program has not yet been
planned.
Mayor Mertensotto asked Assistant Batchelder to prepare
information for discussion in March.
It was the consensus to conduct a joint meeting with the Airport
Relations Commission on Apri127.
COLINCIL COMMENTS Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Assistant
Batchelder gave Council a briefly update on senior housing.
Administrator Lawell informed Council that he will invite
representatives of the HRA to give Council a progress report at the
March 7th meeting.
MEETING TIME CHANGE Administrator Lawell informed the audience that the March 7
Council meeting will not start unti18:00 p.m. because Council
cannot convene during the hours of the school.district referendum.

SYNOPSIS •
The department responded to 35 calls during February, 1995. Seven calls called
for the use of fire extinguishmen� These involved vehicle fires, a chimney fire, a small
fire in a garage, and a small building connected to a barn on the Tom Burows farm. The
barn itself had very minimal damage to the structure itself. Dollar loss for these incidents
totaled approximately $24,000.
Other calls included investigative (alarms, detectors), medical assists, calls canceled
while responding, smell of gas and two calls involving broken sprinkler heads.
TRAINING
Cleanu�/S�uad Drill
During the month of February the cleanup/squad drills involved live burns in a
vacant structure. Small fires were started and firefighters used SCBA and handlines to
suppress the fires. This gave all firefighters a chance to experience fire and heat in a
controlled environment.
Monthly Drill
The monthly department drill consisted of ice rescue techniques. Firefighters
utilized ropes, hose, and other tools to simulate a safe, efficient, and immediate response to
victims in distress.

22. It was noted that the City of Minneapolis has endorsed
the extension of Runway 4-22, but only if it is used to
relieve air traffic over South Minneapolis. The Commission
discussed the Cities of Richfield and Bloomington's position
regarding this possible extension. Chair Beaty stated that he
is in favor of extending Runway 4-22 if it will be used to
equitably distribute the air noise.
In response to a question from Commissioner Olsen,
Administrator Lawell stated that if a north/south runway is
constructed, then Runway 4-22 will be rendered largely
unusable.

Commissioner Leuman stated that if the City of Mendota Heights
no longer wants to be affected by air noise, then the

Commissioner Olsen inquired if the City can afford losing the
! airport. Commissioner Surrisi stated that she moved to
� Mendota Heights to be close to the airport. She stated she
' would like to see the City of Mendota Heights continue to work
; on co-existing with the airport. She atated she would like to
see the City be more aggressive in arguing equity in

Commissioner Beaty suggested that any concerns generated by
constructing a new airport will not exist as the years go on.
He further stated that when he was appointed to the
Commission, he was optimistic that the City of Mendota Heights
could make some progress in convincing the MAC that the City
experiences an inequitable amount of air noise. He stated
that he is no longer optimistic.
In response to a question from Chair Beaty, Administrator
Lawell stated that some socio-economic implications have been
analyzed in the dual track airport planning process but that
such implications are difficult if not impossible to quantify.
Chair Beaty stated that he is concerned for future growth in
the existing airport and that more air noise will be
generated.
Commissioner Surrisi stated that the airline industry is
getting healthier. She stated that it may not matter that the
number of operations increase at the current airport as long
as the air noise is not significant. She stated that new
aircraft (such as the A320 and 757) will help reduce the air
noise problem.
In response to a question from Chair Beaty, Administrator
Lawell stated that the City's business park is guided for
office and industrial use and that such development greatly
benefits our City's overall tax base. He stated that if the
airport is moved, the business park may change in terms of
tenant mix, but the overall land use would probably not
change. •
Commissioner Stein stated that he is in favor of the dual-
track process. He stated that he would like to see the
process of moving the airport slowed. Commissioner Stein
stated that he had recently had an opportunity to listen to a
speaker on the dual track process. He inquired if this
individual could be invited to speak to the Commission a.bout
the dual track process sometime in the future. Commissioner
Stein further stated that he likes the transit rail concept.
Commissioner Olsen stated that he would like to see the City
stand behind the dual-track process study. Chair Beaty atated
that the City should follow the dual-track process to its
conclusion. He stated that the air noise pollution from
airplanes will not go away.
Administrator Lawell stated that the City Council has
suggested that a joint workshop with the Airport Relations
Commission be conducted. He stated that one topic of
discussion could be the Dual-Track Process.

MISCELLANEOIIS
Chair Beaty suggested that the Commission consider conducting
a joint meeting with the other Airport Commissions from the
Cities of Eagan and Inver Grove Heights to discuss common
interests and concerns about air noise. He stated it would be
nice to identify common bonds between all the air noise
affected cities.
It was suggested that the Chairperson from each Commission
meet to consider if there is a common ground amongst the
cities. If there is a consensus, then staff inembers from each
city should meet to prepare possible discussion items for a
joint Commission meeting.
Administrator Lawell stated that he would draft a letter, for
Commission review, which would be sent to the Cities of Inver
Grove Heights, Eagan, Sunfish Lake and Mendota, inquiring
about the possibility of conducting a joint meeting between
Commissions .
It was the consensus of the Commission to conduct a joint
workshop with the City Council. The Commission directed staff
to inquire with City Council about a possible Ma.rch 30 or
April 27 workshop date.
Commissioner Stein stated he would look into the possibility
of inviting Mr. Brian Addis to their March 8 meeting to
discuss the dual-track process.

Several yeara ago the City instituted a Section 125 Flex
Benefit Plan for its employees. The Plan allows participants to
use pre-tax dollars to pay expenses such as medical and child care.
For the year 1995, the Plan has 43 participants who will
realize a savings of $25,899 in taxes. The City also realizes a
net savings of $4,419 because of the Plan. .
The Plan has proven to be a win win aituation for employees
and the City. Like every good idea, the Federal laws which allow
the Plan will be under fire in Washington to phase it out or
eliminate.

SUBJECT: West St. Paul Dispatch Billing
� After several months of negotiation, we have received from
West St. Paul our billing for 1994 Police and Fire Dispatching.
The final billing is about $12,000 more than budgeted. The
principal reason behind the increase is additional cost figures
which have been included as West St. Paul got into more cost
research. The following is a summary of our billings for the past
few years and the projection of 1995.

� If the actual West St. Paul expenses were applied to our 1994
billing, with the formula in use, our 1994 billing could have gone
as,high as $76,168. For 1995, we have budgeted $59,690 which is
more in line with the expectation. The billing is on tonight's
List of Claims. Approval of the Claims List will amount to
approval of the billing.

FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer
SUBJECT: 1995/1996 Sewer Utility Budget and Rates
� _..
DISCLTSSION
At the time we prepared the 1995 Sewer Utility Budget, we
planned on a five percent increase in the sewer rates in order to
balance the budget. In 1995, we are paying a$151,000 shortfall in
our estimated 1993 sewer billing from MWCC.
� At budget time, I suggested we delay action on the increase
and monitor the trend of volume for the balance of 1994 to
determine if our 1996 rate will suffer from a similar shortfall
from 1994. The readings for 1994 are now available, and have come
in almost exactly in the estimated billing. As a result, we should
have a shortfall of not more than $10,000 in 1996, and a MWCC
billing of about $120/$130,000 less than our 1995 bill.
As a result, I would suggest we hold off any increase until
MWCC has prepared their preliminary 1996 Budget. If we are
correct, I would recommend that we continue 1995 at our present
rate, and make up the $50,000 shortfall in 1996. We should have
the MWCC figurea by June, and at worst, could impose a rate
increase for the second half of 1995 and at beat, eliminate the
need for any change until 1997.

DISCUSSION:
The sprinkling ban has now been published in several. newspapers and the City`s
newsletter and phone calls have been coming in as a result. After a few days af c��lls we began
documenting them (see attached). What we have been telling residents is that the City will
consider variances to the ban for new lawns, but that we do not know enough about haw the
system is going ta react to the tower being out of service yet, We are therefore instructing
requesters to call back for more instnzctionsclose to the time when they need to water. We
will' have better information and will better be able to tell them the details of when and how
they are to water once we have some experience as how the system is reacting to the loss of
the tower. We have tald people that they can fill their pools and hand water individual plants,
just no spriakling,
; Severai peaple have been upset about the ban and have asked about the passzbility of
the City providing incentives to the contractar to work avertime and finish early. We have
informed them that because af the naise assaciated with the sandblasting that we have
restnicted the contractor to work anly Monday through Frida.q, 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
The Contra.ctor informed me at the pxe-construction meeting that the haurs of operation
limita�ion wauld in generat slow down completion of the project because there are many days
that wark is halted for weather (rain or high winds). The workers would then normally be
allowed to work avertime after b:00 P.M. or on the weekend to get in their 40 hours, With
tlus li.mitatian tt►at will not be able to occur,
' Cauncil may want to reconsider and allaw at least non-sandblasting activities to occur

Leave of Absence Request for Police Patrol Officer
' Police Patrol Officer Roger Plath has been unable to perform
the full duties of his position since June 28, 1994 as a result
of a non-job related injury. During his absence from the
Department, he has drawn upon his various accumulated leave banks
(ie., vacation, sick, compensatory time, etc.) to continue to be
paid during his period of inedical treatment and rehabilitation.
Officer Plath's leave banks will soon be exhausted
(estimated expiration date of March 15, 1995) and because his
ability to return to duty will not be fully known until after
that date, it is requested that Officer Plath be granted a 45 day
leave of a.bsence without pay effective the day his leave banks
become fully depleted.
It is anticipated this leave of absence without pay will be
helpful to both the City and Officer Plath. Activities to be
undertaken during this period include, but are not limited to:
1) Obtain a medical opinion regarding Officer Plath's
condition and prognosis, and his ability to return to
duty, with or without conditions.
2) Specifically analyze the duties of Police Patrol
Officer as they ma.y or may not be able to be performed
by Of f icer Plath .
3) If necessary, to seek a reasonable accommodation which
does not impose an undue burden on the City to allow
Officer Plath to return to work as required by the
Americans with Disabilities Act and/or other laws and
regulations.
ACTION RBQIIIRED
i Authorize an unpaid 45 day leave of absence for Police
Patrol Officer Roger Plath effective upon the depletion of his
leave bank balances which is estimated to occur on March 15,

to discuss changes and remodeling of the building
Heights Road. The original occupants were first
PrintWare.
During the meeting it was discussed that an additional 3'0"
egress door (#115 - See Elevation in Drawing 1) would be necessary
on the east side of the building. A 10' wide overhead door (#124A
- See Elevation in Drawing 2) is proposed also along the east side
of the building. The proposed door will be used for the loading
and unloading of ladders from their service trucks. Council should
also note that two parking spaces will be eliminated at the new
overhead door. However, they have 136 spaces and the Zoning
Ordinance minimum requires parking for the facility is 66 spaces.
; ESI is also proposing to add a new aluminum store front system
(#101 - See Elevation Drawing #3) at the front entryway of the
building (south side). (Please see drawing attached as to the
proposed glazing). Presently, the front entryway does not have
enough glazing to suit the new tenant. Their wish is to provide a
more natural light to the vestibule, waiting and receptionist area.
i
; Also discussed was signage for identifying Energy Solutions
International as the occupant of the building. This issue will
have to be re-visited as ESI has yet to determine their preference
for a signage package.

Friendly Hills and Surrounding
Area Improvements
M.S.A. Project 140-106-01
Job No. 9221
Improvement No. 92, Project No. 6
DISCUSSION:
� Council ordered the Friendly Hills improvement project at their December 20, 1994
meeting and directed staff to prepare plans and specifications for a street reconst�uction project
consisting of storm sewer, concrete curb and gutter, and a new bituminous street surface.
Project Summarv
! The proposed plans and specifications include the upgrade and reconstruction of
approximately 3.5 miles of e�cisting streets in the Friendly Hills and Pagel Road neighborhoods
to meet the requirements of City Standard streets, or Municipal State Aid (MSA) streets in the
case of Decorah Lane. Also included in the plans and specifications is the milling and
bituminous overlay of the pavement surface on Hazel Court, some minor improvements to the
storm water detention basin system on the Mendota Heights Fire Hall property, and a storm
sewer stub connection which provides for future redevelopment of the old fire hall property
east of Dodd Road.
' The plans and specifications provide for construction of a 7 ton desiga pavement
section constiucted with concrete curb and gutter 33 feet wide, face to face. The existing
bituminous surface would be reclaimed and crushed for use as a recycled aggregate base for
this �improvement project. The storm sewer system proposed under these construction
documents utilizes the existi.ng storm sewer system whenever feasible to reduce the cost of the
storm sewer system. Any storm water runoff which may exceed the capacity of the storm
sewer system would be conveyed within the street to an overland drainage outlet where the risk
of damage to private property is minimal. Where storm sewer is planned, property owners
will be afforded aa opportunity to connect their private sump pump directly to the storm sewer
system at a nominal additional cost. Existing ditches and driveway culverts will be eliminated.
Inadequate street subgrade conditions will be repaired. Drain tile will be installed, where
necessary and feasible, to provide a stable subgrade for street construction. Additional
aggregate base will be placed as required. Concrete curb and gutter will be constructed,
followed by the construction of two lifts of bituminous surface. Driveways shall be
reconstructed in kind, to the extent they were disturbed. Boulevards adjacent to the established
yards will be finished graded and restored with sod.
Northern States Power Construction
Northem States Power (NSP) has determined that the natural gas distribution system
which exists within the Friendly Hills neighborhaod should he replaced in conjunction with
this street reconstruction project. NSP has indicated that construction to replace the existing
gas distribution system would commence in April and be completed in approximately four (4)
weeks under their own contract at no cost to the City. Unfavorable weather conditions could
cause this construction to carry over to the start of the City's construction contract. Given the
size of this project, dela.ys in the NSP construction should not delay the City's project
completion.
Pagel Road Construction
Existi.ng conditions on Page1 Road made the design of this roadway section diff'icult.
The existing pavement width on Pagel Road varied from 22 feet to 24 feet. Trees, side slopes,
ditches, localized depressions, fences and other landscaping which encroach on public right-of-
way make construction on this section of street difficult. Construction of a sidewalk beyond
the proposed street reconstruction through this area pmved to be too disruptive to private
property. The section of Pagel Road between Dodd Road and Keokuk Lane will have concrete
curb and gutter canstructed on the east side only. Some brush would be removed and some
regrading would occur in public right-of-way east of the e�cisting road in conjunction with this
work. Between Keokuk Lane and Hazel Court the roadway will be constructed 33 feet wide
face to face. A dedicated pedway will be provided within this roadway on the east side by
installing a solid white line 6.5 feet from the east face of curb. Construction of this section of
roadway will necessitate the removal of one 6" poplar, and a 10" and 15" oak tree, and
approximately 18 miscellaneous trees between 4 and 10 inches. Staff has written letters to
these affected property owners to inform them of these proposed impacts (See copies of the
attached letters). The intersection of Pagel Road and Keokuk Lane will be lowered
approximately two feet. The approach south of this intersection on Pagel Road will be
lowered approximately three feet. Lowering this intersection further would have necessitated
lowering the watermain on Keokuk Lane which would be costly.
Pontiac Place Construction
The area north of Cheyenne Lane on Pontiac Place has bituminous drainage ditches on
both sides of this short section of roadway which will be eliminated under this reconstiuction
project. Engineering staff has contacted the two adjacent property owners and asked for their
input on two possible construction options presented for the their consideration (see attached
letters).
/ Decorah Lane Construction
Decorah Lane is planned to be constructed in accordance with MSA standards.
Decorah Lane is proposed to be constructed 27 feet wide, face to face, with concrete curb and
gutter, storm sewer, and no parking between Dadd Road and Apache Street. A short
dedicated right turn lane would be constructed on Decorah Lane at the intersection of Dodd
Road. Decorah Lane will be constructed 33 feet wide, face to face, with concrete curb and
gutter, storm sewer, and with parking restricted to the south side of the street only between
Apache Street and Pueblo Drive in compliance with MSA standards for this street width.
� The 27 foat wide Decorah Lane street sectian west of Agache Stre�t is offset
appioximately 4' north of centerline in this area, which is roughly where the existing pavement
is naw centered. This proposed street 2acation also pmvides segaration from the proposed
storm sewer and the e�cisting sanitary sewer trunk which is 4 feet narth of centerline as well.
Constiuctian of a 33 foot wide streei on Decorah Lane east of Apache St�reet, in conjunction
with the offset and narrower roadway west a:f this intersection, logically dictates that parking
on one side of Decorah Lane easi of Apache Str�eet be Iocated an the south side. Decorah
Lane parking ban resalutions based on this design a.re attached for Council action because these
resolutions aze a necessary item of the required MSA plan submittal. packet {see Item 14 of the
enclosed farm).
Project Schedale
; Engineering staff has substantially campleted the plans and specif'ications foar the
project. The next step is to advertise for bids and seek MSA appraval. A praposed schedule

Dear Mr. and Mrs, Zaun:
� The plans far the design of the Friendly Hilis Stm�,et Reconstructian Project are�in its
final. stages, but there are a few concerns we neett to address with some of the residents in the
Friendly Hills area, One af the are,�s of concern deals with the small section of mad locate�i
north af the inter,�ct7i.on of Cheyenne Lane and Fontiac Piace, which borders your pmperty.
Currentty, the road e�ends north fmm the intersection appmximately 1Q0 fe�t and serves little
or no City puxpase. It also has bituminaus drainage ditches an both sides of the road to
convey storm water runvff. As part of the recanstruction project, this storm w�ter will be
rerouted underground. by way af a storna pipe to be Ic�ccated on the east side of the street: Since
the storm water will be transported undergmund the need for any bituminous north of
Cheyenne no Ionger exists.
Because the bituminous clitches will be elimnnated, the City is pmposing two optians
far you to consider to neplace the e�risting conditions. The City's preferned option would be to
e�rtend the curb and gutter tthrough the intersection, remove the bituminaus aroad and ditches,
fill with topsoil and sod the disturbeci ama. You would then be e�cpeeted to mow and maintain
this ama as aciditionallawn. With this opti.an, th.e City may consider, at your request, vacating
the portion af Pontiac Place and turning over the pruperiy to you and your neighbor.
The second optian you may consider is if you would like ta keep the street intact, the
City would pmvide a driveway entrance ta the street, sa.w cut at the edge of adjacent street and
remavs and fill in the bituminous ditches. However, the City will not provide maintenance to
this portion af the st� after construction.
Please contact me, at your earliest convenience at 452-1850, to discuss this issue.
Thank you,
Sincerel ,,

Dear Ms. Lillie:
I �
� The plans for the design of the Friendly Hills Stc�eet Reconstcuction Project are in its
final stages, but there are a few concems we need to address with some of the residents ia the
Friendly Hills area. One of the areas of concern deals with the small section of road located
north of the intersection of Cheyenne Laae and Pontiac Place, which borders your properiy.
Currently, the mad extends north from the intersection approximately 100 feet and serves little
or no City purpose. It also has bituminous drainage ditches on both sides of the mad to
convey storm water niaoff. As part of the reconstruction pmject, this storm water will be
rerouted underground by way of a storm pipe to be located on the east side of the st�+eet. Since
the storm water will be transported undergrouad the need for any bituminous north of
Cheyenne no longer exists.

Because the bituminous ditches will be eliminated, the City is pmposing two options
for you to consider to replace the existing conditions. The City's preferned option would be to
extend the curb and gutter through the intersection, remove the bituminous roa.d aad ditches,
fill with topsoil and sod the disturbed area. You would then be expected to mow and maintain
this area as additional lawn. With this option, the City may consider, at your request, vacating
the portion of Pontiac Place and turning over the properiy to you and your neighbor.
� The second option you may consider is if you would like to keep the stneet intact, the
City would pmvide a driveway entrance to the street, saw cut at the edge of adjacent street and
remove and fill in the bituminous ditches. However, the City will not provide maintenance to
this portion of the street after construction.
Please contact me, at your earliest convenience at 452-1850, to discuss this issue.
Thank you.

SIIBJECT: Authorize Use of Labor Relations Consultants
i
DISCUSSIQN
� Cauncil is aware of a, number of personnel related issues
which are currently being addressed by City staff. Previously we
have discussed the need to enlist the services oi a labor
rel.ations consultant in resolving the�e i.ssues and staff has
investigated the availabila.ty af such expertise. It is
recommended that we re�ain the services o� Labor Rela�ians
Associa�es, Inc. o£ Golden Valley to assist us in this regard.
� Labor Relations Associates, Inc. (LRA} is a well qualified
and well respec�ed firm doing personnel related consulting work
for Minnesota pubiic emplayers. Gurrently they assist 8'7 cities,
four counties, several pub].ic utilities and other agencies
throughout the State in handling labor related issues. A full
listing of Gheir various clienGs and a biographical sketch o�
some oi tho�e working �or �he Eirm is attached. Tf retained, it
is�anticipa�ed that� Ms. Karen Olsen would be �Ghe consultant
assigned to assist us with our needs.
�I Compensation for Services pravided by LRA is charged at $90
per hour for f�non.-subscriber° cities. It is passible for the
City to become a subscriber to the services provided by LRA
t�hrough March 14, ].996 for the sum of $2,863.00. The details of
this subscription option are outlined in �he attached ma�erial
from the Metropolitan Area Management Association. Many of the
services outlined are beyond aur current needs. Services ou�Gside
ofl�hose provided within the subscription service are avaa.lable
ta`subscriber ca,ties for $70 per hour. Even if we were to
sub�cribe, we would be charged the $7p per hour fee to handle
such is�ues as our pending grievance arbitration issue,
�
; For our purposesr I believe we would be better served to
retain LRA on a non-subscriber basis at the cast of $90 per hour.
I would further suggest a"not to exceed" cap of $5,000 for �,he
�ervices ta be provided by LRA through 1995. Sn �he uniikely
event it appears that our costs wi11 exceed this amount, �his
rnat�.er would be braught back before the City Council �or fur�.her
corisideratian. Funds �o support the u�e of LRA are avai].able
within the adopted 1995 Administra�ive budget.
� 3
ACTION RE4IIIRED
If Council agrees with the recommendation, a motion should
be made to retain the services of Labor Relations Associates,
Inc. on a non-subscriber basis at a rate of $90 per hour, not to
exceed a total expenditure of $5,000.

DISCIISSION
� Contained within the packet distributed last week was a memo
describing la.bor relations services available through Labor
Relations Associates, Inc. Since that memo was written, staff
has learned of another individual whose services more closely
match the City�'s current needs.
' Regarding�the Public Works scheduling issue, Mayor
Mertensotto and I have discussed the need to explore the legal
options available to us at this time. In researching this matter
it'was decided that the City could be best aerved by an attorney
specializing in public sector employment law. The law firm of
Ratwik, Roszak, Bergstrom and Maloney, P.A. of Minneapolis comes
highly recommended and Mayor Mertensotto has personally contacted
a member of the firm, Mr. Kevin Rupp, to discuss this matter.
� Based on that conversation, it is recommended that we retain
the services of Mr. Kevin Rupp, an attorney with the firm of
Ratwik; Roszak, Bergstrom and Maloney, P.A. to assist us with the
matter. A letter describing Mr. Rupp's qualifications and rates
is attached.
ACTION RE4IIIRED `
i
Should Council agree with the recommendation, a motion
should be made to retain the services of Mr. Revin Rupp, a member
of�the law firm Ratwik, Roszak, Bergstrom and Maloney, P.A., to
represent the City in ma.tters related to labor relations. Such
services are to be provided in accordance with Mr. Rupp's letter
dated Ma.rch 6, 1995 at a cost not to exceed $2,500.

DISCIISS TRLS PRESERVATION ORDINANCE
Chair Dwyer stated that it is the Commission's goal � to protect
existing trees in the City. He stated that the Commission is
trying to establish a balance between protecting trees in
undeveloped areas while not dictating what a homeowner can or
cannot choose to do on his/her property.
Chair Dwyer stated that Planne�
been written based on the Plann:
and City staff research. H
Commission is concerned about
would necessitate more staffing
the City's budget.
� Uban's draft ordinance has
.ng Commissions last workshop
� further atated that the
creating an ordinance which
to enforce and would impact
Chair Dwyer suggested that a sub-committee be formed to
further research the various concepts as prepared by Planner
Uban.
Commissioner Duggan stated that the requirement, under P£RMIT
APPLICATION of the draft ordinance, of requesting a homeowner
to submit a topographic map to the City should be eliminated
as the City should be able to provide this information
directly to the homeowner at no charge. Public Works Director
Danielson stated that the City does not have topographic maps
at a 50 foot scale. He stated the City could accommodate the
homeowner.
Commissioner Friel suggested that residential lots of less
than on acre should be exempted from the PERMIT APPLICATION -
topographic map requirement. Commissioner Friel submitted a
re-draft of Planner Uban's Tree Preservation Ordinance with
deletions and additions to the draft Ordinance for Planning
Commission discussion.
Commissioner Duggan provided the Planning Commission with an
example of a 24° diameter vinyl circle which represents a 24��
tree trunk. Commissioner Friel stated that property owners
are allowed to cut down trees under 24" except if they are
designated a Landmark or Significant tree. In response to a
question from Commissioner Duggan, Commissioner Friel
explained that a Significant tree is any deciduous or
coniferous tree or tree form (except elm, will, box elder and
aspen) measuring 6 inches in diameter or greater and that a
Landmark tre.e is a tree or tree stands as designated by the
City.
Planning Commission
February 28, 1995
Page 3
Planner Uban stated that the City has not designated any trees
as Landmark. He stated that with the new Tree Preservation
Ordinance, the City would be given the opportunity to
designate Landmark trees.
Planner Uban stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to
allow property owners the flexibility in maintaining their
property as they see fit. He stated the only restriction
placed on a property owner is that a tree 24° and over cannot
be removed without obtaining a permit.
Commissioner Betlej noted his concerns for property owners
clear cutting their property prior to application for a
subdivision. He cited the Garron property as an example of
clear cutting. . Commissioner Duggan stated that the
Subdivision Ordinance places restrictions on property owners.
Commissioner Friel stated that with this proposed ordinance,
a developer will be subject to tree replacement requirements.
Commissioner Friel stated that within his revised draft tree
i preservation ordinance he ma.de several changes and additions.
He stated that Number 2 of Restrictions was cumbersome and
I' that he changed it to "On residential lots of one acre or
j more, any trees that have an aggregate diameter of 32 inches
; or less but such measurement must exclude all trees having a
� diameter of 12 inches ore more, Significant Trees and Landma.rk
, Trees. Friel further added Zoning Districts NIlt-PUD, HR-PUD
�, and LR-PUD to Item C of Restrictions.
j Commissioner Friel suggested that the City consider adopting
� a tree removal moratorium pending the adoption of a Tree
Preservation Ordinance. He submitted an example of a Tree
; Moratorium Ordinance for Commission review.
The Commission discussed the process of a moratorium.
Commissioner Duggan stated that the purpose of this moratorium
is to preserve trees while the City is considering the
adoption of a tree preservation ordinance. He stated it is
not the City's intention to prevent development.
Commissioner Tilsen suggested that the Permit Application
process should require a registered landscape architect to
prepare regrading, drainage and planting plans (Section D,
#5). He stated this Section should state "Regrading and
Drainage and planting plans prepared by a registered landscape
architect".
Planning Commission
February 28, 1995

Commissioner Duggan inquired if the Permit Application Section
F regarding who can prepare a tree inventory should include
"qualified property owners". He stated some property owners
are qualified to prepare thei� own tree inventory plan.
Planner Uban stated that this Section specifically requires
registered land surveyors, landscape architect and foresters
to prepare tree inventory plans because these plans require an
accurate location of property dimensions. He further stated
that this Section is specifically regulating developers.
Commissioner Friel suggested that this Section be renumbered.
Commissioner Tilsen suggested that the definition of Root Zone
of a Tree be changed to "An area under and around the tree
which is equal to the radius times 1 1/2 feet for each inch of
the trunk diameter".
Chair Dwyer stated that there may be tremendous administrative
costs involved in creating this ordinance.
The Commission discussed types of injuries to trees, such as
mechanical and physical. The Commission redefined Tree Trunk.
The suggested definition to be: "The stem portion of a tree
from the ground to the first major branch thereof".
The Commission agreed to Commissioner Friel's suggestion of
including a Tree Preservation District within the ordinance.
As part of the Restrictions section of the ordinance, the
Commission agreed to remove "Significant Trees" from items
a(1) and a(2) .
Commissioner Duggan inquired if the Commission should consider
downsizing the diameter of a tree. Commisaioner Tilsen
inquired if the City should be more restrictive in the
Critical Area District. He stated that the City should
encourage proper forestation techniques.
Regarding Conditions of Tree Removal, Planner Uban cautioned
the Commission to not control the ecology of natural plant
life through this ordinance.
As a part of the Restrictions section of the ordinance, the
Commission agreed to remove "privately-owned" from Item a's
title. The revised title should be "Tree Preservation on
Residential Developed Land".
The Commission agreed to include the following in Section a(2)
of Restrictions: "On residential lots of one acre or more, in
any three year period, any trees that have an aggregate
diameter of 32 inches or less but such measurement must
S
Planning Commission
February 28, 1995
Page 5
exclude all trees having a diameter of 12 inches or more, and
Landmark Trees . The Commission further felt that new property
owners should be informed of this information. Commissioner
Duggan inquired if the City could inform new residents via the
City's newsletter.
As per Commissioner Betlej's concern for undeveloped
residential lots not being protected from developers clear
cutting the lots, the Commission included as part of the
Restrictions Section, Item C"Tree Preservation in Commercial
and Industrial Areas and Undeveloped Residential New Lots and
New Subdivisions.
Regarding the Permit Application process, Commissioner Tilsen
suggested that residential lots of less than one acre should
�, not be required to submit a topographic ma.p. Commissioner
Tilsen suggested that a regrading,drainage and planting plan
be prepared by a registered landscape architect. Commissioner
' Tilsen stated that applicants should be required to show cross
sections of views on these maps. Commissioner Tilsen noted
' his concern for the Critical Area District. Administrative
� Assistant Batchelder explained that the Critical Area
Ordinance already restricts this type of clearing along the
' bluffline.
Regarding Permit Fees, the Commission was of the consensus to
� not include any information in refunding permits fees should
a permit be denied. The Commission felt that this opportunity
should be based on Council decision only.
Regarding Conditions of Tree Removal. The Commission
discussed replacement of trees and how to include varieties
not mentioned within the specific table of species within the
', ordinance. Commissioner Duggan inquired if special
I consideration could be given to property owners operating
trees farms and orchards . The Commission was of the consensus
� to add the following information as underlined: "Replacement
� Trees shall be of species similar to the trees which are lost
; or removed and shall include a variety of those species shown
on the following table, or other varieties shown to be hardv
' and suitable for City conditions. Special consideration will
be given to those operating tree farms, orchards and
nurseries.
� Commissioner Lorberbaum stated that a longer time period in
; allowing replacement trees should be considered. The
� Commission was of the consensus to increase the months from 12
� to 15. The Time to Perform requirement read as follows:
�"Replacement Trees shall be planted within 15 months from the
� date of issuance of the permit".

Commissioner Koll stated that the Commission should not draft
an ordinance which is difficult to interpret. She further
stated the Commission should be careful in not raising costs
administratively. Chair Dwyer directed City staff to prepare
information regarding possible increases in administrative
costs with the enforcement of this ordinance. Planner Uban
stated that he would contact the City of Eden Prairie and
inquire about their administrative expenses.
Commissioner Duggan moved to recommend that the City Council
review the draft tree preservation ordinance and then direct
the Planning Commission to conduct a public hearing on March
28, 1995. He further recommended that the City Council
consider adopting a tree removal moratorium.
Commissioner Friel seconded the motion.

Chair Dwyer reconvened the meeting at 9:30 o'clock P.M.
DISCIISS ATHLETIC STADIIIM ORDINANCE
Chair Dwyer explained that the City Council directed the
Commission to look at the issue of Athletic Stadiums in
Residential Districts. He explained that Ordinance language
was presented at the Commission's January 24, 1995 meeting and
that since that meeting, Planner Uban has added additional
information on language, including a definition of Athletic
Stadium and a reference to MPCA noise standards.
The Planning Commission discussed the definition of Athletic
Stadiums. The Commission discussed what constitutes a minimum
capacity of spectators to qualify as a stadium. The
Commission further discussed including artificial lighting in
defining a stadium.
Commissioner Friel presented the Commission with a revised
definition of an Athletic Stadium. Commissioner Friel
suggested that a Stadium is an outdoor facility associated
with a school, institution or commercial enterprise.
Commissioner Duggan inquired if permanent seating should be
included within the ordinance. Commissioner Tilsen stated
that seating capacity should be included within the ordinance.
Planning Commission
February 28, 1995
Page 7
Chair Dwyer stated that the Planning Commission is concerned
with potential implications on existing residential areas with
traffic flow impacts, noise and lights.
A brief discussion ensued with respect to decreasing the
minimum number of spectators the stadium can accommodate. It
was suggested that a minimum of 500 spectators is acceptable
as opposed to 1000.
The Commission discussed the location of stadiums and parking
areas on thoroughfares. Planner Uban stated that the purpose
of locating parking lots on thoroughfares is to give direct
access to a facility and to help ma.intain the aesthetics of
the area. Commissioner Tilsen inquired about the hours of
operation, of lighting the facility, after an event.
Commissioner Friel introduced an additional item regarding
yearly license requirements. Friel suggested that "the
application for the yearly lighting license shall be submitted
not later than July 1 in each year on forms provided by the
City and in addition to demonstrating compliance with the
foregoing standards shall set forth with particularly the
dates, times, hours of operations and nature of �all events
during the ensuing year (October 1 to October 1) for which it
is proposed to use lighting or the public address system. The
application shall be placed on the Council agenda for
consideration not later than the first Council meeting in
August or it may be referred to the Planning Commission on or
before that date for consideration and recommendation to the
City Council so that the Council can give consideration to the
application not later than its first meeting in September°.
Commissioner Friel stated that a need for a process in
controlling renewal of licenses and a facilities' use is
necessary as the City needs to verify compliance with the
initial Conditional Use Permit.
The Commission agreed to add °or approved substitute" to the
Fencing requirement under Section 21.6(8).
The Commission agreed to add "Such conditions may be imposed
at the time that a yearly license is renewed" to Section
21.6 (9) .
Commissioner Duggan moved to recommend that the City Council
review the proposed ordinance amendment and then to direct the
Planning Commission to conduct a public hearing on March 28,
1995.

DISCIISS ZONING ORDINANCFs AMETTDMENT REGARDING
BIIILDING CONSTRIICTION RLQIIIREN�NTS IN INDIISTRIAL
AND BIISINESS ZONES
Planner Uban explained that Fire Marshal Paul Kaiser has been
concerned about the type of wood construction that has taken
place with the Heritage Inn and Courtyard by Marriott. He
stated that these materials are built out of Type V materials
which is primarily wood construction and even with sprinkling,
present more fire hazard than steel and concrete or masonry
construction. Uban stated that other industrial and business
buildings built by United Properties have been built with Type
III construction that uses ateel or reinforced concrete.
Planner Uban stated that Fire Marshal Raiser is proposing, to
assure future buildings are built to fire safety standards
more applicable to the desires of the City's Fire Department,
an amendment to the City's General Performance Section of the
City Zoning Ordinance. Planner Uban explained that the City
of Bloomington has a similar phrasing in their Zoning
Ordinance to control building types within certain zones.
Commissioner Friel stated that it is not the function of the
Planning Commission to review building construction plans. He
stated that it is the function of the City Council.
Chair Dwyer stated that Fire Marshal Kaiser raises some good
issues and that the Planning Commission and City Council
should consider this amendment.
Chair Dwyer reviewed a letter submitted from Mr. Dale Glowa,
of United Properties, noting their concern in amending the
Zoning Ordinance. Dwyer explained that United Properties'
concern is that the City is unnecessarily impacting the
Mendota Heights Business Park sites that are likely to be
developed with commercial properties. Dwyer stated that Mr.
Glowa informs the City that this amendment may limit United
Properties' ability to market land and attract desirable
businesses to Mendota Heights. Commissioner Friel stated that
he is not impressed with United Properties' position in
assuming less safe property is more marketable.
Commissioner Duggan stated that he would like to have
additional information on Type III construction verses Type V
construction. Chair Dwyer stated that the Commission should
invite Fire Marshal Kaiser and Mr. Glowa to their Ma.rch 28
meeting to review this proposed amendment.
Planning Commission
February 28, 1995
Page 9
Commissioner Tilsen stated that other issues should be
reviewed as the amendment may need to be more extensive.
Commissioner Betlej stated that most fire safety issues are as
a result of a building being more than one story. He
suggested that the amendment include "a building in excess of
one story be constructed with steel and reinforced concrete".
Planner Uban stated that Type III construction are buildings
constructed with steel and/or masonry exteriors with wood
interior. He stated the City should be aware that placing
these restrictions on a developer means the buildings will be
more expensive to construct. .
Commissioner Friel moved to recommend that the City Council
review the draft ordinance amendment and direct the Planning
Commission to conduct a public hearing on March 28, 1995. He
further directed staff to invite Fire Marshal Kaiser and Mr.
Glowa to this hearing for formal discussion.
Commissioner Tilsen seconded the motion.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
March 2, 1995
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Adminis
FROM: James E. Danielson, .
Public Works Directo
SUBJECT: Bridgeview Shores Trail
DISCUSSION:
Last fall the City included an 8 foot wide bituminous walking trail with the traffic
signal lights pmject for Mendota. Heights Road and I3odd Road. Costs for the trail are being
covered with M.S.A.. funds. The signal was installed as the result of a task force's
recommendation and the trail was also included with the project as a result of that task force's
recommendation. The task force's concem was for the Bridgeview Shores neighborhood.
They felt that to include a new signal at the intersection with a pedestrian cross walk and then
not provide for safe pedestrian access to the crosswalk from the Bridgeview 5hores
neighborhood was unwise.
The trail construction is to be totally on City right-of-way and will be screened from
the neighborhood by an existing double row of evergreens (see attached map). It is adjacent to
the backyards of the Islams, 810 Westview Circle and the Ruhlmans, 816 Westview Circle.
Both the Islams and Ruhlmans feel that the trail is unnecessary and that if it is constructed, will
invade the privacy of their backyards (see attached letters). Council considered this issue last
fall, however there was no urgency because the trail was not to be constructed until this
spring. Council delayed making a decision on the matter until later (see attached minutes).
5pring is rapidly appmaching and the City needs to make a decision soon on whether or
not to delete the trail from the contract.
I have notif'ied both of the affected residents by phone that this issue will be on
tonight's agenda and have sent them a copy of this memo informing them that Council will
discuss the trail this evening. Both families said they would attend the meeting. _
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review with the Islams and Ruhlmans their request to delete the bituminous trail from
the north side of Mendota Heights Road between Dodd Road and Westview Terrace and give
staff guidance on whether or not to delete it from the contract.

Dear Mr. Mertensotto:
�-�� � �, 9� �
.¢ , U - � yyv {'a..�
Thi� Ie�ter is a fallow-up to the two letters written ta Mr.
Bachelder and Mr. Danielson regarding the �:rail on ei�y
property at the back of our house, While awaitin� an
officia]. re�ponse on the matter from the City, we thou�ht we
t�ould write to you about aur reaction on the proposed trail.
As evident from our letters <copies attached? ta the Citx we
are totally opposed ta such a trail. We wou2d noi� have
bou�ht this hause if we had knawn that there would be a
trail a� the baelt of the hause to rob all of aur p�i.v�.cy.
Thi� also in effect wi11 lower our property value.
Last Ju].y we called ihe City ta get permis�ion to plant same
shrubs s.raund that area. We.gc�t the permission to plant,
which we did, Even at that time nothing was mentioned about
the trail, It sesms like the propcasal was passed in secrecy
so �here wauld be no objeetion.
i�e find it very ob,ieetionabl$ th�t the City would deeide an
the trail withaut having discussed thi� with �he p�operty
owners who are adverse3.y affected.
Moreover, there is already a trail on the other side af the
road and we do r�ot think pubiie maney �hou2d be wasted
bui].din� another one just �or ane familY.
We hope that yau will suppart our position and rule out the
decisian to bui.2d that trail. _
Sincerely.

Mr, James Danielson:
We would like to take this opportuniiy to thank you for
agreeing to come and see us on November 9, 1994 regarding
the trail on Mendota Heights Road.. We would also like to
thank Mr. Revin Batchelder for replying to our letter.
As evident frota our discussions with you letter earlier we
are tatally opposed to this trail. Mr. Batchelder in his
letter noted that ane of the residents of Brid�evievr Shores
is a member of the task force which formulated the proposa2
for the trail. Of course this resident has no prvblem
lobbying for the trail because it does not affect�his
property.
We would noi have a problem if this trail was in front of
our hause where we do not spend any time. But our house is
desigrted and built in such a way where all the activities
are at the back of the house facing Mendota Heights Road.
And there are large windows on that side of the home.
Hence this proposed trail system will rob us of our privacv
and useful usage of our property. It still amazes us to
think that we wtto are goic►g to be most affected by ihis
trail were not consulted and the decision was made by ihe
task force and residents in total disregard to our concerns.
It is our hope that when you come to visit us you
how a trail above the level of our houses in this
not onlv take our privacy away but in the procass
devalue our property. We are not ready to accept
the two. We moved to Mendota Heights from Eagan
commitment of being long term residents.

Dear Mr. Batchelder:
On Friday, October ].4, 1994, we talked to an engineer from the city regarding the traffc
ligbt at the intersectian of IIodd and Men�%t�a Iieights Raad. During the discussian, to our
suzprise, we fQund out that the city is going to build a bike trail. on the piece of land behind
our back yard. As we said thi.s was a big surprise as we wer� never natified about this. Uur
next door neighbor, Bazb Ruhlmann, has been here for aver two years and she was not
aware of this trail either. �
Bven thaugh ihe bike trail. will be on ciry property it is going to have a tremendaus irnpact
on the grivacy of the houses in this area. People biking and wallcing in the trail will have a
clear view af most of the �rooms and of course the deck areas.
Besides we believe this to be an unnecessary e�ense for the City of Mendota Fleights.
There is a trail on ihe other side and it is not inconvenient for us to crciss to is when we need
to. There is na need for another trail. .
As sta.ted earlier this is city property and it is at their disposat as to what they want to do
with it. But we believe our taac money can be better spent than to build a secand trail. We
certainly hope that the City Councii will reconsider their decision. If yau have any questions
please contact us at 683-2951.

Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Dear Mayor Mertensotto:
Ruhlmann
55120
We would like to express our opinion on the path being
proposed between Dodd Road and Westview Terrace on the North
side of Mendota Heights Road. The path would be adjacent
to the length of our backyard.
We learned about the path the day the city came out
to stake it out in the Fall of 1994. We feel the path was
just dumped on us. A member of the city council told us
that the path is for our neighborhood. But as we all know the
opinion of a few is not necessarily the opinion of the
majority. We were never notified or asked. We do not want it.
Secondly, we do not see a need for it. We were told that
the path was for young people to walk to and from St. Thomas
and Visitation. We have three boys who may attend St. Thomas
Academy, but since they would use it only a couple of years
and there is already a sidewalk on Mendota Heights Road
we cannot justify a new path being built.
Thirdly, the location for a path is
intersection of Mendota Heights Road and
is blind to cars due to a dip in Mendota
of the intersection. Now a path will be
same intersection which is also blind to
or joggers coming east on the path.

If we were alloweda request, we would recommend using
the money for a row of evergreen trees along the east side of

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Mr. Garry and Ms. Barbara Ruhlmann
816 Westview Circle
Mendota Heights, MN 55120
Dear Mr. and Ms. Ruhlmann:
Tha.nk you for your letter of October 21, 1994 expressing your concem about a proposed
trail along the north side of Mendota Heights Road that would abut your properiy. I
understand your concerns and this letter will attempt to address some of the issues raised in
your letter.
The trail that you have expressed concerns about is proposed to be installed in the public
right of way along the north side of Mendota. Heights Road from Dodd Road to the first
entrance to Bridgeview 5hores neighborhoad, which is Westview Terrace. It is proposed to
be an eight foot (8') bituminous trail that would be installed as part of the Traff'ic Signal
Project slated for Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road intersection. (Please see attached
map.)
The subject trail originated as a proposal to be included in the Mendota Heights Road/Dodd
Road traffic light project. The Dodd Road/Highway 149 and Mendota Heights Road Traffic
Signal Task Force is a group of local residents, school representatives and city officials who
have worked with the State Department of Transportation (MnDOT� to provide a traffic
signal for this intersection. The Task Force included the addition of this trail segment in the
traffic signal project in order to provide safe access to the City Trail system along Mendota
Heights Road to Bridgeview Shores residents. The existing trail along Mendota Heights
Road must switch from the south side of the road to the north side of the road as it crosses
Dodd Road, and the Task Force felt this was an unsafe maneuver.
On March 8, 1994, the City's Pazks and Recreation Commission considered this proposal in
terms of funding for the project. They felt that MnDOT should pay for the trail and that
City funds should not he used. MnDOT has since agreed to fund this portion of the trdil.
Work begins on the tiaffic light installation within a week, however, the trail segment is not
scheduled for construction until Spring. The Parks and Recreation Commission did not hold
a public hearing on this trail segment, as the Traffic Signal Task Force's proposal for this
trail had support from residents of Bridgeview 5hores who were lobbying for this trail. A
representative of the Task Force is a resident of your neighborhood.

MSP PLAN Council aclrnowledged a memo from Administrator Lawell and draft
� response to the MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan - Alternative
Environment Dacument.
Mayor Mertensotto reviewed the plan for the audience.
Councilmember Smith suggested additional points in the draft,
stating that MAC often talks about not putting noise where it has not
occurred before and that is exactly what they propose with the third
north parallel runway. She stated that the runway would
dramatically increase traffic to the city and would make it even
worse in areas that are already receiving air noise.
Administrator Lawell stated that the north south runway certainly
, opens new areas to noise as well as flying new portions of Eagan,
� Apple Valley and Burnsville. He further stated that he believes any
of the expansion options would impact new areas of the city.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the city start tallcing about
excessive noise as another category and point out that the south two
thirds of the city receives substantial noise as is substantiated by
ANOMS data. He stated that adding a third parallel ruaway would
only increase the burden and any plan to do such expansion would
expand the area of objection &om Mendota Heights residents.
It was the consensus to add a new section on excessive noise
exposure to the response and to direct staff to send the response to
the commission members in addition to the commission chair.
Councilmember Smith expressed concern over the noise contours,
stating that the LDN 65 used in 1992 is different &om what is in the
document. She stated that she would also like to learn more about
assumptions on air traffic.
MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD Councilmember Smith stated that she has spoken to residents in
TRAIL the azea of the Dodd/Mendota Heights Road intersection and there
are many who do not want or believe there is a need for a trail on the
north side of the intersection.

Public Works Director Danielson responded that when people reach
the signal lights they will need to cross the intersection and at the
signal task force meeting one of the members asked that the trail be
extended at least one block east of the intersection. He stated that it
seems that those who immediately abut the trail on the north side of
Mendota Heights Road object to the trail and since the extension of
the trail was to serve that area, there does not seem to be any benefit
to keeping it in the project.
Councilmember Smith stated that there is a cross walk &om north to
south and on the north side of the intersection, from east to west.
She stated that the concern had been that the residents of Bridgeview
Shores would not have access to the intersection without crossing
Dodd at a non cross walk intersection.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that the advantage of
doing the trail section from Westview Terrace on the North side of
Mendota. Heights to Dodd as part of this project is that it would be
funded by MSA. He stated that if Council wishes to delete the trail
section, the contractor would have to be notified.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested leaving the trail for the time being but
notifying the property owners that it would be a means of providing
a better crossing for all of Bridgeview Shores and at the same time,
asking the contractor to hold up on constructing the trail until at least
April or May to allow time for Council to meet with the property
owners in the spring.
ADJOURN There being no fiuther business to come before the Council,
Councilmember Koch moved that the meeting be adjourned.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.

Subject: Update from Dakota County HRA on Senior Iiousing
DISCUSSION
Ms. Kari Gill, Deputy Director of Dakota. County Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HI2A), will appear before the City Council on �esday evening to provide an
update on the progress of the Senior Housing project. The HRA is currently working on site
acquisition for the forty unit builciing which is slated for construction in 1995.
As a quick background, on May 17, 1994, following Planning Commission review
and recommendation, the City Council selected and prioritized three sites for consideration
and analysis by the Dakota County HRA. (See attached Apri119, 1994 and May 17, 1994
minutes.) These three sites, in order of priority are:
1. 5ite Number 6- South Plaza Drive Site
2. Site Number SA - Freeway Road Site
3. Site Number 4- Curley Neighborhood Site
Please see attached maps of the sites.
Consistent with the City Council's ranking, the Dakota County HRA has conducted a
site analysis of these sites wluch has resulted in their focusing on the highest ranked site, the
South Plaza Drive Site. This site appears to be most promising due to its low cost of
acquisition, its ready access to public transportation, nearby retail opporlunities and its
aesthetically desirable setting adjacent to Dodge Nature Center and Friendly Marsh Park.
The HRA has retai�ned a title compaay to sort out the property ownership on the
MnDOT right of way. A consulting azchitect has also ranked the South Plaza Drive Site as
number one for its site qualities and the HRA has a surveyor at work currently to determine
an appropriate pazcel size so that acquisition may occur. MnDOT has recommended
condemnation as the quickest method of acquiring this site, due to the history of the
underlying fee title owners.
City staff has met with Del Schwanz, surveyor, and Victor Zeuthen, architect, to
discuss zoning, utility locations, future roadway alignments and other site plan concerns as
they prepare a legal description for the South Plaza Drive site.
ACTION REQUIRED
Ms. Kari Gill, Deputy Director of HRA, will be present to provide aa update of the
pmgress on the Senior Housing project and to answer any questions that City Council may
have.

SE1vIOR HOUSING Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Lawell
regarding potential senior housing sites. It was noted that on April
19 Council had favored Site 6, located east of the Dakota County
Sta.te Bank, and Site Sa, located east of Dodd and north of Freeway
Road.
Councilmember Smith stated that she would support Site 6 as long
as it does not restrict future roadway planning.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she favors the Lexington/110
site as the third potential site.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to authorize staff to inform the
Dakota County HRA that Council's preferred sites for senior
housing, in following order of preference, are Site 6, Site Sa, and
Site 4.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY Council acknowledged a memo from Treasurer Shaughnessy
FRANSON/PERRON regarding purchase of two parcels of land, owned by the Franson and
Perron families, south of Acacia Boulevard, between Pilot Knob
Road and Highway 55.
Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Treasurer
Shaughnessy stated that the original city appraisal was $0.75 per foot
for parcel one and $0.65 for pazcel3. He explained that when the
appraisal was done, there were some restrictions on access to Acacia
Boulevard from parcel3, but those restrictions were eliminated
when Acacia was reconsh�ucted, and the city offered $0.75 per foot
for both pazcels. He informed Council that the property owners had
an independent appraisal done which valued the properiy at $1.25
per foot, which is also the price that United Properties received for
some of its land in the MAC azea. He stated that he has informed
the property owners that in the past Council has generally arrived at
a price somewhere between the square foot value in the city's
appraisal and the independent appraisal, and suggested $1.00 per
square foot. The property owners countered the offer with $1.10 per
square foot. Mr. Shaughnessy recommended that the property
owners be responsible for payment of pending assessments in
connection with the Mendota Bridge project and pro-rated payment
of this year's real estate taxes.

Mr. Glowa sta.ted that one of the considerations of TIF is being done
to promote the industrial district by creating businesses. He further
stated that the project would bring undeveloped land onto the tax
rolls.
Responding to Councilmember Huberts concerns, Councilmember
Smith stated that fhe request is for about 25% of the Associated
Bureaus TIF and the actual value of the project is about 25% of the
value of Associated Bureaus ($lmillion versus $4 million).
Mr. Glowa stateii that most of the projects United Properties has
developed with TIF in Mendota Heights are similar to BDS, stating
that as an example, Lennox had only 19 employees.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the proposed site is not a
desirable loca.tion given the older buildings across from it. He felt
that the TIF request is consistent with what Council has been
approving and that Associated Bureaus was extraordinary.
Mr. Glowa stated that he�will prepare a comparison of TIF project
use rarios in the industrial park.
SENIOR HOUSING SITE Council acknowledged a memo from Administrative Assistant
SELECTION Batchelder regarding the selection of preferred sites for the
proposed senior citizen housing facility. Council also acknowledged
a report from Ms. Kari Gill, Deputy Director of the Dakota. County
• HRA, regarding the number of Mendota Heights residents on current
senior housing lists, waiting lists for new buildings, the need for
senior housing in the city, and site selection. Ms. Gill was present
for the discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that since the Mendota Bridge will open
this fall Council will be implementing a study of the T.H. 55
corridor, and will conduct a workshop on the matter on Thursday
evening. He did not think that any site along T.H. 55 would meet
any of the criteria for senior housing. He pointed out that there is
land in the highway right-of-way on the north and south sides of
T.H. 110 at the Dodd Road intersecrion (sites SA, SB, 6 and 7). He
felt that a facility could be built on either side of T.H. 110 and still
allow options for a roadway design, and that the facility could be
shifted to the east on parcelSA.
Councilmember Smith stated that she thinks Council has a
commitment to keeping the right-of-way area free for other
purposes.
Administrator Lawell responded tfiat the building could certainly be
moved around on a site and that the site drawings were included in
�the agenda just to show that a building would fit on the sites.

April 19, 1994
Mayor Mertensotto staxed that a site he prefers is east and south of
the bank building on South Plaza. Drive (site 6). He stated that he
believes that this site and SA are in the best interest of the city.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she also prefers site 6 but that
she likes the site at Lexington and T.H. 110 also (site 4). Mayor
Mertensotto stated. that he does not see the Lexington site developing
as a senior housing site, and stated that this is the gateway to the city
from the west.
Councilmember Smith suggested that Council refine the sites at the
T.H. 55 workshop.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested delaying making a recommendation
on a third site until after the workshop and identify sites SA and 6
now a preliminary recommendarion with a formal response to Ms.
Gill by the third Tuesday in May.
Councilmember Smith asked how residents who are interested. in
senior housing go about expressing their interest and also asked what
the priorities are. She stated that Council is interested in
accommodating the needs of Mendota Heights residents, and from
what she understands, people from this area aze not given priority
for the Mendota Heights facility.
Ms. Gill stated that there is a Dakota County list and that there
would be no guarantee that someone would get into the Mendota
Heights facility. She explained that people could indicate that they
would like to be on the waiting list for the facility and that the HRA
does take applicaHons just for new facilities when they open.
TRAFFIC SIGNALS Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson regarding proposals received from traffic signal design
consultants for the Dodd Road/Mendota. Heights Road traffic signal
project.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what criteria a consultant uses for design
of turn lanes and synchronization of signals, etc.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that ultimately
Mn/DOT has jurisdiction, but through the process Council can make
its desires known and can make sure the city gets a signal light it
will be happy with.
Mayor Mertensotto stated. that the consultant should be advised of
Council's desires with respect to turn lanes, etc.
Councilmember Smith stated that one of her major concerns is that
Mendota. Heights is the primary exit from the southeast area of the
city going to the west and Council would be creating a condition that
could make a considerable delay for residents, given that there are
four traffic signals south of Mendota Heights Road. She was
concerned about the natural rerouting of traffic if delays occur. She

would result in the 1995 CDBG Program funding being reduced by
approximately 7.6% on a nationwide basis. It is not known at this

5UBJECT: Bjorklund Development
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Dave Bjorklund and Mr. Paul McKinley appeared before the February 7 and 21,
1995, City Council meetings to present the details for a seven lot subdivision of the 5wanson
property. The main issue addressed by Council to date has been concerning planning for
future development of the remai.ning undeveloped properiy surrounding the proposed
development. The Olins who own a large undeveloped parcel located to the west of the
Swanson property appeared at the February 7, 1995 meeting. They were uncertain as to how
the development affected their property and were given an opportunity to consult with a
planner. They returned to the February 21, 1995, meeting with a plan that showed two
development potentials, one for a long cul-de-sac (950 feet) and one for a connecting road
between the Bjorklund pmperty and Ro1f properiy through to Lexington Avenue.
The Rolfs, the neighbors located to the south of the Bjorklund development, attended
the February 21, 1995 meeti.ng. The road serving the Bjorklund development is located
partially on the Rolf property and the Rolfs will either need to agree to siga the plan as an
owner or deed the road right-of-way to Bjorklunds before the plat can be finalized. At that
meeting the Rolfs stated that they, as of yet, have not come to an agreement with Mr.
Bjorklund on their cooperation in the plat. Council therefore tabled action on the plat until the
right-of-way issue could be resolved with the Rolfs.
Mr. Bjorklund now reports that he has come to an agreement with the Rolfs and has
requested to he on the March 7, 1995, City Council agenda. He does not yet have a signed
agreement with the Rolfs, but will have one by tonight's meeting.
Once the area master planning issue is resolved Council needs to address the remaining
Planning Commission concerns/conditions (see attached memos dated Febniary 3 and 7,
1995).
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of this subdivision
subject to eleven conditions (see attached February 3, 1995 memo). I have also prepared a draft
Developer's Agreement that should be reviewed by Council for any changes, approval of this
development should be contingent upon execution of that agreement by the Developer.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review the proposed subdivision with the developer and then if Council desires to
implement the Planning Commission recommendation they should pass a motion approving the
preliminary plat and front yard variances for Lots 5 and 6 subject to the Planning Commission's
conditions, execution of the Developer's Agreement, Dakota County's approval for access, and
resolution of the right-of-way issue with the Rolfs.

Subdivision
Case No. 94-40
DISCUSSION:
Febniary 17, 1995
Mr. Paul McGinley and Mr. Dave Bjorklund .appeared at the February 7, 1995 City
Council meeting to present details for their Swanson Second Addition seven lot subdivision. The
main concern expressed by Council at that meeting was for providing for access for future
development of the remaining undeveloped parcels in the area, in particular, the Olin property.
Action on the proposal was delayed two weeks to allow time for the Olins to retain a land planner
for advice on development potential for their property.
The Olins have retained a land planner and have scheduled time to meet with City Planner
John Uban at his normal office hours on Tuesday, February 21st, to discuss their concerns. The
results of that meeting will be made available to Council on Tuesday evening.
Rolf/Illetschko Access
Negotiations aze currently proceeding between the Bjorklunds and the Rolfs to arrive at a
way to allow for a street that will serve both the Swanson Second Addition and Rolf properiy by
being constructed on the properry line. This agreement needs to be finalized between these two
landowners before this project can go ahead. Should negotiations fail, the City may have to
become involved in a condemnation action to acquire needed property for the roadway.
Because the new road will connect to Lexington Avenue which is a County road, final
approval for any road intersection with Lexington will need to be made by Dakota County. I
doubt if the County would allow a connection point at any place other than the one shown.
Plannin� Commission Conditions
Planning Commission Conditions No. 4, 5, 9 concern .a conservation easement, a slope
protection easement and tree preservation.
Conservation Easement
� The conservation easement condition came about out of a comment from Planner Uban's
report (see Page 3, Paxagraph 2, in his December 16, 1994 memo). Mr. Uban's reference to the
covenant or conservacy easement was related to restricting the development from further
subdivision of lots. Because of the layout of the lots further subdivision would be difficult
anyway. This restriction could be just included as a condition of Ciry approval of the subdivision.
Slope Protection Easement
There are some steep wooded slopes on this development. Slopes in excess of 18% are
alrea.dy prevented from being developed by the City's Subdivision Ordinance.
Tree Preservation
The City does not yet have a Tree Preservation Ordinance in place, in advance of that
ordinance, a conservation easement protecting certain treed areas could be required.
Variances
Variances need to be considered for Lots 5 and 6 because they do not meet the required
100 foot of frontage at the 30 foot setback. They do have the required fronta.ge if ineasured
further back than the 30 foot setback.
Center Island Monument
The developer proposes to construct a center island where his new street intersects with
Lexington Avenue. He proposes to have a monument installed within the island identifying the
neighborhood. This island and the monument need to have maintenance provided for by other
than City forces.
RECOMII�NDATION:
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of this proposal
subject to eleven conditions (see attached February 3, 1995 memo). I have also prepared a draft
Developer's Agreement that should be reviewed by Council for any changes and approval of this
development should be contingent upon execution of that agreement by the Developer.
ACTION REOUIItED:
Review the proposed subdivision with the developer and then if Council desires to
implement the Planning Commission recommendation they should pass a motion approving the
preliminary plat and front yard variances for Lots 5 and 6 subject to the Planning Commission's
conditions, execution of the Developer's Agreement, Dakota County's approval for access, and
resolution of the right-of-way issue with the Rolfs.

SIIBJSCT: Cable Television Related Issues
DISCiTSSION
Ms. Jodie Miller, Executive Director of the Northern Dakota
County Cable Communication Commission (NDC4), has requested time
on our March 7th agenda to discuss with the City Council two
cable television related issues. More specifically, these two
issues include 1) a Resolution approving the "Citivision Letter

FROM: Jodie M. Miller, Executive Direct
DATE: March 2, 1995
Re: Please include the following information on the "Citivieion Letter of
Agreement" in the Council packets. -
I understand that there have been some questions and concerns regarding the value
of the items in the settlement to NDC4 (and ita member citiea) as it compares
with the value of the changes in the Franchise Ordinance to Continental
Cablevieion. Please allow me to address both areas: ,
1) Cash value of the items in the settlement to NDC4 and its member cities
The cash value is estimated in the range of �80,000 to ;150,000, with the
additional added potential for future advertising revenues. Of course,
some of these items are easier than others to assign an exact cash value.
Referring to the items as listed and numbered on the "Citivision Letter of
Agreement" incl.uded with letter dated January I7,
1) Increasing the Access Grant by 3� per year, total cash value in
today's dollars = $40,062
2) Providing the Local Community News Program grant at $5,000 plus 3$
per year, total caeh value in today's dollars =�26,547
(If Continental elects to allow NDC4/NDCTV advertising rights, the
cash value ie potentfally much higher.)
3) A) Potentiai advertising revenues =�0 to �20,000
(VERY Difficult to predict at this time.)
B} Remote site switches = �1,500
C) Modulators = �6,450
D) Use of large-screen monitor =$0 to �3,375
(Continental does not currently own a working unit.)
E) Production of 30-aecond apots = at least �16,000
F) 800 cross channel apots per year = at least �8,750
G) Insertion of bill stuffers twice per year = at least �1,250
H) Complimentary cable service = �2,500
I) N/A (Work is already complete.)

Memorandum to Tom Lawell, City Adminiatrator, City of Mendota Heights
March 2, 1995'
Page 2
4) It is impoasible to estimate the value of the in-kind and monetary
contributiona that will be gained by cooperating to produce 1.5
hours of community programming per month. NDC4 and NDCTV will
benefit subatantially by increasing the amount of professionally-
produced local progracaming that has wide viewer appeal, in terms of
community support, corporate underwriting opportunities, and
visibility.
2) Caeh value of the changes in the Franchiae Ordinance to Continental
Again, referring to the items ae listed and numbered on the "Citivision
Letter of Agreement,"
5) Continental is released of Citivision requirements.
The position of NDC4"and af the Negotiating Committee was and is
that NDC subscribere experienced an obvious loss when Continental
diacontinued its "Citivision Channel 10" in April of 1993, laying
off its local origiaation staff and trading off its production
equipment in a deal with the City of St. Paul. However, the NDC4
Franchise did not specify measurable requirements for local
origination programming in terms of houre or number of programs to
be produced or dollars to be allocated for local origination
programming. In fact, our negotiating position hinged on one
sentence in the Memorandum of Understanding dated 5eptember 18,
1987: "Continental will insure that throughout the term of the
Franchise, its local programming developed in 5t. Paul, known as
Citivision will be carried on the Cable Communication System for
Northern Dakota County." Continental's position was that by sending
a St. Paul acceas channel or a shot of the Miesissippi River to
Northern Dakota County, they were in compliance.
6) Continental is given the opportunity to reproqram the local originatian
channel at its discretion (currently channel 43).
Again, it is difficult to place a cash value on a channel. Other
cable commissions and access corporationa have renegotiated channel
provisions for consideration ranging from reserved parking places in
the company parking lot to large cash settlements. Technology,
marketplace, political environment, and legal circumstances have
major roles in these types of exchanges.
In this system right now, the value of a channel is rapid].y
decreasing as advances in technology make it likely that digital
compression will multiply the number of channels that can be carried
on a single wire. (Fiber optic lines are being deployed in NDC and
will be "lit up" sometime in 1995. This is the first step toward
increased bandwidth apectrum.)
Another factor is NDC4's recent approval of a variance that will
allow Continental to provide a new digital CD-quality audio service
and add two or three additional video chann�ls in place of the FM
Radio Antenna service, which requires a much larger gortion of the
bandwidth spectrum than the digital audio service will.
I hope the above information is helpful to the Council in considering the
"Citivision Letter of Agreement." I invite you to call me at 450-9891 if you
have queations or comments. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Lawell:
The Northern Dakota. County Cable Communications Cammission (NDC4) has two

been under discussion since March of 1994. The Agreement requires
Continenta.l to provide several items ta NDC4 in return for an Ordinance
Amendment changing the franchise requirement for a Local Origination
channel and local programming produced b,y the cable company. Any
Amendmeni to the Franchise Ordinance must be approved by resolution by
five of the seven Member Cities. Council Members are encouraged to talk

2) Local City News Show Propasal
A committee of NDC4 Commissioners, NDCTV Board Memtiers, and sta,ff, has
been warking an a prapasal fcrr a lacal~cammunity news show {the proposed
title is "Insight Seven," denoting the seven cities tcy be featured. ) Most
of our neighboring citzes have such pragrams, providing much more
extensive television coverage of city events, people, and issues than
broadcast news. NDC4 is scheduled ta make a 10% Franchise Fee payment
to Member Cities by April 15, 1995. This payment will be approximately
$30,OQ0, divided hetween the cities according to cable subscribershig. The
NDC4 Cable Commission and the NDCTV Baard r�f Directors request that
Member Cities voluntari.ly invest thase franchise fee funds in the
praduction of a local community news shaw, ta inform, entertain, and
feature the residents, lacal organizations, and cable subscribers ai these
seven cities. The enclased iniarmation is provided to illusirate some of �he
plans and ideas created by the committee. We will encaurage participation,
ideas and su�gestions from our Member Cities, and we hope to wark closely
with cit,y staff and departments in covering topics that are important and
interesting to our citizens and viewers.
Please distribute this information ta your Cauncil, and let me know when these
items will appear an a meeting agenda. I will plan to attend the meeting ta
answer questions and pravide further information as needed. We would like to
share a sample video far the praposed news show with your Councii, and I can
pravide video equipment to play this ta.pe if necessary

Proposal-- Northern Dakota County Local Community News Program
January 1995
Proposed Title: "Insight Seven"
Format: * 30 minute pre-taped and edited program, twice per month.
• (Occasionally we may produce a LIVE episode when appropriate, if
, budget allows . ) -
* Each episode will be shot on location at a selected site in one of our
seven Member Cities. Sites will rotate throughout the cities, and will
be chosen as appropriate with the feature stories of each episode. Pre-
produced pieces featuring current people, places, events, and issues
of interest to citizens and cable subscribers of these seven cities will
be introduced and narrated by the program host from the featured site
of each episode.
Purpose: The objective of this program will be to present local stories that are
� important to local viewers, especially stories that aren't adequately
covered by other media.
Style: This program will be professionally produced to reflect life in these
seven eities . It will not be an attempt to imitate broadcast news
programs, but rather a unique local perspective that fills a void in
. current television offerings . All elements of the program will achieve
the highest possible quality using the best available equipment, staff,
� and other resources .
Ideas for segments :
* Feature stories highlighting local people and places
* Coverage of major events and activities in our community
* � City news, including coverage of local government and information from city
departments
* Localization of broader issues, exploring how national or state trends are
impacting people here in this community
* Local sports, recreation, and lifestyle
* Youth and school reports
* � Community calendar, promoting current civic, school, church, and social
events and projeets
* Interviews and viewpoints of community members
* Home video clips sent in by viewers
Budget:
Estimated staff hours per episode: 80 hours
Estimated cost per episode: $1,200 (personnel)
24 programs @ $1, 200 $28, 800
Videotape and supplies 1,700
Equipment purchases 2,500
Advertising and promo 2, 000
Estimate for 24 episodes in 1995 $35,000
�
Whp should cities invest cable franchise fees in a local community news prngram?
* Share and promote the positive aspects of life in our communities, and the
many stories that are never told by the major media!
* Add value to the local community programming line-up with a regular,
professionally produced program providing information and entertainment for
local viewers !
* Use cable franchise fees for a cable-related community. service, and help
generate more future franchise fees by enhancing the cable product and
increasing cable viewership !
* Viewer surveys in neighboring communities show that subscribers are very
interested �� ��� ��agra�nmang with locr�l ixiform�tion and entertainment, and
local community news programs rank even higher than city council meetings
in viewer interest! �
* The Citivision Letter of Agreement will provide a$5,000 matching grant from
Continental Cablevision if approved, making each city dollar worth $1.33 for
this project!
* Create a• regular - viewing audience and establish a base for soliciting
sponsorship dona.tions from local businesses, which will in turn:
* Provide local businesses with opporturuties to participate in local
community television!
* Bring in supplementary revenues and help the program to become at
least partially self-sufficient in the future!

NDC4 Executive Director
Jodie Miller said the programs

as the upcoming School District

If NDC4 can raise $15,000 in

Continental Cablevision will do-

NDC4 is asking•the seven

A similar presentation is

City Council meeting.
West St. Paul's City Council
supported the programming
concept but stopped short of al-
locating its share of franchise re-
funds. During a Committee of
the Whole meeting prior to the
council meeting, Councilmem-
ber Dick Vitelli voiced his oppo-
sition.

prior disagreements over the co-
operative franchise agreement.
Mayor Michael Bisanz agreed
with Vitelli and suggested the
city use its refund to pay for
council chamber renovations.
The council plans to discuss
the renovations at its next coun-
cil meeting, Feb. 27. Preliminary
plans call for removing the con-
crete wall in front of the council's
table. A new U-shaped table
would be erected which would
allow those attending meetings
to approach each council mem-�
ber more closely. Staff would be
seated on either side of the coun-
cil, instead of pushed into the
corner as they are now A podium
and microphone could be cen-
trally located in front of the table
for those wishing to address the
council. Council members say
the renovations are cable-relat-
ed because they will enhance the
quality of council meeting broad-
casts. New carpet is being con-
sidered as part of a capital im-
provement plan.
ing the news program averages
out to less than 8 cents per
household. There were 16,136
cable subscribers from the
seven-city area last year.
Representatives from NDC4
gave their pitch for the news pro-
gram at the Feb. 13 West St.
Paul City Council meeting. A
segment is planned toward the
end of the program called Com-
munity Clip of the Month in
which residents can submit their
own video clips for broadcast.
Advertising would be prohib-
ited but program sponsors could
be acknowledged during the pro-
gram, Miller said.
Also on Feb. 13, the city of
Inver Grove Heights indicated it
was supportive of the communi-
ty news program, but will wait to
commit money, said City Admin-
istrator Jim Willis.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
March 3, 1995
To: Mayor, City Council and City Adminis
From: Kevia Batchelder, Administrative Assis
Subject: T-Ball Fields at Resurrection Cemetery
DISCUSSION
The City Council had requested that staff seek permission from Catholic Cemeteries
to use a portion of Resurrection Cemetery for youth recreation use, specifically T Ball fields.
This request was made based on the Ciry's awareness of the need for additional youth
baseball/T-Ball fields in Mendota Iieights. On February 8, 1995, Mr. 7ohn Cherek, Director
of Catholic Cemeteries, informed the City that the Board of Directors had responded
favorably to our request to temporarily use the southeast portion of the cemetery to
accommodate T-Ball fields. (5ee attached letter from John Cherek, Catholic Cemeteries.)
Catholic Cemeteries has requested that the City prepare a site plan and draft a
tempoiary use agreement for their approvai. Guy Kullaader, Parks Project Manager,
provided some preliminary work on the layout of T-Ball fields at this location. Using this
preliminary layout work, staff inet with Mr. Charlie Godbout, Baseball Commissioner, and
Ms. Sue Hanson, T-Ball Commissioner, of Mendota Heights Athletic Association, to
determine their greatest needs for field space and amenities so that these new fields can meet
their needs.
Based on these discussions, Guy has prepared some options for improving this site,
including a two field option and a four field option. (Please see attached March 2, 1995
memo from Guy and site plans.) These estimates are based upon the need for a skinned
infield aad defined baseli.nes. MHAA iadicated a skinned infield is more important than a
turf outfield due to the age (� of the T-ball players and their physical ca.pabilities. MHAA
also indicated that benches are desirable to help the coach control the children. A minimal
backstop is needed, however, fencing is not required. (Please see attached letter from Sue
Hanson, T-Ball Commissioner.) MHAA representatives will be present 7�esday evening.
Timing is an issue because MHAA needs to finalize their schedules in the first week
of Apri1 and because Catholic Cemeteries needs to approve any proposed site plan. MHAA
would prefer four fields, however, they have indicated they are grateful for any assistance
the City can provide and two fields would prove to be very helpful. Their T-Ball program is
e�cpanding this year and it is anticipated there will be an additiona1100 players (8-10 teams)
that need new field space this year. Play begins the first week of May, however, MHAA
must set their schedules the first week of April. It is expected these fields will relieve the
r
.�
existing fields in our neighborhood parks.
The City Council should review the options and the cost estimates in Guy Kullander's
memorandum and pmvide direction to staff on proceeding with a Site Plan and Temporary
Use Agreement that could be presented to City Council for approval on March 21st. The
Special Parks Fund may be an appropriate funding source for any proposed improvements for
T-Ball fields. The Parks and Recreation Commission has not yet had an opportunity to
review this issue, due to its fast track, but can review it at their March 14, 1995 meeting.
The Special Parks Fund balance on 12/31/94 was $429, 964. The Capital
Improvements Plan identifies projects earmarked for 1995 in the Special Pazks Fund that
would total approximately $65,0{}0, if approved.
ACTION REQUIRED
Review the options for temporary T-Ball fields at Resurrection Cemetery, and if the
City Council so desires, direct staff to prepare a Site Plan and Temporaiy Use Agreement for
review and approval on March 21, 1995 and authorize the expenditure of Special Parks Fund
money to pay for T-Ball field improvements.

Mendota Heights City Council
1101 Victoria Curve
Mendota Heights, Mn. 55118
Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to you on behalf of the Mendota Heights
Athletic Association T-Ball program to urge you to approve the
development of the southwest corner of Resurrection Cemetery for
T-Ball fields. �SE
This year for the first time we are offering a Transitional
Division in T-Ball for seven year old boys and girls. We already
anticipate over 100 participants comprising eight to ten co-ed
teams.
Since this division would involve instruction in the
development of playin9 skills, and because safety is an issue,
skinned infields and/or defined baselines would be required.
Bench areas and small backstops would be an asset for this age
level. The development of these fields would require minimal
fencing. We also would need a portable toilet on site.
In order to meet the field requirements of the Transitional
Division, we had anticipated sharing fields currently to be used
by our Coach Pitch Leagues. We were not quite sure how that
would be managed, as there is a definite need for more fields.
It may require scheduling two games an evening on each field,
calling for later evening playing hours, and then there is;the
struggle with daylight and appropriate hours. By adding these
new fields, T-Ball wouldn't add to the squeeze that already
exists for these f ields .
Thank you very much for you time and attention to this
matter. If you need any further information, or if I can assist
you in anyway, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Sue Hanson
T-Ball Commissioner

Subject: South Kensington Park Fields
Discussion of Funds Earmarked for Power Lines
DISCUSSION
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed a request from Commissioner Libra,
on behalf of the soccer groups in the community, that the City consider releasing the funds
that had been earmarked for raising the power lines at Kensington Park. The soccer groups
are requesting that the funds be released so that they may be used for other improvements at
Kensington Park that they feel will be more beneficial to the overall quality of the soccer
complex than spending the money to raise the power lines. (Please see attached 7aauary 9,
1995 memorandum from Dave Libra. )
The Council will recall that referendum funds in the amount of $25,000 had been
earmarked for raising the power lines, if it proved necessary, and that the soccer groups
would use the fields for one year to determine if the overhead lines were problematic. The
saccer groups feel that raising the power lines would not alleviate the problem or improve
play on these fields. They feel that the money would be better used on improvements they
feel are necessary to complete the soccer fields. These other improvements aze:
1. Top Dressing of the Fields $ 10,000
2. Plantings to serve as Noise/Visual Buffers along the Freeway $ 1,000
3. The purchase of Youth Goals and Nets $ 4,000
' The Parks and Recreation Commission agreed that the City should fund and complete
the improvements that the soccer groups are proposing and release the money that had been
earmarked for moving the power lines. The Patks and Recreation Commission also felt that
if the development of North Kensington Park uses up the remaining referendum money then
these proposed 'unprovements at the soccer complex should be paid for out of the Special
Pazks Fund.
Attached you will find a January 13, 1995 memorandum from Guy Kullander that
highlights the status of the Special Pazk Fund, the General Fund monies allocated in the City
budget for 1995 expenditures, and the status of the Referendum Funds. Please see page two
of the attached February 9, 1995 memo to the Parks Commission for a detailed discussion of
Top Dressing of the Fields, Plantings for Noise/Visual Buffer and Youth Goals and Nets.
RECOMIVV�ENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend that
City Council approve the request to top dress the fields and to fix the trouble spots with
additional fill, seeding and sodding for aa esti.mated cost of $10,0(}0, to purchase $1,Q00 of
evergreen trees to be planted with the help of volunteer assistants, and to purchase additional
youth goals and nets for an estimated cost of $4,0{}0. The Commission recommended that if
there are not enough funds remaining in the referendum, that the Special Parks Fund be used
to complete these improvements in 1995.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the City Council desires to implement the recommendation of the Pazks and
Recreation Commission, they should pass a motion of approval to top dress the fields at
South Kensington Park and to fix the trouble spots with additional fill, seeding and sodding
for an estimated cost of $10,000, to purchase $1,000 of evergreen trees to be planted with
the help of volunteer assistants, and to purchase additional youth goals and nets for an
estimated cost of $4,000, and authorizing the expenditures from the Special Parks Fund, if
the referendum fund is not sufficient.

DATB: January 9, 1995
South Kensington Park provides Mendota Heights with two
full-sized soccer fields, as well as a picnic area, playground
facilities, and an open play area. The Mendota Heights Athletic
Association (MHP,A) soccer program (with nearly 600 participantsj
and the Sibley Sting travelling program (with at least 150
Mendota Heights players) have put these fields to good use over
the past year.
Following a
the MHAA and the
fields, and this
full season of play, I asked representatives of
Sibley Sting soccer programs to review the
Memorandum summarizes their comments.
� NSP POAER LINES. At the time that the final design and
#plans for the park were approved in January 1992, the potential
!problem with the NSP power lines at the Northeast corner of Field
2(see attached diagram) was recognized. The Parks and
Recreation Commission, after reviewing various options,
recommended that $25,000 be budgeted for the raising of the power
lines if necessary after actual construction and an analysis of
1the impact on Field 2. The City Council approved such
+recommendation. . .
; �One of the goals of the Bond Referendum was to provide one
�full�size (300' x 390') field and one large (240� x 360�) field
�for the community. Because of site limitations, the fields for
Kensington Park were compromised to two large fields (240' x 360'
'and 240' x 350�). The power lines further limit Field 2 and are
�an undesirable feature of the park.
ALTERNATE IMPROVEMENTS. Although the power lines are a
problem, the parents and coaches of both the MHAA and Sibley
Sting organizations recognized that the funds available from the
Referendum, the General Fund, and the Special Park Fund are
limited and should be spent prudently. Accordingly, they believe
that the community and its soccer programs would benefit more if
-1-
the funds earmarked for the power lines were instead used to
otherwise complete and improve South Kensington Park.
Specifically, the following alternative items are requested:
1) Top dressing. Both fields apparently were seeded over
primarily clay soil, with very little topsoil added. In
order to improve the quality of the drainage, levelling, and
grass for the fields, a program of adding a top dressing of
soil for several years would be recommended. The improved
quality of the fields should be a substantial, long-term
benefit for decreased grass maintenance, fertilizer, and
irrigation. At one time, Guy Kullander indicated an
approximate cost for this of possibly $10,000.
2) Plantinqs. Apparently some lilac bushes have been
planted along the fence toward 494. Unless a wood fence or
soil berm is possible, these plantings should be reviewed in
the Spring and supplemented by additional plantings to
provided a noise, wind, and visual buffer. A thick planting
of pine trees was suggested as an example. The trees would
also decrease the possibility of balls clearing the fence
and rolling onto 494. I assume these plantings would cost
less than $1,000.
3) Goals. Four new youth-sized goals would permit the use
of Kensington Park for both older and younger players in the
Fall and in the Summer. The goals could be used for play
across Field 2 in the Fall by the younger players, and could
be used in the area to the East of the fields during the
Summer. Currently, all of the goals owned by the City are
in use during the Fall (at Ivy Falls, Wentworth, Friendly
Hills, Mendakota, and Kensington). Field space is becoming
tight. At least six youth-sized nets and two�adult-sized
nets should also be ordered. The goals and nets should cost
less than $4,000.
4) ShootinQ Board. A shooting board (similar to a tennis
rebound board) should be constructed at the East end of the
fields to permit shooting practice. The structure can be
constructed rather inexpensively from timbers and plywood.
The above items should cost less than $25,000 and will
substantially enhance the quality of these fields for the
community. Accordingly, the above items have been requested for
1995 in lieu of any action on the power lines. �
MAINTENANCE ITEMS. The following additional items were
discussed as items that need attention as maintenance items for
the f ields :
1) The bleachers which were purchased for the Kensington
fields as part of the Referendum authorization should be
-2-
moved there next Spring.
2) At Kensington, there are low areas near the 494 fence
and on the field that should be filled and seeded this
Spring.
3) The area to the East of the Kensington fields has been
acquired by the City as an additional dedication, and
apparently will be graded and seeded. The area should be
drained away from the fields, and should be levelled to
permit use as a practice and play area.
! 4) The soccer field at Mendakota apparently has low areas
� at each end that need fill to improve drainage and then
either seed or sod.
i
SIIMMARY. I discussed the above items at a board meeting for
�the Sibley Area Sting on January 9, 1995, which was attended by
�about 25 officers, coaches, and parents. The members emphasized
,that South Kensington Park is a great addition to the community,
and the City Council, Parks Commission, and City Staff have done
�a fine job. They were unanimous in requesting that the above
�alternate improvements be implemented in 1995 in lieu of the
�raising of the power lines at the fields.
i
; Attached are signatures on behalf of the Sibley Area Sting
members in attendance who live in Mendota Heights, including the
President of the Sibley Area Sting, and the Soccer Commissioner
;for NIIiAA. Representatives of the two soccer programs would be
glad to meet with City Staff to discuss the above proposals and
;to appear at the next Parks Commission and City Council meetings.
� Most of the above alternate improvements were discussed as.
part of the capital improvement plan for the parks, but were not
pushed as priorities in recognition of the decision yet to be
made on the $25,000 of Referendum funds. We believe that using a
portion of the Referendum funds for these alternate improvements
will best accomplish the plans for South Kensington Park, avoid
the need for funding these improvements from other sources in the
�future, and will release the balance of the funds for other
�important park needs.

February 9, 1995
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kevia Batchelder, Administrative Assistant
Subject: South Kensington Park Fields
Discussion of Funds Pannarked for Power Lines
DI5CUSSION
At last month's meeting, Commissioner Libra, on behalf of the soccer groups in the
community, had submitted a memorandum requesting that the City consider releasing the
funds that had been earmarked for raising the power lines at Kensington Park. The soccer
groups are requesting that the funds be released so that they may be used for other
improvements at Kensington Park that they feel will be more beneficial to the overall. quality
of the soccer complex than spendi.ng the money to raise the power lines. (Please see attached
January 9, 1995 memordndum.)
The Commission will recall that referendum funds ia the amount of $25,000 had been
earmarked for r�ising the gower lines, if it proved necessary, and that the soccer groups
would use the fields for one year to determine if the overhead lines were problematic.
(Please see attached July 13, 1993 Park minutes and July 20, 1993 City Council minutes.)
As other projects were being considered in 1994, it became apparent that funds in the
referendum might run out before the year of soccer use could determine what actions were
necessary. At that time, the Commission assured the soccer interests that the commitment to
address this issue was still valid, even if other funding sources had to be used.
Attached you will fmd a Jaauary 13, 1995 memorandum from Guy Kullander that
highlights the status of the Special Pazk Fund, the General Fund monies allocated in the City
budget for 1995 expenditures, and the status of the Referendum Funds.
Staff has met with Mr. Keith Campbell, of Sting Soccer, and Commissioner Libra, of
MHAA Soccer, to discuss the requests for improvements at Kensington Pazk, as requested in
their memorandum. The results of this meeting are that the soccer groups would like to
request the following:
1. Top Dressing of the Fields
2. Plantings to serve as Noise/Visual Buffers along the Freeway
3. The purchase of Youth Goa1s and Nets
Guy Kullander will have cost estimates available on �esday evening.
Top Dressing of the I�elds
There are still a few bare spots on, or adjacent to, the soccer fields that require
additional fill, seeding or sodding. The soccer groups feel strongly that the quality of the
fields and the turf would be greatly improved with additional top dressing of the entire fields
and tilling/sadding of the trouble spots. The proposal is to correct the trou�le spots in the
early Spring prior to Summer play, and then to provide the top dressing in 5ummer between
the Sibley Sting summer season and the MHAA fall season.
It is estimated to cost ahout $10,000 for this two prong approach to turf quality on the
soccer fields. Guy will have more detailed numbers on �esday evening.
Plantings to serve as Noise/Visual Buffers along the I+�eeway
The soccer groups feel that action taken now to provide a thicker screen of
pine/spruce trees along the southern border of the park, will pay great dividends to future
users of the park in terms of softening freeway noise from I-494. Guy's estimates will be
base upon purchasing some 2' to 3' spruce trees, with volunteer help fmm the soccer groups
to plant the trees, to be planted along the southern boundary of the park. This original
purchase will be enhanced in future years with replacement trees that are currently budget
for. Staff will also appeal to MnDOT for additional help on their side of the fence. The
goal is to have a thick row of evergreen trees along the southern edge of the park at some
point in the future. �
We are estimating about $1,040 for tree purchase and Guy will have some quotes
from local nurseries about costs.
The purchase of Youth Goals and Nets
As outlined in their memo, the soccer groups would like additional youth goals to be
purchased to increase the number of games that may be played at Kensington Park.
Additional nets are also requested. This is estimated to cost about $4,000.
The total requested expenditures are roughly estimated to be about $15,000. It is
apparent that there may not be this much left in the Referendum funds, as the approved plan
for North Kensington Park will potentially use up to $41,000 of the remaining funds which
are estimated to be $55,120. The soccer groups desire that these expenditures be committed
in 1995 and not spread out over a number of years in the CIP.
ACTION REOUIRED
Discuss the requested improvements with representatives of the soccer groups,
consider funding options and make a recommendation to City Council.

Commissioner Libra introduced Pam 8rh3.ich, of the SibZey Sting
Soccer program. Commissioner Libra stated he had submitted a
memorandum to the Parks Commission at last month's meeting
requesting �hat the City consider releasing the funds from the
Park Referendurn that had been earm�.rked for raising the
powerlines at Rensington Park. Libra stateci the soccer graups
are requesting that funds be released so that they may be used
for other improvements at Rensington Park �hat they feel will
be more beneficial ta the overal.l quality of the soccer
complex than spending the money� ta raise the powerlines.
Commission.er Libra stated the soccer groups feel this would be
a prudent use of the funds in order ta complete the park and
soccer �ields. Libra stated the soccer fields have never been
quite contpleted and need some problem areas corrected

including new sod and top dressing certain areas. Libra
stated the soccer groups are also asking that the City begin
to plant evergreens along the southern boundary of the park
complex adjacent to I-494 to serve as .a visual, wind and-noise
buffer.
Libra stated he is confident that the soccer groups could find
many volunteers to plant small evergreen trees and that if the
City started now, perhaps in future years, these trees will
have matured to provide a nice screen along this southern
boundary. Commissioner Libra stated that the final item the
soccer groups would like to have purchased with the Park
Referendum funds are youth goals and nets for the soccer
fields. Libra stated that all these items are estimated not
to exceed $15,000.
Commissioner Libra stated the top soil was never adequately
completed at this facility and that these areas need to be re-
soiled and sodded to complete the existing facility. Parks
Project Manager Rullander stated he would recommend that the
Commission set a dollar cap, or a not to exceed amount, then
direct staff to begin the work or contracting necessary to
install the new soil and sod. Kullander stated he would like
to see the City's General Fund budget, as a maintenance item,
include top dressing for all of the fields in the City.
Kullander stated this would help the City park crews eliminate
the dips and the doodles and the sags on the existing fields.
Ms . Erhlich stated she was present to support this request for
improvements, instead of raising the powerlines option.
Commissioner Rleinglass inquired if the powerlines have
affected the play. Commissioner Libra stated no, and that in
an ideal world, the powerlines would not be above the soccer
fields,. however, the soccer groups feel that raising the
powerlines won't solve this problem. Commissioner Libra
stated that soccer groupa do not feel that the powerlines
require action, however, they would like to see the park
finished with their requests for turf improvements, plantings
and additional nets and goals.
Chair Spicer stated it sounds like the requested improvements
are items that the City would have to fund to fix anyway.
Parks Project Manager Rullander stated some settling has
occurred and that in areas good top soil is very thin and that
the grass preparation did not take very well in these areas.
Rullander stated that soccer play on wet fields can
drastically affect the turf conditions.

5UB�TECT: Watermain Condition in Friendly Hills
INTRODUCTION:
As a result of Councilmember Smith noting that there had been at least three watermain
breaks along Decorah Lane during the last year, Council asked me to investigate as to whether
any watermain improvements should occur with the Friendly Hills Reconstruction Project.
I contacted St. Pau1 Water Utility and asked them to research the history of the breaks
in the area and give me advice on what course of action Mendota Heights should take in this
case. Attached is a drawing that shows the break locations and a break report for the breaks
that have occuned on Decorah Lane. Below are my comments on the situation.
DISCUSSION•
There are two water pipe materials in place in the City, cast iron and ductile iron. Cast
iron is the older material and has been replaced recenfly (approximately 1969) with the much
more durable material, ductile iron. There are virtually no breaks occurring in the areas with
ductile iron pipe. Either materiai, given ideal conditions, should last for 100 years of service
or more.
Problems can occur, particularly in cast iron pipe, from the ground pressure exerted by
frost action, either when frost is going into the ground, or when its coming out is the most
common time for breakage to occur. These breaks usually occur where the pipe is installed
bridging over a pipe trench or where a rock is in place near the pipe and is pressed against it.
These two instances result in "shear" breaks. The other way pipe can fail is if it is lacated in
conosive soil and is rusting. Failures from this type of weakness usually result in"splits".
Four out of five of the breaks on Decorah are "shear" failures and the pipe has generally been
judged to be in good condition. The breaks that are occurring are therefore a result of frost
pressures on trench crossings or from rocks being pressed against the pipe.
The water pipe in this area was not installed by the City, it was installed by a developer
and was a private system with its own water tower until 1981 when Mendota. Heights closed
the well, removed the tower, and connected the private system into the City's system. At that
time St. Paul Water Utility agreed to take over the maintenance of the mains.
/ . e
St. Paul Water Utility has a main replacement criteria (see attached) and Decorah from
Apache Street to Pontiac Place does fit within that criteria to be replaced with repaving.
This affected area is about 900 feet long and the estimated replacement cost would be
approximately $45 per faot or $40,500. This amount is not budgeted for within the Friendly
Hills Project.
St. Paul Water Utility fixes all watermain breaks with the City at no.extra cost to the
City, as part of our agreement with them. St. Paul Water Utility would like to see Mendota
Heights replace this.segment with ductile iron pipe, but would not require it. They recognize
that these breaks are not as a result of weakened pipe because of corrosion, but as a result of
paor construction techniques over utility trenches or allowing rocks to remain in the bacl�'ill
tao near the pipe.
RECONIMENDATION:
Funding of watermain replacement in this project would be a problem, it would create
a new utility trench with the result of creating possible future settlement, and would further
inconvenience the residents using that length of pipe by having to be without water for certain
periods of construction. As you can see from the breakage map, there have been aa unusually
high number of breaks (for Mendota Heights) in this area, one way to be sure that the breaks
stop would be to replace the pipe with ductile iron pipe. The decision is kind of a toss up with
no clear answer. Since these breaks are not caused by a deterioration of pipe, it is impossible
to predict if future breaks will occur. The City had the same situation on Chippewa Avenue
when we resurfaced those streets about ten years ago, we decided not to replace the pipe and
we have not had a break since.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review the situation and give staff guidance on how to proceed.

MAIN REPLACEMEPIT CRITERIA 02/18/94-
In accordance with AWWA Guidance Manual "Water Main Evaluation for
Rehabilitation/l2eplacement" and construction cost esiimates, the Saint Paul Hater
Utility has adopted main replacement criteria as set forth below. .-
Using average construction and repair costs a main break frequency factor is �
calculated at which it becomes cost-effective to replace a main rather than
continue to repair the main. This criteria is illustrated in calculations below.
Restoration by Water Utility will mean that the Utility did its own excavation
and street restoration. Restoration by others will mean that the Utility
contracted the excavation work and street restoration Kas done through a project
at no cost to the Utility.
Additional evaluation criteria: main break data revieued annually with main(s)
added to list (if necessary); recently paved streets are given exemption for five
years; and on questionable mains the Utility Kill do coupon testing for pipe•
corrosion and/or soils testing to determine soil corrosiveness.
The following criteria is used to calculate this frequency factor:
length of main segment - 600 feet •
useful life of C.I. main - 70 years
Iength of study - 10 years
frequency factor = number of breaks/600 feet/10•years
The Saint Paul Water Utility uses a frequency factor of 2.6 breaks per 600'
street block, and 1.2 breaks per 600' street block for paving areas as shown in
the following example:
Illustration
cost of main relay (8"):
restoration by Water Utility - $75/ft.
restoration by others - $35/ft.
cost of break repair - $2,500
Restoration bv Water Utilitv
(600 f t.) ($75/ft.) _$45,000 cost to relay 600' of main (8")
($45,000)/(70 yrs.) _ $642.86 per year
($642.86/yr.)/($2,500/break) = 0.26 breaks per 600' per year
(0.26 breaks per 600' per yr.) (10 yr.) = 2.6 breaks ver 600' per 10 yrs.
Restoration bv Others which includes work done in coniunction With sewer
separation. repaving. etc.
(600 f t.) ($35/ft.) _$21,000 cost to relay 600' of main (8")
($21,000)/(70 yrs.) _ $300.00 per year
($300/yr.)/($2,500/break) = 0.12 breaks per 600' per year
(0.12 breaks per 600' per yr.) (10 yrs.) = 1.2 breaks ver 600' per 10 vrs.

FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Direct
Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assist�
SUBJECT: Tree Preservation Ordinance Review
DISCIISSION
The Planning Commission submits the attached draft of a Tree
Preservation Ordinance for Council comments prior to them
conducting a public hearing. After the Planning Commission
meeting, staff researched the requirements for City adoption of new
ordinances and discovered that there is no requirement for the City
to conduct a public hearing (a public hearing is required only when
amending an existing ordinance).
Upon consulting with Planning Commission Chair Dwyer, it was
felt that, even though no requirement exists for a hearing, one
should be conducted anyway. Several Planning Commissioners had
consulted with other residents when reviewing the ordinance and
found unfavorable responses. A public hearing would allow for any
of their objections to be heard before final adoption of the
ordinance by the City.
Moratorium
The Planning Commission feels that final adoption of this
ordinance may be several months away because of wording changes and
publication requirements. In the interim, the Planning Commission
recommends adoption of the attached moratorium. The Planning
Commission recommended that the moratorium be established by
ordinance. Moratoriums do not need to be established by ordinance,
and if they are, it is cumbersome to rescind them. If a moratorium
is desired, staff recommends that it be by resolution.
RECON�lENDATION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to submit the
attached Tree Preservation Ordinance to Council for review and
comment in anticipation of conducting a public hearing at their
March meeting to receive comments from interested residents. The
Planning Commission also recommends that Council adopt the attached
moratorium to be in effect in the interim.
ACTION REQIIIRED
Review and comment on the attached Tree Preservation Ordinance
and then if Council desires to implement the Planning Commission's
recommendation, order a public hearing to be conducted by the
Planning Commisaion at their March 28; 1995 meeting. Council also
needs to consider adoption of the attached moratorium that would be
in effect in the interim.

SUBJECT: Athletic Stadiums - Zoning Ordinance Amendment
DISCIISSION
At the request of City Council, the Planning Commission has
been considering appropriate changes to the Zoning Ordinance to
provide better control and standards for Athletic Stadiums. The
need for these Zoning Ordinance revisions became appar.ent during
the approval of a new athletic facility for St. Thomas Academy.
City Council specifically provided direction that the new
Ordinances should address proximity to residential neighborhoods,
artificial lighting, parking and traffic, noise, seating capacity,
hours of operation and aesthetic concerns. The Planning Commission
has discussed this item at their December, January and February
meetings and has proposed draft Ordinance language for Council
comment. (Please see attached draft Ordinance).
Any Zoning Ordinance amendment, such as this, requires a
public hearing at the Planning Commission. They have forwarded
this draft Zoning Ordinance amendment to the City Council for
comments in anticipation of conducting the required public hearing
at their March meeting. The Planning Commission has addressed each
of the issues Council wanted reviewed. The Planning Commission has
also included a requirement for annual licensure for athletic
stadiums.
RECONIl�2ENDATION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to forward a
draft Zoning Ordinance amendment on Athletic Stadium standards for
City Council comment . They are also recommending that City Council
order a public hearing for March 28, 1995 at 7:45 p.m. to allow for
public review of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment. '
ACTION REQIIIRSD
Review the proposed Ordinance Amendment and provide comments.
If Council desires to implement the Planning Commission
recommendation, they should pass a motion to order a public hearing
for March 28, 1995 to consider this Zoning Ordinance Amendment.

Athletic Stadiums Ordinance
Review and Direction
C. John Uban
The Council has also directed the Commission to look at the issue of Athletic Stadiums in
Residential Districts. The St. Thomas Academy Stadium was recently constructed and there
may be more stadiums proposed for the school faciliries in the City.
The information provided in this report is for your general information. The Commission should
be prepazed to discuss these issues and give direction to City staff so that ordinance language and
proposed license forms can be prepared for a future meeting. Below is a list of issues to
consider when drafting an ordinance.
DISTANCE
How far from existing residential areas should the stadium be located. The intent of this
provision is to minimize the impact of the stadium on adjacent residential areas. Ordinances
have ranged from as low as 25 feet. There is sentiment in the City to have it much further, as
high as 1,000 feet. This distance makes it very difficult to locate an Athletic Stadium, especially
if it is part of an established school campus in a residential area. One recommendation is that
Athletic Stadiums be located no closer than 350 - 500 feet from a residential area.
0
December 20, 1994 Athletic Stadium Qrdinarcce �ackground Page 2
LIGHTING
Ensure that lights hav.e a minimal impact an adjacent residential areas. Mast ordinances require
that there be adequat.� buffering and the use of lights that maintain the light on the site. L?ue to
their very nature, it is very difficult ta cantrol athletic stadium lighting off-site. It may be
useful to require a"lighting license" so that the City may have some contral over the location,
number of events, and intensity of the lighting used. The following standards may be
appropriate: , .
All e�ter•iar lighting shall be designed and arranged so as io not direct any
illumination upon or inta any contiguous r�esidential districts.
No �rterior lighting shall be arranged and designed sa as ta create direct
viewing an,gle.s of the �1lurainatiQn saurce bygedestrian or vehicular tra, f�e in
public right-af-way. � �
Lenses, dejTectors, shield, louvers and prismatic control devices shall be usPd to
eliminated' nursance and hazardvus lighting.
Reflected glare frnm ezterior lighting shall not be direeted inta any adjoining
property. Reflected gXure vr spill light mury not �xceed U.5 foot candles as
rneasured on thegroperty h7�e when abutting residential land.
Note: For compazison purposes, the full moon has been measured as pmduating light af
appraximately 0.21 foot candles to an observer on earth.
.,.
Ensure that there is adequate parking for everyane who attends events sa that there is no or littte
pazking an adjacent residential streets. (Typical Standard is 1 space far every 3 seats}
TRAFFIC
Facility must be sited such that traffic remains an arteriats and collectors. (This is typieaily done
by requinng that site be Iocated an a arteriai street or identified majar thoroughfare.)
PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM
Ensure that P.A, has a minimal impact on adjacent residentiai areas, This can be accomplished
through the use of buffering, the use of a number af smalier, quieter speakers that are Iocated
closer to the crowd as opposed. to one or two speakers used for the entire sta:dium, distance fram
residential area, and other criteria on the location of speakers as they relate to adjacent
residential areas.
✓ • C�.
December 20, I994 Athletic Stadium Ordinance Background Page 3
AMOiTNT OF SEATING
What is an adequate amount of seating. This depends on the use and type of stadium. High
School football stadiums typically need seating for the student body, school staff, parents, and a
. small visitor section. Not all in attendance need seats as milling around and standing adjacent to
the bleachers is also common. The City may have to work with school officials to determine
proper amount of seating. Once this amount has been established, include it as one of the
Conditions in the Conditional Use Permit. '
PERMITTED TIMES FOR USE
Should stadium only be used for intended events and practices? Again, the City may have to
work with schools to determine what events are envisioned for the stadium and list those events
in the Conditional Use Permit, with practices allowed as well. Questions to ask include (a) are if
the stadium is to be used for graduations, (b) band practices, (c) night practices under the lights,
(d) what are the sports to be played there, and (e) what aze the potential number of home games.
��: � ; �
Ensure that there are adequate restroom facilities, landscaping, buffering, and security fencing.
Restrooms Require permanent restroom facilities or that portable facilities be located in
a well designed permanent structure.
Landscaping Require additional landscaping, including the use of trees and bushes on
the site perimeter to help control noise.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Building Construction
Requirements in Industrial and Business Zone
Paul Kaiser, Fire Marshal, has requested that the Planning
Commission and City Council consider a change to the Zoning
Ordinance that would upgrade the requirements for structural
materials and construction for all buildings in the "B° and nIn
Zoning Districts. Mr. Raiser is concerned about wood frame
construction for commercial and industrial buildings, such as the
recently built Heritage Inn. (Please see attached Planner's
Report ) .
Mr. Kaiser is proposing that Section 4.17, General
Requirements for the Business and Industrial Zones be amended to
add a paragraph requiring all buildings in the "B ° and "I ° zones to
be built with Type III construction. Basically, Type III construct
is steel reinforced, concrete, masonry or an equivalent or better.
The Planning Commission felt this was an appropriate change.
United Properties has submitted a letter in opposition to this
proposed requirement. United Properties feels that fire and
building codes provide adequate fire safety protection and that
this revision to the Zoning Ordinance may limit the land uses.
(Please see attached letter from Mr. Dale Glowa).
RECONIl�iFsNDATION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to forward a
draft of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment to City Council for
comment. The recommendation also requests that City Council order
a public hearing for the March 28, 1995 Planning Commission
meeting, as required for all Zoning Ordinance Amendments.
ACTION REQIIIRED
Consider the draft Amendment to Section 4.17 of the Zoning
Ordinance and provide any comments or direction to the Planning
Commission. If the Council desires to implement the recommendation
of the Planning Commission, they should pass a motion to order a
public hearing for March 28, 1995 to consider this Zoning Ordinance
Amendment.

RE: PROPQSED ORDtNANCE CHANGE
Dear Kevin:
We are in receipt of the proposed zoning amendment as it relates to building canstruction
requiremen#s in #he indust�iat and business zones. It is uniikely that United Praperties wi11
have a representative present tonight at the Planning Commission meeting, therefore we
feit it imperative to submit this letter expressing our aan�ems for #he proposed changes.
We share #he City's concem for f�re safety within its commurirty. Hawever, we believe
that #he elimination of Type V matecials is unnecessary. It seems ta us that suitable fire
protection features currentiy exist making wood structure buildings safe. We assume that
the City wll! continue to allow apartment camplexes to be developed withln its commun�ty
which must meet minimum fire prQtection standards. Aren'i the standards similar for
cer#ain !ow-rise mofe!lhote! projects, restaurants, and smal! retail strip shopping centers?
United Progerties' cxancem is that you are unnecessarily impacting the �9endota Heights
Business Park sites that are iikety to be developed with commerciai properties. This timi#s
our ablEit�r to market land and attract desirable b�sinesses to Mendota Neights.
We respec�#ully request ihat tt�e propased ordinance changes be rejected and instead,
rely on the fire codes as it relates to specific constructivn types.
We thank you for your cansideration of our opinions.
