GENERAL PiTMP Council acknowledged a memo from Administrative Assistant
Batchelder regarding a request from General Pump for a shared
Page No. 4215
November 15, 1994
driveway, along with letters from Joseph D. Zwak, legal counsel for
General Pump, and Del Erickson, azchitect, and a proposed easement
agreement. Mr. Erickson and Mr. Zwak were present for the
discussion. � -
Mr. Erickson reviewed the General Pump site plan for Council and
the audience.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that at the last meeting Council had
expressed concern that the city allow the maximum development
area on Lot 4 and at the same time General Pump was to proceed to
put as much of the driveway easement as possible on Lot 3 without
negatively affecting the grade into the parking lot and terminal. He
stated that the revised site plan shows the elcit for both lots so that
there is only one curb cut starting on the centerline and tapering
back.
Mr. Erickson responded that the driveway is not within any of the
developable area of either lot and that he proposes to move the
driveway so that the easement would not be more than ten feet onto
Lot 4 and shift the driveway so that it is only a driveway for a
distance of seven feet. He explained that the plan, which has a drive
location difference of about five feet from the first plan, gives Lot 4
the potential of developing directly off the drive and still preserves
adequate space for grade changes for Lot 3.
Mayor Mertensotto sta.ted that the easement document reflects a
condition of approval that there will be no variances requested or
granted for Lot 4 from the setback on T.H. 55 and that the future
owners be put on notice that no hazdship existed except for any
hardship created by the request for shared driveway.
Councilmember Smith asked if there should be a variance granted
for the shared driveway for Lot 4 as well as Lot 3.
Mr. Zwak stated that all discussions before the Planning
Commission included the drive being on Lot 4 also even though no
action was taken on a variance for Lot 4.
Councilmember Smith responded that the understanding of the
Planning Commission was that the lot line was at the south edge of
the driveway rather than straddled.
Mr. Zwak stated that there was confusion at the last meeting and that
he felt that the commission understood that the easement would
straddle the lot line of Lot 4 as well.
Page No. 4216
November 15, 1994
Mayor Mertensotto stated that procedurally, when the grading
permit was issued it was stated there would not be any changed
needed and it was discussed that it would be perhaps better to shaze
the driveway to improve the grade situation to the parking area. He
fiarther stated that he believes Council asked Mr. Zwak to use his
best effort to put the drive on Lot 3. He cautioned Mr. Zwak to take
the gas line and all other easements into account because of their
impact on development of the lots. He stated that the applicant will
need driveway setback variances for both lots and will also need a
10 foot sideyazd setback for the parlting area to improve the truck
turn around azea and a sign setback variance.
Councilmember Smith stated that Council had approved a variance
for the rear lot line before and it is not clear that this encroaches onto
the setback area. She asked if that variance will be needed.
Mr. Zwak responded that it will, as it enables back in movement
from the east.
Councilmember Smith informed Mr. Zwak that the site plan will
have to be amended to the configuration that was shown when
Council granted that variance.
Mr. Erickson stated that the setback will vary from 10 to 20 feet -
the 20 feet being at the edge of the truck dock.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what right the future owner of Lot 4 has
for access onto the property. He felt that access should be anywhere
along the driveway after passing the General Pump pazking entrance.
He suggested that a condition should be added that Lot 4 shall have
access to the shared common driveway at any point equal to or north
of the driveway access to the parking lot for General Pump and that
the site plan be so adjusted for file purposes.
Councilmember Smith moved to approve a driveway setback
variance for Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Northland Plaza to allow a
shared driveway, a ten foot sideyard setback variance for the parking
area to unprove the truck turn around area, and a twenty foot front
yard sign setback variance with the following conditions: a) that the
applicant file the easement which establishes the shared driveway
with the understanding that should the applicant desire to use the
other parcel, a vacation should be sought; b) that no variances will
be allowed along Highway 55 for Lot 4 due to the conditions created
by the shared driveway; and c) that the plan submitted this evening
be revised to show that Lot 4 shall have access to the shared

common driveway at any point equal to or north of the driveway
access to the General Pump parking lot revised to show the tntck
turn around.
Councilmember Koch �seconded the motion.
Council directed Genera.l Pump to file the easement and submit a
copy of the recorded document to the city.
PRIME NET SITE PLAN/TIF Council acknowledged a letter from Mr. Dale Glowa requesting
approval of an alteration in the approved site plan for PrimeNet Data
Systems to reconfigure the pazking layout. Council also
acknowledged an associated report from the Administrative
Assistant.
Mr. Glowa reviewed the modifications, stating that the request is
driven by the desire to save as many existing trees as possible. He
explained that there aze two alternatives (A and B), and that the
preferred Alternate (B) requires a curb cut from Pilot Knob Road.
He stated that if tlus alternate is not approved, the other alternative
would be to have a circulaz drive to the north pazking lot. He
informed Council that he has discussed the curb cut with Dakota.
County and their response was that since Mendota Heights will take
over Pilot Knob Road when construction is completed they would
defer a decision to the Council.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels multi-level parking lots are a
catastrophe in the Minnesota climate and he would prefer to see a
single level parking lot.
Mr. Glowa responded that the only affect the multi-level lots will
have from a risk standpoint is that there will be a series of stairs
from the south parking lot to the building, but they will be well
maintained. He explained that because the site is 20 feet lugher
from the north properry line to the south property line, an added curb
cut to the south property line will keep it at a level, flat elevation and
create a safer condition.
Councilmember Smith asked the status of Victory Avenue.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that initially the
developer felt that he would need to have Victory combined with the
PrimeNet site but upon further consideration found it was not
needed. He stated that he anticipates that a vacation of Victory will
be requested in conjunction with the development of the property to
the north. He informed Council that he understands that United
Page No. 4218
November 15, 1994
Properties reserved the rights to the Victory right-of-way at the time
they transferred the property to PrimeNet.
With respect to tax increment financing, Treasurer Shaughnessy
informed Council that the dra.ft agreement which was submitted with
the agenda has been revised.
Acting City Attomey Evan Coobs explained that changes in the dra.ft
were requested by United Properties, and the major issue is that
United Properties has requested that they be permitted to transfer the
property after commencement of the lease to PrimeNet. He stated
that they propose to sell the fee interest but PrimeNet must remain
the lessee of the properly in order to receive the pay-as-you-go.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council has restricted transfer in all
other TIF agreements.
Mr. Glowa responded that in this case, the TIF goes directly to the
tenant with the condition that PrimeNet remains as the tenant paying
the rent. He sta.ted that PrimeNet is the only beneficiary since they
are paying for the improvements. He explained tha.t PrimeNet will
not be purchasing the property on completion of the building but
rather has a long-term lease and in order to accomplish the financing
United Properties holds the interest. He stated that the language in
the agreement was shuctured such that if PrimeNet defaults in
paying taxes the tax increment ceases - the taac increment benefit
would be gone because PrimeNet must be the tenant by condition of
the agreement.
Attorney Coobs sta.ted that in concept the city would be letting
�� United Properties sell fee interest in the property but tax increment is
conditioned upon PrimeNet keeping the taxes current and remaining
the tenant.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he would like to review the revised
draft of the agreement before taking action.
Mr. Glowa asked if Council could give approval conditioned upon
the language being satisfactory to Council, stating that contracts for
the sale of the property will occur before the next Council meeting.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council should establish the fact
that the agreement meets the conditions set by Council and if the
benefit is going only to the tenant the situation is the same as usual
since the property owner does not gain from the tax increment
except in aiding to develop the property. He suggested that the
Page No. 4219
November 15, 1994
matter be tabled�to the December 6 consent calendar and if Mr.
Glowa runs into problems of forfeiture on the purchase agreement a
special meeting could be called.
Administrator Lawell informed Council that the proof of pazking
issue has been satisfied in tlie revised site plan for PrimeNet.
Responding to a question from Councilmember Koch with respect to
landscaping, Mr. Glowa stated that he will submit the landscaping
plan for Council review within the next few weeks.
The Council directed Public Works Director Danielson to review the
storm drainage plan for the two pazking lots to deternline whether
the plan meets the needs of the area and the two parking lots.
Councilmember Koch moved to approve the revised site plan for
PrimeNet dated November 4, 1994, approving Option B, with three
curb cuts on Pilot Knob Road, and to table action on the TIF
agreement to December 6 with the understanding that if United
Properties comes into a forfeiture condition, a special Council
meeting will be called.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.

CASE NO. 94-25, MENDOTA Council acknowledged an application from Mendota. Homes for
HOMES rezoning and conditional use permit for planned unit development,
along with associated staff reports, a declaration of covenants and
restrictions and homeowners association bylaws. Mr. John Mathern,
from Mendota Homes, was present for the discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended denial of the application and the Council
has complete documentation on the denial. He stated that there is
question as to the density of the project. If Mr. Mathern is
proposing to have day care on one acre and 36 units on the
remaining nine acres he exceeds the ordinance requirements and also
exceeds the impervious surface maximum limit of 25%. He
informed the audience that the major controversy is over a day caze
facility to serve 117 children. Mayor Mertensotto stated that there is
some disagreement as to the opinion of the traffic engineers that
much of the traffic to the day care will come from existing traffic on
the access roads. He informed Mr. Mathern that the city has
independent evidence that the day care could generate up to 300
additional trips per day at the already busy intersection of Mendota
Heights Road and Dodd Road. He explained that the concern over
Page No. 4220
November 15, 1994
existing traffic prompted Mn/DOT to install traffic controls at the
intersection. He recommended that Council accept the findings of
the Planning Commission and support its recommendation for
denial. He stated that the townhouse units aze in compliance for a
ten acre site but the impervious surface and density must be
corrected and the child care facility will need to be eliminated in
order to meet ordinance requirements. He recommended denial of
the conditional use permit and adoption of the Planning Commission
findings and recommendations and further recommended that
Council indicate to Mr. Mathern that one of the most objectionable
parts of the proposal is the day care center. He stated that Council
could deny the application with the condition that Mr. Mathern be
allowed to come back with a revised plan for single level townhouse
units consistent with the zoning and elimination of the day care
center if the plan meets the requirements for density and impervious
surface. He explained that Mr. Mathern would then not have to
submit a new application and fee and would only need to return to
the Planning Commission for the final plat.
Mr. Mathern stated that he has no objection to the recommendation.
He stated that his original application requested one level town
house units and some two story units and that he would like to have
to ability to build two level units by the pond.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the Planning Commission was
most in favor of single story units and recommended berming along
the freeway.
Mr. Mathern stated that he understands that he must adhere to the
impervious surface requirements but that he would like some leeway
in using two story because some buyers will look for two story units.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that in past discussions Mr. Mathern
had indicated that the development would primarily be of interest to
empty-nesters and it appeazs that low-profile units are most desirable
to the Planning Commission. He stated that if Mr. Mathern
proposes two story units he will be required to return to the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Mathern responded that he would then withdraw his request for
two-story units.
There being no further discussion, Councilmember Smith moved to
deny the rezoning and conditional use permit and adopt the October
25, 1994 Planning Commission findings and recommendations and
its entire record on the application with the condition that the
Page No. 4221
November 15, 1994
applicant may retiun with a revised application for single story
townhouses and a plan that meets the impervious surface
> requirements without additional filing fee or appearance before the
Planning Commission except for plat approval.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

ASSESSMENT WAIVER Council acknowledged a letter from Mr. Michael Kurtz requesting
waiver of a portion of a creek realignment assessment on a pazcel of
property located on the northeast corner of Marie Avenue and Dodd
Road. Council also acknowledged a report from Assistant
Batchelder. It was noted that Mr. Kurtz also requested a front yard
setback variance to a11ow construction of a home on the property.
Mr. Kurtz informed Council that he has a purchase agreement with
the Dakota. County State Ba�k, which has foreclosed on the
property. He explained that the lot appears to have been a problem
for many years and several developers have tried to develop it. He
stated that several years ago the city relocated the creek at the
request of a developer who wished to create three buildable sites on
the property. The developer did not properly fill the azea between
the old and new creeks and the water want over the banks of the
creek, leaving only one site buildable. He stated that the single site
would be about 30 feet deep and 85 feet wide and would need
wetlands and front yard setback variances. He informed Council
that he would put a conservation easement on the remaining 320 feet
of the lot and leave it natural - the home owner would own the land
but would never touch it. He stated that he is asking for a single
home site with a conservation easement and variances and the city
waiver of two-thirds of the $21,899 assessment.
Administrator Lawell stated that the request is before Council this
evening for concept review and consideration of the assessment
request. He informed Council that the matter has not been before
the Planning Commission for consideration of the variance or
wetlands permit because staff felt it was pointless to bring the matter
to the Commission if Council is not willing to grant the assessment
waiver.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels the only way Council should
forgive any of the assessment is if it feels the lot is buildable. He
reviewed the history of the lot and creek relocation, explaining that
in order for the lot to be buildable, the owner at the time requested
that the creek be relocated to its present location. He stated that as
he understands it, it is not a question of not putting in enough fill but
Page No. 4222
November 15, 1994
rather a question of even though the creek bed is serving the
property there is water leaching in and creating a problem in the
front of the property. He stated that the home owner next to the lot
indicated to him that he had a problem when he constxucted his
home and compaction cost him $12,000 yards before he could put
down a foundation. That home was allowed to be constructed in
front of the normal setback because of the water and the owner did
not feel safe in putting in a permanent driveway until two years ago.
He stated that Council is aware of the problems with the lot but that
if the neighbor is correct that water is coming through and Mr. Kurtz
builds an 80 by 35 foot home on the lot it would be nearly on top of
the wetlands.
Mr. Kurtz responded that a Dakota County Soil and Water person
visited the site at his request, but informed Council that he has not
spent the money to do a wetlands delineation because he does not
know what the Council's action will be on the assessments. He
stated that the proposed house would be 23 to 24 feet from the
wetlands.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that there has been fill hauled to the lot
and the azea has been leveled over time, and, according to neighbors,
excess fill from developments in the azea has been brought in as
well.
Mr. Kurtz responded that he has an engineering report on the soils
test which was done on the lot and that he would not have made the
request to Council if he did not feel the property was adequate to
build a home on. He stated that this is an opportunity for the city to
capture a portion of the cost of the creek improvement and also to
protect two-thirds of the wetlands area.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he does not think every lot in the city
must be developed and that he sees no real reason why Council
should approve the request. He further stated that someone would
purchase the home and Council would have to live with the
problems which may occur. He stated that the bank has indicated
that if Council does not approve the request the property will be
forfeited to the county for non-payment of taaces. He pointed out
that the city can elect to take the land for conservation of the
wetlands area. He stated that he does not think it is a question of the
city recouping one-third of the assessment but rather whether the
city is so desperate for building sites that Council should promote
the development of this site which has so many problems.
Page No. 4223
• Novemb � 15, 1994
Mr. John Seidel, representing�Dakota'County State Bank, asked if
Council would deal with the assessment qu�stion this evening and
let Mr. Kurtz try to convince the Planning Commission and Council
that the lot is developable. �
Mayor Mertensotto responded that there� is no reason for Council to
deal with the assessment issue if it questions that the lot is
developable. He pointed out that if Council were to give consensus
to the assessment issue Mr. Kurtz could claim reliance on that action
caused him to make an investment in planning, etc. He pointed out
that Council is trying to avoid future problems.
Councilmember Smith sta.ted that she has heazd some of the
neighborhood concerns and one of her major coricerns over the site
plan is the area between the old and new creek is� a wetland and
Council has been reluctant to approve a wetlands setback less than
50 feet. She pointed out that a 35 foot setback w�ould not allow for
any future development at the back of the house,�such as a deck.
�
Mayor Mertensotto stated that since adoption of the comprehensive
plan in 1959 it has not been the city's plan to develop every possible
parcel of land and Council is not going to approve Mr. Kurtz'
assessment request and have him spent considerable money thinking
that Council will approve development of the lot.
After discussion, Mayor Mertensotto moved to deny the request for
waiver of a portion of the assessments for the creek realignment
project as it affects the three lots located in the northeast quadrant of
Marie Avenue and Dodd Road.

Council directed staff to advise Mn/DOT that the Council is very
concerned that the speed reduction be granted because of curves in
Mendota. Heights Road, the significant number of small children and
the extensive use of the parks and ballfields along Mendota Heights
Road.

MSP PLAN Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator Lawell and draft
j response to the MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan - Altemative
Environment Document.
� 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 azeas 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 talking 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 runway would
only increase the burden and any plan to do such expansion would
expand the area of objection from 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 from what is in the
document. She stated that she would also like to learn more about
assumptions on air traffic.
MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD Councilmember Sxnith stated that she has spoken to residents in
TRAIL � the area 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.
Page No. 4226
November 15, 1994
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 from 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

HEARING: FRIENDLY HILLS Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the purpose of a public
STREET RECONSTRUCTION hearing on proposed street improvements. Council acknowledged
� receipt of a feasibility report update from Civil Engineer Mogan.
Council also acknowledged a letter from Rev. & Mrs. Donald Wilke,
2881 Aztec Lane, in support of the project, and a letter from Mr.
Robert Weinzettel, 2126 Dodd Road, objecting to the inclusion of
his property in the project.
Public Works Director Danielson gave Council and the audience a
history of the proposed project and reviewed each of the fifteen .
Friendly Hills Task Force findings. He explained that as the result
of the task force report, some properties which were not originally
included within the project area have been added because they drain
to the area. Also, Pagel Road street and storm sewer improvements
and Hazel Court street improvements have been included in order to
take advanta.ge of the economy of a large project. Mr. Danielson
informed the audience that the proposed assessment for Friendly
Hills and Pagel Road street and storm sewer is $2,700 per lot, and
storm sewer (only) assessments are proposed to be $760 per lot. He
informed the audience that senior citizens and low income property
owners can request assessment deferments and explained that
deferred assessments plus accrued interest become payable when a
property is sold.
Mr. Robert Weinzettel asked how property owners can challenge
their assessments.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that owners must give
written notice to the city at the assessment hearing.
Page No. 4164
December 6, 1994
Mr. Danielson reviewed income for the project, stating that one
source of income is the inclusion of properties along Dodd Road
which drain to the district and whose surface water contributes to the
drainage problems. Those properties include the old fire�station site,
pazk property, and commercial and residential properties. He
discussed surface water and ground water management, explaining
that curb and gutter will help keep surface water from becoming
ground water but it will not solve ground water problems. He stated
that connections for sump pumps will be made available to assist
with the ground water problems.
Mr. Danielson stated that there was considerable task force
discussion of traffic and speed on Decorah. He informed the
audience that one thing that can be done is to insta111andscaping
along the undeveloped portion of the street and to narrow tha.t
portion to 28 feet rather than the 33 foot width on the remainder of
Decorah. He discussed several ways to reduce speeds, including
painting a center line and edge lines and limiting pazki.ng to one side
of the street. He informed the audience that the task force does not
recommend realigning Decorah with Wagon Wheel. He stated that
another goal of the project will be to lower the intersection of Pagel
and Keokuk, depending on costs.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the task force recommendations
appear to increase the quality of the project and reduce the costs. He
stated that the city contribution on the proposed project, using
infrastructure reserve, MSA funding and other sources, is anticipated
to be between $750,000 and $900,000. He explained that this is the
first project which was proposed under the street rehabilitation
reconstruction policy and there will eventually be some bonded debt
for future rehabilitation/reconstruction projects because all property
owners will have to be treated the same. He stated that there may be
some difficulty putting the funding package together.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and comments from the
audience.
Mr. Tom Weinzettel stated that when the task force was set up it was
to be a cross-section of the neighborhood so that each neighborhood
�
would be represented. He stated that the Dodd Road property
owners were not represented on the task force and some time during
the committee meetings they were arbitrarily included within the
project area even though they had no chance for representation. He
felt that this skews the report and that the task force over-stepped its
bounds.
Page No. 4165
December 6, 1994
Public Works Director Danielson responded that it is true that the
properties were added during the task force studies and this is the
first time the property owners have heard the proposal. He stated
that the properties on Dodd aze only included in the storm sewer
portion of the project and not the street portion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that there could not be too large a task
force but the Dodd Road property owners should have been notified
after the task force made its decision. He explained that the process
is not skewed since the task force only makes a recommendation and
Council must make the ultimate'decision.
Mr. Tom Weinzettel stated that he lives on Aztec and wants the
street project but if the city is concemed about expanding the project
because of run-off, the project could be expanded all the way to
Delaware.
Mr. Robert Weinzettel stated that none of the Dodd Road property
owners were included on the committee and their rights were
violated. He stated that the committee wants to reduce the
assessments but should not pick on those who aze not affected by the
project. He further stated that he wants the city to show him where
the water is coming from in his driveway. He stated that the project
will upgrade the Friendly Hills properties but not the properties on
Dodd Road, and that in 1992 the Council said the Dodd Road
properties would be excluded from the project.
Mrs. Laurita Weinzettel stated that about fifteen years ago Council
tried to put in a drainage ditch in Friendly Hills. She informed
Council that she has lived at her address for 44 years and the people
in Friendly Hills bought their homes at the bottom of her hill. She
felt that they should have known that water nuis down hill and that
they are benefited by the project but she will not be and every time
Friendly Hills has a problem she is asked to pay for it.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that staff can do some
surveys and if the water does not dra.in to the area the properties can
be excluded.
Mayor Mertensotto asked how many properties were added.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that eight residences
and businesses along Dodd were added. He explained that to
determine the storm water rate staff figured every home within the
Page No. 4166
December 6, 1994
drainage district benefits the same, and the total cost was divided by
the number of properties.
Mr. John Maczko stated that he was a member of the task force and
one of the issues that came up during the first feasibility hearing was
the amount of surface water that was draining off the fire station
property and the residences and businesses on Dodd. He further
sta.ted that when the task force was put together there was no intent
to exclude anyone and when the matter came up everyone on the
task force felt the park and fire station and businesses all need to pay
their fair shaze but there can be no equity if everyone else pays but
the residential property on Dodd does not. He stated that if everyone
lived at the top of a hill there would never be a drainage problem.
Mr. Mike Blake, also a task force member, stated that there is a pipe
that runs from the ball field to Hokah that contributed a substantial
amount of water as well as the fire station. The task force felt those
properties should be included and that since the water from the
residences on Dodd drains down the hill, the committee felt that
everyone who contributes surface water to Friendly Hills should be
included in the project. He explained that the original intent was the
fire station and park should be included as well as the Friendly Hills
Pazk.
Mr. Maczko stated that the properties on South Plaza were not
included because they received a storm sewer project several years
ago and cannot be assessed twice for the same improvement.
Ms. Renee Schmitt, 729 Mohican Court, stated that she has curb and
gutter and storm sewer akeady and that it was paid for by Marvin
Anderson when the Bridgeview Shores project was done. She asked
why she is being assessed and stated that she has four neighbors who
are in the Bridgeview Shores development and they are not being
assessed. She did not feel she will benefit from additional curb and
gutter. She stated that when the Bridgeview Shores project was
done she was told she would not be assessed for that project.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that Ms. Schmitt's lot is
part of the Friendly Hills neighborhood and that it is proposed that
the lot be assessed the same as her neighbors' lots.
Engineer Mark Mogan informed Council that the Marvin Anderson
development is excluded because they were assessed for storm
sewer as part of the Bridgeview Shores development. Twenty lots in
the development were assessed for storm sewer and Ms. Schmitt's
Page No. 4167
December 6, 1994
lot was not. He did not think there are any storm sewer catch basins
in front of her home but stated that he will check.
Public Works Director Danielson explained that curb and gutter was
extended to Ms. Schmitt's lot as part of the Bridgeview Shores
project and she benefited from it but was not assessed. He stated
that if the city does not assess for this, her lot would be the only
property in the entire area around her lot wluch would not have been
assessed for street and storm sewer.
Ms. Schmitt responded that she will get nothing new out of the
project and was told earlier that should would not be assessed for it.
Mr. Bill Burke stated that whenever there is a rain storm lots of
water comes down Decorah from the west. He asked where the
water comes from and why that was not considered as part of the
drainage area. He also asked about the width of Decorah.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that Decorah is
proposed to be 33 feet wide, the same as all the streets in the area.
He explained that all of the other streets will have two driving lanes
and two parking lanes on both sides but because Decorah is an MSA
street, the state will not a11ow parking on both sides if it is only 33
feet wide.
Mr. Blake pointed out that the task force wanted to keep Decorah the
same width as the others to keep traffic from speeding up because
there is perceived to be more room. He stated that on the 28 foot
wide segment there would be no pazking allowed on either side of
the street.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what a 38 foot width would do to the front
yards on Decorah.
Engineer Mogan responded that the city would have to take 2 1/2
feet of the front yard area on both sides of the street.
Mr. Mike Coonan asked where the $1,000 reduction (from the first
feasibility hearing) in the proposed assessment rate came from.
Public Works Director Danielson stated that the task force did not do
the detains on the money. He explained that the reason for the
reduction was that all of the MSA contribution for Decorah was
included in the financing - the prior policy stated that the city would
not include all MSA funding. Also, sta.ff re-estimated the project
because of recent bids, the assessment area was expanded to include
Page No. 4168
December 6, 1994
properties which contribute storm water, including the park land,
and the type of pipe proposed to be used for the�project was changed
from concrete to plastic.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that some properiy owners will be able to
install pipe from their homes to the storm sewer to drain their sump
water if they desire. �
Councilmember Huber arrived at 9:15 p.m.
Mr. Coonan stated that a big shaze of the water comes from T.H. 149
across the highway from Wagon Wheel Trail and from Mendakota
Estates.
Public Works D'uector Danielson stated that sta.ff can contact the
sta.te to see if Mn/DOT will contribute to the costs.
Mr. Edwazds, property owner at the corner of Dodd and Decorah,
stated that there is a culvert that brings the water down Wagon
Wheel into his yazd and there is no outlet.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that sta.ff will look into
the matter.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that there aze eight properties on Dodd
who have been included in the project and Council must resolve
whether they should be included. He asked what can be elimixiated
in the project to reduce the costs by $800 for each of those
properties.
Engineer Mogan responded that the intake is proposed such that the
commercial property can be redeveloped without additional storm
sewer work outside the property line. He explained that this could
be done when the property develops but that would disrupt the
Friendly Hills properties again. Responding to a question from
Councilmember Krebsbach, he stated that it is proposed that the
commercial properties along Dodd be assessed at a higher rate than
the residences, on an equivalent basis, to reflect the increased
surface water they contribute.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern over setting a precedent on
use of MSA funds and asked what the excludable MSA costs aze.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that in this case MSA
funds can be used to help write down the project costs, and that he
Page No. 4169
December 6, 1994
does not know whether that establishes a pro rata assessment in the
future.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that what is proposed obviously represents
a change in the street rehabilitation policy that Council needs to look
at. He stated that the proposed cost to the city is almost $1 million
and that will come from tax dollazs. He pointed out that this is just
the first project under the policy and he is concerned about setting a
precedent, and when the infrastructure reserve funds are gone the
city will have to levy.
Mr. Maczko sta.ted that the task force discussed and had a strong
consensus that $2,300 to $2,500 was the range of benefit to the
properties. He sta.ted that MSA funding offsets the negative impacts
to the neighborhood for having a MSA street. He suggested that the
storm water utility be used to assist in financing.
Treasurer Shaughnessy explained that the storm water utility was
intended for infrashucture rather than neighborhood water problems.
He informed Council that the Ivy Falls Creek project cost $850,000
rather than the $1.2 million that had originally been estimated.
Mr. Roger Plath stated that there are two azeas of discussion. He
stated that the water in the Edwards yazd is coming from the Wagon
Wheel azea. He asked if the Wagon Wheel area should be included
now and felt that they should have been included in the beginning.
He stated that the water coming down Decorah and on Pontiac is
what started the problem and the erosion on the streets and the
Decorah/Wagon Wheel water problem has not been addressed. He
stated that the speed on Decorah is terrible and wlule he thinks the
project is excellent something must be done to slow the traffic down.
He suggested a stop sign at Decorah and Apache to make it
inconvenient for people to use Decorah or speed on it.
Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. James Losleben if those on Pagel
Road and Hazel Court are in favor of the project.
Mr. Losleben responded that he wants the project and believes his
neighbors do as well. He asked what the plan is for Pagel Road and
if there is any plan to continue the Bridgeview Shores walkway
along Pagel to Dodd.
Public Works Director Daruelson responded that Pagel is proposed
to be curbed so that the entire project will look the same. With
respect to the walkway, he stated that it was decided by the ta.sk
Page No. 4170
December 6, 1994
force that sidewalks were not part of their charge. He pointed out
that sidewalks are always controversial.
Mr. Losleben requested that the intersection of Pagel and Keokuk be
considerably reduced in height. He stated that all three streets that
intersect go up hill.
Engineer Mogan stated that there are some utilities that may be
impacted if the grade is reduced and he does not know how deeply
the grade can be cut. He stated that he believes it can be reduced
four feet without much impact.
Mayor Mertensotto agreed that the intersection grade should be
reduced as much as possible.
Mr. William Simek sta.ted that he would like the city to think about
the trash trucks in the area. He stated that he had the misforlune of
having one owned by someone who lived in the neighborhood and
now there are several haulers picking up trash in the neighborhood.
He stated that he is tiying to get the neighborhood to use just one
hauler if possible because the trucks take a terrible toll on the road.
He stated that he believes it would be beneficial for the
neighborhood to bid for the service, and asked if the city would
consider taking bids if the neighborhoods could get together.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the suggestion would take a great
deal of study. He informed the audience that the proposed project is
a city-initiated project which requires a four-fifths vote of Council,
so action cannot be taken this evening. He stated that he feels
Council will ha.ve to take a strong look at committing $900,000 of
city funding, should also look at whether the properties on Dodd
should be assessed and should get information on the water which is
coming from Wagon Wheel. He stated that Council should consider
how much money the city may be able to pick up via the storm
water utility fund, even though he realizes it was not intended for
this purpose.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she is interested in the
commercial properties on Dodd making a contribution and asked if
all the residential properties need to be assessed as well. She asked
if there is some way those properties can be removed from the
project. She stated that she supports the project and commended the
neighborhood, the task force and city staff.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he is sure there is not 100%
neighborhood agreement but the task force has done a great job. He
Page No. 4171
December 6, 1994
further stated that he supports the project and hopes design can �egin �'•
in the spring but Council must take a closer look at funding. He
informed the audience that Council will ask staff to report on
projections for what kind of precedent would be set for future
projects.
Councilmember Koch stated that she has always believed something
must be done and that the task force has done a good job of reaching
its goal of finding something everyone in the neighborhood can live
with. She stated that she is in favor of the project but is concerned
about funding.
Staff was directed to keep the Dodd Road property owners informed.
RECESS Mayor Mertensotto called a recess at 10:08 p.m. The meeting was
reconvened at 10:22 p.m.
BROOKFIELD LANE Council acknowledged a report from Public Works Director
CONDEMNATION regazding condemnation of an access easement over Brookfield Lane
along with a letter from Mr. Les Achman notifying Council of the
Kensington Manor Home Association vote with respect to granting
access. Council also aclaiowledged an appraisal of the value of
proposed driveway easements over Brookfield Lane prepared by
Blake Davis.
Mr. Bill Lentsch was present for the discussion and informed
Council that he was awaze of the association's action and the
appraisal value.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the representatives of the Manor
Home Association ha.ve stated that the matter is out of their hands
because the association members have refused to grant the
easements, therefore the city must proceed with condemnation. He
explained that the association boazd cannot grant a private easement
without approval of the membership and thus the board has advised
the city to proceed with the condemnation.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to find that the condemnation
proceeding is for a public purpose to provide access to an otherwise
landlocked parcel and to adopt Resolution No. 94-87,
"RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE ACQUISITION BY
CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN STREET EASEMENTS IN
THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS, DAKOTA COUNTY,
MINNESOTA, and to authorize the City Attorney to take the steps
necessary to proceed with condemning driveway access for Outlot B
of the Mendota. Woods Addition.

CASE NO. 94-35, LEE Council acknowledged an applzcatian from Dr. Barbara Lee for sign
setback variance, along with associated memos from�Administrative
Assistant Batcheider and the City Planner. .
Llr. Barbaza Lee summarized her request for a new sign for her
dental affice lacated at 7$p South Plaza Drive. She explained that if
the sign were setback in accordance with the ordinance, it could not
be seen because of existing landscaping. She stated that she would
like to have the sign autside the property iine, cioser to the curb. Dr.
Lee informed Council that she is aware of the five conditions
recommended by #he Planning Commission and stated that she
would prefer not to agree to the condition wluch would require the
sign Iighting ta be tvrned aff one half hour after the close of business
each day and the conditian that a minimal level of illumination
intensity be used. She stated f.hat all of ihe other businesses an
South Plaza leave their lights on at night - Holly Homes lights are on
aII night as are the lights at the shopping center and MeDonalds. Dr.
Lee stated that the requirement over the level of illumination is open
ta inte;rpretation and should be based an samething measurable. She
inf'ormed Council that she was not present at the commissian
meeting and did not anticipate problems. She sta.ted that the
commission recommended tha.t the sign be 22 feet from the curb
which would put it behind a raw of existing pine trees where it could
not be seen, and she is trying ta avoid removing any trees.
Administrative Assis#ant Batchelder stated that the Planning
Commission recommended a 20 foat setback variance to allow the
sign to be placed ten feet from the property line.
Mayor Mertensotta suggested that the applicatian be referred back tfl
the Planning Commission for clarificahon of its recommendations.
Mr. Bob Sherlock, representing SignArt, stated that the Planning
Commission was adamant abaut the five recommended cantlitions.
He stated that his basic concern is that one of the members brought
up the illuminatian of the sign and the proximity ta the street as the
biggest factors but the ten residents closest to the property had na
objectians. He expiained that the sign is intemally iliuminated, but
only the lettering will be lit - the background will not. He stated that
the Platu�.ing Commission had recammended that all ezcisting signs
be removed and Dr. Lee has agreed to the condition.
Page No. 4173
December 6, 1994
Mayor Mertensotto stated that there is no standard on minimum
illumination and a standard should be established. He informed Mr.
Sherlock that the Council and Planning Commission are very strict
about signage.
Responding to a Council question, Dr. Lee informed Council on her
hours of operation. She stated that it would be nice to have visibility
of the sign for those who pass by to go to the bank at night. She
informed Council that she would not be available to attend the
December Planning Commission meeting. She stated that there is
no point in going to the expense of a sign if it is not going to be
visible and further stated that the sign is for new patients. Dr. Lee
asked if an illuminated roof sign, like those at Holly Homes and the
day care center, would be more acceptable.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that there is much sign clutter
along 5outh Plaza and the commission was likely trying to minimi�e
the clutter. She informed Dr. Lee that Mendota Heights is a very
quiet community in terms of evening lighting.
Councilmember Koch stated that in reading the Planning
Conunission minutes it appears that they wanted to accommodate
the request and they felt the recommendation, with the five
conditions, was the best they could do. She did not think that any
purpose would be served by sending the application back to the
cominission.
Responding to a Council question on which of the five requirements
she could meet, Dr. Lee responded that she will remove all signage
(condition 5) and the condition that redevelopment or intensification
of the use will require all signage to meet city setbacks (condition 4),
and that she will accept the condition on reduction in the height and
width of the sign (condition 2). She stated that she is not happy with
the first condition (illumination to be turned off half an hour after
close of business), the recommended setback, and the condition
about minimal level of illumination intensity since the minimum
level of illumination is undefined. She suggested a compromise to
allow her to keep the sign illuminated until 10 p.m.
Administrative Assistant Batchelder informed Council that at the
Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner Tilsen raised the
issue of the intensity of the illumination. He explained that Mr.
Tilsen lives neaz the Country Day School and its illuminated light is
on all night and is extremely briglat. Mr. Batchelder informed
Council that in residential districts the ordinance states that lights
cannot be cast off the properiy but that there is no standard for
Page No. 4174
December 6, 1994
business districts. He stated that the Planning Cominission has
asked staff to draft a proposed aznendment to the zoning ordinance
which would define a standard that is a low intensity. He stated that
the Planning Commission was concerned that the sign would be
used to advertise to cars on Dodd Road rather than to identify the
business, and they did not want the sign on all night.
Dr. Lee's husband stated that if the sign is located at the 20 foot
setback it would be invisible from the east and west. Regazding
illumination, he stated that it would be better if Council just picked a
time of day when the illumination should be turned off rather than
saying it must be off half an hour after the close of business.
Dr. Lee stated that she agrees to all of the Planning Commission's
conditions except those relating to illumination and setback. She
stated that the sign probably will not be installed until spring
because underground electrical work must be done.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the application was not properly
addressed to the Planning Comm.ission and the applicant did not
request a specific location for the sign. He suggested that the
applicant return to the Planning Commission and specify her
parameters.
Councilmember Huber stated that he would like to see Dr. Lee make
a specific proposal to the commission, taking into account the
e�sting trees and placing the sign at 18 feet.
The application for variance was referred back to the Planning
Commission for consideration at its January meeting.
CASE NO. 94-37, Council acknowledged an application from Mr. Art Werthauser for
WERTHAUSER conditional use permit for filling at 1020 Sibley Memorial
Highway, along with an association report from the Public Works
Director.
Mr. Werthauser stated that the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended that the conditional permit be approved subject to
four conditions which he has agreed to meet. He informed Council
that he had offered to do some work on the Moore property but Mr.
Moore refused to grant him a right of entry, so the Planning
Commission directed him to do whatever is possible on his property
to direct drainage away from the Moore property.
After brief discussion, Councilmember Koch moved to approve the
Planning Commission recommendation and adopt Resolution No.

CASE NO. 94-32, HEAVER Mr. Keith Heaver, representing Heaver Design and Construction,
was present for continued discussion on his application for the
division and combination of three lots in the North Ivy Hills Second
Addition. Council aclaiowledged a report from Administrative
Assistant Batchelder. Council also aclaiowledged receipt of surveys
of the new pazcels (A, B and C) prepared by Jim R. Hill, Inc.
Council also acknowledged ownership and encumbrance reports on
the lots.
Mr. Heaver explained that he proposes to divide the east ten feet
fram Lot 1 and combine it with Lot 2, and divide a"Y" shaped
portion of the easterly side of Lot 2 and combine it with Lot 3..
Mayor Mertensotto asked if the division/combination will allow
Pazcel A to be satisfactory for conshuction of a home commensurate
with the other homes in the subdivision without the need for any
variances.
Councilmember Huber stated that any subsequent owner of the
pazcel would have to agree not to request any variances on the basis
that Mr. Heaver created a hazdship.
Mr. Heaver responded that no future variances will be needed for the
pazcel. He sta.ted that a typical lot in� Mendota. Heights is 100 feet
wide which would allow a maximum house width of 80 feet, and
this lot would support a 100 foot wide home at the 30 foot setback
line.
Mayor Mertensotto asked if Mr. Heaver is willing to grant the city
drainage and utility easements.
Public Works Director Danielson informed Council that Mr. Heaver
has executed easement documents, which had been prepared by city
staff, for Lots 1 and 2.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that there is a new five foot
easement on the west property line of Lot 3 but the property owner,
Mr. Salmen, has not signed an easement document.

December 6, 1994
Mr. Heaver informed Council that he has to traiisfer a deed for the
new Lot 3 to Mr. Salmen and he will have Mr. Salmen sign the
easement document at that time. He explained that Mr. Salmen is
aware that an easement is required and is willing to grant it.
Attorney Hart stated that the action which is necessary is not just lot
subdivision, but also is lot combination. He stated that the proposed
resolutions to approve the requested action must be revised to add
"combination" wherever lot division is addressed.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern that the resolutions be
recorded at the County so that future buyers of the lots laiow the
history. He advised Mr. Heaver that he should do all of the
document recording at the county at his expense and show proof of
recording to the city.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that approval of the division/combinations
should be conditioned that the city receive a signed easement
document joined in by the owner of Lot 3 as well as Heaver Design
and Construction and further that the lot split documents and survey
would be recorded at the applicant's expense and show proof of the
easement recording to the city in the form of a receipt from the
County Auditor.
Councilmember Koch moved adoption of Resolution No. 94-89, "A
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT DIVISION AND
COMBINATION FOR LOTS 2 AND 3, NORTH IVY HILLS
SECOND ADDITION," and Resolution No. 94-90, "A
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT DIVISION AND
COMBINATION FOR LOTS 1 AND 2, NORTH IVY HILLS
SECOND ADDITION," amended to show the combination of
properties after the lot split, conditioned that Heaver Construction
show proof of documents to the city where he has granted easements
along all the property lines and entered into by Mr. T. Jay Salmen
(owner of Lot 3).
Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion.
Councilmember Smith arrived at 11:08 p.m.
HEARING: EASEMENT Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for the purpose of a public

Council that the purchase agreement is timed such that the Mendota.

MEMO
December 29, 1994
T0: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Lawell, City Administr t
SUBJECT: 1995 CDBG Grant Application
INTRODIICTION
Each year the City of Mendota Heights receives a share of
Dakota County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. By
January 30, 1995, the City's application for 1995 funding must be
returned to the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HR.A). It is the intent of this memo to present a draft CDBG
Funding Application for Council consideration.
DISCIISSION
Attached to this memo please find correspondence from the
Dakota County HRA regarding this year's CDBG Application. Although
it is not yet known what the 1995 CDBG allocation for Dakota County
will be, it is currently estima.ted to be approximately the same as
last year. Should this hold true, the City's anticipated
allocation will be approximately $50,000.
For the past three consecutive years, the City of Mendota
Heights has allocated its annual CDBG allotment towards the
acquisition of a senior housing site within the community.
Assuming it remains the City's desire to work towards the
construction of such a facility, the attached draft CDBG Funding
Application has been prepared in a manner nearly identical to the
past three years. Because the actual site location is not yet
known, the application is necessarily general. At the present
time, the Dakota County HRA is favoring the site located east of
the Dakota County State Bank at the end of South Plaza Drive, and
they are currently investigating site ownership issues.
As a preliminary total site acquisition budget, a figure of
$200,000 has been identified. Costs associated with constructing
the forty unit senior housing facility will be the responsibility
of the Dakota County HR.A.
If approved, the
consideration to the
Committee is comprise
within the District,
representative on the
RECONIl�NDATION
City's application will be submitted for
CDBG Distri.ct 2 Review Committee. This
d of City representatives from those Cities
and Councilmember Koch is our appointed
Committee.
The provision of affordable senior housing has long been
identified as a goal of the City, and as such, I recommend that the
attached application and approving Resolution be adopted for
submittal to the HRA.
ACTION REQIIIRED
Should Council concur with the recommendation, a motion should
be made to adopt Reaolution No. 94- A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
APPLICATION OF THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS FOR FISCAL YEAR. 1995

RE: Dakota County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program Application for 1995
Enclosed is the application form for Dakota County's Community
Development Block Grant Program for Fiscal Year 1995. This form,
with supporting documentation and a resolution of the governing
body of the municipality (a form of resolution is provided for your
information), must be returned to the Dakota County HRA no later
than January 31, 1995.
The funding amount for FY1995 is not known at this time. In 1994,
the County received $2,016,000, of which amount District 2 was
allocated $473,295. Funds are awarded to applicants within the
District on a competitive basis; the contribution of each City to
the total District allocation is also a consideration in setting
funding amounts. We suggest that you use the 1994 funding amounts
as a guide when preparing your 1995 application. We will contact
you when the 1995 funding amount is known if application requests
need to be amended.
CDBG Program funds generally can be used for projects that provide
a benefit to persons of low and moderate income or that aid in the
elimination of slums or blighted conditions in communities. If you
have questions about the program or about the eligibility of
proposed activities, please call this office. Questions should be
directed to me at 423-8113 or to Diane Nordquist at 423-8112.
Either of us will be happy to assist you in preparing an
application or in documenting the eligibility of a proposed
activity.
CDBG recipients with on-going projects may also request
reallocation of unused funds at this time, if desired. Please call
us to discuss the reallocation process.
CDBG Program funds for FY1995 will not be available for expenditure
on project activities until after July 1, 1995. In order to meet
all documentation required for funding approval by the Department
of Housing and Urban Development we must begin the application
process at this time. Your cooperation in meeting the proposed
application deadline will be greatly appreciated. We look forward
to working with you in 1995!

ADDENDIIM
The Dakota County Economic Development Partnership is proposing to
establish a County-wide Revolving Loan Program using CDBG funds.
Scott Beckman, the Partnership's Directcr, will be contacting
Cities and Townships participating in the County CDBG Program to
discuss the possibility of municipalities contributing CDBG funds
to such a Revolving Loan Program. Interested parties can also
contact Mr. Bec3anan at 423-2281.
Economic Development activities are CDBG eligible when job creation
or retention provides a benefit to Low and Moderate Income persons.

i
. � � ' '
The plans and specifications,to paint,and repair the City's 2MG water tower have now
been prepared by MSA Consulting Engineeis. �MSA prepared the specifications according to
the findings and guidelines developed by AEC Engineers, �who performed the original analysis.
Staff has reviewed the plans and specif'ications and find them acceptable. They are very thick
and technical, and therefore are not included with this packet. A copy is availa.ble at City Hall
and could be delivered to any Council Member desiring to review them.
�
It was a Council concern at the time of inspection analysis with AEC of whether it
would be cheaper to paint the tank with the flutes on, or remove them, paint them on the
ground and then reinstall them. MSA feels confident that it will be cheaper to leave them in
place, however the contract is structured so that the contractor, at his option, can paint the
flutes in place or remove them, paint them on the ground and reinstall them.
7
The cost estimate for the work arrived at by AEC, is approximately $600,000. This
estimate includes $100-150,0(}0 for shrouding the tanks as'is required by MPCA. We have
included a deduct alternate within the bids for excluding the shrouding and intend to work with
the MPCA to see if possibilities exist to do the work without the shrouding.
Tlus work will put the City's tank out of service for most of the summer, and we will
need to impose a lawn sprinkling baa during that time frame (completion scheduled for early
August). We will begin alerting residents and businesses about this problem in the next City
newsletter. NOTE: This sprinkling ban will also be enforced in the City's Parks.
This project is being paid for out of the Water Revenue Fund and not by assessments,
therefore, we do not need to go through the process of authorizing bids by resolution.
ACTION REOUIRED:
This memo is for information only, bids will be taken through the month of January
and the results will be brought back to Council for review, approval and award at a February
meeting date.

FULL CONMISSION HE�TING
December 7, 1994
' The December Commission meeting was called to order by Chair George Tourville at 7:05
p.m. on Wednesday, December 7, 1994. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Chair
Tourville introduced Cheryl Smith, Continental Cablevision Custaner Service Manager.
1. ROLL CALL - Members Present: Lucille Collins, Henry Hovey, John Huber, Jodelle
Ista, Ed Mullarky, Mike Sokol, George Tourville (left at 7:50 p.m.), and Richard
Vitelli. Members Absent: Alvin Boelter, John Lagoo, John 0'Brien, and Jim Toye.
Also Present: Cheryl Smith (Continental Cablevision); Brian Grogan (NDC4
Attorney); and Jodie Miller (staff).
2. � AGE�lDA - R. . Vi�tel l i added two ooi nts f�r. d;i���.►ssi.on. under N��r. Busi nes�: 1) a
process for spending Narrowcasting funds, and 2) a request from the City of West
,St. Paul to �pend Narrowcasting funds. The amended Agenda was approved by
consent.
3. CONSENT AGENDA -
A) Me2ting Minutes: Motion 12.7.94.1 to approve the November 7, 1994 Commission
meeting minutes was made by J. Ista, seconded by L. Collins, and unanimously
carried.
B) List of Claims: The List of Claims was presented for review. Motion
12.7.94:2 to approve the List of Claims for the period 11/3/94 - 12/7/94 was made
by R. Vitelli, seconded by L. Collins, and unanimously carried.
4. LOCAL ORIGINATION HEARING - Chair Tourville clarified that the hearing regarding
the Local Origination channel is not a"public hearing." The hearing on Local
Origination has been called according to processes defined in the Franchise
Ordinance. At this point, Chair Tourville opened the hearing and explained that
the public could direct their questions and/or cortxnents via the telephone lines
to the Commission regarding the Local.Oriainat.ion.chanr+e?.
Chair Tourville briefly noted that the Negotiation Committes has worked diligently
over the past several months on a settlement with Continental over the Local
Origination channel. Most recent changes to the draft settlement document were
explained; these changes need yet to be reviewed by Continental Cablevision.
Attorney, B. Grogan explained that because there is not sufficient information
available at this time that would allow the Commission to make an informed
decision regarding the settlement, the hearing should be extended to the next
regularly scheduled Commission meeting. It would be appropriate for the
Commission to approve a draft'of the Letter of Agreement (LOA), including the
latest changes, to be forwarded to Continental for their review and camments. The
hearing will remain a relevant issue until agreement is reached between the
Commission and Continental.
R

B. Grogan recommended that the Commission continue the Local Origination hearing
and provide Continental with advanced notice of the hearing. Because Continental
made changes to the draft LOA late in the afternoon of the Commission meeting, M.
Sok�l suggested that the Committee be allowed time to review those latest changes.
Chair Tourville stated that he believed the Comtnission could agree at this time
upon a final version of the LOA to send to Continental for their review and
acceptance. After brief discussion it was agreed that only one of the three
changes suggested by Continental be made. Motion 12.7.94.3 to approve making the
suggested change to Item H. regarding provision of complimentary cable service to
the NDC facility and sending the document to Continental for their acceptance was
made by R. Vitelli and seconded by J. Huber. Discussion followed on the proposed
change to Item H. and a friendly amendment was made to the motion to include
changes to Item H. that would define cable service to exclude Pay Per View and
Premium channels.
�� •- •� U�der -Point �-#� of the� LOA; - Cont�ir�ental sugges��e�+_ changing.:,the°.�dsf�nition of ..
cooperatively produced programs�from number of hours to number of programs. This
point was discussed and it was agreed that the definition should remain as hours.
The goal of cooperatively produced programs is to increase the amount of staff-
produced community programmi.ng on NDC channels.
J. Huber inquired about the value of the settlement as compared with the range of
estimated values presented by the Committee at a previous Commission meeting. J.
Miller reviewed some of the estimated values in cash and in-kind and explained
there are some intangible items that may or may not have significant value, and
which cannot be determined at this time.
Concerning changes to Point #7, J. Miller explained that originally, the Committee
proposed language that stated that none of the cost of the items in the settlement
would be passed on to subscribers. Attorney B. Grogan rewrote the stipulation
including language that the costs and obligations of the settlement be treated as
original Franchise requirements. J. Miller stated that Continental will likely
not agree with this statement, as they have contended all along that they have
complied with the Franchise Ordinance. B. Grogan explained the reason he reworded
the statement was because the 1992 Cable Act allows cable providers to pass
through costs for new obligations imposed by franchising authorities, and his
intent was to clarify that this settlement would not be treated as a new
additional obligation. Chair Tourville suggested leavina the language on Point
7 as drafted by the Committee.
J. Huber inquired about why the Committee is willing to accept an agreement with
a value much less than the value they originally estimated. M. Sokol responded
that the Committee had concluded that this agreement is a reasonable alternative
to the possibility of litigation; the settlement value has improved over what was
thought possible last month; and there are clear indications fram Continental that
if the Commission wants more cash, some of the proposed in-kind offers will be
retracted. B. Grogan noted that because these negotiations are not yet settled,
further detailed discussion of the rationale may jeopardize the Commission's
•position. Similar to cities, the Commission has established a Negotiations
-� Committee through which discussions may take place without jeopardizing positions.
Chair Tourville repeated the Negotiation Committee recommendation to accept the
original draft of the LOA with the agreed upon change to Item H. The motion was
NDC4 Commission Meeting Minutes
December 7, 1994
Page 3
voted on and.passed with J. Huber voting No. The LOA will be sent to Continental
with the explanation that this latest version was approved by the Cammission.
B: Grogan advised the group to authorize a continuation of the Local Origination
hearing. Motion 12.7.94.4 to continue�the hearing regarding compliance with Local
Origination to allow the Commission and Continental more time to exchange
additional information prior to action by the Commission was made by J. Ista and
seconded by H. Hovey. A friendly amendment was made to the motion to include
specifying that the hearing will be continued at the next regularly scheduled
Commission meeting. The vote was taken and the motion was unanimously carried.
[Chair Tourville turned the meeting over to Vice-Chair Vitelli.]
5. NDCTV REPORT - J. Miller reported that NOCTV has met and exceeded its membership
goals through the organized. campaign.. pf.for.ts of, ;�.the. Membership Cemmittee �nd
' staff. NDCTV needs to sell many more shirts and caps in order to break even on
the goal for that revenue-generating item. Coverage of local eiections was very
successful, and NDCTV received local publicity through newspapers, readerboards
and a 22-second•news story on WCCO evening news. (A tape of that news story was
shown.) Three Action Committees (Finance, Marketing, and Operations) have met
regularly over the past 6 months between Board meetings to plan goals for next
year. R. Vitelli thanked lead staff persons (Judy Skeie-Voss and Ted Arbeiter)
for their efforts in pr�oviding the election night coverage.
6. REPORT FROM CONTINENTAL - No formal report was given. R. Vitelli inquired about
whether the Franchise Fees are going to equal the amount budgeted. J. Miller
replied that the Franchise Fees received to�date are just shart of what was
budgeted.
J. Ista reported that the Faith In Values channel has requested Continental to
carry their service. If Continental cannot carry the service, the cable service
will be offered free of charge on December 24 and 25. �
M. Sokol noted that in the Continental newsletter "Connections" no telephone
number was listed for Continental's West St. Paul office. He requested C. Smith
to inquire with Continental about listing the telephone number as this is a
requirement of the Franchise. "
T. NEGOTIATION COMMITTEE REPORT - J. Miller reported that the Negotiations Committee
met recently with Continental representatives to discuss the three timing
variances which are up for renewal. Those three variances are for High Speed Data
Transmission, Separate Institutional Network, and Interconnection. The Committee
has four questions regarding aspects of the variances for which Continental needs
to supply answers. The Cammittee recommended granting all three variances pending
receipt of information requested by the Committee. Motion 12.7.94.5 to authorize
granting timing variances to June 30, 1996 for High Speed Data Transmission,
Separate Internet, and Interconnection-subject to Continental providing the
information requested by the Committee was made by J. Huber, seconded by L.
Collins, and unanimously carried.

8. CITIZEN COMMENTS— A call was received from an Inver Grove Heights citizen who
cammented on the difficulty he has experienced trying to get through to
�" Continental on their telephone lines. Chair Tourville asked the caller to leave
his name and telephone number so Continental can follow up on the problem and
discuss it with him. Chair Tourville also noted that Customer Service Standards
will be reviewed and discussed later in this meeting.
A second call was taken from an Inver Grove Heights subscriber inquiring about the
status of Continental offering the Cartoon Network on its NDC system. R. Vitelli
explained that the decision to add this channel is up to Continental.
9. LEGAL COUNSEL REPORT — A report on Continental's rates, based on FCC Forms 1200,
1205, and 1215 was compiled by Attorney B. Grogan and had been mailed to
Commissioners in the��r me.eting packet. B. Grogan summarized the report by stating
that Continental is charging the maximum permitted for its Basic Service Tier.
They are currently overcharging for- the Mid Service Tier and the Cable Program
Service Tier; but, these tiers are regulated by the FCC. NDC4 had filed required
paperwork with the FCC that would have triggered an investigation into the rates
being charged, but the FCC rejected the filing because it was not processed under
the FCC definition of the deadline. NDC4 has appealed the decision and is waiting
for a response from the FCC. Some installation charges, which can also be
regulated by NDC4, were found to be above the maximum permitted:
6. Grogan presented a Resolution that will approve the maximum permitted rates for
Basic Service and, where overcharged for installations, order refunds retroactive
to July 15, 1994. The Commission needs to act on this matter at this meeting or
they will waive their rights.to regulate rates. B. Grogan noted that by approving
this Resolution, NDC4 will also be approving rates for the new converter box
Continental has recently made available. Motion 12.7.94.6 to adopt the Resolution
as proposed regarding rate regulation was made by M. Sokol and seconded by J.
Ista. Lengthy discussion followed on the pros and cons of passing the resolution.
B. Grogan explained that there are procedures set forth by the FCC for enforcing
rate orders whether or not a refund liability is involved. The vote was taken and
the motion carried with R. Vitelli voting No. The Resolution will be sent to
Continental. B. Grogan noted that rate, regulations are being appealed by
Continental and other cable operators. _.
B. Grogan explained that the Commission should decide whether or not to adopt the
FCC Customer Service Standards. After adoption, the standards can be enforced by
giving the cable operator 90 days written notice. Discussion followed on current
experiences subscribers have reported to the Commission concerning trying to reach
Continental via the telephone. C. Smith explained that Continental had recently
installed a new telephone system which likely accounts for some of the problems
as the system glitches are worked out. She also reported that Continental's
Customer Service is now open seven days a week to help alleviate some of the
customer calls that occur Monday mornings.
A question�was asked whether NDC4 can adopt standards stricter than those of the
FCC. B. Grogan explained that by adopting an ordinance, NDC4 can adopt other
standards so long as they do not conflict with state or federal laws. Motion
12.7.94.7 to adopt the FCC Customer Service Standards was made by L. Collins,
seconded by E. Mullarky, and unanimously carried.

NDC4 Cortmission Meeting Minutes
December 7, 1994

B. Grogan invited Commissioners to contact him after the meeting if they wished
to discuss the next round of rate regulations.
10. STAFF REPORTS - J. Miller reported that in February 1994, NDC4 had sent forms to
the FCC that would trigger regulation of the upper tiers (Cable Programming
Service or CPS tier) of cable service in NDC. The FCC returned the forms stating
they had not been filed on a timely basis since they were not received in hand by
the deadline. (They were postmarked by the deadline.) On April 1st an appeal was
made to the FCC to reconsider their decision because the forms had been postmarked
by the deadline date and the instructions were not clear that the forms needed to
be received by the deadline. Copies of the appeal were sent to U.S.
Representatives and Senators, one of whom responded to NDC4 regarding the issue.
(Approximately 20 other franchising authorities and individuals are in the same
circumstance of having had their filing rejected because of a misunderstood
deadline.)
Recently, a follow-up inquiry into the status of the appeal revealed that, to
date, the issue has not been dealt with by the FCC or.its Cable Bureau. In view
of the findings of Attorney B. Grogan regarding Conti�nental's overcharging on the
upper tiers of service, staff recommended the Commission follow-up on the appeai
with the FCC regarding this filing which would have required the FCC to regulate
these tiers. Staff was directed to send the letter with copies to all U.S.
Representatives and Senators to make them aware of the inactivity of the FCC
regarding this appeal and the consequences for NDC subscribers: An inquiry was
made about Continental charging more than the maximum allowed by FCC standards for
these upper tiers of service. J. Miller responded that in speaking with Bob Ryan,
he explained that Continental is aware of charging rates above what is allowed,
and that they have elected not to comply with the upper tier rates and to deal
with the FCC if the FCC takes action to regulate those rates.
In researching NDCTV insurance coverage over the past few months, it was
discovered that it would be more efficient and cost effective to consolidate
coverage under one LMCIT policy. State statute provides a liability limit for
cities. The Commission must decide whether or not to waive this statutory
liability limit as the policy will be held by NDC4. NDCTV will pay the premium,
and voted at their last meeting not to waive the limit. B. Grogan also recommends
not to waive the limit. Motion 12.7.94.8 to not waive the statutory liability
limi�t on liability insurance under the LMCIT policy was made by J. Huber, seconded
by H. Hovey, and unanimously carried.
Two part-time positions with NDCTV which have been vacant over the past month have
been restructured into one full-time position. NDC4 Video Production Assistant
Erik Johnson accepted the new full-time position. The NDC4 part-time position now
vacant will be filled at a later date. It is anticipated there will be no changes
in job description or pay range for the NDC4 Production Assistant position.
As a follow-up to a suggestion a few meetings ago regarding implementing an
employee service recognition plan, J. Miller outlined options for consideration.
She recommended employees be recognized every five years with a gift of their
choosing valued at $10 per year of service. Discussion followed and a suggestion
was made that the Commission consider providing employees with one day off after
five years instead of a gift worth $10 per year of service. It was agreed to
postpone discussion of this matter until more Commissioners are present.
NOC4 Cortmission Meeting Minutes
December 7, 1994
Page 6
Staff had also been directed to investigate implementing a policy to recognize
service by Commissioners. J. Miller reported that it is difficult to establish
criteria for service on the Commission• because individuals' experience,
participation, and contributions vary so widely. An alternative to an award
policy would be for Cam�nissioners to make private contributions toward a gift as
fellow Commissioners depart. Brief discussion followed. Motion 12.7.94.9 to
provide plaques to all Commissioners upon their departure from the Commission was
made by L. Collins, seconded by R. Vitelli, and unanimously carried.
Staff recommended purchase of another computer to replace a computer that has
become unreliable and which is not compatible with other PC's. The purchase of
a laser printer was also recommended. Discussion followed in which it was
suggested that staff investigate the possibility of all the computers in the
building sharing the laser printer. Money for these equipment purchases and for
the potential purchase of a copy machine was set aside in a capital purchases

12. NEW BUSINESS — R. Vitelli inquired about the process for a city requesting
spending Narrowcasting monies. J. Miller responded that although there is no
formal policy, the procedure has been to have the Govercunent Programming Committee
(consisting of inember city managers, administrators, and/or clerks) plan for use
of the funds according to specific city needs. Their recommendation for
expenditures is taken to the Commission for approval via the Government
Coordinator.
13. ADJOURNMENT — Motion 12.7.94.11 to adjourn the meeting was made by H. Hovey,

SUBJECT: Designation of Official Newspaper
INFORMATION
December 29, 1994
As part of the annual meeting, Council is required to
designate an official city newspaper for the year. Only the
Lillie Suburban Newspapers (South-West Review) submitted a
request for official designation.
DISCUSSION
The South-West Review was the city's official newspaper for
1994 and also serves South St. Paul, West St. Paul, Lilydale,
Mendota and Inver Grove Heights. Although the Sun Current was
the city's official newspaper for many years, they apparently
have chosen not to request official designation for 1995.
The Review staff have been very cooperative in publishing
press releases. Coverage given to Mendota Heights City Council
meetings has been good - the Review's local reporter is present
at most Council meetings. The rates quoted for legal publications
in the attached letter are slightly higher than 1994 but remain
less than half of the rate charged by the Sun-Current for 1993.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Council designate the South-West Review as
the official newspaper for 1995.
ACTION REOUIRED
If Council concurs in the recommendation, it should pass a
motion designating the South-West Review, published by Lillie
Suburban Newspapers, as the official city newspaper for 1995.

Re: At-Large Cable Commission Appointment
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I received a copy of the letter from Ms. Jodie Miller, Executive Director, NDC4, dated December
20, 1994, regarding the appointments to the cable commission for two year terms commencing
January 1995. I was appointed as the at-large representative for Mendota Heights this past January
after the resignation of Ron Rogosheske, and have served since that dme. I am writing to request
your consideration for my reappointment to the commission for the two year term commencing
January 1995.
I have been involved with the commission since 1987. I have served as both a commissioner and,
during 1991 to 1993, as the attorney to the commission. During my involvement I have assisted
with the development of the organization from the initial concerns related to the build out of the
cable system through the cunen� phase focusing on regulation of the cable system. Now, we are
fast approaching the time frame for the franchise renewal process. I would like to contribute my
experience and knowledge toward that end so that Mendota Heights will be in a better position to
obtain the benefits of the information age through the new technologies that will be available.

SIIBJECT: PrimeNet Marketing, Inc. Design Modification Request
DISCIISSION
In September of this year the City Council authorized the
issuance of a building permit for the construction of the
PrimeNet Marketing, Inc. facility located on Pilot Rnob Road just
north of the Big Wheel/Rossi headquarters building. Earlier in
the summer the facility was first introduced to the Council by
United Properties and was shown with an exterior finish known as
Dryvit. Council questioned the architectural desirability of the
material being used in such a large application and in response,
United Properties modified the building plans to include Fabcon
precast panels on the exterior of the building.
As deacribed in the attached letter fro
United Propertiea, the modified approved desi

In response to this situation, Mr. Glowa has requested on
behalf of PrimeNet an additional modification to the building
design which would allow a limited application of Dryvit in the
entrance way area of the building.
The area in question is approximately 40 feet in width and
28 feet in height, representing about three percent of the total
exterior surface area of the building. Further details of the
request are shown on the attached photo and plan sheets submitted
by Mr. Glowa.
fJ
RECONIl�iENDATION
After discussing the situation with Mr. Glowa, staff
believes his request for a minor design modification to the entry
way is reasonable and wouTd result in a more aesthetically
pleasing finished product. Although extensive use of Dryvit in
large applications may continue to be a concern for the Council,
the minimal use proposed in this application should enhance, not
detract, from the appearance of the completed facility.
ACTION RE4IIIRED
Council should meet with Mr. Glowa to•discuss the specifics
of the desired plan modification and should consider a motion to
formally approve the request.

RE: PRIMENET MARKETING, INC.
Dear Tom:
This is to formally request the City's consideration and approval to accept a limited application
of Dryvit Exterior Finish System at only the front entry.for the above referenced project. The
current design provides for Fabcon precast panels on all sides of the building and a limited use
of architectural metal panels at the entryway. However, the tenant and the design team prefer
a rounded effect at the front entry, which is not possible using the metal panels. The metal
panels come flat and would create a segmented look with several vertical lines. We request
substituting Dryvit for the architectural metal panels.
The entry area we refer to is approximately 40 feet in width and 28 feet in height. This area is
a combination of hard surface material and glass windows. Of the total wall surface area, it totals
approximately 3%, so we are requesting your approval to use the Dryvit Exterior System in a very
limited application as an accent. We strongly believe that this accent detail will create a much
better design impact for the project than the architectural metal panels or any other substitute
materials. We strongly believe that the technology exists today to maintain the long-term integrity
of this product. Several examples of excellent applications of Dryvit exist in the Twin Cities.
We have submitted 10 copies of the project rendering, the building elevation drawings and the
site plan for your review. We respectfully request you� approval.
Sincerely,
Dale J. Glowa
