Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 t + l ; � � Page No. 2688 January 2, 1990 CASE 89-49, SPANJERS Mr. George Spanjers was present to request approval of a wetlands permit for Mr. John Spanjers to allow construction of garage, kitchen and deck addition to the existing home 58 feet from the wetlands area at 1824 Valley Curve. Mr. Spanjers explained that the proposed construction is at the southwest side of the existing house and will not be closer to the creek than the house. Councilmember Cummi.ns moved to waive the public hearing and to grant a wetlands permit to allow construction of the proposed garage, kitchen and deck addition at 1824 Valley Curve fifty-eight feet from the wetlands area, consistent with the plans submitted to the City. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 89-45, BIRCH Mr. Brian Birch was present to request approval of a parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Freeway Road and Dodd Road. Mr. Birch stated that the purpose of the subdivision is to allow him and Dr. Tom Koepke to exchange two triangular parcels of property, so that Dr. Koepke can apply for an addition to his animal hospital and to improve the shape of the remaining Birch property. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that �- although the planning application listed rezoning as a consideration, the matter before Council this evening is only consideration of the subdivision of the property and a rear yard setback variance for the animal hospital. Dr. Tom Koepke, present for the discussion, stated that he understands that if the subdivision is approved he will be purchasing property from Mr. Birch with no stipulation as to rezoning. Mr. Birch explained that his property has 275 feet of frontage and 440 feet of depth along Freeway Road. If the subdivision is approved, the property he retains will have 110 feet of frontage, and a fifteen foot variance to the rear yard setback for the existing animal hospital would also be necessary. He submitted copies of a site drawing showing contours. f � Page No. 2689 January 2, 1990 Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the Planning Commission recommendation for preliminary plat approval was subject to several conditions, including a plan showing proper drainage contourslcertificate of survey prepared by a registered surveyor which will result in a legal description incorporating the property proposed to be purchased by Dr. Koepke into his existing parcel and incorporating the triangular Koepke property proposed to be transferred to Mr. Birch into the legal description for the remaining Birch property. Mr. Birch responded that he is submitting the contour map this evening in response to the Planning Commission's condition and that he has hired the McLagan firm to prepare a survey. With respect to the drainage contours, Mr. Birch stated that the elevations of Freeway and Dodd are higher than his property and he does not see any drainage problem, but the question is with respect to the wetland he proposes to create on his property. He informed Council that the staff has suggested that a culvert should be installed across Freeway Road and that Mr. Birch should pay for it. He felt however, that the City should support the cost since the City built the cuts and slopes on his property when Freeway Road was constructed. Dr. Koepke informed the Council that he would like the culvert to be installed under Freeway Road because he is concerned over the impact of a storm such as the one which occurred in 1987. He stated that he believes the culvert would be beneficial to his property if he is allowed to complete additional development and that he will cover the costs involved. Mayor Mertensotto emphasized that the total Birch and Koepke properties should be platted as two lots: the replatting of each of the individual parcels into one plat consisting of two lots. Councilmember Anderson moved approval of the preliminary plat as set forth in the plan dated November 28, 1989, along with a fifteen foot rear yard variance for the existing animal hospital, the preliminary plat approval being subject to the following conditions: that the final plat be an official survey as Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 2690 January 2, 1990 required by ordinance; that the final survey show Dr. Koepke's new lot as one lot with its correct legal description; that the final survey Mr. Birch's remaining land to be one lot;with a correct legal description; that a proper drainage plan be submitted with the final plans, showing the contours so that Council can properly address the drainage. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. Dr. Koepke stated that he understands fully that the approvals granted in the motion relate only to the subdivision and variance and that there is no implication from this action as to the Council's position with respect to future development of the property he plans to purchase from Mr. Birch. Mr. Birch asked what the City's plan is for use of City property adjacent to his land when Mn/DOT releases the right-of-way for T.H.149. He stated that the City property is currently being used for a dumping site for concrete, etc. Mayor Mertensotto stated that some thought has been given to City acquisition of the right- of-way and use it as a ballfield site, but that there are no current City plans for City acquisition or development of the land. PERSONNEL Council acknowledged a report and recommendation from Public Works Director Danielson with respect to personnel changes in the Public Works Department. Councilmember Hartmann moved to authorize the following changes within the Public Works Department effective January 3, 1990: Len Kanitz, Road and Bridge Leadman, is appointed to the Mechanic position; Dave Sorby , Road and Bridge Maintenanceman is appointed to the Road and Bridge Leadman position; Fred Pfeifer, Mechanic, is appointed to a Road and Bridge Maintenance position. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CABLE TELEVISION Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director Danielson regarding appointment of a Councilmember to serve as the Council representative on NDC4. Page No. 2691 January 2, 1990 Councilmember Cummins moved to appoint Councilmember Hartmann as the City's representative to the Northern Dakota County Cable Communications Commission. Councilmember Anderson seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 STREET LIGHT Council acknowledged and discussed a request from Mendakota Country Club for installation of a street light at the intersection of Mendakota Drive and Dodd Road. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 AIR NOISE Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 After discussion, Councilmember Hartmann moved to implement the Mendakota Country Club request and authorize staff to order Northern States Power Company to install the requested street light at the intersection of Dodd Road and Mendakota Drive. Councilmember Anderson seconded the motion. _ . . � - - . _ Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director Danielson with respect to two air noise issues: a memo from Eagan Administrative Assistant Jon Hohenstein to the MASAC, and the location of noise monitors in the City. Council was informed that the City's air noise consultant, Dr. David Braslau, is preparing a response to the Hohenstein memo for submission at the January 23rd MASAC meeting. A draft of the response will be available for Council review on January 16th. With respect to location of noise monitors, Councilmember Cummins moved to endorse the staff recommendation for placement of two permanent air noise monitors to be located in the Furlong Addition and southern Friendly Hills, and six temporary monitors to be located in the following neighborhoods: Curley Addition, Friendly Hills, Freeway Addition, Crown Point, Kopp-Gearman, and Tilsen. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA PARKS AND RECREATION MINUTE5 JANUARY 9, 1990 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Park and Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, January 9, 1990, in the City Hall Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. Chairman John Huber called the meeting to order at 7:00 o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Hunter, Huber, Lundeen, Kleinglass and Damberg. Spicer and Katz were excused. Staff inembers present were Administrative Assistant Batchelder, Parks Project Manager Kullander and Park Leadperson Terry Blum and City Administrator Tom Lawell. APPROVAL OF Commissioner Damberg moved to approve the MINUTES minutes of December 12, 1989. Commissioner Kleinglass seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 - INTRODUCTION OF Chairman Huber introduced and welcomed new NEW MEMBER member Stephen Hunter to the Park and Recreation Commission. He was welcomed aboard by the members. VERBAL UPDATE Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated that the staff had met with Dick Putnam, Tom Boyce and Kevin Clark, developers of the Kensington Project. Batchelder stated that they were interested in moving forward on their PUD approval for their proposed project and that if approval was granted the park dedication would move forward. Batchelder described the project and the 27 acre park dedication that would be made. Batchelder stated that the three developers desired a meeting with the Park and Recreation Commission in order to discuss the PUD and its park issues. They had hoped for a special meeting on the fifth Tuesday of the month, January 30th. The Parks Commission was unable to have a quorum for this date and stated their intention to meet with the developers at their regularly scheduled meeting of February 13th. Parks Project Manager, Guy Kullander, stated that the City has received a draft agreement from Independent School District 197 regarding the joint use of the Sibley site. He stated that negotiations have begun in earnest and that the major sticking points . are ironing out a maintenance agreement. The Parks Commission inquired about who was on the negotiating team for Independent School District 197 and the City of Mendota Heights. Administrative Assistant Batchelder responded that ISD #197's negotiating team consisted of James Nikolai, Bob Doffing, John Niemeyer, Bruce Anderson and Lois Rockney. Batchelder stated that the City of Mendota Heights' January 9, 1990 Page 2 negotiating team included Councilmember Jann Blesener, James Danielson and Tom Lawell. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that C.G. Rein had been reviewing our appraisal of their land and offer for the Mendakota site. He also stated that C.G. Rein had requested the City's appraiser to look at a comparable piece of land. The appraiser will be ammending his report, but stated that the original amount of $585,000 would not be significantly changed. Parks Project Manager Kullander discussed his meetings with the County and the State regarding off road bike trails along County and State roads. Kullander explained that because of grades and steepness in topography that it was fairly cost prohibitive to do off road trails on the sections of Delaware between Huber Drive and Highway 110. Kullander stated that after discussing this issue with the County the likely outcome was a six foot (6') wide expansion of the shoulder for the bike trail on both sides of the road. The County will pay for all costs on the Sunfish Lake side of Delaware Avenue. He stated that this would be cost effective. Kullander stated that $40,000.00 had been budgeted for this section of trail and that we would.be under budget with the on road shoulder expansion. He estimated it would cost substantially more than $40,000.00 for an off road trail along Delaware between Huber and Highway 110 because land and easements had to be purchased and damages paid to landowners. Commissioner Damberg asked if motorists honor the white l.ine for on road trails. Kullander responded that Dodd Road currently works very well in this manner and that the traffic volumns are lower on Delaware. Commissioner Lundeen stated that it was likely that motorists would honor it but bike riders tend to be not as careful. Kullander responded that six foot (6') expansion of the shoulder is based on traffic volumes that if there was more traffic the County would require an eight foot (8') shoulder. Kullander stated that this might be the best we can do given the constraints in topography of this section of trail. The Commission decided that they would proceed with this approach. Parks Project Manager Kullander explained that the portion of trail along Lexington Avenue between Marie and Douglas was also in the same situation. However, he felt a separated trail may be warranted in this case because there is a lot of foot traffic along this section of trail. The off road trail is January 9, 1990 January 9, 1990 Page 3 expensive but we can afford it because this is a short section. The Commission agreed with him. Parks Project Manager Kullander explained that the bike trail scheduled for Victoria Avenue was tight on land because of the Highway right-of-way on one side the City would only be able to build a trail on one side. Because of this they are exploring the possibility of a ten foot (10') wide shoulder. Kullander stated that staff was also exploring trail options through the adjacent neighborhood to avoid the curve on Victoria and the Highway fence. Kullander stated this would be a temporary solution because eventually Victoria Avenue will be turned back to the City from the County. It would then be eligible for M.S.A. money if the City designates it as an M.S.A. street. At this point M.S.A. funding would pay for a trail. Kullander stated that this would likely be five to ten years down the road. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that there were no problems with the State of Minnesota as far as the trail system went. He stated that in one portion of the Valley Park trail, the trail will go over State right-of-way but this has been worked out with the State. Kullander also stated that when the Mendota Bridge interchange and highway upgrade for Highway 55 is done that highway funds will pay for most of the bike trails at the bridge and at the interchange. He stated that these extensions were anticipated and included in the original city wide trail system proposed inthe referendum. Kullander stated that the benefit of this link would be to hook up the trails in Eagan to the Mendota Bridge and across to the regional park facilities across the river. Parks Leadperson Terry Blum was present to discuss maintenance policies with the Parks Commission. Blum explained how the shakes on the pavilions will be replaced this summer and that the warming houses will be reshingled. Blum stated that the siding on these structures is now wood and is scheduled to be painted this summer. He stated that a more neutral earth tone color would be the best for the repainting. Blum stated that all of these improvements are budgeted out of the park maintenance budget. He stated that City staff would be able to complete these improvements because the new mower that was budgeted for 1990 will free up park maintenance time allowing them to take care of the task of painting and reshingling the structures in the parks. January 9, 1990 Page 4 Park Leadperson Blum discussed the warming house policies with the Commission. He stated that warming houses are closed only on New Year's Day and Christmas Day. After a discussion on warming house policy, Blum stated that he would examine the policy to see if it was possible to have the warming houses open on New Year's Day next year. Commissioner Damberg stated she felt the colors of the new paint should be coordinated with the rest of the new park facilities that will be constructed this summer. Blum stated that he would bring in color samples for Commission review at the next meeting. Commissioner Damber� inquired about the trail and the plowing policies in the winter for the trails. Blum stated that when it snows we get out as soon as we can so the snow doesn't get packed and icy. Parks Project Manager Kullander explained that trails have a higher maintenance responsibility than streets. He stated that once a policy is established on how to maintain the trails, the policy will be posted and followed closely because of liability reasons. FRIENDLY HILLS Chairman Huber presented an update and status TOT LOT PRO- of this issue. He stated that on January CEEDS 16th the City Council would be holding a public hearing with the residents of the Friendly Hills neighborhood to discuss the divestment of the tot lot area. Chairman Huber stated that the Council had ordered the removal of play equipment and �roceeded with this public hearing on the basis of the Parks and Recreation's recommendation to remove the play equipment and divest the tot lot. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that the original referendum includes $40,000.00 worth of improvements to Friendly Hills Park. In addition to this, $50,000.00 had been budgeted to improve ballfields in four parks. Kullander stated that it had not been determined at this point how much of that $50,000.00 would be apportioned to the ballfield at Friendly Hills. Chairman Huber stated that the City Council had requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission come up with a list of improvements that could be made to the Friendly Hills Park if the Council were to move forward with divesting the tot lots. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that from the wish list that the Parks and Recreation Commission had developed at the December meeting, that the storm sewer improvements to Friendly Hills ballfield would cost in the range of $12,000 to $15,000. He stated that bike trail hookups January 9, 1990 Page 5 to the bike trail system in Friendly Hills Park would cost approximately $15,000. Kullander stated that neither of these improvements are included in referendum money unless they came out of the contingency funds. Kullander stated that both of these items could come out of the proceeds from a divestment of the tot lot. Kullander stated that the following improvements could be considered: 1. Picnic Shelter - $4,000 - $40,000 2. Improvement of Light Poles -$8,000 - $10,000 3. Comfort Station - $50,000 - $60,000 4. Several Small Picnic Areas - Commissioner Lundeen moved to recommend to the Council priorities for improvements to Friendly Hills Park from the tot lot proceeds with the following priorities: 1. Friendly Hills storm sewer improvements. 2. Trail system hookups. 3. Picnic facilities. Commissioner Hunter seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 PLAY EQUIPMENT Parks Project Manager Kullander explained how the City had received proposals from five play equipment contractors. The Commission, at their December 12, 1989,'meeting, selected Earl Anderson as their first choise and directed Kullander to further negotiate their propasal. Parks Project Manager Kullander demonstrated the features of the play equipment that Earl Anderson Company was offering. Kullander stated that Earl Anderson had improved their original proposal by including one bench and one trash receptacle at each park as part of their proposal. He stated that we would blacktop the entrance to the play equipment area and locate the trash receptacle and the bench there. Parks Project Manager Kullander inquired if the Commission felt that more benches or bike racks would be needed. He stated that he felt these items could come out of the contingency fund if they were determined that they were needed after other facilities were built. The Commission felt that these items,could wait until such point as most of the facilities had been developed and there was a better grip on how much contingency money was available. January 9, 1990 Page 6 Commissioner Damberg moved to recommend to the Council that they accept Earl Anderson Company's proposal to install play equipment at the seven existing parks. Commissioner Lundeen seconded the motion. AYES: 5 NAYS: 0 PARK NAME SIGNS Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that at the last Commission meeting they had approved the landscape design around the signs. Kullander stated that the signs are in different diverse locations with plants and rocks around them. This places constraints on the landscape design and some of the signs may have to be moved he stated. Kullander stated that it is beneficial to the parks to relocate these signs that have landscape constraints in order to place them in a more open and visible location and to allow for the new landscaping. Kullander also stated it was necessary to place a second sign at Ivy Hills Park. The Parks and Recreation Commission decided that they would visit the signs to review them. MENDOTA HTS Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that GARDEN CLUB he had received a message from Lori Matusoff regarding the Mendota Heights Garden Club's intent to donate a tree to Marie Park. Chairman Huber stated that he would contact Lori Matusoff about this. Chairman Huber also stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission was very grateful to receive such a donation from the Mendota Heights Garden Club and that we should schedule a ceremony to accept this donation. SIGNAGE Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that POLICY Earl Anderson Company has experience in placing a comprehensive sign desi�n for a trail system in other municipalities in the metro area. They had requested an opportunity to give a presentation to the Parks and Recreation Commission about these signs. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that such a complete sign system for the bike trails could cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. He stated that this item would have to be paid for from the contingency in the referendum or would have to come out of regular park funds. Commissioner Lundeen stated that he felt the City should keep its options open on a sign policy such as this. He stated that such a sign system would be a benefit to the trail system. The Commission directed Kullander to January 9, 1990 Page 7 arrange for a presentation from Earl Anderson Company at their March meeting. They requested that Earl Anderson Company be prepared to discuss a range of options regarding a sign system.

The preferred alternative to PERA is the International City Management Association Retirement Corporation which is designed specifically for individuals within this profession. State law requires that the City Council by resolution specifically consider the exemption from PERA in each instance of turnover in the position. A provision related to the exemption from PERA and the inclusion in ICMA-RC is included in the Employment Agreement for the Administrator position approved December 19, 1989.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Furlong Home Purchase DISCUSSION: Attached is a copy of a letter from Mr. and Mrs. David Hiner, 1312 Furlong Avenue. The Hiners have requested to be placed on this Council agenda to discuss the City's policy f or purchasing homes within their neighborhood. They say that they will also be bringing with them a number of their neighbors. Council, in their last discussion with the Furlong neighborhood, agreed at the neighborhood's request not to buy them out. The one excep- tion to the decision was where well and septic systems have failed. The process for a homeowner whose well and/or septic system has failed, has been f or the homeowner to contact the City with a notification and a request to be purchased. The City then contacts the Dakota County Health Department and they survey the site and prepare a report ba.ck to the City on the condition of the well and septic system. The City has currently purchased two homes and are waiting for the results of the Dakota County Health Department on one other. We recently received two more requests (see attached map). NOTE: To bring City sewer and water to the area would cost in excess of $25,000 and to upgrade failed onsite systems (if possible) would be $15,000+, ACTION REQUIRED: Discuss the City's policy with respect to purchasing homes within the Furlong neighborhood with Mr. and Mrs. Hiner and their neighbors.

Da el o Acting City Ad ' trator SUBJECT: Neighborhood Parks - New Play Structures DISCUSSION: Staff consulted with various play equipment suppliers and determined that the best approach for the Park and Recreation Commission was to solicit design proposals for each park from the suppliers. This is a commonly used method in this industry. A fixed price for each,park is determined and the various suppliers will submit a design to fit the funds alloted. There is no low bidder and the advanta.ge to the City is that we may get design offers which include equipment valued in excess of our "fixed price". Park and Recreation Commission requests that Council invite suppliers of play structure equipment to submit design proposals for the installation of play equipment in.the following six city parks: Wentworth, Marie, Friendly Hills, Rogers Lake, Valley Park and Ivy Park. In addition to new equipment the costs allocated per park shall include the reuse of e�d sting equipment that is considered usable and meets current Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines. The amount allocated to each of the six park play equipment improvements is $17,500.

At the meeting there was some confusion over whether the public hearing at the Planning Commission should have been scheduled for January, instead of December. The December meeting is usually cancelled because of its coincidence with the holidays. However, the meeting was held in December as there were agenda items that could not be avoided. Because of this confusion, staff has not sent the five day mailed notice required of a CAO variance public hearing for the City Council level. Staff has contacted the Frye's and they have indicated that they would prefer to have their hearing at the second meeting in January, on the 16th. They wish to consider their options for proceeding in light of the Planning Commission's recommended denial. They have indicated they will consider redesigning the project, as well as moving forward with their original design. ACTION REQUIRED No action required. This item is for information only. At such time as the hearing is called we will forward the recommendation and the complete application and plans. 0 To: From: Subject: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 11, 1990 Mayor, City Council and City Administrator Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistant Public Hearing - Friendly Hills Tot Lot INTRODUCTION G At the November 7, 1989 City Council meeting, the City Council ordered a public hearing be held with the residents of Friendly Hills ne�i.ghborhood in order to consider the divestment of the Friendly Hills Tot Lot. At staff's recommendation, based on liability and public health concerns, the play equipment at Friendly Hills Tot Lot was removed in November 1989. The City has previously considered divesting Friendly Hills Tot Lot in 1980 and again in 1983. Please see attached staff inemos, minutes, maps, and letters for an overview of this issue and its history. nzscvsszorr The Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation to remove the tot lot from the City's park system was precipitated by the recent, successful Parks Referendum. When the parks bond referendum was designed by the Citizens Park Review Committee and the Parks and Recreation Commission there were no funds provided for improvements at Friendly Hills Tot Lot because it was duplicative of the improvements proposed for Friendly Hills Park. Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park will receive approximately $20,000 worth of new play equipment. This play, equipment will be within 300 ft. of the existing tot lot. The Parks and Recreation Commission feels the best use of the tot lot land is to divest it and use the proceeds for further park improvements in Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park. General Observations about Tot Lots In general, tot lots are not recommended to be included in park systems for surburban communities because it is economically inefficient to maintain them due to their small size. Tot lots are used in instances where a community's lot sizes are too small to include play equipment, such as a swingset, in a backyard. In Mendota Heights the required minimum lot size is 15, 000 sq. ft. In Friendly Hills, where the lot sizes are substandard, the typical lot size is 10,000 sq. ft. which is considered sufficient to include play equipment for children. In order to achieve the most efficient use of tax dollars suburban communities do not maintain tot lots and rely on the use of neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks are larger and provide for group sports, ball games and the types of recreational activities that you cannot do in your yard. The national standard for locating neighborhood parks is that it provide enough room for group play for the residents within a one-half (1/2) mile radii from the park. Park use problems usually stem from the size of the park being too small. In the past twenty years there has been an increase in the size needs for parks because of the increasing popularity of slow-pitch softball and soccer. With the increasing use of larger parks to meet the recreational needs of suburban communities, it becomes even more uneconomical to maintain tot lots. Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Planning Consultants for the City of Mendota Heights, have never recommended a tot lot system for any community. Proceeds from a Divestment of Friendlv Hills Tot Lot The Friendly Hills Tot Lot consists of four lots that each have seventy feet (70') of frontage. (Please see enclosed map) There has been no appraisal or survey done for the tot lot. If an estimate of $25,000 per lot is used, the proceeds after expenses for legal fees, etc., could be estimated at about $70,000 to $80,000. The methods of proceeding with any action to divest the land are discussed in the attached City Attorney letter dated April 19, 1983. The Parks and Recreation Commission have discussed the use of these proceeds at their December and January meetings and have agreed that any proceeds should be spent in Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park. They have listed possible expenditure items in their recommendation. RECOMMENDATION The Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommends, that if Council directs staff to clear title and sell the Friendly Hills Tot Lot, that the proceeds should be earmarked to Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park as listed by priority: 1. Friendly Hills Park Storm Sewer Improvements to Ballfield 2. Bituminous trails to link up with city wide trail system 3. Picnic shelter pavilion and hill excavation 4. Light Poles for ice rink 5. Comfort station 6. Several small picnic areas ACTI�N RE4U2RED Conduct the pubiic hearing. If City Cauncil desires to implemen� the Parks and Recreation Commission'� recommendation of October 24th and January 9th, it should direct staff �o bring action to clear title to Friendly Hills Tot Lot, sell �he land and authorize the funds to the Parks Fund ta be spent according to the recommended and prioritized expenditure items listed as: 2. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

(Please refer to the attached staff me�nos, ininutes and correspandence that details the his�ory of this agenda i�em.) At the last mee�ing, the Commission had generated a preliminary "wish list" and instructed staff to apply some cost estimates to the items an the list. Guy Kullander will have the cost estimates available for the meeting an Tuesday night. The list as disaussed is: � 1. Knack off the top oi the hill iri Friendly Hills Fark and build a picnic shelter. 2. The light poles around Friendly Hills ice rink need replacing. 3. Bituminous trai].s. ` 4. A comfort station. 5.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS December 7, 1989 To: Parks and Recreation Commissioners From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assistan %� Subject: Friendly Hills Tot Lot Proceeds DISCUSSION At the November 7, 1989 City Council meeting the City Council accepted the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation to remove the play equipment at Friendly Hills Tot Lot. However, they did not approve the second part of the recommendation which asked City�Council to approve divesting the land and turning the proceeds over to the Parks Fund. (See attached November 7th City Council minutes and November 2, 1989 staff inemo.) City Council'°s action was to order a public hearing at the January 16, 1990 Council meeting to discuss divestirig the lot with the Friendly Hills neighborhood. Council will consider the divestment after it has held public hearings with the affected neighbors. Council, in turn, has asked the Parks and Recreation Coxnmission to recommend what the proceeds from a divestment of Friendly Hills Tot Lot should be spent on, were Council to order a divestment. Both the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission have preliminarily indicated that these proceeds should be spent at Friendly Hills Park. Parks Project Manager Kullander and Consultant Barry Warner will be present with suggestions and specific recommendations. ACTION REQUIRED Review recommendations with Parks Project Manager and make any recommendations to City Council. , � �N ��,5 � �� 'y �)L,V�C l. ` � . 1 � i� a.re.v�,..�g,e. c- � , c �. �'`( FRIENDLY HILLS TOT LOT Park Commission Chairperson John Huber was present to review"Commission recommendations with respect to the Friendly Hills Tot Lot. He reviewed a letter from Attorney Sherman Winthrop written in 1983 and read the declaration of covenants. Mr:- Huber stated that the 1989 referendum provides for improvements to all of the neighborhood parks, however, no money was provided for the tot lot, nor was any intended to be provided. He informed Council that an old swing set and one other pZay apparatus exist on the tot lot and both appear to be in poor repair. It was the unanimous recommendation of the Commission to recommend disposing of the property and using the funds .from the sale to improve the Friendly Hills Park. The . Commission has a history of not wanting to maintain tot lots, and the play structure in the Friendly Hills park will be very near where the tot lot is located. Mr. Huber informed Council that the Park Commission feels the most appropriate method of disposing of the property would be to option 3 recommended by Mr. Winthrop, to initiate proceedings to clear title to the lots. Mayor Mertensotto stated that there are two issues: dilapidated play equipment which could be dangerous and presents a potential liability, and that the tot lot area is four residential lots. He stated that tot lots do not fit into the park maintenance scheme, and in this particular case, there is a tot lot within 300 to 400 feet of a major park where the tot facilities could be duplicated and put to a wider use. He informed Council that the problem is that the City has title to four lots but there are restrictive covenants stating that they must be used for a public use for a 25 year period unless 65� of the homeowners petition to vacate. He suggested that the play equipment be removed immediately, that action to clear title be started, and that if sold, the sales revenue from the lots be dedicated to create a special tot lot area within the Friendly Hills park. He recommended that Counc.z.l hold a public hearing, with two week mailed notice to Friendly Hi11s Rearrangement homeowners and Ayes. 5 Nays: o Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 double publication. If the response is favorable, Council could cammence action to clear title. Councilmember Cummins expressed his tatal support for the immediate removal of the p3ay eguipment. Councilmember Blesener suggested that Cauncil should have some general idea of what the praceeds might be and what the maney could ba used for, She suggested that the Park Commissian be asked to qive a recommendation for use of the proceeds. Cauncilmember Blesener moved to direct staff to remov� the Friendly Hills Tat Lot play apparatus as soon as is r�asonably possible. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. Cauncilmember Hartmann moved ta schedule a public hearing for January 16th with respect to the possible elimination o� the Friendly Hills Tot Lat along with direction to staf� to publish notice of the hearing in two successive issu�s af the legai new�paper two weeks prior to the hearing and to rnail notice of the hearing to Friendly Hills Rearrangement homeawners.

Mr. Duffy read four issues contained in a letter from City Attorney Tom Hart regarding minimum assessed value, insurance ' against majar loss, pubiic improvement costs and a letter of credit. In response to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Duffy stated that he daes not have a mortgage commitment at this time.

In both 1980 and 1983 the City had considered divesting itself oE Friendly Hills Tot Lot. At the time, there was neighborhood opposit3.on ta the City taking this action.

Commissianer Katz made a motion to change the name of Curley's Tot Lot to Valley iTiew Heights Park. Commissioner Spicer seconded the motion. Parks Project Manager Kullander presented an April 19, 1983 memorandum from the City Attorney regarding Friendly Hills Tot Lot. (See attached memo) Kullander stated that the current p3ay equi.pment is a severe liability hazard and it would be in the City's best interest to remove the eguipment, He also stated that the City had, in the past, explored ways of vacating the land. Kullander stated that he felt this was a good time for the City to clear title to the land, sell a.t and put the money inta the Parks Fund. He stated that adjacent neighbors would oppose this action by the City. Fie s�ated that aption three in the attached memo would be the mast feasibie. The Commissi.on discussed the options in the memo. Commissianer Katz stated this 3and was feasible £or a garden c1.ub but did not hold much interest as a tat lot with all the new equipment that would be going inta Friendly iiills Park which is only a block away, Commissioner Spicer made a motion to recammend that City Council: 1.

Parks Project Manager Kullander explained that he was in contact with five suppliers of play ground equipment and that they had all stipulated the City should give them a price and they would design an optimum set .of play equipment for that price. Kullander explained that this was a favorable situation for the City because it would eliminate a competitive bid situation and that each supplier would give a little extra in the hopes of getting more parks. Kullander explained that this also saves the City on contingency as we only have to design limited specifications and the play equipment companies incur most of the design costs. Kullander asked the Parks Commission for direction in the type of base material they would like to have with the play equipment. He explained the differences in sand, pea gravel and rubber matting and how they affect liability issues. Kullander discussed the play equipment specifications with the Commission. Commission Chair Huber requested that the Commission be given a range of materials to consider, from wood to metal. Members of the Commission expressed that the new structures should blend in with existing parks and did not desire brightly colored units. The Commission agreed that some accent color would be acceptable but "loud" or "brassy" colored units were not desireable. The Commission also stated that the play equipment should deliver to the whole range of kids, from toddlers to 12 year olds. The Commission reached consensus that only $17,500 should be specified as a price for the play structures in each park. Kullander stated that originally the Citizens Park Review Committee had budgeted $20,000 plus $4,000 in contingency for each play structure.

Dear Orvil: You have inquired as to the right of the City of Mendota Heights to dispose of the above property which is commonly referred to as the Friendly Hills "Tot-Lot." The property in question is in the name of the City of Mendota Heights. According to our information, at the time of the filing of the Friendly Hills Rearrangement Plat, a Declaration setting forth certain covenants and restrictions was also filed which provided that this property was to be used for a"play- ground area or for development as a school location or for a public park or for other public uses or purposes, all as may be permitted under the zoning ordinances of the Village of Mendota Heights, Minnesota." The formal Declaration provides that the covenants and restric- tions continue for a twenty-year period and then are auto- matically renewed for successive five-year periods unless at least 65 percent of the owners of the lots in Friendly Hills Rearrangement agree to their cancellation or modification. � Mr. Orvil Jahnson Page 2 April 19, 1983 It would appear to us that �here are t�hree possibl� alternative means of "eliminating" the application of these restrictions to this praperty. These al,ternative means are as fol.lowsz l. The canceliation or modification of the cavenants pursuan� to the terms af the formal Declaratian. That would require the consent of the owners of 65 percent of the iots in �he Friendly Hil.ls Rearrangement 5ubdivision. 2. A condemnatian proceeding by the City of Meandota Heights cauld be braught for the purpo�e o� "taking" the a.nterest of the Friendly Hills Rearrangemen� Subdivision property owners in �his par�icul.ar property. We would assume that every owner of a lo� in the Friendiy Ha.l2s Rearrangement Subdivision would have to be joined as a respondent in any such proceeda.ng. 3. The City could bring an action to "clear" title to the property in questian. The court in such a praceeding would have to determine what type of notice would have to be given to the owners of the lots in the Friendly Ail3.s Rearrangement subdivision, While there is no guarantee of how a court would determine that issue, it is possible that in view of the cir- cumstances, a court might simply require published notice or possibly on],y mailed notice rather than personal notice on all property owners. From a prac�ical point of view, it would appear to us that if the City dicl determine to dispose of this property, the most practical and feasible means o� elizninating the outstanding res�riction would be by bringing an actian to clear title in the manner set forth in paragraph 3 above. If you have any questions or desire any additional information in �his connection, please da not hesitate to ask, Sincerely yours, WINTHROP, WEIN5TINE & SEXTON By _ ��.�%�._.. ` -.,. Sherman Winthrop SW:srI � � r . � � � C ity o� ...1 �. • 1Viendota Heights January 2, 1990 Dear Friendly Hills Resident, Please find attached a copy of.a notice of hearing for the January 16th City Council meeting. Council ordered the informal hearing after receiving a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission to bring action to clear title to Friendly Hills Tot Lot, sell the land and authorize the funds to, the Park Fund. The Parks and Recreation CoYnmission made this recommendat3on to the Cauncil for several reasons. First, it is not the City's policy to have tot lots because it is inefficient for the Cityos park maintenance�crews to maintain them. Second, Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park, which is located adjacent to the tot lot, will be receiving new play equipment as part of the recent parks referendum, This park already provides the recreational needs for the neighborhood and will soon be enhanced with referendum improvements. , The existing play equipment in the tot lot was recently removed as a result of City staff inspection and subsequent determination that it posed a public safety hazard and potential liability for the City. Before any further action occurs, City Council wishes to hold a public hearing with the neighborhood concerning the future of the tot lot. The pur�ose of this public hearing would be to review the proposal and inform the neighborhood. It will also provide an opportunity for the residents to raise questions, provide additional information and express opinions regarding Friendly Hills Tot Lot. Should Cit� Council, following the public hearing, order staff to clear title to the land and sell it, the likely outcome for the parcel would be its development into four new single family homes. City Council has indicated they would like to see the funds generated by any lot sales reinvested into park improvements at the existing Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park. These improvements would be in addition to those already scheduled for Friendly Hills Neighborhood Park as part of the recent referendum. Additional information about Friendly Hills Tot Lot can be obtained at the front desk at City Hall, or by contacting me at 452-1850.

Danielson, Public Works Di r SUBJECT: NSP Night Watch Lights DISCUSSION NSP recently installed a night watch light for Mr. and Mrs. Don Baier at 741 Mohican Court. (The Baier's had discussed and received permission from their immediate neighbors before ordering the light). Immediately after the light was installed, Mr. Bernie Friel, also a neighbor (see attached map) contacted City a o determine where the light came from and to register a complaint. We informed Mr. Friel that the light was not installed nor approved by the City and suggested that he contact NSP for that information. Mr. Friel learned from NSP that the light was a night watch light that was ordered and paid for by his neighbors the Baier's. There then followed a lengthy period of phone exchanges between Mr. Friel, the Baier's and other neighbors, the Mayor, NSP and City Hall. After all this exchange, I ordered the light turned off subject to a final determination by the City Council on its status. The facts in this case are as follows: 1. NSP has been installing these night watch lights on an "as ordered" basis ever since the City has been incorporated. They currently have 37 residential and 14 commercial units inplace. The City utilizes these lights in the parks to illuminate the parking lots and warming houses. NSP feels their current City franchise allows them to install these lights (see attached Ordinance 201) . 2. After Mr. Friel was unable to get NSP to turn off the light based on his complaint, he made the Mayor aware of a section within the City's zoning ordinance that prohibits these lights (see attached Ordinance 17.14). If this ordinance were strictly enforced throughout the 1' City, there would be an extremely large number of lights that would be in violation and need to be ordered turned off. 3. Based on Mr. Friel's complaint, and the requirements of Ordinance 17.14, staff directed NSP to extinguish the Baier's light. The Baier's were not pleased with this decision and have requested that all night watch lights be turned off. (We have not done that). The Baier's have requested to be placed on tonight's Council agenda to request that Council allow this light to be turned back on. NSP has also indicated that they will attend tonight's meeting to discuss the status of their other 51 night watch lights. OPTIONS 1. � LEAVE ORDINANCE UNCHANGED Leave the ordinance as it is and continue to enforce it on a"complaint only" basis. The Baier's light would then remain off and all other NSP night watch lights would be reviewed for conformance to the ordinance. Others not in conformance would then be directed to be removed. Other offensive lights would then be evaluated on a case by case basis. REDRAFT THE ORDINANCE The ordinance was enacted to prevent glaring lights that constitute a nuisance. Its current wording is rather open and can be interpreted to prohibit almost any light seen from the street or residential yard. It seems that the ordinance should be redrafted to tighten up the language making it easier to enforce. The new ordinance language either eliminate the NSP lights, permit or allow them to continue are. RECOMMENDATION could then be designed to allow them only under City to be installed as they now Staff recommends that Zoning Ordinance Section 17.14 be redrafted. ACTION REQUIRED If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should direct staff to prepare new language for their consideration. Staff requests that Council give guidance on what general direction the new language should take. The implementation of the amendment could then be merged in with the upcoming ordinance amendments that are currently being drafted by staff for Planning Commission and Council consideration. The status of the Baier light also needs to be determined.

The amount of funding requested is naminal and staff recommends that the request be appraved. DzscusszoN As outlined in the attached letter, the DNR is asking the cities of Bloomington, Burnsville, Eagan and Mendota Heights for assistance in determining lonq range management strategies �or the neighboring deer popuiation. '�he 1990 deer survey would be conducted from a helicopter which wauld be rented on an hour3y basis. It is estimated that it would take appraximately 30 ta 75 minute� of fiight time with a helicopter to survey the area adjacent to Mendota Heights. Using last year's rental rates to approximate our cost for this survey, it is estimated that our financial contribution woulcl be na greater than $200.00, The City would be billed far the actual hours necessary to camplete this survey. RECOMMENDATION Given the nominal cast of thi� survey, it is recommertded that our participation in this effort be approved. Funding for this contribution could be appropriated from the administration sundry budget account.

O ice Memorandum oATp1/02/90 PHONE:�E'j1Z � 445-9393 A total of 140 permits were available for the 1989 special hunt, 111 for shotguns and 29 for baw a�d arrav. �135 of the 140 permits were issu,ed at the m.�d�tory h�ter ori�tatia� sessicn, Oct��r 13. 29 �r and arra� permits were issued by lottery fran 258 valid applications. 106 fir� permits were issued fran 135 valid applications. We selected 20 alternates for bow and arraw permits in case of non-appearance at th,e orientation, and we exh�asted the list to fill th,e perinits. Seven firearms hunters did rmt attend th�e orientatian session, atxi we oazly invited 2 alternates, so 5 firearm� permits coul.d ryot be issued. Sixty-on,e borius licenses were p�chased for the firearms hunt, so there were a total of 170 licenses valid for fireazms. We do not lm,ow h�ow m�y baw and arrow hunters purchased a Metro bonus license. � The Yiunt was cx�rubacted fmn Novenber 4 thrwgh Nov�mber 12 ( 9 days ). Recent previaus hunts were held on two consecutiv�e weeksnds {4 c�ys). It was hoped that the extra hunting time would lead to a larger harve�t. We believed '-1�t the extra time would allav the himters to bec�e more familiar with the .area �d with deer m�ovenents. We also felt that the added days would increase the probability th�at hunters w�uld be in the field on days when deer were activ�e . . • Thirty-three (33) firearms hunters (31�) took oave or more deer; 3 of these took tw� deer. Three bow �d arrav iwnters (10�) took 1 c%er each. Eighteen deer were registered with bonus firearms licenses, and 2 deer'were registered with bonus baa a�d arraa licenses. A total of 43 deer were taken in the hunt; 24 in Fort Sr�ellir� State Park a�d 19 in the Minn,esota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and vicinity. One road-killed deer was turned in at the registration station, but it is not ir.cludec: in. this �a2ysis. Deer *...ake!�! ?nClLif�2C1 13 males �d 30 femal� {Table 1). Six of the 13 males were �tlered, thus were illec�lly taken. Deer were taken by hunting canpartments as follavs (Table 2 and Figure i): (B1-3j Black Dog (Burnsville) - 10 i�i firearms including 3 illec,�l males aid 1 illec,�l fenale; (Ll-6) Long Meada�v (Bloanington) - 6 by firearn�s, includi.ng one illec,�l male, and 3 by Uav �d arrow; (F2) Fort Snelling Park (Mendota Hei�ts) - 12 by firearms inclu,ding 2 illegal males; (F1) Fort Snelling Park (Eag�) - 12 by firearms includir�g 1 illegal male. No deer were taken fran canpar�tents L2, L5, or B3. 22 deer were talaen the openin�g day (Nov. 4) , and 4 were talaen Nov. 5. 12 deer were tal�n d�ing th�e week (Nov. 6-10) . 5 deer were ta�n the last weekend (Nov. i1-12). H�ter effort was not systern�tically monitored. Six of the 33 successful firearms hunters (18�) reported that they hit a deer which they did not retrieve. None of the three successful baw amd arrow �unters reported hitting a deer which they did not retrieve. The overall .�eported waanding rate as a praportion of the retrieved kill was 14�. These data represent a minin►►,►►� wa�nding rate since we were not able to interview non-successful h�ters, arr3 some successful hunters continued to hunt ar�ci did t � not tal� arr�ther deer. Teeth (incisors) ar�d some jaw bon,�s were tal�n from most deer to more accurately determin,e age. Th3s arz3lysis will be don,e later this winter by Wildlife Research in Madelia. Deer wez�e weighed to give a general measure of pizysical co�ditio�, h�wever a different scale was used. Mean (average) weights in ki lograms ( pour�l.s ) were as follov�s : Adult male - 74 (163 )[only 2 were weighed] ; Ye+arlirjg male - 55 (120 )[ 2 we;re weighed] ; Adult Fena7.e - 48 (107) [16 were weighedJ; Yearling Fer�le - 34 (?6) [6 were weighed]; F�m male - 31 ( 70 )[ 7 were weighed l: Fawn fema].e - 26 ( 56 )[ 8 wece weighed] . Comparisons with p�t years canvot be made with certainty because we used a different scale this year ar�d beca�se yearling weights were mt calculated sep�ately in p�t years. If nscessary the differences between scales can be determined ar�ci the yearling weights can be calculated. Seven hunters took deer iilegally dt�ir�g the hunt. Six hunters took legally antlered bucks in violatian of th�e special rules regulating the hunt. Four of th,ese h�ters voluntarily reported the incidents arrl claimed to ha�e s�mp3y made raistakes; the deer were confiscated bat rv� citations were isst.tied. TtNo htmters reported takiryg bucks, but they had previously attenpted to cut � a�d r�ov+e the deer fran the area after dark. These deer were confiscated �d th,e hunters were cited for illegal taking ur�der federal law. One iiunter shot a doe illec�lly. He shot frcm his st�d within the open area, across the tracks into a closed area. This deer was arnfiscated �d th,e hunter was cited urvder federal regulations. All of th�ese hunters were allowed to contirntie hunting in the special hunt. No other violations were reported. To my l�vowledge, this vras the first "antlerless only" deer hunt in Minnesota. It was controversial within the Department. Staff fran Parks & Recreation, Enforcenent, a�d Wildlife expressed various misgivings. Srnne felt th�at such a hunt would lead to mistakes a�d violations which we did experience. Others felt th,at we shauld not have a hunt which forced hunters to pass t� "trophy" bucks, therebly reducing the ctuality of the hunting experience. Since th,e hunt, sane h�ve theorized that this regulation may have led to th,e relatively lav kill. That is, hunters may have passed.� fenales because they could n:ot be sure they were rvot males. Much of this criticism is theory or speculation which we c�'t doc�nt. The results of the hunt do n,ot, in my opinion, support sane of th�e criticism. First we did have mistakes �d violations. Five percent of the hunters were apprehended violating regulations. This is higher th� I e�ected. Hc�pefully, if such hunts are continued, Yiunters who c�rvot perform under these conditions will not apply. I don't l�aa if this rate of violation is unacc��tah12 t� t�`�z Depart�nt, �t we shr�ulci strive to rec�zce it in i�uture, similar hunts. As a mininnun, we sh,ould stre5.s the subject more strongly c�uring the orientation. Second, as I have argued in the past, tiwse hunters wiw feel tY�at this type of hunt is not a"qu�lity experience" do not have to apply for this hunt. We do not lmow how the hunters evaluated th,e experience th.is year since we did not ask them in a systertatic mamer. We should consider a survey to fir�i aut. Third, this hunt was v�ery effective, relative to past htmts, in removing fenale deer. The total harvest was canparable to the tw� previaus h�ts which allowed either sex hunting (Table 1). We harvested only 38 deer 1� firearms in 1987, including a late mur.�leloader hunt. Hawever th+e 1987 hunt also included and early baw & arraa hunt for which we do not l�ow the harvest. The harvest of fenales was second only to the 1986 hunt in which we took 50 fenales out of a total of 100 deer. Renenber also th,at the 1986 hunt was held during the hi�est recorded population densities on the area. As for hunters., passing up fenales bec�use of uncertainty, I don't lmaa, except we could � surv�y hunters to find out. I feel that it is jnst as lik,ely that tc�y fenales were "passed up" during either sex hunting tr� hunters wishing to take � ; bucks . In surmnary, this h�t was.not as successful as we had hoped, especially �ince we added 5 days to the hunting period. Havev+er, it was one of our tn�ost �uccessful hunts fran th� st�dpoint of population control. I w�uld sugport "�tlerless-only" hunts in thi.s area in the future. I would recanmex�d that we survey hunters to determine their perception of the "quality" of this hunt. I also w�uld recanmer�d that the Canmission�er's Order in future lwnts req�zire that violators of rules and regulatians of th�e hunt be excluded fran further hunting tilat year. They should also, in my apinion, be ewcluded fran application for future hunts. cc : DNR Parks , DNR �forcement , NII�T Val ley Refuge , NIN Val ley Deer Task Force Cities of Burnsville, Eagan, Bloomington, ar�d Mendota Heights� CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 8, 1990 TO: FROM: Mayor, City Council, City Administrator Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Assessment Cancellation INTRODUCTION Within the commercial district street light assessment roll, adopted in August of 1988, was an assessment against a small parcel of Mn/DOT right-of-way. Mn/DOT has asked that the City reconsider the assessment. INFORMATION The Mn/DOT parcel, depicted on the attached map, was assessed $612.73. The apparent logic behind its assessment was that although the parcel cannot be developed by itself, it may ultimately be purchased by (or released to) the adjoining property owners. Larry and I have discussed Mn/DOT's request and share the opinion that it should not have been assessed. It is possible that some day the land may revert to adjoining property owners, but it is not developable in its current form and receives no reasonable benefit from the project. Financing for the project consisted of special assessments and tax increment financing. We have discussed various options and feel that cancellation is the most appropriate. Deferment is a possibility, however we would cetainly like to avoid setting a precedent for recommending deferring assessments after certification. TID payment is another alternative. The�project is more than sufficiently funded,.and we do not feel that prepayment is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council cancel the Mn/DOT parcel levied under Improvement 11. � . ; • . ACTION REOUIRED the assessment against No. 86, Project No. If Council concurs in the recommendation it should pass a motion authorizing the cancellation of the assessment for Improvement No. 86-11 against Parcel No. 27-03400-011-75. �. � . � ` . �� -� a � \ /''" � o a� ' ' I�A�D ^ � I x (1� n j4 � � � $ � � � '+ � � .t �Mt� L L j -. . ;�ii'� �J � G" � 5 2 � M ON •, � f�r ;i ��Ja ,-' °� I ~'� � 3 ` * �J j �T �x3 ' S� a �Ee� Oi0-77 N 89°5' i4'E � �� V, ` �� 4 s7t3� tz� C HAEZLE.,S M. �*ERFiot�t ; 3?K.,O v�•.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 12, 1990 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Tom Lawell, City Administrator SUBJECT: Proposed Dakota County Legislative Policies for 1990 INTRODUCTION In an effort to bring about desired legislative changes, representatives from cities within Dakota County have annually developed a packet of position papers on issues deemed to have significant importance to the County. These adopted policies are then forwarded to the legislative delegation which represents Dakota County with the hopeful intent that these positions will be reflected in legislation considered during the upcoming session. It is the intent of this memo to present the draft �olicies which have been developed for the 1990 Legislative session, and to request formal`Council adoption of these policies. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND Several years ago it became evident to a number of Dakota County cities that there did not exist a unified voice advocating for, or arguing against, State Legislation which profoundly affects our residents. In response, the "Dakota County Administrator's Group", which is comprised of city administrators as well as senior county Staff, was formed. In addition to this obvious benefit of increased communication between these different organizations, this group has also annually developed a packet of position statements on issues which affect two or more communities within the County. This packet of position statements has typically been compiled in a draft format for presentation to the elected officials representing each organization. Subsequent to that, a breakfast meeting is typically held at which time Dakota County Legislators are invited to meet with Dakota County local officials to hear how our legislative agenda for the upcoming session. The legislative breakfast for this year has been set for Friday, February 2, 1990, beginning at 7:30 A.M. at the Burnsville Holiday Inn. DISCUSSION Attached for your information please find copies eight position statements being proposed for 1990. To summarize, each issue is identified below along with a two to three sentence synopsis of the proposed policy position. 1. Countv State Aid Distribution Formula of all brief The State Highway Users Fund was established b� constitutional amendment in 1958 as a means of providing funds for adequate highway construction and maintenance. The distribution formula for county state aid highway funds presently is inadequate in that it fails to appropriate adec�uate funding to address Twin City metropolitan needs. It is the intent of this position statement to redefine the distribution formula and amend the appropriation process to better insure metropolitan highway adequacy. 2. Road Impact Fees Any development of real estate will more than likely affect the transportation network surrounding the developed propert� Nearly all cities impose certain development fees in consideration of developing such property (i.e., water availability charge, sewer availability charge, etc.) the application of additional "impact fees" is questionable under present Minnesota law. It is the intent of this position statement to gain specific authorization to impose such fees at the discretion of the City. 3. Reaional Airport Policv I suspect that there is not much need for additional background information on this issue. This position statement is fairly generic in that it essentially accepts the "dual track approach" presently underway, rejects the University of Minnesota's Rosemount facility for consideration as a site for a new airport, and states that any future modifications to the airport be done with an eye (ear?) towards possible aircraft noise consequences. The policy also advocates that any new or changed distribution of aircraft noise should reflect and be firmly guided by existing community comprehensive plans and settlement patterns. 4. Hazardous Materials Response This position statement addresses the issue of hazardous material response capabilities as required by SARA Title III Legislation. This statement basically advocates for a regional approach to this issue including the request for State funding and coordination of such regional response. S ' � Given the infrequent need for such response and the extraordinary cost associated with the provision of this service, this collective approach seems to make the best sense. 5. Land Use Plannina Leqislation This position statement advocates for the passage of legislation to codify and unify State planning/zoning law which preserves the municipalities control over local planning issues. Prior versions of this legislation were drafted in such a way that many onerous requirements would have been placed on municipalities. This legislation has since been revised to better account for the need to keep local decisions at the local level. Therefore this position statement supports the passage of this newly revised legislation. 6. Comprehensive Solid Waste Legislation Although most of the cities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area are well on their way toward complying with landfill abatement standards, the recently passed SCORE legislation substantially expanded the roles of cities and counties in solid waste management. This position statement advocates for an opportunity to fully develop community programs without fear of additional State legislative amendments. The policy continues to support a system of operational flexibility in designing and implementing landfill abatement activities. Via this approach, involved parties can maximize local innovation and encourage active participation with the private sector. Lastly, the position statement advocates for continued or increased funding to implement landfill abatement programs. 7. Mass Transit This position statement addresses the nee integrated approach to transportation planning metropolitan area. In addition, the statement need to establish transportation funding as a the 1990's. 8. Comparable Worth d for an within the stresses the top priority in The requirements of the Minnesota Pay Equity Law, passed by the 1984 State Legislature, have been fully met by most Minnesota cities, and most believe that the resulting pay system is workinc� well. Recently however we have become aware that additional comparable worth legislation may be introduced in the 1990 session, significantly affecting the procedure and cost of implementing such pay systems. The proposed position statutory changes considered during RECOMMENDATIONS statement on this issue advocates that no in comparable worth guidelines be the upcoming session. Staff feels that the attached position statements adequately address a number of issues which have broad implications to Dakota County. The statements represent a consensus among units of local government within Dakota County, and it is important that our area Legislators be aware of our legislative intents and desires. It is recommended that the City Council review the attached statements and discuss any additions or revisions at our upcoming Council meeting. ACTION RE4UIRED Should Council wish to endorse the attached positions statements, it should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 90 - which sets forth that intent. In addition, interested Councilmembers should plan on attending the Dakota County Legislative breakfast scheduled for February 2, 1990.

One such technique is impact fees. An impact fee.can be defined as, "single payment(s) required to be made by builders or-developers at the time of development approval and calculated to be the proportionate share of the capital cost of providing major facilties�(arterial roads, interceptor sewers, - sewage treatment plants, regional parks, etc.) to that development. Impact fees under this definition are currently not legal in the State of I�innesota. Attempts have been made in the last few years to pass le.gislation in the Minnesota Legislature that would enable cities and counties to impose a road access charge (a form of an impact f�e) to all new developments. Proposals have been made in the past that would allow cities to.assess a.fee up to $750 per single family home against all new developments based upon the number of vehicle trips that the project generated. This legislation was introduced in the 1987 and the 1988 legislative sessions. Supporters of enabling legislation believe that legislat�ion allowing cities-to.collect a road access charge would•provide cities with a much needed additional source of "funding to help keep the arterial and collector street systems closer to fulfilling their • transportation needs. By collecting a road access charge at up to $750 per single family home for new or expanded land use, it spreads the cost of part of the arterial/collector street system over a� larger area of a city since the.new or.expanded land use would pay regardless of whether it was actually located adjacent to the � arterial/collector street. We believe that the cities of Dakota County, facing extreme growth and fiscal stress, need the additional. revenue that would beeome available to it as a result of a road access fee. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1: Support the passage of legislation that would enable cities and counties to impose a road access charge. � REGIONAL AIRPORT POLICY Positioa 8tatement BACRGROIIND: The Twin Cities Metropolitan region has actively debated noise and adequacy issues for almost twenty-five years. At the direction of the legislature, the Metropolitan Council undertook a study of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to consider its adequacy to meet traffic demand in the future and the environmental capacity (e.g., noise) of the community to coexist with the airport. Following eighteen months of study, the Council's Airport Adequacy Task Force recommended that the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Airports Commission implement a"dual track approach" that includes enhancement of capacity at the current site and land banking in anticipation of a replacement airport, should future air traffic demands warrant it. In 1989, the dual-track approach recommended by the Adequacy study was incorporated into legislation which established timelines for various tasks. - Enhancement of capacity at the current airport site includes the extension of existing Runway 4/22 and a reorientation of its departure routes to the south and southeast, over Burnsville, Eagan and other parts of Dakota County. The Airport Adequacy Task Force;also concluded that there is a reasonable risk that the current airport's capacity will be exceeded within five years. They therefore recommend the possible construction of a new north- south runway, immediately adjacent to Cedar Avenue, to meet demand for ten to twenty years, while land banking and environmental reviews are conducted for a potential relocation. As this time period expires, a decision would be made to either construct an additional runway at the existing site, (a third parallel runway), or to implement a relocation. The addition of a new north-south runway, immediately adjacent to Cedar Avenue, would probably introduce additional flights over Burnsville, Eagan and other parts of Dakota County. The addition of a third parallel runway would probably bring additional flights over Mendota Heights, Eagan, Mendota, Lilydale and other parts of Dakota County. Noise impacts are difficult to predict because the quieter, "Stage ITI" generation aircraft are expected to be integrated in airline fleets during this same time period. The idea of landbanking in anticipation of a replacement airport has already spurred proposals from South Minneapolis noise activists for the use of the University of Minnesota's Rosemount site., However, the Metropolitan Council asserts that public ownership of 17,000 acres and strict land use controls over an even broader area will be required to prevent a chronic noise problem. Based on those requirements, the Rosemount site is too small and residential development is too close and is rapidly expanding. If relocation occurs, it will present the classic public policy dilemma - what to do with a very good thing which has some very bad side effects? Economic benefits to Dakota County from proximity to an airport could be lost, shifted or gained in a reloc,��J�� K oc� 2 3 �9�� a� ��s�+�-� depending on the lacation af a new site. Moreover, the uncertainty of relocation could cause developer reluctance to invest in either �isting or potential Dakota County lacations. The same uncertainty will also pertain to the level, durat3.on or possible introduction of naise impacts in Dakota Caunty, and its relationship to residential development or redevelopment. R$CUMMENDATIONB: The "dual track appraaah" of the Airpart Adequacy Task Force is a reasonable means to allow a smooth transition from the current site, {and its capacityj, to a higher capacity at the current ar a new si.te. It alsa keeps reqional options open in the event that capacity projections prove inacaurate, but it could also introduce uncertainties in Dakota County that may dislocate commercial and residential development. In the final analysis, the Caunty�s best interests may be served by a palicy of support for the use and expansion of the current site and, if relocation is necessary, support for a site of sufficient size to avert envir�nmental issues of noise while also minimizing adverse economic impacts on Dakota County. Suppart for a new site should also be contingent on two other conditions: a) Under current criteria, the IIniversity of Minriesota's Rasemount facility shoul.d not be considered for a new airport. It is inadequateiy sized and too proximate to rapidly growing residential populations. b) Enhancement of the capaci.ty at the existing airport must be accompanied by an equally zealous commitment to the mitigation of passibie aireraft noise cansequences. �`�" ' Any new or changed distribution of aircraft noise in Dakota County should ' reflect and be firmly guided by existing community comprehensive plans and settlement patterns. m BAZARDOIIS MATER=AI�S RESPONSE Position Statement BACRC�ROUND In i986 Congress passed the Emergency Planning and Cammunity Right to Knaw Act as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act {SARA}. Congress enaated this law to help local cammunities protect public health and plan for chemical emergencies. To implement Title III, Congress required each state to appoint a State Emergency Response Com�mission (SERC), and this Commission then established Local Emergency Planning �ommittees (LEpC). Although these Lacal P2anning Commi.ttees exist, there is no statewide coordination for hazardous materials response. At a local level, the development of haaardous materials respanse capabilities is usu'ally dependent on city size and the perceived threat of hazardaus materials i.ncidents. It is often too expensive to adequately pravide hazardous materials response at the local level. New federal law requires all personnel responding to hazardaus materials emergencies to be properly trained and equipped. These standards require the vast majority of fire departments to provide additional e�ensive training or be in violation of the 1aw. It is impossible at the city or caunty level ta meet these training requirements within a . reasonable cost. One alternative is to pool resources so�every jurasdiction does not have to develop and maintain specialized hazardous respon�e teams. Regianally organized response teams are the most effective and economical approach for responding to hazardous materials emergencies. The Minnesota Emergency Response Commission is recommending tha� a number of advance or level III regional teams be estab2ished t�hroughout the state ta pravide a reasonable response time (1 hour or less) to potential sites of hazardaus materials emergencies. The team may include members fram various departments within the region or members coul.d be excl.usively from one department (e.g., St. Paul). �co�rmATxoxs � � 1. Authorize the establishment af regional hazardous material re�ponse teams to pravide response to all cammunities within a district. 2. Designate a central state organizatian ta establish, direct and coordinate a hazardous materials response system. - Under the direction of the Department af Public Safety - This organization would provide consistent standards and operating procedures, artd would insure proper respanse throughout the state. 3. The St�ate should support funding to cover the training, equipment, and operational casts necessary ta develap regional haza=dous material teams which meet Federa2 and State safety and �raining regulations, . C� ! LAND USE PLANN�N6 LEGISLATION Position Statement � 'I�;Z�.T�I13ii:�i SF15t0lHF1654 was developed to unify, clarify, and recodify the � existing planning laws for a11 local units of government. Previous drafts of these bil]s, discussed during the past two years, excited much municipal concern because of paorly��rafted sections {larqely instigated by one persan).. These drafts would have largely reduced the options availab3e to cities, and reduced the powers of eiected off3ciais to deai with problems for which they are held responsible. The present draft under discussian has retained the principal benefit (organizing and unifying the law), whi7e alsa remaving and carrecting ihe most obnoxious features af the early drafts. FEATURE5: The present standards required far variances are to be replaced by a siandard of "unnecessary difficulty", which is defined in the statute, Ali cities are required to have a Baard af Adjustment to handie variances, but this duty can be assigned to the Planning Co�nission, to a separate body, or to�the Council itseif. If it is nat handled directly by the Council, the decisions of the Board af Adjustment can be advisory {ta the Gouncil}, or final subject to appeal, or final, as the city may decide. Cities will be obiiged to reach a decision an Conditional Use Permit applicat�ons within 180 days. Parties aggrieved by C.U.P. decisians have 34 days to appeai. Cities wili have three years ta bring the-ir own ardinances inta campliance with the statute, after it becomes e�fective. The statute itself is 39 pages long; and makes many procedural changes; thase listed above are illustrative only. RECOMMEN�}AT I ON : 1. Support the passage of legislat�an to cadify and unify state planning/zaning law, provided that municipalities retain apprapriate options for their own unique circumstances. 2. Support the concept that elected City Council members shauld have the final decisian on plar�ning and zoning issues, if they wish. 3. Support the praposal ta give cities three years io update their laws to meet the praposed standards. 4. pppose any propased changes to the current biii that might serve to place additional restrictions on cities, or limit the powers histarically assigned io elected pubiic afficials. � COMPREHENSIVE SOI,ID AASTE LEGISLATION Position Statement In January 1989 the Metropolitan Council approved Dakota County's Recycling Implementation Strategy which included a segment on community recycling programs and strategies. The following April all Dakota County municipalities began residential curbside recycling using recycling bins and in May the Dakota County Recyclables Collection Center began accepting recyclable materials from County haulers. Throughout the year there has been substantial cooperation between the communities, garbage haulers and County to make the residential recycling program a success. The Legislature's Special Session of October 1989 passed • aggressive mandates regarding solid waste, including a 35% recycling goal for metropolitan counties by December 31, 1993 along with problem materials and hazardous waste legislation. By October 1990 the County must submit a solid waste management plan to meet the higher goals and include a household hazardous waste management plan. It is expected that solid waste management issues will continue to be one of the major environmental issues both locally and nationally. RECOMMENDATION3 1. There should be no major statutory changes for the metropolitan solid waste management system. - The recently passed SCORE legislation substantially expanded the roles of cities and counties in solid waste management. The elements of this system should be allowed to mature and incrementally evolve. The Metropolitan Council should continue to be the policy coordinator for this metropolitan solid waste abatement system, with implementation the responsibility of counties and cities. ,,,a�,,,PQoti�C - - We the current practice of relying on judicial interpretations of the federal and state constitutions' taking clauses. 2. The purposes and priorities for solid waste policies in the State of Minnesota may vary by region or even by community. These differences need to be recognized when legislation seeks to specify goals, disposal strategies, or program methods. Similarly, it must be recognized that solid waste disposal policies are important, but not paramount, matters 0 COMPREHENSIVE 80LID WASTE LEGISLATION position 8tatement Page 2 of state concern. They must be developed and implemented with awareness and accommodation of the many other important social purposes that confront state, county and local governments. 3. The policy, regulatory, and administrative framework for solid waste disposal in Minnesota should promote flexibility, local innovation, and active partnership with the private sector. - Program standards and/or performance goals (not compliance with specified/mandated methods) should continue to serve as the basis for evaluating program successes. For example, SCORE recognizes mechanical separation as an acceptable method for landfill abatement. - Solid waste program design and implementation decisions should be made the local and county levels of government. They can more effectively reflect the individual characteristics and preferences of their communities. Centralized administration and regulation should be a measure of last resort. - Solid waste programs should utilize and incorporate existing and developing private sector systems. Solid waste program design and implementation decisions should seek to minimize governmental entanglement in the marketplace. 4. Current funding mechanisms and levels for recycling and abatement efforts should be maintained or expanded. - There should be no new mandates in this policy"area without an accompanying source of funding. - The State and/or counties should continue to provide the major financial support for local abatement and recycling programs. To that end, the county waste surcharge authorization should be continued. � MA88 TRANSIT Position Statement BACRC�ROIIND Based upon recent legislative directives to the Department of Transportation, Metropolitan Council, Regional Transit Board and REgional Rail Authorities, a new era of transportation/transit planning and coordination has been initiated. The Metropolitan Council's ��1989 Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan�� and the RTB's ��1990-1994 Five-Year Plan�� establish the framework for maximum coordination for the design and implementation of an integrated transit system in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The Legislature should continued to stress the meri�s of an integrated system and establish �+ funding as a top priority in the 1990s. i�a� ��'�'�"'� PROPOSED ADDITION COMPAitABLE WORTH Position Statement BACKGROUNDs The Minnesota Pay Equity Law, passed by the 1984 Legislature, has mandated that all public employers conduct a comparable worth study and report the results to the State. Subsequent legislation has also mandated implementation of the study results by December 31, 1991 and prescribed certain penalties for failure to comply. Most cities throughout the State, and in Dakota County, have demonstrated their support for the concept and objectives of the law by completing studies and beginning implementation. Many have opted for a three year implementation program. Alleged pay inequities can be resolved through the State Department of Human Rights, the court system, or arbitration. Cities and the legislature need time to consider and analyze the results of the good faith efforts that have been completed. Changes at this ti.me could lead to unnecessary expense and delays in implement at ion . RECONII�SENDATIONS : 1. There should be no statutory changes in comparable worth guidelines and penalties until the current programs have had the opportunity to prove themselves. Emphasis should be placed on enforcing existing penalties and guidelines. 2. The State legislature should provide levy limit adjustments for pay equity implementation. 3. The legislature should not endanager the economic and efficient � provision of public services by prohibiting contracting out or joint powers agreements for various services, nor use public agencies as the vehicle to i.mplement pay equity in the private sector through contract compliance requirements. . - 1 - � s Y i t CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 8, 1990 TO: Mayor, City Council, City Administrator FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: 1990 Board of Review INTRODUCTION We have received notification from the Dakota County Assessor's Office of the date designated for the City's 1990 Board of Review meeting. The Assessor has requested confirmation of the Review Board date or selection of an alternate as soon as is possible. INFORMATION The date and time proposed by the County is April 10th, the second Tuesday of the month, at 7:30 P.M. Council has convened as the Review Board on the second Tuesday in April for the past _ two years. Although the Park Commission meets on the second Tuesday of the month, its meetings are conducted in the large conference room. There are no conflicts over use of the Council Chambers on April 10th. It should be noted that April 10th is Passover. Council may therefore wish to consider an alternate date. There is only one alternate date available in the County's schedule which does not coincide with a regularly scheduled Council meeting. This date is Wednesday, May 2nd. ACTION REQUIRED Council should pass a motion to schedule the 1990 Board of Review for either Tuesday, April 10th at 7:30 P.M. or Wednesday, May 1st at 7:30 P.M. s's`A•G V� VICTORY 140 220 230 57 60'1 1.0 PO 80' ± 478 100' . , LAKE 4§) LE MAY -200 ± - - • FURLONG sti 160 160'±/ \30 0 <b\Dt 57'+ 120' V 120 X30 1303 oP 2� 95'+ 100' \95' 105' 50 ;; .r I2d ±; Oy LAKEVIEW 444-;" 132'± 120' 100' State of Mn \goo <2�� 120' 60 `, _ 120' ± \( N n FURLONG ADDITION
