Members present included Mayor Mertensotto, Councilmembers Blesener, Cummins, Hartmann and Witt, Parks Chair Jim Stein, Commissioners Leffert, Katz, Lachenmayer, and Damberg. The City Council and Parks Commission met for a joint working session on the upcoming parks bond referendum. The session began with City Administrator Frazell giving a brief overview of the'proposed improvements in the park bond program. He indicated that 1988 updated costs for the approximate 17,mile bike trail system would be about $773, 269, and for the neighborhood park improvements $110,000. He reported that the City has an agreement with Centex Corporation to -sell the City 40 acres in the southeast area of the City for an athletic complex for a specified amount of $750,000. Frazell then added that parks consultant Barton Aschman's estimated cost for the improvements to develop that complex is $1,250,000. Total for all improvements is $2,883,269. City Treasurer Larry Shaughnessy reported that the park development fund has a cash balance of $308,000, and receivables of $68,700. He went over an analysis of the tax implications of paying off a bond issue in an amount sufficient to carry out the improvements as outlined by Frazell. A copy of Shaughnessy's analysis is attached to these minutes and made a part hereof. Mayor Mertensotto said that he would like to get the total amount of the bond referendum down to around $2.3 million. School District 197 Board member Judith Pendergrass reported that the School District would probably be.looking at an excess levy referendum in October, 1988. Frazell noted that Shaughnessy's estimates of tax implications are based on current property tax law, and that everyone is expecting the 1988 legislature will make some major revisions to the state property tax system. Frazell reported on the option under State law to do a mailed ballot, instead of operating standard voting polling precincts. After some discussion of the pros and cons, and because of the lack of experience with mailed ballots in the metropolitan area, it was decided that a regular polled January 12, 1988 Joint Meeting election would be conducted. Tentatively scheduled date is Tuesday, May 3, 1988, and the City will operate the same precincts as usual at the standard hours of 7 A.M. to 8 P.M. Mayor Mertensotto questioned the need for the additional tennis courts. Bernard Friel asked why the development costs in the latest Barton Aschman analysis are so much higher than the approximate $660,000 that was estimated in their June memo for their recommended layout of the park. James Losleben indicated that he had worked on the 1971 parks bond issue, and at that time it was concluded that the City had to get the amount down to the minimal amount needed to get started on a"parks program. He suggested that the program should be scaled back. There was some discussion about how the number of playfields and other facilities had been determined. There was a review of the fact that the original Barton Aschman Needs Analysis Study had looked at needs both in the year 2000, and at an ultimate population of 14,000 for the City. City Administrator Frazell reported that consultant Barry Warner felt that the development costs for the athletic complex could be reduced $250 to $300,000, if it were scaled back to complete only three softball fields, a baseball field, and parking. Parks Chair Stein said that he didn't think the City should sell the project short, or people would reject it at the polls as an inadequate facility. Commissioner Lachenmayer questioned whether there would be one question on the ballot, or would it be split. After some discussion, Mayor Mertensotto, and Councilmembers Cummins and Hartmann indicated that they felt there should be one question covering all the improvements in the total amount of the bond issue. Councilmember Blesener felt there should be two questions, separating the neighborhood park improvements and bike trail system from the community athletic complex. The discussion then returned to the amount of the bond issue. Commissioner Leffert suggested that if all of the facilities are needed, perhaps they should be done at once. Chair Stein suggested that a subcommittee be appointed to meet with the Barton Aschman consultant, to determine just what is needed. Ultan Duggan, Planning Commissioner, suggested that he felt the extra $22.00 annual tax on the average value home in Mendota Heights could be sold to the voters. January 12, 1988 Joint Meeting Commissioner Damberg said that she thought people first wanted the trail system, and she also felt the neighborhood parks are not in very good shape, and those two things together would persuade a lot of people to vote for the issue. After some discussion, there was a concensus that some type of steering committee to head up the marketing effort should be put together. City Administrator Frazell was directed to compare the original Barton Aschman cost estimate for the southeast area park, with the update concept, to determine why there was such a discrepancy in the cost. It was agreed that Frazell would have a report on the City Council agenda for next Tuesday evening, and that the Council would begin to take some action on the parks bond issue at.that meeting.

None of these calls resulted in any major fire damage. There was one call, however, that was extremely tough on our department. This call occured on Thursday, December 17 to Sibley High School. The department was called on to assist in a "full arrest" medical call. Apon our arival we discoved that the person requiring help was retired Assistant Fire Chief Rich Weinzettel. The department, along with the Police Officers and Paramedics did all thast was possible to save Rich but we did not succeed. Rich was very well liked by all that knew him and will be much missed. In honor of Rich the Department Members stood Honor Guard during the wake, and on Monday December 21 more than half of the active members of the department took the day off to participate in the funeral procession. Thanks to the help of the Mendota Heights Police Department, West St. Paul Fire Department, Inver Grove Heights Fire Department, Eagan Fire Department, Rosemount Fire Department and Hastings Fire Department we were able to pay Rich our Last Respects in a manner that is fitting for a person who devoted 30 years of his life as a Firefighter to the City of Mendota Heights. MONTHLY TRAINING Trained on proper use and maintenance of our self-contained breathing apparatus for approximately one hour, and then our training was interupted by a fire call to Mendota School. The Rescue drill was spent training on the proper techniques of structural fire rescue. All members present practiced advancing a pressurized hose line through the back area of the fire station. This was meant to simulate an actual rescue in a house, apartment or buisness. All members were dressed in full protective clothing and breathing apparatus and had to practice proper proceedures for searching for possible victims. In order to add to the realism the lights were shut off and the masks on the breathing apparatus were clouded to simulate a smoky situation Thirteen Members of the Department completed the 16 hour First Responder refresher course at our station. This course was needed to keep their First Responder Certification current.

DISCUSSION: As was discussed -during the 1988 budget process, the need for the new radios stems from the radio upgrade that has recently been undertaken. All of the radios in all of our department owned vehicles have been brought up to current technology except for the two that we are now replacing. r. r These two radios are in first line pieces of equipment and are nine years old. The radios were not replaced in the original program in an effort to save money at the time. With the addition and installation of these radios all mobile and portable radio equipment owned by the fire department would be current technology and not need replacement for a number of years. The repair and maintenance of the equipment should also be lower. The 1988 budgeted amount for both radios is $6000.00. i have obtained a Quote from Motorola Communications & Electronics for the Identical radios that have been installed on the other vehicles. This Quote was from State of Minnesota Bid Number M8363 for $2402.00 each installed for a total package price for both radios of $4804.00. RECOMMENDATION: It is my recommendation that we purchase both radios for installation in our apparatus giving us state of the art radios in all of our responding fire fighting units. Furthermore, I recommend purchase and installation of this equipment from Motorola Communications & Electronics from State Bid Number M8363. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council agrees with the above recommendation they should authorize purchase of the Equipment. JPM:Jpm CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 13, 1987 TO: Mayor, City Council, Cit✓�- ta or FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: NDC -4 Request for Joint Powers Agreement Amendment INFORMATION The Cable Commission, in the attached letter, is requesting that Council adopt a resolution to change the current Joint Powers Agreement language to make it easier to reach a quorum. For your information, this section of the agreement originally approved by Council in 1982, but subsequently changed at the request of South St. Paul, contained the following language: "A majority of the member municipalities shall constitute a quorum of the Commission." The intent of that language was that four of the seven member municipalities must be represented, which is the same intent as the proposed amendment. The current agreement language requires that at least 8 of the 14 delegates be present for a quorum to exist. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs in the NDC -4 request, it should adopt the attached Resolution No. , "RESOLUTION AMENDING JOINT AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT, NORTHERN DAKOTA COUNTY CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION." CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 88 - RESOLUTION AMENDING JOINT AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT, NORTHERN DAKOTA COUNTY CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, that the following amendment be made to the Joint Powers Agreement on cable television: VIII MEETINGS Section 3. Voting/Quorum A (majority]commissioner present from at least four member municipalities shall constitute a quorum of the Commission... Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this Nineteenth day of January, 1988. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS By Charles E. Mertensotto Mayor f WOD&SW Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk I i& NORTHERN DAKOTA COUNTY CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION c/o Municipal Center DE C L l00% N 1616 Humbodt Ave. o [)C4 West St. Pauli Minnesota 55118 612/450-9891 December 22, 1987 Mr. Kevin Frazell Administrator 750 So. Plaza Dr. Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Mr. Frazell: The Northern Dakota County Cable Communications Commission is requesting that the following change be made to the joint powers agreement on cable television. VIII MEETINGS Section 3. Voting/Quorum. A [majority] Commissioner present from at least four member municipalities shall constitute a quorum of fhe ro-mmission... The Cable Commission is requesting this change due to the difficulty of reaching a quorum. The Commission initially tried to solve this problem by meeting only quarterly, however, the problem remains. We feel the proposed language solves the problem of numbers while making sure that the individual cities interests are protected. Enclosed is a resolution adopting the proposed change. If you have any questions, please contact Vicky Long at 450-9891. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely yours, i� ( - 1?aleorA16 Paul Tatone Chair PT: pac CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 11, 1988 TO: Mayor, City Council, City AA W4ator FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Tax forfeit property classification INFORMATION We have received the County's annual request for approval of non -conservation classification of tax forfeited property. Approval of the classification will allow the County to sell the lots at auction if they are not repurchased by the prior owner at least one week prior to the auction date. The parcels on this year's list are all located within the Michael D. Dupont First Addition (Lots 9, 10 and 12). The Council has the option of requesting that the properties be classified as conservation so that they could be acquired by the City for a public purpose (water retention area, park, etc.) These are, however, buildable lots and there does not appear to be a valid public need for them. Council may recall that the park contribution required for the Dupont Addition is delinquent. If the requested classification is approved and the lots go up for auction, we will ask the Auditor's Office to notify prospective buyers that there will be a $600 per lot park dedication fee due at the time of permit issuance. RECOMMENDATIONLACTION REQUIRED I recommend that Council move to approve the non -conservation classification for Lots 9, 10, and 12 of the Michael D. Dupont First Addition and to authorize the Mayor to execute the certificate of classification.

MEMO CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS January 15, 1987 To: Mayor and City Council From: Kevin Fra l ' Administrator Re: Imple entation of Highway 55 Study INTRODUCTION On November 19th, Council met with residents of the Furlong, Rogers Rd., and Mulvihill neighborhoods to discuss the results of the Highway 55 Corridor study. A strong majority of the neighbors present expressed a desire to have the City move toward a plan of relocation and redevelopment. Staff was directed to come up with an implementation plan for consideration by the Council and residents. The purpose•of this memo is to outline that plan. The residents have been invited to attend the meeting to offer input and reactions. BACKGROUND Attached are the two redevelopment schemes proposed in the Dahlgren study. These are, of course, types of potential redevelopment, and blending and modification of the concepts presented are certainly possible. The redevelopment of the Mulvihill and Rogers Rd. areas are included in the City's exiting tax increment district, and therefore, are financially possible. The key to redevelopment of the Furlong Addition is creating a new redevelopment district and attracting private sector investment of a magnitude sufficient to create the tax revenues necessary to pay for the redevelopment scheme. The Dahlgren study revealed that a successful tax increment district for the Furlong land would require an office/commercial project of around $25,000,000 or an apartment project of around $18,000,000 (meaning of density approaching 20 units/acre). ' Frankly, I think attracting a development of this size within the next few years is going to prove difficult. Office vacancy rates in Mendota Heights are running around 10%, and in Eagan around 20%. Local developers feel the northern Dakota County market is still very soft, and attracting tenants "across the river" difficult. The multi -family housing market may be somewhat stronger. Lexington Heights, our only complex, has an occupancy rate of around 92%, which is better than average for most parts of the metropolitan area. As we have previously discussed, the impending Mendota Interchange highway improvements complicate the prospects for attracting development. The project was originally scheduled for construction during 88/89. With the failure of the legislature to approve the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax transfer last year, MnDot lost a great deal of funding, and all major projects in District 9 were put on indefinite deferral. Dick Elasky indicates that the Mendota Interchange is one of the top four priority projects for District 9, and if the legislature and governor accept the recommendation of the House/Senate Transportation Advisory Committee to return 30% of MVET to transportation and increase the gas tax $ .03/gallon, the Mendota Interchange will likely fall back into the program fairly quickly. Council may want to consider taking a legislative position on this issue. Another key to the Furlong redevelopment is question of whether to include lands from Resurrection cemetery. They own a majority of the lands between the platted cemetery lots and Highway 55. Cemetery representatives plan to decide by May 1 whether to release some of their excess land for other purposes, and have expressed a strong interest in working with us. While staff hesitates to recommend taking a "hurry up and wait" approach, it would seem to be very much worth our while to know whether these lands will be available before soliciting development proposals. The Rogers Rd. neighborhood could be redeveloped in connection with any Furlong redevelopment, or could stand alone. At any rate, the area is included in the City's existing tax increment district, so we are in a position to proceed with acquisition if Council so desires. The City would then simply "land bank" the area until a development is approved. The Mulvihill area redevelopment stands on its own, and United Properties is interested in acquisition of the neighborhood. Therefore, it seems that we might as well proceed with that redevelopment as well. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council consider the following actions: 1. Takinv an official City position on the transportation funding that would hopefully lead to construction of the Mendota Interchange project. 2. Authorizinv the Mayor and staff to hold neighborhood meetings in the Mulvihill and Rogers Rd. areas, to discuss preferences and options, both collectively and individually, for acquiring the homes. 3. Delay finalization of the land use plan and development Request for Proposals (RFP) on the Furlong area until after Resurrection Cemetery has decided on its participation. However, Council might also consider assuring the neighborhood that if the redevelopment option doesn't appear feasible by a certain date, say January 1, 1989, the City will proceed with plans to install utilities to serve the existing neighborhood. ACTION REQUIRED To discuss the outlined proposals and alternatives with the neighbors, and direct staff as to a desired course of action.

Several citizens were also present. The purpose of this memo is to answer questions which were raised about the cost of developing the athletic complex in the southeast area, to clarify the decisions which were tentatively agreed upon, and'to suggest a course of action to keep moving toward a Spring referendum. COST OF THE ATHLETIC COMPLEX The question was raised at the meeting as to why the June 4, 1987 Barton-Aschman memo comparing the Riley and Sibley sites indicated the cost of development on Riley to be $668,793, while the November 10, 1987 memo evaluating the alternative of the "loop road" concept put forth by Tandem/Centex estimated development costs at $1,224,000. The first $111,000 of difference can be easily accounted for by the fact that the $668,793 is a base cost number, while the $1,224,000 includes a 10% contingency factor. This brings the real difference between the two to $444,207 in base cost, without a contingency on either one. The remaining difference is accounted for by the fact that the current proposal is a much more ambitious plan than that originally outlined in the June 4th memo for the Riley property. The facilities comparison is as follows: "Riley" concept 35 acres 1 baseball field 2 softball fields 2 soccer/football 2,000 sq. ft. comfort station 160 parking spaces "Tandem" concept 40 acres 1 baseball field 3 softball fields fields 2 soccer/football fields 3,000 sq. ft. comfort station app. 300 parking spaces 3 lighted tennis courts hockey rink picnic shelter playground area 2,200 l.f of bituminous trail Consultant Barry Warner indicates that his June 4th memo was intended to provide a "Riley" alternative comparable in facilities to what was being contemplated for improvements on the Sibley campus. His opinion is that most of the improvements in the current "Tandem" plan will be needed by the community at its ultimate assumed population of 14,000, but not necessarily today, if the City can continue to use the facilities currently available on the Sibley campus. Attached is Table 6 from the 1985 Park and Recreation Facility Needs Study, which indicates recommended facilities for the community in the year 2000, and at ultimate population. Council will find it useful to compare the athletic complex proposals against this chart. It is almost impossible to make an item -by -item cost comparison of the "Riley" and "Tandem" concepts but the following additional costs for "Tandem" account for most of the difference between the two; Clearing and Grubbing* $ 47,200 Excavation 40,000 Sodding 50,020 Parking lot 42,550 Trail construction 15,400 Tennis courts (w lighting) 59,000 Other lighting 100,000 Comfort station 45,000 Picnic/Playground areas 30,000 Landscaping 20,000 TOTAL $449,170 *Additional clearing and grubbing costs are caused not only by the increase in size, but also because much of the land in the "Tandem" concept is more heavily wooded than that contemplated for the "Riley" concept. If Council desires, there is certainlyopportunity to scale back the program so as to reduce the size of the required bond issue. There seemed to be some difference of opinion among those present Tuesday night as to whether the program and issue should be reduced, or whether we should press ahead with the full agenda. CLARIFICATION OF PREVIOUS DECISIONS It is my understanding that the following were tentatively agreed upon at last Tuesday's meeting: 1. The bond referendum will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd. 2. Voting will be at the usual six precinct voting locations, with standard hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 P.M. 3. One question, encompassing the entire amount for the proposed improvements will be on the ballot. MOVING FORWARD City Clerk Kathy Swanson indicates that Council will need to pass a resolution calling for the referendum and setting forth the amount by the meeting of February 16th. Council needs to begin making some decisions about how the public information/marketing effort will be structured, and who will be involved in heading up the effort. Under separate cover to Council only, I have provided the list of those who had volunteered to help on the promotions effort last Spring. Since there seems to be a difference of opinion on the referendum amount, I would suggest that Council appoint a study group to review the proposed program with staff and consultant Barry Warner. The committee's charge would be to make a recommendation to Council on the amount of the referendum, and the improvements to be included in the athletic complex. Committee membershiV might included Council representatives, Parks Commission representatives, and community representatives (particularly those who plan to help in the marketing effort). Because time is of the essence, I would suggest the committee be kept small (5 - 7 people), or we will run into problems with scheduling meetings. ACTION REQUIRED 1. Review the information provided on the cost of the -athletic complex, giving staff any direction deemed appropriate. 2. Publicly affirm the decisions already made with regard to the referendum date, voting method, and question structure. 3. Discuss the public information/marketing effort, giving staff direction on a desired course of action. 4. If agreeable, appoint a study group as suggested to review the proposed program and make a recommendation on the desired improvements and referendum amount. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 7, 1988 TO: Mayor, City Council and City AMd r FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Kensington Environmental Assessment Worksheet INTRODUCTION: The Kensington Development proposes up to 540 units of attached multi- family housing units, this number of units falls within the threshold of the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) State Statutes making it mandatory that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) be prepared. The State Statutes also require that the City be the responsible governmental unit (RGU) for preparation and review of the EAW. DISCUSSION: An EAW was prepared and then reviewed and approved by the City Council at their November 19, 1987 meeting. The report was then forwarded to the appropriate agencies and published in the EQB Monitor and the Sun Current. The forwarding letters invited comments and the comments received are at- tached. There are two major comment areas, airport noise and traffic conges- tion. Airport Noise The City of Eagan is concerned that allowing more residential units to be built within the noise contours has the potential to harm Eagan: They feel that the presence of more residential units within the flight corridor in Mendota Heights will force more flights south over Eagan. Although they would prefer none of this land to be residential, they are particularly concerned about the single family units proposed on the school site (which is out of the EAW limits). Mendota Heights considered the land use options in the Southeast Area Comprehensive Plan Amendment and concluded that the proposed land uses are appropriate. The City has adopted an ordinance requiring higher levels of noise attenuation in area structures. The Metropolitan Council has found the proposed land uses to be consistent with their aviation policy plan. Traffic The City of Eagan, Mn/DOT and the MPCA all stated that they were concerned about the ability of the traffic ramp at Dodd Road and I-494 to handle the cumulative increased traffic from developments in both Mendota Heights and Eagan. The traffic that will be added by the Kensington residential project and the trips generated from this area will be in the opposite direction from the incoming commercial traffic into Eagan now causing the problems at the ramp. Staff met with Eagan officials to discuss their EAW comments and Eagan agreed to begin including Mendota Heights in their planning process now under way studying solutions to deal with the traffic problem. I called Mn/DOT District 9 to voice my objection to their comment and they reported to me that because of the known problems with this ramp they are making the•same generic comment with all EAW reviews done in the area. MPCA'stated that they would not insist on an EIS but will require that an Indirect Source Permit (ISP) be applied for. An ISP addresses air pollu- tion resulting from traffic congestion. Staff has taken the initial steps in preparing the permit. When I called PCA officials to discuss this per- mit, they stated that our multi -family density is nearly as low as single family in other communities and they did not forsee any problems with get- ting a permit. However, they did say that their rules for requiring an ISP specifically states that a permit is required when condominiums with more than 1000 new parking stalls are proposed within 1/4 mile from an Inter- state. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council review the EAW information and make a negative declaration on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). We further recommend that staff be authorized to work with Eagan on studying solutions for managing traffic associated with I-494 at Trunk Highway 149. ACTION REQUIRED: Council needs to review the EAW to decide whether their exists the potential for significant environmental effects considering the following factors from Mn Rules Part 4410.1700, Subp. 7: A. type, extent, and reversibility of environmental effects; B. cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects. C. the extent to which the environmental effects are subject to mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority; and D. the extent to which the environmental effects can be anticipated and controlled as a result of other environmental studies undertaken by public agencies or the project proposer, or of EIS's previously prepared on similar projects. If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 88- RESOLUTION CONSIDERING THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET (EAW) FOR THE KENSINGTON PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT and authorize staff to forward a letter to the City of Eagan requesting to be included in the discussions concerning the management of traffic at I-494 and Trunk Highway 149. City of Mendota Heights Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 88 - RESOLUTION CONSIDERING THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET (EAW) FOR THE KENSINGTON DEVELOPMENT WHEREAS, Centex Corporation, the developer has prepared an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the Kensington Planned Unit Development; and WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights has distributed copies of the EAW to the required agencies together with the Cities of Sunfish Lake and Eagan for their review and comments; and WHEREAS, the thirty day review and comment period for this EAW lapsed on December 30, 1987; and WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights has conducted public hearings regarding the approval of this Planned Unit Development; and WHEREAS, there have been no findings either during the subdivision public hearings 'or from the comments received during the EAW review process that would suggest that there is a potential for any significant environmental effects; and WHEREAS, Mendota Heights has reviewed the criteria for deciding whether a project has potential for significant environmental effects under the provisions of MN Rules Part 4410.1700, Subp. 7. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the staff of the City of Mendota Heights be directed to file a negative declaration with respect to significant environmental effects with the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and with all other persons on the EAW distribution list for the Kensington Planned Unit Development. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 19th day of January, 1988. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS :5 ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson, City Clerk Charles E.

The existing interchange design was based partially on the City of Mendota Heights Comprehensive Plan that stated that the area in the northeast quadrant of the interchange was to be a low density, single family residential area. That comprehensive plan has since been amended to*allow for commercial and high density residential land uses --a significant change in terms of trips generated by the potential uses. This change in development posture in the city, which includes the areas along Mendota Heights Road west of TH 149 as well, may result in overloading the intersection at TH 149 and Mendota Heights Road. Another concern is the combination of development proposals in Eagan south of 1-494 in the vicinity of TH 149 with those in Mendota Heights, and the effects on the I-494/TH 149 interchange. As the interchange experiences more trips in the peak hours, Mn/DOT will take measures to protect the integrity first of 1-494 and then TH 149. This may impact the local support roadway system. No plans to redesign the interchange due to demands placed on it by development are being considered, currently or in the foreseeable future. Any development proposals adjacent to Mn/DOT right-of-way may require drainage and/or utilities permits from Mn/DOT before construction. The developer should contact Don Fashant, District Nine Permits Officer (779-1141), for information regarding the type of permits necessary.

THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY MR JAMES DANIELSON DECEMBER 30, 1987 PAGE 2 Airport Noise. In reviewing the Kensington Environmental Assessment Worksheet, the City of Eagan is compelled to raise concerns regarding the proposed residential land uses, particularly low and high density uses, in an area generally defined and acknowledged as substantially impacted by aircraft noise. While the City of Eagan is aware that Mendota Heights has adopted the Metropolitan Council's model noise ordinance, it is also our understanding that the City has found it impossible to implement in its current form and, therefore, cannot be presumed to meet the necessary performance standards to adequately ameliorate noise impacts for future residents of residential properties. The area under consideration in the Environmental Assessment Worksheet lies within an aircraft operation area commonly referred to as the' Eagan -Mendota Heights Corridor. In order to contain operations' between existing residential developments, the city of Mendota Heights has acknowledged the area in question as being in a direct overflight path for safety separations during peak hour aircraft activity. The development of additional residential uses in this area, without recognizing it as an ongoing overflight area, will have an improper and unacceptable affect of narrowing the corridor to an area less than that needed for adequate safety separations by the Federal Aviation Admininstration. ' The cities of Eagan and Mendota Heights have engaged in an extensive study of this issue with the Metropolitan Airports Commission, and efforts are currently underway to reach a cooperative agreement on operational standards in this area. Unless the city of Mendota Heights is willing to accept the consequences of placing these land use categories in an area in which they are currently considering an overflight area, the City of Eagan would view this decision as contrary to these good faith negotiations and could not support it due to the significant adverse impacts that would imply for existing Eagan residential neighborhoods. In addition to airport noise, residents of the proposed development may experience unacceptable levels of noise and air pollution generated by Interstate 494 and adjacent roadways. The specific concern is related to the relationship between automobile traffic and resultant noise and air pollution. I-494 has been -operational for a short period of time and, as a result, has not actualized its fullest operational potential. Air and noise pollution problems may occur, however, as Average Daily Trips and Peak Hour Trips increase on I-494 and adjacent roadways. This environmental issue was not fully considered in the Environmental Assessment Worksheet. 6 MR JAMES DANIELSON DECEMBER 30, 1987 PAGE 3 t The City of Eagan suggests the aforementioned issues be addressed prior to construction of land development described in the Kensington Environmental Assessment Worksheet.

Re: Kensington Planned Unit Development CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS ENGINTERINIG DEPT. I DEC 31 1987 The staff of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has reviewed the environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) on the above referenced project. In the areas the MPCA has responsibility, we find that there will be no potential for significant environmental effects if the City complies with the conditions of the required Indirect Source Permit (ISP). Therefore, we do not recommend that you prepare an environmental impact statement. An ISP will be required for this project because this development includes over 1000 parking spaces and is within one quarter mile of a major roadway. The project includes 800 exterior parking spaces and 600 garage spaces within one quarter mile of Interstate -494. Application for the ISP should be made with Ms. Susanne Spitzer at 296-7723. No construction, including site preparation, may occur until the ISP has been issued. Thank you for the opportunity to review the EAW.

Danielson Public Works Director and Larry Shaughnessy Treasurer SUBJECT: Northland Drive Railroad Crossing Job No. 8232 Improvement No. 82, Project No. 6 HISTORY: Ever since the first layouts of the City's Industrial Park, Northland Drive has always been planned to cross the railroad tracks and intersect with Trunk Highway 55., During the time when Northland Drive was constructed in 1982-83, plans were initiated to make that crossing, however the Milwaukee Road Railroad rejected the City's application and we had to take legal action to force them to allow the crossing. The City prevailed in the legal action and the railroad was directed by the State of Minnesota to install the crossing. Then, to further complicate the issue, after the City received permission to install the crossing, Mn/DOT installed a temporary exit for I-494 at this same location with signal lights. It would have been very costly to modify the signals to provide for the Northland Drive access at that time only to have those signals removed when the temporary exit closed. The City decided to delay action. Several years have passed since the City was authorized to construct the Northland crossing and now Soo Line Railroad owns the track. DISCUSSION• United Properties is still very interested in having the railroad crossing constructed and have sent the attached letter asking the City to proceed. Since receiving the letter, we have been working with the Soo Line Railroad to determine the requirements for having the crossing constructed. They informed me that the City needs to pay the costs of the crossing upfront and then the Railroad will do the actual construction (see attached letter). As part of the approval process, United Properties was assessed all costs incurred prior to the assessment of the improvements to Northland Drive.. These totaled $36,000. The existence of a railroad crossing at Northland Drive will enable United Properties to develop the vacant property to a higher population use (office) as opposed to lesser value office ware- house. The crossing will also complete the planned traffic circulation in the Industrial Park. FUNDING As you can see the costs for the crossing are very high, but because the entire Business Park area benefits from the crossing, the City has 'i budgeted for the project to be paid for out of Tax Increment Financing Funds. ESTIMATED TOTAL COSTS Railroad Construction $162,140 Railroad Easement 5,500 Direct City Costs (Engineering, Road Const.) 20,000 $187,640 Contingency 12,360 $200,000 This amount is available in the Tax Increment Financing Fund now. Attached is a letter from United Properties requesting the use of funds for this project. Under court case law, the assessment of costs for such an improvement may not be assessed to the property owners as such a project is considered a general city benefit. During the past two years, United Properties property along Northland Drive has given the City Tax Increments of about $111,700. In 1989 this figure will increase substantially due to the Courtyard Hotel taxes. Further development along Northland Drive will provide even greater increments. With the funds available from past and current increments, and the lack of ability to levy special assessments, we recommend that the Tax Increment District pay the cost of the improvement. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council authorize the expenditure from the Tax Increment Fund and direct staff to work with the Soo Line Railroad to have the crossing constructed. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion authorizing the expenditure of $200,000 from the Tax Increment Financing Fund for the construction of Northland Drive Railroad Crossing. k ; UNITED PROPERTIES January 7, 1988 893-8828 WRITER'S DIRECT LM Mr. Kevin Frazell City Manager City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 RE: Northland Drive Railroad Crossing Dear Kevin: Recently, the Mendota Heights City Council discussed United Properties' request for the city to install a railroad crossing at the eastern end of Northland Drive in the Mendota Heights Business Park as well as an intersection with semaphore at Highway 55. I was told that a conclusion was pending two questions. First, what is the justification of using tax increment dollars with this type of improvement? And second, should United Properties contribute to its cost? The following points are meant to address these questions. The justification for using tax increment dollars for this improvement is as follows: - The legal test for'using tax increment dollars are: a) Is the project within the tax increment district? The answer is yes. b) Roadways are typically the cleanest use of tax increment funds because they are clearly for the public use. c) If the city is not using its tax increment money, it may be required to return them. Our request is a good opportunity to use available money. d) Is there a public interest? Yes, the improvement is warranted on the basis of improved access, better circulation, safety, and it relieves traffic congestion at other intersections. Northland Executive Office Center/3500 West 80th Street/ Minneapolis, Minnesota 55431/(612) 831-1000 Mr. Kevin Frazell January 7, 1988 Page Two - Our request is further justified according to the But -for test which asks whether development would occur at the right intensity level if this assistance was not available. This issue is difficult to quantify. However, we have extensive plans for making additional improvements for upgrading the environment of the Mendota*Heights Business Park. Our goal is to make it more attractive than our competition. We expect these improvements which include street lighting, colorful graphic banners on those street light poles, underground utilities, extensive landscaping, attractive and consistent signage, water features, improved traffic circulation, not to mention high quality development, will quicken the pace of development of the remaining 140 acres that we own. - Finally, 'the railroad crossing and intersection represents a one time improvement that, as previously stated,.*is in the public's interest, which is very much suited to a tax increment program. The following is meant to respond to the second question. Should United Properties contribute to the cost? - United Properties has already paid $36,000 to date for legal fees and study costs for this project through assessments. This represents approximately 18% of the total cost. - Within the established tax increment district, United Properties' developments currently generate $132,000 per year of tax increment. This does not include any taxes from the Contel building, the Northland Insurance Company building, and the Courtyard by Marriott, which will add significantly to the amount. - United Properties has yet to ask for any available tax increment funds in the 28 years that it has owned property in Mendota Heights. - United Properties has a substantial investment in Mendota Heights real estate, most of which is undeveloped land. Please consider the following facts: a) Land is a non -earning asset. We purchased the Mendota Heights Business Park land in 1959. Mr. Kevin Frazell January 7, 1988 Page Three b) Carrying costs on undeveloped.land include real estate taxes, assessments, maintenance, security, land improvement costs, and marketing costs. c) United Properties has taken tremendous development risks over the years. Building is the easy part -- finding tenants is a tremendous challenge. Southridge Business Center, for example, is still only partially leased, yet United Propeties is .carrying the cost of this two year old property which includes fully assessed taxes, mortgage debt service, and operating costs, and there is no cash flow. only properties with cash flow have value. Our investment and risk postion should be evidence that we do not expect a free ride in Mendota Heights. We have invested millions in your city. We simply ask to take advantage of an established tax increment program for the railroad crossing, which serves a public use. We believe that improved circulation will enhance the attractiveness of the Mendota Heights Business Park over our competition. This mean ' s a faster schedule for development, which will generate substantial tax dollars. We ask that you use the available tax increment dollars for the complete funding of the Northland Drive railroad crossing and Highway 55 intersection improvements. As I understand it, the construction of a railroad crossing is a very long process. We believe that the addition of the Northland Insurance head- quarters, bringing 200 employees from downtown St. Paul to Mendota Heights in March, will create an urgent need for improved circulation.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 15, 1988 TO: Mayor, City Council, City A�� rator FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Election Equipment Acquisition INTRODUCTION The 1988 Election Division Budget allocates $32,000 in capital outlay for the purchase of optical scan election equipment. The purpose of this communication is to recommend a system and ask for Council authorization to place a purchase order. INFORMATION We have attended demonstrations of both of the optical scan systems which have received certification by the Secretary of State's Office in order to determine which of the systems is most appropriate for Mendota Heights. While both of the systems available are optical scan, one system, the Optech III -P, is precinct based, in which case the voter votes his ballot, drops it into the reader and the votes are tabulated. The other system, the AIS 115, is counting center based -- the ballots voted at the precinct are delivered by the precinct judges to a counting center, where all of the ballots are then processed. This philosophy is the same as that which has been practiced in the punch card system, except that the counting center would be located within Mendota Heights and we would be sole owners and operators of the equipment. At a meeting Wednesday afternoon, attended by the Deputy County Auditor and City Clerks from Apple Valley, Eagan, Rosemount, Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul and other Dakota County communities, the systems were compared and we arrived at a common conclusion. There was unanimous agreement that those communities that are in a position to change voting equipment should purchase the same system. There was also unanimous agreement that the Optech III -P is the best system available. The cost to Mendota Heights for either of the two systems is essentially the same. The AIS -115 costs $30,000; each of the III -P's costs $4,800, plus $315 each for back-up program packs (we would require one unit and one back-up pack for each of our six precincts). The Optech system is currently used by all of Hennepin County and by the City of St. Paul. The only current AIS installation in Minnesota is Scott County. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that Council authorize acquisition of Optech III -P optical scan election equipment for use in the 1988 and subsequent elections. If Council concurs in the recommendation, it should move to authorize staff to issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $32,000 for the purchase of six Optech III -P vote tabulators, back-up program packs and miscellaneous equipment from Business Records Corporation, along with authorization for use of the equipment for the 1988 Primary Election and all subsequent elections. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JANUARY 11, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council J FROM: Kevin D. �ity Administrator SUBJECT: Response to Council Inquiry Regarding Status of i Mendota Plaza Upgrading At the January 5 meeting, Councilmember Witt asked staff to look into the status of the proposed upgrading of the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center by Paster Enterprises. The 110/D6dd redevelopment area is also one of the top priority goalsestablishedby Council, and the only one of the seven not currently in progress. Therefore, it is timely to get started with it. I have contacted Mr. Rick Bowie, project manager with Paster Enterprises. Mr. Bowie informs me that they have been working with several architects over the past few months, and just in December, came up with a preliminary plan that has captured their imagination. That plan allegedly involves leaving the Center intact, with an exterior facelift, and other site and building improvements to increase the aesthetic appeal. As you are probably aware, a new business, Gym Kids recently opened in the Center. I also understand that the chiropractic office has expanded its space, and Bowieireports that they are close to signing a contract with a liquor retailer. Mr. Bowie will be meeting with City Planner Howard Dahlgren and I on Monday, January 25, to take an initial look at their plans. We will also be discussing the broader issues of improvements to the 110/149 area (i.e., traffic flow, etc.). After that meeting I will issue a subsequent report to Council, and staff will try to begin identifying steps that can be taken to expedite area improvements. KDF:madlr
