To: Mayor.and City Council
From: Kevin Frazell, City Administrator
Re: Add -On Agenda for June 7th
Two new items (both relatively brief) are recommended for
addition to this evening's agenda, and additional material is
provided for four existing items.
3. Agenda Adoption
It is recommended that Council adopt the revised agenda
attached and,printed on blue paper.
9.a. Victoria Highlands Bid Award
Attached is the tabulation of bid award, and memo of
recommendation.
10.b. CASE NO. 88-15, Perron, Preliminary Plat
Attached is a letter from Mr. Perron that he requested be
forwarded to the Council.
10.1. Citv Hall Furniture
In light of the staff recommendation on funding the furniture
budget, we felt Council would appreciate an update on the
status of the City Hall budget.
Four major change orders have already been approved by
Council, either specifically or in concept. They include the
cedar shakes, the upgraded Council room microphones, the
raising of the Council and staff tables, and the redesign of
the front receptionist desk. The approximate $11,000 cost
for these items has been offset by the savings from the
initial change order amending the construction insurance
provisions of the contract.
Staff anticipates the need for approximately $13,000 more of
chance orders before City Hall is completed, most
significantly for a radio transmission tower, and for changes
inthe security alarm system. At this point in time, we
believe these extra expenses can be covered within the
project budget from residual funds, savings from debt
issuance expenses, and interest income.
In summary, we expect that the net total of change orders for
the building project•will run around $13,000, or less than 1%
of the original project amount.
The staff memo previously forwarded to you on the furniture
budget indicated that $60,000 remains for furniture, and
recommends that Council authorize the expenditure of up to
$50,000 additional from the General and Engineering fund
balances to complete the initial furnishings program. The
$60,000 is a conservative figure, and we are optimistic that,
in fact, more of :the furnishings will actually be able to be
purchased from this budget, and less from the General and
Engineering fund balances.
10.m. Request for House Moving Permit
Steve Patrick has provided the attached schematic of his v
proposed subdivision of this land and placement of the Glewwe
house.
10.a. Meeting with Parks Commission
Unfortunately, Saturday's workshop session didn't allow
adequate time to cover the parks issue in any depth. It is
imperative the Council and the Commission begin to make some
decisions on this issue, so that we can move forward on the
Centex developer's agreement.
Parks Chair Jim Stein suggests that the two bodies meet
together next Wednesday or Thursday evening to begin
addressing the questions we raised on Saturday. If Council
likes, I will attempt to arrange a pre -meeting tour of park
land in the Southeast area with developer Dick Putnam.
ACTION REQUIRED
To choose a time for a joint meeting, and indicate whether
Council would like to go on the Southeast Area field tour.
13. Closed Session to Discuss Police Labor Contract
Negotiations
Please see attached confidential memo, which has been
provided to Council only.

To: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator
From: Mr. and Mrs. John Perron
Subject: Case No. 88-15 - Perron Preliminary Plot.
We have a copy of the letter written by Mr. Goldman to the City
Administrator dated 4-6-88 protesting our choice to sub -divide our lot.
We would like to present our comments as we feel we spent the money for
our hearing and only Mr. Goldmen was heard. Mr. Perron has lived in
Mendota Heights his entire life as did his father and mother; and we have
resided at this property for 12 years.
When we chose to buid here, most people thought the lot to be unbuildable.
After considerable energy and money (hundreds of truckloads of fill), we
designed a beautiful lot. We enjoyed the large lot until the taxes
started to rise because of this extra land. The previous Council suggested
we divide it and since that time, we always assumed it was just a
formality.to have a variance granted. We chose to sell at this time
because we are nearing retirement and wanted more free time and less
expense per upkeep and taxes.
Our square footage is more than adequate and we have the support of all
our long time neighbors. They were aware of our plans and would have
backed us at the last meeting if we had any idea this was necessary.
We had no idea the opinion of only 1 or 2 could mean so much. We also
are wondering why Mr. Bertz and Mr. Goldman didn't protest the lot for
sale on No Freeway Road. This lot is only 1/2 block away from them also.
There is now an aberant home under construction on that lot that has only
84 feet frontage. We were never notified of their intent to build, but
we do not feel that another house will do anything but improve the
neighborhood. We also feel another home between our 12 year old house
and Mr. Goldman's 30 year old house would be an asset.
We are well aware of the 20 feet needed between homes as this is apparent
through the neighborhood. This would allow space for a 65 foot home --
more than our 2,400 square foot home of 46 feet.
We also have a map of the Copperfield addition showing many substandard
lots. These are $300,000.00 homes being constructed on lots the size
of ours and in a much more exclusive area.
Any builder would be able to design a home that would enhance the property
and we feel we are being discriminated against.
Many changes have come over a period of years and some of these changes
we don't like either, but one must live with change. We did not want
South Lane to become a thourofare for expensive homes, but that has
become something we now live wit4.

Now we would like some one to grant us the fair hearing we did not receive
at the Planning Commission level. We have been mislead by the staff and
the Commission and we feel due to Mr. Goldman's letter a decision had been
made before the hearing and we were not prepared to defend ourselves
because we expected fairness.

MEMO
JUNE 7, 1988
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. Fra vty Administrator
SUBJECT: Proposed Settlement for 1.988/89 Police Union
Contract
INTRODUCTION•
The police union representatives and I met yesterday
afternoon with BMS mediator Laurie Klayton. We have reached
a potential compromise that is acceptable to the union, and
one that I can recommend for your approval.
BACKGROUND ISSUES:
The session began with the two sides certifying the
unresolved issues in reaching a contract settlement. By the
certification process, these subjects are eliVible to come up
in any subsequent binding arbitration proceedings. The
issues were:
THE CITY
Salaries
Second year option
Insurance contribution
Dollar cap on longevity/
educational incentive pay
Method of accumulating leave time
PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
THE UNION
Salaries
Second year option
Insurance contri-
bution
Sick leave conversion
to vacation time
Severance pay program
Uniform maintenance &
cleaning allowance
After about an hour and one-half of give and take
between the two sides and the mediator, the following
compromise was reached:
1. A two year contract covering 1988 and 1989.
2. A 3.5 percent wage increase in 1988 and 3.5 in 1989.
3. A $10 increase in the City's insurance contribution for
1988/ a $20 increase in 1989.
4. A $175 per year uniform maintenance reimbursement for
each police officer.
COMMENTS•
Salary - The 3.5% increase in each of the two years of
the package, in my opinion, is a good deal for the City.
This is toward the lower end of settlements being reached by
other metropolitan area suburban communities (many are
settling for 4%). It also appears that inflation is heating
up, so the pressure for a higher 1989 salary increase will be
very real. This wage settlement also addresses our pay
equity concerns by extending to the police union an increase
somewhat less than that given to the non -organized group.
Insurance - The $10 increase for 1988 is the same as has
been extended to other City employee croups. The $20
increase for 1989, I think, is justified by the extreme
increases we are*.seeing in health insurance premiums. We
recently received notice that the League of Cities indemnity
plan was going up 35%, and the dental insurance program about
44%. The MedCenters coverage also increased substantially on
January 1, and every indication is that health insurance
premiums are going to continue increasing greatly. Therefore
a $20 increase,in the employer's contribution -for 1989 seems
reasonable. . '
Uniform Maintenance Allowance - I recognize that Council
gave this idea a rather cool reception when I brought it to
you before. However, it has become apparent to me that if we
are going to get a wage settlement at less than 4%, and avoid
going to arbitration, something else will have to be added to
the package. The $175 per year is roughly equivalent to the
extra 1/2% salary not being extended to the police union. Of
course, this does not increase in the second year of the
contract, so the City enjoys the full benefit of the lower
wage increase. Uniform maintenance allowances are not at all
unusual in police departments, and we are already providing
our public works employees with an annual clothing allowance.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is my strong recommendation that we agree to a
contract with the above provisions. It seems to be a fair
compromise between meeting the wants of the bargaining unit
and the needs of the City.
ACTION REQUIRED:
An indication of Council concensus on this issue is all
that is required this evening. A formal contract will be
presented for your approval after acceptance by the
bargaining unit.

FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: C.G. Rein Apartments, Case No. 88-19
nT qrl Iq q TnM -
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their May meeting
to consider a Planned Unit Development for 106 apartments to be located in
the Mendakota Estates plat directly south of the Fire Station (see attached
staff reports).
*After the public hearing, staff received the attached letter from Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson who live directly south of the proposed apartments. Mr.
Ted Zinner, who represents the Developer was sent a copy of the letter and
will be prepared to address the letter at the Council meeting. His general
responses over the phone to me were:
1. Move the apartments further west, away from Dodd Road.
- Existing storm sewer and electric transmission line easements on
the west prevent this.
- Dodd Road traffic is basically commuter traffic with high levels
occurring only during morning and evening rush hour traffic.
- The building is located on high ground to minimize storm water
drainage impact.
- There is transformer noise from the NSP Substation they are trying
minimize.
- The building is situated as it is after much study on many alter-
natives.
2. Increase Park dimensions along Dodd Road.
- Developer feels that it would be better to widen the dimension of
park along Mendakota Drive, the strip as it now exists is too
narrow.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Developement subject stringent
constraints by staff of the landscaping provisions in the southeast corner
to appease homeowners in this area.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Conduct a public hearing and then if Council desires to implement the
Planning Commission recommendation, they should pass a motion approving

MEMO
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: C.G. Rein Apartments
Case No. 88-19
DISCUSSION:
May 19, 1988
At the July 1, 1986 City Council meeting, approval was given to Bream
Homes, Inc. for a planned unit development to construct 34 single family
homes and 106 apartment units within the Mendakota Estates Plat (see
attached resolution.). Bream Homes is not an apartment house developer so
the 106 unit apartment site has been sold to C.G. Rein for development.
C.G. Rein has met with staff and has prepared the attached material
that very thoroughly explains their proposal. They also held an informal
meeting with interested residents on May 17, 1988. Staff offers the fol-
lowing comments on the plans:
1. When Mendakota Drive was constructed for the single family homes,
a watermain was stubbed out to serve the apartments. That water -
main will need to be looped through the site on a public easement
and connected to a 16 inch main at Dodd Road. This work will need
to be done at no expense to the City.
2. The Fire Marshal has some detail questions on the underground
garage concerning access and ventilation, are only two points of
access adequate and is there going to be adequate ventilation.
3. There has been no grading plan submitted for review. One is not
specificially required in the ordinance, so staff recommends that
as a condition of any approval that one be required to be sub-
mitted early on so that the drainage pattern can be reviewed and
approved.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Conduct the required public hearing and based on input from the hearing
and Commission comments make a recommendation to the City Council.

Mendota Heights City Council and Mayor '
Mendota Heights City Hail
RE: Proposed C.G. Rein apartment complex on Dodd Road
Dear Mayor and Council,
Development and construction of housing is an inevitable
part of life in Mendota Heights. The developer has been
granted the right to improve the property. We are not
disputing that turn of events.
Our concern is with the plat siting -- the location of
buildings and parking areas adjacent to Dodd Road.
We believe it would be in the best interests of both the
developer and the surrounding neighborhood if:
1. The buildings themselves are set back as far as
possible from Dodd Road.
2. The proposed park area is primarilly adjacent to Dodd
Road, rather than extending deep into the property.
In general, we would ask that the configuration of
buildings be shifted so that the courtyard would face the
northeast, rather than north. Moving the tall buildings a
minimum of 200 feet back from Dodd Road would be less
offensive to neighbors, and more appealing to potential
apartment residents. The parking area could lie between the
fire station and the courtyard, serving as a buffer between
residential area and the fire station.
The park area parallel and adjacent to Dodd Road would
also serve as a buffer, aesthetically pleasing and giving a
greater openness to the development. It is not necessary to
place multi -story buildings close to a main thoroughfare. An
open park area adjacent to Dodd Road would better _retain the
flavor of Mendota Heights as a suburban community with large
expanses of trees and greenery.
Finally, we would invite the Mayor and Council members to
visit our home and look at the proposed development site as
It impacts upon us.

Southwest Corner of
Mendakota Drive and Dodd
Road (see sketch)
Approval of Planned Unit
Development
1. This are of land consists of 10.6 acres and was a part of the Planned
Unit Development submitted for the Perkegwin Property located
generally south of the Mendakota Golf Course and westerly of Dodd
Road. At that time, the land was divided into several parcels: one was
sold to the Mendakota Golf Club, one was platted into single-family
lots, two were dedicated to the City for park purposes, and the
remainder were designated for multi -family homes at the southeasterly
corner of the site (the property in question).
2. As approved, by the City Council, the 10.6 acres were established at a
density of 'ten units per acre, with the provision that a portion of the
land may be given back to the City for park purposes. In this proposal
they propose to dedicate 1.67 acres on the northerly portion of the site
back to the City. This area of land is contiguous to a park strip
which runs generally south of Mendakota Drive.
3. The proposal is to construct a luxury rental development of 106 units,
with 157 parking stalls underground and 110 stalls above ground, for a
total capacity of 176 'parking stalls. The Ordinance requires 2.5 spaces
per unit which equals 275 parking stalls.
4. The multi -family housing Ordinance in Mendota Heights calls for a
minimum floor space of 750 square feet for a one bedroom unit, 800
square feet for a two bedroom unit, and 1,000 square feet for a three
bedroom unit. The square footage as proposed is 833 square feet for a
one bedroom unit, 1,254.9 to 1,899.1 square feet for a two bedroom
unit, and 1,568.2 square feet for a three bedroom unit. Therefore, it is
obvious that the units proposed are of substantial size and that is why,
in a three story structure as proposed, there is accommodation for more
than one parking space per unit. (Normally, in a three story apartment
building there is sufficient building area to accommodate one parking
space per unit.)
5. Attached is a copy of a market analysis prepared by the Lieder
Corporation analyzing the potential market and, in particular, as it
relates to other competing developments in the market area. You will

note that the propooed rents for the units in this project are $700.00 to
$1,500.00 per month. These numbers are indicative of the "high end"
rawbel range projected for this project.
6. The structure as cited on the property and its accessory development
(parking, etc.)* meet or exceed the Ordinance requirements. Although
the structure a000nnrnmdoteo all of the units plus central recreational
facilities in m single building, the configuration of the structure is such
that the building is broken up into a umrlem of wings reducing the
apparent rnaoo' of the building. You will also note that the nearest
portion of a corner of one of the wings is 50 feet from the
right-of-way of Dodd Road. Therefore, most of the structure is setback
substantially more than the rnlnlrnunm 50 feat required.

9. You will note that the land proposed to be dedicated to the City
consisting bf 1.67 acres shows the development of o gazebo and e
pathway. We suggest that this pathway and gazebo is appropriate,
though the location may be planed somewhat further to the mouth to
provide for the use of the remainder of the land as o port of the park
property to the north. It may also be helpful to extend the pathway
shown going to the northeast corner of the site to be extended along
Dodd Road at least as far south as the entrance to the project.
lO. The building materials are proposed to be brick as indicated on the
copies of the attached elevations of the structures. The use of this
material is an important element in maintaining the level of quality for
materialthe proposed development. Designation of this dii
of the approval may also be appropriate.

slight change in the layout of theparking, vi thedriveways

the drop-off points serving the structure. It would also be helpful, in
our opinion, if the sidewalk contiguous to the parking area was to

structure.
12. In gemaraL the proposed development oearnn to be appropriate and
confirms that the demand for luxury rental units in this area of the

Dear Mr. Zinner:
RE: Traffic Study
Mendota Heights
Apartment Complex
SEH File No. 88088
We have made a traffic analysis of the proposed apartment complex
to be built on Outlot A in the Mendakota Estates development.
The analysis is based on a site plan dated March 22, 1988, and
assumes 106 apartment units.
Based on the traffic generation rate we would anticipate for this
type of development at this location, we estimate the total daily
traffic generation at 742 vehicles. Approximately two-thirds of
the vehicles will be oriented to the south towards 1-494 and the
remainder north either towards St. Paul or to Highway 110.
In the morning peak hour, approximately 70 units will be leaving
the apartment complex. Approximately 49 will turn right and
should have little conflict with traffic. in the evening peak
period, there will be approximately 46 north bound left turns and,
20 south bound right turns into the complex. There will be about
15 vehicles exiting during the same hour.
The planned single family development on Rogers Lake, which was
the first phase of the Mendakota Estates PUD, is estimated to
generate approximately 340 vehicle trips per day. This
development should generate approximately 29 outbound right turns
from Mendakota Drive onto Highway 149 in the morning. In the
evening, there will be approximately 19 northbound left turns.
All other traffic movements created by the single family
development will be somewhat insignificant.

As you requested, we also calculated traffic generated by 140
residential units, assuming all would be single family units.
Under this scenario, we anticipate that there would be
approximately 96 left turns and 24 right turns onto Highway 149
in the morning peak period. In the evening, there would be
approximately 78 northbound left turns an * d 34 southbound rights
turns into the complex. Total daily traffic generated by the
total single family development would be 1,400 trips.
p
The combined siigld fammily uhlta a. -,d 4- as proL-
czed n
Mendakota Estates PUD, , would generate less than 1,100 trips per
day, compared to the 1,400 on their total single family unit
development. With the PUD, traffic would access at two separate
points, one for the apartment complex and one for the 34 single
family units.
Traffic volume added to the existing 11,000 vehicles per day on
Highway 149 would be rather insignificant for either scenario.
In the morning rush hour, approximately 1 1/2 cars per minute
would be added. With the combination of apartments and single
family units, the additional morning traffic south of the complex
is approximately 80 vehicles or approximately 1 vehicle every 45
seconds.
It does not appear that the volumes under either concept would
create significant traffic problems. The only anticipated delays
may result from outbound left turns from either scenario and from
any street or driveway along Highway 149.

LUXURY APARTMENTS, March 19, 1988
The proposed Rein Apartment Development of 106 units, located
in Mendota Heights, will draw residents primarily from that
general area as well as from the neighboring communities of
West St. Paul and some areas of South St. Paul and Inver
Grove Heights. Because of its outstanding location, the
development will also draw from Highland Village and the
Eagan area.
The luxury development with a proposed rent structure
from $700 to $1500 per month will appeal to an upper income
market for the most part comprised of empty nesters and
retirees, with some professional single people. These are
all persons that want freedom from the responsibility of a
large home and yard and want a maintenance free lifestyle;
more time for travel and to pursue other interests while
maintaining financial liquidity.
Luxury rentals have an extremely strong market, because
they offer the carefree lifestyle without the investment risk
involved in the purchase of a condominium or townhome.
The target market for the Rein Apartments is definitely
a high-income, mature resident, who after selling the family
home, wants space, quality and luxury ---but this time worry -
free!
This market makes an ideal apartment resident because
they do not want to move again in the foreseeable future; but
want a more permanent address.
Many of the target audience will own either a lake home
or home in the Sun -Belt, or both.
In addition the Rein Apartments will appeal to golfers,
particularily those who are members of the adjacent Mendakota
Country Club, or who are familiar with the Mendakota Golf
Course.
The average income of Mendota Heights families is
approximately $46,942; one of the highest in the state.
The Rein development will offer all of the amenities of
the finest buildings plus even more; 9 ft. ceiling, eat -in
kitchens, expansive decks, top of the line appliances,
concierge services and the biggest natural amenity of all -
one of the finest locations in the area!

HIGHLAND RIDGE
STUART CORPORATION
Highland Ridge is a luxury apartment complex located in the
West 7th area of St. Paul; minutes from Highland Village
Shopping area.
There will be a total of 228 units; one building of 129 and
the next building of 99. May 1 is the target date for
occupancy Phase I. There are several floor plan sizes and
configurations of one and two bedroom units. There are also
three bedroom units available. The buildings are four story
elevator buildings and rents go up $10 from the first to the
second and from the second to the third floor. The fourth
floor units have vaulted ceilings and the rent increases $45
from the third to the fourth floors (fireplaces and arched
windows). The Amenity building is spectacular! There is an
indoor pool, a spacious party room, and up to date exercise
room and aerobics studio complete with brass rail and mirrors
and very appealing colors, furniture and plants.
One of the selling points is that people have their own
Health Club and do not have to pay extra membership fees.
The units are individually metered.
According to the leasing agents, the resident profile is
diverse. Many interested persons have been the empty nesters
who do not want to move out of Highland Village area.
The angled units seem to be the most popular. The three
bedroom units do not have good views, which has been somewhat
of a drawback. The apartments are also located close to the
railroad tracks, which in some cases has been a negative!

wood. lie's always been a renter and
was intrigued by the luxurious ap-
pointments and views offered by Ri-
vcrwood.
"I like renting," he said, "It's partial-
ly an investment for me. Sure it's
$1,000 a month, but I quite frankly
don't want to invest $175,000 in a
condo at the moment. The condo
market is a little soft.... I suppose
I'm missing out on tax deductions,
but I don't want to invest in some-
thing I can't sell."
Renting also offers Olson mobility —
if he sees another place he likes, he
can move, although he said he does
tend to stay put for a while. And he
plans to stay put at Rivcrwood, deco-
rating it as if he owned it. "I don't
want to live anywhere that there isn't
some of me in it," he said.
"One of the main markets for rental
housing in that price range are the
empty nesters (working couples
whose children have grown and left
home)," said lee Maxficld of Max-
field Research Group, which docs
market research for local developers.
"They don't need all the bedrooms,
bui they need the entertaining space
and they want a very special space, a
master bedroom suite with whirlpool
baths, that son of thing.
"An empty nester is looking to sim-
plify life. Renting becomes an easier
option than buying a condo. After
they sell their home, they may not be
sure what they want to do next, and
renting gives them an idea if they like
apartment -style living."
He said if a couple sells their home
for $200,000 they can invest that.
Even invested at a conservative 7
percent, that's SI,200 income a
month. "Thais rent," Maxfield said.
Klodt said another big pan of the
luxury rental market are yuppies —
in singles and couples. "And another
market that gets bigger and bigger
every year are the divorced; '.hc said.
"I've got projects where I'd say 50
percent of the tenants are 40 -year-old
divorced guys. There's a big demand
there — they want a nice home, and
renting is a quicker, easier option."
Klodt, who has developed residen-
tial, office and commercial complex-
es in the Twin Cities for more than
30 years, said he turned back to
apartments about two years ago and
to luxury apartments now because of
the pent-up demand.
Few new rental apartment complexes

then turned to building condomini-
ums.
KIWI and his competitors are cater-
ing to the luxury market with spa-
cious apartments with vaulted ceil-
ings, washers and dryers in the units,
homey -looking exteriors, swimming
pools, community buildings for ten-
ant panics and tennis courts.
Louise. Scgrcto, an apartment analyst
for Goldwell Banker, said she thinks
potential renters are looking at both
the luxury apartments and the spate
of "Wiulously well-appointed condo
projects that are just scrapping for
tenants."
"But fur someone who wants to buy,
there's a stronger motivation to opt
for a single-family home in Edina
with the tax write-off you cam take,"
she said, especially since upper -
bracket homes tend to fetch better
resale prices than condominiums..-
Those
ondominiums.:Those who want apanment-style liv-'
ing now have the luxury rentals
available to them, at little investment
risk.
"Front a purely financial viewpoint,
owning is a better deal," said Brian
Smith, a tax partner with Arthur An-
dersen & Co., one of the nation's
largest accounting firms. "From a
pure tax standpoint, there is an in-
centive to own because you can de-
duct the interest on the mortgage and
the taxes, although a home is not a
good short-term investment.. You
have to own it for a while to recover
closing costs and gain equity."
Klodt argued, however,' "If people
use their calculators, itt'ssn. miwhMON
atak
cheaper to rent than it is to own. If a
person pays around $500 a month for
a nice suburban apartment, that's all
they pay. But if they buy a house and
have an $80,000 mongage, their prin-
cipal and intcrest"is about S700 a
month (at 10 percent interest}. Then
they have to pay heat, water, insur-
ance, taxes, they have to pay for
maintenance and replacement of
things — all of those are going to
bring you way over 51,000 a month.
So if you rented at 5500 and put that
otherS5W away in an investment for
30 years, it would easily be worth $I
million at the end of 30 years. Your
home might be worth $200,000 to
$300,000.
"Of course there are other reasons to
have a home — you might have
children and want a house, that son
of thing, but if you put all the facts in
front of somebody, and they're disci-
plined to save that money they're
saving by renting, it's cheaper to
rent," Klodt said.
Pat Hovland, vice, president of the
G
'Apartment uide, also suggests
it's"theoretically financially more ad-
vantagcous to rent than to buy, the
assumption being that you're not go-
ing to get as much equity out of a
home as you used to," because infla-
tion has slowed, and as a insult, ap-
preciation in home values has leveled
off
Renting or buying is simply a matter
of choosing a life style, whether it
involves easier mobility around the
Twin Cities or the country, or serves
as a transition from married to single
or from large single-family homes to
a home with fewer responsibilities,
Hovland said.' Apartment living—
whether rental or owned — has be-
cnme sncially more acceptable.

I MEMO
June 3, 1988
TO: Mayor, City Council and City
�& t, -A t or
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Ivy Falls Creek Informal Hearing
HISTORY:
After the "storm of the century" occurred in 1977 a City storm water
project was completed to partially control the water flow in Ivy Falls
Creek. That 1979 project extended from the West St. Paul border on the east
side of Somerset County Club to Laura Court. The study that established
that work also envisioned that someday similar corrective work would be
completed along all Ivy Creek and its tributaries from the West St. Paul
border to Lilydale however only the upper portion remains constructed.
The 1979 project was recently tested with the "super storm" of 1987;
the project passed the test. The work up stream from Laura Court survived
with minor damage, and enough water was held back in the Country Club to
allow only minor damage down -stream of Laura Court. Areas that did suffer
damage from the "super storm" were the Ivy Hill Park Reach tributary where
there have been no upstream improvements and the outlet from the pipe under
Sylvandale Road west of Laura Street.
EXISTING SITUATION
1. Ivy Creek East of Laura Court
Storm damage from the 1987 storm in this area is now being cor-
rected. Basically, damage was limited to some erosion around the
control structures. Costs for repairs are being funded in part by
Federal Disaster monies and in part by the General Fund.
` 2. Ivy Falls Creek West of Laura Court (see may)
Storm damage in this area occurred at bends in the creek and
around obstacles in the creek bed that oamae8 turbulence and
Potential Solutions:
A. Major Repair & Reconstruction
Implement Phase II of Ivy Creek construction. Estimated cost
is $550,000 (updated from 1977 study).
B. Minor Repair & Replacement
Selected repair to protect private property and maintain
adequate channeling, remove obstacles, repair outlet at SvIvandale and install bank protection at selected bends. Esti-

mated Cost: $75,000
C. Do
Require homeowners and or homeowner associations to take
their own actions to protect and maintain the creek.
3. Ivy Hill Park Reach (see map)
This area sustained the worst damage form the "super storm" bavluQ
received no upgrading following the 1977 storm. The outlet under
8yIvaodoIe Road north of Ivy Falls Avenue was repaired using
Federal Disaster funds, the remainder of this tributary remains
unchanged following the 1988 storm.

at Sylvandale, install selected bank protection at bends, and
repair sanitary sewer manhole. Estimated cost is $75,000.
C. Alternate to Either A or B
Increasing the holding capacity of the pond in Ivy Hills Park
would greatly reduce the quantity of flow through this reach
and minimize the construction work required. Estimated cost:
$50,000
D. Do Nothing
Requiring the landowners to complete their own repairs.
4. Ivy Falls 1st Addition Reach (see map)
This tributary was not greatly damaged during the storm however
the outlet behind 684 Maple Park Drive has silted in badly and
needs maintenance.
Potential Solutions:
A. Major Repair
Implement Phase II construction. Estimated cost $125,000.
B. Minor Repair
Clean outlet and improve outlet. Estimated cost $25,000.
C. Do Nothing
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has no recommendation at this time. The informal public hearing
was set to discuss the problems with the residents and Council in order to
solicit input and determine some direction for the next step. Last fall
when Jack Brassard, 1205 Sylvandale Road applied for a wetlands permit to do
some corrective work in his portion of the creek, Council decided to have an
informal hearing to discuss the Ivy Creek problem as a whole. Staff has now
sent letters (see attached) to all residents abutting Ivy Creek and its
tributaries inviting them to tonight's meeting.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Conduct the informal public hearing, staff will be prepared to give a
short oral introduction to the problem. No action necessarily needs to be
taken this evening, only general guidance on what course of action to follow
needs to be given.
Items to be decided include:
A. Should the City do major repair, minor repair, nothing, or some-
thing in between?
B. If we are to do the major repair, a consultant should be hired to
complete a feasibility report. With work commencing in 1969.
C. If we are to do the minor repair, City staff can do the feasi-
bility study. We would complete the study this year with the work
commencing in 1989.
D. Methods for funding the work need to be discussed. Staff assumes
that assessments would be levied for all work as opposed to
funding by general obligation. Assessments that were levied in
1980 for the work upstream were established on a high and low
benefit basis. Landowners abutting the creek were in the high
benefit area and the remainder of the watershed were the low
benefit area. Assessment rates in 1980 were 25 cents per square
foot for high benefit and 3 cents per square foot for low benefit.
Costs for this project will be significantly higher because of
inflation and the fact that the district area is much smaller.
Potential assessments for a standard lot if we complete the major
project could be as follows:
15,000 square feet X $0.50 = $7,500 (High Benefit Area)

PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Frank Fabio was present regarding the
moving of a home from Hunter Lane. Mr.
Fabio stated that Mr. Cochrane sold him the
home and has given him until July 1st to
move the structure from the Cochrane lot,
but that the Building Inspector has
suggested that he get Council approval to
delay the moving. Mr. Fabio stated that he
hasn't sold the structure yet and has no
place to move it to.
i
Administrator Frazell gave the Council a
brief background on the issue and
recommended that the matter be handled
I administratively.
The Council directed that Mr. Fabio work
with staff on the matter.
Mrs. Rita Joseph, 1915 Walsh Lane, stated
that she has been a resident of Mendota
Heights since 1956 and had to do all of her
shopping in West St. Paul until the Mendota
Plaza was built. She stated that she likes
doing business in Mendota Heights and that
she hopes the Council will approve the
renovation planned for the Center.
Mr. Virgil McQuay, 976 Kay, was present
regarding development at Marie and
Victoria. He stated that sight access at
the intersection is unsafe because of the
grading at the northeast corner of the
intersection. He also stated that there
are trees and brush in the ditch which
cause poor visibility at the intersection
Page No. 2330
May 17, 1988
and asked that something be done to resolve
the problems.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council has
asked the County to authorize four-way stop
signs at the intersection but that the
County has denied the request because the
intersection does not meet the County's
warrants.
Councilmember Blesener asked the Public
Works Director to be sure that the grade is
reduced on the northwest quadrant and to
see that the trees and brush are removed
from the right-of-way on the east side of
Victoria.
Mr. Joe Maeghre was present regarding
aircraft noise over the Lexington -Highlands
area of the City. He stated that he
understands the air corridor issue will be
on the MASAC agenda in late June and
expressed his frustration that the matter
has been delayed so long and there has been
no relief from the noise. He asked how
long it will take before there is any
relief.
City Treasurer Shaughnessy stated that the
City's MASAC representative, Bernie Friel,
had asked that the issue be delayed until
the MASAC June meeting because he would be
out of town for the May meeting.
Councilmember Blesener stated that the
Council has adopted a resolution stating
the City's position on the matter and that
the City of Eagan has also adopted a
resolution, and that both resolutions must
be presented to MASAC so that the
differences between the communities can be
resolved.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the Council
is as frustrated over the issue as is Mr.
Maeghre and that the Council's position on
the matter is clear but that Council has no
jurisdiction in the matter.
Administrator Frazell stated that MASAC
will consider the resolutions of both
communities in June, but that even if a
decision is made at the meeting, it doesn't
mean that the planes will change patterns
Page No. 2331
May 17, 1988
right away: the issue must still be
considered by MAC and the FAA. Mr. Frazell
stated that the bottom line is that
possibly nothing significant will happen
this year and that the City will be
fortunate if changes are made before next
spring.
HEARING: CASE NO. 88- Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for
09, COPPERFIELD FOURTH the purpose of a public hearing on an app -
ADDITION REZONING lication from Copperfield Associates for
the rezoning of the Weed property from R -1a
to R-1, along with consideration of a
preliminary plat for the proposed
Copperfield 4th Addition.
Mr. Dick Putnam, from Copperfield
Associates, stated that the Weed property,
9.3 acres of land south of the Montgomery
Addition and on the west side of Delaware
Avenue, is the final phase of the
Copperfield development. Mr. Putnam
reviewed the proposed plat, stating that
there are 17 proposed lots ranging from
15,000 to over 30,000 square feet in size
and that it is proposed that Stone Road in
Copperfield and Fieldstone Drive in
Copperfield III be connected with a long
loop street through the proposed new plat.
No access to Delaware is planned. Mr.
Putnam informed Council that the same
restrictions and covenants placed on the
other Copperfield plats will be placed on
Copperfield 4 and that the proposed plat is
really a continuation of phases 1 and 2 of
Copperfield.
Mr. Putnam informed Council that members of
the audience at the Planning Commission
hearing expressed concern over traffic into
their neighborhoods because of the loop
street. He stated that he'felt that if
cul-de-sacs were used, they would be too
long, and the possible access points to
Delaware would be at bad spots in the road.
A second concern of the audience, Mr.
Putnam stated, was over the existing trees
on the site. He stated that one of the
things that makes the site unique and
different from the balance of Copperfield
is the fact that there are some very nice
mature trees on the site, particularly
along the north border and near the
Page No. 2332
May 17, 1988
existing Weed homestead and on the west
side. Mr. Putnam pointed out that the
reason the plat is configured as it is is
to protect the major trees. He informed
Council that he will remodel the Weed home
and upgrade it, partly because it is a nice
home and partly because he does not want to
remove the house for fear some of the large
maples next to the home would be destroyed.
With regard to density, Mr. Putnam stated
that Phase 4 provides larger lot sizes than
any of the other Copperfield phases, and
that in preparing the plat he has tried to
be sensitive to the sizes of the lots
adjacent to this proposed plat.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed objection to
the proposed street, stating that it would
be a nightmare for snowplowing and an
obstacle course for residents.
Councilmember Blesener felt that it is a
very good street design for a residential
neighborhood, designed for the people who
will live in the plat. She also asked
whether the six points contained in the
April 20th report from the Public Works
Director had been addressed.
Mr. Putnam responded that the six points
were incorporated into the Planning
Commission recommendation and can be
incorporated into the final plat. He
stated that he will comply with all six
points.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and
comments from the audience.
Mr. Stuart Siebell stated that he is
concerned over the density (17 lots is too
high), feeling that there is the
possibility that it could look like a tract
development and that the minimum 18,500 lot
size should be larger. He further
expressed concern that traffic from the
seventeen additional homes will impact
Highpoint, Stone and Copperfield Drives,
which will be the major routes to the
development. He stated that he bought Lot
5 in Copperfield I because it was on a cul-
de-sac which went nowhere. He felt that if
the plat is approved there should at least
be a controlled speed to protect
Page No. 2333
May 17, 1988
neighborhood children. He pointed out that
170 additional trips through the
neighborhood could be avoided if access to
the proposed plat were from Delaware only.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Council
has no statutory authority to reduce speeds
to under 30 miles per hour
Mr. Chuck Gilbertson, owner of Lot 5 of the
Montgomery Addition, stated that there are
drivers on Huber who observe a 35 mile per
hour minimum. He stated that much of the
traffic goes by at 50 miles per hour, that
the speed is very dangerous and there does
not seem to be any control. Mr. Gilbertson
felt that stop signs should be installed on
Huber.
Councilmember Cummins pointed out that the
Police Department set up speed traps on
Huber at Council's request last year and
perhaps should do so again.
Council discussed the advisability of
installing stop signs on Huber and speed
limit reductions.'
Mrs. Virginia Dwyer, 558 Stone Road, stated
that the real problem right now is from
construction traffic and that the average
speed at 5:00 is at least 40 miles per hour
-possibly 50 mph on Huber. She felt that
enforcing the speed limit and letting the
construction traffic know that the speed is
being enforced is important. Mrs. Dwyer
felt that there should be a stop sign at
Huber and Highpoint and at Stone Road and
Highpoint. She felt that there should be
some additional traffic control at least
during construction.
Councilmember Blesener felt that Council
should pursue a temporary construction
access to those lots from Delaware but that
she would not want to see permanent access
from Delaware.
Mr. Putnam responded that there is an
existing driveway to the Weed home from
Delaware but that it is not of a size to
accommodate construction vehicles. He also
pointed out that while Mr. Siebell has
stated there will be 170 additional trips
from the plat daily, even if there were to
Page No. 2334
May 17, 1988
be 170 people coming out of the
development, not all of the traffic would
be going down to Highpoint - people will go
in all directions from the plat. He
pointed out that there are 178 lots in the
total project and that 17 lots is not going
to have a significant affect on traffic.
He stated that he has talked to the people
on Stone Road and they are not interested
in a main entrance to Copperfield coming
from Delaware at the Weed property. He
further pointed out that neither Stone or
Fieldstone was intended to be a cul-de-sac.
Mrs. Kay Handford, 2244 Highpoint, stated
that the traffic issue goes back to the
density issue. She stated that residents
are also concerned about the preservation
of the trees: this is the only remaining
wooded area in the Copperfield area. Mrs.
Handford stated that only 10 trees are
identified on the plat but there are over
200 trees over 28 inches in diameter. She
asked how many of the trees will be
retained.
Mr. Putnam responded that the area where
most of the major trees are is on the north
property lines and that no grading will be
done in that area. He stated that people
will work their homes around the trees,
pointing out that the buyers will want to
retain the trees. He reviewed drawings
which showed where grading will occur and
pointed out that he has already moved many
of the trees which would be lost in grading
the balance of the plat.
Mayor Mertensotto asked why`the streets
couldn't be cul-de-sacs -- bring a street
in from Delaware ending in a cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Blesener stated that the land
has been platted around and felt that this
is what Council has expected to see all
along for the Weed property. She stated
that she appreciates the concerns about
traffic, has no objection to placing stop
signs on neighborhood streets and felt that
the City should look at the possibility of
stop signs on Huber. She felt that the
proposed plat is consistent with the rest
of the Copperfield area in terms of lot
sizes, roads, and design.
Page No. 2335
May 17, 1988
Mr. Putnam pointed out that he would have
to do a great deal of grading to provide an
access point at Delaware at the existing
driveway and would have to do considerable
filling.
Councilmember Blesener stated that if this
would occur, it would cause the elimination
of many of the large trees and Fieldstone
Drive would then also become a through
street which would be very unfair to the
property owners on Fieldstone.
Public Works Director Daneilson pointed out
that Delaware is a County road and that he
is not sure that the County would give the
City permission for an access.
Mrs. Dwyer suggested that the residents
would be very happy if Mr. Putnam would
just remove two lots. She noted that 6 or
7 lots could be developed under the
existing zoning.
Mr. Chuck Gilbertson, 542 Huber Drive,
stated that he appreciated Mr. Putnam
listening to his concerns in the first
phase of Copperfield because he did make a
transition in the lot sizes and that he
appreciates the transition being made in
this proposal. He stated that he does have
some concern about the transition from the
large Montgomery Addition lots to the
smaller lots proposed here and the loss of
trees. He felt that the proposed density
is too high and that although Mr. Putnam
has made some allowances in the northeast
corner he would like to see lower density
with larger lots on the west side of the
plat.
Councilmember Cummins stated that Mr.
Putnam has done a very good job in
Copperfield but that in his opinion, two
things could have been done better: the
homes are too close together in many parts
of Copperfield because of the 10 foot
setbacks; and, the 30 foot front yard
setback appears inadequate. He felt that
Planner Dahlgren's suggestion that one lot
be removed from each of the properties east
and west of the Weed home would be both
pleasing to the residents and would result
Page No. 2336
May 17, 1988
in an even better looking plat.
Councilmember Witt agreed, stating that the
transition in lot sizes would be better as
well.
Planning Commission member Ultan Duggan
stated that he voted against the proposed
plat because he felt the six or seven lots
which would be allowed under existing
zoning would be better. He stated that the
developer is asking the City to reduce the
density from 40,000 to 15,000 square foot
lots and the City has a chance to say no to
the proposal. He felt that if the number
of lots were reduced, the plat would look
better.
There being no further questions or
comments, Councilmember Cummins moved that
the hearing be closed at 9:28 P.M.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels the
street design is poor, that the lot
frontages are too narrow, and that on'these
bases and the public comments, he is not in
favor of the proposal.
Councilmember Cummins stated that he feels
the concept is good and that any connection
to Delaware would result in significant
problems for the Copperfield area. He felt
that the transition from the Montgomery
Addition could be more appealing if the
developer were asked to provide minimum
18,500 square foot lots with a minimum of
100 foot frontages and 130 foot depths, and
setbacks of 35 foot front and rear yards
and 15 foot sideyards.
Councilmember Witt stated that she is
concerned about the variances that have
been requested in Copperfield and about the
front footages and felt that Council has an
opportunity to make this a transition area
and lower the density.
Councilmember Blesener agreed with
Councilmember Cummins' comments but felt
that the lots are decent size although she
felt that Council should try to come up
with a compromise. She felt that it is a
very good plat and that if what it will
Page No. 2337
May 17, 1988
take to arrive at a compromise is to move
some lot lines, Mr. Putnam should be given
the opportunity to think about making some
changes before Council takes action on the
plat.
Mr. Putnam asked Council to give him some
standards. He stated that he has submitted
a preliminary plat with lots much larger
than the other Copperfield Additions. He
also asked whether Council would mind if
the plat did not connect with Copperfield.
Councilmember Blesener stated that it would
make no sense not to connect the plats.
Councilmember Hartmann stated that the
Copperfield development was designed with
the intent that this land also would be
developed, and that is the reason for the
street configuration in Copperfield. He
agreed with the City Planner's remarks
about reduction in lots.
Councilmember Blesener asked whether
increasing the lot sizes to 18,500 but
still maintaining 17 lots would be
agreeable with the Council.
Councilmember Cummins noted that Mr. Putnam
has been very accommodating of all the
requests Council has made of him and that
Councilmember Blesener's suggestion would
make sense and would meet the standards on
lot sizes and setbacks he had suggested.
After discussion, Councilmember Cummins
moved to table a decision on the rezoning
and preliminary plat to the June 7th
meeting.
Councilmember Witt seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Council directed Mr. Putnam to reduce ythe
number of lots in the proposed plat as
suggested in the Planner's report, and to
design the plat so that all lots maintain a
minimum 100 foot frontage.
CASE NO. 88-13, Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience
PASTER ENTERPRISES that discussion on the Paster Enterprises
application for conditional use permit to
allow a liquor store in the Mendota Plaza
Page No. 2338
May 17, 1988
had been continued from the May 10th
meeting.
City Attorney Tom Hart informed Council
that he has met with Paster Enterprises and
reviewed the proposed developer's
agreement. He reviewed recommended changes
in the developer's agreement.
Councilmember Cummins asked Mr. Paster for
clarification on estimated remodeling costs,
and exterior colors, asking whether the
$125,000 estimate was what is proposed for
all of Phase 1.
Mr. Paster stated that he is working
strictly with architects and they would
have to be present to discuss colors. With
regard to costs, he stated that $125,000
will not dress up the center and he has no
idea of what the costs will be until the
architects finish the plans.
Councilmember Cummins stated that he wants
to make sure the City gets assurances that
it will get the quality renovation Paster
Enterprises talked about at the last
meeting, including assurances that Council
will maintain control over types of
materials, etc.
Councilmember Blesener asked Attorney Hart
how the application must be processed, as a
new PUD or as a conditional use permit.
Mr. Hart stated that if only the renovation
of the existing facility is addressed, the
PUD process is not required, but if Paster
Enterprises wishes to have Council
consideration of the total package
including Phase 2, the PUD process would
apply. Responding to a question from
Councilmember Cummins, Mr. Hart stated that
the Council can require the right of
specific performance in the developers
agreement and that the agreement
incorporates the representations as to
architectural details that have been made
by the applicant.
Councilmember Blesener expressed concern
that the agreement doesn't allow Council
any latitude in design and that Council
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Page No. 2339
May 17, 1988
doesn't know what it is buying since it has
not seen any formal plans.
Mr. Frisch stated that Mr. Paster wants to
get started on the project and will not do
anything that will have adverse effects -
he wants to do something that will work for
the shopping center. He noted that the
Council is being more restrictive than
Paster Enterprises has experienced in other
areas. Mr. Frisch stated that Paster will
lose a major tenant (MGM Liquor) unless the
conditional use permit is granted and if
the tenant is lost there would not be
sufficient financing to do the renovation.
Councilmember Cummins stated the Paster
renovation of the Sibley Plaza and Doddway
centers was very appropriate for those
areas, but that neither of those designs
would be appropriate for the Mendota Plaza
as Council envisions the City's downtown
area.
Mr. Paster, responding to a request for
clarification on what renovation Snyders
will receive, stated that he is working
with Snyders on upgrading the interior, and
that the exterior will not be upgraded at
this time.
There was discussion and agreement over the
agreement changes recommended by Attorney
Hart.
Councilmember Cummins asked what signage is
planned for MGM Liquors, and felt that
using the word "warehouse" in the store
name would present an inappropriate image
for the shopping center. Mr. Rick Bowie
responded that he would discuss the subject
with MGM but that it might not prove to be
possible to change the name from MGM Liquor
Warehouse.
Councilmember Blesener moved adoption of
Resolution No. 88-27, "RESOLUTION APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR LIQUOR STORE IN
MENDOTA PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER."
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Councilmember Blesener moved to authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
Page No. 2340
May 17, 1988
developer's agreement with Paster
Enterprises as amended to incorporate the
City Attorney's changes and Council
discussion this evening.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
CAR WASH The Council acknowledged a memo from the
Public Works Director relative to Council
discussion continued from May 10th on a
request from Mr. Brian Birch to allow
construction of a car wash at Dodd Road and
Highway 110, along with a letter from Mr.
Brian Birch.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Mr. Brich has
disagreed with the staff interpretation
over whether a car wash is an allowed use
for the property. He stated that the
question is whether Council wishes to
consider amending the B-2 District to allow
car washes or whether Council would
consider rezoning the property to B-4.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the potential
for amending the B-2 uses is doubtful since
there is so much B-2 zoning and rezoning to
B-4 would be precedent setting. He stated
that he likes the idea of structuring the
use within a shopping center rather than
allowing free-standing car washes, and that
it is hard for him to conceive of a car
wash with an office building above as Mr.
Birch proposes.
Mr. Birch stated that there are several
similar facilities in the Twin Cities.
Councilmember Blesener pointed out that B-2
is a neighborhood business district and
that she does not feel a car wash is a
permitted use. She stated that the list of
permitted uses in the district specifically
exclude drive-in facilities and that she
personally is not interested in adding a
car wash use to B-2 uses or in rezoning the
property to B-3 or B-4.
Councilmember Cummins stated that since Mr.
Birch is looking for informal consensus, he
agrees with Councilmember Blesener, and is
not interested in either rezoning to B-4 or
in making car washes an allowed use in B-2
since they are specifically permitted in
Page No. 2341
May 17, 1988
another district. Councilmember Hartmann
agreed.
Mr. Birch informed Council that he has
asked people in the area and they approve
of his proposal. He submitted a petition
signed by area property owners.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Mr.
Birch has not made official application to
the Council and is asking only for informal
consensus on whether Council would consider
upzoning and that consensus appears to be;
no. He suggested that Mr. Birch apply for
zoning amendment or rezoning and go through
the formal process if he wishes to have a
formal decision from Council.
Mr. Birch stated that he is not asking for
rezoning but rather for building approval
since he feels the car wash is a permitted
use in the B-2 district.
Councilmember Cummins stated that if Mr.
Birch makes application for building permit
Council will review it and give him a
formal decision as to whether under B-2 the
proposed use is a use deemed similar by
Council to uses allowed in the district.
Attorney Hart stated that there are in his
opinion practical differences that render
it not similar in use for purposes of the
zoning ordinance.
TELEPHONE SYSTEM Mr. Bill Burke, the City's telephone system
consultant, was present to review the
proposed specifications for a telephone
system for new City Hall.
After brief discussion, Councilmember
Cummins moved to approve the telephone
system bid specifications for new City Hall
along with authorization to advertise for
bids to be received June 21st.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.

STREET LIGHT Council acknowledged and discussed a memo
from Public Works Director Danielson
regarding a request from Tim Curley for a
street light at the City's bike trail
located at Lexington and T.H. 110 because

of his concern that the trail is too dark
and dangerous at night.
Councilmember Blesener stated that her
concern is that the whole frontage of the
SOS/Curley property on Lexington should not
be driveway. She felt that the driveway
should be chained off so that there is
clear definition of the driveway and
bikeway and that installing lighting is not
a solution to the problem. She also felt
that there should be some obstructions to
prevent cycles from using the bike path.
Mr. Curley, present for the discussion,
stated that when he makes a left turn onto
Lexington after work at night, he cannot
see because the area is so dark and that he
is concerned about pedestrian safety. He
stated that he would like to have lights
installed at both ends of the trail and
informed Council that a light would cost
$6.87 per month.
Councilmember Blesener suggested that the
matter be tabled until there is a solution
for cleaning up the area and that movement
of the vehicles using SOS, the furniture
store and auto repair shop should be
controlled.
Councilmember Witt stated that she would
not object to installing a light as long as
it is only a temporary solution and that
she would like to see Councilmember
Blesener's concerns addressed. Responding
to a question from Councilmember Witt, Mr.
Curley indicated that there are no concrete
plans for redevelopment of the property at
this time.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that a light be
installed for a year and that the need then
be re-evaluated.
Councilmember Cummins felt that Council
would be setting precedent for lighting
bike trails if the request is approved.
Councilmember Blesener stated that she does
not support the request.
Councilmember Witt moved to authorize staff
to order a light from NSP to be installed

along the bike path on Outlot B and that
staff be directed to continue addressing

PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES, MAY 24, 1988
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Planning
Commission was held on Tuesday, May 24, 1988, in the City
Hall Council Chambers, 750 South Plaza Drive. chairman
Morson called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock P.M. The
following members were present: Morson, Anderson, Burke,
Henning, Krebsbach, and McMonigal. Duggan had notified the
Commission that he would be unable to attend. Also present
were City Planner Howard Dahlgren and City Administrator
Kevin Frazell.
APPROVAL OF commissioner Burke moved approval of the
MINUTES April 26 minutes as submitted.
Commissioner Anderson seconded the
motion.

CASE NO. 88-15, Chairman Morson called the meeting to
PERRON, Lot Split order for the purpose of a public hearing
HEARING to consider a request from Mr. John
Perron, 1940 South Lane, to split off 85
feet of his 185 foot by 282 foot lot, to
allow construction of a new single family
home on the new portion. The new lot
would be 15 feet short of the required
frontage for a simple lot split.
Mr. Perron was present to explain his
proposal, noting that his taxes are
increased by $500 per year due to the
large size of his lot, and the fact that
the extra space is becoming more and more
difficult to maintain.
Chairman Morson asked for questions from
the audience.
Mr. Larry Bertz, 1912 South Lane,
objected to the proposal as he felt it
would be too crowded.
Mr. Roger Quick, 1281 Dodd, felt that Mr.
Perron should have an equal opportunity
to allow time to check on other variances
approved for a lot split with less
frontage than he is requesting.
May 24, 1988
Page 2
Mr. Phil Goldman, 1926 South Lane, the
contiguous neighbor to the north asked
the Commission to review his letter of
opposition and asked for action to be
taken tonight.
Mr. Perron asked why he should have to
maintain his lot for Mr. Goldman's
personal satisfaction, and he asked Mr.
Goldman if he would like to buy the 85
foot portion.
Mr. Goldman felt there was no undue
hardship demonstrated for the variance
and stated he has been a neighbor since
last July.
Mr. Perron noted that his neighbors on
Knob Road were all in favor of the lot
split and he could present letters from
them attesting to that fact.
Commissioner Henning asked what
constitutes a hardship?
Commissioner Krebsbach asked if there is
any way this 50,000+ foot lot could be
split.
Planner Dahlgren noted that a hardship is
based on a lots physical condition, not
on mere economic hardship.
Commissioner Burke felt that a small lot
in this neighborhood would be
uncharacteristic and he would be opposed
to the requested split. Commissioner
McMonigal concurred.
There being no further questions or
comments, Commissioner Anderson moved to
close the public hearing at 7:51 P.M.
Commissioner Krebsbach seconded the
motion.

CASE NO. 88-18, Mr. Tim Pabst was present to request a
PABST, LOT SPLIT simple lot split involving properties
located at 970 and 980 Wagon Wheel Trail.
He noted that we was representing his
father and brother in this matter and
that his brothers house encroached
somewhat onto his fathers property, thus
the request for the lot split to redraw
the lot lines.
Commissioner Henning moved to recommend
approval of the transfer of Parcel A from
the westerly line of Lot 18 to Lot 17,
and that Parcel B from Lot 17 be
transferred to Lot 18, as referenced by
the survey submitted to the Commission.

order for the purpose of a public hearing
INARY PLAT,
to consider a request for a preliminary
HEARING
plat from Mr. Tim Pabst, for part of
Government Lot 2, Section 33, Township
28, Range 23. Mr. Pabst noted that this
10.6 acre parcel of Industrial land is
located between Mendota Heights Road and
Perron Road, east of the new TH 13. It
is proposed that Lot 1 (or Lot C) would
be retained by the Pabst family for
future development; Lot A would be sold
to Foto Mark, Inc. for future expansion
needs, and Lot B would be sold to Stuart
Lloyd Company, which owns the Lloyd's
Food Products, Inc. building at 1455
Mendota Heights Road, also for future
expansion needs. The purchase agreement
is contingent on these sales to these
properties, if the subdivision is
approved.
Mr. Pabst noted that Lloyd's Foods will
separately ask for a vacation of the 60
foot right-of-way westerly of Pilot Knob
Road at a later date.
Chairman Morson asked for questions or
comments from the audience.
Mr. John Koenen, 2320 Swan Drive, asked
where the property was located, and upon
learning of its location, had no comments

CASE NO. 88-19, chairman Morson called the meeting to
C.G. REIN CO. order for the purpose of a public hearing
CUP/PUD, to consider a request from the C.G. Rein
HEARING Company for a conditional use permit for
a planned unit development to allow
construction of 106 apartments on Lot A
of Mendakota Estates.
Mr. Ted Zinner, Vice President of C.G.
Rein Company was present to explain the
proposal. He noted that the site was
designated for 106 apartment units and
approved by the City Council in 1986.
There would be a single access entry to
the site with seven inter -connected,
three story buildings with varied roof
lines. The amenities building would
contain a swimming pool, party room, card
room, exercise room and office. There
would be an outside tennis court. He
also noted that there would be 157
underground parking stalls, and 110
surface parkinq stalls, for a total of
267. City ordinance requires 265 parking
stalls. Mr. Zinner noted that the units
all exceed city requirements and that .
there will be 38 one bedroom units and a
variety of 2 and 3 bedroom units. The
smallest two bedroom unit would contain
1,250 square feet.
The exterior of the structures would be
75-80% brick with wood trim and there is
to be extensive landscapinq and berming
along Dodd Road for screening. The
buildings would be setback 50 feet from
the lot line, or approximately 70 feet
May 24, 1988
Page 5
from Dodd Road. Mr. Zinner also stated
that taller trees would be planted in the
southwest corner of the site to screen
the NSP power lines and substation.
Washers and dryers will be in each unit
with rents ranging from $700 to $1600 per
month. There will be an elevator in each
court. The traffic impact on Dodd will
not be significant and construction is
anticipated to be started in late summer.
The Commission noted that there were five
points mentioned in Planner Dahlgren's
report dated May 24, 1988, and Mr. Zinner
stated that he was agreeable with all
five points.
Commissioner Krebsbach noted her surprise
that this was not a "senior" building as
told by Bream a few years ago with plat
approval.
Commissioner Henning asked how high the
berm would be along Dodd and how tall the
trees would be. He also noted that the
entrance would not line up with Hokah
Avenue across Dodd, which was what the
neighbors wanted, so that traffic
congestion would not be so difficult.
Commissioner Krebsbach asked if
management was a top priority with C.G.
Rein and if children would be allowed in
the complex and what the vacancy rates
were in some of their other apartment
complexes.
Mr. Zinner noted that the construction
period is anticipated to be eight months,
with it being done in one shot, not
phased at all.
Commissioner Morson asked for questions
or comments from the audience.
Mr. Morris Friedman, 789 Hokah Avenue,
stated he would like to see the height
reduced and felt that this site was too
limited for the density proposed.
Mr. John Moy, 796 Hokah, felt the sewer
system would not be adequate and asked if
it would be enlarged.
May 24, 1988
Page 6
Commissioner Anderson noted that the
question of density was approved by the
City Council two years ago.
Mr. John Koenen, 2320 Swan Drive, asked
many questions regarding the size of the
units, the number of parking stalls, the
square footage, and sewer and water
runoff.
Mr. Moy spoke again on the height of the
structures. Mr. Koenen asked what
Bream's opinion of this project is.
Mr. Dale Johnson, 2215 Dodd Road, said
two years acro the Council showed plans
with the units spread across Dodd Road,
rather than the way they are proposed
now. He lives south of the proposed
buildings and would see them all and
doesn't like it. Planner Dahlgren noted
that the drawings referred to two years
earlier were only illustrative, not
approved as the final drawings. He noted
that there is a 100 foot green space
separating the Johnson home and the
apartments and this area is a good
buffer. He felt the City should request
NSP not to clear cut the trees in this
area to keep the screening efficient.
Mrs. Mary Lou Johnson, 2215 Dodd said
their home sits on a hill and she would
like the setbacks much further than 50
feet.
There being no further questions or
comments, Commissioner Henning moved to
close the public hearing at 9:13 P.M.
Commissioner McMonigal seconded the
motion.
Ayes: 6
Nays: 0

this created a hardship, especially since
it is a corner lot. The established
setback is 39 feet back and she proposes
to build the home 33 feet back, thus
asking for a 6 foot variance to allow
preservation of a wooded and wild area
along the north property line.

MANCUSO, VARIANCE
was present to request approval to build

Fremont curb line. His home is situated
on a through lot and his neighbors
garages are set back approximately 27
feet from the curb or 14 feet from the
property line. In order to allow the
Mancuso's to match the established garage
setback will require a 16 foot variance
from the rear yard setback. Since nearly
every other home along the north side of
Fremont has a garage in the rear yard,
staff had suggested that this matter be
processed as a variance rather than a
conditional use permit, with a $35 fee.
Commissioner Krebsbach moved to recommend
waiving of the public hearing requirement

Parks Commission workshop on June 4.
Commissioners Krebsbach, Morson and
McMonigal indicated they planned to
attend.
Administrator Frazell also advised that
it was the Council's desire to set public
hearings at the Council level at 8:15, to
allow time for minor items to be
addressed earlier in the meetings and
asked if the Commission wished to start
their public hearings at 8:00 P.M. to
allow variances or other non-hearinci

the applicants sit and wait through the
hearing process. It was the concensus of
the Commission to start public hearings
at 8:00 P.M. for the Planning Commission
meetings in the future.

May 24, 1988
Ms. Kathleen Swanson, City Clerk
City of Mendota Heights
750 South Plaza Drive
Mendota Heights, MN 55120
Dear Ms. Swanson:
LIMPING
A recent federal ruling requires every water utility in the
United States inform its customers of the potential hazard of
lead in drinking water, even if the danger is nonexistent.
Because of this law, the Saint Paul Water Utility is
publishing in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press and suburban
newspapers the public notice, "Lead in Drinking Water" as
well as a letter to our customers informing them of our water
quality. The notice and letter will appear in three
consecutive monthly issues of the newspapers, as required by
law.
We are writing this letter specifically to inform you of this
notification prior to its publication scheduled for June 8,
1988 in the Sun Current Newspaper. We are also attaching,
for your information, a copy of our letter and the notice.
If you have any questions or if there is any additional
information you may need, please contact us at 298-4100 and
we will be most happy to assist you.
Yours very truly,
Thomas Mogre
General Man er
L�
OUR SEQ,` 4TH FLOOR CITY HALL ANNEX - ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102
Dear Water Utility Customer:
Federal regulations require that every water utility in'the
United States provide public notice to its customers of the
concern for lead in drinking water, regardless of whether a
problem with lead in drinking water actually exists. The
purpose of the notice is to alert the consumer of the
potential for elevated levels of lead in their drinking
wate,r. The principal source of lead when present in drinking
water is from lead-based solders or lead pipe in the plumbing
of homes or residences.
The Saint Paul Water Utility is committed to serving you, our
customers, with a safe and dependable supply of water. Our
chemists monitor the water system to assure the water meets
or exceeds all federal standards for quality.
Water is discharged from the Utility's treatment plant at a
controlled pH of 8.2 to 8.4 which is non -corrosive; and, in
fact,- tends to deposit small amounts of calcium carbonate on
distribution system pipes, valves and other components. This
deposit forms a coating on the interior walls of piping,
further isolating the pipe material from the water.
Since 1979, the Utility has tested for lead in water samples
taken from the treatment plant and the distribution system.
These tests indicate the lead content is far below the limits
established by federal regulations.
Please read the following notice carefully and consider your
exposure to lead in drinking water due to your house or
building plumbing system. Utility customers who•desire a
test to determine the amount of lead in water taken from
their individual homes or property should secure the services
of a reputable laboratory to perform the analysis.
There are always opportunists who try to profit from
situations, real or implied. Please be cautious if
approached by vendors of home treatment devices malting claims
for lead removal. Only certain types of devices will remove
lead and then you must ask yourself the question, "IS THE
EXPENSIVE DEVICE NECESSARY?"
After reading the.following notice, if you have any questions
or would like more information concerning lead in drinking
water, please contact Charles Friedman at Saint Paul Water
Utility's laboratory - 489-1624.
The Saint Paul Water Utility distributes water to the
following cities: Saint Paul, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale,
Roseville, Arden Hills, Little Canada, Maplewood, West Saint
Paul, Mendota Heights and the Fort Snelling complex.
Saint Paul liater Utility
Public Notice: Lead in Drinking Water
The purpose of this notice is threefold: first, to address the potential health
effects of lead; second, to indicate possible sources*of lead in your drinkina
water; and third, what you can do to minimize your exposure to lead in your
drinking water if a lead source is present.
Lead has been commonly used in the manufacture of products in our society,
including gasoline, paints, batteries and glass windows, to name a few. Lead
is known to cause health problems if consumed or inhaled. Your local water
system, -the Minnesota Department of Health, and United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) are concerned about lead in drinking water. To date,
no beneficial effects of lead in humans have been found. Because lead accumu-
lates in the body, the health effects depend upon the level and duration of
exposure to the lead sources. Too much lead in the human body can cause damaoe
to the brain, nervous system, blood -forming processes, gastro-intestinal systems
and kidneys. The areatest risk, even with,short-term exposure, is to young
children and pregnant women. Lead in our environment is a public health issue
about which we should all be concerned.
There are two pathways for lead to enter the body. They are ingestion and
inhalation. One possible source of ingestion of lead is your drinking water.
In 1974, the United States Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
The SDWA requires the U.S. EPA to protect the public health by setting drinking
water standards for public water supplies. The ,EPA 'and others have determined
that lead is a health concern at certain levels of exposure. The current stand-
ard set by the U.S. EPA is a maximum of 50 parts per billion. This standard
will likely be lowered significantly, based on new health information of high
risk groups.
Part of the purpose of this notice is to inform you of the potential adverse
health effects of lead. THIS IS BEING DONE EVEN THOUGH YOIIR WATER MAY NOT BE
IN VIOLATION OF THE CURRENT STANDARD.
Lead rarely occurs naturally in drinking water. The principal source of lead
when present in drinking water is from lead-based solders or lead pipe in the
plumbing of homes or residences.
From the late 1800's to about 1930, lead -was a common material used for water
service pipe and interior plumbing. Since this time, other materials such as
copper and galvanized steel pipe have been used more extensively in residential
plumhina systems. Lead-based solders were commonly used to join copper pipe.
SINCE JUNE 1, 1985, THE STATE OF MINNESOTA HAS BANNED THE USE OF LEAD PIPE AND
SOLDERS OR FLUXES CONTAINING MORE THAN 0.2 PERCENT LEAD TO BE USED It1 ANY PLUMB-
ING INSTALLATION WHICH CONVEYS A POTABLE WATER SUPPLY.
Lead fro;rn pipes and lead-based solders enters the drinking water through corro-
sion. Water is an excel -lent solvent; therefore, when water stands in the pipes
of a residence for several hours without use, there is a areater potential for
lead to enter the drinking water, if a lead source is present.
I
Other factors that may increase the lead levels in household drinking water
include:
Moe and condition of household plumbing or water service pipes.
Naturally soft water can be more corrosive; and, therefore, creates the
potential for hia_her lead levels. In general, water in Minnesota tends to
be hard or scale f orminq.
Sane home water treatment systems, including home water softeners,. may
make the water more corrosive.
Hot water dissolves lead from pipe and lead-based solders more quickly
than cold water.
IN SUMMARY, LEAD LEVELS IN YOUR DRINKING WATER ARE LIKELY TO BE HIGHEST IF:
1. Your home has copper pipes with lead solder joints, or
2. Your home or water system has lead pipes and:
a. if water sits in pipes for several hours, or
b. if you have soft or corrosive water, or
c. if the home is less than five years .old.
NOTE: Water service pipes and interior potable water distribution piping in
all buildings constructed after June 1, 1985, should not contain lead
pipes nor should lead-based solders have been used in joining copper
pipe •
If you pare unsure. if lead is present in your household- plumbing or water service
lines, you should either contact your local water utility or a qualified plumber
to make this determination.
It is not possible to see dissolved lead in drinking water. The only way to
measure the lead level present in your drinking water is to have the water
analyzed by a qualified laboratory. The laboratory will provide you with the
sample bottle and instructions on how to take a water sample.
If you have your water tested and high levels of lead are found, or if you
believe that you have lead-based materials in your home or water service, there
are WAYS TO MINIMIZE THE EXPOSURE TO THESE LEAD MATERIALS.
o Do not consume or cook with water that has been in contact with your home's
plumbing for more than a few hours.
Before using this water for consumption or cooking, "flush" the cold water
faucet by allowing the water,to run until You feel a temperature change.
This temperature change should occur in 2-3 minutes. If you suspect or
know that your home has a -lead service pipe or connection, allow the water
to run an additional 15-30 seconds.to be sure the service line is "flushed"
also.
o Do not cook or drink water from a hot water tap. As previously mentioned,
lead dissolves faster in hot water than cold water. If hot water is needed,
use the cold water tap and Heat water on the stove.
o Use only the cold water faucet to prepare baby formula. Always "flush"
the cold water faucet as described above before preparing any formula.
o Use only lead-free materials for any plumbing repair work to b-- done. THIS
IS STATE LAW.
In 1984, the Minnesota Department of Health completed,a survey of lead in drink-
ing water in buildings less than three years old. The results of this survey
indicated that the source of lead found in the drinking water was from the
building plumbing systems. The survey also demonstrated that "flushing" the
water tap reduced the lead to levels well below the drinking water standard.
The findings of this survey prompted legislation to be enacted in 1985 which
prohibits the use of lead pipes, lead-based solders or fluxes to bee used in
any plumbing installation which conveys a potable water supply.
If you have any questions regarding information contained in this notice, please
contact Charies Friedman at 489-1624 The
U.S. EPA has a toll-free hotline number edicate to the subject of lead in
drinking water. The telephone number is 1-800-426-4791. The U.S-. EPA has
also prepared a brochure on the subject.

MEMO
JUNE 21 1988
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D�Y�a�, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Potential Resolution Concerning Highland Park
Proposed Runway Use Test
Attached is a letter from Minneapolis Councilmember
Steve Cramer, requesting that we consider adopting a
resolution in support of the Highland Park runway use test.
It is my understanding that a small percentage of the flights
from this runway will be directed sharply back to the
southeast, traveling over northern Mendota Heights.
Council will recall that we recently took a position
opposing the Highland Park departure pattern, unless we could
be assured that there would be no deviation from runway
centerline for at least four miles. Because of this previous
position, and because the Highland Park departure pattern
appears to be shaping up as a battle between Minneapolis and
St. Paul, staff would recommend that the City of Mendota
Heights take no position on this matter.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, no
further action is required.
In the alternative, if Council wishes, it can direct
staff to prepare a resolution for adoption at a subsequent
meeting.

Enclosed is a resolution passed by the Minneapolis City Council requesting
the FAA to implement the proposed runway use test for twelve months. As you
know, Highland Park has challenged the proposal, and seeks that a court compel
MAC to withdraw their request for the test to the FAA. I don't believe their
suit will be successful, but in case it is, we want to be in a position of asking
FAA to do exactly what the MAC requested!
It would be even more effective if other cities in support of the runway use
test would also step into a sponsorship role if MAC is forced to withdraw. Perhaps
you would consider presenting a similar resolution?
As always, I'd look forward to a 4uncil
about this further.

CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS
Council Member Cramer
Referred to Comm,
Date
Requesting the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct an up to
one year Runway Use Plan test to determine the feasibility of more equitably
distributing air traffic around the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport
WHEREAS, the residents of south Minneapolis have experienced a tre-
mendous increase in aircraft noise since airline deregulation in 1978; and
WHEREAS, this increase in traffic has reversed the historical situation
wherein airplanes were farily evenly dispersed over the communities adjacent
to the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport (MSP); and
WHEREAS, residents of Minneapolis are now experiencing the noise
from over 43% of all operations at MSP; and
WHEREAS, several committees have studied the subject extensively
over the past three years; and
WHEREAS, recommendations from one of the committees - the Airport
Noise Working Group - included proposals for a Noise Budget to reduce overall
aircraft noise at MSP and one that called for equitable distribution of
the remaining noise to the areas around MSP; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has negotiated
a noise budget agreement with the airlines which has resulted in a 28%
decrease in noise energy levels for April, 1988 from that of August,
1986; and
WHEREAS, an Operations Committee of the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound
Abatement Council (MASAC), after considerable study, has recommended a
test of a new Runway Use Plan to determine if it would more equitably dis-
tribute airplane noise around the airport; and
WHEREAS, the MAC, after having heard public comments on the proposal
and responding to the Environmental Quality Board with an environmental
evaluation in support of the test,endorsed the IHASAC recommendation and
forwarded a request to the FAA for a test of the Runway Use Plan;and
WHEREAS, a lawsuit by a neighborhood group in St. Paul has been filed
challenging the procedures followed by the -MAC in making its recommendations,
and the possibility does exist that this legal action might delay or
preclude the MAC from requesting the Runway Use Plan test;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MINNEAPOLIS:
-That the City of Minneapolis requests the Federal Aviation Administration
to test the Runway Use Plan proposed by the 14ASAC for a period of up to twelve
months commencing as soon as possible.
Be It Further Resolved that Minneapolis requests that MAC and the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency, or in the alternative the MPCA monitor runway
utilization and aircraft noise levels throughout the test period as contemplated
by the current 14PCA/MAC monitoring plans. The monitoring program should be
continuous and should include a period before implementation of the test to
establish baseline conditions.
Be It Further Resolved that the results of the monitoring program should
be reported monthly to the MAC Operations and Environment Committee, HASAC and
adjacent communities, or in the alternative MASAC and adjacent communities for
the duration of the test period to permit evaluation of the program.
Be It Further Resolved that the Minneapolis City Attorney monitor the
legal proceedings, and if the City of St. Paul becomes a participant in the
suit, that the City Attorney use his staff to join the suit in order to protect
the interests of Minneapolis and its residents.
Be It Further Resolved that the appropriate city officials transmit this
resolution to the FAA and to MAC.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
June 2, 1988
TO: Mayor, City Council, City i�- ator
FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Hearings on Club Liquor License Renewals
INFORMATION
The City's liquor ordinance requires that public hearings
must be conducted on all applications for liquor licenses,
whether they are new or renewals. We have received applications
from both Somerset Country Club and Mendakota Country Club for
renewal of their Club Liquor Licenses, and the purpose of this
memo is to recommend scheduling of the public hearings.
The licenses for both Clubs will expire on June 30th. In
order for the licenses to be in continuous affect, a hearing must
be conducted on June 21st. Unlike new license applications,
Council may, if it so chooses, approve the licenses on the
evening of the hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Council authorize publication of a notice
of hearing to be conducted at 8:15 P.M. on Tuesday, June 21,
1988. All of the license requirements have been met by both
Clubs, and we have experienced no liquor license violations by
either Club, therefore staff will recommend approval of the
renewal licenses on the 21st. We are recommending that the
hearing time for both of the licenses, as well as that of MGM
Liquors be the same because we do not anticipate that either of
the Club license hearings will be controversial or time
consuming.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs in the recommendation it should move to
authorize staff to publish notices of hearing for 8:15 P.M. on
June 21st to consider applications from Mendakota Country Club
and Somerset Country Club for Club Liquor License renewals.

PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES, MAY 11, 1988
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Park and
Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, May 11, 1988,
at City Hall. Chairman Stein called the meeting to order at
7:00 P.M. The following members were present: Stein, Owens,
Leffert, Damberg, Lachenmayer, Katz. Huber was absent. Also
present was Public Works Director Jim Danielson.
APPROVAL OF Minutes of the April 12 meeting were
MINUTES approved.
CURLEY'S TOT LOT Discussion of proposal by Dr. Pilney and
group regarding construction of tot lot
on City owned lot in Curley's Addition.
Some concerns voiced regarding
consistency of equipment among
playgrounds, possible problems of
supervision and inspection of labor since
area residents would be doing the
construction, "developer agreement" type
contract might be necessary.
Dave Ayers (resident) stated that there
is great enthusiasm on the part of the
neighborhood for the project so there is
little danger that this would not be
completed. Also, the planning and
grading is being done by Kurth
Construction who are experienced in such
projects.
It is the sense of the commission that
since this is an unusual situation that
there exists a long history of broken
promises by the City to build a play area
on this City owned lot, that it is
appropriate to recommend that the project
receive commission approval.
Commissioner Damberg moved that up to
$14,000 from the Park Fund be spent for
acquisition of materials and equipment as
per the plan presented by Dr. Pilney, Mr.
Ayers, and Mr. Schneeman, for a play area
in Curley's Addition. The motion was
seconded and passed with Commissioner
Owens abstaining (since he is not
familiar enough with the issue and the
facts) .
POTENTIAL Commissioner Owens described some
IMPROVEMENTS PER suggested improvements in the parks
OWEN'S LETTER including:
1. a skating and hockey rink in the
southeast area of the city.
2. metal storage boxes for ball fields.
3. chain link fencing for hockey rink at
Friendly Hills.
Commissioner Owens moved that chain link
fence be installed around the end boards
at Friendly Hills rink. The motion was
seconded and discussed. Commission
approved the concept but felt more
information (i.e., cost) would be needed
for approval.
PARKS BEAUTIFICATION Commissioner Damberg expressed concern
about the safety of playground
equipment and whether the condition has
been well inspected. P.W. Director
Danielson said sand will be added and
that equipment is checked periodically.
The City has approved the hiring of a
landscape architect for park
beautification.
PARKS BOND There is now approximately $400,000 in
REFERENDUM the Park Fund. There will be little
AFTERMATH further donation as there is very little
developable land left in the City and the
donations have come mainly from
developers in lieu of land dedication.
There are four new parks to be
constructed; Victoria, Bream (Perkegwin),
Southeast and King.
As per the Centex agreement,
approximately 20 acres will be donated
for a park in the southeast area, and
Chair Stein feels the City should acquire
additional open space in that area.
It was recommended that Commissioners be
provided with an updated map of the City
parks, and also that Commissioners do a
.
walk through some of the areas yet to be
developed.
Commissioner Lachenmayer volunteered to
contact Dick Putnam for a tour of the
southeast property. She will make the
arrangement.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS Commissioners were reminded of the June 4
teambuilding workshop and are urged to
think about priorities and
recommendations.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come
before the Commission, the meeting was
adjourned at 8:40 P.M.

DTRr11GSTnN
Attached is Mn/DOT's response to the City's request for a noise

copy of Mn/DOT's response has been forwarded to Mr. McQuay.

Dear Mr. Danielson:
SUBJECT: C. S. 1982 (1 35E)
Noise Wall in Mendota Heights
Receipt of city resolution 88-20, dated April 19, 1988, is acknowledged. As you
are aware, this department has no record or knowledge of any commitments
made to Mr. McQuay in the 1960s regarding noise mitigation. In the mid 1970s,
a large mitigation program was undertaken which provided for most of all the
qualified residential areas adjacent to the interstate highways.
The residential area in the northwest quadrant of 1-35E and T.H. 110 did not have
a noise level exceeding standards [F.H.W.A.] and did not qualify for that program.
At this time, Mn/DOT does not have a similar program to retrofit opened segments
of the interstate.
Based on the above information, this department cannot respond favorably to
the city's resolution.
Sincerely,
(�Z�

SUBJECT: Sight Obstruction at Victoria Road & Marie Avenue
DISCUSSION:
Virgil McQuay, 796 Kay Avenue, has indicated that a sight obstruction
exists at the Marie Avenue stop sign at Victoria Road for westbound traffic
(see attached map). Mr. McQuay contends that the grading of Victoria is
creating the problem. Staff has investigated the complaint.
Staff has determined that there is an obstruction for cars stopped
behind the stop sign, looking north. The obstruction is not due to the
grading however, it results from some brush growing in the ditchline of
Victoria Road. The brush will be removed as part of the Victoria Hig-
hlands construction, sometime around the end of July. The obstruction is
not a problem.as long as cars pull forward cautiously past the stop sign
until the line of sight is clear. Although Victoria Road is a County road,
if Council feels the brush should be removed sooner, the public works crew
can complete the task.
ACTION REQUIRED:
To indicate whether Council wishes to have City crews complete the work
early.
Staff recommends that Council take no action at this time.

Mayor and City Council
Mendota Heights, Minnesota
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Copperfielc�
OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
At the last City Council meeting questions were raised about our proposed plan for Copperfield
4th, a seventeen lot development. The questions included these issues:
- Strange street design that seemed difficult to drive and maintain.
- Some lots with less than 100' width at the building setback.
- Concern about increased traffic by connecting Stone Road and Fieldstone.
- Size of lots which are proposed adjacent to existing Copperfield lots.
- Total number of lots (17) and maybe 14 or 15 would be better for the site.
- Concern about saving as many trees as possible.
Enclosed is a proposed revised preliminary plat, which we believe improves the plan.
By providing two cut -de -sacs that many of the concerns about; grading, tree preservation,
lot size (square footage), thru and/or increased traffic, increased lot width, and better
street design are greatly improved. The only item that did not change is the number of
lots which remains at seventeen.
Please note that our revised plan is a preliminary draft, and if approved by the City Council,
will be redrafted in final form for staff and further City review. As we stated in the
original submission, we are trying to save and remodel the existing Weed home, and complete
the Copperfield neighborhood. To do this we must provide lots within a price range and
quality that will allow the Copperfield builders to continue.
Steve and I have talked with many people about Copperfield and are 100% convinced that
the existing Copperfield neighborhood is a very positive addition to the City of Mendota
Heights. We are proud of the development, builders and residents. Without the cooperation
between the City staff, commissions and Council, Copperfield and the entire Southeast
Area would not be possible. We believe that Copperfield 4th will be an excellent final
phase to Copperfield, and ask the City Council for approval of the revised preliminary
plat.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Dick Putnam
Copperfield Associates

TO: Mayor, City Council and Cit�d nrator
FROM: Mary Ann DeLaRosa, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Case No. 88-15, Perron, Preliminary Plat
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on
May 24, to consider a request from Mr. John Perron, 1940
South Lane, to split his 185' x 225' wide lot into two lots,
one with 85' of frontage.
Mr. Philip Goldman, 1926 South Lane, and Mr. Perron's
contiguous neighbor to the north, was present to voice his
objections to the proposed lot division. (See attached°
letter from Mr. Goldman and memo from Public Works Director
Danielson). NOTE: No report was available from Planner
Dahlgren's office.
After considerable discussion, the Planning Commission
voted unanimously to recommend denial of the proposed lot
split as requested.
Since the meeting, Mr. Perron has asked staff to check
into other variances granted in his neighborhood for lots
with less than 100 feet of frontage. Staff has been unable
to locate variances granted in this particular neighborhood
since 1972. Mr. Perron contends that the McMahon lot, on
North Freeway Road, was recently for sale, and now is staked
out for a building. Apparently this lot is 83 feet wide, and
a building permit has been recently issued. Staff checked
the County record books and the lot is recorded as being 83
feet in width. Staff further checked with the Recorder's
office to try to determine when the lot was recorded and is
awaiting their response. It is staff's thoughts that this
lot was platted prior to the City Ordinance requiring 100
feet of frontage to be a buildable lot and that it met at
least 70% of lot frontage at the time of platting.
ACTION REQUIRED:
No public hearing is required at the Council level, but
Mr. Perron and Mr. Goldman will be present. Council may wish
to hear their comments. If Council wishes to implement the
Planning Commission recommendation, they should pass a motion
denying the requested lot division. Council may wish to
request more time for further staff research in order to
arrive at a decision on the matter if no helpful information
is received from the Dakota County Recorder's office.

Case No. 88-15
nTQPTTQQTnM-
May 19, 1988
Mr. and Mrs. John Perron, 1940 South Lane have made an application to
subdivide their large lot into two lots, one conforming to all ordinance
requirements and one 15 feet short of frontage. Both proposed lots far
exceed the minimum area requirements.
The Perron's proposal would normally be handled as a simple lot divi-
sion if both new -lots would meet all the minimum lot requirements, however
because they do not, Mr. Perron is required to do a plat.
Staff comments on the proposal are :
1. The original lot as platted was 225 feet wide (see attached
drawing). Sometime in the past, 40 feet was divided off on the
north and attached to Lot 1, Block 1, Jefferson Heights Addition.
There is now a home constructed on the north lot approximately 10
feet from that lot line (the Goldman residence).
2. There are steep slopes on the proposed new 85' lot site that will
limit home styles on the lot (see attached contour map).
3. The neighbor to the north, Mr. Goldman objects to the proposal
(see attached letter).
ACTION REQUIRD:
Conduct the public hearing and based on public comments and Commission
imput make a recommendation to the City Council.

Dear Mr. Frazell:
We write to you in opposition to the proposed subdivision of
our neighbor's yard for the purpose of dividing it into two
portions and building a new house on the portion closer to
our home.
We live at 1926 South Lane, Mendota Heights (Lot I and north
40 feet of Lot 2, Block 1, Jefferson Heights Addition), and
our neighbor Mr. John Perron lives at 1940 South Lane
(remainder of Lot 2, Block 1). If you have an opportunity to
see these parcels, you may be as surprised as we were to
find that someone would consider carving out a portion of
the yard between our two homes for the purpose of selling it
as a separate lot. Yet there is a realtor's sign in front of
our neighbor's yard, and a call to the realtor indicated
just that intention. Apparently our neighbor intends to
carve out a portion of his yard just to the north of his
house, that will be 282 feet deep and have 85 feet of
frontage (of his total 185 feet frontage), in order to offer
it for sale as a homesite. This portion of his yard would be
the portion contiguous to our lot. My calls to Mr. Paul Berg
and others in the City of Mendota Heights indicate that
among the requirements for creating a new lot are.that it be
at least 15,000 square feet and that it have at least 100
feet of frontage. It is clear that the subdivision of our
neighbor's yard would therefore require a variance of the
frontage requirement, which we would oppose as well.
We bought our home less than a year ago, in large part
precisely because we considered the neighborhood to be
established and stable, i.e., unlike building a new home in
a new development, there would be no possibility of having
homes, businesses or the like being built in a manner or in
a location that we did not anticipate. Another important
reason in our choice of this home was the panoramic view
(towards the property in question) that our home provides
from the large picture windows in the living room, as well
as the distance from neighboring homes that we are able to
enjoy. Having moved from a congested neighborhood of
Mr. Kevin Prazell
April 6, 1988
Page 2
Minneapolis, we were particulary impressed with the fact
that this home provided a substantial distance between
neighbors, and at the same time was in close proximity to
downtown St. Paul and other urban areas.
We oppose the subdivision of our neighbor's yard because it
would serve to destroy many of the very reasons we moved to
our home. it would seriously destroy the view from our
living room windows - rather than a panoramic view, we could
well find ourselves looking into the side or the roof of a
house twenty feet away. Moreover, such a subdivision would
destroy the serenity we sought by choosing our home, and
would destroy the attractiveness of our area by squeezing in
an aberrant house and lot. The fact that such a subdivision
would lower our property value as well as make our own home
less marketable is clearly evidenced by the fact that we, as
recent purchasers, can state categorically that we would not
have paid as much as we did for our home, and very likely
would not have bought it at all, had we ever dreamed of such
an occurrence as that proposed by our neighbor.
Granted, the escalation of land prices in the Mendota
Heights area, and other areas, must make it tempting for
those with larger lots to participate in the frenzy, but we
believe that such activities are far outweighed by the need
to retain the reasonable expectations and stability of
established neighborhoods. To allow such a subdivision in
spite of the long-established nature of the neighborhood,
and over both the need to create a variance for the lot
frontage and the strong objection of the most directly
affected neighbor would clearly set a precedent that the
City of Mendota Heights would find difficult to explain or
justify to others. To set such a precedent would lead to a
hodge-podge of house styles and ages and lot sizes and
shapes in our established neighborhoods that would be
unsightly at best, and create great discord among the
homeowners.
We repeat our earnest desire
above not be subdivided, and
any further proceedings that

FROM: Mary Ann DeLaRosa, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Case No. 88-17, Pabst, Preliminary Plat
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on
May 24 to consider this request. Mr. Tim Pabst, representing
Pabst Properties Limited Partnership, requested approval to
subdivide 10.6 acres of industrial property, located between
Mendota Heights Road and Perron Road, east of the new TH 13,
into three parcels. There were no questions from the public
on this request.
As proposed, the land would be divided with Lot A being
sold to Foto Mark, Inc. for future expansion needs. Lot B
would be sold to Stuart Lloyd Company, which owns the Lloyd's
Food Products, Inc. building at 1455 Mendota Heights Road,
also for future expansion needs, and Lot C would be retained
by Pabst Properties for future development.
Attached is a letter from Mn/DOT District 9 regarding
the proposed subdivision. The comments would not apply at
this time, since no development is proposed. Staff has made
note of the concerns, and will see that they are addressed
when appropriate.
The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
proposed preliminary plat as submitted, with the sale of the
properties to be as noted on the attached survey, which was
considered at the Planning Commission meeting on May 24.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff (see attached reports)
and Planning Commission recommendations, they should pass a
motion approving the preliminary plat of Pabst Addition as
submitted at the May 24 Planning Commission meeting.

Timothy J. Pabst
Between Mendota Heights
Road and Perron Road, East
of New State Trunk Highway
13 (see sketch)
Approval of Preliminary Plat
1. Attached is a copy of a portion of the base map for the City of
Mendota Heights showing the lots, street alignments, and existing
buildings in the area of the Pabst property. You will note that
Northland Drive and Enterprise Drive form three-quarters of a
circumferential route that, if extended, would go through the Pabst
property in the northwest quadrant (of Mendota Heights Road and Pilot
Knob Road).
2. A 60 foot right-of-way easterly of the Pabst building exists for this
purpose. However, the roadway extending westerly of Pilot Knob Road
would have had to go through the property owned by Ralph Linville (at
the southwest corner of Perron Road and Pilot Knob Road). As most
of you know, this roadway was not extended and several years ago Mr.
Linville built an office/warehouse building across this future right-of-way.
Therefore, the concept of completing this circumferential route has been
abandoned. Mr. Pabst now proposes to divide the 11.29 acres of
undeveloped land into three parcels. They are indicated on the attached
plat as Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlots A and B, Block 1. Outlots A and
B are so designated because they are not developable parcels, but are
to be added to contiguous properties.
3. Two drawings were submitted by the applicant. One is a preliminary
plat prepared by Paul McLagan & Son and the second drawing is a copy
of a portion of the section map indicating the properties in question.
You will note that Outlots A and B have been transposed on the
section map drawing (Lot A is indicated as B and vice versa). In any
case, it is obvious from the statement and the application that Outlot B
(as shown on the McLagan Survey) consisting of 2.68 acres is to be
added to the Foto Mark property to the east, Outlot A consisting of
3.08 acres is to be added to the Stuart Lloyd Company property, and
Lot 1 consisting of 5.27 acres will be "retained by Pabst Properties for
future development". In summary, the 11.29 acres is distributed in a
fashion that does not require the dedication of additional right-of-way.
Timothy J. Pabst, Case No. 88-17
Page 2
6. Though our copy of the application does not indicate so in writing, we
understand through discussions with the Public Works Director, Jim
Danielson, that the applicants request the vacation of the 60 foot
easement granted to the City for public road purposes on the east side
of the existing Pabst building. This 60 feet of right-of-way was
reserved by the City many years ago when the original development
occurred and represents the easterly 60 feet of the original parcel. It
would appear that the concept of extending the roadway to the north
and easterly to Pilot Knob Road has been abandoned, therefore, the use
of this 60 foot right-of-way for public purposes is no longer necessary.
7. It should be noted that Lot 1 as now proposed will have frontage on
Perron Road. You will note an indication for a 40 foot strip of
right-of-way along the north side of this property. The preliminary plat
does not indicate this specifically as a proposed public right-of-way, but
the acceptance of this roadway for public right-of-way purposes should
be a condition of the approval of the preliminary plat. You will also
note the existence of a "future cul-de-sac per M.D.O.T.". It is true
that as a part of the realignment of Trunk Highway 13, MnDOT
proposes to construct the cul-de-sac as indicated on the drawing.
8. It is perhaps unfortunate that the • circumferential roadway could not
have been completed since we feel this would have created desirable
sites for new industries. This roadway pattern would also have been an
efficient means of providing vehicular movement within Mendota Height's
Industrial Park. Let us hope, however, that the division as proposed
will result in meaningful expansions on the part of the industries to
which the parcels are being added and that Lot 1 will ultimately be the
site of an attractive addition to the industrial and business potential in
this area of the City.

l. Attached is a letter and a drawing explaining the proposed transfer of o
small piece of property from Henry E. Pabst to Henry J. FraboL (father
and son) and the establishment of a joint driveway and utility easement
serving two nlncde-fennUy residences nvvnod by these gentlemen and their
fornd{eo. You will note from their "statement of explanation" that
some years ago the easterly most home was misplaced during
construction, and a portion of it was built on the property of the
westerly most lot. This situation has been discussed several times with
the parties involved and representatives of the City staff who have
suggested that the action being proposed now be token.
2. This action transfers a portion of the westerly most lot (indicated as
Parcel A) in order to provide adequate space for the accommodation of
the single-family residence. They also propose to transfer Parcel B
from the westerly lot to the easterly lot. The lots in question, you
will note, are platted lots and are indicated as Lots 17 and lB.
3. These two homes are
served by a oornnnon driveway and
they propose to
establish
a joint easement for the use of this driveway.
Each lot has
separate

4. The subdivision regulations make provision for the division of land of
this type without holding a formal public hearing. Since the parcels aro
existing platted lots, it would be appropriate for- the Planning
Connrnlmnion and Council to approve the division of the land, waiving the
public hearings as otherwise required.

EXPLANATION
Henry E. Pabst and his son, Henry J. Pabst, own adjoining
properties in Mendota Heights, located respectively at 980 Wagon
Wheel Trail and 970 Wagon Wheel Trail. After Henry J. Pabst's
residence was constructed, it was discovered that the building
encroaches on the Henry E. Pabst property. The parties also
desire to create a driveway easement and a utility easement over
the Henry E. Pabst property for the benefit of the Henry J. Pabst
property.
This matter was discussed with the City Manager, the City
Engineer, and the City Planner, Howard Dahlgren. Mr. Dahlgren
suggested that Section 11.3 of the Mendota Heights zoning
ordinance permits a subdivision without a public hearing to cover
situations such as this one. Hence, we respectfully request that
the following transactions be approved by the Planning Commission:
1.
Transfer
of
Parcel A from Henry E. Pabst to Henry
J. Pabst;
2.
Transfer
of
Parcel B from Henry J. Pabst to Henry E.
Pabst;
3.
Creation
of
the buried cable easement; and
4.
Creation
of
the driveway easement.

TO: -Mayor, City Council and City A"4trator
FROM: Mary Ann DeLaRosa, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Case No. 88-20, Mancuso, Conditional Use Permit
The Planning Commission considered this request at their
May 24 meeting. Mr. Mancuso lives at 592 W. Annapolis, which
is a through lot between Annapolis and Fremont. He desires
to construct a detached garage in his rear yard and nearly
all of his neighbors have garages set back approximately 27
feet from the curb line or 14 feet from the property line.
Therefore, Mr•. Mancuso requested City approval to allow
construction of a garage 16 feet from the rear property line,
to match up his proposed garage with the established garage
setback of his neighbors.
Normally, this would have been processed as a
conditional use permit, but due to the expense and timeliness
factors, staff recommended waiving the public hearing
requirement associated with a conditional use permit, and
processing it with a $35 application fee. (See attached
staff reports).
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the requested conditional use permit.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff and Planning
Commission recommendations, they should pass a motion waiving
the public hearing requirement and granting approval of a
conditional use permit to allow construction of a detached
garage 16 feet from the rear property line at 552 West
Annapolis for Anthony Mancuso.

SUBJECT: Mancuso Variance
Case No. 88-20
mnnmCZTmo^
The Mancuso's, 522 Noot Annapolis, live on a through lot between Anna-
polis and Fremont. They do not have a garage and desire to build one. In
order to build o garage they have two City obstacles to hurdle before they
can proceed:
l. Construction of a free standing garage in the rear yard of a
through lot requires a conditional use permit ([J/P), CUP's are very time
consuming and costly. Application costs for the COP would be around $500;
$350 for the permit and $I50+ for the abstractor's certificate listing
homeowners witbiu'a 350 tont radius of their prnyerty. If they are made to
pay the $500 it would be too costly for the Moocuaos to build the garage.
Nearly every other home along the north aide of Fremont already has u garage
in the rear yard so staff muAQeata that the matter could be processed as a
variance with a $55,00 fee.
2. The neighbor's garages are net back approximately 27 feet from the
curb or 14 feet from the property lioe. In order to allow the Mencuaoo to
match the established garage setback, will require a 10 foot variance from
the rear yard oetback.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review the proposal with the applicant and make a recommendation to
Council on whether to waive the conditional use permit in favor of e vari-
ance and then it Pl000log Commission desires to waive the conditional use
permit requirement, make a recommendation to Council on allowing o 8oraQa to
be constructed in the backyard of o through lot encroaching 16 feet on the
rear yard setback.

Approval of Variance to
Accessory Building Location
1. Mary and Anthony Mancuso have a single-family home occupying two 40
foot lots fronting on the south side of Annapolis Street, which is the
far north edge of the City. This lot has double frontage with Fremont,
therefore, the development of an accessory building on the second street
frontage (in this case Fremont) requires approval by the City.
2. Attached is a site plan submitted by the Mancuso's indicating their
proposal to construct a new garage of 22 feet by 26 feet and located
30 feet from the Fremont Avenue right-of-way. The proposed setback
is 10 feet from the contiguous property to the west. You will also
note on this plan that the location of a garage on the contiguous
property is slightly closer to Fremont than the garage proposed by the
applicant in this case.
3. It would appear that the proposed location of the garage conforms to
all Ordinance requirements and is simply a matter of approval for the
development of such an accessory structure on a double frontage lot.
4. The action then could be a recommendation for approval of construction
of the garage as proposed in the attached site plan as submitted by Mr.

SUBJECT: Case No. 88-21, Blesener, Variance
The Planning Commission considered and unanimously
recommended approval of this request at their meeting of May
24. Ms. Janet Blesener was present to request a six foot
setback variance to allow construction of a "spec" home on
the northwest corner of Marie Avenue and Overlook Lane. The
house to the west of the site is situated 39 feet back from
Marie, while the proposed home will be built 33 feet from the
property line, thus creating the need for a six foot variance
from the established setback line. The Blesener's propose to
preserve a strip of natural tree growth that exists along the
north side of the property. This tree growth also extends to
the westerly portion of the lot as well and will provide
screening both for the westerly and northerly adjacent homes.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council wishes to implement the Planning Commission
and staff recommendation, they should pass a motion approving
a six foot setback variance to allow construction of a single
family home 33 feet back from Marie Avenue, at 1081 Marie
Avenue.

. '
l. An existing single-family parcel with a north -south dimension of 80 feet
(frontage on Overlook Lane) and an east -west dimension of approximately
17I feet is in question. The Blouenar'n propose to design and build a
new single-family home on the property. The problem is that the lot
to the vvoot, the only other home on the block between Overlook and
Lexington, has n setback from k4orle Avenue of 39 feet. Where such a
setback has been established greater than 30 feet within a block, the
ordinance roQuimao that contiguous hornan be setback the narnn distance
or the average distance between homes on either oldo within the same
block.
2. The Bbssmomr'o propose to build their new home a distance of 33 feet
'
from the existing right-of-way, thereby allowing them to maintain a 15
foot setback on the north oldo of the property for the house and a 13
foot setback for the garage (to be located easterly of the main house).
3. The purpose for the larger setback abmmo the north side (lO feet is
required) is to preserve o strip of natural tree growth that ox)oLo along
the north side of the property. If you visit the site, you will notice
that this tree growth extends to the vveoLorlv portion of the lot as
well. This growth is also proposed to be retained. You will also note
that the home to the wont rnalntolno e 15 foot setback an well.
4. This lot has been in existence for a vary long time, though we aro not
aware of
when its boundaries were established. However, when the
Burll and
Ho}rnma plat was developed, probably ten or twelve years ago,
o dedication
was obtained from the property owners for the extension of
Overlook
Drive from the north* to the south (connecting with ' Mario
A�enum).
At that time, it was determined that additional right-of-way
for, Marie
Avenue would not be required since the lot was already 20
feet below the frontage development standard of lOO foot. You will
also nota
that in accordance with the drawings submitted by the
Blenenmc'm
and based on a survey, the dedication from the center line of
Marie Avenue as it relates to this property in question and the lot to
the west
is 30 feet. Normally, it could be anticipated that this
dedicated
right-of-way would be 33 feet.
Blesener
Associates, Inc., Case No. 88-21 Page 2
5.
The Public Works Director, Jim Danielson, indicates that a 30 foot
right-of-way has been set and Marie Avenue has been built to the State
Aid standards of 44 feet without the additional right-of-way. He
suggests that additional right-of-way is not required by the County or
the City as it relates to this property.
6.
It should be noted that both the garage and the covered porch, which
extends 6 feet south of the main house, is a one story structure.
Thus, the impact of the reduced setback as it relates to the house to
the west . is considerably reduced. It would appear that under the
circumstances, the siding of the home as proposed and the approval of
the variance may be appropriate. Again, in this case, a view of the
site on the part of the Planning Commission and Council would be
helpful in considering a proposed solution.

Feasibility Report
Bridgeview Shores (First Addition)
Job No. 8808
Improvement No. 88, Project No. I
INTRODUCTION:
The 35 acre parcel of land just north of Mendota Heights Road, and
east of Dodd Road is proposed for development by Marvin Anderson Homes.
The proposed subdivision calls for 69 new single family lots, each
averaging about half an acre in size. The developer wishes to serve
the development in phases; the first phase, which has been platted as
Bridgeview Shores First Addition, will consist of 26 new single family
lots. This report will cover the methods and costs of serving
Bridgeview Shores First Addition, as well as the funding mechanisms
that should be used to cover the project costs.
DISCUSSION:
Servicing Bridgeview Shores 1st Addition with utilities is unique
in several ways. The developer is grading the entire site (all 69
lots) this spring, but platting, and utility installation will take
place in phases. This report focuses on just the first phase, but
major issues regarding servicing of the entire plat will also be given
some attention.
Both sanitary sewer and storm sewer will not be available unless
the Mendota Heights Road/Huber Drive project is completed. Therefore,
service to Bridgeview Shores is contingent on the acquisition of an
Indirect Source Permit (ISP) for the Kensington multi -family project to
the southeast. Presently it appears that the ISP will be granted
before July 1st, but this is not for certain. At the developer's
request construction of utilities to serve Mendota Heights Circle was
included in the Mendota Heights Road/ Huber Drive project. The
Bridgeview Shores project will only include construction of utilities
along Bridgeview Court and Pond Haven Lane (see attached drawings).
The design and costs of each of the public utilities will be discussed
separately, starting with sanitary sewer.
Sanitary Sewer
In order to serve the 26 lots in Bridgeview Shores First Addition,
sanitary sewer must be extended from Huber Drive (this extension is
being completed as part of the Mendota Heights Road/Huber project).
Mendota Heights Circle is to be served as part of the Mendota Heights
Road/Huber project, so the Bridgeview Shores First Addition project
will only involve extending sanitary from Mendota Heights Circle to
Bridgeview Court, then up Bridgeview court and Pond Haven Lane. This
extension will also allow for the parcels south of Mendota Heights Road
to gain access to sanitary sewer in the future (note that the southern
parcels should pay a hook up charge at that time). See attached
Drawing A for a picture of the sanitary sewer layout. The estimated
cost to serve Bridgeview Court and Pond Haven Lane, including the cost
of trunk line construction along Mendota Heights Road is $73,860..
Watermain
There is existing watermain along Mendota Heights Road which can
be used as a connection point. The existing watermain was installed in
1984, and there are deferred assessments against the property to be
subdivided. $17,718 in principal and interest is due to bring the
watermain assessments on the property current, leaving $31,058 to
redistribute amongst the new parcels.
The cost to serve the Bridgeview Shores First Addition (excluding
Mendota Heights Circle) with water will•be $72,000, including
engineering and overhead.
Storm Sewer
There are several ponds in and along the development, and these
can be used for storm water run off. As part of the Mendota Heights
Road/ Huber Drive project, storm sewer for controlling pond elevations
is being extended to one of the ponds in the Bridgeview shores
development. The cost of extending the stub into the development is to
be assessed to the entire Marvin Anderson site at a rate of about $800
per acre or about $28,000. For Bridgeview Shores First Addition this
amounts to about $10,500 in assessments. The First Addition will
require that several storm pipes be installed. Also, as part of this
project a storm water line must be constructed on the large outlot to
the west where future additions will be developed. -The cost to
construct the storm sewer, as shown on Drawing B, will be $70,040.
Streets
The developer is completing all the street and lot grading for the
entire 69 lot site this spring. However, streets will only be
constructed to serve the First Addition. The cost to construct
Bridgeview Shores Court and portions of Pond Haven Lane will be
$55,480. Note that Mendota Heights Circle will be constructed as part
of the Huber/Mendota Heights Road project.
Trails
The entire Bridgeview Shores development will have substantial
walks and trails in and around it. As part of the 1st addition,
concrete walks will be constructed along all the streets and down to
the northern pond. A bituminous trail will be constructed from the end
of Bridgeview Court to Apache Lane. The total cost to construct the
trail system as shown on the attached drawing will be $32,510.
Cost Summary
The following is a summary of the costs that are realized
of the MSA project, the costs that are realized as part of this
project, and the total costs between the two projects that must
covered by assessments.

The costs involved in this project should be split amongst three
areas: the five lots around Mendota Heights Circle, the other 21 lots
in the First Addition, and the future additions (the outlot in the
First Addition plat). The lots around Mendota Heights Circle should be
assessed all the costs of the MSA job, except some of the trunk storm
costs. The 21 lots served by this project should be assessed all the
costs associated with the First Add-ition project, except some of the
storm, sanitary, and trail costs. The outlot for future construction
should be assessed excess costs based on the number of future lots in
the future phases. The deferred watermain assessments from the 1984
watermain project should be brought up to date, and the remainder
should be assessed against the three areas based on the number of lots
in each.

Note that the per lot assessment for the two areas are slightly
different; this is because all costs for the two projects were kept
separate, so that if the projects finish at different times, assessment
rolls can still be completed. If the projects finish at the same time,
then all the costs can be merged, and the assessments will balance.

MEMO
JUNE 3, 1988
TO: Mayor, City Council and Cit"�rs�rator
FROM: Paul R. Berg, Code Enforcement Officer
SUBJECT: Wetlands Permit, Marvin Anderson Homes - 2480
Mendota Heights Circle
Staff had been scheduled for a footing inspection on May
27, 1988, by Marvin Anderson Homes. The home is their model
home located on Lot 12, Block 4, Bridgeview Shores (2480
Mendota Heights Circle). Staff noted at that time that the
proposed building location was not set back the Council
approved 75 feet from the wetlands. Staff's field
measurements showed approximately a 45 foot setback from the
corner of the garage and approximately a 47 foot setback from
the back of the house. At that point, staff stopped the work
until such time as the City Council had a chance to review
and approve a lesser wetlands setback.
Marvin Anderson Homes used the City's aerial topo map
and spot checked at a few locations for their wetlands permit
requests. Now that staff has found a problem with the model
home setback, they have surveyed in all the setbacks. The
survey now shows that all the setbacks needed are within
previous approved limits except two on Mendota Heights,
Circle. The model home setback goes from 75 feet to 50 feet
and the home immediately west goes from 55 feet to 50 feet
setback. Overall, four variance requests are no longer
needed and ten are reduced (see attached map).
A representative from Marvin Anderson Homes will be
present at the meeting to discuss the wetlands permit
changes.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review with the applicant the proposed new site plan and
wetlands setbacks and pass a motion either approving or -
denying the two requested wetlands setback decreases (75' to
50' on Lot 3, Block 3, and 55' to 50' on Lot 4, Block 3,
Bridgeview Shores).

Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Bike Trail Improvements at S.O.S. (Lexington & T.H.110)
DISCUSSION:
Councilmember Blesener recently requested that staff look into options
to improve a bike trail as it passess by the service station at the corner
of Lexington Avenue and Trunk Highway 110. The bike trail is County owned
at that location, so I have been attempting to work with the County to
resolve the matter. There is no simple solution. That entire intersection
is a problem even more than just for bikes, it is a problem for cars too. A
letter should be drafted to Dakota County requesting that they work with
Mn/DOT to improve that entire intersection.
The County staff does not see the bike trail as causing a safety
problem so they are not willing to contribute towards a solution but they do
not object to the City taking some action. They suggest that an improvement
would be to install some curb through the area reducing the driveway to more
managable sizes rather than just one mass opening. They are forwarding
their suggested layout by mail and I will hand that out Tuesday evening.
Staff has recently had discussions with the Curley family, and their
architect, John Duffy, concerning a potential redevelopment plan for the
area.- Staff feels that it might be premature to install improvements until
we know whether the Curley's intend to pursue their plan.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review the County's suggested driveway configuration and give staff
direction on how to proceed.

SUBJECT: Curley's Tot Lot Improvements
DISCUSSION:
Several neighbors from Curley's Addition attended the May Park and
Recreation meeting to present themwith a proposal to jointly develop a tot
lot on a City owned lot located in the southeast corner of that subdivision
(see attached plan). They propose that the City fund the equipment and
materials needed for the plan and the neighborhood would do the construc-
tion. The neighborhood has a contractor by the name of Denny Kurth living
there and he would provide his equipment and leadership to get the job done.
The plan as submitted was schematic so staff has prepared the attached
grading plan that should be followed.
Neighborhood representatives will be at the City Council meeting to
discuss the plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Park & Recreation Commission voted unanimously to recommend funding
the tot lot equipment and materials as requested from the Park Fund (esti-
mated $14,000).
Staff recommends that if Council approves the expenditure, a De-
veloper's Agreement be prepared outling such things as duties of the City,
duties of the neighborhood, insurance coverage, etc.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Discuss the proposal with the neighbors and determine a course of
action.

SUBJECT: MGM Liquor License Application
INTRODUCTION
The City has received application from the LAMA
Corporation for an off -sale liquor license to operate an MGM
liquor facility in the Mendota Plaza. In accordance with
ordinance provisions, Chief Delmont has processed the
application and completed his investigation. His report and
recommendation are attached. The purpose of this memo is to
inform Council of ordinance requirements for processing the
application.
INFORMATION
Processing of the LAMA application must be as follows:
1. June 7th: Council receives the report and
recommendation of staff and instructs staff to
publish a notice of hearing on the application;
2. June 21: Council conducts and closes the public the
public hearing, defering action on the application
to the next regular Council meeting;
3. July 5: Council takes action on the application. If
the application receives Council approval, the
license and security are submitted to the
Commissioner of Public Safety for approval. The
license becomes effective upon approval of the
Commissioner.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REQUIRED
Chief Delmont and I recommend that Council accept the
report and recommendation and conduct a public hearing on
June 21st at 8:15 P.M. If Council concurs, it should move to
direct the City Clerk to publish a notice of hearing to be
held on June 21st on the application from LAMA Corporation
for off -sale liquor license.

FROM: Chief of Police
Fred Thomas Lanners, John Jay Lanners, Terrance Joseph Maglich and Michael
Gerard Maglich, as Directors of LAMA Corporation, have applied for an
"Off -Sale" liquor license to operate an MGM Liquor Warehouse in the Mendota
Plaza Shopping Center. Pursuant to City Ordinances, the Police Department has
completed a liquor license investigation.
LAMA Corporation now owns and operates two other MGM Liquor stores, one in the
City of White Bear Lake and a second in Coon Rapids. The Corporation is made
up of the Lanners, father and son, and the Maglich brothers. Maglichs own MGM
Liquor Warehouse International, Incorporated, the franchisor of the individual
MGM stores, and they also own an MGM retail store in Blaine. Although the
arrangement is confusing, it certainly appears to be within the parameters of
the State Statute and the City Ordinance.
There is nothing in our investigation of the individuals or corporations
involved that would preclude the issuance of an "Off -Sale" liquor license to
LAMA, Inc. They are financially solvent, experienced in operating liquor
stores, and the Cities where they are presently doing business have nothing
negative to report. They have been very cooperative with us during the course
of the investigation and have provided additional information when asked.
Several "paperwork" errors were quickly and satisfactorily corrected.
We have found nothing that would cause us to recommend that this application
be denied. We would ask that the issuance of a license be conditioned on the
following:
1. The space is protected with central station burglar &-uld hold-up
alarms, and that the burglar alarm be configured to include the protection of
the ceiling of the store.
2. The Police Department be kept currently advised of personnel
information on each employee of the store.
3. That a "Part II Personal Information" form be completed and submitted
for the on-site manager, who will be primarily responsible for the operation
of the store and the training and direction of the employees.
4. The Police Department is allowed to make a crime prevention survey of
the premises prior to the commencement of business.

SUBJECT: Furniture Program for New City Hall
DISCUSSION•
Our interior design consultant, Suzanne Ilten, has
previously appeared before Council to present the color
palette. At that meeting, Suzanne indicated that the amount
of money necessary to fund the entire master plan for new
furniture would be around $150,000. Council asked that staff
and the City Hall Subcommittee review the budget and set some
priorities, to keep it in a more acceptable limit.
The Committee has worked diligently with the interior
designer since that time, prioritizing furniture, and looking
at less expensive furniture options. We are now recommending
a scaled back initial furnishing program of around $103,000,
itemized as follows:
First floor reception area
$6,299
Council Chamber
17,285
Open office seating (upper level)
5,327
Private office seatings
5,964
Open office (lower level)
5,916
Large conference room
10,443
Small conference room
3,536
Miscellaneous private office
furnishings
3,151
Police waiting area
1,839
Police "sub" waiting area
907
Herman Miller office systems
31,000
Installation of Herman Miller
systems
4,000
Shipping & installation expenses
of other furniture
7,000
While this exceeds the original project budget provided
for furniture, we feel that this is the minimum necessary to
initially move into the new city hall, and have it look the
wax that it should. Two major areas that have been
eliminated from inclusion in the initial budget are lunch
room furnishings, and private office furniture (except for
the seating). These additional items can be purchased
incrementally out of the budget over the next few years.
BUDGET IMPACT
Approximately $60,000 remains in the city hall project
budget for furnishings. When allowing for a "worst case"
fudge factor, we should probably plan on the furnishings
running up to $110,000. Staff proposes that $30,000 of the
additional amount be taken from the General Fund balance, and
$20,000 from the Engineering Fund balance. Both fund
balances increased very substantially during 1987, and these
funds can responsibly be allocated to the furniture budget
without compromising the financial integrity of either fund.
The alternative would be to stick with our original
budget of $60,000. The result, however, would be reusing a
lot of worn out furniture that in no way matches the decor of
the new city building. We would then be faced with trying to
piece meal a furniture plan over several years in the regular
budgeting process. Since the City has funds available to do
the job right, up front, this latter course of action is not
recommended.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Interior designer Suzanne Ilten will be present at the
Council meeting to give you more of the details on the
proposed furniture plan, and to solicit your input. At the
conclusion of that presentation, Council will need to act to
authorize her to proceed with drawing up specifications and
soliciting quotations. The actual recommendation for
purchase will then be presented to Council at a later date.

FROM: Kevin D.e , City Administrator
SUBJECT: Request for House Moving from Steve Patrick, 737
Mendota Heights Road
Mr. Steve Patrick owns approximately 6 1/2 acres south
of Mendota Heights Road, just west of where the Kensington
Phase I development will be built. Mr. Patrick's land has an
extremely undulating topography with heavily wooded and pond
areas. The property is depressed, so that it is quite well
buffered from impacts from the surrounding freeway.
Therefore, Mr. Patrick is planning to subdivide the property
into four or five large estate lots.
The Kensington land to the west currently has on it the
home formerly occupied by Mr. Dale Glewwe and family, at 720
Mendota Heights Road. The developers are planning to remove
the house as part of their development project. However, Mr.
Patrick (who is an architect) feels that the house has
architectural merit, and proposes to purchase it from Centex
Corporation for placement on one of his lots.
The problem is one of timing. Assuming that Centex
obtains their Indirect Source Permit from the Pollution
Control Agency later this month, they hope to begin grading
in early to mid-July, and so need the Glewwe home moved
promptly. Mr. Patrick will be unable to process his
subdivision before July and August.
To resolve this timing dilemma, Mr. Patrick has
requested that the City consider allowing him to go.ahead and
move the Glewwe house onto his 6 1/2 acres. The only problem
is that this violates the provision of the zoning code which
permits only one principal structure per lot.
As a general condition, Mr. Patrick would, of course,
have to obtain a house moving permit from the building
inspection department, meeting all conditions of such permit,
including bringing the house up to existing building code
standards.
Staff recommends that Mr. Patrick be allowed to move the
house onto his property prior to subdivision, subject to:
1. Execution of an agreement Vroviding for the
subsequent and timely subdivision of the property.
2. Issuance of a house moving permit by the code
enforcement department.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Mr. Patrick will be present to discuss his proposal with
the Council.
If, after that discussion, Council concurs with the
staff recommendation, it should pass a motion authorizing
staff to allow Mr. Steve Patrick to move an additional
principal structure onto his land at 737 Mendota Heights Road
subject to entering an agreement for the expeditious
subdivision of the land and to issuance*of a house moving
permit by the code enforcement.department.'

SUBJECT: Easement for Mendakota Country Club
nTRC1iRRTnN
At their February 2nd meeting Council approved a Planned Unit Develop-
ment for Mendakota to construct a new club house (see attached minutes). As
a condition of the approval Mendakota was to grant the City a drainage
easement west of the Fire Hall. The County Club has been reluctant to
grant that easement and have requested that the easement granting be delayed
until their maintenance facility plans are developed. They feel that they
would then be able to better determine the configuration of the easement and
how it affects that facility. Staff has no problems with delaying that
easement acquisition until that time because the storm water is now draining
into a City wetlands that is protected from being filled to within 100 feet
of its boundary, also the maximum drainage into the wetlands will not occur
until final development is completed in the area.
Mendakota is also in the process of acquiring Outlot C from Bream.
Outlot C had some landscaping requirements that were approved by the City as
part of the Bream Planned Unit Development. Mendakota has asked to be
released from following the Bream landscaping requirements and be allowed to
develop their own.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not object to either of Mendakota's requests.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to grant the Country Club's request they should pass
a motion amending the Resolution No. 88-07 condition on storm drainage to read:
subject to receipt of a storm drainage easement prior to issuance of a
building permit for the maintenance facility.
Council should also discuss the landscaping issue with Mendakota repre-
sentatives and decide whether to approve an alternative plan.

driveway. Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto, Mr. Carl stated that the Club
would prefer to delay paving of the service
road until such time as the maintenance
facility is built because of funding
constraints.
Mr. John Todd reviewed the present budget for
the program, stating that $2.7 million is
available for building the clubhouse and
parking lot, site lighting, demolition of the
clubhouse and.other items.
Responding to a question from Councilmember
Witt on signage, Mr. Oxton stated that the
Planning Commission wanted to talk to Mr.
Bream on what he intends for signage and that
the Country Club would like some signage on
Dodd and will come back to the Council for
approval of a signage plan.
Public Works Director Danielsdri informed
Council that an easement for the storm water
pond will be necessary and recommended that a
condition of approval be execution and
submission of a drainage easement.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and
comments from the audience.
There being no questions or comments,
Councilmember Cummins moved that the hearing
be closed at 8:28 P.M.

As part of the Victoria Highlands project the City planned to grade the
park land property to create a holding pond and useable park. Staff esti-
mated the construction cost, as part of the contract bid, would be approxi-
mately $30,000. The Developer's grading contractor (Lakeville Excavating,
Inc.) expressed an interest in completing the work, since he has his equip-
ment on the site already. Staff asked Lakeville Excavating, DLR Excavating
and Scherff Excavating to give us a separate bid for the grading. Lakeville
indicated the work could be done for $15,000, but the others have not
submitted bids yet.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since Lakeville's bid is one half the Engineer's Estimate, staff recom-
mends Council approve a purchase order for Lakeville Excavating to complete

SUBJECT: Insurance Coverages
HISTORY:
Under our current LMCIT Insurance policies there are two
areas for which no coverage has existed, as no commercial
carriers have provided these forms of coverage. The League
now proposes to offer coverage for the following areas:
1. Pollution Coverage - $1,110 premium
2. Inverse Condemnation Liability $793 11
A more complete review of the proposed policy and the
endorsements is— attached.
Rich Fleischhacker, our insurance agent, feels that both
would be of value to the City. However, after a review of
our operattfons, staff feels that the City's exposure for
pollution liability is quite limited, and therefore does not
recommend that we take that coverage. As a developing
community, however, inverse condemnation is a real concern
for us, and we do feel it would be worth the premium dollars.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they
should pass a motion authorizing the execution of an
endorsement to the City's insurance policy for inverse
condemnation liability.

Re: Inverse condemnation and pollution liability coverages
Member cities of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
can now add liability coverage for certain pollution exposures
and for inverse condemnation liability arising out of zoning and
other land use regulations. The city can add either or both
coverages, either at renewal or as a mid-term endorsement.
Copies of the endorsements are attached.
POLLUTION COVERAGE
LMCIT is now offering to member cities an endorsement which adds
back coverage for certain pollution exposures, replacing the
strict pollution exclusion currently used.
The optional limited pollution liability endorsement gives the
city coverage for property damage or bodily injury caused by a
release or discharge of pollutants, where three conditions are
met: 1) the release is accidental; 2) the release occurs
entirely above ground; and 3) the release begins and ends within
72 hours of the accident. The endorsement also adds back
coverage for liability stemming from the use of mace, tear gas,
or similar substances.
Obviously, this does not provide a solution to all of a city's
exposures to pollution liability. Landfills and underground
storage tanks are two examples of exposures that would not be
covered. However, it will provide protection for things like a
malfunctioning ventilation system in a city building, or an
accidental spill of herbicides by park maintenance workers.
The pollution coverage is subject to a $600,000 annual aggregate
limit, including defense,.cgsts. The cost of adding the
pollution coverage is( -3.5% of the city's liability premium.
INVERSE CONDEMNATION LIABILITY FOR LAND USE REGULATION
In a 1987 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a city
could be held liable for a temporary taking of private property
resulting from enforcement of a zoning ordinance or other land
use regulation. This is a new liability exposure for cities; in
the past, courts would bar future enforcement of an ordinance
which went too far, but generally would not award damages. The
1987 decision means that a city could be held liable for "rent"
for the time during which an ordinance was enforced, if it were
' later determined that enforcing that ordinance resulted in a
"taking" of the property. You may want to discuss this issue
with your city attorney.
If a zoning ordinance has resulted in a taking of property, the
property owner's remedy is to bring,an inverse condemnation
suit. However, LMCIT's current liability coverage document
excludes inverse condemnation. (Liability insurance policies
offered to cities by commercial insurance companies almost
universally contain a similar exclusion.) Because of this
F exclusion, some zoning claims have not been covered by LMCIT in
the past - specifically those zoning -related claims based solely
on a "taking" theory of law.
LMCIT member cities can now add coverage for inverse '
}' condemnation suits arising out of enforcement of zoning or other
land use regulations. This optional endorsement provides
coverage for liability for inverse condemnation damages for the
period of time during which the regulation is being enforced, up
until the time that the courts determine that the regulation
constitutes a "taking." The coverage is subject to a $600,000
annual limit, and a 15% "coinsurance" provision; that is, LMCIT
would cover 85% of damages and defense costs, while the city
would bear the remainingThe cost of adding the inverse
condemnation coverage i 2.5• of the city's liability premium.
It must be emphasized that this coverage applies only to
regulatory takings. It does not apply to an inverse
condemnation action which alleges that the city has physically
occupied or used private property without paying for it.
WHY ARE THERE ANNUAL LIMITS ON THESE COVERAGES?
In offering the pollution and inverse condemnation coverages,
LMCIT is venturing into areas in which there is little or no
past experience on which to draw. Despite the risks involved,
the LMCIT Board sees LMCIT's job as finding a way if at all
possible to provide cities with coverage for their exposures.
The lack of past loss data makes it very difficult to accurately
project what the ultimate losses are likely to be or what the
proper premium rate should be. Obviously LMCIT must strike a
balance between meeting the individual city's need for
protection on the one hand and making sure that LMCIT will
remain financially strong and stable so as to be able to
continue to serve cities on the other. The annual coverage
limits on both coverages and the coinsurance provisions on the
inverse condemnation coverage are designed to help keep that
risk manageable. Also, the extended reporting period option
will not apply to these coverages.- Finally, because the
liability coverage is claims -made, rates can be adjusted in the
future to reflect the actual losses as they develop.
