Swanson City Clerk CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO AUGUST 1, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. ay Administrator SUBJECT: Accessories for New City Hall As we near the completion of city hall, it appears that an additional appropriation in the range of $40-$50,000 will be needed to complete the project, including furnishings. This is about what we had anticipated and indicated to Council at the time we adopted the furnishings budget. Larry Shaughnessy indicates that he will be asking Council to make the appropriation toward the end of October, as we make final payments to the contractors. It will be staff's recommendation that the additional funds be taken in part from the general fund balance, and in part from the engineering and industrial development fund balances. The city hall subcommittee asked interior designer Suzanne Ilten to submit a proposed budget for purchasing art work for the new city hall. There are no current plans for wall treatments in the building. Attached is Suzanne's proposal for 24 pieces of framed and matted art prints. As you can see, the total anticipated budgeted amount is $6,655. At the meeting Tuesday evening, I will have a copy of Suzanne's blueprint showing where she would propose to place the pieces of artwork. ACTION REQUIRED: To determine whether additional funds for the would be to buy less than KDF:madlr attachment Council wishes to expend the artwork.

Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 LOGO Graphic Artist Robyn Huspek presented a number of logo alternatives for Council discussion. It was the general consensus of Council that Ms. Huspek should focus on MH as predominant with trees as a shadow in the background. T.H. 149 RIGHT-OF-WAY Mn/DOT Project Engineer Paul Kachelmyer was present to discuss the ultimate use or release of the Highway 149 right-of-way. Council acknowledged a memo from the City Administrator and a memo from Mr. Kachelmyer regarding release of the right- of-way. Mr. Kachelmyer stated that Mn/DOT wants input from the City before making a final decision. Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels that the ultimate use and design and layout of the Mendota Plaza, which has a new owner, is directly related to this issue. He pointed out that the City has talked about having a TH 149 overpass over TH 110 in the past but now Mn/DOT has indicated there is a big reduction in traffic on 110. He pointed out that the Council is faced with many unknowns regarding overall traffic on TH 149, including development of the southeast area of the City and the impact of future development in Eagan. Mr. Kachelmyer stated that Mn/DOT doesn't anticipate ever building an intersection on the right-of-way, and that it doesn't fit in with the present policy of Mn/Dot or the Metropolitan Council and Mn/DOT is looking at releasing the right-of-way unless Page No. 2379 July 5, 1988 convinced otherwise. He informed Council that Mn/DOT only holds an easement on the land for highway purposes and that there is still underlying fee ownership. He pointed out that state law stipulates that property does not automatically revert to the underlying owner but that he may buy back the easement rights at 95% of the present market value of the property. He then discussed the several options presented in his letter and stated that Mn/DOT needs to know the City's position as to release of the land. Mayor Mertensotto asked whether Mn/DOT will cooperate in providing information to the City's TH 149 committee if it is reactivated, and Mr. Kachelmyer indicated that it would. With respect to option one, Councilmember Blesener asked whether Mn/Dot would just be giving the City easement rights if the City chooses to build the road, and if there would still be underlying ownership, or whether the City would have to buy the 5%. Mr. Kachelmyer responded that if the City wanted all of the right-of-way and used only 6641' -for right-of-way purposes, it would have to buy the rest of the land. It was Council consensus that a new committee should be appointed to look at all issues relating to the right-of-way and the 110/149 area. Council directed the Administrator to report back with a suggested committee consisting of some of the former TH 149 committee and the Downtown Task Force members. Councilmember Cummins arrived at 7:53 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mrs. Joanne Birnbaum, 1721 Victoria, stated that she lives across from the Bream development and that lots of trees and shrubs have been removed right across from her home. She asked whether a hedge of lilacs or some other plantings could be planted to provide a natural buffer and also whether a similar buffer can be provided for the park area. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the City public works crew is supposed to remove Page No. 2380 July 5, 1988 some of the brush and trees at the intersection with Marie. He stated that he has spoken to Mrs. Birnbaum's concern is that when a wind comes out of the east there will be a dustbowl and she wants to know what to anticipate next. Public Works Director Danielson stated that the area is intended to be seeded. He also noted that the City has hired a landscape architect to come up with a plan for the parks, including the Victoria Highlands park, and that he will pass on the concern about a buffer to the architect. MINNESOTA KNITTING Councilmember Cummins moved approval of a building permit for Minnesota Knitting Mills to allow construction of a 9,620 square foot addition to their facility located on Mendota Heights Road. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 LIQUOR LICENSE Council acknowledged a memo from the City Clerk regarding the LAMA Corporation's application for off -sale liquor license to open,an MGM Liquor Warehouse operation in the Mendota Plaza. After brief discussion, Councilmember Witt moved approval of the issuance of an off - sale liquor license to the LAMA Corpor- ation, d.b.a. MGM Liquor Warehouse, to operate an MGM facility in the Mendota Plaza Shopping Center, subject to approval of the license by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-22, WIRT Mr. & Mrs. John Wirt, 1395 Farmdale Road, was present to request approval of a sideyard setback variance to allow a garage addition 24 feet from the side property line. Councilmember Cummins asked Mr. Wirt whether he had checked with anyone on the legal status, since there are covenants which prohibit structures from being closer than 30 feet from the property line. Page No. 2381 July 5, 1988 Mr. Wirt responded that there is no neighborhood association, but that he has the approval of his neighbors. Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. & Mrs. Wirt that the City Council will in no way take action that would affect the covenants and that the covenants are a privatea cannot be superceded by Council actions Councilmember Cummins moved approval of a critical area six foot variance from the existing rear yard setback at 649 Sibley Memorial Highway to allow construction of an addition at the rear of the home. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-23, Mr. Paul Beckmann was present to request BECKMANN approval of a wetlands permit to allow construction of a home within 90 feet of the pond on Lot 9, Block 1, The Ponds of Mendota Heights. After discussion, Councilmember Witt moved approval of a wetlands permit to allow construction of a home 90 feet from the pond on Lot 9, Block 1, The Ponds of After discussion, Councilmember Cummins moved to approve a six foot sideyard setback variance to allow construction of a garage addition 24 feet from the side property line at 1395 Farmdale Road. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. CAO 88-04, Mr. William Huestis, 649 Sibley Memorial HUESTIS Highway, was present to request approval of a critical area variance to allow construction of an addition on the rear of his home. Mr. Huestis stated that his home is 22 feet from the bluffline now and that the addition would be 16 feet from the bluff. Responding to a caution from Mayor Mertensotto, Mr. Huestis stated that he understands that the City can give no guarantees that the addition won't slip down the bluff, and that he will be taking significant precautions during construction. Councilmember Cummins moved approval of a critical area six foot variance from the existing rear yard setback at 649 Sibley Memorial Highway to allow construction of an addition at the rear of the home. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-23, Mr. Paul Beckmann was present to request BECKMANN approval of a wetlands permit to allow construction of a home within 90 feet of the pond on Lot 9, Block 1, The Ponds of Mendota Heights. After discussion, Councilmember Witt moved approval of a wetlands permit to allow construction of a home 90 feet from the pond on Lot 9, Block 1, The Ponds of Page No. 2382 July 5, 1988 Mendota Heights. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-25, Councilmember Cummins moved approval of a CANNIFF wetlands permit for Lot 5, Block 1, The Ponds of Mendota Heights, to allow construction of a new home 72 feet from the pond. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 EUGENIA STREET Mayor Mertensotto opened the meeting for VACATION HEARING the purpose of a public hearing on the vacation of the Eugenia Street right-of- way. Planning Commissioner Burt Anderson stated that he cannot see a need for vacation of Eugenia at this time. He pointed out that the adjacent land has an average depth of 500 feet and if Council vacates Eugenia, the City might be locked into the formerly proposed PUD development. He felt that the 70% lot area provision in the Zoning Ordinance can be applied to the Peyer lot split request and she would not therefore need the requested vacation area to accomplish a lot split. He informed Council that the Commission tabled the lot split request until Council takes action on the vacation and until the Commission can see a plan for developing the lot. He pointed out that the City Planner has suggested retaining a 20' pathway easement on the south portion of the right-of-way and the Engineer has recommended retaining a 10' utility easement over the north portion. He felt that the request is untimely and suggested that Council deny the request. It was noted that Ms. Peyer, who had requested the vacation, was not yet present, therefore further discussion was continued until Ms. Peyer arrives. CITY HALL FURNITURE Interior Designer Suzanne Ilten was present to inform Council on bids received for the purchase of furniture for the new City Page No. 2383 July 5, 1988 Hall. Ms. Ilten stated that 9 companies requested bid documents, including Mendota Heights resident Jean Freeman, and that the documents were sent to all who requested them. She then reviewed and discussed the bids with Council, and informed Council that the Herman Miller Encore furniture will be purchased under the Hennepin County purchasing agreement from Facilities Systems, Inc., which is the only local vendor of the furniture. Councilmember Blesener moved to authorize purchase of City Hall furniture as follows: Westin -Nielson and Gilbert furnishings from the Pink Companies/Hartzel, for $22,571.40; Howe, Smokador, peter Pepper Products and Koch and Lowy furnishings from General Office Products for $9,031.51; Harman and Millwork items from Metro Systems for $4,973; Herman Miller seating from Facilities Systems, Inc., for $29,150.55, and Herman Miller Encore for $30,266.43 plus installation.

Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 EUGENIA STREET Mr. Wayne Schwanz, present for the Eugenia Street vacation hearing, informed Council that he has tried to contact Ms. Peyer and been notified that she is out of town and will not be present this evening. Councilmember Cummins moved that the hearing be continued to 8:15 P.M. on July 19th. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. CASE NO. 88-15, The Council acknowledged receipt of a PERRON LOT SPLIT report from Engineer Klayton Eckles and a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Philip Goldman, 1926 South Lane, relative to the continued discussion on Mr. & Mrs. John Perron's application to divide 1940 South Lane and create a new 85 foot lot. Mayor Mertensotto stated that independent of the location of the property, he is concerned that over the years Council has established criteria for dividing existing lots. He stated that he looked at the property this evening and while there is no question a home could be built on the Page No. 2384 July 5, 1988 proposed new lot, the question is what criteria should be used in considering applications to divide larger lots like this. Councilmember Blesener felt that the question should be whether or not something could be built which is comparable with the general character of the neighborhood. She felt that in this case that test could be met, and noted that Planner Dahlgren considered there to be a hardship because the location of the existing'homes preclude making the proposed lot larger. Attorney Hart pointed out that the location of the homes cannot be considered a hardship criteria because a hardship cannot be created by the owner or his predecessor; the question to be considered is whether the applicant should be entitled to subdivision knowing when he bought the property that it could not be divided under the City's zoning regulations. Councilmember Cummins felt that Council should consider that there are many large lots in the community, the owners of which will be looking to subdivide in the future and would look on Council action on this case as precedent setting. Mr. Roger Quick, son-in-law of the Perrons, stated that with respect to the Perron lot, the topography presents a physical hardship and the 20 foot grade difference makes the lot a maintenance hardship. Mrs. Perron asked why some variances are granted for substandard lots and some are not. She felt that she and Mr. Perron had complied with everything the City has asked and that the lot presents economic and topography hardships. She also pointed out that they have submitted a drawing of a house which can be built on the lot. Mrs. Perron stated that Mr. Koppen has been granted two variances on his lot, never met with the Planning Commission and was granted variances to build and sell a home. She stated that she and her husband are having a hard time understanding why their request is different. Page No. 2385 July 5, 1988 Mr. Quick stated that Council has looked at the house plan that was drawn for the lot and see that the house would be good on the lot. He felt that if it can be shown that a house can contribute to the neighborhood, then it should be approved on that basis. Councilmember Witt expressed concern that if the request were approved it would be setting a precedent Council is not prepared for. Councilmember Cummins stated that if this was simply an individual case, the applicants have done a good job; that if it was just this one case in a vacuum he would like to approve it. He felt however, that approval of the application would set an undesirable precedent with broad implications for the City. Councilmember Cummins moved to deny the application. The motion died for lack of a second. Mrs. Perron asked 85 `and 90 foot frontage lots were approved in Copperfield and not for her lot, she also asked why Koppen's lot and Spring Creek Acres were approved and her request is not granted. She stated that Council required Spring Creek Acre's lots and the Koppen lot to only be 100 feet at the building setback. Mrs. Joseph Schuster stated that she would hate to see Council deny this because Mr. Schuster's application for subdivision was denied. She stated that she has seen many lots split where there were no criteria yet her application was turned down and now this application may be turned down. Mr. Philip Goldman stated that he would hate to see a decision continued to another meeting. He pointed out that he has done a lot of work to have things done as they should be done and that if a new standard is to be whether or not a house can be built on a proposed lot the Ordinance should be changed. He pointed to case law, including the Van Landschoot case, which has set precedent. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 2386 July 5, 1988 Councilmember Blesener suggested that it seems that decisions are made based on whether there is organized opposition to a request or not. She felt that the matter should be continued and that Council review the standard on subdividing existing lots. Councilmember Blesener moved that the matter be continued to the August 2nd meeting. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Staff was directed to research the Koppen, Spring Creek Acres and Copperfield files and report at the August 2nd meeting. CASE NO. 88-19, Council acknowledged a report from Adminis- C.G. REIN trator Frazell relative to the C.G. Rein proposal for a 106 unit apartment complex on Outlot A of the Mendakota Estates P.U.D. Mr. Ted Zinner, representing C.G. Rein, reviewed a revised site plan for the Council and audience. Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto relative to the 10% park dedication requirement, Mr. Zinner stated that the Park Commission found that the design of the walkway was advantageous and unanimously recommended approval of the 1.67 acre dedication and the plan shown to the City. Mr. Zinner stated that the complex has been moved back 100 feet from Dodd Road as requested, and that the Park Commission and Rein's traffic engineer have found that the driveway access should be from the project directly to Dodd Road. Councilmember Blesener pointed out that she was very strong in her comments at the last meeting that the buildings be set back 100 feet from the Dodd Road right-of-way, yet the plan shows the buildings being 100 feet from the paved surface. Councilmember Witt pointed to her concern that the buildings should be at the same setback as the houses on the the west side of Dodd. Mr. Zinner responded that the developer is faced with two different noise sources, one at the back (NSP substation) and one at the front (Dodd Road), and that if the buildings are moved back it will wreak Page No. 2387 July 5, 1988 havoc on the residents of the complex. He stated that the buildings are placed on the plan in a location that will keep them away from aggravating noises and that the proposal meets all of the criteria of the ordinance. Councilmember Blesener pointed out that Council talked in terms of setback from the right-of-way and that was Council's intent. She stated that her thoughts in referring the plan to the Park Commission was that the Commission should look at what the City would ever do with the narrow strip of land proposed as dedication. She indicated that while she can see that the Commission would like the extra land she cannot see any concern over the roadway crossing the piece of land. Mayor Mertensotto suggested that direct access to Dodd is hazardous now and direct access from the proposed project to would cause nothing but problems. He felt that a single access point at Mendakota Drive is very important. Mr. Glen Van Wormer, traffic engineer for the project, stated that Mayor Mertensotto is correct that it is desirable to consolidate access points and bring all traffic to a single intersection so that in the future some type of control device can be installed. He suggested that if consolidation is desired, all existing driveways must be brought to the access point or the problem will be compounded. He stated that 2/3 of the traffic from the site will probably want to go to I-494, making right turns out of the site and left turns in. Councilmember Witt asked Mr. Van Wormer what the County standard is for the limit on access points for heavily travelled roads. Mr. Van Wormer responded that the limit is generally 300 to 600 feet and in some instances a quarter -mile, but in that instance there would be control signals. Mr. Howard Bream stated that as the developer of the single family area of Mendakota Estates he opposes using Mendakota Drive as the access to the Page No. 2388 July 5, 1988 apartments and felt that the access points should be separated. Mayor Mertensotto stated that his concern is having another access point at Dodd and felt that the point of entrance must line up with Hokah where the intersection can be controlled. Mr. Zinner responded that this would not work and that as it is proposed, the entrance can have two lanes exiting from the property, one for left turns and one for right turns. Councilmember Blesener stated that she needs information on the proposed resolution he prepared, specifically item 5. She stated that she had come to terms with the fact that what was done was done and the way the resolution was drafted, the whole issue is opened again. She asked whether Council would be making a finding that the proposal is consistent with what was approved two years ago. Attorney Hart responded that the primary finding is that the proposal is consistent with what was already approved, and that item 5 is not critical to the resolution. Councilmember Blesener stated that as far as this proposal goes, she feels the plan is at the same point it was at a month ago: the access must be from Mendakota Drive and the setback must be 100 feet from the Dodd Road right-of-way. Councilmember Witt felt that the setback should be the same as the existing homes. She also stated that she wants to see the massiveness of the structures reduced. Mr. Dale Johnson stated that the homes are set back 140 feet from the centerline of Dodd. With respect to the open space proposal, Mayor Mertensotto felt that the function of the park is passive open space and that the City would be buying a maintenance headache that has no real public purpose. Councilmember Blesener stated that perhaps the City could do something with the land but that crossing the narrow parcel with a Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 2389 July 5, 1988 drive will not disrupt any potential park development. She also stated that she is not prepared to adopt the proposed resolution as submitted. Councilmember Cummins agreed and stated that access should be from Mendakota Drive and the setback should be 100 feet from the right-of-way. Mr. Keith Heaver, owner of a lot in Mendakota Estates, stated that Rein has hired a traffic expert and Council should listen to his recommendation. Mrs. Mary Lou Johnson stated that she has lived on Dodd Road for 17 years and that the traffic problem will not go away. She felt that adding the apartment will only make the congestion worse and using Mendakota Drive as the access will help reduce the potential problem. Mr. Van Wormer responded that it is an excellent idea to consolidate an access point where there is a lot of space to do so but that there are many driveways and commercial drives along Dodd in the area and he does not believe there is a way to consolidate all of the existing entrances. After additional discussion, Councilmember Blesener moved to table action to the July 19th meeting. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. With respect to the proposed resolution, Councilmember Blesener stated that she feels like she is being asked to approve something that she voted against two years ago and that she could not support the resolution as written. Mr. Bernard Friel suggested that he feels the Council in fact rezoned the property with a majority vote rather than a 4/5 vote as is required for rezoning by statute. He stated that while he recognizes that the Council acted on the basis of a PUD he believes the such action cannot be taken without a 4/5 vote and that it is not too late to overturn action taken two years ago. Page No. 2390 July 5, 1988 RECESS Mayor Mertensotto called a recess at 9:50. The meeting was reconvened at 10:00. CURLEY ADDITION PARK Mr. Dave Ayres and Mr. Chris Schneeman were present to request the Curley Addition request for tot lot improvements on Lot 10. Mr. Ayres reviewed the last Council discussion on the matter as well as the Park Commission discussion. He informed Council that he has been negotiating with Rainbow Playground Equipment and has received a figure of $6,700 for the proposed play structure, that the neighborhood will do all construction, including putting in the sod and pea rock and alpine currant. He also stated that Rainbow carries a $1 million liability coverage on the play structure. He stated that if some of the frills are removed, the total cost for the project would be about $12,000. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the Park Commission has indicated they would agree to expend $14,000 from the Park Fund but since this is a tot lot concept it must be determined whether there is Council support. He expressed concern that there is no neighborhood association and that there must be such a legal entity which the City could enter into a developers' agreement with and to deal with if problems occur. Mr. Ayres responded the he believes there was an association formulated some time ago and that it could be revived. Councilmember Cummins suggested that Mr. Ayres contact the Secretary of State's Office to see if the association is still incorporated. Councilmember Witt stated that if Council approves Lot 10 for a tot lot, it would be approving a substandard park and would be taking on unnecessary liability. She reviewed minutes from similar discussions in 1975 and 1984, and felt that although there are now different Council and Park Commission members involved, she does not think the City should compromise its park plan. She felt that it would be appropriate for the City to sell the lot to Page No. 2391 July 5, 1988 the neighborhood and they could develop the lot and that the City should not feel compelled to right a developer's wrong. Councilmember Blesener stated that the matter was discussed at the Council/Park Commission joint meeting and the discussion was that the City would take part of the burden and the neighborhood should take part of the burden. She felt that if the neighborhood wants to enter into a contract, the request should be approved, and that Council should acknowledge that this will be a vest-pocket, non -conforming park that would enhance the neighborhood and would have equipment that the whole City could use. She added that she is willing to support a small neighborhood park area but is concerned that most of the City parks have substandard equipment. She stated that she would like to scale down the play area and make it more modest to compare better with other parks, suggesting that the neighborhood come up with something no bigger than what is in the other neighborhood parks. Councilmember Blesener suggested that Mr. Ayres contact the Mendota School for information on the school's play structure. She further suggested that City staff should handle the culvert, grading and sodding work and establish a mat to be seeded, that the City should contribute $4,000 in time and material and another $4,000 for play equipment. As the result of the discussion, staff was directed to work towards ani4-8,000 cap on the City contribution, one-half of which is to be available to the Association for the purchase of playground equipment. Councilmember Witt stated that she believes the investment would be an inappropriate expenditure of City funds. PARK CONTRACTS Council acknowledged a report from Administrator Frazell regarding a contract with Barton-Aschman for preparation of the park landscape plan and preparation of master facility and layout plans for the Hagstrom-King, Victoria Highlands and Mendakota Estates PUD parks. The contract Page No. 2392 July 5, 1988 cost for the landscape plan is $13,850, with an additional $6,800 cost for the master plans. Councilmember Blesener pointed out that everything is related to concept plans, not construction drawings, and expressed concern about whether the end product will be worth $20,000. Administrator Frazell responded that it is a very well-defined program, and that while Barton-Aschman will not produce bid documents, the City Engineering department will be able to use the information to develop specifications. Councilmember Witt moved to approve the contract with Barton-Aschman Associates for preparation of park landscape plans and neighborhood park master plans. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 MASAC Council acknowledged and discussed a report from Administrator Frazell as a follow-up to the June 18th MASAC meeting. MASAC representative Bernie Friel was present for the discussion. After discussion, Council directed the administrator to send a letter to MASAC indicating that the position previously taken by the City is based on presumptions that may be inaccurate, and that the City reserves the right to amend its position in the future. HUBER DRIVE/MENDOTA Councilmember Cummins moved adoption of HEIGHTS ROAD Resolution No. 88-40, "RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SANITARY SEWER, WATER, STORM SEWER AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE THE SOUTHEAST AREA OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS (HUBER DRIVE AND MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD, IMPROVEMENT NO. 86, PROJECT NO. 1)," awarding the contract to F.M. Frattalone Excavating and Grading, Inc. for their low bid of $585,505.59. Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 2393 July 5, 1988 VISITATION DRIVE Councilmember Witt moved adoption of Resolution No. 88-41, "RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REGARDING VISITATION DRIVE CONSTRUCTION," regarding construction of a turn lane at Visitation Drive. Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 BRIDGEVIEW SHORES Council acknowledged the plans and specifications for construction of the Bridgeview Shores 1st Addition improvements. Councilmember Blesener asked whether the trail along the east end of the soccer field can be extended so that it can be travelled, or at least get it back to a street. Councilmember Blesener moved adoption of Resolution No. 88-42, "RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE BRIDGEVIEW SHORES 1ST ADDITION (IMPROVEMENT NO. 88, PROJECT NO. 1), the plans to be adjusted to include the trail extension. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 ASSESSMENT ROLLS Council acknowledged receipt of the proposed assessment rolls for Park Place and The ponds of Mendota Heights & Rolling Woods additions. Councilmember Cummins moved adoption of Resolution No. 88-43, "RESOLUTION CALLING FOR HEARING ON ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR PARK PLACE SUBDIVISION AND ADJACENT AREA IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 86, PROJECT NO. 12)," and RESOLUTION NO. 88-44, "RESOLUTION CALLING FOR HEARING ON ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE PONDS OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS, ROLLING WOODS ADDITION, ROLLING WOODS 2ND ADDITION AND ADJACENT AREA IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 86, PROJECT NO. 9)." Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 2394 July 5, 1988 CITY HALL Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the City Administrator regarding installation of a drainage basin and piping in the upper parking lot of new City Hall. Councilmember Cummins moved to authorize a change order for the City Hall contract with Joseph Construction for installation of an upper parking lot catch basin and piping in the amount of $4,785. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 1989 BUDGET It was the consensus of Council that Council hold a budget workshop on Tuesday, July 12th at 7:30 P.M. MISCELLANEOUS Council acknowledged a proposed revised form of the resolution accepting bids and awarding contracts for public improvements and authorized its use in the future.

Page 1 July 26, 1988 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, JULY 26, 1988 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission was held on Tuesday, July 26, 1988, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 750 South Plaza Drive. Chairman Morson called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. The following members were present: Morson, Anderson, Duggan, Krebsbach and McMonigal. Burke had notified the Commission that he would be absent. Also present were Planner Dahlgren and Public Works Director Danielson. RESIGNATION The Commission acknowledged the resignation of former Commissioner Stu Henning and commended him for his wonderful work with the Commission, asking the City Council to acknowledge his work, and stating that he will be missed. APPROVAL OF Commissioner Duggan moved approval of the MINUTES June 28 minutes as corrected on pages 2, 4 & 5. Commissioner McMonigal seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-26, Mr. Rollin Crawford, attorney for Thomas HASTINGS, Hastings, was present to request a wetlands WETLANDS PERMIT permit and front yard setback variance for & VARIANCE Mr. Hastings, to allow construction of a single family home on Lot 3, Block 1, Valley Curve Estates, which fronts on Marie Avenue. Mr. Crawford noted that the adjacent home is set back 72 feet from Marie and that variances and wetlands permits were known to be needed in approving this subdivision two years ago. Mr. Hastings proposed a seven foot front yard variance to allow his home to be 50 feet from Marie, which is 1/3 of the lot depth and a wetlands permit to allow the home to be within 55 feet of the wetlands area. The applicant also requested a reduction in the width of the water easement on the north side of the rear of Lot 3. He asked that the easement be 10 feet wide along the north edge and Mr. Crawford advised the Commission that this request may require a public hearing at the Council level, but he wanted the Commission's input first. Page 2 July 26, 1988 The concensus of the Commission was that they should do whatever is allowed to narrow the water easement. Commissioner Anderson asked if the deck could be moved to another location so as not to encroach on the easement. Mr. Hastings said the deck plans have been changed and it is now six feet closer to the house. Public Works Director Danielson said that the easement could be amended, if necessary and a reasonable easement width would be as the applicant proposed. Mr. Hastings said he will provide an updated deck plan to the City Council. Commissioner Krebsbach expressed gratitude for the preservation of trees along -Marie for this lot. Commissioner Anderson moved to recommend: 1. approval of a front yard setback variance of 26 feet, allowing the home to be located 50 feet, rather than 57 feet from Marie. 2. approval of a wetlands permit to allow the home to be within 55 feet of the wetlands. 3. that the City Council look with favor on the request that the water easement be squared off to run 10 feet in width along the entire length of the rear of the property of Lot 3, Block 1, Valley Curve Estates. Commissioner Duggan seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-28, Mr. Harold LeVander was present BARTUSCH, LOT representing Mrs. Florence Bartusch, 1753 SPLIT Sutton Lane, who was asking for a lot split to add three more feet from the rear of the lot behind hers (Mr. Hoene's lot, 1752 Trail Rd.) to her lot. This transfer of property would have no adverse affect on either lot, with both lots still containing more than the required 15,000 square feet of lot area. Page 3 July 26, 1988 The applicant requested a front yard setback variance of 36 feet, allowing the home to be 40 feet from Marie Avenue. Commissioner Krebsbach expressed her thoughts over the trees in the front yard and asked that as many as possible be kept. Commissioner Krebsbach moved to recommend approval of a 36 foot front yard setback variance, allowing a single family home to be located 40 feet from Marie and within 54 Commissioner Duggan asked if Mrs. Bartusch would pay for a new, updated survey for Mr. Hoene's mortgage company. The Commission agreed to recommend waiving of the lot split application fee for Mrs. Bartusch. Mr. LeVander stated he will be sure to see that the survey is recorded by Dakota County. Commissioner Duggan moved to: 1. Recommend approval of the minor lot split as requested. 2. Be sure that the proper surveys are submitted to the County at no expense to Mr. Hoene. 3. Recommend waiving of the application fee. Commissioner McMonigal seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-29, Mr. Dick Bjorklund, Jr. was present to BJORKLUND, request a wetlands permit and variance to WETLAND PERMIT allow construction of a single family home & VARIANCE for John Spanjers on Lot 2, Block 1, Valley Curve Estates, which is just west of the previous Hastings lot. Mr. Bjorklund noted that the garage will be 20 feet from the east lot line and proposes a turn around driveway five feet from the lot line, so the owner doesn't have to back out onto Marie Avenue. He noted that there is a six foot easement on the east property line which will not affect construction at all. The applicant requested a front yard setback variance of 36 feet, allowing the home to be 40 feet from Marie Avenue. Commissioner Krebsbach expressed her thoughts over the trees in the front yard and asked that as many as possible be kept. Commissioner Krebsbach moved to recommend approval of a 36 foot front yard setback variance, allowing a single family home to be located 40 feet from Marie and within 54 Page 4 July 26, 1988 Mr. Patrick stated that he would like to create four lots and an outlot. His existing home would remain on one of the lots. He noted that the land is zoned single family but is designated multi- family in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He and his wife plan to stay in their existing home and do not want to see multi -family housing next to their home. The property in question is hilly and heavily wooded and a portion of the outlot is a swampy area, but is not a designated wetlands. He proposes a temporary cul-de-sac until the Clark property to the west is developed. Mrs. Patrick showed photos of their existing home and of homes constructed along freeways. The westerly cul-de-sac is proposed to be a future public street. Mr. Patrick indicated the lot sizes to range from almost 53,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. Commissioner Duggan asked if Lot 4 (nearly 53,000 square feet) could be subdivided in the future. The response was probably not, due to the steep grade change. Commissioners Anderson and Duggan expressed their concern over the future of the outlot. In response to a Commission question, Mr. Patrick noted that his present driveway is about 600 feet long. Chairman Morson stated he would like to see an aerial photo and topo of the area. He then asked for questions or comments from the audience. feet of the wetlands for Lot 2, Block 1, Valley Curve Estates. Commissioner Duggan seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 88-27, Chairman Morson called the meeting to order PATRICK, SUBDIV- for the purpose of a public hearing to ISION, HEARING consider a request from Mr. Stephen Patrick, 737 Mendota Heights Road, for the subdivision of his 6.75 acre parcel of land located between Mendota Heights Road and I-494. Mr. Patrick stated that he would like to create four lots and an outlot. His existing home would remain on one of the lots. He noted that the land is zoned single family but is designated multi- family in the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He and his wife plan to stay in their existing home and do not want to see multi -family housing next to their home. The property in question is hilly and heavily wooded and a portion of the outlot is a swampy area, but is not a designated wetlands. He proposes a temporary cul-de-sac until the Clark property to the west is developed. Mrs. Patrick showed photos of their existing home and of homes constructed along freeways. The westerly cul-de-sac is proposed to be a future public street. Mr. Patrick indicated the lot sizes to range from almost 53,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. Commissioner Duggan asked if Lot 4 (nearly 53,000 square feet) could be subdivided in the future. The response was probably not, due to the steep grade change. Commissioners Anderson and Duggan expressed their concern over the future of the outlot. In response to a Commission question, Mr. Patrick noted that his present driveway is about 600 feet long. Chairman Morson stated he would like to see an aerial photo and topo of the area. He then asked for questions or comments from the audience. Page 5 July 26, 1988 Mr. Irving Clark, owner of the property to the east of Mr. Patrick, was present and said Mr. Patrick clearly stated the details of the plan and Mr. Clark was in agreement with the plans and with preserving the land as single family. He noted that there are no structures on the west side of the proposed cul-de-sac, as Mn/DOT took his home for 494, but that a swimming pool still remains south of the proposed plat. Mr. Tom Boyce, Centex developer, stated everything Mr. Patrick said is true and he is agreeable with all of it. Mr. Dick Putnam, Tandem Corporation, said he expects to be before the Commission within the next month or so for development of the Opus property which is nearby. A lady in the audience asked if apartments lower property values of single family homes on the same street. Commissioner Duggan responded to her concerns. There being no further questions or comments from the audience, Commissioner Anderson moved that the public hearing be closed at 8:50 P.M. Commissioner Duggan seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Commissioner Anderson stated that he felt the subdivision is not compatible with the Comprehensive Plan, that it is premature and that he would need to see what is planned for the Clark property. He moved to recommend disapproval of the preliminary plat. There was no second to the motion, therefore the motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Duggan moved to recommend approval of the preliminary plat as presented, with the provision that this is acceptable to Mr. Clark, that Mr. Patrick provide more documentation on his plans for lot swaps or sale prior to City Council action being taken, that any easements be properly defined for Council consideration, and that the final plat contain everything the Council requires, i.e., location of Page 6 July 26, 1988 trees, etc. Commissioner Krebsbach seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 1, Anderson Mr. Clark asked the Commission not to ask him to agree or disagree on what Mr. Patrick does with the land that is purchased from him. CASE NO. 88-24, Ms. Jann Peyer, 606 Sibley Memorial PEYER, LOT SPLIT Highway, was present for this matter, which had been tabled from the June 28 meeting. She distributed drawings showing how a home could be situated on the proposed new lot. She asked for approval of a 20 foot variance from Eugenia and variances to the lot sizes for both lots. She noted she would build and occupy the new home, and that in approving the lot split, two new lots would be created out of four smaller lots. The Commission advised Ms. Peyer that she would need to acquire a driveway permit from Mn/DOT for an entrance onto TH 13. Commissioner Anderson was not enthused about this proposal and felt it was not in harmony with the existing neighborhood. Commissioner McMonigal saw no problem in obtaining the Mn/DOT permit and had no problem with the proposed new home being 10 feet from Eugenia, which will probably never be used as a street, but which serves an important function as a bike pathway. Commissioner Krebsbach moved to recommend that Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Block 1, Cherokee Park Heights Addition be rearranged to create two new lots, noting that the average lot sizes are substandard and require variances, and that a 20 foot sideyard variance be granted for Eugenia, a 3,313 square foot lot size variance be granted for Lot B, a 278 square foot variance be granted for Lot A, and that a permit be obtained from Mn/DOT for a driveway onto TH 13. Commissioner McMonigal seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 2, Anderson, Morson Page 7 July 26, 1988 CASE NO. 88-30, The applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Rubin, RUBIN, VARIANCE 1303 Sylvandale Road, met with Planner Dahlgren the day before the Commission meeting, therefore there were no staff reports available on this case. Mr. and Mrs. Rubin were present to request approval of a 9 foot sideyard variance and a one foot rear yard variance to allow construction of a 16' x 27' garage addition on their property. They had written approval of their proposal from their contiguous neighbors. Under Plan C, the manor homes have 4-6 units per building, with a total multi- family unit of 537, which includes manor homes, condominiums, and townhouses. There are also 41 single family homes proposed for a grand total of 578 units in Plan C. Plan A contained 81 acres, with 20.5 acres for parks, and 540 multi -family units, plus single family homes. Plan B had 102 acres with 40 acres of park land and 500 multi -family units. Plan C has 114 total acres, with about 26 acres for park, 537 multi -family units plus 41 single family homes. The 41 single Commissioner Duggan moved to recommend approval of a 9 foot sideyard variance and a one foot rear yard variance to allow the addition as proVosed and as shown on the surveyor's certificate dated 6-21-88. Commissioner Krebsbach seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 PRE -APPLICATION Developers Dick Putnam and Tom Boyce were MEETING, KENSING- present to advise the Commission of their TON PUD CONCEPT proposed plans for the Kensington PUD. They talked about their proposed "dumbbell" park and the varieties of housing that are proposed. The dumbbell park is described as Plan C which has 26-28 acres and 2 unlit soccer fields. The two softball fields could be lighted but they prefer not to light them due to the closeness of the homes they might adversely affect. Both softball fields are full size, 300 foot fields. Under Plan C, the manor homes have 4-6 units per building, with a total multi- family unit of 537, which includes manor homes, condominiums, and townhouses. There are also 41 single family homes proposed for a grand total of 578 units in Plan C. Plan A contained 81 acres, with 20.5 acres for parks, and 540 multi -family units, plus single family homes. Plan B had 102 acres with 40 acres of park land and 500 multi -family units. Plan C has 114 total acres, with about 26 acres for park, 537 multi -family units plus 41 single family homes. The 41 single Page 8 July 26, 1988 family homes would be constructed on approximately 23 acres, at 2 units per acre, which leaves about 70-72 acres for multi -family at an average of 6 units per acre density. Planner Dahlgren noted that this averages about 100 units under the allowable density. Mr. Putnam and Mr. Boyce thanked the Commission for the chance to let them know what is going on, and invited anyone on the Commission to join the Park and Recreation Subcommittee in their park study. ELECTION OF VICE- Chairman Morson nominated Burt Anderson as CHAIRMAN vice-chairman, to replace Commissioner Henning who has resigned. Commissioner McMonigal seconded the nomination. Commissioner Anderson accepted the unanimous choice and was elected as Vice - Chair for the remainder of 1988. VERBAL REVIEW Public Works Director Danielson gave a verbal review of the cases that had been before the City Council. MISCELLANEOUS Chairman Morson felt that dog signs relating to the newly adopted dog ordinance should be posted in the City's parks. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Commission, Commissioner Duggan moved that the meeting be adjourned. Commissioner McMonigal seconded the motion.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 25, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. z 1 y Administrator SUBJECT: Min esota River Valley Deer Hunt By the attached letter and proposal, the Dept. of Natural Resources is making its annual request to the Council to allow a deer hunt in the Minnesota River Valley. As described, a three -phased approach is proposed for this year, including a special shotgun hunt, archery hunt, and sharp shooting. The DNR has also enclosed a preliminary proposal for the establishment of a Minnesota River Valley management task force. Apparently this is a request of the City of Burnsville, and other communities along the river valley are being invited to participate. A representative of the Dept. will be present to discuss this issue with Council. KDF:madlr STATE OF ` DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL. RESOURCES PHONE NO. 12 ) 445-9 X93 July 19, 1988 FILE NO.

Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Mr. Frazell: I am submitting the attached proposal for deer population control on public lands in the Minnesota River Valley for approval of your City Council. As', 'usual, I am running late. We have to publish our Commissioner's Order very shortly and we plan to accept applications for special hunts starting August 15-. If possible, we need to have your decision as near August 1 as possible. Please let me know as soon as possible when you think this matter may be considered. We will have someone available for a meeting at any time. If you have questions, please call me. Thank you for consideration of this proposal. Sincerely Jon Parker AreaiWildlife Manager AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER PROPOSAL FOR 1988 MINNESOTA VALLEY DEER POPULATION CONTROL 1. 1987 Deer Reduction Effort. We conducted 3 special hunts: archery, shotgun, and muzzleloader. Deer harvest was as follows: Shotgun - 34, Muzzleloader - 4, Archery (estimated from hunter survey and population modelling) - 38. We believe that the early archery season dispersed and conditioned the deer sufficiently to reduce the effectiveness of the shotgun hunt. The muzzleloader hunt attracted only 8 applicants. We did not do any deer removal with sharpshooters as proposed last year. There was uncertainty about the population estimates due to the lack of an aerial survey in 1987. We felt that it would be wiser to wait rather than risk a serious overharvest. We were unable to document the exact harvest by bowhunters because we did not require them to register the deer at specific locations. We relied on a mail survey of hunters which did not produce sufficient data. 2. Population Status and Goals. Our goal is to reduce the winter deer population density to 15-25 per square mile between the I-35 bridge and the Mississippi River. The estimated population in January 1988 as determined by an aerial survey was 291, or 35 per square mile. This is one-half of the 1986 population. Population modelling leads us to believe that this apparent reduction is due to 1. unusually high migration of deer into the valley in 1986 which made the winter population higher than normal, and 2. the removal of 226 deer with hunting and sharpshooting in the winter of 1986-87. Our deer population model indicates that despite the removal of 72 deer in 1987, the population remains about the same this year. In addition, the DNR survey of car -killed deer shows that the deer are producing a high number of fawns this year due to the mild winter. This means we must take even more deer to have an effect on their numbers next year. Based on the latest data we project that we need to remove 222 deer in 1988 and 106 deer in 1989 to reduce the present winter population from 291 to 132 or 16 deer per square. From 1990 into the future we will have to remove deer either with small annual hunts or with larger hunts and sharpshooting every second or third year. This year we improved the coverage of our aerial surveys with financial assistance from the cities of Burnsville and Eagan. We counted 143 deer in Eagan and 12 deer in Burnsville both excluding the river valley. Since we don't see more than 75 % of the deer, we estimate the population wintering outside the valley is about 200. We plan to continue these surveys so that major movements into or out of the valley can be accounted for in our models. 3. 1988 Deer Removal P Kopp sa 1_ a. Special Shotgun Hunt. Dates: November 5-6 and 12-13 (two weekends). This is the same framework and regulations as in past years. Special restrictions are attached. Number of hunters: a maximum of 100 They will be distributed as follows: Ft. Snelling State Park (Mendota Heights and Eagan) -73 and Black Dog Unit of the Minnesota Valley Refuge (Burnsville)- 27. Hunters will be required to attend a special orientation and training session to be eligible for the hunt as in past years. b. Archery Hunt. Dates: November 14 to December 31. Hunters: These will be admitted by special Refuge permits issued as they were last year. The permits will be valid for all open units of the Refuge. Fort Snelling State Park may not be included if we feel that the harvest will be sufficient with the shotgun hunt. The number of permittees will be unlimited as it was last year. We did not have serious problems with great numbers of hunters last year, and the numbers will probably be lower this year due to the late hunting dates. Permittees will be required to personnally pick up the permit at the Minnesota Valley Refuge Headquarters where they will receive an orientation and special hunt instructions (including maps of the area) by Refuge personnel. The Refuge may charge a small permit issuing fee if authorized. Successful hunters will be required to register their deer at specific locations so that we may accurately determine the number killed. If a shotgun hunt is not authorized by all three cities there will be no shotgun hunt. We would then propose to hold the archery hunt in the Fort Snelling State Park and the Black Dog Unit for the entire season, September 17 through December 31, with the same permitting procedures. c. Sharr hooting. Dates: January through March 1989. Shooting will be done only by DNR and US Fish & Wildlife Service law enforcement personnel as in 1986. They will attempt to take enough deer to reach the goal of 222. It is unlikely that the hunts will remove more than 100 deer. This activity will be coordinated with local police as to times and locations. Deer taken will be salvaged and donated to non-profit organizations for public purposes. We request that each city approve or disapprove each of the options presented. 1. To allow a 4 -day shotgun hunt followed by a 16 -day archery hunt. 2. To allow a 106 -day archery season if shotgun hunting is not possible. 3. To allow DNR and Fish & Wildlife sharpshooters to shoot deer during January through March. ��nn��SnnTAATEE OF UV UV L5Z(0CM% DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES JNE NO.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 07/19/88 PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL MINNESOTA RIVER VALLEY DEER MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE JUSTIFICATION: 1. The Burnsville City Council has requested that a citizen's task force on deer management be instituted by wildlife management authorities. Before approving DNR deer hunts and/or sharpshooting this year, the Council has asked DNR to prepare a proposal for the task force and take steps to begin implementing it. The Council will not approve further deer hunts until the task force makes recommendations to the Council. 2. This task force may be instrumental in coordinating deer management programs among the many cities in the lower Minnesota River Valley. To date, wildlife management agencies have been unable to many cities with deer problems crossing city boundaries to work together for comprehensive solutions. 3. Such a task force could be utilized to address other inter -city wildlife management issues in the Metro Region, such as Canada goose contol, by modifying its membership to suit the issue. TASK FORCE GOALS: 1. Identify the problems associated with deer populations in the Valley. 2. Review past and proposed deer management by wildlife agencies. 3. Review esisting and potential deer population control methods and recommend methods to be used in the Valley. 4. Recommend desireable deer population densities. 5. Recommend practical methods for implementing a comprehensive deer management program in the lower Minnesota Valley. Recommendations should include: a. agency, person or group in charge of implementing the program, b. agencies responsible for financing the program, c. institutional changes needed to implement such a program, such as city ordinances or Minnesota statutes. TASK FORCE MEMBERSHIP: The City of Burnsville has offered to provide a "facilitator" for the task force. This person would provide a structure for analyzing the problem and identifying solutions and could act as a moderator or meeting leader. The group should have representatives of organizations with interest in deer populations, citizens from each city involved, and representatives from the natural resource managment agencies involved. Organizations might include MN Deer Hunters Association, National Wildlife Refuge Association, MN State Archery Association, Minnesota Bowhunters, Animal Rights or "Humane" organizations, Other hunting and non -hunting wildlife organizations, and Park and Trail user organizations. Natural Resources agencies should include: US Fish & Wildlife Service, DNR Division of Parks and Recreation, DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife, and Hennepin Parks. Cities which should be invited to participate include: Burnsville, Eagan, Mendota Heights, Bloomington, and probably Eden Prairie, Savage, Shakopee, Edina, and Chanhassen. This list has the potential for making a large task force, possibly too large to be effective. I believe that cities should be given the opportunity to participate as they see fit either by assigning staff or advertising and selecting an unbiased citizen representative. The task force should probably be no larger than 8-10 people exclusive of agency representatives. Hunting and shooting organization participation may be coordinated though an existing organization, the Shooting Sports Task Force. I will seek recommendations on Animal Rights/Humane group participation from Richard Laybourn of Burnsville, and from mailing lists in the DNR Headquarters. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:. I am requesting that comments on this proposal be submitted to Jon Parker, DNR -Wildlife, 223 Holmes St., Shakopee MN 55379; Phone (612) 445-9393. I would like comments by August 20 1988. I have been tentatively soliciting members already, but I expect the full selection process should be underway by Mid -September, 1988. I would like to have an initial meeting sometime in September or October. Findings and recommendations to the cities and agencies should be completed and governmental review scheduled by the end of March, 1989. Approval of 1989 management plans must be gained by the end of May so that appropriate regulations can be written for 1989 hunting seasons, if applicable. PROPOSAL DISTRIBUTION: I am sending this preliminary proposal to the cities of Burnsville, Eagan, and Mendota Heights today. After meeting with the Burnsville City Council on July 25, and hopefully getting input from Eagan and Mendota Heights, I will send a revised proposal to other Cities. I am also sending this proposal to DNR -Metro Region Parks & Recreation, US Fish & Wildlife Service - Minnesota Valley Refuge, and DNR -Section of Wildlife.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Curleys Tot Lot Job No. 8813 III]LYii iL*V•ffillLim Residents of the Curley neighborhood were at the July 5, 1988 City Council meeting to request that the City construct a tot lot in their neighborhood. Council asked staff to investigate the possibility of com- pleting a portion of the project inhouse. Approximately $4000 was budgeted for the inhouse construction costs and $4000 for equipment costs (the neighbors are researching how they want to spend the $4000 for equipment). Staff has prepared the following construction estimate: 1. 500 cubic yards grading (see attached plan) - Public Works would rent a small dozer for 3 - 4 days @ $800.00 2. Extend culvert 175 feet - A private contractor would be hired to complete this phase $2500.00 3. Seed/Sod disturbed areas - Public Works would accomplish this. $200.00 4. Staking and inspection by City Engineering $1000.00 TOTAL $4500.00 Both Enginering Staff and Public Works Staff are totally committed on other projects through August so should Council desire to direct staff to complete the construction phase of this project, work could not begin until sometime in September. The homeowners were asked to organize a homeowners association so that the City would have a legal body with which to work.. ACTION REQUIRED: Review the attached cost estimate and determine a course of action. Should Council decide to proceed, staff should be ordered to prepare a Developer's Agreement to be executed with the Curley homeowners association y MEMO CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS To: Mayor and City Council From: Kevin F35��ity Administrator Re: CASE NO. 88-15 Perron Lot Split INTRODUCTION Mr. and Mrs. John Perron, 1940 lot split of their property to additional single-family home. feet of frontage, meaning that have only 85 feet of frontage. R-1 zoning standard of 100 ft., for a variance. July 26, 1988 South Lane, have applied for a permit construction of an The Perron property has 185 the newly created lot would This is 15 feet less than the so the Perron's have applied The Planning Commission heard the case on May 24th, and voted to deny the application, based on the finding that it did not meet the R-1 zoning standard, nor the criteria for granting a variance. Council discussed the case on June 7th and July 5th. During these deliberations, the Perron's have pointed out a number of other lots in the City with less than the 100 ft. required frontage, and inquired as to how their application differs. Council directed staff to research these cases. The purpose of this memo is to discuss the legal standards for a variance, how the cited precedents fit within ordinance criteria, and whether the present application fulfills the standards for granting a variance. ZONING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR A VARIANCE Ordinance No. 401, the Zoning Ordinance, adopted in 1971, sets forth the standards for land use in the community. In the case of R-1, ONE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, minimum lot size is 15,000 sq. ft., and the minimum lot width 100 ft. An additional provision of the ordinance reads: A lot of record existing upon the effective date of this Ordinance in an "R" District, which does not meet the requirements of the Ordinance as to area or width may be utilized for single family detached dwelling purposes provided the measurements of such area or width are within seventy percent (70%) of the requirements of this Ordinance . . . 1 In other words, any existing lot at the the zoning ordinance in 1971, that has ft. of area and 70 ft. of frontage, is lot. VARIANCES time of adoption of at least 10,500 sq. considered a buildable Any other deviation from the strict enforcement of the standards of the code is to be processed as a variance. State statute (MSA 462.357, Subd. 6(2)) is fairly explicit on the standards for a variance: To hear requests for variances from the literal provisions of the ordinance in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and to grant such variances only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. . . The important point to grasp in this language is that the "hardship" must be unique to the property, and that the provisions of the zoning ordinance, if literally enforced, would deny the property owner any reasonable use of his property. Personal hardships, such as unemployment, health, or inability to pay taxes, are not the types of hardships contemplated or allowed by the statute; the hardship must be related to the property itself, and not to the people owning or residing at the property. It is interesting to note that the Governor's Advisory Commission on State and Local Relations is recommending new land use law that would change the test of "undue hardship" to one of "unnecessary burden," a much easier standard to meet. That legislation has not been considered or passed by the legislature, however. The variance language in the City of Mendota Heights zoning ordinance is similar in concept to that found in State law. It is far more explicit in setting forth the findings Council should make in granting a variance. A copy of the language is attached for your review. Language similar to statute 2 includes "the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right. . ." and "the granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty." PREVIOUS CASES CITED BY THE PERRONS Spring Creek Acres subdivision - SW corner of Marie and Dodd - A review of the planning case file reveals that all lots meet minimum square footage and frontage requirements. Perhaps the Perrons refer to the fact that some of the lots on Spring Creek Circle do not have 100 ft. at the property line. They do, however, have the 100 ft. at the building line (30 ft. in from the property line), and so meet the code requirement. This is usual on cul-de-sacs. Copperfield subdivision - The Copperfield subdivision consists of approximately 200 lots, about one-third of which have frontages of less than 100 ft. Other lots in the subdivision, however, exceed the 100 ft. standard, so that the average in the entire development is about 105 - 110 feet of frontage. Copperfield was processed under the planned unit development provisions of the zoning ordinance. As Council is aware, the PUD section of the ordinance allows for substantial variances from strict interpretation of the zoning code, for the purpose of promoting flexibility of design. The PUD option is only available on parcels of 10 acres or more, and is normally used on large-scale projects, where the community and neighborhood concerns focus more on the overall impact of the development than upon the particulars of individual lot configuration. 660 N. Freeway Rd. - The Perrons have questioned the current construction of a single-family home on the above mentioned lot (Jefferson Heights, L3/B3) which has only 83.8 feet of frontage. Apparently, in the original Jefferson Heights plat, this lot had 100 ft. of frontage. Sometime during the 1960's or early 701s, 16.2 feet were removed and attached to the adjoining Lot 4. The lot, in its current configuration, was in place at the time of adoption of the city zoning ordinance; as long as it meets the 70% test discussed above, it is considered a buildable lot. Koppen Variance, Hwy. 110 Frontage Rd. - the variance for this property, Lots 8 and 9, Block 2, Mortenson's Addition, was actually for sq. footage rather than frontaVe. The property is a triangular-shaped piece that remained after MnDot taking for the frontaVe road. The lot has 230 front feet, but because of its triangular shape, has only 11,987 sq. feet of area. 3 This is a classic case of where strict enforcement of the zoning code would have left the property totally unusable for any purpose. In addition, the extremely wide boulevard in the area (40 ft.), meant that the sq. footage and set back variances could be granted without a detrimental affect on the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Had MnDot taken only a normal boulevard of 15 ft., the lot would have had in excess of 20,000 sq. ft. of area. THE PERRON VARIANCE REQUEST Clearly, the Perron lot has insufficient frontage to be subdivided within the literal application of the zoning code; a variance would be needed in conjunction with approval of the subdivision. The question before the Council then, is whether the Perron application meets the standards of State statute and local ordinance for the granting of a variance. An implicit test in land use matters is reasonableness. If the Council were to deny the variance request, would it be unreasonably requiring the Perrons to meet a standard not being maintained by others in the neighborhood? A review of the Jefferson Heights plat shows the average lot frontage to be about 125 feet. South Freeway Rd. has a number of 100 foot lots that reduce the average. The average for North Freeway Rd. and South Lane is about 156 feet. Staff finds two lots with less than 100 feet, the 83.8 foot lot discussed above, and a second lot with 94 feet of frontage. There are two other lots in the neighborhood between 175 and 200 feet, the Goldmans at 185 and a second lot at 178. If you have not already done so, I would encourage you to drive around the neighborhood to get a feel for the lot sizes. In acting on this application, consider the precedential value subdivisions in the City. ACTION REQUIRED Council will also want to for other large lot If Council determines that the variance and subdivision should be Vranted, it should make that determination on the basis outlined in the City variance standards (see attached), in particular that "the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." If, in the alternative, Council feels that variance request is not appropriate, it should vote to deny the application, citing as the reason no finding of "undue hardship" which would serve as the basis for the granting of a variance. 4 , cul • ,r i 8406 - 8407 HOUSING, REDEVELOPMENT, PLANNING, ZONING 462,357 ce shalt the existing ordinance would take effect when: adopted,'. and shall have considered icativu of its t whether the number of descriptions of real estate affected by such changes and I of its limits ;'t alterations renders the obtaining of such written consent impractical, and such regulations; i' . planning commission or planning board shall report in writing as to whether in its undaries less t;. opinion the proposals of the governing body in any case are reasonably related to the i its side of a" overall needs of the community, to existing land use, or to a plan for future land use, • iii a, t6wn or •; and shall have conducted a public hearing on such proposed ordinance, changes or ay ti{►er' fter alterations, of which hearing published noticei shall have been given in a .•daily ;operiy were �tt' newspaper of general circulation at least once each week for three successive weeks rd 'adopts a �.4 prior to such hearing, which notice shall state the time, lace and purpose of such { hearing, and shall have reported to the governing body of the city its fin"din"gsacid 'recommendations in writing.-! ^'' A a land use ' ying out, the Subd. ,6.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Jan Peyer,Lot Division Case No. 88-24 nTgr11gqT0N- At their July 19th meeting City Council rejected Ms. Jan Peyer's re- quest to vacate Eugenia Street. Council sent the matter back to the Planning Commission to consider the granting of variances to allow a lot division without of adding the vacated street. Ms. Peyer prepared a site plan for the Planning Commission showing how a home could be situated on the lot without vacating Eugenia (see attached). RECOMMENDATION: At their July meeting the Planning Commission voted 3-2 to recommend approving the required variance to allow the Peyer lot division. Commis- sioner Anderson lives in the area and he felt that allowing another home to be constructed on this lot would adversely impact the spacious feeling of the neighborhood. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council desires to implement the Planning Commission recommendation they need to pass a motion approving the following variances: 1. Lot A - 278 square foot variance to the lot area. 2. Lot B - 3,313 square foot variance to the lot area. - 20 foot side yard setback variance (to Eugenia) Council also needy to adopt Resolution No. 88- , RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LOT DIVISION OF LOT 2, BLOCK 1, CHEROKEE PARK HEIGHTS. NOTE: The newly created lots will comply with 70% rule if created. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 88 - RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LOT DIVISION OF LOT 2, BLOCK 1, CHEROKEE PARK HEIGHTS WHEREAS, Ms. Jan Peyer, owner of Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Block 1, Cherokee Park Heights, Dakota County, Minnesota has requested from the City to divide those lots into two buildable lots;and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed said lot division and finds the same to be in order. NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, that the lot division submitted at this meeting be and the same is hereby approved. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 2nd day of August, 1988. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS B Charles E. Mertensotto, Mayor ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson, City Clerk N CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 20, 1988 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jim Danielson and Paul Berg P.W. Director Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: Case No. 88-24, Peyer, Lot Division DISCUSSION• At the last Planning Commission meeting, the Commission tabled a request from Ms. Jan Peyer, 606 Sibley Memorial Highway, to divide her property into two buildable lots. The Commission wanted to wait to find out the results of the City Council action on vacating Eugenia Street. Council has now conducted the public hearing and denied Ms. Peyer's request to vacate Eugenia Street (on a 2-2 vote). The Council indicated that they would prefer to grant Ms. Peyer the variances she needed to create a new lot and construct a home, rather than give up the Eugenia Street right-of-way. Ms. Peyer is preparing a site plan that illustrates how a home could be constructed on the lot without vacating Eugenia and what variances will be needed. That drawing will be available Tuesday evening. Staff suggests the two variances to be considered: 1. 3,313 square feet of area to the 15,000 square foot minimum lot size. 2. 20 foot side yard setback to the 30 foot minimum from a public street. ACTION REQUIRED: Review the proposal with the applicant and make a recommendation to the City Council. JED/PRB:madlr PLANNING REPORT DATE: 26 July 1988 CASE NUMBER: 88-24 APPLICANT: Janice A. Peyer LOCATION: Southeast of Sibley Highway, Between Downing Street and Garden Lane (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Lot Division and i Vacation of Street PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: ' 1. This application was tabled at the last regular meeting of the Planning Commission pending a review of the street vacation proposal by the City Council. As we understand it, the Council will be considering this proposal at its July 19th meeting, subsequent to which there should be a more definitive perspective on the development potential of the property in question. . 2. Attached is a copy of the report prepared for the June meeting of the Planning Commission. 3. If the street is vacated, it would appear that Parcel B as proposed in the lot division plan would be a buildable lot with 16,705 square feet. If the street is not vacated and a setback of 30 feet is to be adhered to, it would appear that the parcel is not adequate for development purposes. ' 4. Depending upon the Council's decision with respect to the vacation of the right-of-way, an alternative solution may be appropriate for consideration. Such consideration may involve movement of the proposed line between the two lots, which would have impact on the existing home. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO July 27, 1988 TO: Mayor, City Council and City *��ator FROM: James E. Danielson '` Public Works Director SUBJECT: Hastings Wetlands Permit Case No. 88-26 nTRr11RRTnN At their July meeting the Planning Commission considered a wetlands permit and front yard setback variance for Lot 3, Valley Curve Estates (see attached memos). There is also a wide easement on the plat to accommodate sewer and water installation. Sewer was not installed in the easement so the applicant desires to reduce the size of the easement to allow construc- tion of a larger deck on his home. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend a 7 foot front yard variance (1/3 the average lot depth), a wetlands permit to allow con- struction within 55 feet of a drainage way and reduction of the utility easement to allow the larger deck construction (staff concurs subject to retention of an easement line that is a minimum of 10 feet from the water - main) . ACTION REQUIRED: If Council desires to implement the Planning Commission recommendation they should pass a motion approving the 7 foot front yard setback variance and the wetlands permit. In order to vacate the public easement a public hearing will need to be heldlalso there is a requirement for a $250 fee. Should the applicant desire to pursue it, the easement vacation will need to be considered at a future meeting. 13 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 20, 1988 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jim Danielson, P.W. Director SUBJECT: Case No. 88-26, Hastings, Wetlands Permit and Front Yard Setback Variance DISCUSSION: Mr. Tom Hastings has applied for a wetlands permit to construct a home on one of the Spanjer's lots fronting on Marie Avenue (see attached map). There is an existing home on the lot to the east that is constructed at a 76 foot front yard setback. Mr. Hastings' home therefore, will need a front yard setback variance to be in front of this previously constructed home. He has attempted to balance the variance required on the front and the wetlands setback on the rear to achieve the best home location. The existing plan shows the deck to be encroaching 12 feet into a public utility easement. The deck will need to be redesigned to be off the easement. ACTION REQUIRED: Review the request with the applicant and make a recommendation to the City Council on: 1. The 26 foot front yard setback variance. 2. A wetlands permit to allow construction within 55 feet of a drainageway.

JR. PAUL H ANDERSON TIMOTHY J KUNTZ DANIEL J BEESON ROLLIN H CRAWFORD RE: Lot 3, Block 1, Valley Curve Estates, Mendota Heights, MN Dear Howard: Enclosed please find a complete set of the drawings relating to the requests on the above property. The first request is for a variance from the frontyard setback requirements of the ordinance. The ordinance Section 4.6 (4b) requires that this house not be built closer to the roadway than the forward most portion of the adjacent house. That distance is 72 feet as shown on the existing data site plan which is included. That provision of the ordinance is modified by 4.6 (4d) which states that the setback required by the above provision shall not be applied so as to require a frontyard in excess of 1/3 of the average depth of the lot. That depth on this lot is 57 feet as shown on the existing data site plan. The request for the frontyard setback is to allow it to be 50 feet rather than the required 57 feet based upon the formula in the ordinance. The reason for this request is that if the home is moved back to the 57 foot mark it will encroach even further upon the rear yard and the required and desirable setbacks there. The second request is for a variance from the floodway ordinance which we have been told requires a setback of 100,feet from the drainage way. We are asking that a variance be granted to allow us to set back 55 feet from the drainage way for the home and 43 feet for the deck. This requested variance is equal to the distance from the drainage way to the home directly across the drainage way as shown on the existing data site plan. The reason for the request for this variance is that if the 100 foot setback were required from the drainage way the house would be extremely close to the street and would be disruptive to the front yard setbacks of the other homes to be built along the street. Page Two The third request is for a reduction in the existing utility easement located on the back of the property as shown on the existing data site plan. We are asking that the drainage and utility easement be reduced to allow a 5 foot spacing from the existing waterline on the north with the remaining easement continuing as presently shown on the existing data site plan. The reason for this request is so that the house can be located where it is without the deck and portions of the house extending into the utility easement. I hope this outlines more clearly the nature of the requests we are presenting. If there are any further questions I would be most happy to address them prior to the meeting or at the public hearing.

The applicant is requesting a variance to both the front yard setback and the rear yard setback to drainageway. He is also requesting a reduction in the width of the utility easement at the rear of the lot. 2. The required setback for the front yard is one-third of the lot (57 feet). The applicant proposes a setback of 50 feet. It would appear that the front yard setback adjustment to 50 feet is reasonable since moving the house farther away from the street would cause it to encroach even more on the rear setback from the drainageway. 3. The required setback to the drainageway at the rear of the lot is 100 feet. The applicant proposes a rear setback from the drainageway of 55 feet for the house and 43 feet for the deck. The proposed setback appears reasonable in view of the larger setback required in the front yard. It is obvious that if all the setbacks were enforced, the lot would have a buildable area only 22 feet deep (at the middle of the lot). 4. The hardship is that the lot is not large enough to meet both the front setback and the drainageway setback. 5. The applicant proposes reducing the utility easement in the back yard from 20 feet to 15 feet. Reduction in' the width of the utility easement is acceptable to the extent that the Public Works Director considers it practical. The width of the easement must be sufficient to maintain the waterline in perpetuity. .

Irving Clark, Tom Boyce, Centex Homes and Dick Putnam were all present at the hearing and all spoke in favor of approving the plat. RECOMMENDATION: Subject to receipt of letters of concurrence from contiguous land- owners, Centex Homes and Irving Clark, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval of the preliminary plat. Commissioner Anderson voted against the proposal because it does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council desires to implement the Planning Commission recommendation they should pass a motion approving the preliminary plat. Should Council desire to deny the request they should do it by resolution. NOTE: Staff feels it would be helpful for Council if they would make an onsite inspection of this site before acting on it. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 20, 1988 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jim Danielson and Paul Berg P.W. Director Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: Case No.'88-27, Patrick, Preliminary Plat DISCUSSION: Mr. Stephen Patrick, 737 Mendota Heights Road, proposes to subdivide his 6.75 acres of land into four single family lots and one outlot. This property was formerly owned by Mr. Pierce Butler. Mr. Patrick has presented this concept to the City Council when he attempted to get permission to move the Glewwe house on to a proposed lot in anticipation of approval of this subdivision. The City Council denied his request because they felt that the Comprehensive Guide Plan indicated this land to be high density residential and single family was not appropriate. Mr. Patrick has relooked at his application and still feels that single family is the only way to logically develop the property while retaining the greatest number of trees (see letter of request). ACTION REQUIRED: Conduct a public hearing and based on input from the audience and Commission comments, make a recommendation to the City Council. JED/PRB:madlr attachment July 5, 1988 Planning Commission City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 Dear Commissioners: Enclosed is an application and preliminary plan for a proposed lot split of my property at 737 Mendota Heights Road. The property is located on the south side of Mendota Heights Road, about 1/4 mile east of Dodd Road. It is surrounded by the Irving Clark property to the west and south, the proposed Centex Homes Development to the east, and*the Mary Anderson project to the north across Mendota Heights Road. ' The property is zoned R-1, single family residential. Although the comprehensive guide plan calls for high denisty residential in this area, we believe the proper use for this land is single family. Any density greater than single family would require that most of the dense oak trees on my property and the adjacent Clark property be removed and that the existing site grading be substantially altered. We don't believe this approach to be in anyones best interest. We appreciate your careful consideration of this matter. Sincerely, Stephen P. Patrick enclosure SPP/ks .~ ^ ~, . 'PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 26 July 1988 88-27 Stephen Patrick South of Mendota Heights Road, East of Dodd Road (aoo sketch) ' Approval of Preliminary Plat l. The Patrick property consists of 6.3 acres and is occupied by a large single-family home. The land has steep terrain and is heavily wooded. The property is designated as high density residential (eight units per acre) on the revised Comprehensive Plan as is the property both to the aouL and vvoot of K4r, Patrick's parcel. 2. The -parcel to the ooaL has been approved for the development of townhouses by the Contex Company. The property to the west is owned by Mr. Irving Clark and is undeveloped. 3. The proposal is to develop Mr. Patrick's band into four bnb4 one of which would be occupied by the existing home and another would be an oudoL, not to be developed at this time. Aocooa to Lots l, 2, and 3 would be via a proposed public cul-de-sac on the west side of Mr. Patrick's property. 4. Mr. Patrick informs us that Irving Clark is also in favor of developing his land ultimately for single-family purposes. However, it appears that there are no plans prepared at this time for the development of Mr. Clark's land. 5. The cul-de-sac, hovvovor, apparently is to be built on a portion of Mr. Clark's property and would serve his property. Therefore, Mr. Clark should be a party to the plat and one of the applicants in this case. It would be very helpful if a preliminary plat for Mr. Clark's land was presented at this time no that the City can evaluate the overall impact of this proposed single-family development in the rnidoL of what is designated a high density residential area. 6. We oco' concerned about the potential compatibility of single-family homes in this area contiguous to o freeway on the south and high density residential to the eouL and the west. It is true that the heavy terrain and tree growth makes it theoretically possible for this mnnaU enclave of single-family homes to exist contiguous to higher density development on both sides. As noted, however, it would be possible to ascertain the appropriateness of the proposed land use and lot division if a design were prepared for both properties involved. Stephen Patrick, Case No. 88-27 ~ � Page 2 7. Apparently the problem here is that the value of the existing single-family honnn is such that it is difficult to redevelop the land that Mr. Patrick owns for multi -family housing on on economic basis. Thus, Mr. Patrick proposes to sell off the three proposed buildable LoLo an a means of cashing out most of the property. 8. You will note that there is o propound lot line revision with respect to Lot 4 on the east side of the property. This proposed division appears to make sense whether the land is a development for single-family purposes or not. Since this property is contiguous to more compatible townhouse development, it would appear that approval of this lot for single-family homes (or perhaps for two homes) may be appropriate as on initial development for this property. 9. Our greater 'concern relates to the development of Lots l and Z which involve the oornnnitrnen[ to the building of a public xLraeL and ultimately the commitment to the Clark land as well. If it is possible to have a more complete solution result at a later point in time involving the Irving Clark and the Opus land to the west, o better solution may be evolved. We have not discussed this development of a portion of the land *with Mr. Patrick. It would appear, however, that the development of one or two single-family homes on Lot 4 may be on interim possibility. MENQOT4 SUBJECT PROPERTY NORTH SCALE 111=400' � � ` . ` � � . ..

Hoene and Barbara D. Hoene brought from me in November of 1987 a lot to the west of my house, being Lot 4 of Block 1, Somerset Park No. 3. In November of 1981 I sold the adjoining lot 3 to.. The.-boW On both of the lots I reserved the east 20 feet of both Lot 4 and Lot 3 which were a part of my lawn. My husband and I decided that we wanted our lawn to extend west 20 feet farther than our lot line. We graded the lot so that the break in the grade came at the 20 foot mark west of the easterly end of the lot. McLagan surveyed the lots and calculated that the remaining part on the lots would be 15,700 square feet. When Hoene went to build, his contractor, Mr. Bjorkland, went to the city hall for a permit and advised that taking 20 feet off of the east end of the lot would leave the lot less than 15,000 square feet. We therefore cut the piece that Mrs. Bartusch was keeping to 17 feet and Hoene installed a sprinkling system which carried 3 feet into what Mrs. Bartusch has always considered her lot line. She therefore got McLagan to re-examine the situation and he came up with the conclusion that by taking 20 feet off the lot there still leaves 15,700 square feet. We therefore contacted Mr. Hoene who moved his sprinkling system back 3 feet and agreed to deed 3 feet back to Mrs. Bartusch. In the process we were advised that it be necessary to get council approval for splitting off 20 feet of the lot. I therefore requested approval to the deeding of 20 feet to the easterly 20 foot lot back to Mrs. Bartusch. Since this whole controversy came about by some error on the part of some city employee, I do not feet that we should pay a filing fee. I paid $150.00 to have the water line moved back and $125.00 for resurveying, plus many hours of time talking to Mr.'Hoene and the company that owns the mortgage on his land. June 23, 1988 Mr. Harold LeVander LeVander, Gillen, Miller, Anderson & Kuntz 402 Drovers Bank Building 633 South Concord Street P.O. Box 298 South St. Paul, MN 55075 Dear Mr. LeVander: After we met on June 22, 1988 concerning the Bartusch lot division, I did some research on whether a lot division had ever been approved by the City for Lot 4, Block 1 Sommerset Park No. 3. I was unable to locate any evidence that it had been approved. Therefore, to clear up the matter appropriately, including the addition of three feet of land you now desire to add, you should complete the subdivision process. The steps to follow are: 1. Make application (the $350 filing fee will not be charged pending Coun- cil consideration of your request that it be waived). 2. Submit 15 copies of the survey showing the subdivision together with a letter explaining why you need the subdivision. 3. If you complete these first two steps before July 13, 1988, you will be placed on the July 26th Planning Commission agenda and the August Zethd. City Council agenda. 4. Provided the subdivision is approved by the City Council you will then be given a copy of a resolution approving the subdivision so that you can file it at Dakota County. We also understand that you feel that when Mr. Hoene's land was developed you were misinformed by City staff members that Mr. Hoene's land needed an additional three feet in order to be developed; his land did not need the 3 feet. You told us that you feel because the City misinformed Mr. Hoene you should not be charged the $350 filing fee. We will mention this in our staff reports to the Planning Commission and City Council and you should request from them that your fee be waived. If you have any further questions please call me at 452-1086. Sincerely, James E. Danielson, P.E. Public Works Director JED: dfw A LAW OFFICE OF ROBERT C.

Box 298 South St. Paul, MN 55075 Attention: Harold LeVander Dear Harold: I received your letter of March 25, 1988, with the enclosed survey and Deed. I immediately spoke with my contractor regarding the moving of the sprinkler heads and pipe to a location outside of the three foctstrip, where they would clearly be on my own property. J. B. Irrigation has now been out to my house in April 9, 1988, and has done the work that they had previously estimated would cost approximately $150.00 and have now provided me with the bill dated April 9, 1988, in.the sum of $150.00. 1 enclose a copy of the bill from John Brotherton for you. I have also spoken with Paul McGinley regarding the survey and he indicated to me that it will be necessary to go back out to our house to locate the house on the lot so that it shows up on the survey drawing. lie indicated that this would undoubtedly be required by the City of Mendota Heights with regard to our request for a minor subdivision. In that regard, Mr. McGinley was helpful in making contact with Jim Danielson at the Mendota Heights City Hall at his phone number 452-1086. Mr. Danielson explained to Paul McGinley and later to me that it is necessary, before the Deed will be allowed to be recorded, for us to obtain a minor subdivision approval of the City of Mendota Heights. I asked him if there were any exceptions for such a small amount of property as we are dealing with here, and he indicated that he did not know of any. I then requested that he send me a copy of the application for a simple lot split. I enclose at this time a copy of a letter that I received, dated April 12, 1988, from Mary Ann DeLaRo'sa, Deputy City Clerk, which explains what must be done to obtain approval for what we intended, that is the transfer of the three foot strip to Harold LeVander April 18, 1988 Page - 2 - Mrs. Bartusch from us. Frankly, this is a lot more hassle than any' of us imagined. I didn't expect that we would have to do a minor subdivision nor appear at a Planning Commission and a Council Meeting before we could do the Deed transfer and a closing. In light of the fact that Mrs. Bartusch would like to obtain the title to this property as soon as possible, I would think she would be in favor of going ahead with the application to the City of Mendota Heights. Once you have had a chance to review the foregoing documents, will you please give me a call and let me know how she wants to proceed. I do not feel that there is any reason for us to have any costs whatsoever associated with the transfer, since this is all being done to accommodate, her. Do you want to authorize Paul McGinley to assist in getting this matter cleared through the City? I am sure that he is familiar with the people at city hall and could facilitate matters.

Box 298 South St. Paul, Minnesota 55075 Dear Harold: As you know, we have been trying to get the City of Mendota Heights to informally go along with an approval of the minor subdivision of our lot without the necessity of a filing fee of $350.00 and the appearance before the Planning Commission and City Council. I have spoken with Kathy Swanson in the City Offices (whose telephone number is 452-1850) and she indicates that the original split of the property was not approved by the City in the first place. I believe you are aware that the property belonging to Mrs. Bartusch is subject to a separate plat, Somerset Park No. 2, from our plat, Somerset Park No. 3. Kathy Swanson indicated that we could meet with the City Planner, Howard Dahlgren, and attempt to convince him to go along with the proposal we made, but that she was sure we would not be able to transfer title by a deed that would be accepted for recording by the Dakota County Recorder's Office without prior authorization from the City of Mendota Heights. Based upon her suggestion, I set up a meeting with the Planner and did in fact meet with Howard Dahlgren on Tuesday, May 24, 1988 at the Mendota Heights City Hall and spent about one-half hour with him. Also present was Paul Berg and Jim Danielson. After explaining the situation to them and requesting their cooperation in approving the deed transferring the three feet, I was informed that they would not go along with an approval without following the normal procedure, which requires the filing of the application along with the filing fee and scheduling a hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council to explain it. I informed them that I did not intend to follow through with that procedure, as I do not feel I can devote any additional time to this matter. It seems to me that it is in Mrs. Bartusch's interest to have you file the application and make the necessary appearances to get this matter completed before we can transfer a deed to her which will in fact be recordable. Mr. Harold LeVander May 26, 1988 Page Two Furthermore, as you know, Fritz Kueppers, the attorney for the Catholic Aid Association, our mortgagee, has indicated that he will only release the mortgage on the property in the event that the deed is recordable. I don't want to be left with a problem later on with regard to a release of the mortgage, recordability of the deed or any other title problems simply because I am now trying to accommodate Mrs. Bartusch by returning to her, three feet of the property. Therefore, I must suggest that the proper procedure be followed at this time in accordance with the City requirements. I have tried to be cooperative and have had our sprinkler system moved out of the three foot strip of property to avoid conflict with Mrs. Bartusch. I notice that she has already had her sprinkler heads moved to within a short distance of the 20 foot boundary line. I also notice that her lawn mowing crew is still encroaching on our property and I would request that you ask that she have her mowing crew stay within the property boundary so as not to cause possible damage to my sprinkler system on my own lawn. When the approval has been received from the City for the recording of the deed, would you please let me know and we will then arrange to transfer the -deed to you, along with a release of the mortgage on the same property. I look forward to hearing from you. Very truly yours, Robert C. Hoene RCH:se of Antrbep PAUL R. McLAGAN & SON 233 Dakota Amiucwts ns I-.

Apparently when the lot split occurred creating the property line between Florence Bartusch's property and that of her neighbor to the west, Dr. Robert and Barbara D. Hoene, there was a misunderstanding and/or an error in locating this line. Therefore, a problem with respect a to the disposition of 3 feet of land evolved. 2. If you will read the accompanying correspondence from Dr. Hoene and Jim Danielson, Director of Public Works, you will gain an understanding of the issue. f 3. It seems that the appropriate procedure for resolving this minor dispute is for the City to approve a lot line change, moving the apparent lot line a distance of 3 feet to the west into what appears to be Dr. Hoene's property. 4. The proposed change in the rear lot line would leave Dr. Hoene's lot with 15,704 square feet in accordance with Mr. McGinley's survey. There is no impact on other properties in the area, and it would appear the waiving of certain requirements may be appropriate. / LER TRA�� • • o U • • KNO��. _ 1 MENDOTA HEIGHTS • _ PAR 3 GOLF COURSE PUBLIC) rl BACHELOR AVENUE • . to t • 1 • .� kC U.

The property is bounded by a creek line that flows northwesterly into the Valley Park area of the City. Thus, the rear property line and the westerly side property lines are very near to, or on the center line of the creek. The Wetlands Ordinance calls for buildings to be setback 100 feet from the center .line of this drainage way. Obviously, when the land was platted (or replatted) it was recognized as impractical to build a home maintaining the 100 foot setback on the south and west of any proposed structure. A 40 foot setback was established for the plat because of the larger setback established for the residences to the east. The applicant now proposes to build a house for the owner of the lot (John Spangers). The front of the house 'would be setback 40 feet from the south line of Marie Avenue, and the rear of the house would be setback 54 feet from the creek (to the southwest) and 59 feet to the south. You will note from looking at the accompanying site plan that the house is moved well to the east side of the lot, though in fact it could be moved 10 feet further to the east from that which is shown. However, it would appear that the home placement is such that it represents a reasonable balance between the side lot line to the east of 20 feet and the side lot line to the west, which at the building line is about 97 feet (from the portico) and about 70 feet from the northwest corner of the main house. The action requested is for approval of a wetlands permit with a variance to the required 100 foot setback to a distance of 54 feet and 59 feet as indicated on the attached site plan. • • ING �'NSUBJECT PROPERTY • NORTH SCALE 111=400' _ • \ e • C MA l CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS i MEMO i July 27, 1988 t �/ TO: Mayor, City Council and City�/Atrator FROM: James E.

Howard felt that the variances were appropriate, and in order to avoid making the Rubins have to wait until September for consideration, he had Mary Ann put them on the July Planning Commission meeting as a hand out item. Howard presented an oral report to the Planning Commission supporting the Rubin's request. The Rubin's sub- mitted signed concurrences from all their neighbors at the Planning Commission meeting.

Eckles Civil Engineer SUBJECT: Sewers, Water, Streets Feasibility Report Copperfield IV Job No. 8808 Improvement No. 88, Project No. 2 INTRODUCTION: Copperfield Associates has submitted a development concept and plat called Copperfield IV. The 17 lot plat is on the old Weed property off of Delaware Avenue. Since it is very desirable to complete the underground construction this year, so that the ground can settle before finalizing the street, staff has completed the feasibility report in conjunction with the plans and specifications. The following is a brief discussion of the costs of construction and the proposed assessments for this project. DISCUSSION: Sewers, water, streets and sidewalks will be extended from the Copperfield I and II Additions to serve this development. The approximate cost of constructing each utility, including engineering, overhead and contingencies is as follows: Utility Cost Sanitary Sewer $46,000 Watermain 50,800 Storm Sewer 43,400 Street 51,400 Walks 8,900 TOTAL $200v500 It is proposed that 100 percent of the project costs will be assessed to the 17 lots in the new development. Therefore, total per lot assessment is estimated to be $11,795• RECOMMENDATION: This project is feasible, desirable and should be completed, with the costs assessed to the 17 lots in Copperfield IV. Staff recommends Council accept the feasibility report and order improvements and plans and specifi- cation preparation.

Swanson, 1720 Delaware Avenue, West St. Paul, Minnesota Gentlemen: We are the record owner of the North 299.48 feet of the West 300.00 feet of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 19, Township 28, Range 22. We are interested in connecting up to city water and have visited about the matter with Tom Johnson of the St. Paul water department, as well as one of your personnel. We have been on city sewer since the sewer was installed some 23 years ago. At the time we built and moved into our house in February of 1966 water was not then available in the street and accordingly, we have been using a well. We would now like to connect up to city water even though the well is working properly. In November of 1986 our neighbor Mr. John Boller, 1732 Delaware Avenue, whose property adjoins ours to the east, connected up to the water main and paid the City of Mendota Heights a water main assessment for 100 feet of frontage. Mr. Boller has no frontage on Delaware but is entitled to use a 10 foot utility easement along the south edge of our property. Both the sewer and water •service lines which serve Mr. Boller's property are located in that utility easement. He also has access to his property through our service road that runs along the south edge of our property. I was advised by the gentlemen with whom I spoke that your office has a policy of deferring water main assessments on larger parcels of land where it appears that the property could be used for the construction of additional home sites. To assist you in reviewing this matter I am enclosing a plat plan showing the layout of our property and the location of our home on the property, as well as the access road and the 10 foot utility easement that I spoke about. The property is large enough to ommodate two additional home sites on the north 140 feet of -*ir property. Access could be gained along the north edge of the property and the lots would be approximately 140 wide by Engineering Department City of Mendota Heights Attn: City Engineer July 25, 1988 Page 2 150 deep, one behind the other. In light of the fact that Mr. Boller paid for 100 feet of frontage and that there is at least 100 feet of frontage which could be used for additional residences, it would seem appropriate that we* also should pay a water main assessment for no more than the minimum 100 feet of frontage. We'd like to hook up to the water in September and accordingly would appreciate your early attention to this matter. If there is anything further which we can do to assist you please let me know. I Thank you for your cooperation and assistance. Very truly yours, -1Et Burt E. Swanson BES/jhn Enc. A.16 ar CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 29, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. City Administrator SUBJECT: Time Extension Addendum to Kensington PUD Developer's Agreement On December 21, 1987, the Council approved a developer's agreement for the Kensington Planned Unit Development project in southeast Mendota Heights. The approved plan was referred to as "Plan B", and contemplated the construction of 500 multi -family residential units. The agreement gave the City the option of purchasing 35 acres of community park property for a specified sum of 750,000, contingent on passage of a bond referendum. As we all know, the May 3 referendum failed at the polls. The agreement reserved to the City the unilateral right to cancel the approval of Plan B, upon passage of a resolution expressing an intent to amend the Comprehensive Plan and process planning applications to consider the alternative Plan A. Plan A is for construction of 540 multi- family units, and includes the dedication of a 10 acre neighborhood park. The developers have now proposed yet a third alternative, in the belief that it will help the City in meeting its parks objectives. Copies of that plan were sent to Council with the informal Friday afternoon packets last week. The Parks Subcommittee, consisting of Liz Witt, Jann Blesener, John Huber and Bev Lachenmayer, has reviewed the plan and given it a tentative endorsement. The plan has also been reviewed with the Planning Commission, which also generally liked what they saw. The developers will be before the Parks Commission next Tuesday, August 9, to solicit their input. If all continues to go well in the informal meetings, Centex will be putting this alternative forward as a formal planning application in about a month. The existing developer's agreement indicates that the City must express its intent to go back to the Plan A alternative no later than August 31, 1988. Obviously, it is not going to be realistic to comply with this timeline, yet have adequate time to reasonably consider the new alternative being proposed. City Attorney Tom Hart has drafted the attached Extension Addendum to that agreement, which would extend that deadline date to December 31, 1988. The proposed addendum has been forwarded to Centex attorney Ted Meyer, but at this point we have not received any response. Staff hoes to know by Tuesday evening whether this addendum language is acceptable to Centex. ACTION REQUIRED: If Centex is willing to enter this extension and the Council determines that it would be in the best interest to allow the opportunity to consider alternative, it should pass a motion approving the PUD Developer's Agreement Extension Agreement.

During the past year, I have had numerous opportunities to interact with Dona, and to review her work.

KDF:madlr attachment G Mendota Heights Police Department MEMORANDUM July 26, 1988 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Chief of Police Nil, M MeW.T.T.T.3"i wilt—TTRWOUTISM—M— or. — 0 .00IL4q Officer Dona Currie was appointed to the Police Department, on a probationary basis, on August 3, 1987. The one year probation period expires on August 3, 1988. During this period, Officer Currie has performed admirably. She has quickly become one of our most productive and effective officers, working very well within the Department and the Community. In several cases, she has demonstrated a degree of skill and knowledge beyond her years of experience. I strongly recommend that the City Council appoint Dona Currie to the permanent position of Police officer effective August 3, 1988. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 25, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D.z 1 ity Administrator SUBJECT: Renaming of Street for City Hall You will all recall that the current address of the new city hall is 1101 Highway 110. Many months ago, the Council indicated that it would like to have a nicer name for the city hall street, so it's time to get on with the job. If we rename the street all the way from Lexington Avenue west to where it turns north into Glenhill Road, there will be a number of other property owners affected, including: Alice Boland, 1215 Highway 110 Roger Jenni, 1203 Highway 110 James Karv, 1193 Highway 110 Leonard/Alice Garrity, 1181 Highway 110 Beth Jacob Synagogue, 1179 Highway 110 Hazel V. Treat, 1219 Highway 110 Obviously, we should invite these people to come in and be a part of the discussion about the renaming of the street. Council should either put forth its best efforts to come up with its own name, or design some gimmick to get others to name the street (Robyn Huspek has indicated that she is definitely not interested in the assignment). One unnamed party, who feels that the Council was unnecessarily castigated in the July 22 Friday News, has offered the following suggestions as evidence that creativity still resides in that august body: Pussywillow Drive Cattail Lane Bridgeview Drive Nature View Road ACTION REQUIRED: To come up with potential new names for the street, and invite affected property owners to attend a future Council meeting to discuss the matter. KDF:madlr CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO JULY 27, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D.~ City Administrator SUBJECT: R quest for Meeting with Fire Chief John Maczko You will recall that Fire Chief John Maczko has asked for an informational meeting with the City Council.

A second alternative would be to meet on Tuesday, August 23. The regular Council review of the City Administrator's proposed budget is scheduled for Tuesday, August 30. It would be vood to have this special meeting with John prior to that meeting. ACTION REQUIRED: To select a date and time for this special meeting with the Fire Chief.
