Additional information is submitted for three existing items. 3. Agenda Adoption It is recommended that Council adopt the revised agenda printed on blue paper and attached hereto. 7.a. Petition for Analysis of Traffic Control Signs in the Copperfield Neighborhood Attached is a copy of a petition which was received in the City Offices today. The petition requests that the City conduct a study of the need for "Stop" and other traffic control signs in the Copperfield neighborhood. 9.b. 1989 Budget Hearing Attached is a letter from Mr. Michael J. Shannon of the Minnesota Valley Humane Society requesting to make a presentation at the budget hearing. Mr. Shannon has been advised (via telephone answering machine) that this evening is the budget hearing. 10.b. 110 Lexington Commercial Market Study Attached is the letter from the Maxfield Research Group, concerning their proposal for the market study. I have clarified with Mr. Maxfield that they would not simply be looking at a convenience store and service station as an anchor use, but would be making recommendations for various potential anchor tenants. 10.c. Pabst Street Vacation _. ' Attached is the planning report prepared by Howard Dahlgren. Howard's report indicates that it would be appropriate to abandon the street right-of-way as requested. 10.a. City Hall Entrance Sian Council will recall that the front entrance sign was deleted from the original City Hall contract. Our architects have drawn up the attached proposal as a replacement. Council should review the sketch, giving any directives it deems appropriate. 10.h. Offer of Presentation Concerning MSP Adequacy Task Force Report Attached is a letter from Jo Nunn, Chair of the Metropolitan Council's MSP Adequacy Task Force (on which Councilmember Buzz Cummins serves), offering to arrange for Council officials to make a presentation to the Council. Council should determine whether it wishes to have the presentation. 13.a. Contract Negotiations with Public Works Bargaining Unit Staff has reached a tentative agreement with the Public Works bargaining unit for a 1989 contract settlement.- It is recommended that Council convene a closed session, as allowed under the Open Meeting Law, to discuss this issue with staff. A copy of the proposed settlement is attached for Council only. 13.b. Discussion of Potential Property Acquisition in T.H. 55 Area Attached for Council only, is a copy of the first letter we have received from a resident in the T.H. 55 area, requesting to commence discussions with the City concerning acquisition of their residential property. Staff needs to get some direction from Council as to the parameters under which the City would be willing to purchase the properties. As property appraisal information is classified as private data under the Data Practices Act, it would seem prudent that we also discuss this issue in closed session. The data becomes public at the time we begin to actively pursue the transaction.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, Mihael J. Shannon 13313 Lakeview Drive Burnsville, MN 55337 LI INCORPORATED CONSULTING PLANNERS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS 300 FIRST AVENUE NORTH SUITE 210 MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401 612.339.3300 MEMORANDUM DATE: 20 September 1988 TO: Mendota Heights City Council FROM: Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Inc. RE: Vacation of Street Easement The street easement in question was established as a condition to the development of the Pabst Meat Processing Plant when it was originally constructed (now the Lloyd's Meat Packing Plant). The design concept of the layout for the industrial area was to extend Northland Drive north and then east to Pilot Knob Road. This concept would complete portions of a street loop system tying in with the industrial park plat already on file by United Properties. This concept was abandoned when the City approved Ralph Linville's development across the right-of-way needed for the extension of the loop system west of Pilot Knob Road. Attached is a copy of the report. dated July 12, 1984 addressing the concerns and options for the street system serving the "Pabst Properties". You will note that Plan B envisions a pair of cul-de-sacs, one of which would be Perron Road (on the north side) and the other is the extension of the 60 foot easement in question. The latter cul-de-sac off of Mendota Heights Road would have been desirable if there were separate lots to be served north of Lloyd's Meat Packing Plan and/or west of Gopher Stamp and Die Company. The recent plat submitted by the Pabst people provides for the development of this area of their property by adding Outlots A and B to the properties to the south and east. - Thus, there is no need for the extension of a public cul-de-sac to the inte.cior of the Pabst property. Attached is a copy of our report relating to the subdivision. In paragraph six, you will note discussion of the 60 foot right-of-way in question. Under the circumstances that now exist, there is no apparent need for the 60 foot right-of-way as originally proposed and as shown on the attached sketch with the cross hatched area labeled "Subject Property". Vacation of Street Easement Page 2 The one circumstance where this right-of-way might be needed would be if Outlot A (being added to the Lloyd's Meat Plant site) were to be sold and developed as a separate parcel in the future, then a public cul-de-sac at this location may be needed. If that occurs, however, the owner of the entire site could be required to dedicate the cul-de-sac at that time. Under that scenario, the solution lies within the total parcel. Therefore, it would appear appropriate for the City to release the easement at this time. MEMORANDUM DATE: 12 July 1984 TO: City Council, City of Mendota Heights ATTN: Kevin Frazell, City Administrator FROM: Howard Dahlgren RE: Industrial Park Street Extension 1. Attached is a copy of a map labeled Plan A which illustrates the street pattern that has been envisaged for the ultimate development of Mendota Heights prime industrial area in the vicinity of Pilot Knob Road and Mendota Heights Road. You are all familiar with the city's efforts in the past to create a ring street system around this intersection. This system has now been completed in three of the quadrants. The ring street system was platted by United Properties in the northeast and southeast quadrants. The pattern in the southwest quadrant (access to Cray Research and others) was carefully and laboriously put together with several landowners over a period of time. 2. We suggest that the validity of lining up Northland Drive as it crosses Pilot Knob Road is demonstrated by recent successful development in three of the quadrants of that intersection. As you know, a hotel is planned for the fourth quadrant (southeast quadrant), owned by United properties. 3. The problem we face today is that an applicant proposes to construct a building on the parcel we have labeled 111" on the drawing. If this building is constructed it will be impossible to complete the ring street system with the continuity as originally planned. The routing of the ring street system in the northwest quadrant has been discussed in the past with some owners of property affected at various public hearings involving improvement and development in this portion of the City. 4. Attached are alternate street arrangements, each of which may be varied to a degree depending upon ultimate lot size and type of development proposed. Plan B indicates providing access by the utilization of an existing 33 foot right-of-way we have dedicated for Perron Road. Originally, this road was planned to cross Highway 13, many years ago when the right-of-way for 13 was acquired. Current plans for Trunk Highway 13, however, call for the closing of Perron Road (no crossing with Highway 13). To the north of the Perron Road right-of-way is a drainage area. Thus, the development of this cul-de-sac may well serve only one lot (Parcel 2). MEMORANDUM RE: Industrial Park Street Extension Page 2 Normally the development of industrial parcels on cul-de-sacs is avoided. People prefer to build their structures where they are visible and accessible from highways and roadways that extend from one roadway to another. If Plan B is utilized, the development of Parcel 3 (Pabst Meat Supply Company land) could be handled by the extension of another cul-de-sac north from Mendota Heights Road. Again, we have the disadvantage of industrial properties developed contiguous to a cul-de-sac. also this cul-de-sac should not extend more than 500 feet in accordance with City regulations. 5. Plan C indicates an optional plan which in effect connects the cul-de-sacs proposed in Plan B. The problem with this plan is that it divides Parcel 2, and results in 280 feet of additional roadway construction compared with Plan A. Plan C also creates a relatively small parcel on the west side of the land labeled Parcel 2. It should be borne in mind that when Trunk Highway 3 is rerouted on the new right-of-way, those parcels contiguous to that right-of-way will have considerable value because of their visual exposure to the highway. Trunk Highway 13 will be bridged over the railroad tracks, thus the highway will be highly' relevant to the land°producing excellent visibility. 6. We suggest that clearly, the best plan for the development of the land is Plan A, as originally conceived. The problem with Plan A is that the structure now proposed cannot be built, and if the roadway is extended westerly from its present alignment with Transport Drive, the south end of Parcel 1 will be cut off from the northerly area resulting in a lot approximately 100 feet (north -south) by slightly over 300 feet 'east -west). This parcel could be made slightly larger by orienting the roadway slightly further north so as to be contiguous to the south line of Parcel 2. 7. Obviously, if the roadway were to be constructed now (the east -west portion from Pilot Knob toward Trunk Highway 13) a development similar to that proposed by the applicant could occur by combining the remainder of Parcel 1 and Parcel 2. In this instance, Perron Road (as the right-of-way exists) could be vacated. Under this scenario, the City would likely have to purchase the remainder of Parcel 1, south of the new roadway. Ultimately, this could either be added to the Gopher Stamp Company,s property to the south, or sold to a separate user desiring a small site. 8. The staff is having a meeting with the applicant on Tuesday, 17 July prior to the Council meeting. They may or may not have alternative proposals for consideration. They may MEMORANDUM RE: Industrial Park Street Extensions simply demand a experience that such a permit f( while the City whether to pure of a particular Page 3 building permit immediately. It has been our it is reasonable for a City Council to delay )r a period up to approximately six (6) months prepares feasibility studies and determines hase a right-of-way impacted by the issuance building permit. 9. Wherever the roads are constructed to serve this quadrant, and obviously some will be necessary, they will be there for a very long time. We suggest that it is in the City,s interest and that of the land owners as a whole to develop the road pattern that works best from standpoint, and utilizes the best potential of the land for the long range, including the ultimate realignment of Trunk Highway 13. h 's iNe: / f�.sri7GtJat+3d?3IItist i'Ms:73.'.Lf."t•dk�+7.XYY`.3.kih'. fi :.6z:, fj���, LwYC�e7�esx""'!r'!'�"••ia'Si79t„�,'"wHi%tC'�3"r�c'LiCs"+HC1�aYS:..:F�'� r�k'ii"� rxt»rn .bitr.�trr"tiritaw y`} tyy ye r�ru+�ar�<} f�",i"�f��4 � wnn�rnw••' ` �1111�►���1 .■■r�iii� �� . t i ws Aw . ���1��■s��x�� {� t=�,�'fir■■E��n'�4�`;��.�'��'���`'�'. _.:�,�; i}, ►+wttrae�a`;ir�`�.q+M'b7F.�S'Ak7Pxx.",t.7Af?N'k"'Y7w'F�� I �d•'sd}�FsQt+::;f.SLK:...+/.�`a� t��,.+�,w yr1K.�.,rt•'r � `, y �i�i�.,♦�'7xfdlhP7!fs'fKTiH♦ n' t iNY'#..�oyXµ'C.YVr'.S,�ti7b.i"� , t....• � ' �.� tftC'l'�wJ.�rr:'J^t�...

Pabst Between Mendota Heights Road and Perron Road, East of New State Trunk Highway 13 (see sketch) Approval of Preliminary Plat 1. Attached is a copy of a portion of the base map for the City of Mendota Heights showing the lots, street alignments, and existing buildings in the area of the Pabst property. You will note that Northland Drive and Enterprise Drive form three-quarters of a circumferential route that, if extended, would go through the Pabst property in the northwest quadrant (of Mendota Heights Road and Pilot Knob Road). 2. A 60 foot right-of-way easterly of the Pabst building exists for this purpose. However, the roadway extending westerly of Pilot Knob Road would have had to go through the property owned by Ralph Linville (at the southwest corner of Perron Road and Pilot Knob Road). As most of you know, this roadway was not extended and several years ago Mr. Linville built an office/warehouse building across this future right-of-way. Therefore, the concept of completing this circumferential route has been abandoned. Mr. Pabst now proposes to divide the 11.29 acres of undeveloped land into three parcels. They are indicated on the attached plat as Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlots A and B, Block 1. Outlots A and B are so designated because they are not developable parcels, but are to be added to contiguous properties. 3. Two drawings were submitted by the applicant. One is a preliminary plat prepared by Paul McLagan & Son and the second drawing is a copy of a portion of the section map indicating the properties in question. You will note that Outlots A and B have been transposed on the section map drawing (Lot A is indicated as B and vice versa). - In any case, it is obvious from the statement and the application that Outlot B (as shown on the McLagan Survey) consisting of 2.68 acres is to be added to the Foto Mark property to the east, Outlot A consisting of 3.08 acres is to be added to the Stuart Lloyd Company property, and Lot 1 consisting of 5.27 acres will be "retained by Pabst Properties for future development". In summary, the 11.29 acres is distributed in a fashion that does not require the dedication of additional right-of-way. Timothy J. Pabst, Case No. 88-17 G. Though our copy of the application does not indicate so in writing, we understand through discussions with the Public Works Director, Jim Danielson, that the applicants request, the vacation of the GO foot easement granted to the City for public rood purposes on the east side of the existing Pabst building. This 60 feat of right-of-way was reserved by the City many years ago when the original development occurred and represents the easterly 60 feet of the original parcel. It would appear that the concept of extending the roadway to the north and easterly to Pilot Knob Road has been abandoned, therefore, the use of this 60 foot right-of-way for public purposes is no longer necessary. 7. It should be noted that Lot l as now proposed will have frontage on Perron Rood. You will note an indication for a 40 foot strip of right-of-way along the north side of this property. The preliminary rdot does not indicate this specifically as a proposed public right-of-vvay, but the acceptance of this roadway for public right-of-way purposes should be a condition of the approval of the preliminary plat. You will also note the existence of a "future cul-de-sac per M.O.O.T.". It is true that as a part of the realignment of Trunk Highway 13, Mn[)OT proposes to construct the cul-de-sac as indicated on the drawing. S. It in perhaps unfortunate that the circumferential roadway could not have been completed mince we feel this would have created desirable sites for new industries. This roadway pattern would also have been an efficient means of providing vehicular movement within Mendota Height's Industrial Park. Let us hope, however, that the division as proposed will result in meaningful expansions on the part of the industries to which th& parcels are being added and that Lot l will ultimately be the site of an attractive addition to the industrial and business potential in this area of the City. • SUB E��------� ��-�- - CY PROPERTY I SCA TH �► MOV TpQ �-E 7,,_4001 HEIGG 1 1 / �� NORTHLAN Lindberg Pierce, Inc.

Plaza Dr. Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Mayor Mertensetto: I'm writing to let you know that later this year, as the Metropolitan Council considers the future of Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport, Council Chair Steve Keefe and Council members would like an opportunity to speak with officials of the City of Mendota Heights about the results of the Council's MSP Airport Adequacy Task Force Study. In mid-October, the task force, which I chair, will complete its year-long study of whether the airport is adequate for the long-term future. We will turn the report over to the Council --and the community --and the Council will make its recommendation on the question. As you know, Carl Cummins III has been an active member of our task force representing the City of Mendota Heights. Following completion of the task force report, if you would like a Council member or staff person to brief officials of the City of Mendota Heights in conjunction with Mr. Cummins, we would be happy to do so. Right now we don't know what the task force's recommendations will be, nor what the Council will think about those recommendations. The Council could conclude that MSP is not adequate to meet the forecasted demand for travel 30 years from now, and therefore a new airport would eventually need to be built. Consult- ants to the task force have already concluded there's a high probability that there won't be enough capacity at MSP 30 years down the road. On the other hand, the Council could come down on the side of trying to make MSP work over the long term. This option might involve expanding MSP to handle some growth and doing what can be done there to reduce noise. Such a course would probably involve some economic consequences for the region. Mayor Mertensetto September 14, 1988 Page 2 Finally, the Council could suggest that a site selection process begin for a new airport, with land at the site being banked for future use as an airport if travel demand continues to increase, as forecasted. In early November, Council members will be conducting informational meetings in their districts and, later that month, the Council's Metro Systems Committee will hold two public meetings to receive comments on the task force report. The period between mid-October and mid-December seems an appropriate time for Council members to speak to various groups that are interested in the study. The adequacy of MSP and its future is one of the most important public policy issues facing this region and the state. If you would like to arrange for a member of the Council to speak to representatives of the City of Mendota Heights on the issue between Oct. 17 and Dec. 14, please call Guy Peterson of the Community Outreach staff at 291-6527. Thank you. Sincerely, D -?� 4.,4� Josephine Nunn Council Member, District 9 Chair, MSP Airport Adequacy Study Task Force cc: Carl Cummins III September 8, 1988 Mr. Kevin Frazell City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Kevin: I request the City of Mendota Heights to actively pursue the acquisition of my property located at 1199 Rogers Road. For the most part, I concur with the appraised value as reasonable and fair, but with considerations made to the following: 1) Restoral of the 107 reduction in value due to air traffic noise. It was my understanding the property was to be appraised; air traffic not considered. A 107 reduction in the economic obsolescence factor of the appraisal was attributed to air traffic noise. 2) A monetary supplement to cover moving expenses or a six month free rent option to commence at purchase date. 3) The right to remove young trees from the property for transplanting purposes. 4) If property is to be destroyed, an allowance to remove articles, attached or otherwise from the property. (i.e. furnace, central air conditioning, decking, etc.) A timely response to this request would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Galen Funk /ms PROPOSAL FOR 1989 CONTRACT BETWEEN CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS AND PUBLIC WORKS BARGAINING UNIT 1. All wage rates to be increased by 3.5%. 2. The employer's maximum insurance contribution per employee to be set at $205, up from $185 this year. 3. The annual clothing allowance in ARTICLE XXIII to be increased to $150, from $140 this year. 4. The employer is willing to reopen the date for a limited period for employees who may wish to exercise an option to participate in the Personal Leave/Extended Disability Protection program. 5. Under ARTICLE II - RECOGNITION, number existing language as Section 2.1, and add a new Section 2.2 to read as follows: In the event the EMPLOYER and the UNION are unable to agree as to the inclusion or exclusion of a new or modified job class, the issue shall be submitted to the State of Minnesota Bureau of Mediation Services for determination. DISCUSSION The wage and insurance contribution provisions are consistent with the contract already settled with the police bargaining unit, and as provided for in the recommended 1989 budget. They are also consistent with settlements being reached in other Twin Cities suburbs. The clothing allowance is a modest increase, given in response to a request of $200 per year. Reopening the Personal Leave option (as the non -organized employees have) is a response to the request for more holidays, vacation time, severance pay, etc. Inclusion of job classes is potentially of advantage to both the City and the Union. Labor Relations Associates indicates that it is standard language acceptable to employers. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA '-AGENDA - SEPTEMBER 20.- 1988 P.M. 1. Call to order, 2.

Mayor Mertensotto called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. The -following members were present: Mayor Mertensotto, Councilmembers Blesener, Hartmann, and Witt. -Councilmember Cummins arrived at 7:15 P.M. AGENDA The agenda was adopted as recommended. ADOPTION COUNCIL INTERVIEW Mr. Bernard Friel, 750 Mohican Lane, OF PLANNING i indicated that he had been involved n COMMISSION over 30 years of legal counsel to APPLICANT FRIEL municipal government in numerous capacities, particularly bond work. He also recited his other civic group associations and accomplishments, and made note of the fact that he had served on the Independent School District 197 School Board from 1967 to 1969. It was noted that Mr. Friel has been a resident of the community since 1957. Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Friel why he would like to serve on the Planning Commission. Mr. Friel noted that he had been involved in numerous City planning issues, usually in an adversarial role to something the Planning Commission and Council were doing. He indicated he would like to be involved in City planning in other than an adversarial role. Councilmember Cummins indicated that he felt Mr. Friel was particularly well informed on issues and could be very formidable in pressing his point. He questioned Mr. Friel as to whether he felt he could be a "teamplayer" on the Planning Commission, and not overwhelm the other members. Mr. Friel responded that he had much experience working with other bodies, and that while he holds tenaciously to his point of view, he is willing to live with the concensus of opinion that comes out of the democratic process. Page 2 August 30, 1988 City Administrator Frazell noted that if Mr. Friel is appointed to the Planning Commission, the City will lose,his services as its representative to the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council, since the two bodies meet at exactly the same time. Mr. Friel responded that he had become frustrated working on the MASAC, and would be happy to give up that seat for a position on the Planning Commission. BARTON-ASCHMAN City Administrator Frazell indicated that PARK PLANNING at the last regular City Council meeting, STUDY the Council had directed him to pursue terminating the contracts with Barton- Aschman for the park landscaping project and the schematic development of the three new neighborhood parks. Mr. Frazell said that following that Council meeting, he had contacted Parks Commission Chair Jim Stein, who did not feel nearly as negatively about the work that had been done by Barton-Aschman as did some members of the Council. Mr. Frazell said that he, Stein, and Councilmember Jann Blesener had had lunch the previous week to discuss the status of the park planning studies and satisfaction with the work being done. It was the concensus of those three that the landscaping project ought to be terminated, since no one seemed to have very clear objectives as to what was to be accomplished. However, the schematic plans for the three neighborhood parks seemed to be proceeding relatively well, and the work by Barton-Aschman was over 60% complete. Mr. Frazell indicated that he thought it would be a waste of money to terminate that project at this point, and recommended that we continue. He said he would present this to the Parks Commission at their September meeting, and would have a final report and recommendation back to the City Council at its September 20 meeting. PROPOSED 1989 City Administrator Frazell and Treasurer BUDGET REVIEW Shaughnessy offered some introductory comments about the increase in the budget, the tax implications to the average Mendota Heights homeowner, etc. Frazell made note of the fact that the budget proposed the addition of three full-time Page 3 August 30, 1988 personnel which he realized was considerable. However, he said that with the growing community, the current City staff was becoming hard pressed to respond to all of the demands and needs, and it had become apparent that the departments were going to have to expand somewhat in size. There was also general discussion about the budget impact of occupying the new city hall. Councilmember Blesener indicated that people asked her why there has to be a tax increase, when it is obvious that the City's tax base is growing so rapidly with all the new development. There was a rather lengthy discussion about the implications of the new State property tax bill, which does not provide much additional local government aid for communities like Mendota Heights. City Administrator Frazell also pointed out that while the proposed budget would result in an average tax increase of around 7% in real dollars for most Mendota Heights homeowners, there was actually a decrease in the mill rate. He added that many people got very sizeable increases in their assessor's market value this past Spring, and were probably fearful that they were going to see tax increases of a similar size. He indicated that in fact because the City is dropping the mill rate, people will not experience that large of a tax increase. Councilmember Blesener said she felt it was important that the City have a simple, concise explanation of the tax increase issue, and asked staff to work on that as a part of presenting the 1989 budget to the public. Treasurer Shaughnessy reviewed the proposed revenues and answered Council questions, particularly relative to contracts with Mendota and Lilydale for police and fire service. Staff was directed to review the formulas to be sure that the City is being adequately compensated. Administrator Frazell and City Clerk Swanson reviewed the Administration budget Page 4 August 30, 1988 proposal. Councilmembers Blesener and Cummins felt that the proposed compensation for the Administrative Assistant position was too high. Councilmember Cummins asked that Council be given further justification for the salary: Councilmember Blesener felt that the compensation should be tarVeted in the $25,000 to $30,000 range. Administrator Frazell stated that he would contact other communities and report to Council on the results of his survey. There was some discussion over the need for allocating 75% of the secretary's time for utility fund purposes. Council was also informed that purchase of the proposed copier will be delayed as long as possible. Assistant Fire Chief Lerbs responded to Council questions over the proposed Fire Department budget. The Council asked several questions pertaining to the capitol requests, particularly the need for an additional computer and network and the justification for a cellular phone. Councilmember Hartmann stated that he has a problem with the philosophy behind the rescue truck and that he does not feel it would take $80,000 to equip a basic life support unit. The Council asked that Chief Maczko submit an annual report for 1987. Public Works Superintendent Olund reviewed the Public Works budget requests. With respect to the proposed purchase of plow wings, he explained that the existing wings are constant problems and need replacement. Council discussed the issue of street lighting, and Councilmember Witt stated that she feels Council should establish a program for lighting major intersections, and a street lighting policy, and select a standard light to be used. Police Chief Delmont reviewed the proposed Police and Animal Control budgets and answered Council questions. Chief Delmont explained the need for an investigator position. Page 5 August 30, 1988 Administrator Frazell reviewed the Planning and Recycling budgets. CITY LOGO City Administrator Frazell reported that DISCUSSION graphic artist Robyn Huspek had recommended a color scheme for the new city logo. He presented the colors to Council, and Council felt that they were attractive and endorsed the selections. Frazell noted that Huspek was also recommending that we use gray stationery. Council asked that some additional work be done in laying out the other lettering on the stationery. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilmember Cummins moved that the meeting be adjourned. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 10:05 o'clock P.M. Kevin D. Frazell-- City Administrator ATTEST: Charles E. Mer enso o Mayor Page 1 September 6, 1988 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA Minutes of the Pre -Council Meeting Held Tuesday, September 6, 1988 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the pre -Council meeting was convened at 6:34 P.M. in the Engineering Conference Room. The following members were present: Mayor Mertensotto, Councilmembers Blesener, Cummins, Hartmann and Witt. PLANNING Mr. Walter Bonfe indicated that he had COMMISSION lived in Mendota Heights for INTERVIEWS approximately seven years. He is a graduate of Cretin High School and the WALTER BONFE University of Minnesota, and the St. Paul AVTI. Bonfe indicated that he previously owned a plumbing and heating company in St. Paul, and has since sold it to Gover Plumbing in Minneapolis, for whom he now works. His brother, Roger Bonfe, is a long-time resident of the Curley Addition and owns Bonfe Auto Repair in St. Paul. Bonfe said he was concerned with Mendota Heights' welfare. He felt it was a unique area with unique neighborhoods. He said he was also concerned about helping to guide the future of commercial development. Bonfe has served on the Mend -Eagan Hockey Policy Committee, which he said demonstrates his concern with the welfare of the children of the community. Councilmember Blesener questioned whether there was any particular issue that had piqued his interest in serving on the Planning Commission. He indicated that the recent articles on the 110/Lexington area shopping center interested him and he would like to see it blend into the residential areas. Bonfe said he would have no problem attending the Planning Commission meetings on the 4th Tuesday of each month. Finally, he added that he would like to see the community's parks improved. Page 2 September 6, 1988 APPLICANT BOB Mr. Emery, 1183 Dodd Road, indicated that EMERY he had lived in his current home for 16 1/2 years. He added that his family ties in the area go back to the 19301s, and he is a 1962 graduate of Henry Sibley High School. Emery attended the University of Minnesota for two years. After working in retail sales for Sears, Emery has been an insurance agent for the past several years, writing property, casualty and life coverage. He said that he is active in youth events in the community, including soccer coaching with Mend -Eagan Athletic Association. He felt that this means he has gotten to know a lot of people in Mendota Heights. Emery said his interests were growth, but "planned growth". He feels that Mendota Heights is a wonderful place to live, and wants to make sure that we don't have unchecked growth in the future. He added that he wished Mendota Heights had a sports complex for the youth, something like is in West St. Paul. Emery said he would also like for young people to be able to stay in Mendota Heights, and would prefer to see the City not exasperate the problem of housing prices that are out of the reach of young families. Emery said he has two children, one in Sibley and one in Somerset. Mayor Mertensotto asked him what prompted his application. Emery responded that he is friends with Planning Commissioner Ultan Duggan, and they had discussed planning .issues in the City. In addition to his concern about not getting more accomplished with parks, Emery said he thought there was a problem with very large homes being built on lots that are too small. He added that he was also concerned about the Mendota Plaza shopping center being anchored by a packaged liquor store, and would prefer to have seen another use. Emery said that he did not think a Planning Commission was a dictatorial Page 3 September 6, 1988 body, but mostly just provided input to the planning process. Emery said he had lived in Los Angeles for a while during the 1950's, and hated the way it was allowed to develop. He would not like to see the same thing happen in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Councilmember Hartmann asked what single item Emery would bring to the Commission in terms of qualifications. Emery responded that he felt he was articulate, and able to communicate, and could ask the appropriate questions. APPLICANT MICHAEL Michael Dwyer indicated that he moved to DWYER Mendota Heights in April of 1987, when he and his family purchased a home in the Copperfield 1st Addition. He said that they plan to remain in the area for a long time. Dwyer was raised in Shoreview, and attended the University of Minnesota where he obtained degrees in.journalism and went to law school. He is currently a partner in a Minneapolis law firm, specializing in personal injury and commercial litigation. Dwyer said that he had a deep vested interest in the future of the community. He added that the demographics of his family, he felt, would closely parallel those of other young families moving into the growing area. Dwyer said he thought growth in Mendota Heights was inevitable, but that the growth should be balanced with protecting the quality of life in the community. Dwyer said that he did not have any other outside enterprises, other than his law practice, which would preclude him from serving on the Planning Commission. He added that the development of the Copperfield Phase IV (Weed property) was what piqued his interest in planning issues, and that he was pleased with the outcome of the deliberations on that subject. Page 4 September 6, 1988 Councilmember Cummins questioned whether Dwyer had any other issues of concern. Dwyer responded that the airport noise was always a concern, that some growth of light industry in the community would be good, and that the 494 freeway was going to obviously have an impact on growth. Councilmember Blesener asked what Dwyer's views were on protecting the quality of the environment. He responded that he and his family had selected Mendota Heights for their new home, after looking at the northern suburbs where he was raised. He said that the trees, open fields, and nice mix of commerce made Mendota Heights an appealing community. Councilmember Cummins indicated that Brent Coatney had left a message on his answering machine that he was withdrawing from candidacy for the position. There was a concensus of the Council that they would hold off on formally considering appointment to the position until their meeting of September 20. ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 P.M. Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator ATTEST: Charles E. Mertensotto Mayor CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES, AUGUST 10, 1988 The meeting was called to•order by Chairman Jim Stein. The following members were present: Stein, Huber, Owens, Leffert, Damberg, Lachenmayer, and Katz. Also present were Public Works Director Jim Danielson, Parks Leadman Terry Blum, and Councilmember Jan Blesener. Mr. Larry Decker, from Barton Aschman was also present. PARK DESIGN 1. Mendakota: Council approved road REVIEW access at narrowest point of land rather than directly onto Dodd. Discussion re: existing trails, if improperly placed, may need to be realigned. Newly dedicated 1.6 acre could become practice field or be used for "pick up" games. 2. Victoria Highland Park: primarily a passive park, could contain hard court, creative play structure, trail, picnic area. Neighbor's input - discussion of possible configuration, ball fields, question whether one regulation baseball field or several softball fields - commissioners stated the park has to serve the needs of the City beyond just the immediate neighborhood. Motion by Damberg "that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to the Council that the city acquire the 3 lots along the new Douglas Road which presently take up a corner of the park". Seconded by Huber, discussed, and passed. 3. Hagstrom King: southeast corner along future Mendota Heights Road will contain tot lot, trail, hard court, and parking all of which will be furnished by the developer. Motion by Owens "that the Commission recommend to Council to approve and, proceed immediately with the developers plan for the trail, hard court, parking, picnic area and tot lot area on the west as discussed, leaving the middle section open for future development, anticipating 4 DNR approval to fill the neck of the east pond". Seconded by Lachenmayer, discussed and passed. Owens raised question as to why developer is donating 10 additional acres. Dick Putnam responded that it is a good plan for the neighborhood and they also hope this good faith gesture will spark the Council to begin to move forward with the project. FRIENDLY HILLS Bill Owens discussed the proposals and HOCKEY FENCE bids for installation of fencing around the hockey rink at Friendly Hills for Mend -Eagan hockey practice. Motion that Commission accept the low bid (same provider as at Wentworth Park) and hire them to do the work. Motion was seconded and passed. OTHER BUSINESS Damberg requested that commissioners receive parks dept. budget so there can be an informed discussion regarding the allocation of resources. September meeting of commission to be rescheduled to September 14 since September 13 is a Jewish holiday. Tabling of neighborhood parks improvement discussion to later date. Tabling of proposed community park survey to later date. Special meeting called for August 30 to discuss above issues. ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

Danielson Public Works Director T SUBJECT: Mn/DOT Agreement - Trunk Highway Frontage Road Funding nTcr.TTccTnm • When the City constructed the frontage road along Trunk Highway 110 in conjunction with the Centre Pointe South Business Park construction, Mn/DOT agreed to reimburse us for those costs. They have finally prepared an agreement that allows them to make that payment (see attached). RECOMMENDATION:, Staff recommends that Council approve the attached Cooperative Con- struction No. 63762 allowing payment by the State to the City of $219,675.46. , ACTION REQUIRED: Review the attached agreement and if the Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution 88- _, RESOLTUION APPROVING MN/DOT AGREEMENT N0. 63761 AND AUTHORIZING PROPER CITY OFFICERS TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT. 1 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO SEPTEMBER 15, 1988 TO: Mayor and Cit Council FROM: Kevin D. City Administrator SUBJECT: State Requirement for Affirmative Action Plan The State of Minnesota has a requirement in its contracting laws that any firm doing more than $50,000 of business with the State'in a year and which has 20 or more employees must have an Affirmative Action Plan certified by the State Department of Human Rights. Human Rights Commissioner Steven Cooper has recently decided that this requirement applies to all recipients of discretionary grants, which in essence means all political subdivisions of the State. Our first experience with this new requirement is in obtaining reimbursement from the Department of Transportation for construction of the Frontage Road in the Centre Pointe South Business Park development. Attached is a copy of the letter that Mn/DOT is requiring us to sign as a condition of receiving the reimbursing funds. Staff was already aware of this requirement, and has attended a League of Cities seminar on how to prepare an affirmative action plan that will meet certification. Apparently, we have little choice but to prepare a plan if we are going to continue to receive discretionary State dollars, such as highway funds. No follow-up Coancil action is required at this time. Staff will be working on preparing a plan over the next two to three months, and will submit it for Council approval prior to forwarding to the State Department of Human Rights. You will recognize,jof course, that this is one more State mandate competing wLth Council directives for staff's time, attention and energies!

Mrs. Strot requested that the City of Mendota Heights consider adoption of a noise ordinance, and provided a copy of the West St. Paul City Code as an example (see attached). DISCUSSION• The West St. Paul ordinance provided is actually a general nuisance ordinance. The City of Mendota Heights already has a general nuisance ordinance, one actually quite more extensive than the West St. Paul example. A copy is attached, and I call your attention to Section 4.7, which enumerates "all unnecessary.noises and annoying vibrations" as a public nuisance affecting peace and safety. Therefore, it would seem that we have already met Mrs. Strot's request. The only noise complaint that seems to come up on a repeated basis throughout the community is that from construction activity during very early morning or very late evening hours. For the most part, staff has been able to deal with these complaints merely by seeking the cooperation of the people making the noise. However, if Council feels that this is a problem, and would like to put more teeth in our ordinance, we might consider amending the ordinance to prohibit the generation of such noise prior to 7:00 A.M. or after 11:00 P.M. ACTION REQUIRED: It would seem that Ordinance No. 901, already adopted into the City Code, answers Mrs. Strot's request. However, if Mrs. Strot has additional suggestions, or Council has other thoughts on noise restrictions in the community, staff can be directed accordingly. KDF:madlr attachments West Saint Paul City Code 2010.01. Nuisances. a public nuisance: Section 2010 - Nuisances; General Subdivision 1. Defined.

A couple of changes on the final plat from the preliminary plat are note- worthy. First, the Developer has changed the name of the plat to Ivy Falls Creek Addition, staff has no problems with this.

Frazell, City A minis ra or DEVELOPER Heaver Design and Construction, Inc. By_ Its MEMO CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS September 16, 1988 To: Mayor and City Council s From: Kevin F a, City Administrator Re:' Adoption of 1989 Budget and Tax Levy INTRODUCTION On Aucjust 30th, Council met to review the City Administrator's recommended budget for 1989. As a result of that discussion, staff was directed to do further research on the appropriate salary for the Assistant position. Staff was also asked to provide a concise explanation of the financial dynamics causing the tax increase for next year. The purpose of this memo is to respond to those directives. For a more extensive discussion of the budget, please see my memo of August 19th, which was in the budget book. ASSISTANT'S SALARY The recommended budget proposed the addition of an Assistant's position, for the purpose of working on special projects in the areas of recycling, planning, and parks development. A portion of the Assistant's time was also allocated to general staff support for the City Administrator and other personnel. A salary of $34,000 was proposed; Council asked that this be reviewed. Administrative Assistant tends to be a "catch all" title, with areas of responsibility and salary varying widely from city to city. The 1988 Stanton report shows salaries for this title ranging from about $25,000 to over $40,000. These are 1988 salaries, and can be expected to increase 4% or so for 1989. I also checked with two suburban city manager's that are in the process of recruiting assistant's. One recently advertised and selected someone in the low $201s, and was very satisfied with the quality of the applicants (usually a Master's degree plus some intern experience.) A second city manager was advertising in the upper 301s, and felt that he wasigetting outstanding applicants (Master's degree plus three or more years of experience). He added that most of these people were already making in the low 30's in their present position. Obviously, we will get good candidates at whatever reasonable salary we decide to advertise. The question is really one of stage in the career cycle. Lower salaries will attract people early in their work experience, and who will require closer guidance•and supervision. Higher salaries will attract people who can "hit the ground running," and more independently handle their own areas of responsibility. As this is our first Assistant, staff will, of course, be grateful for whatever help Council is willing to make available. My only caution is that we keep our expectations for performance in line with the salary we -are willing to pay. The lower the salary level (and consequently the shorter the past work experience) the less we can reasonably expect astounding results in the first few months of employment with the City. In the budget before you this evening I have reduced the salary from $34,000 to $30,000, and placed the $4",000 in the Administration contingency line item. I believe this lowers the expectations somewhat for the kind of person we will hire, but keeps our options open in the event we find that we need to pay a little more to get the person we really want. LEVEL OF TAXATION Council's second request, for a concise, easily understandable explanation of the tax increase is much more difficult to provide. That's because you can talk to five different agencies that are supposed to be "experts" on property taxes, and you will get five different answers as to the impact of the new tax bill on individual homeowners. One supposedly knowledgeable person told Larry that the best way to estimate next year's taxes would be to "toss the chips in the air." Not being ones to be daunted by such cynicism, your staff makes the following attempt to guesstimate what will happen if the proposed budget is adopted. The total proposed tax levy is $1,745,750, a $167,930, or 10.6% increase over 1988. The City Administrator's budget message of August 19th calculated that this levy would result in most Mendota Heights homeowner's experiencing net City tax increases in the range of roughly 7%, with higher valued homes (over $200,000) down around 2.5%. These calculations factored in the impact of the new property tax bill passed by the 188 legislature, as well as the property reassessments put in place by the Dakota County assessor's office earlier this year. Also used in the calculations was the City's tax capacity (formerly the assessed value) as provided by House Research. At the budget meeting of August 30th, Councilmember Blesener questioned why homeowners would be experiencing tax increases as high as the estimates when there is obviously so much growth in the City's tax base. The City's assessed valuation is $111,282,187 for taxes payable in 1988, and projected to be around $127,000,000 for 1989, an increase of over 14%. Although no "official" figures are available as to how much of the increase is due to real growth (versus inflation and reassessments), staff estimates it to be around $9,000,000, or.about 8% of the tax base. One would assume that with a 10.6% increase in the levy, and an•8% increase in the real tax base, existing taxpayers would see only about a 2 - 3% increase in the City portion of their tax bill under the proposed budget. This may in fact be the case, or it could be even better than that. The County Auditor's office has indicated that their preliminary estimate of Mendota Heights tax capacity (formerly assessed valuation) is over $15,000,000, as opposed to the figure of about $10,000,000 provided by House Research and used in the earlier budget estimates. A word of caution is that the former figure seems optimistically high, and the Auditor's office does not meet with the State revenue department to confirm their figures until November 15th. In conclusion, staff now feels that the estimated impacts provided in my earlier budget message were on the high side. It seems fair to "guesstimate" that most homeowners will experience increases in the 2 - 5 % range, depending on what our total tax base really is when all the new formulas shake out. If Council is feeling frustrated by the inability to get a straight answer on this question, please be assured that your staff feels the same way. In an effort to "simplify" the property tax system, the State has created a new approach that so radically departs from our existing system, the first year of implementation is bound to be fraught with confusion. Add to that the massive reassessments in Dakota County this year, and you end up with a morass that defies comprehension. Don't forget, all this is being brought to you by the proponents of TRUTH IN TAXATION! FIRE CALLS An additional question raised at the budget session was why the number of fire calls has been doing up the past couple of years when we have a much more active fire prevention program. The growth in the number of calls over the past couple of years is accounted for almost entirely by two categories, grass fires and residential false alarms. The former is, of course, due to the drought, and the latter to residential growth, particularly of more expensive homes with fire alarm systems. Staff feels that the fire prevention program has been vindicated by a very substantial (over 50%) reduction in the number of commercial fires, and a modest reduction in the number of actual residential fires. ACTION REQUIRED The required public hearing on the budget and tax levy has been set for 8:15 p.m. I will be prepared to give a brief overview of the budget, in the event interested persons are present. Following the public hearing, Council should adopt the 1989 budget and Resolution 88- , adopting the tax levy, either as presented, or with whatever changes.Council may wish to make.

Because the developers are asking for considerable tax increment assistance for acquisition and demolition of the existing structures, staff had suggested that we ought to satisfy ourselves that the new development will in fact be a viable center from a market standpoint. Council concurred with this recommendation, and directed staff to solicit proposals from marketing consultants. DISCUSSION: Council may recall that last Spring we contemplated a community -wide commercial market study, and received proposals from three consulting firms. For the current assignment, I contacted two of the firms which I felt were most qualified, Maxfield Research Group and Laventhol & Horwath. Copies of the first page of their proposal to us last Spring are attached for your review, as they give a brief rendition of the firm's credentials. I asked the firms to give us a quote for doing a study that would accomplish two things: 1. Review the market feasibility of the developer's proposal as presented, and 2.

Frazell City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 .. 4 Dear Mr. Frazell,: 100 Washington Square Minneapolis, Minn. 55401 (612) 332-5500 Laventhol and Horwath is pleased to present this proposal to conduct an analysis of the retail market potential for the City of Mendota Heights. L&H is uniquely qualified for this assignment in several ways: - We have the -largest, most experienced commercial real estate market research staff in the upper midwest; - our process follows a proven methodology for commercial market analysis that incorporates sophisticated consumer demographics and retail purchasing information available for area residents; - Our office has worked on commercial market analyses in the Mendota Heights area, and we are currently conducting an inventory and projection of retail commercial development needs for the City of Eagan. This gives us a large data base and a great deal of familiarity with the dynamics of the retail commercial market in northern Dakota County. L&H understands the city wishes to make a realistic assessment of the development potential for community oriented commercial uses in the city. Accordingly, we propose to quantify the retail potential based upon consumer purchasing power in the area utilizing our unique commercial market study methodology. This analysis will permit the identification of retail 'uses with potential that offer the types of goods and services needed to serve local community residents. Based on this understanding, the objectives of our assignment are to: - Study commercial activity in Mendota Heights to define its trade area, to prepare a description of consumer demographics, to quantify purchasing power, and to identify unfilled consumer demands for community oriented retail and service establishments.

MAXFIELD BErCH RCUP March 21, 1988 Mr. Kevin Frazell City Administrator City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120 Dear Mr. Frazell: Thank you for contacting Maxfield Research Group, Inc. to submit a proposal for a research study examining the need for retail space in Mendota Heights. We would very much like to assist you with this important study. Maxfield Research Group, Inc. has long been recognized as the premier residen— tial consulting firm in the upper midwest. Several years ago, we began to • apply our research methods to commercial developments and since then have con— ducted a number of retail, office and mixed—use market studies. The hallmark of our work is the high proportion of primary versus seconddry research in our analysis of the existing and expected future market situation. While we use a number of secondary data sources in our research (i.e., Ceneus Bureau, Metro— politan Council), we try whenever possible to gather data from interviews and personal observations. We don't rely on bogus computer—programs which project questionable demand forecasts based on unreliable data. Once you have examined our work I'm sure you will agree that we can provide the most comprehensive analysis available of Mendota Height's retail market situation. A list of references are included with our proposal. i Enclosed please find our proposal which outlines our work program for this study. We are proposing a two—phased approach to this project: a retail mar— ket situation analysis and resident survey. The retail markei'analysis will examine demographic and economic trends in a retail market area including Men— dota Heights, analysis of existing retail development in the market area and development of supply/demand ratios for two digit Standard Industrial Classifi— cation (SIC) retail categories. Potential retail development sites will be examined. i f The resident survey will be conducted to learn more about the demographic make— i up of market area residents, examine perceptions of the current retail market 620 KICKERNICK, 430 FIRST AVENUE NORTH 612-338-0012 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESGrA 55401 ®Lavendhol & Horwath Real Estate Advisory Services Mr. Kevin Frazell City Administrator City Hall Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Mr. Frazell: 100 Washington Square Minneapolis, Minn. 55401 (612) 332-5500 September 14, 1988 Thank you for your interest in Laventhol & Horwath. Pursuant to our conversation today let me confirm our interest in providing the City of Mendota Heights with professional assistance in conducting a market overview of the proposed shopping center at the intersection of Highway 110 and Lexington. We estimate that a market overview could be completed for a cost in the range of $3,000 to $4,000. In addition, we could prepare a cost benefit analysis of the proposed tax increment finance district for an estimated $4,000 to $5,000. These costs would be in addition to those stated above for the market overview. f, These costs represent estimates, however we would be interested in preparing a detailed scope of services with specific costs for you at your request. We look forward to receiving your comments on this matter, please do not hesitate to call me with any questions you may have.

The banners each contain 48 square feet and are proposed to be attached to the north and south side of the shopping center by rope. The 35 foot high balloon is proposed to be placed on the roof of the center. Jan further requests to be allowed to have Council grant this approval of the proposed signage on an extended basis (see attached letter of request), to eliminate the need to request approval each time they have a sale.

The architects are working on coming up with a new (and hopefully less expensive!) alternative for Council consideration. One thing they need to know at this time is the verbage that we would like on the sign. Alternatives would include: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY OFFICES MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY HALL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY OFFICES Council may have other thoughts. The architects also want to know whether we want the front sign to somehow indicate the location of the police department in the back. The new city logo will be incorporated into the sign.

F�a�E ' City Administrator SUBJECT: Meeting to Continue Fire Dept. Discussions Council needs to continue its informational meeting with Fire Chief John Maczko. Topics that we still need to cover include future direction of the fire department, and future capital expenses. After consulting with John, it appears that a Monday evening works best for his calendar and mine. If a Monday would also work well for Council, I suggest that we try for October 17. If this date is not good for Council, then we should look at a Monday in November. KDF:madlr I
