regarding an extension of a temporary slope easement which had
been granted to Mn/DOT over the Mulvihill site in connection with
the Mendota Interchange project.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the City has not been notified of the
value of the easement and recommended that the easement
agreement be amended so that the state is required to pay the
appraised compensation to the city as soon as the appraisal is
completed.
Councilmember Koch moved to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk

Seibell, 871 Highway 110, objecting to the name change.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that since the three property owners living

in his new plat, from west of the Leitner property, Carmen Lane and
not request a name change from the Leitner property to T.H. 110.

COHEN STORM SEWER Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
CONNECTION Danielson regarding the Cohen private storm sewer connection,
along with a quote from Barr Engineering for completing a
feasibility study to analyze four proposed options for the private
connection and a response from Peter Tritz, of the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, regarding city assumption of
liability.
Public Works Director Danielson reviewed the Barr proposal, the
Schoell and Madson study which had been submitted by Mr. Cohen,

stated that Mr. Tritz informed him that public easements aze
dedicated in plats to provide for utility lines such as the one
proposed. He stated that by authorizing the agreement with Mr.
Cohen, the city would be giving him the authority, by contract, to
use the public easement to install the line.

Cohen and his successors to maintain the line in the event of freeze-
ups, etc. He suggested that pictures of the neighboring yards be
taken to document existing conditions before the project is done.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if any analysis has been done on
establishing a special district. She further asked whether a district
could be created to assess for maintenance of the privately installed
line, and sta.ted that the neighbors are asking the city to assume the
responsibility for maintenance. She asked whether Mr. Cohen could
run the line out to the street with a catch basin in his front yard as a
public improvement project. She felt that this would be the best
engineering solution and the costs should be shazed by Copperfield
Associates and Mr. Cohen.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that in a district, areas
are identified where runoff is handled by a city improvement and the
properties within the district aze assessed an amount needed to pay
the project cost. He pointed out that benefit must then be proved,
and in this case the purpose would be to provide a connection for
subsurface drains and the only people who would benefit are those
who would connect to it. With respect to maintenance, the city can
only assess for construction costs. He explained that Mr. Cohen
could run a four inch private service from his house a11 the way to
Huber Drive if the city were to grant him permission to use the right-
of-way and the reduced size pipe.
Mrs. Alt, Mr. Macey and Mr. Pilla, neighbors of Mr. Cohen,
expressed concern that they might incur future costs should the pipe
break or should settling occur in yards or driveways. They were
concerned that the escrow should be held longer than two years and
that agreement is unreasonable since it does not address a reasonable
method for compensation if driveways, etc., settle. Mrs. Alt stated
that the Cohen's next door neighbor has a similaz basement water
problem and that if a line is installed to the cul-de-sac more than one
person would connect to it.
City Attorney Hart suggested that Council could establish a'•
contractual covenant binding Mr. Cohen and his assigns to pay the
cost of maintenance of the proposed system. The city could
establish a right to do repairs if Mr. Cohen does not. He pointed out
that there should be a clause in the agreement which would allow the
city to recover any legal expenses.
Administrator Lawell suggested that perhaps one option would be
for Mr. Cohen and the neighbors to be refened to the dispute
resolution consultants who are available to the city at no charge.

Councilmember Huber suggested that Mr. Cohen's legal counsel
draft a revision to the agreement that protects his neighbors from a
failure in the line, to protect them from costs.
Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto, Public Works
D'uector Danielson informed Council that six inch PVC pipe is
expected to last 50 to 100 years, and he did not anticipate that 4 inch
pipe would have a shorter life.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that an inappropriate heating system may
be a part of the problem but the basement level is lower than the
elevation of the pond south of his home. He informed Council that
he will check with the LMCIT as to the city undertalcing the liability
in the event the 4 inch PVC pipe (without the interceptor) has a leak,
as this approach seems to be the only solution. He explained that the
city would not be responsible for maintenance or repair.
Councilmember Huber stated that he would rather go at it from the
perspective that the responsibility for failure of the pipe will still be
on the homeowner, as suggested by the City Attorney. He ftirther
stated that all Council is agreeing to this evening is to see what the
LMCIT says and then it should step back and see if this is what
Council really wants to do. He did not want to make a decision
Council would regret in the future because of city wide implication.
He stated that the only way the city would go to the LMCIT would
be if there were no money available from the homeowner.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the LMCIT may have
subrogation rights and could go after the homeowner if there is a
problem with the design, etc, of the line. He explained that if Mr.
Cohen does not maintain the line, his system will fail. He felt that
the city would have minimal liability for loss.
Mr. Pilla stated that if an agreement will be drawn up he would like
to receive a copy. Mr. Pilla and Mrs. Alt asked for a longer and
larger escrow to cover replacement of major trees lost because of
root system damage or sinking driveways or sod replacement.
Mr. Cohen responded that he will contact contractors to see what
driveway repair would cost.
PARKING RESTRICTION Council acknowledged a memo and proposed ordinance from the
Public Works Director with respect to establishing a no parking zone
on the west side of Pueblo Lane adjacent to the Friendly Hills Park.

She stated that she would hate to see the ban be imposed all year
' long, since anyone coming to her home for a fanuly;gathering would
have no place to park, and asked whether the ban could only be
� imposed during ball games or during specified hours during the
� baseball season.

A neighbor of Mrs. Tessing, who lives on Pueblo, stated that she
would never be able to pazk on her side of the street � She stated that
the ball season is only six or eight weeks long and tliat pazking on
Pueblo is not a problem at other times.
After discussion, Councilmember Krebsbach moved adoption of
Ordinance No. 298, "AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING

GENER.AL PiJMP Council acknowledged a memo from Treasurer Shaughnessy
regarding a request from United Properties for preliminary review of
pay-as-you-go tax increment participation for a proposed project for
General Pump.
Mr. Dale Glowa stated that the building will be a single story
office/warehouse similaz to the VGC facility and that it will be
compatible and consistent with what exists in the MAC area. He
informed Council that the building will face Pilot Knob Road with
T.H. 55 at its rear and that the exterior materials will probably be a
combination of pre-cast panels like Big Wheel, Lennox and VGC,
and will have other material azound the office area, like VGC. He
stated that the building will be finished on all four sides.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to look at Big
Wheel and VGC in the next few da.ys and suggested that the matter
be tabled.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Mr. Glowa is asking for $397,000 in
TIF, approximately 80% of the development costs. He asked what
other projects in the industrial pazk have received the same TIF
percentage.
Mr. Glowa responded that Lennox, VGC and BDS are very
comparable, and stated that he is asking for an indication from
Council on whether it will support the request for TIF. He stated
that there is no land write-down involved.
It was the consensus that Council was generally in support of the
request but would talce no official action until more details are
presented on the project. ,

Council acknowledged a memo from Administrative Assistant
Batchelder regarding a request from St. Thomas Academy for fence
height variance along with a revised resolution to approve a
conditional use pernrit for accessory structures for St. Thomas.
Council also acknowledged a letter from St. Thomas" regazding the
fence height request and a revised site plan, dated June 13, 1994,
showing the fence setbacks. �
Mr. Jon Greving, St. Thomas Headmaster, informed+Council that St.
Thomas is requesting that the perimeter fence be 8 feet in height
rather than 6 feet, as is allowed by ordinance because the Academy
strongly feels that an eight foot fence is needed for security purposes
and as a deterrent for those, especially children, who'might try to
climb a six foot fence. He stated that the indushy standard for high
school fences is eight feet, that all surrounding school districts use
eight foot perimeter fences, and that the DNR has also recommended
eight feet in order to keep deer out. He informed Council that the
Academy's legal counsel has also recommend an eight foot height,
and that St. Thomas proposes to install a black vinyl�coated fence
rather than galvanized steel. He stated that extensive plantings are
planned along Mendota. Heights Road.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council has asked that the fence be
six feet tall because St. Thomas had asked to place 600 feet of the
fence at 15 feet from the right-of-way.
Mr. Gary Turpening, the project azclutect, informed Council that the
Academy is requesting that about 300 feet of the fence be allowed
15 feet from the right-of-way to give St. Thomas as much space as
possible for track activities. He explained that to thejwest there can
be 50 feet of landscaping and to the east there will be a 30 foot
setback all the way to where the fence ends.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she feels that the scope of the
project warrants an 8 foot fence and asked what size the plantings
along the fence will be, and when the planting will be done. .,
Mr. Turpening responded that he is hoping to plant g

He felt that a galvanized fence would give a much cleaner
appearance.
Councilmember Huber pointed out that the proposed conditional use
resolution has been revised to include a condition regarding access
for emergency vehicles, and stated that he wants to be sure that St.
Thomas understands what the condition means.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that at the June 7 meeting the St.
Thomas representatives made a statement that future planning may
include an addition to the existing school and building a11 the way to
the athletic facility. He felt that there should be a precautionary item
in the resolution that alerts St. Thomas that it would be violating fire
codes if it does not provide emergency vehicle access to all four
sides of the structure. He explained that he does not want Council to
falsely convey to St. Thomas that it has been given the potential to
circumvent the fire code by raising the azch for emergency vehicle
access. He sta.ted that Council cannot commit future councils and
that it would be contrary to good planning to allow St. Thomas to
not have access on a11 four sides of the building. He pointed out that
any future construction must comply with fire codes and that the
principle building must have access on all sides.
Mr. Turpening responded that St. Thomas will meet all codes and
that there aze three possible ways being considered for building a
major extension to the building.
Mr. Greving stated that St. Thomas would not do anything that
would impede emergency vehicles from going all azound the
building.
Administrator Lawell stated that if the building were built all the
way to the fence line the fire department would want some kind of
free flowing access all azound four sides of the building without
having to go through locked gates.
It was the consensus to revise the seventh condition of the resolution
to state that any proposed future structure that is expanded or
extended towards the athletic facility shall not impede emergency
vehicle access.

PERMIT FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AT ST. THOMAS
ACADEMY (revised June 21, 1994), as revised as to the seventh
condition.
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that it is the express request of St. Thomas
to install an eight foot high fence for security purposes and to permit
the fence to be within 15 feet of the Mendota Heights Road right-of-
way for appro�cimately 300 feet, and that the applicant agrees that it
will make no future request to install bazbed wire on top of the '
fence. He stated that the granting of the eight foot fence would be
strictly at the request of St. Thomas because it deems the height
necessary for security. He further stated that at the last meeting,
Council directed staff to ask the Planning Commission to look at R-
1 District ordinance revisions to permit athletic facilities of this type
in the district under certain terms and conditions, and pointed out
that the St. Thomas facility would be grandfathered �
Councilmember Krebsbach pointed out that St. Thomas is unique
since there aze no residential structures in the immediate vicinity.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to approve an eigglit foot fence
with a fifteen foot setback for 300 feet, and then a 30 rfoot setback,
with landscaping consistent with the plan on file with�the city dated
June 13, 1994, based on the representations of the applicant that an
eight foot fence is needed for security, to avoid children being
injured and to prevent vandalism. �
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

that they plan to retain the look of the woods as it exists today. She
explained that much of the area where the porch would be
constructed is currently concrete patio. Mrs. Nisita informed .
Council that an erosion barrier will be insta.11ed during construction
and after construction the yazd will be landscaped to�restrict surface
water from numing into the creek. A catch basin will be added to
drain surface water to the west if Council wishes. She informed
Council that the addition will have the same exterio � treatment as the
rest of the house, including brick on the wing wall and the same
windows, so that the addition will look like it was part of the
original structure. �
Responding to a Council question, Assistant Batchelder stated that
the wetlands setback is measured from the center of the creek, as is
required by ordinance. �
Acting Mayor Smith pointed out that there is construction going on
in the creek at this time as part of a public improvement project, and
asked for confirmation that the steep slopes going down to the creek
from the subject property are being stabilized as part� of the city
project.
Administrator Lawell distributed detail drawings of the creek
project, informing Council that gabion drop structures will be
installed adjacent to the Nisita property to help stabilize the bank
along the properiy.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to approve a wetlands pernut to
allow the constntction of n porch 65 feet�from the center
of Ivy Falls Creek at 19 Hunter Lane as proposed � n revised site
plans dated June 29, o e in the city offices.
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.
Council acknowledged a letter of intent and application from David
May, 987 Delaware Avenue, for a fence height to allow installation
of a 48 inch fence on his through lot, ten feet from tlie reaz properiy
line that fronts on Chippewa Avenue. Council also acknowledged
associated reports from the Administrative Assistant�and City
Planner, along with signatures of consent from neighboring properiy
owners. �
Mr. May informed Council that he wishes to install a swim set in a
playground area on the Chippewa Avenue side of his lot and would
like to install the fence to provide maximum protection for his small
child, to cut down on any traffic that might come info his yard from
Page No. 4080
July 5, 1994
Chippewa, and to keep would be intruders off of his property. He
felt that a 48 inch fence would be safer for his children than a 36
inch fence would be and explained that the fence will connect to a
fence which exists on his neighbor's yard to the south. He informed
Council that his neighbor to the north also has a 48 inch high fence,
set back 30 feet from the property line, but that he would like to
place the fence at 10 feet to avoid having to remove lilac bushes and
an existing tree. Mr. May explained that the 10 foot setback will
allow him to install additional landscaping between the fence and
the play azea in the future as his budget permits. Responding to a
question from Councilmember Krebsbach, he stated that his
neighbors on Chippewa cannot see his lot.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to see some
plantings to soften the appearance of the fence . She pointed out that
the fence height is being requested for the protection of a toddler and
to reduce unnecessary traffic on the through lot, and that the
requested fence would be consistent with the neighborhood since the
property to the north and south aze fenced,
Councilmember Krebsbach moved to establish a finding of hardship
due to the configuration of the lot and it being a through lot and to
grant a variance to fence height in the front yard to allow
construction of a forty-eight inch high chain link fence, to be located
at a 10 faot setback, as shown on the plans submitted with the
application for variance.

CASE NO. 94-18, BEATY _Council aclaiowledged an application from Mr. Scott Beaty for a
" wetlands pernut to allow construction of a stairway and installation
of landscaping at 800 Haven View Court to within 25 feet of the
Bridgeview Shores pond behind his home. Council also
acknowledged associated reports from the Administrative Assistant
and City Planner and signatures of consent from neighboring
property owners.
Mr. Beaty informed Council that when he moved into lus home he
sodded the yard to withi.n 25 feet of the pond to prevent erosion but
he would like to return the hill behind his home, from the top of the
hill to the scenic easement area, to its natural condition because it is
so difficult to mow. He proposed to add bushes and ground cover to
keep the hill from eroding and to screen the stairway. The stairway
would be wooden (cedar) and would stop about 25 feet from the
pond, with a mid-way wooden landing to give his family access to
the rear portion of their property and to the pond in the wintertime.

Large shrubs will be planted along the stairs to hide

CASE NO. 94-20, SWOR Council acknowledged an application from Mr. Micha.el Swor, 1349
Knollwood Lane, for lot split to add a portion of his neighbor's
properiy ( Stan Ostlund and Nora. McBride) to his lot. Council also
acknowledged memos from Administrative Assistant Batchelder and
the City Planner, signatures of consent from neighboring property
, owners, and a letter from Mr. Swor's legal counsel, David Anastasi,
transferring copies of a declara.tion of covenants, the warranty deed
to convey the property and other legal and financial documents.
Mr. Swor informed Council that he would like to purchase the
approximately 50,000 square feet of land to increase his reaz yard
and will keep the land as it is. He explained that he has no intention
to develop the lot and has in the past, with the owners' permission,
landscaped and planted trees on the lot, and when the owner's
indicated they were interested in selling their property he asked them
if he could purchase some of the reaz portion. He stated that since
the parcels are in two different plats, the County cannot at this time
combine them into one.
Acting Mayor Smith informed Mr. Swor that if the request is
approved Council would be creating a landlocked pazcel and would
require Mr. Swor to file the declaration of covenants which
stipulates that both the existing and new Swor pazcels will be
mutually owned and the taxes will be paid concurrently and that the
properiy will not be developed in any manner except to be used in
conjunction with the existing Swor property. She explained that this
would prevent the potential that any future owner would not have
the expectation that they could build on the divided parcel without
meeting city requirements and would notify any future buyers that
they cannot develop the land.
Councilmember Krebsbach suggested that the approving resolution
be amended to include that when it is possible for the County to
combine the two pazcels, they must be combined into a single parcel
on the tax rolls.
Councilmember Krebsbach moved adoption of Resolution No. 94-

Mr. Mathern responded that two units will be built at a time and that
he anticipates the project will be completed in 24 to 36 months. He
explained that the buyers will be given flexibility with respect to the
placement of walls, etc., but that he will be firm about the outside
perimeter and the placement of garages. The pads are 40 by 60 feet
per unit, and window and door placements can be moved to make
the units look different. The price range on the units will be from
$149,000 to $200,000.
With respect to the day care facility, Administrator Lawell explained
that the Planning Commission specifically addressed the issue
because of the requirement for a ten acre minimum for a PUD. He
stated that when Council could formally considers the application, it
could by a separate motion make a decision to waive the ten acre
minimum if it so desires.
Mr. Mathern informed Council that he does not own the day care
site and that it is his understanding in discussions with that Richard
Putnazn, the owner, that Child Tune is the identified buyer.
Councilmember Huber expressed a concern about the difficulties of
accessing the site if the day care parcel is not included. He stated
that he would rather see the site included and have the issue
addressed now so that Council can deal with the entire access issue,
and that he would speak in favor of addressing the entire site so that
Council can deal with one pazcel rather than two. He pointed out
that da.y care facilities generate traffic in the morning and evening,
whereas another business-type use could have traffic throughout the
a�y.
HEARING: CASE NO. 94-02, Acting Mayor Smith opened the meeting for the purpose of a public
BULLARD/JOHNSON hearing on an application from Mr. Jim Bullard, of Earthwood
Builders, for a 20 foot critical area variance for Mr. Joel Johnson to
allow construction of a dining room/kitchen expansion and sun
room/deck addition within the forty foot setback from the bluff at
1819 Hunter Lane. Council acknowledged a letter from Mr.
Johnson along with reports from the Adrninistrative Assistant and
City Planner.
Assistant Batchelder informed Council that the proposed deck is 15
feet above ground and one of the Planning Commissioners was

concemed about potential erosion because the ground cover would
be shaded. He stated that the Commission did not include any
conditiori in that regard in its motion to recommend approval. He
informed Council that when the original home was constructed, a 20
foot variance from the critical area setback was granted and that
none of the proposed new construction will come any closer to the
bluff than the existing home. �

BUROW FARM Council aclrnowledged an update from the City Administrator on the
Burow Farm preservation issue.
Councilmember Krebsbach, a member of the Council subcommittee
appointed to work on the issue with Mr. Burow's representative
(Ronald Smith), informed Council that the subcommittee and Mr.
Smith came to agreement on a$55,000 down payment from the city,
a monthly payment of $1,000 to Mr. Burow for up to twelve years
and not to exceed a total of $200,000. She explained that a key
point in the negotiations is that the properiy would stay on the tax
rolls as long as Mr. Burow lives. Details still need to be worked out
on the non-profit organization maintaining the farm and paying the
taxes, and a firm condition is that should the property not be
maintained it will revert to the city. The non-profit would have a
board consisting of Council �nembers (1/3) and residents (2/3).
Responding to a question as to who makes the determination as to
what maintenance is needed, Administrator Lawell stated that if the
judgment of the non-profit is not suitable to the city or the financing
is not suitable, it would become city-owned property, but while Mr.
Burow lives on the property, the life estate would still be in force.
Once the non-profit is in full control, the city would have the ability
to secure the property and do whatever it wishes with it.
Acting Mayor Smith stated that Council must address the question
of whether the non-profit will be able to function as Council wishes
while Mr. Burows is still a resident.
City Attorney Hart stated that much progress has been made but
there are a significant number of questions over what permitted
activities there would be during Mr. Burow's life, etc. He suggested
that the draft agreement be prepared for Council's review to reflect
all of the concerns which have been raised.
Administrator Lawell stated that the matter was brought to Council
tonight so that Council can review the current terms. He explained
that preliminary Council acceptance of the terms is needed before
legal counsel can be directed to prepare the necessary easements,
agreements and covenants for Council consideration. He stated that
the initial write-down payment ($55,000), which must be analyzed
in terms of the overall budget, will be an item for discussion at
Council's 1995 budget workshop.
Acting Mayor Smith stated that she has been a member of a
commission that was a non-profit, and a problem arose because there
r
� ' Page No. 4087
• � � . July 5, 1994 �
was some question that the governing body took part m the creation
of the non-profit. She felt that it may be possible that the non-profit
will have to be formed individually without city assistance.
. Administrator Lawell responded that he will look into the question.
� Councilmember Krebsbach moved to direct the City�Attorney to
prepare and/or modify the draft agreements, easemerits and
covenants necessary for the Council to formally consider approval of
this proposal and to direct staff to schedule the item for discussion as
part of the 1995 budget review process. �

ARCHERY AT FRIBNDLY
MARSH PARR
Acting Chair Damberg introduced Commiasion members, staff and
guest. Mrs. Janet Schrankler, of 2350 Apache Street, stated
that the City has a nice archery range at Friendly Marsh Park
with one draw back that there is no regulatory signage. She
atated there is no indication that this is an archery range
other than the existence of the bales. Mrs. Schrankler stated
her husband, herself and their daughter enjoy using this range
and that she had called about the use of the range at some
point in the past and had not been told there were any
restrictions regarding the use of the range by minors. Mrs.
Schrankler stated her sixteen year old daughter� learned
archery under their supervision and that this summer her and
her daughter went to use the archery range and it �had been
burned down and not replaced.
Mrs. Schrankler stated she had just now found out th�

any where in the City of Mendota Heights. Mrs. Sc

Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated that Section 5 of
Ordinance No. 909 prohibits minors from discharging any
firearms, sling shot, bow and arrow, spring gun or the like
whether accompanied by his parent or guardian or otherwise.
Commissioner Kleinglass stated he feels this Ordinance is
inappropriate. Damberg asked Parks Project Manager Rullander
to su.mmarize the costs for vandalism that has occurred at this
archery range this summer. Kullander stated that
approximately $750 from the maintenance budget has been spent
to fix the a�chery range after three vandalism incidents this
summer. He stated it has not always been expensive to
ma.intain the archery range every year but this summer it has
been burned down three times. Mrs. Schrankler stated she has
seen hunters practicing with bows and arrows at this site with
their own targets.
Damberg inquired about the Police Department's opinion of the
archery range. Batchelder stated the Police Chief has
indicated that they prefer not to have the discharge of these
types of weapons in the City. Damberg stated that perhaps the
City Council needs to address this Ordinance.
Kullander stated that because of previous vandaliam incidents,
more formal support structures were put up last summer so that
the hay bales would be better designed and perhaps treated
with more respect. Mrs. Schrankler stated they have used the
archery range during the summer in the early morning and that
they occasionally see other archers at this facility. She
stated the majority of the time they have the facility to
themselves and that on all occasions everyone has been
respectful, cautious and safety minded. Mrs. Schrankler
stated it was a real benefit to have this equipment in their
neighborhood and that they prefer not to travel to use their
archery equipment. Parks Project Manager itullander stated
that the archery range sees an increased level of activity in
the months prior to the deer hunting season.
Commissioner Libra stated his concern regarding the archery
range is that in the past he has used the bike trail and as
you come over the hill and enter the flat area where the
archery range is�you have no warning that you are coming upon
an archery range. Libra stated that, at a minimum there
should be regulatory signage and signage warning people on the
trail that they are approaching an, archery range. Libra
stated when he has observed people using the archery range it
appears they are being safety minded. Kullander stated the
trail is on State property and that the City maintains the
trail and that the State will not allow .the City to pave the
trail.

Admini�trative Assistant Batehelder introduced Joni�Giese as
the Landscape Architect under con�.ract with the Gity Council
to do �.he design work for North Kensington Park. Nl�. Giese
began by provid.ing a background and overview of Mendota
Parks and Recreation Commission
July 12, 1994
Page 4
Heights and its existing park system. This overview included
a discussion of existing parks, nearby golf courses, schools
and open space, and drainage patterns in the watershed area.
Ms. Giese stated the water that exists on the site is at the
top of the watershed which eventually empties into the
Mississippi River through Valley Creek. Ms. Giese stated that
currently there is a lot of algae and some smell associated
with it in this pond. Giese stated the new residents in this
area have grass down to the edge of the pond and there is a
good possibi�ity that heavy use of nutrients and fertilizer by
the Association is causing additional algae growth. Giese
stated that water is cleansed by ponds and marshes as it works
its way through the watershed and she would like to use this
in designing Kensington Park.
Ms. Giese described this area from a neighborhood perspective
and stated there are a lot of ponds in this immediate area.
She then displayed a map showing how many people have direct
access to water with properties charted that have access or do
not have access to water. Ms . Giese described the road system
in the area including major arterials and collector streets.
She stated Huber Drive and Mendota Heights Road are the two
major collector streets in this area and that they intersect
at this park. She stated a large percentage of people in this
area see the park on a daily basis and a big question that
should be answered by the design of the park is what do we
want to communicate to the people who see this park.
Ms. Giese described the existing conditions including property
lines, soil conditions, ground water levels and described the
existing vegetation in the area. Ms. Giese described the
limitationa existing in North Rensington Park including the
power line easement, pipeline easement and mature vegetation,
including oak trees, that she does not wish to disturb.
Ms. Giese stated the townhouses that border North Kensington
Park all front away from the park with their backyards being
adjacent to the park. She stated it is difficult to tell
where the park ends and where the backyards begin. She
described that all entrances to the park and the existing
topography draw you into the park and that this speaks well
for use as a gathering area. She described the knoll in the
southern portion of the park that separates North and South
Kensington Park.
Ms. Giese stated three concepts she is about to present are
aggressive concepts and have been designed to generate ideas
and discussion. She stated the first concept is titled The
Movement Concept and this is based on the philosophy that the
existing site currently is used for the movement of energy
Parks and Recreation Commission
July 12, 1994 �
Page 5
(gas and electric lines), the movement of water�and the
movement of people in the trail system. Giese stated that
philosophically we are a mobile society and that this�park can
be� designed as a place to reconcile that movement with a
gathering area. E
, Ms. Giese stated the NSP easement could be planted �with low
level hawthorne trees to provide a buffer between the yards
; and the public park. She stated benches would be designed in
a fashion to,act as a porch for residents in the townhomes.
Ms. Giese stated this movement concept shows the po

� Giese demonstrated that this first concept also has the lawn
segmented into three terraces with gardens and open .grass
; spaces. Under this concept design the roof of the existing
, building (US West building) would be extended to have a
. covered picnic and shelter area.
Ms. Giese introduced the second concept titled Formal Garden
, Concept. Giese stated the location of this park is in the
� very heart of this neighborhood and that this concept�is based
on creating a place that is the center of the neighborhood and
' a gathering area. She stated people enjoy flowers and flower
beds but do not have time for this so a formal garden� concept
, could be created in this park. She stated this concept
� creates a place of existence and imposes order on the site.
� She stated this design also creates a place of civic pride and
� would include perennial flowers, terraces to the wetlands and
wetland vegetation in formal plantings. Giese described the
garden layout with four gazebos at the corners and �an axis
mundi at the heart of the garden. Giese explained that the
, axis mundi is a center piece at the heart of the garden that
would be a granite piece that would be available from the
stone pile at Acacia Cemetery. She stated this plan also uses
granite as support poles for the gazebos and granite�pillars
' to mark the boundaries of the formal garden. This concept
includes an open space area in the southern portion of the
park. E

Ms. Giese described the third concept titled The Backyard
Concept. Giese stated she asked herself what goes on in a
backyard to come up with this design. She stated backyards
usually include a senae of privacy with nooks and crannies
where someone can sit and read a book or enjoy animals and
nature. Giese explained that under this concept, the pond is
divided into three ponds in a linear fashion and that the path
systems would bring people to a gazebo in the center of these
pondse
The Backyard Concept would include lower growing trees near
the residential areas and provide entrances with gardens into
the park system. Thia concept would include wildflower
gardens with an open flexible grass area in the southern
portion of the park. Ms. Giese stated the trees and plantings
that would be used with this concept would be able to handle
the wet conditions around the pond system.
Commissioner Rleinglass inquired about the price differences
between the three concepts. Ms. Giese responded that all the
concepts can be modified to be in the price range budgeted for
North Kensington Park. Acting Chair Damberg felt the Formal
Garden Concept would be the most expensive and inquired if
these pond reconstructions are affordable. Ms. Giese
responded yes the ponds can be designed and explained the
drainage on the pond site as being from the south to the north
and showed the locations of storm water pipea that discharge
water into this pond area.
Commissioner Libra inquired about the roof structure on the
pavilion and if it could be extended to cover a picnic area.
Libra stated he feels this is a good idea and use of existing
resources.
In response to an inquiry from the Commission, Administrative
Assistant Batchelder explained the intended process for this
park design. Batchelder stated the concept plans would be
considered by the Commission tonight and by the City Council
next week and following the Council's review, final plans for
construction and plantings would be presented to the Parks
Commission at their August meeting for a formal recommendation
to the City Council.
The Parks Commission discussed the Formal Garden Concept plans
for a structure. Ms. Giese explained�that granite block would
be used to support a trellis roof with ivy that would grow on
this. The Commission discussed the shelter area and having a

ma.intenance perennials. The Commission discussed providing
flower beds and gardens for residents of the area to maintain.
Rullander stated that currently Victoria Highlands has a
wildflower area maintained by a resident and the City Hall
sign is maintained by the Garden Club.
Acting Chair Damberg inquired about using oaks verses
evergreens. Ms. Giese stated her design is based on the fact
that a canopy as provided by oak trees is more desired than
permanent screening as provided by evergreena. She stated you
want to maintain visibility into the park.
Commissioner Linnell stated that he finds the Movement Concept
interesting but that he feela the Backyard Concept might be
preferable. Linnell stated the Formal Garden Concept appears
to be high maintenance and too formal. Linnell stated he
prefers the Backyard Concept with the idea of incorporating
the stone pieces as ahown in the Formal Garden Concept.
Commissioner Linnell stated that perhaps the stone could be
used in a fashion deaigned to connect the south and north park
and lead you into the park from the aouth.
Commissioner Libra stated he likes all of the concepts that
have been demonstrated tonight but that he prefers the
Backyard Concept. Libra stated he feels this has been an area
of intense development that needs a more pasaive use park and
feels that the Backyard Concept addresses this best. Libra
stated there is no formal parking in this area and that
therefore a more passive park is desired. Libra stated he
likes the idea of having more trails to access the park from
the townhouse area. He stated he feels the Backyard Concept
fits the site most appropriately but he would also like to see
use of the stone included perhaps for gazebos or the gathering
area. Libra stated he feels this park should address the need
as a gathering area but the City needs to recognize that there
are picnic shelters and parking areas nearby at South
Kensington Park.
Ms. Giese described the congregating area with the Backyard
Concept with an elevated structure with some wood decking
around it overlooking the pond and that benches could be
accommodated in other areas of the park.
Commissioner Kleinglass moved that the Parks and Recreation
Commission endorse the Backyard Concept with the inclusion of
the comments by Commigsioners, including incorporating the
stone pieces, using the stone or other method to visually

Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated that at �the June
21, 1994 Council meeting, Councilmember Huber had requested
that the Parks Commission discuss the priorities for locations
of shelters in the City's park system and to� make a
recommendation on which park should be next to receive a
shelter. The Commission discussed the Capital Improvement
Plan which includes a shelter for Wentworth Park in�1995 and
proposes a shelter for Friendly Hills Park in 1996. The
Commission discussed the shelter/gathering area �for the
Backyard Concept which they had just endorsed. Ms. Giese
explained that her notion of a shelter in this area�was more
to provide shelter from the sun than the rain. She described
an elevated structure with a deck nearby the ponds at the
center of a trail system. Acting Chair Damberg stated she
prefers a gathering area verses a formalized pavi.lion or
shelter. Damberg mentioned she had recently seen copies of a
pergola (a structure designed to have a trellis as a roof with
ivy and vine to provide shelter from the sun). }
' The Commission felt that the priority for sheltez
� City's park system was appropriate with Wentwc
scheduled for 1995 and Friendly Hills Park scheduled
, The Commission was of the consensus that a shelter
Kensington Park appears to be appropriate for 1994
this is dependent on the costs which would be kno�

Commissioner Libra also notified staff that the play area at
South Kensington Park has standing water following rain
events.
NORTS URBAN TRPiIL
Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated that Dakota County
has completed their preliminary design work on the North Urban
Trail and has forwarded a copy of the draft plan to the City.
Batchelder stated Dakota County has incorporated our
suggestions and is avoiding the front yards along the Highway
110 Frontage Road. He stated the County is proposing a the
trail to be south of the Frontage Road within the highway
right-of-way. He stated the City had invited County staff to
appear at the June 19 City Council meeting to make a
presentation on the North Urban Trail that all Parks and
Recreation Commissioners are invited to attend this
presentation.
The Commisaion discussed issues regarding the North Urban
Trail. Acting Chair Damberg stated she feels the possibility
of providing a better landing for the Valley Park trail as it
approaches Dodd Road is an opportunity that should not be
missed. Commissioner Linnell stated he has three concerns as
follows:
1. The Marie Avenue underpass could be widened.
2. The trail should be widened, at County expense, through
Valley Park where it is easy to do so.
3. The City should advocate for an overpass at the Highway
110/149 intersection.
Parka Project Manager Rullander stated Dakota County has been
made aware that the City feels the County should bear the
burden of cost for widening of the trails at this time and not
in the future when it would be the City's obligation to do so
when maintenance is needed. Kullander stated the County felt
overpass at Highway 110/Highway 149 intersection would be the
type of improvement where an ISTEA Grant could be applied for
by the City with County support.
WENTDQORTH PARR PLAY EQIIIPM}3NT
Parks Proj ect Manager Kullander stated it is the City' s intent
to make the play equipment accessible at Wentworth Park so
that the City has a handicap accessible play structure north
of Highway 110. He stated this project had been approved in
Parks and Recreation Commission

cost not to exceed $17,OOOe Kullander stated at the last
Council meeting the Council had authorized him to seek bids
for that amount to make play equipment accessible at Wentworth

� Rullander stated he had a bid from Flanagan that meets this
, cost estimate, however, when he spoke to Earl Anderson, who
has supplied all our current play equipment, they liad come
back with an,expanded concept. �
Kullander showed the existing play structure and stated that
at the time of the referendum some of the old equipment had
, been kept in place but that new features had been added to
. replace old play equipment and that $20,000 had been spent in
the referendum to improve the existing play structure.
' Rullander described the new concept proposed by Earl Anderson
that would have an asphalt ramp connection from tYie trail
� system, a rubberized surface and bucket swing as well as
, transfer points and additional play facilitiea for an
estimated $18,573.
Kullander stated they also suggested a tiny tots addition for
$2,680 that would be accessible as well. Kullander stated
that Earl Anderson had analyzed the Wentworth Pa`rk play
equipment with regards to American with Disability FAct and
' consumer product safety guidelines. Kullander stat4ed that
some future repairs would be needed to meet these new
' standards. He stated that due to this possible rieed for

encouraged all Commissioners to pass the word along that
participation as volunteers or donors are needed and that they
should invite all their neighbors to attend and enjoy this

Batchelder stated the City Council had acknowledged the
Capital Improvement Plan and commended the Parks Commission
for their efforts in this matter. He stated that the 1994
park improvements that had been proposed were ratified by City
Council. He stated the City Council had passed an Ordinance
restricting parking along one side of Pueblo Lane across the

only.
Batchelder stated a City Target Issue is to have the Parks

� Firefighters removed the fixture, cut a hole into the ceiling and the� removed the
smoldering hazard Estimated dollar loss was $8,000.
Firefighters responded to a water flow alarm at Belmont Distributing in the�
Industrial Park. Upon azrival, firefighters encountered thick black smoke coming frora► the
, warehouse area. Crews made e,ntry and knocked down the fire. A oopy machine had
malfunctioned and started the fire. The building did have a sprinkler system which
dramatically helped oontain the fire. Estimated dollar loss was $2,000. �
The most significant fire occurred at 727 Spring Creek Circle. Firefighters�
encountered a fully involved structure fire during the early evening hours on June 19th.
The fire had started on the rear deck and progressed upward through the overhang on the
home. With wood deck and exterior of the house fully e.ngulfed in flames, fire extended
into the home and very quickly ea�gulfed the family room and upstairs bedrooms. 1Vleaidota
Heights firemen made the initial attack and then were complimented with help from Eagan
and Inver Grove Heights Fire Departments. Due to the heat of the day and the mtense fire,
resources from mutual aid were very much appreciated. The cause of the fire is presently
assumed to be related to a gas grill. Estimated dollar loss was $325,000. �
There were three vehicle fires during the month. Two on southbound 35E aon June
3rd with a estimated dollar loss of $500, and on June 28th with an estimated c�ollar loss of
$800; and one on northbound 35E with an estimated dollar loss of $1,500. j

SUHJECT: Sign Permit Approval for 2444 Enterprise Drive
(Old VIM Tenant Space)
� DISCIISSION
j Mr. Ronald Iannelli, Director of Manufacturing wi;th Water
� Heater Innovations, Inc., has submitted drawings for two�proposed
' signs. Both signs are proposed to be located on the south west
' face of the existing building. The largest proposed sign will
contain 15 square feet, the smaller aign will contain 1�4 square
. feet. (See attached drawings) Council should note that t�e letter
style will be the same as Mr. Iannelli's business card.
. RECOD�IENDATION
, According to the City's Zoning Ordinance, Industr
property allows a maximum sign square footage of 100 gg
per individual sign surface. Both signs would only con
square feet which is substantially less than the 100 squa�
allowed by Zoning Ordinance. I recommend that the Cit
; grant approval of the two signs as proposed.
� ACTION Ris4IIIRLD
� If Council wishes to implement the above recomme�
� motion should be passed authorizing the issuance of a s
j which would allow the installation of two signs at 2444

Dear Tom,
This letter is in reference to a new solvent storage addition Applied Coating
Technology would like to have approved by City Council. Cunently, we store
solvents in two sepazate areas of our facility. These storage areas account for 2,000
square feet. To improve safety and facilita.te production, we are looking at storing
these solvents in one centrally located area. This would involve building a new
2,300 square foot addition. It would be built to all applicable National Fire
Protection Association and Uniform Building Code standards. I have enclosed a
building permit application and a contractor list along with the building plans.
Thank you fur your consideration.
Sincerely,

Guy Kullander, Building Ma.nager
SUBJECTs Parking Lot Overlay and Enlargement at City
DISCIISSION
In 1993 Coun�il approved a request to overlay the upper and
lower parking lots at City Hall. Prior to beginning work the
'Police Department requested that three additional parking stalls be
built in the lower parking area. It was decided at that�time to
only overlay the upper lot in 1993 and to review the parki.�ng needs
of the Police and to locate the best area to increase the� size of
the lot if the expanaion was warranted.
The attached plan indicates a three stall enlargemen"t of the
,lot immediately adjacent to the existing three stall� outside
parking area next to the inside sally port parking stalls.
Funding for the overlay/maintenance of parking lots will come
from the City Hall Maintenance Fund. It was estimated that the
overlay.and enlargement would cost approximately $8,000 to $9,000.
� In addition to the curb and bituminous work, addit;
�will occur for moving trees, sprinkler relocation
restoration.
Four contractors were contacted and asked to submit
�for the overlay and parking expansion.

Dear Ms. Kadin:
� I am �,i7-it�g this 3etter to info�n you that the City Council of
Mendota Heighta is not able to offer.conceptual support of the
::; North IIrban Trail, until such•time as awre detaile are known about
locations, routes, connections and standards. Our City Council
� recognizes the potential of impacting the front yards of
; .residential properties in Mendota Heighte with new trails, or
" upgraded trails, and desires .more specifice before they will
endorse_this concept. �' .� •
-% The City�Council, at their�.January 18th meeting, apecifically
requested that I inquire if Ren:Horns;.of•Barton-Aschman, ia aware
; � of the �Mississippi National' River and Recreation Area (N�iRRA) plan
_ • prepared by. the • National Park Service •.�nd their plans for regional
. t'rails.:in this �area. ':�TRRA trail..plai�: should be coordinated with
� the Coiinty's.� regional • system: ' � ° " ' - "' �
�
�
�
The City of Mendota Heights has appreciated the opportunity to work
with Dakota County in exploring additional recreational trail
facilities to �serve the residents of our area. We look forward to
continuing�our cooperative efforts in this regard. We hope to
provide further input as Dakota County begins to determine more
specific designs for the various routes and connection points.

Dear Ms. Radin: '
As requested in your March 14, 2994 letter, the City of
Heigh�s has reviewed the tra.il ' rou�e alternatives for tl
Urban Trail, as presented 3.n the Location Alternatives doc
March 9, 1994 by your�cansultan,t at the Wentwarth Librar
our Park� and Recreation Commiasion and aur City Counc
reviewed these alteruatives,

r. Both
�il have
While our of�icial bodies agree with staff that the �iigbway li0
Frontage Road route appears.to be•.the most favorable route, their
agreement.to this alternative is from the perspective that��this is'
the least negative route•of���he three..alternatives tha� have been
explored.. ,. . .~.,- . . : ..�. . . - : .. .... ". „ . �. ' _. -. • . . : ' , ..':' '. . . } , .� .
Both �the City. ..Council. and �t�he.� Parks �and '.Recreation Co�ssion
strongly expressed the cancern that any disruptzon of front yards
for County regional trails would be unacceptable and would be
something that they could not suppar�. They suggested, that should
this trail be located along•front yards, that significant plPantings
and landscaping wou3d be necessary to minimize �he impacts.
Our City .Council suggested that locating the trail betwE
frontage road and Trt�nk Highway llt3 should be re-explore
possible trail location in order to avoid going through th1
yards of residen�.s along the frontage roa.d. ' R'he City Cow
also concerned about the level of bscycle traffic that wc
routed thraugh Valley Park �as the Cit� has already r+
numeraus complaints of bicycliste traveling too fast in th;
and frightening pedestrians.
, �
As previously canveyed, our City Council is unable to
conceptual. support for the North Urban Tra.il until such �t
more details are known about the specific lcr�ations and cann�
o��the trail and what impacts these choices may have.

Introduction
The need and justification for a regional trail in northern Dakota'Co�.nty has bE
assembled from a variety of different sources highlighted in this section. The cc
natural, physical, and cultural characteristics support its designation as a regio
use resource. Justification for its development and operation is established by t:

A summary of this justif`ication and supporting information follows.
�i.��nal. �ail Servace Area
Dakotia County's North Urban Regional �rail's primary service area are those communities
in which it is alzgned including �1�,[endota Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul.
�Iowever, substantial portions af northern L}akota County and Ramsey County will also
,benefit. Its secondary servi.ce area will likely include the Cities of St. Paul, Eagan, Inver
Grove Heights, Lilydale, Sunfish Lake, and Mendota. As shawn in Table 2.1, the 1�9t}
population. of the primary service area was about 50,000, and the secondary service area
amounted ta about 345,400 including St. Paul. According to Metrapaliian Council year 2010
population projections, the primary service area will be abaut 55,p00 and the secandary
service area aboui 3$0,000.
The geographic area and population potentially served by the Narth Urban Regianal Trail is
substantial. Benefitting ca�nmunities represent urban, mature suburban, and developing
suburban areas. I}emagraphics of these communities also vary representing yaunger
families, young adults, and seniar citizens. These characteristics suggest a wide variety of
li.kely trail users ranging from bicyclists to in-line skating to p�destrians.
�ereatian �`irends
Natianal and regional recreation trends continue to suggest increased trail use and strang
future inierest. A 198$ Department af Natural Resources (DNR} survey conducted as a part
of the State Outdoor Recreation Facility Adequacy Swrvey identified walking paths and
bicycle paths and trails ranking third and faurth as desired recreation facilities in the
metropolitan area. These same facilities ranked third and eighth, respectively, an a
statewide basis. That same survey suggested continuing increases in in,terest regarding
walking, hiking, and bicycling through the year 2000. The vast rnajority`of this recreation
participation accurs within one-haif mile af home, Therefore, the dense and increasing
population represented within the primary and secondary service areas suggest extensive
use of the North Urban �ail upan developmeni. Use f�gures will likely be xnoderate during
initial phases of develnpment, hawever, increasing use will accur as the trai.l becames fully
developed and interconnected with other e�risting and p3anned trai�,corridors.
Lacal cammunity park, apen space, and irail planning also suggesi interest in trail use. For
example, trails were cited as the most desired facility in a survey �of community residents
conducted durimg the Mendota �Ieights Park and 4gen Space System Plan completed 3n
1985. Sirnilar cammuruty a.nterest has been documented in both West St. Paul and Sauth St.
Paul. Park, apen space, and tra%1 p3aaani.ng within each af these communitias has
aggressively pursued trail develapment and endarses the cancept of a regional trail
connecting the cammunities.
Regianal Facilities
Development of the North Urban Regional'I�ail, will provide an important camponent to
interlinking regional facilities within the area. For example, the trail corridor will provide
an e£f`ective linkage between the Minnesota River Valley carridor and the Mississippi River

corridor. Each river corridor contains important regional resources existing and planned by
federal, state, and regional government. Specific regional open space elements that the
North Urban Regional trail will occur in close proximity to:
• Hidden Falls/Crosby Farm
� Lilydale/Harriet Island „
• Fort Snelling State Park
� Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
The North Urban Regionall�ail will also become an integral part of an extensive regional
trail system as other eristing and planned corridors are linked. Other regional trails or
systems that the North Urban Trail will contribute to include:
� Minnesota River Valley �ail Corridor
• Big Rivers �ail Corridor (along the Mississippi River at Lilydale)
� Northern Dakota County Regional �ail (along the Sou,th St. Paul riverfront)
� St. Paul Parkway and Boulevard System � '
� Minneapolis Parkway System (via improved Mendota Bridge)
• �,iture "rails to trails" corridors extending south into Eagan and Inver Grove Fieights
Local Park and Trail $vstem Access
System planni.ng completed for community park and trail elements verify the importance of
the North Urban �ail as an intercommunity corridor. The trail will int,�rconnect local
neighborhood, community, and recreational facilities. These connections are strengthened
by access from existing local trails servicing residential areas. The resulting system
recognizes the hierarchy between regional and local park recreation elements and the
system's contribution to adjacent communities and the region.
o:•:�;,
�ransportation Functions � -
�ansportation benefits will also result from development of the North Urban Regional �ail.
This benefit will result from improved access to schools, parks, shopping areas, and other
community facilities for area residents.
Specific benefiis and opportunities include:
Six schools occur in close proximity of the corridor
Residential linkages to the area's county library, city halls, and churches would occur
Improved access would exist to commercial corridors such as Robert Street as well as
neighborhood convenience centers •

In combination with existing local trails, the North Urban Regional �ail proides a network
for alternative transportation. -
3. PROJECT AREA
�
The project area in northern Dakota County is bordered on the south by TH 110 and on the
north, east and west by the Missis'sippi River. In this area, the Mississippi River Valley is
characterized by wide floodplain, wetlands with lakes and marshes, floodplain�terraces, and
high bluffs with steep slopes. The native landscape along the trail corridor has generally
been developed, with the exception of the parks identified on Figure 3.
The preferred trail corridor is 7.7 miles long, with 3.8 miles traversing park land, 3.2 miles
within public roadway right-of-way along residential or commercial frontage, and 0.7 miles
through public school property. Because the project area is substantially developed, a trail
corridor,that does not traverse areas with existing residentia� or commercial fr�ontage is not
feasible.
The corridor passes through the following public parks:
. . t ."
Lilydale-Harriet Island Regional Park
• Valley Park (Mendota Heights)
• Garlough Park (West St. Paul)
� • 1Viarthaler Park (West St. Paul)
� Thompson County Park (Dakota County)
� • Kaposia Park (South St. Paul)
a;` �t.
The corridor provides direct access to the following public facilit'ies:•�
Henry-Sibley High School
Garlough Elementary School
West St. Paul City Hall
Dakota County Northern Service Center
Wentworth Library
West St. Paul Sports Center (ball field Complex)
Proposed West St. Paul Golf Course Site
5
The proposed trail corridor must cross Robert Street and Lafayette Freeway. Robert Street
is a busy commercial corridor through West St. Paul with average daily traffic of about
29,000 vehicles. Lafayette freeway is a major arterial roadway with controlled access.
Currently, Dakota County is plaruung to develop regional tr.ails along the Mississippi River.
The proposed trail corridor connects with these regional trails.
4. FACILITY PLAN
Users
Expected users of the L�lorth Urban Regional �ail include pedestrians, bicycles, and skaters.
Where physically feasible, the trail will meet accessibility requirements for people with
disabilities.
�ail users will typically be from the residential areas surrounding the trail. Typical use will
be for access to area facilities and shorter recreational experiences. It is unlikely that this
trail will receive heavy use from people intending to traverse the entire length of the trail.
Other trails in the metropolitan area provide a longer continu�ous trail experience with fewer
interruptions.
AesiQm Criteria
Currently, there are no �specific design standards fc3r regional trails published or adopted by
Dakota County, the Metropolitan Council,lVlnDNR� or Mn/DOT. The Metropolitan Council
and Mn/DOT �are currently developing trail design guidelines. The trail will be developed in
conformance with current AASHTO, MnDNR, MnlDOT, and Metropolitan Couricil
guidelines. The requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act vv�.11 be met where
physically feasible. �'
Width and Clearance:
Generally, regional trails are being constructed in the metropolitan area with a minimum
treadway width of eight feet and two-foot shoulders. Ten feet is^���esirable minimum width
for new construction. Where physical constraints do not limit the width along the corridor,
additional trail width should be provided if heavy two-way use by different user types is
expected or experienced. �5rai1 width should be consistent within a given area.
Segments of the proposed trail will be located in fully developed areas with limited space
available for trail construction. In some areas, the existing eight-foot wide trails will be
used. In areas with adequate space, new trail will have a ten-foot minimum width and •
existing trails will eventually be widened to at least ten feet. Additional width may be
necessary if heavy multipurpose use is experienced.
Generally, the trail should be separated from existing roadways by at least six feet to allow
space for signs, mail boxes, and snow storage. Two-foot turfed shoulders and a three-foot
clear zone to fixed objects should be provided along the�trail�edges. In areas with limited

use
Generally, longitudinal slopes should not exceed 5 percent (5-foot rise over 100 �foot
distance). Where the trail traverses the river blu�'s to connect with the regional trails along
the Mississippi River, longitudinal slopes.of 10 percent for a distance of about one quarter
mile are necessary. �
Flat rest stops should be provided about every 200 feet along segments with slopes exceeding
five percent. Approaches to trail and roadway intersections should have slopes under 2
percent. � �
Design Speed:
Maximum design speed for bicycles and r.oller blades on the trail is 15 mph. Adequate
curvature and sight distance should be provided in accordance with AASHTO criteria to
meet the design speed. Due to physical constraints exceptions to the design spe�ed may be
necessary at specific locations. Design speed exceptions should be properly signed to warn
users. �
' •-,"
Signing and Lighting:
For the safety and convenience of the trail users the trail corridor should have a uniform
' system of signs and pavement markings. Guide signs and route markers should� be used to
' give information and identify the trail. �af�ic control signs and markings should be used to
� alert users of intersections, design exceptions, and regulatory requirements. �affic control
devices are also needed to alert motorists at trail crossings. �aff`ic control devices should
' conform with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform �affic Control Devices. �
Lighting should be provided at traiUroadway intersections and trailhead

.�e�nent 1--Lilvdale Road (CSAFI 451
Description:
This� segment connects to the proposed Dakota County Regional �ail--Big Rivers Segment
along the Mississippi River at ?�ilydale and the Lilydale-Harriet Island Regional Park. The
trail could be located along Lilydale Road.
Physical Features:
Topography of this segment is characterized by the Mississippi River bluff that rises about
90 feet above the flood,plain. Above the bluf�'s the native landscape consists of rolling terrain
with mixed hardwood forest and a variety of wetlands in the low areas.
Natiye soils identified by the Soil Conservation Service in the "Soil Survey of Dakota
County" include silt loam and sandy loam within the river floodplain, sandy loam on the
slopes above the floodplain and Copaston loam on the flatter upland area above the river
bluffs. All of these soils are moderately well drained with some being excessively well
drained. Most of the soils along this segment of the corridor have been disturbed by
development and can not be generally characterized. �
Land Use:
Area land use consists of a mix of residential, com�ercial, and industrial uses. The Lilydale
Yacht Club is located between the Chicago Northwestern railroad tracks and the Mississippi
River. Trunk Highway 13 passes over Lilydale Road. Development along TH 13 includes the
Lilydale Tennis Club, an off`ice building, an NSP natural gas facility, and retail businesses.
Opportunities a�d Constraints: � �r
This segment provides a trail link from Mendota Heights to the proposed Big Rivers �ail
and Harriet-Island regional park.
A long steep grade is required to traverse the river blufi Slopes•o�'about 10 percent for a
distance of about one-quarter mile are necessary. Flat rest stops sliould be provided along
this segment at about 200-foot intervals. .
Retaining wall will be necessary in some locations to create the trail bench along Lilydale
Road.
This segment will not be suitable for wheel chairs or skaters. Constructing a fully accessible
trail that traverses the Mississippi River Bluff's is not feasible.

�P�cnent 6--Garlough Park/Marthaler Park
Description:
This segment consists of existing walk and trail that connects the Marie Avenue segment
with �Marthaler Park near the West St. Paul City Hall on Wentworth Avenue. There is an
existing six-foot concrete walk along the east side of Charlton Street north of Marie Avenue
that borders Garlough Park and connects with Garlough Elementary School. Within
Garlough and Marthaler city parks there is existing trail segments.
Physical Features:
Topography of this seg�nent is characterized by rolling terrain and suburban development.
Native landscape exists within Garlough and Marthaler Parks, and consists of mixed
hardwood forest wetlands in low areas and park open space.
Native soils identified in the "Survey of Dakota County" are generally characterized as sandy
loam within the upland areas and silt loam within. the upland depressions. The sandy loam
soils are well drained. The silt loam is poorly drained. A large area of Garlough Park
consists of poorly drained soils. Soils disturbed by development can not be generally
characterized.
Land Use:
Area land use along bordering Garlough and Marthaler Park is generally residential. Open
space exists within the parks. The intersection of Wentworth Avenue and Humboldt Avenue
is located at the northeast corner of Marthaler Park. Land use along Wentworth Avenue is
mixed commercial and residential.
Opportunities and Constraints: � `�
Existing six-foot walk along Charlton Street north to Garlough Elementary School would
need to be widened or replaced to function as the trail. At the back of the existing sidewalk
there is a steep embankment that would require clearing and a wall to widen the walk away
from the street. =��>�,`
From Garlough Elementary School, there is an existing eight-foot trail that passes through a
wooded area of Garlough Park, and connects to Kraft Road.
The existing trail crosses Kraft Road at a mid-block location and connects with a trail
through Marthaler Park. The existing eight-foot trail passes through a wooded area of
Marthaler Park and connects with the parking lot and picnic shelter in Marthaler Park.
Existing facilities in Marthaler Park will be available to trail users. New facilities may be
requires to meet the needs of trail users.
A new trail needs to be developed from the Marthaler Park parking lot to the intersection of
Wentworth Avenue and Humboldt Avenue at the northeast corner of the park.

Descriptzon:
This segment consists of existing eight-foot trail along the west side of Oakdale Avenue from
Wentworth north to Thompson Avenue, and existing six-foot trail along the east side of
Oakdale Avenue from Thompson Avenue north to Emerson Avenue. The segment along the
west side of Oakdale Avenue crosses driveways for two single-family residences located just
north of Wentworth Avenue. North of these residences, the trail is located along open space
owned by West St. Paul that is the proposed site for a municipal golf course.
Physicat Features:
Topography of this segment is characterized by rolli.ng terrain and suburban commercial
development. The native landscape has been modified by construction of roadways and
buildings.
Native soils identif`ied in the "Survey of Dakota County" are generally characterized as sandy
loam within the upland areas and silt loam within the upland depressions and drainage
ways. The sandy loam soils are well drained. The silt loam i9s generally poorly drained.
Most of the soils along this segment of the corridor have been disturbed by development and
can not be generally characterized. -
Land Use:
Area land use along Oakdale Avenue is generally single family residential. The West St.
Paul Sports Center a ball field complex and proposed city golf course site are located along
Oakdale Avenue.
..-
Opportunities and Constraints:
Existing eight-foot trail along the west side of Oakdale Avenue �south of Thompson Avenue
can be used. �
The trail crosses Oakdale Avenue and Thompson Avenue at an i���rsection controlled by
stop signs.
The segment north of Thompson Avenue along the east side of Oakdale impacts the front
yards of seven homes. The trail crosses five driveways for these homes. The existing six-foot
trail needs to be widened to at least eight feet. The space between the trail and curb is
about 1.5 feet and is less than the minimum desirable width. The right-of-way behi.nd the
curb varies, so it is likely right-of-way acquisition is necessary at some properties to permit
trail construction.
Widening the existing trail along the east side of Oakdale Avenue would require temporary
easements. Vegetative screening and low retaining walls may be necessary to reduce
impacts to front yards.

Segment 10--Kanosia Park
Description:
This segment will provide a route through Kaposia Park, a large open space consisting of
mixed hardwood forest and open areas with park facilities. Parking, rest rooms, and picnic
facilities exist within the park. ,This segment could connect to the proposed Northern
Dakota County Regional �ail along the Mississippi riverfront if crossings of Concord Street
(TH 56) and the Chicago Northwestern railroad tracks are provided.
The trail route could be located along the top of Simon's ravine withi.n Kaposia Park and on
the east side of 19th Avenue from the ravine north to Butler Avenue. A long bridge across a
tributary ravine is nece$sary to connect the trail from the top of Simon's ravine to 19th
Avenue. •
The 19th Avenue segment will impact the front yard and driveway of only one home along
19th Avenue. This home is located about 50 feet behind the curb. The available right-of-way
width at this location is not known. This section also requires construction of a wall and
removal of large trees to fit the trail behind the 19th Avenue curb south of the home.
The trail could be routed along the south side of Butler Avenue from Concord Street if
retai.ning wall with fence were constructed to create a"bench" for the trail.
Alternate Route:
An alternate route near the channel along the bottom of the rauine provides d gradual slope.
However, bank movement and.erosion would be significant issues for trail design and
maintenance. Nineteenth Avenue crosses Simon's Ravine on a 50-foot high embankment.
This embankment blocks the trail route and presents a significant obstacle. A temporary
solution for the trail would be to prouide steps or a steep ramp with sw�tch backs for bikers to
walk to the top or bottom of the embankment. .
A permanent solution for a trail crossing of the 19th Auenue embankment may be provided if
a bridge is constructed for 19th Avenue over Simon's Ravine or a large culuert is constructed
through the embankment. The permanent solution requires cooper�tive agreements between
the agencies responsible for Simon's Ravine. The permanent trail route under 19th Avenue
near the bottom of Simon's Ravine provides a gradually sloped route to access the proposed
trailhead at Concord Street near the rauine.
Physical Features:
Topography of this segment is characterized by the native landscape of Kaposia Park, and
consists of rolling and steep terrain with mixed hardwood forest, wetlands in low areas, and
open areas near Lafayette Freeway. Simon's Ravine is a major drainageway that passes
through Kaposia Park. The ravine has steep hillsides and an active channel along its length.
Native soils identified in the "Survey of Dakota County" are generally characterized as sandy
loam within the upland areas and within the drainage ways. The •sandy loam soils are well
drained. Soils disturbed by development can not be generally characterized.

Proper signing should be used to warn trail users of steep grades. Signs� should limit
the use of these segments to bicycles and pedestrians. Flat rest stops will be �
provided at approximately 200-foot intervals. Z�ailhead facilities should be provided
at each end of these segments. �
• Impacts to private property will result from construction of the trail along Marie
Avenue, Oakdale Avenue, and 19th Avenue. The preferred corridor was� selected
because it minimizes the number of front yards disturbed by the trail. For yards that
are impacted vegetative screeni.ng and low retaining walls will be provided to reduce
impacts. • N I
� �ail operation and maintenance will require efforts from both the citiesj and Dakota
County. Cooperative agreements will be developed to clearly define operation and
maintenance responsibilities. _ � � �
� Project phasing is an important consideration. Segments of the trail
facilities will be developed as funding becomes available. Segments ;
developed to link the existing trail segments.
_ �.
Initial development will consist of link existing eight-foot wide trail :
Depending on the amount and type of use experienced, the trail may
widened in the future to safely accommodate all users.

, Generally the trail will be located within public parks and public right-of-way, �
exception of the Sibley High School segment. Ownership of the land where the t
could remain with the public agency that currently controls the right-of-way or

Pubiic Safety and Securitv
To provide public safety the trail will be monitored by Dakota County Park Patrol staff and
local law enforcement staff. An agreement between Dakota County and the municipalities
should be reached regarding provisions for law enforcement along the trail and at trail head
facilities.
The trail will be constructed in accordance with currerit design guidelines. Appropriate
traffic control devices will be used at all necessary locations along the trail. Lighting and
public telephones should be provided at key locations along the trail.
Stewardshig
Land ownership along the trail corridor will remain with the public agencies that currently
own the land. These agencies are responsible for the general care of the land under their
ownership. The trail corridor will.be maintained in accordance with the agreements
established between Dakota County and the municipalities. Site specific reforestation will
be necessary to restore areas disturbed by trail construction, provide privacy for adjacent
private property, and enhance the park environment along the trail.
Trail and Ri�ht-of-Way Maintenance
Maintenance of the trail will require on-going agency efforts. Agreements between Dakota
County and the municipalities will be necessary to define maintenance responsibilities.
Anticipated maintenance activities include the follo�ving items:
� Mowing along trail shoulders and trimming around sign posts.
� Clearing of brush and debris along trail.
. . �-
• �ash pick-up at irail heads. ��'
• Servicing portable toilets, lighting, and other trail head facilities.
� Replacing signs and pavement markings.
• Repairing pavement cracks.
� Repairing damage to trail.
• Snow plowing.
� �ail resurfacing.

Dear Ms. Radin:
As requested in your March 14, 1994 letter, the City of Mendota
Heights has reviewed the trail route alternatives for the North
Urban Trail, as presented in the Location Alternatives document on
March 9, 1994 by your consultant at the Wentworth Library. Both
our Parks and Recreation Commi.ssion and ou� City Council have
reviewed these alternatives.
While our offici.al bodies agree with staff that the Higbway 110
Frontage Road route appears.to be the most favorable route, their
agreement to this alternative is from,the perspective that this is
the least negative route•of the three:.alternatives that have been
explored. =• . • . . . . . , . .. _• . - �. • . • . • . • .. . , . . - .
Both the City Council and -the Parks and Recreation Commission
strongly expressed the concern that any disruption �qf front yards
for County regional trails would be unacceptable` and would be
something that they could not support. They suggested, that should
this trail be located along front yards, that significant plantings
and landscaping would be necessary to minimize the impacts.
Our City Council suggested that locating the•��;rail between the
frontage road and Trunk Highway 110 should be �e-explored as a
possible trail location in order to avoid going through the front
yards of residents along the frontage road. The City Council is
also concerned about the level of bicycle traffic that would be
routed through Valley Park as the City has already received
numerous complaints of bicyclists traveling too fast in this area
and frightening pedestrians.
As previously conveyed, our City Council is una.ble to offer
conceptual support for the North Urban Trail until such time as
more details are known about the specific locations and connections
of the trail and what i.mpacts these choices may have.

Dear Ms. Radin: �
I am t,�*-it� ng thiw ��tter to in�o� you that the �ity Council of
Mendata Heights is not able to offer.conceptual sugport af the
Narth Urban Trail, until such•time as mare details are kndwn about

recognizes the po�.ential of i.mpacting the front yards of
residential properties in Mendota �ieights �ith new trails, Qr
upgraded trails, and desires more specifics be£ore they will
endo=se.this concept. ' � �
The City Council, at their.Ja,u.uary 18th meeting, specifically
requested that I�inquire if Ken.Iiorns,,of Barton-Aschm:an, is aware
of the �Mississippi National' River and Recreation Area (I�Il�tRI2A) plan
�prepared by the:Natianal Park Service and their glans for regianal
t'rails. in this , area. NIN'RRA. trai,l plans should be coordinated with

The City af Mendota Heights has appreciated Ghe oppor�unity to work
with Dakota Caunty in e�loring additional ,recreatianal trail
�acilities to�serve the residents oi our area. We look forward to
continuing�our cooperative efforts in this regard. We hope to
provide further input a� Dakota County begins to determine more

Dear Mr. Forrest,
In response to Jack Ditmore's letter of December 3rd, I am sending
this letter to express once again this �ity's interest in the proposed
trail you now term the North Urban Trail. We believe the trail that Dakota
County constructed this year (the first new�`County trail in our city) was a
fine improvement, and that additional trail links are a good idea. Please
note our support of the North Urban Trail, in particular the segment that
we previously sent a 7etter of support for, in Thortipson Lake Park, and our
continued willingness to work with you regarding additional -s,egments.

;
, TO: Mayor, City Council and City Ad ' t .
, FROM: James E. D '
' Public Works or
' SUBJECT: Cohen - Private Storm Sewer Connection
DISCUSSION: "
' Mr. Philip Cohen and his neighbors the Pillas, Alts and Macys appeared before
Council on several occasions in the past to discuss Mr. Cohen's desire to extend a private
underground storm water lead through a public easement within their backyards. �No
resolution has ever been arrived at. The last time the issue was discussed was at the 7une 21,
1994 meeting where the following four options were considered:
� , 1. ` Pump the water back to the pond in the back yard.
�
, �
: This option was not selected for the following reasons:
,
' a. The water elevation of the pond is at a higher level than the basement
2.
;
;
;
�
�
and is the source or cause of Mr. Cohen's problem. Pump' `g his water
back to the pond would only create a"loop". �
Mr. Cohen daes not abut the pond and easements would need to be
obtained from other neighbors in order to accomplish this option.
Connect to the storm sewer in Huber Drive by following the rear
on the west.
This option was not selected for the following reasons:
of homes
a. This option has approximately the same length of pipe as Option 4��
however, it would be a more costly option because of the mature trees
� that would need to be removed, the extra depth of the pipe constructio:
�
and additional easements would be need to be acquired. �
. b.
;
� c.
This option would be more damaging to the environment of
because of the tree loss.
A whole new set of homeowners would need to be dealt
azea
' 3. : Connect to the storm sewer in Huber Drive by installing the pipe in the public
� �
street.
This option was not selected for the following reason:
No formal estimate had been arrived at for this option because it was easily
apparent that it would be a very costly option. The following estimate is now
presented:
Pipe costs
Manhole Costs
Street Work
Contingency/Incidentals
Engineering/Overhead
Total
$30,U00
4. Connect to storm sewer in Pond View Drive by traveling north through the
Pilla, Alt, and Macy easements (original proposal).
This altemate has not been selected because the affected homeowners have not
accepted the proposal. Some of the outstanding issues are; the amount and
duration of the escrow deposit and the City's unwillingness to undertake any
liability for the line.
We have suspected, and it has been stated several times during discussions on this
issue, that there are many residential sump pumps withia the City that drain into the sanitary
sewer. This is also very evident by the amount of sewage that the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission (MWCC) meters and charges the City for treating. The amount of
sewage metered can be 50 °6 ± higher than the amount of clean water metered. This extra
water in the sanitary sewer system is expensive for the City aad is a problem that we should
deai with in the future. The effluent from all these sumps that currently drain into the
sanitary sewer needs to be relocated, preferably into a storm sewer just as Mr. Cohen
proposes. I feel that these sumps directed into the City's sanitary sewer is a health, safety
and welfaze issue and therefore should be resolved by the City.
Drain tile connections to the storm sewer are common place and there is very litt1e, if
any, danger or problems associated with tliem. Mendota Heights has installed them at many
locations where there were areas of high ground water within the street and we have never
had any problems at an of these locations.
The Sanitary Sewer Comparison
Each home within Mendota Heights has a private service connection to the City's
sanitary sewer main in the street similar to what Mr. Cohen is proposing with the storm
sewer. Both types of lines aze non-pressurized and flow solely on the basis of gravity. If
and when there have been problems with these connections, it always affects the person who
is connected, not their neighbors. These sanitary services do occasionally get plugged,
usually with roots, and this back up then causes a problem for the homeowners who owns the
connection, not his neighbors. I expect that the same result would occur with a plugged
storm sewer connection.
RECOR�IlV�NDA�'IUN:
It appears ihat the homeowners involved in this case will never come to �
and tlaat the City will have to take the action to correct the problem. This is a l
and welfare issue and I recommend that the City undertake the liability for the �
ruptur�ng af tlus line so that the affected nieghbars can have a cornfort level wi
connection and hapefully an agreement can be arrived at to implement Option 4
;
Suggested tanguage change to the agreement ihat would autharize th
in and take actions to protect other affected homeowners:
12, In the event of a leak in, or rupture of any pige, or line located a
public easements or right-af-way wluch is a part of the praject, th
� shall im�mediately cause such pipe to be repaiared or replaced and �
any real property created by such %ak ar nipture to be repaired a
its former condition. If the Owners fail to da so withi.a five (5) d
, natice of such Ieak or rupture the City shall have the nght to caus
mentioned repairs ar restora.tion to be completed and the Owners
immediately on ciemand reimburse the City faar all costs, expenses
' incurred, or paid by , ar asserted .against, in connection therewith
ACTION REQUIRED:
Notices af this meeting have been sent to the four affected property aa
the issue �vith these affected property owners and then if Councii desires to in
recomumendation, approve the langvage for the City's liability assacia.ted with
constructian, add that language to the agreement {see attached} and authorize
Clerk to execute that agreement.
NOTE: . Also attached is the latest conespondence from Mr. Cohen.

June 29, 1
Doar Jim,
I finally have received some information from Schoell &
Madson regarding thoir experience wit6 similar draintile
systezns. Ia addition I asked tham to commont on putting tk
pipe under the cul de sac and street. I also spoke with Mr. i
Leonard Linton -- ho says tbat because it would parallel util
lines the contractors would noed to dig for about S00 ft, by ;
hand. Thoir increased liability would likely make it impossi
to find a contractor willing to take on tho project.
i
Please forward this to Mayor Mertensotto and distribute as
appropriate.

Dcar Mr. Cohen:
We arc responding ta your lctter of June 28,�994. Wo understand thgt the city has requested
information about the probabiiity of the draintile line freezing. This question was answered in lctter
addressed to Mr. Ciayton Ecklcs, City Engineer of M�ndota I leights dated Novcmber 19, �l �93. We
indicated that the inveri of ihe llne will be 4.9 to 7.9 fe�t below the exiscing ground surfaco. Frost
penetration is less in open ground and deeper under gavemcnts where snow is remaved. I3uriat of
wat�rmsin 7.5 feet below grade is standard in Minnesota to protect against freezing.
7he cicy of Oakdaie tequires the installaaon oP draintilc bchind tho curb nt low points in the sveet.
These pipes are connected to the storm sewers at the catch basins and are usually 3 to 4 feet below the
bround. We instatled several draintiles behind the cvrb in Oakdale in 1993, ia high moisture soils. Wc are
not awnrt of aay problems with thEse systems af�er going through a freEze-thaw cycle, These systems are
similar in fisnction to che line proposed for your property,
The city council asked iF che line eould run dawn the cul-dc-sac instead of crossing the neighbor's
back yards. There is not a storm sewer line in Pend view C.ircle or �long Aond View Drive bet�v�en Huber
qrive and Waters Edge Terracc. We refor you to tho drawin� prepared for the this proj�cc, which shows the
loe.a►tion of thc existing stornt scwer ia this arca. we did a qulck analysis ��' laying thc pipe alon� Pond
Vicw Terraca and Pond View Drive and cann�ciin� to the stosm s�wer atong �Tuber �rive, Th�re appaars to
be ample IIrado difference to allow instalting the pipe behind the curb, however there may be c�nflicts with
c;xistinb utilitie� thAt would nat b�comc apparcnt until consttuction started and the lines were cxposed,
Thcse canfliets may rtiakc this altcrnate unbuIldable. This roule is tonger and would require additlonal
restorat{on work as w�ll as more pipe. The constcuction and restoration costs for this alternative weuid be
considerably higher than crossin� backyards as proposed. Thc pot�atial for severing vr da�nabing
underground electric, telephone or natural �as lincs is gY�atec sinee this route parallels the curb most of the
way. 'Placoment in the paved part of the str�et would r�duee utility eonflicts but wouid increase the
construetion time and restoration costs sibnificantly. Most citiEs are reluctant to allow diggiag und�r the
street pavement eiccept in emer�encies since the pa�ches are oft�n tl�� first.point af failure of the pavemont

North Kensington Park - Discussion of Concept Design
Review of Neighborhood Meeting
On February 24, 1�94, the Parks and Recreation Commission
hosted a neighborhood meeting to eolicit ideae and suggestions from
residents in the area around North Reneington Park about the
development of thie park. It was a very positive meeting attended
by over 40 residente, eix children, five Parks and Rec
Com�nissioners., two Council membere, a Planning Commissioner and
staff .
City staff received 25 written comments and approximately one
dozen phone calls in addition to the comments received at the
neighborhood meeting. (Please aee attached.) It was not easy to
categorize all the commente, but the following unscientific polling
was taken:
�'ark II�e Prefereaces
Landscaping, beYms, plantings, treea
Tennis at Hagatrom=King
Gathering area/picnic tables
Passive, open park

' j � ,
BACKYARD CONCEPT
This design attempts to accommodate most closely the desires
expressed by the residents of this community. The driving force is
to design an extended "backyard" for the people living in the
townhouse development directly adjacent to the park. This design
attempts to accommodate the typical activities that occur in a
backyard in a"natural", vegetated environment, which provides a
sense of peacefulness and solitude. In addition, smaller, intima.te
areas are provided to encourage community gathering and
socializing.
One of the m�in features of this design is an open lawn area
that can be flexibly programmed for various passive activities and
lawn games such as croquet and boccie ball. The east edge of the
lawn is defined by a sweeping wildflower garden that provides color
in the warm months of the year and also provide wildlife habitat.
The east edge of the park is also defined by a massing of oak trees
which create a cognitive barrier between the public park and the
private yards that border it . Oak trees are used because they will
provide a natural extension of the oaks that currently exist in the
northeast corner of the park. The trunks of the trees provide a
cognitive border, yet the high canopy allows the residents visual
access into the park which will provide additional security for the
users of the park and hopefully deter some potential vandalism.
The other ma.in feature of the park is the reconfiguration of
the storm water detention pond. The pond receives runoff from the
surrounding roads and yards which contain excessive nutrients from
lawn fertilizers and toxins from automobile emi.ssions. By running
the storm water through the elongated ponds, an attempt is being
made to filter out some of these nutrients and sediments prior to
releasing the water into the larger watershed system. Besides
cleansing the water, these ponds will reacquaint people with the
natural processes associated with wetlands. These ponds will not
all be clear open water bodies, but instead, the water levels of
these ponds will fluxuate depending on the quantity of rain
received.
The pathways through the pond area is an elevated boardwalk
that allows wetland vegetation and habitat to remain undisturbed.
In the middle of these ponds is an eleva.ted deck and shelter which
allows people close viewing of the wildlife activity and a place to
get out of the direct sunlight. Wetland plantings surround three
sides of the ponds in order to provide a more intimate environment.
The plants will also start filtering the overland water flow before
it enters the pond system.
South of the lawn and pond areas, a line of trees are planted
that gently protrude into the park. These trees act as a
transition zone between the townhouse property and the park. The
protrusion is a physical indicator that the townhouse residents are
looking over the park and taking ownership over it. Small gardens
. ' k
�
� have been provided between the line of trees and the townhouse
property. These gardens could be perennial gardens� if the
townhouse community commits to maintaining them, or they could be
additional wildflower gardens that require minima.l maintenance once
they are established.
Finally, several paths move into�the park from the bownhouse
development to provide better access into the park and to formalize
the best pathways into the park.
To�summarize, this design attempts to create passive, smaller
;intimate areas within the park that respond to the natural
,ecological functioning of the siteo
�
a
FORMAL GARDEN CONCEPT
{The main move in this design is to provide a formal perennial
and wetland garden for the community. The location of North
Kensington Park within the southeast�corner of Mendota Heights,
along with the topography within and immediately surrounding the
park allows this park the unique opportunity to be the cognitive
and functional center of this neighborhood. This garden is meant
to provide a place to draw in the reaidents of the neighborhood so
they may gather and socialize. It's formal appearance is used to
create a sense of civic pride and neighborhood identity}. It also
provides an aesthetically pleasing place to stroll through and a
potential educational opportunity related to wetland plants.
Finally, since ancient times, humans have felt the need to mark
their place on eartfi. This marking claimed the area as their own
and also helped the community to orient and explain their
relationship to the larger world and cosmos. Through the use of
vertical elements of granite and sandstone from the old Ramsey
County Courthouse, this design attempts to help this community mark
its place and claim ownership over this park. These elements
create a connection to the earth's geologic history and the
community's cultural history, while providing a place that will be
enjoyed by future generations.

As you are aware, one track of the Dual-Track process
addresses ways to provide the needed airfield and terminal
capacity envisianed for the region at the current airport site.
The second track of the Dual-Track process is exploring the
construction of a new airpart iacility in sou�Ghern Dakota County
just weat and south of the City of Hastings,

Both prior studies had found that the preferred expansion
plan at MSP would include a new north/south runway approximately
parallel to Cedar Avenue on the west side of the airport
property, and a new termi.nal facility which would also be located
on the west side of the airport property. Neither studied ruled
out the possibility of the future addition of a new north
parallel runway, but such an addition was deemed unlikely to be
needed anytime prior to the year 2020, and at that point aviation
technology is expected to have advanced to a degree where air
noise would be a much less onerous community problem.
Later this month, the MAC intends to adopt for public review
a Draft Alternative Environmental Document regarding the Long
Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) for MSP which most probably will
continue to support the construction of a new north/south runway
over the construction of a new north parallel runway. The public
comment period will likely run from August 1 to October 1, 1994
with a public hearing date likely for September 8, 1994. Triis
LTCP for MSP will be brought before Council in the coming months
for your review and comment.
Regarding the airport relocation option, recently the need
for analyzing such a concept was thrown into doubt when U.S.
Representative James Oberstar stated that "(t)he future of the
Minneapolis international airport is going to be right where it
is." Rep. Oberstar's comments we made before a gathering of
travel executives sponsored by Northwestern Business Travel and
were reported in the June 9, 1994 edition of MSP Airport News. A
copy of the full article is attached for your review.
DISCIISSION
Representative Oberstar's comments certainly shed new light
on the prospect of someday receiving airnoise relief through the
relocation of MSP. Coupled with the financial difficulties of
Northwest Airlines (which would be expected to pay a significant
portion of the costs associated with supporting a new airport
facility), and the recent airport construction debacle unfolding
in Denver, a decision by the Legislature in 1996 to pursue the
conatruction of a new MSP airport is extremely unlikely. �'
In response, our. City should prepare itself to become even
more aggressive in addressing the air noise pollution ema.nating
from MSP. Tn 1993 the Council established an Airport Relations
Commission and since its inception, the Commission has been
working towards the development of an Air Noise Plan of Action
which our community could follow in addressing this important
issue.
On June 16, 1994 �he City Council and Airpor� Re1at
Commission met in a joint workshop to discuss the draft
Plan of Action. Based on camments received that evening

The Honorable James Oberstar

Dear Representative Oberstar:
DRAFT
In the June�9, 1994 edition of the MSP Airport News a story
was published regarding your recent presentation to Northwestern
Business Travel. In that story you are quoted as saying that
"(t)he future of the Minneapolis international airport is going
to be right where it�is." This comment causea great concern to
me and my colleagues on the Mendota Heights City Council, and I
suspect others in the Twin Cities area feel si.milarly.
As you are aware, the Minneaota Legislature in 1983 adopted
the Metropolitan Airport Planning Act which established a Dual-
Track Airport Planning Process. Within this process, a
comprehensive and objective analysis of the concepts of expanding
or relocating Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport was set
into motion. Since that ti.me the Metropolitan Airports
Commission and the Metropol' an Council have jointly directed
this study and the process � on track to be completed in
accordance with the Legislat�vely determined time line.
�S
Given the magnitude of the public policy issue being
considered, our City is concerned that comments made by you which
clearly favor one option over the other will seriously undermine
the integrity and validity of the Dual-Track Airport Planning
Process. As the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Aviation,
your position on this issue has the potential to skew the results
of the study in a manner which may not be in the best public
interest of the region. As such, we are asking for a
clarification of your position on this matter.
You ahould know the City of Mendota Heights has to date f
expressly avoided taking an official position on whether to
expand the existing airport facility or to relocate. It is our
position that absent�the results of an objectively undertaken
study designed to identify and quantify the economic, societal,
and environmental impacts of both options, it is not prudent to •
prematurely foreclose either option. Given the importance of the
airport to the long term economic security of the region, we
would hope that you would concur with this opinion.

"The future of the Minneapolis international airport is going to be right

That verdict came from U.S. Rep. James Oberstar two years after
Northwest Airlines President John Dasburg hinted at virtually the same
decision at the same forum.

B usiness Travel, the 8th DistrictIron Range
Democrat, who chairs the powerful House
subcommittee on aviadon, quipped that he
had told his somedme-ally, Republican
Gov. Ame Carlson:
"Governor, if this state rolls another
Red-E mix truck—pours anothercubic yard
of concrete—south of the Twin Cides this
God-damn state's gonna tilt!"
It was a recenfly-arrived Dasburg in
1992 who had caudoned against building a
new airport at presenG �
He fielded the question from John Noble,
chairman of Northwestern B usiness Travel.
Constructing a multi-billion-dollar in-
ternadonal airport near Hastings, some 30
miles southeastofMinneapolis already has
cost the state millians of dollars in site-
selection planning and feasibility studies.
Some say a new airport here would cost up
to $10 billion.
Oberstar's remark drew applause at the
meedng, but could hardly have pleased
advocates of a new airport—mainly those
citizens affected by aviadon noise in south
Minneapolis and nearby suburbs.
The State Legislature will make the
ultimate decision on whether to build a new
airport or whether to upgrade and expand
MSP at its present site. That decision is
scheduled for 1997. But with powers such
as Oberstar and Dasburg voicing concerns
a new-airport site at present appears to
have an uphill struggle.
Added to these pressures has been the
experience in Denver where a new interna-
donal airport was scheduled to open half a
year ago. The delays have been so massive
and &equentthatan opening nowis labeled
as "indefinite," while Denver's coffers aze
hemonhaging to the tune of a miliion dol-
lars a day in interest rate payments alone.
Oberstar also pooh-poohed the nation
of a privately-owned air traffic conuol
system to replace the Federal Aviadon
Administradon. He likened it to allowing
the drug industry to police itself without
the Federal Drug Administradon.
Obe�star also noted that a$15 million
training center for airport firefghters will
be dedicated in Duluth in July and that it
will be state-of-the-art in crash-fire-rescue
training and research.

During the discussions with the neighbors at the public hearing, more and more

GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCIDURES
The following are general priaciples, policies and procedures applicable to all types of
improvement: ��
1. Project costs shall include the cost of all necessary construction work required to
accomplish the improvement, plus engineering, legal, financing, easement acquisition and
contingency costs.
2. Assessable costs are project costs minus the City and County share and other credits.
MSA fuads will not be credited to offset assessments as they will be utilized in a revenue
pool fund to offset total reconstruction program costs.
3. Special assessments will be levied as soon as practical. Normally this will be within one
year after completion of the pmje�t.
4. Publicly owned properties, including but not limited to municipal building sites, schools,
parks, County, State aad Federal building sites, but not iacluding public streets and
alleys, are regarded as being assessable on the same basis as if such property were
, privately owned.
5. Revenue sources for these types of improvements will be many, including, but not limited
to assessments, MSA Fuads, infrastructure replacement funds and general tax levies.

Determining Assessment Method to Use
1.
Front Footage A�ssessment - The front footage assessment method will
generally be used on all multiple land use projects as per I the City's
adopted assessu�ent policy. That is, if an impmvement project affects
parcels that are not zoned similarly the front footage method will generally
be used. � i
�
2. Unit Asses.smeni - Where a pmject affects parcels which are all zoned
sic�iilarly or part of a multi-unit development, the Unit Assessment method
may be applied.
3. Area Assessment - Area assessment m� be used for storm sewer
improvements. This may be nec�ssary for pmjects where the storm sewer
is inst�tlled for reasons other than just elimination af ditches.
If necessary or desirable to achieve equitable distribution of assessments, #he City
Caancil may adopt alternative methads for calcalating assessments consistent with
the City's adapted assessment policy.
D. Amount of Assessments
1. Rehabilitated Rural Streets - Rtxral stareets tha.t are rehabilitated or are
reconstructed as a rural section shall be financed 1{� 3� tbrough
assessments to the abut�ing praperties. .As rural street sections are not
eonsidered desirable, no City funding assistance shall be available.
2. Upgraded Rurai Streeis - It is the City desire to upgrade xvral street
sections to urban street sections where possible. Therefore when a rural
street is scheduled for an improvement, apgrading to urban design will be
the objective unless otherwise dete.r�mined by the City Council. In making
such a detea�mination the City Gauncil may consider a petition from
property owners to perpeLua.te a xural street.
The City will finance �p tu SQ 9b af the tatal �aro,�ect cost through the
Infrastructure R�placement Fund for an upgrade pmject. The affected
P�rtY owners will be assessed the cost of the storm sewer Pipe, the new
curb, and a portion of the street reconstxuctioa cost.
3. Rehabilitated Urban Str+eets - For str�etss that are urban design, the City
shall finance SO � of rehabilitation cost�.

4. Reconstructed Urban Streets - When an urbaa street is �recanstructe�i all
of the reconstcuction costs shall be assessed to the abutting P�P��Y
owaers. The City will finance 509b of that portion of the project that
c�u1d be classified as rehabilitation {the final lift of blacktop}.
5. Preventive Mainienance - The City shall perfarm routine and regu[ar

Frontage Road Name Request
DISC�JSSION: '
Attached is a letter of request from Mr. 7oe Perron to change the name �
new Mn/DOT frontage roads to "Rue de Perron".
The frontage roads involved aze part of a number of new frontage roads
' road way changes that are now taking place as part of the Mn/DOT Mendota In
project. From past experience in trying to name frontage roads, I feel that the �
. not be hasty ia naming them and should allow input and discussion on proposed
� from all affected parkies before a decision is made. There are a number of new
roads that are being constructed as part of this project and we may as well cons;
them now in a comprehensive fashion.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that we acknowledge Mr. Perron's recommendation for a
frontage road name and determine a course of action for considering and nami
� of the various roadways affected by the Mendota Interchange project.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to implement the recommendation they should aclrnowle
Penon's suggested frontage road name and determine a course of action for esta�
names for�all the new frontage roads and existing City streets (i.e. existing Perro;
now be two short cul-de-sacs, a promise was made to Acacia Cemetery for renan
Boulevard, old Highway 13 will no longer by Highway 13, will it still be Sibley
, Highway?). � �

Dear Mendota Heights City Council Members,
Re: Petition �'or a street name
I talked with the Minnesota Highway Department
informed that the authority to name �.he new Highway 55
road lies with the Mendota Heights Ci�y Council. In 1ig
fact of the Perron fami3y's long-time presence an Highw
because the present Perron Road has been reduced �o a me
the map, it would be appropriate to attach the name Perr
new road. To usher in a new era in this way would be t
the Mendota Heights residents of an era now past and t�
family�which boasts many descendants. Below is a short
.the many Perrons who have lived on or near Highway 55.
At 2372 Highway 55 Adolph and Mary Ann Perron z
children in the late 280Q's and ear3y 1900's. In later y
of �heir descendan�s, Joseph Adolph and Margaret O'Cc►nn�
resided at 2366, One block north on the east side oi Hi�
now 2314, was Jenny Perron Letendre who raised her 30 ch.
the site. Behind the old schaol at the far end of the :
Pilot KKrn►ob lived xenry Joseph and Clara Perran. Bill
� Perron Mulvihil raised a family across from Larson :
Gearge and Arthur Perran had homes alongside Acacia drive.
� them wa� Mike and Florence Perron Kennedy and �.he 12 chil�
that unian.
In 1925, Joseph A. and Margaret Perron were living i
across the street from St. Peter's Cemetery when on the 3t
. May, Decora�ion Day at the time, T was born. I have in
article tha�t lists some af the work I have dane over the
�ome of the awards I have received but I am making this

ae Perran never forgets.
(t was nearly 50 years ago that
Perron was an army medic in
Europe during Wor#d War li, when he
assisted chose wha needed immediate
hefp. And since retuming home fiom the
war, the Mendota Heights resident has
provided help for war, veterans on the
homefront.
Perron, 67, has been active in honoring
American war veterans and fighting for
tt�eir rights. He is a membec c�f the VFW
American Legion, AMVEi�, and Disabted
"1 don't ihink 1'm
being generaus.
I,�ust do it because
somebodr� �tas got
t0 C�O I�. "
- �Ine Perron
Veterans. He was a past commander of
the VFl�! Post in Mendota. And each year
he said he travels ta Washingtan, D,C. ta
tobby on behatf of vetecans. "
Another way Penon honors veterans is
through blood dor►ation. Ne recruits btoad
donors and drives them to the Veteran's
Administration Hospitat in Minneapolis.
He also gives blood himself once every
eight weeks. ,PeRon r�ecendy received his
12-ga!!an pir�, which signif`�es that he has
donated 2 2 gatlons of blood. "One pint at
a time," he sa�tt.
Besides recruiting blaod danors and
giving btoad himseif, Perron honors his
couniry through his membership in the
color guard. He has organized the graup
ta line up at veterans' funerats and fire a
21-gun salute. On Memoraa! �Day, he has
been in charge of a color guard march
through the streets oF Mendota ta four
local cemeteries in honor of war veterans
wha have died. Perron atso dces 8ag cere-
monies at schools.
it is important to honar vekerans, he
� ' . .� . . -
said. "It's just� something that ['ve be
daing," said Perron, a stateside reser.
duc�ing the Korean War. "They k�
America free. We had to clefend what
thaught was right, i'm Fiot on ti�e flag."
Another way Perron gives of his tim�
through firearm saFety. He has tauc
firearm saFety ciasses ta interested sf
dents for 22 years and just received
award for his� efforts fram the sta
Department of Natural Resources. Pern
estimates he has taught about 84Q st
dents during that time. "1t's for their ou
safery," he said. #
. A more sedate hobby Pecron has
gardening. Among what graws in h
one-acre vegetable garden are tomatoe:
rhubarb, horseradish and peanuts. But tF.
prc►duce is nat fo� sate.
"I don't sell $14 worth of produce
year," Percon said. "t give it atl away."
According ta �Pastar Kevin Ctintan c
St, Peter's Church where Perron is a
usher, Perron sametimes pulls up in hi
truck and gives away vegetabtes t
parishioners and othets who happen to !�
at the church.
"i would say he's a good parish'rone
who daes what he can to heip out ever;
now and then," Clinton said. "Joe seem�
to be quite generous along Ehase f ines
Ne's very much a part of his parish."
8orn in Mend'ota, the Cretin HigF
Scfioa[ student tived in a home in frani of
St Peter's near the Mendota Bridge. He
even claims he was the first baby to crass
the bridge befae it was finished. Ne now
lives on the property he said his grandfa-
ther bought from Henry Sibley, the .state
of NSinnesots's first govemor.
What sarne people consider generosity,
however, is nothing �specia! to Perrort.
"i don't think Prri being generous," he
said. "1 just think `that it's something (
enjoy doing. I just ;do it because some-
body has got to do i#�" �
