determination wili be made by the MAC, not the air carriers. Beaty informed
the Commission that the Coalition disagrees with Mr. Salmen's approach to
this issue. The first set of decisions related to establishing NADDs were
made by the air carriers, and the Coalition would like NWA to reevaluate the
decisions they have. already made relative to this issue.
Chair Beaty noted that the ANOMS report has not been submitted for
Commission review due to technical difficulties.
Administrator Lawell submitted the Operations and Complaint Summary for
July 1995. It was noted that 100 complaints were received from Mendota
Heights citizens. The Commission pointed out that 114 calls were received
from St. Paul citizens. Administrator Lawell reviewed a Complaint Summary
map. It was noted that the area south of the Curley Addition registered
over 10 complaints.
The Commission felt that this summer's complaints were low due to
weather conditions being hot and humid and that most people had their
windows closed with their air conditioning on. The Commission also
discussed the possibility of citizens getting tired of putting forth an effort in
complaining about air noise.
Administrator Lawell submitted a copy of the July 17, 1995 Special Meeting
Minutes of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The minutes noted that
improvements of 5300 million were made at Denver's Stapleton after the
decision had been made to build a new airport and that these improvements
were critical to the continued operation of Stapleton. The minutes also
summarized discussion about the new Denver airport and that 80 major
contracts in the design area and 90 major contracts were involved in the
construction management. The entire project experienced 14,000 change
orders. It was noted that general airport revenue bonds were the major
funding source with the first issue in 1989.
The Commission acknowledged receipt of the July 13, 1995 MASAC
Operations Committee minutes. The Commission discussed a letter of
request from the City of Eagan's Airport Relations Commission asking for
flight track analysis for operations southeast of MSP for the weekends of
April 29-30 and May 6-7. It was noted that the first weekend had
extremely loud aircraft noise while the second weekend was quiet. The City
of Eagan is interested in an analysis of these two weekends in terms of
compliance with current corridor boundaries and gate analysis. The City of
Eagan asked the MAC to discuss conditions of those weekends with the
FAA to determine operations or weather conditions which caused the
2
�
difference in noise on the eastern edge of the Eagan.
The Commission discussed requesting from the MASAC Operati
Committee a special report comparing huskitted and non huskitt
flight paths over the City of Mendota Heights. Administrator La

SOAR's presentation concluded by having the County Commission
represents the Hastings area present a resolution which would forr
declare that Dakota County is opposed to a new airport and the ve
land banking for the future. Lawell explained that representatives �
northern Dakota County cities were able to convince the other
commissioners.that this topic requires further discussion prior to th
taking a formal position.

m the
County
Dakota County Physical Development Committee meeting. He stated that
the Commission should spend time discussing the City's position before
appearing before the County Board on September 26th.
With respect to long term lobbying efforts, Chair Beaty stated that the
Commission should consider taking a position on whether the airport should
stay or be moved. He stated that Mendota Heights' real frustration is the
air noise issue. Beaty suggested that the City consider being in favor of
moving the airport unless specific terms are met such as narrowing the
existing corridor and equitable distribution noise.
The Commission discussed the County's concern for selective land banking
and commercial land banking.
Commissioner Surrisi inquired if the City is aware of the community's
opinion on whether the airport should stay or be moved. She stated that a
number of Mendota Heights residents have moved to this community due to
the proximity of the airport. Commissioner Beaty stated that a survey could
be conducted but that he is concerned about uninformed opinions and that
the community needs to be educated more about the air noise problem.
Administrator Lawell explained that the City has conducted surveys in the
past on other non-airport related topics. Commissioners Surrisi and Olsen
agreed that a survey may prove useful.
Chair Beaty stated that if the airport stays in place, we need to know how
the community of Mendota Heights be protected from air noise.
Administrator Lawell reviewed biographical information on key legislators
who are involved in transportation matters. Specifically, legislators who are
involved on the House Transportation and Transit Committee, the Senate
Transportation and Public Transit Committee and the Senate Transportation
and Public Transit Finance Division Committee. Chair Beaty noted that there
are several out state committee members. The Commission discussed the
possibility of hiring a professional lobbyist. Chair Beaty suggested that the
City Council consider pursuing a professional lobbyist who specializes in
transportation issues. Commissioner Olsen suggested that the NDCARC
should become involved and should be the organization to pursue a
professional lobbyist. He stated that a common position amongst the Cities
makes for a better stand. Commissioner Surrisi concurred. Chair Beaty
stated that the Cities of Sunfish Lake and Inver Grove Heights may be close
to Mendota Heights' stand on moving the airport.
The Commission suggested that if the airport stays, then the following
4
should occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Shrink corridor as new technology permits.
Equitable distribution of noise
NAPD standards, better use of Stage III aircraft
Nighttime standards
Define corridor boundaries and implement fines for noise
Move general aircraft to reliever airport
Not construct third parallel runway until 2015
Commissioner Surrisi wondered if the MAC is of the opinion that the airport
will never be moved. She also stated that some people believe th�t in the
future, people will be traveling less due to increased technology. I
Commissioner Surrisi stated that the airport will probably have to e moved
and that if that airport does stay, then we will have to live with it. She
stated that she is convinced that the MAC cannot meet our conditions.
Chair Beaty stated that the City should try its best to require that t�ese
conditions be met and that the media should be informed.
The Commission discussed that by modifying the corridor dep;
procedures, overflights would be limited over populated areas.
The Commission discussed including other surrounding� City interes�ts and
not just focusing on Mendota Heights interests. �
In response to a request from the Commission, Administrator Lawe�l stated
he would get a progress report on the mediation process and expe `ses from
Metropolitan Council staff member Nacho Dias. I
The Commission discussed how the City needs to be more assertiv�e in
dealing with the inequitable distribution of noise and that the City eeds to
be more specific in letting the MAC know that Mendota Heights is�+eceivin�
the brunt of the air noise. I
The Commission discussed better use of the corridor during non pe
Chair Beaty suggested that non peak hours be defined as 10:30 p.i

The Commission discussed noise abatement departure procedures and how
Stage 3 aircraft will help minimize the noise impact on populated areas. The
Commission discussed implementing nighttime restrictions and how fines
could be incorporated if the restrictions are not adhered to by the airlines.
Commissioner Olsen stated that he does not want to see a growth in
nighttime procedures. The Commission was of the consensus that Stage 2
aircraft should not be allowed to fly during nighttime operations.
Commissioner Olsen stated that the airport should not stay if the north
parallel runway is to someday be constructed. He stated that a north
parallel runway should not be considered until the capacity on the
north/south runway is maximized.

Heinsch distributed a revenue and expenditures handout showing all of the
individual programs and comparing them to their status in 1994. Heinsch
highlighted the new programs including Build-a-Bird-House, Natural Wonders
Program, Junior Golf League, Women's Golf League, Senior Golf League and
an additional softball league that had been held in 1995. Heinsch stated
that recreation program revenue had gone from S 14,456 in 1994 to
$26,611.50 in 1995.
Heinsch stated that park reservations had significantly increased in 1995
and that many of our shelters and other park facilities were heavily booked
this past summer. Heinsch stated that Mendakota Park is heavily reserved
and almost every weekend and quite a few week nights throughout the
summer are reserved at this location. Heinsch stated that park reservations
are time intensive. She stated that park reservation revenue had increased
from 5570 in 1994 to 51,385 in 1995.
The Commission discussed Women's and Senior's Golf Leagues and the
possibility of offering those on a different day or merging that program with
West St. Paul in o�der to increase attendance. The Commission discussed
other options for the golf programs such as evening leagues and other golf
courses besides the Par 3. Chair Spicer inquired why so much revenues had
been collected on adult softball. Heinsch stated that this is a result of non-
resident fees that are being paid to the program. Heinsch stated no costs
for maintenance of the ballfields have been figured into the league
expenditures. She stated this includes chalking and weekend field
preparation that sometimes occurs with tournaments.
The Commission discussed the Summer Adventure Program. The
Commission discussed the Nature Camp that had been canceled due to the
lack of participants in 1995. Heinsch stated that instructor fees and
supplies would not have been covered by the number of registrants and
therefore this program was not held. The Commission discussed whether
some programs are worth doing, whether all of the fees cover the costs.
Batchelder stated it is the City's intent to have all programs be user fee
based.
Commissioner Linnell suggested that a downhill ski club would be a good
idea and stated that many ski areas will give group rates for twenty or more
skiers and that a program could be set up where people provide their own
transportation to the ski area but are able to get group rates because it is
done as a City program.
Commissioner Norton stated she would like the City to look into providing
�a
cross cauntry ski lessons including ski skating which is becoming
popular. Gommissioner Norton stated the County has trail groomi�
equipment and that the City should laok into cutting our own trail;
they can be groomed by the County during the winter time. Nortc

Kullander stated the City Council has asked the Parks and Recreation
Commission and Planning Commission to review this proposed trail. At their
first meeting in November, the City Council would consider a resolution for
making application to MnDOT before December 1 st for a cooperative
agreement to build and fund this trail. -
Kullander described the preliminary route and layout of the trail plan
including a traffic light at South Plaza Drive and trails on both sides of Dodd
Road in some places. Kullander described the trail from Marie Avenue to
Wagon Wheel Trail.
The Commission discussed how this new plan would cross Highway 110 at
Dodd Road. Kullander stated there would be a safety button for lights and
there is an island half way across. Kullander stated a tunnel had been
suggested but it was determined that it would be extremely expense.
Kullander explained the culvert extension that would allow the trail to be
widened as it approaches Highway 110 along Dodd Road.
Commissioner Liberacki stated he does not feel a traffic light is warranted at
South Plaza Drive based on the traffic numbers. Kullander stated that at
South Plaza Drive, Dodd Road is like crossing a four lane highway. He
stated he feels a light is warranted and that the traffic should be slowed
down to 35 mile per hour to provide a safe crossing.
The Commission discussed approving the conceptual plan as presented and
making application to MnDOT. The Commission discussed the preliminary
trail layout from South Plaza Drive to Highway 110 and discussed routing
bicycle traffic around the center. Kullander stated staff would explore this
option.
Commissioner Kleinglass moved that the Parks and Recreation Commission
recommends supporf for the conceptual plan for the Dodd Road trail
improvements.
Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. �
AYES: 6

The Commission discussed the approximate cost for the Dodd Road trail
improvements and the possibility of a pedestrian bridge. Commissioners
Linnell and Norton stated their preference for a pedestrian bridge.
Commissioner Liberacki stated he feels the City should contact the golf
course about providing a trail easement along the west of Dodd Road along
4
:�
their property. The Commission discussed having a trail along the
course property verses a traffic light at South Plaza Qrive. Kullanc
that pedestrians will still need to cross Dodd Road in order to conr
Plaza with Mendakota Park. Commissioner Liberacki felt #hat #he t

Liberacki stated he does not believe a traffic light at South Piaza D
warranted due to low traffic volumes along South Plaza Drive and
feels a traii on both sides of the road woutd be a better situation.
The Commission stated they would like to review the #inat plan
formally approved by both the City and MnDOT.

Linnell stated that some improvements to Valley Park may be desirable
including the rounding off of some corners, widening certain sections and
changing the grade in certain areas. Linnell stated that these improvements
are possible to enhance the trail section without harming or impacting the
park or changing the wooded nature of the park.
Parks Project Manager Kullander reported on roofing bids for the shelters in
Valley and Roger's Park and stated City staff would be rebidding with the
current wood shingles to be replaced with asphalt shingles on these
buildings. Kullander stated if the bids are over the 51,500 that are
budgeted for these items that the City may find the money for #he roofing
by not doing the concrete bleacher pads in the park. The Parks and
Recreation Commission discussed the Big Rivers Trail Plan. Commissioner
Linnell stated he feels that Dakota County should landscape the islands in
the parking lot instead of having a concrete island.
Commissioner Linnell distributed a preliminary schematic design for the new
middle school to be located at Huber Drive and Mendota Heights Road. The
Commission discussed the need for additional fields and gymnasium space
at this middle school and directed staff to make the school district aware of
the City's need for additional recreation facilities. The Commission
discussed linking this site to the City's existing trail system.

SUBJECT: Approval to Designate Thanksgiving Day Holidays
DISCUSSION
City Hall is scheduled to be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday,
November 23, 1995. In addition to normal holidays, non-union City empt
provided annually with two additional '"floating" holidays, ane of which th
Cauncil has the option of designating on a speci�c date. Several City Hal
employees have asked that we consider establishing Friday, November 2�
as a fixed holiday, thereby praviding a four day weekend.
City

close City Hall on Friday, November 24th, we wilt ask our local newspapelrs to
help advertise the fact that we will be ctosed that day. �
Our union employees in the Police and Public Works Departments a(re not
affected by this designation, and will work their normal duty hours. �

Based on the desire of our employees, and the cost-neutral nature f the
request, 1 recommend that Council officially establisn Friday, Navember 2, 1995
as a fixed holiday as per our City Personnel Code. �
ACTION REQUIRED

MCTO Information Regarding Transit Options
DISCUSSION
Council is aware that transit service to Mendota Heights has been
historically poor, this in spite of the large tax levy applied to the resident:
Mendota Heights by the Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO)
organization. The 1995 transit tax to be paid by Mendota Heights residei
part of the "Other" category on their property tax bill) is approximately S�
For this contribution, Mendota Heights receives limited service from only
routes-- Routes 29 and 5.
Earlier this year the MCTO was hit severely with budget cuts imp
the Minnesota Legislature. About the same time, we were made aware
plans to entirely eliminate Bus Route 29. Partly in response to our testii
delivered to MCTO at a public hearing held June 12, 1995, the decision
eliminate Route 29 was postponed until early 1996.
Since the postponement, staff has been working with MCTO Tra
Scott Thompson to analyze our transit needs and devise various altern�
arrangements. Attached please find a letter from Mr. Thompson which
number of possible options. Council is being asked to provide input on
options at this time.
ACTION REQUIRED
Council should review the attached information from the MCTO, a
offer any comments or suggestions they may have. This input will then
forwarded to the MCTO for further consideration. A final decision on thi
needs to be made by the end of 1996, in time for implementation by Ma
1996.

Mendota. Heights, MN 55118
Dear Mr. Lawell:
Since my August 1, 1995 letter to you, MCTO staff have developed a list of possible
route and schedule options to replace St. Paul Route 29 in Mendota. Heights in Mazch
1996. The following is a summary of route and schedule alternatives.
• Alternative # 1- Would involve the extension of St. Paul Route 5 that terminates at
Mendota. Plaza (see attached map). This route could be extended from Mendota. Plaza
following Dodd Road to Wagon Wheel Trail to Le�ngton Avenue to Victoria Avenue
to Marie Avenue to Dodd Road to Mendota Road. This would provide service to the
far end of current Route 29 in Mendota Heights. As you may recall, this segment was
added to Route 29 in 1991 when Minnesota Valley Route 72 was eliminated in
Mendota Heights. The extended Route 5 would provide peak period only service with
trips to and from downtown St. Paul serving major work start and end times.
• Altemative # 2- E�ends Route 7 from its current southern extent at Smith. Avenue
and Wentworth. (See attached map.) The new route would originate at Mendota.
Plaza following Dodd Road to Wagon Wheel Trail to Lexington Avenue to Victoria
Avenue to Marie Avenue to Dodd Road to Wentworth Avenue to Smith Avenue to
downtown St. Paul. The advantage of this option as compared to the Route 5 option is
that more of Dodd Road would be served. It is also somewhat faster and more direct
route to downtown St. Paul. The extended Route 7 would operate during peak times
only, again serving major work start and end times. This is the preferred option of
MCTO Planning staff.

• Alternative # 3- Would provide a circulator route to the southwest area o
Heights which would then connect to a Minnesota Valley Route 48 expre
this scenario selected Route 48 express buses from Eagan would e�i
Highway 110. (See enclosed map.) These buses-could then connect to th
Heights circulator route at a location along Highway 110, possibly Mendo
City Hall or the Mendota Plaza Park and Ride lot. Route 48 buses could the

Dodd Road to Smith Avenue to West 7th Street to downtown St. Paul. The
of operating selected Route 48 buses via Dodd Road is that it would prov:
service to the current Route 29. This routing would result in a slight increa;
time for Minnesota Valley customers. However, this plan could be
beneficial to Minnesota Valley and the MCTO due to the fact that Roi
selected trips that are poorly utilized and are high subsidy. Before offering
to you I have discussed the concept with Mike Abegg, Planner with the
Valley Transit Authority. He believes this proposal may have merit and
more detailed analysis of the route, schedule, and financial impacts. A1
MCTO staff envision an arrangement in which MCTO and Minnesota. Val
share revenue and operating costs.
All of the options discussed in this letter provide only peak period service. Ur.
the MCTO ridership in Mendota. Heights during off peak times and weeken�
appear to support fixed route bus service. Our experience is consisten

service that is appropriate for Mendota Heights a provider would need to be de�
Even though the MCTO is reducing and reshucturing service throughout our sE

could begin operation as soon as ne�ct fall 1996, when improvements to Hiawatha Avenue
are completed. Coincidentally, I recently received the enclosed customer request for this
type of service.
Finally, a vital element to provide the transit service proposed in this letter is the need for
a safe, secure and convenient place for buses to terminate as well as an area for pazk and
ride. As you know the MCTO is no longer allowed to turnazound and layover buses in
the Mendota. Plaza pazking lot. Unless the MCTO can reestablish an agreement with
Mendota. Plaza for the use of this property the service plan described in this letter may be
difficult to operate with success. The MCTO would greatly appreciate the assistance of
the City of Mendota. Heights in reestablishing an arrangement with the shopping center
management or establishing another location for bus layover and park and ride.
The timeline for the implementation of the new service plan is by March 23, 1996. This
requires that we make our decision on txiis by the end of the year. I would therefore
appreciate your review and comment as to how to proceed as soon as possible. I look
forward to further discussion with you on this matter.

Mr. Jay Engeswick

Eagan, MN 55123
Dear Mr, Engeswicic
Thank yau for your "Tells How We're Doing" card from September 6,1995. Your
comment is very timely as the MG"TO Service Planning and Scheduling department i;
considering the possibility af implemenCing a I1rlendota Heights to Downtown N�inne�
express route. We cwrrently operate a Route 95 wluch ariginates in West St Paul ar
follaws Higliway 52 to I-94 to Downtawn Minneapolis. Staff are cansidering the
possibility of re-rouCing this express route via Highway 110 to Hiawatha to Downto,
Minneapolis. By th%s route we cauld make stops along Highway 11U at selected loc,
One of the issues that has delayed the implementadon of�this plan is the fact that Hia�
Avenue is under recanstruction at this time. �The t�raffic delays caused by the reconst
activity could result in added travel time for the Route 95 as comgared to its current �
on I-94. However, once this•construcdon is completed staff believe this may be a vi
prapasat. The new express route cauld be implemented by fall of 1996.
I would welcome a call from you if you would like to discuss this issue further. I
reached at 349-7774.

DISCUSSION:
Bid results for landscape improvements were presented to Council on Octot
Only one bid was received for the installation of trees, shrubs, edging, etc. Counc
to rebid this portion of the project improvements and to bring back new bid results
Oetober 17, 1995.
Bid results will be available on 1�esday evening for Council review

Council further directed staff to research possible negative aspects ass

All the literature available on establishing natural landscape planting stress
years does require maintenance and that once established prairie giasses and wildf
require some seasonal maintenaace, perhaps two or three times per year. Balance
current maintenance level wluch is once every,.5-6 days or approximately 40-50 m
operations per year.
The landscape desiga for Ivy Park introduces native plantings of trees, shru
wildflowers requiring little maintenaace with the contemporary landscape that curn
this park. These plantings, which will cover 2/3 acre within a nine acre park, are
toward a more natural environment. The static water area of the storm pond is apF
of aa acre and the paved asphalt areas for parking, driveway, aad tennis courts cov
The remainder of the park consists of several varieties of deciduous and coniferous
turf areas requiring frequent mowing, ferkilizers, and herbicides.
I have contacted Mike Zens of the Landscape Arboretum, a staff inember a
Restoration, Inc., and the laadscape architect that designed the proposed planting.

Case No. 95-26: Conway - Variance to the Rear Yard Setback
Mr. aad Mrs. 7oha Conway, of 2288 Apache Street, appeared before the P1
Commission at their September 26, 1995 meeting and before the City Council at th�
5, 1995 meeting to request a 3.58 foot rear yard setback variance in order to con �
season porch addition. At both meetings, the next door neighbor to the rear, Mr.
Greenberg, of 756 Pontiac Place, has expressed his opposition to the granting of a
this pmposed porch. City Council continued the consideration of this request until
meeting on October 17, 1995 to allow the Council time to visit the site and further
the circumstaaces. (Please see attached Planner's Report and Application.)
Mr. Conway has submitted a letter to Mayor Mertensotto in which he outli�
statement of hardship and suggests a number of findings of fact for the approval of
yard setback variance he is requesting. Mr. Conway has aiso included letters from
addressing property values and from his builder discussing the hardship/variance is�
reasonable use of his property. (Please see attached October 10, 19951etter.)
RECOIVIlVIENDATION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to close the public hearing.
Planning Commission voted 6-1 (nay: Friel) to recommend that the City Council
rear yard setback variance of 3.58 feet, as requested on the proposed site plan, to
construction of a three season porch to within 26.42 feet of the rear property line.
ACTION REQUIRED
Meet with the applicant. If the City Council desires to implement the Plaiw
Commission's recommendation, they should pass a motion to approve a rear yard s
variance of 3.58 feet, as requested on the proposed site plan, tb allow construction

Dear Mayor Mertensotto,
We wish to thank you, your fellow members of the
City Council and the Planning Commisson for all the time
and consideration you have given to our variance request.
We are truly sorry this has not been resolved by this time.
Enclosed please find a letter from a reputable real
estate agent concerning the impact to the value of the
neighboring properties after an addi.tion such as our
proposed addition is completed on a piece of property.
Could we request, at this time, a member of Council to
inquire of a real estate agent of your choice what the
effective value of the Greeberg property would be?
Also see enclosed a letter from our builder who has
been quite patient with us.
We realize that we could eliminate a good portion of the
time involved in this case if we had signed Mr. Greenberg's
"variance agreement" when presented to us on Sept 24.
The ordinance requiring a 30 ft. setback is, we believe,
creating a hardship because of the unique lot size and location
of the house on the lot. This was done by a developer in the
late 50's. This ordinance denies reasonable use of our property.
Our proposed addition will blend into our house, will• look
like the original and will not alter the essential character
of the neighborhood that has seen so many of these types of
improvements.
we are, therefore, asking for a�minor variance of 3.58 ft.
e
.
We are, therefare, asking for a minor variance o� 3.58 ft.
to be granted.
As you know, we have an alternate 1es� desirable�plan
which wauld not require a variance. This plan would �ake a
few feet of the Eas� side af our garage to achieve ou
desired 14' X 14'parch. We are reluctant to da that f r the
�ollowing reasons: We would be 14' clo�er to our neig bor on
the South (Connally). Unlike �he Greenbergs, �he Con ollys
use their yard. They have a lovely deck behind their home.
aur garage would be shartened by 3' and we may need t build
a storage shed for storing lawn mower, snaw blower et . and
space between the front and rear of au�os would be li�ited.
we have never appeared before a City Council bef�re,
therefore we are no� aware of the procedure or protoc�l and
if we have over�tepped our rights ar put unduly reque�
upon the Council please accept our apo7.ogies. �

Jim Williams
Jack and Jan Conway
2288 Apache Lane
Mendota Heights
Dear Jack and Jan-
Oct. 9, 1995
I am writing this letter to you pertaining to the question of
your request from the City of Mendota Heights for a variance
of 3' to allow you to build a three season porch addition to
your home.
As a property owner and business person of Mendo�a Heights I
certainly would urge support for any proposal by homeowners
that would improve their property in a standard and
responsible manner. Three season porch / room additions are
one of the most sought after home improvements that builders
recieve requests for today. Real estate people indicate that
improvements of this type are a definite plus to the value of
your home.
My experience as a builder for the last 25 years has shown
that when requesting a variance for�a building project the
question usually revolves around two main issues, first is
there a hardship and secondly is this a reasonable request
considering the neighborhood and other similar projects.
I would address the second point first. Additions of this
type are going in all over Mendota Heights every day and in
fact there are several examples of this same project right in
the Friendly Hills neighborhood on corner lots that must have
been granted variances in the past. The design of adding the
room in the middle of the rear of your home off the existing
living room is a very logical design and will finish looking
like an original part of your home, and indeed will be an
asset not only to your home but also the neighborhood.
As to the question of hardship, I would point out that this
is certainly a reasonable project and that to prevent you
from doing this because you have the misfortune of owning a
corner lot that was approved for development years before the
current 30' rear yard restriction went into affect would
clearly have to be considered a hardship. As an aside, I
would also point out that, given what appeared to be a normal
set of circumstances, we both entered into a contract for
this improvement to your home, and concurrently with the
application for a building permit, trusses apd windows for
454-519��
the proje�t were order.ed (to the tune of $5,700) in the
of making the project move as quickly and smoothly as
possible so that you could start using your porch. It c
as a surprise to both of us that after the permit was
purchased we noted that we were asked to verify that inc
there was a minimum of 30' clearance to the rear. To be
required to supply a survey for a normal standard build'.
project is a hardship and of course if this variance is
granted the $5,700 for the windows and trusses that are
returnable goes way beyond the scope of hardship.
I would hope that in answering both the question of harc
and reasonable use of property that the City council of
Mendota Heights would act favorably upon our request fo�
variance as the planning commission saw fit to recommen<
approval.
Please let me know if I can help in any further way.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Conway,
I have looked at your plans for a 3-season porch
and also the surveyor's certificate showing the proposed
addition. I also physically looked at the site.
Regarding the impact of property values to the adjoin-
ing properties on the East and South, as well as generally
the immediate area, in my opinion there will be no negative
effect due to this addition as proposed, on the contrary,
I believe that this improvement on your property will enhance
property values in your neighborhood.
I hope I have eased your concern for your neighbors in
in this matter. Thank you for a" ' '
I remain .............
Sincere:

yard of the subject property faces the garage side of the adjacent home to the east.
Staff is aware that there are a number of porches, or additions in this neighborhood that received
similar vaciances. Some of these are: Case 9434, Gzilz residence, four foot rear yard setbacl� Case
91 37, Keithan residence, 2.4 foot rear yard setback variance; and Case 94-38, Skjerven residence,
twelve foot rear yard setback variance. The Friendly I�'ills neighborhood has been recognized in the
past as an area where home improvements are important to maintaining the quality of the
neighborhood and a certain amouat of latitude is understood to be necessary, especially on under
sized lots.
Because of the uttder sized lot and the corner lot coadifioa of the subject properly, a practical
difficulty exists wheu making normal home improvements. Because of the view from Pontiac Place
and neighbors, a mitigating el� caa be some sa�ening landscapin.g placed at the perimeter of the

Due to the posi�ion of our house on this lot and the dimensions of

reasons:

RE: Case No. 95-26: Conway - Variance
Dear Members of the Planning Commission:
Mrs. Greenberg and I are the owners of the property abutt�

to faur feet higher than the Greenberg lot. It is my beli
granting of the variance will adversely affect the value c

I was�i�� to start my discussion by letting you know that thi
not the continuation of a long standing disagreement betwe
neighbors. The Conways purchased their home and moved in
one year ago. I introduced myself to Mr. Conway in the fa
1994. It was a cordial, friendly meeting. I saw little a
Conways during the winter. In the spring of 1995 the Conw
I would periodically exchange greetings and have short
conversations. For a party at their home which was held a
month ago, at my suggestion I lent them a folding table an
several chairs. I have always considered that we were fri

The discussions between the Conways and me over the varian e have
been very civil. There has been no raising of voices, yel ing or
swearing. I hope and expect that the friendly neighborly
relationship will continue as long as either of us occupy ur
present homes.
Mrs. Greenberg and I are the original purchasers of our

Before picking that particular lot, I studied the Friendly
maps quite extensively. I finally settled upon my present
One of the consideration in my selection was that I wanted
as far from other residences as passible. For that reason
picked a lot where I would abut against the back.lot line �

Reference is made to Mendota Heights Ordiriance No.5.5(5), copy
enclosed. On the copy I have put the numbers 1 and 2.
Reference is made to my numeral 1 on 5.5(5) dealing with the
value of surrounding property. It is my belief that the granting
of the variance will unreasonably diminish the value of my home.
Reference is made to my numeral 2 on 5.5(5). I believe that the
granting of the variance will merelv serve as a aonvenience to
the applicant because it is not necessary to alleviate undue
�- hardship or difficulty. The Conways have owned this home for
approximately one year. They are mature people. This is not the
first home that they have owned. They could have anticipated
their needs for an addition and determined the set back
requirements prior to making the purchase. Their lot is level
and has no unusual surface features. Thus, the granting of the
variance is not necessary "to alleviate undue hardship or
difficulty."
Mrs. Greenberg and I value our privacy. To that end I planted
honey.suckle and Russian olive close to my west lot line, which
sep �tes my lot from the Conway lot. The Russian olive died of
old�ge and I had the honeysuckle removed when it developed the
branch end blight. Shortly thereafter I planted a variety of
other shrubs. I picked the varieties because they would
eventually grow tall and have fruit for birds in the winter.
onfortunately my shrubs are not yet tall enough to screen my lot
from the Conway residence.
I have presented to the Conways an agreement, a copy of which is
attached. The Conways have refused to sign it, principally�
because it would be binding upon future awners of their property.
In this case I believe that requirement is necessary. Their three
season porch will last many years. It will last much longer than
I will at my present age of 74. --
I would like the Conways to have the porch they desire provided
they agree to the enclosed agreement. That agreement should help
lessen my anticipated loss on sale. .
I do believe that the granting of the variance will lower the
value of my home. I have been advised that I might lose some
potential purchasers because of the variance.

RE: Case Na. 95-26: Conway - Variance
Dear Mayar and Gouncil Members:
Mrs. Greenberg and T are the owners of the praper�y abutt
lot line which is the back boundary of Conway's lat from
the variance is measured. Zt is my car�tention that the r
for variance shauld be denied b�cause "... the conditions
required for appraval do nat exist." Please see section
of Menda'�a Heights City Ordinances, copy enclo�ed.
LEGAL ARGUMENTS
���{�����
the
ch
est
.5{6}
There is no legal basis for gra�ting o� the variance. Re�erence
is made t�o Mendota Heights Ordinance 5.5(5), copy enclose� with
c3rcied numbers and underlining supplied. '
Circled numbers 2 and 3 af Ordinanae 5.5{5} will be discu
first. Circled number 1 states "... that the qranting of
application is necessary for the preservation and er�joyme
substantial praperty right of the app3ican�." Circled 3
"... that the granting of such variance wi11 not merely s
a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary ta allev
undue hardship or difficulty, ...". The granting of the
is not necessar� for the Conways to have a porch. The gr
af the variance will merely serve as a convenience to the
applicants. The applicants have na� shown any undue hard
undue difficuity. The appliaants plan ta build a parch
square feet. If the variance is denied they can still bu
porch behind their home af mare ihan 196 square feet. Th
applicants have made no showing of "undue hardship or
diffa.culty."
Reference is made to circled number 2 in Ordinance 5.5{5},
reads ".... Unreasonably diminish ar impair established pr
values in the surrounding area...". I have dis+cus5ed thi�
with several peaple who dea1. with residential real estate
their business. The conclusion reached is that the value
property would be diminished from $3,000 io $5,040 if the
variance is granted.

RE: Case No. 95-26: Conway - Variance
Page 2
No backyard variances have been granted in my immediate
neighborhood. Thus, if the variance is granted, the applicants'
porch will appear to be too close to our common lot line as
compared to other homes in the neighborhood.
The floor of the applicants' home is 4 feet 9 inches above the
ground level of my lot. The applicants' planned porch will have
windows on all three sides. Being so high and being 3.58 feet
closer to the common lot line would deprive the owners of my lot
of substantial privacy that they would have if the variance were
not granted.
Some argument has been made that I should not care if the
variance is granted because the porch will be opposite my garage.
That is not factual. If the variance is granted I will be able
_ to see the porch as soon as I step out of my garage or house from
the back doors. Also, the porch is visible from my entire
backyard.
Both items of diminished privacy and non-conformity to
neighborhood setbacks would reduce the value of my lot.
At the aqe of 74, I have begun to think about selling my home.
Someone may buy my home for the express propose of expanding the
living area into the garage. Thus windows would be put into the
long west wall of the garage looking out at the applicants' new
porch 3.58 feet closer than the normal required setback.
Russell and Marcia Haugen of 753 Pontiac Place, our neighbors
across the street, made such an expansion into their garage. My
garage is presently 10 feet from the lot line.
EQUITABLE ARGUMENTS
If you might think that the applicants would suffer a hardship if
the variance is not granted, please consider the following facts.
The applicants told the Planning Commission that they built a 10
foot wide porch onto their former home in St. Paul. Thus, 10
feet wide porch would not impose "undue hardship or (undue)
difficulty on them. They admit that they can live with a 10 feet
wide porch.
They also stated before the Planning Commission that, at the time
they purchased in Mendota Heights they wanted a porch on their
home. They purchased their present home in Mendota Heights about

have purchased a home where they could add a porch of the

Before picking that particular lot, I studied the Friendly

The equities of the situation are in our favor. Especially, it
would be inequitable to grant a variance which would lower the
value of the home of a long term resident shortly before they

In conclusion, on both legal and equitable grounds, the variance

The City has been approached by the local division of the Tuthill
which is considering the construction of a 25,000 square foot manufac

The site is located in the Tax Increment District and is an identifiec

detailed in the attached material. The present value of the future increm�
allowance for fiscal disparity and City administration is estimated to be al
$190,000 during the remaining life of the District.
The proposed site is zoned "I" - Industrial. At this point, staff has
a preliminary site plan that appears to conform with the Zoning Ordinan�
however, there may still be some unresolved issues regarding the ownei

The primary reason this matter is before the Council this evening i to
receive Council's input regarding the requested use of Tax Increment fina cing for
this project. It is proposed by the developer that "pay-as-you-go" (5185, �00) tax
increment benefits be paid on this project. This is similar to the TIF arran ements
previously approved for VGC Corporation and Lennox Industries. Further details of
the TIF request are included in the letter from Mr. Jiovanazzo and Mr. St inqas.
In keeping with Council's stated desire to be more involved in the early
stages of projects involving Tax Increment Financing, staff has suggested that
company representatives appear before Council on October 17th to preliminary

Dear Larry:
Thank you for meeting with me last week to discuss our plans to re
manufacturing facility to your city. Based on our conversation and
assistance I am hopeful we can obtain the financial assistance that
our project a reality. Let me take this opportunity to share with you, y
and city council members our plans and intentions.
National Rod Ends Inc. has been manufacturing rod ends and spherical
in Minnesota since 1985. Our products are sold and distributed worl
industrial distributors and OEMs. In July of 1994 National Rod E
acquired by and became the sixteenth division of the Tuthill Corpo
Hinsdale, Illinois.
Due to increased growth and future plans for expansion our current facil
not accommodate our needs. Our plans call for construction of a 25,000 :
foot office /manufacturing facility on a site large enough to allow us to ex�
60,000 square feet in the future.
National Rod Ends currently has 39 employees. Approximately one 1
professional, one third skilled laborers and one third unskilled. Most
employees live within a 10 mile radius of Mendota Heights and this is
important consideration of ours. Our payroll is in excess of one half
dollars per year. We anticipate this site and facility being able to suppor
125 total employees utilizing multiple shifts at a future date.

happening in Mendota Heights.
Tuthill is excited and anxious to become a member of your community and I am
looking forward to explaining in further detail our plans for growth at your next

SITBJECT: Four Way Stop �
Intersection of Keokuk Lane and Pagel Road
Job No. 9221
DISCUSSION:
�CtObeT li
A safety concern was expressed at the September 5, 1995 Friendly Hills A�
Hearing with regard to traffic control at the intersection of Pagel Road aad Keouk
All appmaches of this four way intersection are posted with stop signs, exce
southbound Pagel Road approach wluch is uacontrolled. Council directed staff to �
situation aad present a recommendation to the Couacil on this issue at the Septemb�
Council meeting. At that me�ting I made a recommendation to adopt aa ordinance
to establish a four way stop intersection at Keokuk Lane and Pagel Road based on ,
considerations. , � �
Council decided to delay action on that recommendation at that couacil
instead directed staff to solicit public comment on this issue before making its �
Notices requesting public comment on this issue were published in the Octob
Southwest Review, and the October 4, 1994 Sun Current Newspapers (see attached)
addition to these notices, a bulletia board message was displayed on cable TV charm
35. To this date, staff has received two comments on this issue. Bernard Friel, 75C
Lane, and James Losleben, 815 Hazel Court, both oppose creation of a four way sto
intersection of Pagel Road aad Keokuk Lane.
This intersection has functioned safely for a number of years under its curr�
regulatory sign configuration, and on that basis, there is reason to believe that this
history might continue. In spite of this intersection's past traffic safety record, I w
that pedestrians crossing this intersection as they travel within the paint striped wal
to Pagel Road would be safer with a four way stop at this location. I view this con
more of a pedestrian safety issue, than a traffic safety issue. The pedestrian lane st
not be installed until next year, and for that reason Council might want to consider
until that time to make a decision on this issue.

Subject: Pagel Road and Keokuk Stop Sign
Dear Mayor Mertensotto:
I read in the SUN Newspaper where you are considering a four-way stop
intersection at Pagel Road and Keol.-uk. As you lrnow, the present signing is a thre�
four-way stop sign.
ec I v�i� � 9�
at the
, not a
I believe that Mr. Meyer, on the comer of Pagel and Keokuk, is interes ed or has
commented about the need for a four-way stop. I would suggest that we need some law
enforcement on the existing three-way stop before any consideration be given to four-way
signing.
The problem is that the people coming out of Friendly Hills on Keokuk do not stop at the
comer of Keokuk and Pagel. Also, most people coming sauth off of Highway 149 on � Pagel are
speeding as they travel through the Keokuk/Pagel Road three-way stop sign laca ion. The
probiems outlined ahove would be solved with enforcement, not more stop signs.
Please be advised that I am strongly opposed to the intersection of Keokuk
becoming a four-way stop sign location.
Thank you for considering my input on this matter.

SUB�JECT: Colony Townhome Storm Water Improvement
Lilydale Storm Water Project No. 2(Colony Apartments)
Job No. 9406
DISCUSSION:
October
The Colony Townhomes are located on the bluff line of the Minaesota R
Lilydale. These townhomes have been troubled with storm water pmblems for :
and in the recent past large segments of the rock bluff have fallen off near them
their fouadations. The storm water that is conveyed to this area is from both M
and Lilydale, and therefore an intercommunity solution to the pmblem has been
goal within the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Plan.
The Colony Townhome storm water project is a joint project with the City
Mendota. Heights approved a Joint Powers Agreement with Lilydale pmviding for
construction at their September 6, 1994 meeting. The project has also been appm
Lower Minnesota River and Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Org
Accordi.ng to the terms of the 7oint Powers Agreement, Lilydale (represente
Engineering also the Lower Mississippi River WNiO's Engineer) has designed a sto
project to route storm water around the Colony townhomes and down a drop shaft i
existing railroad storm sewer below. Lilydale has contracted Barr Engineering to ;
construction observation, project. management, and oversee the project's completior
will also provide the up-front funding for this project, with Mendota Heights reimb
for its share once the work is completed. This procedure is similar to the Mayfield
Diversion Project where Mendota Heights designed and built the pmject, and invoic
for their share of the costs once all the final costs had been determined.
Bids were opened Thursday, September 21, 1995 for these public
bids were received as follows:

The low bidder, Lametti & Sons, Inc., is very familiar with this type of work having
completed several tunneling projects in the Metro area.
One condition of the 7oint Powers Agreement is that both cities approve the bid.
Lilydale accepted these bids (see Barr Engineering attachments) and adopted a resolution to
award this contract to Lametki and Sons, Inc., ia the amount of $185,706.50, at a special
Lilydale Council meeting held on October 2, 1995.
RECOr�IlVIENDATION•
I concur with Barr Engineering's recommendation that the bid be awarded to Lametti &
Sons, Inc. in the amount of $185,706.50, and that Mendota Heights grdnt Lilydale the
approval to execute a contract for the construction of these storm sewer improvements.
ACTION RF.QUIItED:
If Council desires to implement the recommendation they should pass a motion granting
Lilydale the appmval to accept the bid of Lametti & 5ons, Inc., and to execute a contract for
the construction of these storm sewer improvements.

The low bid, $187,706.50, is very close to the $184,440 presented as the construction co �t
(including contingencies) in my July 24, 1995 estimate of cost shares for this projec�t. If�the work ��
at the Dakota County trail is either elimi.nated or paid by Dakota County, the constructaon cost to
share among the principal parties will be reduced by $2,000, to $185,706.50. �
Lametti and Sons, the low bidder, is prepared to begin work promptly and would like to� complete
the project this fall. Lametti is familiar with tunneling� which is the do�*+�nant cost in e bid.
Given the uncertainties of construction pricing, I am not confident that a substantially ore
attractive bid would be received if the project were rebid nezi spring. �
I recommend that the bid be awarded to Lametti and Sons. The enclosed estimated pro�ect cost
and cost shares table is based on the Lametti bid, with no conti.ngencies. Various items on the cost
shares may change as the final agreements are reached. I have enclosed the July 24, 1 95
estimate as well, for comp'arison.
Please call if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: Wetland Replacement PXan Appraval
Mendakota Country Club
Pl�tnning. Case No. 95-16
I}ISCUSSI N:
The City of Mendota Heights is the Iacal gavernmentat unit (LGL� respons
admuustration of We Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) enacted by #he Minnesota
Legislature in 1993.
The purpose of the WCA is to achieve no net loss of existing wetlands, i
diversity of wetlands by restoring or enhancing diminished or drained wetlands,
ciirect or indirect impacts fmm acti�ities that destroy or dimuiish wetlands, and
wetlan.d values where avoidance is not feasible and prudent.
These Minnesota State Wetlands Rules regulate all draining or �iil'ting acti�
delineated wetlands except those under the jarisdiction of the Department of Natu
Resaurces. I�?Iany of the criteria. and gaals established far the protection of we�tla�
Minnesota WCA are closely related to the pmvisians cantained in. the Mendota H
Wetiand 4rdinauce. One key pmvision where #he WCA differs samewhat form 1
Wetlands Ordinance, which the City approved for this project at their August 1.5,
Cauncil meeting, is the regulation dealiiag with fill activities.
Tha WCA allaws the piacement af fill in a wetland as along as it does not
square feet. Prajects which fill more than 40Q square feet of a wetland must be r
ratio of twa acres of replaced wetland for each acre of wetland filleti (2:1).
The Mendakota Country Club grading project includes the placement af app�
3,QOQ square feet (Q.0'7 acres) of fill in this apgroximately 3U,UQ0 square foot (�.69
wetland (see attached). The Mendakota Country Club plan includes approximately '
square feet (0.90 acre) af replacement wetland. T�is ar+eaa far exceeds the b,00Q sq�a
(p.14 acre) 2 to 1 replacement ratio as required under the WCA.

There is a notification and public comment review procedure required under the WCA
for these replacement plan applications. A notice of these replacement plan applications are
published in the local legal newspaper, and the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) Monitor,
requesting public comment.
Replacement plaa applications are also mailed to the watershed management
organization, soil conservation disirict, Department of Natural Resources, and the Board of
Soil and Water Resources. All entities are given 30 days to comment on these applications.
The LGU has the authority after that time to approve or deny these replacement plans. The 30
day comment period for this plan application expired as of Qctober 13, 1995. The only
comments received came from Brian Watson of the Dakota County Soil and Water
Conservation District (see attached). .
RECOMIVV�NDATION•
Upon review of the replacement plan submitted by the Mendakota Country Club, and
consideration of the comments received by other interested parties, or the lack thereof, I
recommend that the City pass a motion approving the plan for the creation of 0.90 acres of
replacement wetland on the Mendakota Country Club in the Southeast Quarter of the 5outheast
Quarter of Section 26, Township 28 North, Range 23 West in the City of Mendota Heights,
Dakota County, Minnesota.
ACTION REQUIRED•
If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion approving the
plan for the creation of 0.90 acres of replacement wetland on the Mendakota Country Club in
the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 26, Township 28 North, Range 23
West in the City of Mendota Heights, Dakota County, Minnesota.

To Whom It May Concern:
Mendakota. Country Club, 2075 Mendakata Drive, Mendota Heights, has developed a
Pian far its golf caurse. The purpose of this ptan is to strengthen the golf caurse by co�
deficiencies of the initial design and construction. As with many older courses, Mend,
not designed by a golf course architect, and many of the most basic design principies t
course architecture were simply overlooked. Important features such as sa.f'ety, draina�
playability are missing within our initial layout.
The master pian process was spearheaded with a group of key individuals gathered fra
club's membership and staff. A reputable goif course architect, Craig Schreiner, was �
help implement professional design strategies. Together this team has focused on rele
course problems and produced what we feel are practical solutions. We keyed in on fi�
areas during the development of this plan: safety; maintenance; playability; shot value
aestlzetics. With the design work established, we wauld like to initiaie the first phase c
master plan by building a new par 3 golf hole on our property, located west of the Me�
Heights fire station, north of Mendakota Drive and east of our driving range {see grou
drainage plan). This will eventually become our #2 hole. Building this hole will give
nineteen hales and the iuxury of closing dawn any other hale for modifica#ions witho3
disrupting play for our golfing members and guests.
The existing site for this new hole is approximately 3.7 acres in size. A small wetland ;
appro�cimately 30,000 square £ee# lies within this area and is used as a detention pond.
cazried into this holding area by a 27" culvert from the west and a 36" culvert frorn the
The outflow is carried b� a 12" cuivert xunning south. The purpose of this pond area is

In terms of habitat, we know that the overall character of this wetland will change due to the fact
that we are converting an area which is sometimes dry, sometimes wet, or sometimes flooded
into a pond. However, we feel that the overall impact will be beneficial, as we create a wetland
environment which is considerably more stable and consistent. The water table "bounce" will be
less drastic and more controlled as we spread out the volume of incoming water over a much
greater area.
We plan to vegetate the west side of the pond with native grasses and wildflowers to re-establisli
nesting sites and cover. Any emergent vegetation which might re-establish itself near the pond's
edge will also help to naturalize the landscape. Thirty or more trees will also be planted in place
of the trees which were taken down during construction.
The pond's edge will be contoured using a 5 to 1 slope and silt fence will be used extensively
whenever potential erosion sites exist. Sod will also be used on slopes to limit erosion.
We would like to begin the construction process this October, finishing the pond and most of the
golf hole features before the first snowfall.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Respectfully Submitted,

planuing applic�ti.on by AT&T, included a i+equest that Council � the Planning
Commission to p�nepare an ordinance that would sp�ccifically add.ress future cellular t
req�ests. The Cowacil did not act on tlus r��uest by the Planning Commission durin

DtSGUSSICIN
` During cons�deration of a number of variance requests at the�r Sept+
26 � 1995 meeting, the Planning Cammission discussed the need for more
in the standards required for issuing a variance. Under the present C}rdina
there is a strict requirement for proaf of undue hardship or practical difficr.
order to grant a variance. Under this standard of "undue hardship", the gr
a variance must mean the properiy in question cannot be put to a reasona
if used under conditions attowed by the Ordirrance. TF�e hardship must ba
circumstances unique to the property, nat created by the landowner.
� Some members of the Planning Commission are concerned that vari
are ,being granted despite a lack af hardship. Many af these variances hai
or no impact on the essentiat character of the neighborhood and are reaso
requests. The Planning Commission wauld like the Ordinance to provide f
ftexibility in the consideration of these requests so that #he Qrdinance is c�
with the practice of variance approvats. The Planning Commissio� has rec
that City Council authorize a public hearing to amend Section 5.5 0# the Z
Ordinance to attow variances without hardships or practical difficulty whei

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the following
language be added to the Ordinance:
Where there is written consent, not to be defined as a lack of objection, by
all affected property owners, in those cases which would otherwise lack
hardship or practical difficulty, the City Council may, but is not required to,
grant the requested variance by a majority vote of the Council.
ACTION REQUIRED
Review the Planning Commission's request. The City Council should
consider directing the City Attorney to review this proposed Ordinance
Amendment on Variances. If the Council desires to proceed with an Ordinance
Amendment to Section 5.5, Variances, they should direct staff to publish for a
public hearing, to be conducted by the Planning Commission at their October
meeting.

In order to install the monitoring well on Mendota Heights' property, Su ''t

RECONIlVIENDATION:
Time is of the essence -- Summit needs to install a monitoring well on City :

Our mission at Prairie Restorations, Inc. is simple, and our
name states it concisely. For the past eighteen years we
have designed, managed and restored prairie and other native
plant communities. This is not an insignificant or whimsical
endeavor. Our health as individuals, as communities, and as a
species depends on the health of the environment around us, and
plant communities are basic to that environment. The richer, more
diverse, and better suited to its site a plant community is, the
healthier we all are. Undisturbed native landscapes are healthy,
diverse environments, and Prairie Restorations, Inc. seeks to
protect and maintain these landscapes where they e�ust and
restore them where they have been disturbed.
To accomplish this process, Prairie Restorations, Inc. is
committed to producing the highest qualiry seed and plant materi-
als possible. We have been in this business a long time, and
believe we have the base of knowledge and experience neces-
sary to provide the best materials and services available. It is our
mission to continue to be a leader in the fascinating business of
native landscape restoration.

Wild Iris (Iris versicolor)
What is a nativ¢ IandscapQ?
A native landscape is one which is made up of
indigenous species, undisturbed soils and geological
features. The plant species of a native landscape have
become adapted, over thousands of years, to survive
climatic extremes and are well-suited to local soils and
the associated plants of their community. The primary
plant associations, or plant communities, native to
Minnesota include prairies, savannas, woodlands and
wetlands.
WETLAND
Wetlands can occur within any plant community and
are made up of a group of plants specially suited to the
saturated soil or standing water in which they grow
Wetlands include marshes, fens, and the banks of rivers,
streams, and lakes. These specialized plant communites
are essential to the health of our environment and great
efforts are being made to define, protect, and restore
them.
Using seed and plants produced at the Prairie
Restorations, Inc. farm, we restores all types of prairie,
savanna, woodland edge, and wetland landscapes.
`C;allgr<pss pcairie �a�laze cvut�, ti3e eolc�a�s of August.
PRAIRIE
A prairie is an open grassland. It occurs in relatively
dry climates where precipitation is too minimal to support
trees. There are many kinds of prairies, each character-
ized by the type of plants growing there. The grasses and
wildflowers of some prairies may be tall and dense while
other prairies may be sparsely covered with short grass-
land species. These differences are due primarily to soil
types and moisture availabiliry.
SAVANNA
Savannas serve as a transitional step between open
prairie and woodland. Here, precipitation is adequate
enough to support widely scattered, drought-resistant
trees. Prairie grasses and wildflowers dominate the
ground cover. The Prairie Restorations, Inc. farm, near
Princeton, is located on the Anoka Sand Plain, in an area
that was once savanna.
WooDLAND
Minnesota's woodland communities include the
mixed conifer forests of the north, and the deciduous
hardwood forests of the central and southeast. As with
prairie communities, the plants of forest communities
differ with varying climate, moisture, and soil parameters.
Each native plant community is composed of the plant
species best adapted to the area.
Vl/hy a nativ¢ landscap¢?
Our customers are a very diverse group, including
large and small businesses, federal agencies and town
governments, international non-profits, and private
home owners. They all find that restoring native
landscapes on their properry provides lasting benefits.
COST SAVINGS
In most cases, installing a native landscape costs less
than installing a turf landscape. In the longer term, it
costs much less to maintain. Though it can be a few
years before a native plant communiry is well estab-
lished, once mature it can last for generations with minimal
attenUon.

BEAUTY
A native landscape is an ever-changing environment
of color, light, texture, sound, and motion. It provides food
and cover for a wide variery of wildlife. It is beautiful to
look at and to be in.
ECOLOGICAL SOUNDNESS
Native plant communities are adapted to make
optimum use of resources such as water and soil fertil-
ity, and they further enhance those resources. Soils are
built up, water is captured and stored, wildlife thrives. In
human-dominated environments, native plant communities
do require some maintenance, but far less than the pollut-
ing power equipment and chemicals needed for traditional
turf landscapes.

SITE SELECTIONS
Certain considerations must be made when selecting
a site for native landscape restoration. F�isting vegeta-
tion, soil type, moisture availability, light exposure, and
original vegetation are all important factors affecting
your decision. Matching these factors with the appropri-
ate desired plant community will help ensure a success-
ful restoration.
SITE PREPARATION
A well-prepared site is critical to the success of your
planting. Native plants will spend their first year
developing their root systems, while non-native com-
petitors grow and spread quickly, especially in cooler
spring and fall weather. In order to give the native
plants a chance to develop, and to minimize difficult
weeding in the first year, the site should be cleared as
thoroughly as possible of unwanted vegetation. This can
be done by preparing the site mechanically or by using
appropriate chemicals (RoundupOO , RodeoOO ). Also, be
aware that bringing in topsoil can introduce weeds.
PLANTING
Seed is the basic ingredient of a native landscape. In
larger areas, grass seed can be drilled with a native grass
drill. On smaller sites, it should be broadcast and raked
or harrowed into the soil. Wildflower seed is always
broadcast and worked lighdy into the soil. Seedling
plants may be installed to give qnicker results or to add
diversity to the planting.

Use of native plants in a corporate landscape.
What can you ¢xP¢ct?
Be patient. From site preparation through watching
your landscape develop, patience is important. Your new
plant community should be thought of as a long-term
project, and taking the time to prepare the site and allow
the native, mostly perennial, plants to become established
will pay off as your landscape matures.
YEAR 1
During the first year, the plants' energies are going
into root growth. Top growth will not be impressive,
and few of the wildflowers will bloom. It is important
to keep invading non-native plants from shading out the
native plants and from going to seed. This is achieved
by mowing the project area high enough to avoid
clipping the tops of the newly emerging perennials.
YEAR 2
Your native plant community will be filling in
nicely, and the number of blooming wildflowers will
gready increase. Encroaching weeds should be kept to a
minimum. This can be achieved by hand weeding or
spot mowing.
YEAR 3
Native grasses and wildflowers will be mature
enough to dominate annual weeds. Management will
now involve occasional high mowings and/or a burn
every few years.
1995 StatQmQnt of �roducts
Prairie Restorations, Inc. is committed to producing the
highest qualiry native grass and wildflower seed and plants. Our seed is grown in
production plots, not gathered from natural stands. This enables us to maintain puriry,
control qualiry, and improve pi-oduction without impact on native remnants.
Our plants are grown at our production center in Princeton. They are normally
planted to supplement a base seeding, providing v�luable diversiry and authenticiry to
restoration projects of all rypes.

Hom¢ Prairie Kits
Many of our customers are homeowners who want to develop
their own natural area. Significant labor and cost savings are often
primary reasons for creating a self-sustaiiiing, naturalized home
landscape (the appeal of spending a Saturday afternoon somewhere
other than on a lawnmower is a sentiment commonly heard). The list
of benefits, however, e�rtends far beyond a fuller pocketbook and a
freer weekly planner. Homeowners who develop species-rich natural
areas are enriching the environment by making optimum use of
e�sting soil and water conditions and by providing valuable wildlife
habitat. And as their prairies mature, our customers begin to consider
the colorfiil, ever-changing beaury of their landscape as perhaps the
most significant benefit of all.
Our Home Prairie Kits are designed for those of you who want
to develop a prairie landscape yourself. The good news is that creating
your own prairie is really quite simple, and this year we've made it
even easier to select a prairie kit specifically suited to your site.
Home Prairie Kits can be purchased at our retail store. The kit
includes native grass and wildflower seed mu�es (packaged in a unique
silk screened canvas bag), a computer generated list of the species best
suited to your site ( a$25 value), prairie seedlings, and complete
installation and maintenance instructions. The seeds are pre-miXed for
dry, mesic (mid-moisture) and wet conditions. In addition to the
appropriate seed miX, your kit will include a customized selection of
prairie seedlings. When you come to the retail store, our staff will ask
some questions about the soil, moisture and light availability at your
site, and will use that information to create a list of the most appropri-
ate prairie perennials for your area. From this list, you may select the
prairie seedlings you'd like in your kit.
If you'd like, call ahead and we'll send you a simple site evaluation
worksheet. Fill it out, send it back, and we'll have a customized
Home Prairie Kit waiting for you at the store.

restorationist. For a fee of $175 we will deliver all of the
material that makes up your home kit. We will then spend
roughly one hour with you answering questions and helping
to distribute and space out the wildflower seedlings which
come as part of your kit. In addition you will receive your

Contracted Installation Services are available for a wide
variety of projects. We have 18 years of e�erience in various
conditions, from planting in two feet of water to seeding dry sand
dunes. We are equipped to deal with the special requirements of
planting seed and seec�lings, and have restored over 3,000 acres of
native plant communities.
Land Management Services make PRI's expertise in
maintaining healthy, fiully functioning native ecosystems
available to you.
• Controlled burn management is probably the single
most effective tool for establishing and maintaining
quality grassland. Historically, fires played a significant
role in the development and well being of grassland
ecosystems by discouraging woody plants and weedy
species from becoming dominant. We have the equip-
ment, training and experience to safely and effectively
carry out controlled burns on all kinds of sites. If you
want a spring burn, please call in January ar February.
• Spring and fall mowing services provide ecological
and esthetic benefits to prairie plantings when burns are
not feasible. Mowing gives a tidier appearance to those
corporate and residential sites for which a less "wild" look
is appropriate. Mowing has a slightly different impact on
the plant communities than does burning, favoring
wildflowers and discouraging the aggressive nature of
grasses. All mowings are done at a height of appro�-
mately s� inches.
• Manctgement service contracts address the needs of
newly restored as well as established landscapes. PRI can
10
�--- � : . � � � _ �s�t�,'; �:;-
evaluate your site and recommend the management strategy
that will keep its native plant communities healthy.
Consultation Services make our knowledge and ability to
"read" a landscape available to you.
• Site evaluation and restoration outlines are available to
private land owners at a cost of $175 per site. We will inspect
your site to gather information on soils, slope, size, e�usting
vegetation and other ecological and design factors. We then
prepare an outline of the suggested restoration procedures and
materials. You will receive a copy of Northland �ildflowei^s by
John and Evelyn Moyie, and the $175 consultauon fee can be
applied agunst the purchase of any other PRI products or
services totaluig more than $1000.
• Site inventories and management plans can be done
on a contract basis for larger corporate grounds and other
private or public lands. We analyze your site for historical
and e�risting vegetation patterns, inventory plant communi-
ties, and prepare hands-on management plans. We prefer to
include grounds management personnel in this process, and
our goal is to provide you with a written plan that can be
used in the field.
• Natural landscaping seminars are held in the spring at
our Princeton farm. People who want to do their own
natural landscapes are encouraged to bring as much infor-
mation as they can about their site. Our three hour sessions
give them the background information and site-specific
recommendations they'll need to install their own prairie.
The seminar fee is $20. Call 612-389-4342 for this years
dates.

In the past, our materials production
center near Princeton has been set up to
produce materials rather than sell them.
While this still remains a prioriry, we have
expanded retail services at our greenhouse
complex. Our retail store is the primary
outlet for Prairie Restorations' Home
Prairie Kits, described in detail on page 9.
Though we've made it simple to select the
Home Prairie Kit best suited to your site,
and have included easy-to-follow planting
& maintenence instructions, you may still
have questions. Knowledgeable staff in the
retail store can answer these questions
and give suggestions to enhance the success of your
home prairie landscape.
In addition to Home Prairie Kits, the store offers
seed packaged in a variery of mixes and as individual
species. Store customers will be able to use computer
software designed exclusively for Prairie Restorations,
Inc. to aide in their selection of both prairie seed and
plants. The plant selection software allows users to tell
the computer the location of their site; its soil, sun, and
moisture conditions; and the type of plant community
desired. After processing this information, the com-
puter will give a list of species most appropriate for that
particular site. �

New labeling in our retail greenhouse will also
facilitate plant selection. Color photos of the plants in
bloom are combined with information about bloom
period, plant size, and habitat requirements.
THERE'S MORE THAN PLANT MATERIALS AT OUR STORE�
Books, t-shirts, gardening tools, dried prairie ar-
rangements, pottery, notecards and other gift items are
all available.
When combined with all there is to see outside, a visit
to our retail store and greenhouse is time well spent.
From mid-April through June our retail hours are
Mon. to Sat. 8 a.m, to 4:30 p.m. Other times, call ahead
to check on hours.
