Lawell stated the Ci y could expect an increase in commercial/industrial dev lopment pressure in the Highway 55 Corridor area with the op ning of the Mendota Bridge. 2 Lawell stated the City had completed a Highway 55 Corridor Study in 1988 that provided some useful information. Lawell described the following sites: Garron Site Mulvihill Area Furlong neighborhood George's Golf Tee MIST Site Acacia Parcel United Properties vacant land Resurrection Cemetery land Rogers Road area Visitation site Lawell reviewed the current zoning designations and the current comprehensive land use designations. Commissioner Friel pointed out that the setbacks along Highway 55 vary with the zoning designations. Lawell reviewed Airport Noise Exposure and stated this is the area of the City most impacted by air noise. Lawell reviewed LDN Contours and Metropolitan Council Noise Zones. Future airport expansion plans were discussed. The potential for a north-south runway and for a third parallel runway were discussed. Mayor Mertensotto stated this is the issue that Mendota Heights would have to proactive on and that the third parallel runway to the north would have to be opposed. Lawell reviewed topography and vacant lands in the study area. Lake Augusta and its forested slopes were discussed. The highway realignments were reviewed. The future traffic patterns on Highway 110 and Highway 55 were discussed. Danielson stated that the Highway 110 from I-35E to the bridge would be a busier section of road than in the past. Lawell reviewed the development options from the 1988 Highway 55 Corridor Study with the two configurations for Acacia Boulevard. Following the review of prepared materials, the Council and Commission began a discussion of development goals for the area. Lawell began the discussion by inquiring which land uses were preferred - commercial services for traffic and business, residential, office with views. Soundproofing in Furlong neighborhood was discussed. Lawell stated 10 homes had been insulated with the average expenditure being $15,000 and the maximum $25,000 with the major costs being air conditioning, windows, and doors. Lawell stated it appeared to be working successfully. Traffic on Highway 110 was discussed. Council member Krebsbach expressed a concern for the potential increase in traffic on Lexington Avenue from Highway 110. Commissioner Hunter stated he feels a SuperAmerica on the Curley property would be positive and would help support the B-1 property west of Lexington Avenue and south of Highway 110. A gas station use �� on the Curley praperty was discu�sed. Council me stated she was not opposed ta ga� station, just to volume" type station.

Commissioner Linnell raised the issue of establishing a County Park on the western Resurrection Cemetery site. He stated that the northern portion of the County is under served by County parks and that this area is wooded and very attractive for park uses. The Council and Commission directed staff to contact the County on this issue. Planner Consultant John Uban was directed to submit a proposal to City Council for a study of the Highway 55 corridor that would provide options for appropriate land use and zoning designations. The study should include possible rezoning sites, potential developments and land use options as discussed this evening. The study should include discussions with large landowners and employers. The study would be processed through the Planning Commission. The Council and Commission directed staff to research the strip of land in the City of Mendota that is south of Highway 110.

Mr. Dick Arnold, Mend-Eagan's baseball . commissioner, was present for the discussion. Mayor Mertensotto stated that at the last Council meeting, Council discussed the playing of baseball at Mendakota. He explained that a proposal was before Council for considera.tion of the installation of netting to prevent foul ba11s during baseball games from hitting people in the concession and viewing areas. He informed Mr. Arnold that as the result of the discussion, Council made a decision not to allow baseball at Mendakota but that Council was not awaze at that time that Mend-Eagan had received consent to hold a tournament on the week-end of June 17. Mayor Mertensotto informed Council that he has met with Mend-Eagan representatives and told them that, on the condition that the group nazne the city as an additional insured party on its insurance policy, he would recommend that Council permit the June 17-19 tournament and another on June 3-5 for which Mend-Eagan has planned and received registrations. He informed Mr. Arnold that if the recommendation is approved, Council will not make any guarantees on future baseball use at Mendakota. Councilmember Smith asked, since there have been injuries from foul ball reported, if Mend-Eagan would assign people to spot during the games as a condition of approval. Mr. Arnold agreed that individuals will be assigned to be spotters. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 GARDEN CLUB ; TREE PLANTING PROGRAM Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 Mayor Mertensotto suggested that placards be put up to warn people not to let their children run azound behind the backst ps to prevent injury from foul balls. Assistant Batchelder stated that he would order the signs. Councilmember Krebsbach moved to support the Me d-Eagan baseball tournaments for June 3-5 and June 17-19 on e condition that Mend-Eagan provide spotters. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Mayor Mertensotto expressed appreciation to the Gazden Club for its donation of a Red Splendor ( which has been planted at City Hall. Council acknowledged a tabulation of quotes tree planting program. Heights tree for the 1994 Councilmember Smith moved to award a purchase or er to Blaeser Landscaping for its low bid of $12,800 for the 1994 ee planting program. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. � Councilmember Krebsbach asked whether anything h s been done with respect to Council's discussion on the planting o apple trees along T.H. 110. Administrator Lawell responded that many trees had as part of the Mendota Interchange Project and sta.ff l Mn/DOT to submit a landscape plan. He further stat Mn/DOT has been asked to recognize that a number were removed were crab apple trees and the city wou replacement included in the landscape plan. He info� that a response has not yet been received. Mayor Mertensotto informed the audience that the b originally been planted by the Jaycees in the 1960's. en removed , asked that the trees that like their ;d Council had Councilmember Krebsbach sta.ted that she would like ouncil to also encourage residents to plant crab apples all along T.H. 110 and particularly would like to see them planted along the slouth side of the Fina station. Page No. 4007 May 3, 1994 Administrator Lawell responded that staff wrote to Mn/DOT some time ago to express the city's concern about the Mn/DOT property at the T.H. 110/149 intersection. He stated that he will suggest that Mn/DOT reintroduce crab apple trees in that section of T.H. 110. Mayor Mertensotto suggested that perhaps Council should increase the tree planting budget to start a program of replacing the trees along T.H. 110 and also encourage local organizations to join in the effort. IVY KEEP NORTH BIDS Council acknowledged a tabulation of bids received for the London/Downing street rehabilita.tion project and Ivy Keep North improvements. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Councilmember Huber moved adoption of Resolution No. 94-28, "RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR STREET REHABILITATION, LONDON/DOVVNING (IMPROVEMENT NO. 92, PROJECT NO. 3) AND SAI�IITARY SEWERS, WATERMAINS, STORM SEWERS AND STREETS TO SERVE IVY KEEP NORTH ADDITION (ARNDT PLAT, IMPROVEMENT NO. 92, PROJECT NO. 1)," awarding the contract to Ace Blacktop, Inc. for its low bid of $199,925.55. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Mayor Mertensotto directed staff to retain the bid security for the two lowest bidders, returning the bond of the second lowest bidder upon execution of the contract. STREET SWEEPING Mayor Mertensotto asked about the progress of street sweeping. He commented that he did not think the sweeper was doing a good job and asked Civil Engineer Sanders to look into the matter. Civil Engineer Shawn Sanders informed Council that the program is about 80% completed. He explained that the sweepers have been done for repairs. Administrator Lawell informed Council that many cities have done sweeping eazly in the spring so that spring rains do not flush all the sand into the storm sewers, but eazly sweeping will possibly result in having to sweep again. CASE NO. 94-05, Council acknowledged a report and proposed resolution relative to CONSTABLE continued discussion on an application from David Constable for variances for the R.L. Johnson warehouse, along with a letter from Mr. Jim Dorsey, attorney for R.L. Johnson. Mr. Constable and Mr. Dorsey were present for the discussion. Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 Mr. Dorsey stated that the application for variance hz his suggestion because of the taking of property by N right-of-way. Mr. Constable applied for four varianc with green space, two for setbacks and one for pazki� explained he understood that the Planning Commissi� recommended approval but that Council had approve use permit to enable the variances. Mr. Dorsey sta.tec of conditional use permits is more uncertain as to the the use, and when there is uncertainty with a piece of more difficult to finance and sell a property. He furt� the conditional use pemut that was dra.fted to enable � has a provision which states that if the use stops for o conclusively lapses, whereas the Zoning Ordinance p conditional use lapses if the conditional use ceases fo He explained that variances cannot be lost but must b six months of issuance, and stated that variances and pernuts are similaz in that if there are conditions for c permits or variances, all conditions must be fulfilled i variance does not take affect.

He felt that a conditional use permit ould result in greater damage because of the loss of use. He info d Council that the value of the property is $6 million. Mayor Mertensotto stated that variances run with the and. He asked what would be done with the variances if the buildin was no longer used as office/warehouse space or if it was substantia ly destroyed. City Attorney Hart responded that generally, the stan Mendota. Heights is 50% damage for a conditional us explained that the Zoning Ordinance allows Council, variances, to impose conditions on variances and tho; are usually tied into a particular structure. He sta.ted � not be inappropriate to say that if the structure is dest variances would lapse and also that the variances cou expanded if the structure expands. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that a conditional use issued for the George's Golf Range when Mn/DOT tc property. , Mr. Dorsey responded that the city's Zoning Ordinaz conditional use permits for golf courses in industrial stated that George's is a different circumstance since permitted as a conditional use. rd in He . considering conditions it it would yed, the not be rnut was some of its requires �tricts. He ; use is only Page No. 4009 May 3, 1994 Mayor Mertensotto responded that the applicant is asking for variances so that the structure is not non-conforming after the Mn/DOT taking is completed. He felt that the warehouse should be treated the same as George's since, George's existed before the taking and the owner did not want a non-conforming situation. He stated that Council approval of a conditional use permit should not affect the property's value and would only present a problem if the sfructure is more than 50% destroyed. Mr. Dorsey responded that the conditional use would create a problem for lenders and buyers looking at the property. He explained that he is trying to mitigate damages so that there is no uncertainty over conditional use versus variances. He stated that if the structure were to be destroyed, the owner could rebuild and meet the setbacks required in the ordinance. He further stated that the purpose of variances is to deal with hardship cases and he did not think that a conditional use permit is appropriate for a use that is permitted in the industrial district. He felt that the same conditions that would be imposed by the proposed conditional use permit resolution would be applicable to the variances. He explained that there is a difference between conditional uses and variances, particularly with respect to a property of the caliber of the R.L. Johnson property and the way lenders look at it, and if there are any concerns about the property the lenders will look at it adversely. Councilmember Smith asked what the Zoning Ordinance requires for parking for the facility. Mr. Constable responded that 347 spaces are required and 276 will remain after the taking, but that truck parking can be converted. Councilmember Smith stated that in the past Council has indicated that it does not wish to see any more blacktop than is necessary but has required proof of parking. She informed Mr. Constable that the applicant would have to provide proof of parking to protect the users of the facility if the use ever changes and additional parking is needed. Mayor Mertensotto stated that variances run with the land and conditional use permits run to the use and that Council is addressing the use. He asked if the existing eight foot chain link fence with barbed ware on top is still needed. Mr. Constable responded that the property is more mazketable with a security fence. He stated that the applicant is trying to get the Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 facility into the same use as it currently is with the sa�me value as it now has. I Mayor Mertensotto responded that the city would no be taking the use from the applicant and pointed out that the sta.te' taking of land creates the situation where the facility no longer con orms to city code. Councilmember Smith stated that the point is that th re aze pernutted uses which would require a heavier percen ge of parking than is currently needed for the Johnson facility. Sh further stated that she would like to have proof of parking on file e en though the parking may not currently be needed. Mr. Constable responded that he will provide the Mr. Dorsey stated that he did not feel that it is te do a conditional use permit and that he does not conditional use procedures have been followed. Mayor Mertensotto responded that when Council ac matter on Apri15, the direction taken was to consid� use permit rather than variances. He stated that the to deal with the matter would be to grant variances � and ter�unate the variances if the conditions are not do not run with the land - if the condition for which were granted ceases, the variances would cease. Mr. Dorsey responded that perhaps he could draft a would be mutually agreeable to all parties. of parking. aly correct to that the ressed the a conditional �ly other way th conditions �et so that they .e variances ion that Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the primary co cern is parking, and should the structure change there may n� t be adequate parking. Councilmember Smith stated that one problem is that should the building be substantially destroyed it could not be b' t back on the same foot print. Mr. Dorsey responded that his primary concern with resolution is that it states that if the use ceases the pe� that it is permanently lost if the building is vacant or intended purpose for six months. He asked that he bf work with the city's staff to come up with a resolutio� the next meeting, that meets Council's desires and the applicant. e draft 't is lost and ot used for its allowed to , for review at desires of the Page No. 4011 May 3, 1994 Responding to a comment from Councilmember Krebsbach, Mr. Constable stated that the structure is currently all warehouse use and pazking needs are met. He stated that he is comfortable that the pazking requirements of the ordinance can be met by using truck parking, without expanding into the green space, if more pazking is needed in the future. Councilmember Huber asked if the building was originally built under a conditional use permit. Mayor Mertensotto responded that it was not, that it was built as a wazehouse/office building in the industrial zone and it was built to code requirements. He stated that the applicant wants the variances granted so that if something happened they could build the building back as it is. He pointed out that Council wants conditions placed on the property so that the owner does not have the right to build at the same location on the site using variances that run with the land and also that Council wants to be sure that if the use changes there will be adequate parking. He explained that this is why he would prefer granting a conditional use pernut, but if all of Council's concerns can be covered, he does not care whether the action is on variances or a conditional use permit as long as the resolution is written so that the variances abate if the building is destroyed. Mr. Dorsey responded that he would prefer variances and will cover the city's concerns in the resolution. Mayor Mertensotto informed Mr. Dorsey that he should restructure the city's proposed resolution as variances but that he must retain all of the conditions. Councilmember Krebsbach suggested planting improved landscaping along some of the walls to break up the expanse. Mr. Constable responded that more plantings will be installed along the wall that is close to the road. Mayor Mertensotto directed that the barbed wire be removed from the fencing. Mr. Constable responded that the fencing will look better because there will be significantly more plantings and a berm. CASE NO. 94-10, ARNDT Council aclrnowledged an application from Mr. Erich Arndt for a 16.5 foot front yard setback variance to allow construction of a two car garage at 2163 Aztec Lane. It was noted that a former garage had been converted to living space by the prior owner. Council also acknowledged associated staff reports and signatures of approval from adjoining property owners. Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Arndt if he can meet the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, which are the addition Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 of a window on the south wall of the garage, and that work with the city's engineering staff in determining � between the street and the garage. Councilmember K if the neighbors agree to the variance, since the garag� their view. Mr. Arndt responded that he agrees to the Planning C conditions and that the neighbors support his request. his original plan was to build the garage on the other house but it would butt up against the bedrooms and � concern about cazbon monoxide. He also stated that ; bedroom egress window on that side of the house wo� usable. He further stated that he had also considered garage but the grade of the lot is insufficient to suppo He informed Council that he will do extensive landsc increase the appeal of the garage and will plant spruc� it and make it more vi ually appealing for the neighb� Councilmember er asked what the likelihood is tl neighbor to the north will build a garage. ✓Ir.

He stated that he has spo en to all of his neighbors and none have voiced any objections and a 1 have given him their verbal approval and signatures. Mayor Mertensotto stated that it has been city policy o grant variances in the Friendly Hills 1 st and 2nd Additions o that owners can get more living space by converting existing gar� Councilmember Krebsbach moved to find that there i a hardship due to the size and shape of the Arndt lot and the exis ' g structure because of egress required from the basement, and to ant a 16.5 foot front yard setback variance to allow construction of an attached gazage as proposed with the condition that a window e added on the south wall and that Mr. Arndt work with the city's engineering staff in determining a better grade between the street I d the garage. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 94-08, OPP Council aclrnowledged an application from Mr. & Bruce Opp for preliminary and final plat approval for the Opp A dition, which would result in the combination of Lot 2, Block 2, Ev rgreen Knolls 1 st Addition (Opp property) and the rear 88.5 feet of t�ie Devalerio Page No. 4013 May 3, 1994 parcel , which is an adjoining unplatted lot to the north of the Opp property. Mr. William Brown, from the Paul McLagan land surveyi.ng firm, stated that the Opps propose to purchase the south portion of the Devalario property to enhance their lot, and the subdivision would allow the Devalarios to sell their property for combination with the Opp lot under a single parcel number. He informed Council that there are no anticipated grade or drainage changes, and the only change that will occur will be the change in ownership of the land divided from the Devalario properiy. Responding to a question from Councilmember Smith, he sta.ted that the area of the existing Opp lot plus the land to be purchased from the Devalarios will result in a combined tota.l of just under 30,000 square feet. Councilmember Smith stated that the property cannot be further subdivided. Mr. Brown �responded that neither the proposed Opp plat nor the Devalario properties can be further subdivided. Councilmember Smith noted that there is a barbed wire fence on the east side of the property and asked what its need is. Mr. Brown responded that the fence has been on the property for probably 70 years, and that a number of fences were built on the property lines of the original unplatted lots in the area. Mr. Opp stated that if Council has any concerns, he would be willing to take the fence down. He informed Council that most of the fence has akeady been knocked down. Mayor Mertensotto asked that the fence be removed. He asked whether the Devalario property is torrens property. Mr. Brown responded that the property is abstract. He informed Council that it was very common to subdivide the lots along Wentworth over the years and file them as metes and bounds descriptions. He explained that in this case, since one property is unplatted and the other is in a platted area, they cannot be combined under one legal description unless they are platted. Councilmember Huber noted that Mrs. McGowan, an adjoining property owner, had expressed concern about further division of land in the area. Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 Mr. Brown responded that Mrs. McGowan split her � yeazs ago and created four lots, which she owns, lots the Devalerio property. He stated that there will be x subdivision behind Mrs. McGowan's property becau; platted as Evergreen Knolls.

He asked if Mr. Newberg intends to use the structure for living quarters. Mr. Newberg responded that it will not be used for sleeping or living quazters and will not be heated. Councilmember Krebsbach pointed out that the Planning Commission indicated that Mr. Newberg could replace the structure without applying for a conditional use permit. Mr. Newberg responded that the city's staff felt that a permit was necessary. Mayor Mertensotto stated that there is no question a conditional use permit is needed since the porch is an accessory structure. He asked if it meets the size requirements of the zoning ordinance. Assistant Batchelder responded that the existing porch is a legal non-conforming structure and is larger than the permitted accessory structure size of 144 squaze feet. He explained that the ordinance allows repair of legal non-conforming structures but does not allow rebuilding when they have been in a deteriorated condition, so when Mr. Newberg asked for a building permit to reconstruct the shucture, staff made the determination that application for conditional use permit should be made. Councilmember Krebsbach noted Mr. Newberg's request to the that the conditional use permit fee be refunded. She asked what fees aze required for conditional use permits. Assistant Batchelder responded that a$350 application fee is required and that applicants must submit abstractor certificates of property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. He explained that Mr. Newberg asked the Planning Commission to waive the fee and the Commission responded that they could not recommend action on fees. Mr. Newberg informed Council that the abstractor's certificate cost $285, and that he has spent $635 on the application and certificate. He stated that his neighbors aze happy to see that the porch will be rebuilt. Mayor Mertensotto felt that the situation is unusual and recommended waiving the $250 application fee. Councilmember Krebsbach felt that all city costs should be paid. Page No. 401 May 3, 1994 Mayor Mertensotto recommended that $250 be has not incurred more than $100 in costs for nu processmg.

Council also acknowledged associated st�aff reports. Mr. Stehr stated that he has 35 pairs of pigeons regul ly, and up to 200 pigeons including young, depending on the time f the yeaz. He explained that he has show pigeons which axe bred s ctly for show and never leave the coop, as well as racing pigeons. Councilmember Krebsbach asked if there have ever objections from neighbors. Mr. Stehr responded that the has not received any cor. neighbors like the fact that he has the pigeons. He inj that his lot is two acres in size and the building behin� which houses the birds, was existing when he bought He explained that he does not know what the buildin€ used for but he connected it to an existing loft.

Mayor Mertensotto asked what would ha.ppen if the properiy is sold. He asked what assurances Council has that a new owner would maintain proper health conditions, etc. Mr. Stehr responded that the chance of his selling the properly to another pigeon breeder would be rare as there are few breeders. He explained that he is building the structure to maintain a healthy condition for his birds. Councilmember Krebsbach stated that what Mr. Stehr proposes is unusual, but if Council approves the permit problems could be created if the property is sold. She pointed out, for example, that Council would not want the loft used for chickens. Mr. Stehr responded that pigeon lofts can never be used for any other purpose. . City Attorney Hart stated that Council can limit the permit to the raising of pigeons, pointing out that since the application is for conditional use permit Council can make a finding that other types of poultry would have other conditions not consistent with pigeons, such as noise. He stated that Council can limit the use of the structure to pigeons and provide that it cannot be used for any other animals. He further suggested that Council could stipulate a condition that if pigeons are raised by another owner of the property, the structure must be maintained in the same manner as it is maintained by Mr. Stehr. Mayor Mertensotto stated that any use other than the housing, raising and maintaining of pigeons will be a violation of the conditional use permit. Attorney Hart suggested that Council incorporate conditions that the two existing buildings must be removed within 12 months and that the new structure match the existing garage. He further suggested that the conditional use permit be granted for the sole purpose of raising pigeons with the conditions recommended by the city planner, which are that the pigeons must be kept clean and must be kept on the property and not allowed to roost elsewhere, that the structure be kept clean and free of rodents, debris and noticeable odors, and that pigeon noise be kept to a minimum and only during daylight hours. � Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 401 May 3, 1994 Mr. Stehr responded that when he exercises the pige 1/4 to two mile circles around his premises and land pigeon loft.

Mayor Mertensotto recommended refunding $150 of the application fee after both of the e�cisting accessory buildings are removed and upon receipt of a written statement from Mr. Stehr certifying that both structures have been removed. Councilmember Smith pointed out that a conditional use permit would be required for the use (raising of the pigeons) irregardless of the accessory structure. Councilmember Smith moved to authorize refunding $150 of the conditional use permit application fee to defray the cost of the abstractor's certificate after receipt of a certification from Mr. Stehr that he has removed the two existing accessory buildings. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 CASE NO. 94-09, LTNITED Council acknowledged an application from United Properties and PROPERTIESBDS BDS, Inc., for subdivision, sign setback variance and site plan review. Council also acknowledged a request from United PropertiesBDS for tax increment financing and sta.ff inemos regarding the planning and tax increment financing requests. Mr. Dale Glowa, from United Properties, briefly reviewed the site plan. Mayor Mertensotto asked if any changes had been made since the preliminary discussion by Council on April 19. He also asked if the decorative band had been removed from the back of the proposed structure. Mr. Glowa responded that the band had never been envisioned for the back of the building. He stated that the exterior of the structure has been modified to add decorative (rock face) block, which gives the appearance of brick, on the back rather than cinder block which had originally been envisioned. He showed a rendering of the proposed structure, explaining that the dark color throughout the building is azchitectural masonry black made to look like brick. He explained that he had considered burnished block for the building after testing the material decided to instead use painted architectural rock face block which may need to be painted in 10 years. He informed Council that this material was used on the VGC building.

He informed Council that United Properties has a master plan for the pazk that it has kept to. He explained that the firm patiently waited for the freeway completion and has a plan for commercial and office space along the freeway and has left those sites untouched to date. He stated that United Properties has developed very upscale facilities for Solvay and other firms but the further away from the freeway the site is, the market dictates industrial uses. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the Mendota Bridge will open in November and the estimated traffic count for the years 2010 to 2015 could be 35,000 to 40,000. He stated that T.H. 110 will suddenly become the front door to the city from the west and T.H. 55 will be directly connected. He envisioned that this would bring a different trend. Councilmember Krebsbach stated that people who live in Mendota Heights tell her that T.H. 55 may have more value as office space. She felt that perhaps the airport uncertainty is delaying development and asked the city continues industrial types of uses if it is forcing the same type of market along T.H. 55. Mr. Glowa responded that no one can force a market and that a number of the companies that United Properties has attracted have come from the westem suburbs. He stated that Woodbury is an example of not creating a market, which has no office or industrial market even though 3M has tried to create a market for years. He explained that the majority of the decision makers are in the southwest mazket and they want to be close to where they live. Councilmember Krebsbach responded that many people live in Mendota. Heights but are not able to work in the city. Mr. Glowa responded that United Properties has been doing the best development in the airport south (Mendota Heights, Eagan, Apple Valley) market and is trying to market the business park for office space but the only office sites in the pazk are along the freeway. He pointed out that Associated Bureaus is a user-owned building, not a spec building, and that he cannot change the spec office market. With respect to T.H. 110 and Lexington Avenue, he sta.ted that while he understands that the city would like to see hotels and offices at the gateway to the city, the reality is that the dynamics of the office market will be directed by I-35E and I-494 more than they will be by T.H. 110 and T.H. 55 because getting employees to and from the Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 office requires using I-494 and I-35E. He further state that although there may be some exceptions, those will be solate occurrences. Mayor Mertensotto asked Mr. Glowa if he would con ue the band around the back of the building so that Council does n t run into the problem of allowing the building not to be finished on all four sides. Mayor Mertensotto responded that the use is appropri� feels BDS will be a welcome addition. He fiuther stat thinks the building is attractive but that he is bothered of the building will not be finished in the same manne the building. He reminded Mr. Glowa that Council ha discussion lately about finishing all sides of buildings required it. He asked how much it would cost to have exterior on all four sides. Mr. Glowa responded that it would possibly cost $10,� explained that the reaz can be painted to look like the � and even though the linea.r size of the block on the rea from the size of the rock faced block on the front, ther noticeable difference after painting. He stated that if t walking along the trail behind the building, he would band. Councilmember Smith stated that Associated Bureaus to add substantial landscaping at the back of its buildi� difference would not be conspicuous. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that Council has spent time telling developers that buildings must be finished and Council would like to see the same quality of mate all sides. He felt that $10,000 is not too large an amou make the back side of the building consistent with the Councilmember Smith stated that the city is being as substantial TIF inveshnent and expects something in investrnent. Mr. Glowa responded that no one looking at the build able to visually tell there is a difference, and to put th� block on the back will be wasting money. He further same material used on the back was used on all sides is beautiful.

He Page No. 4023 May 3, 1994 stated that most people will not recognize that there is a difference in materials anywhere around the building. Councilmember Smith stated that Council would lose credibility if it accepted anything less than consistency on all four sides. Mr. Glowa responded that the quality is the same all around the building with a slightly different look on the other three sides, but he would discuss the matter with BDS. Councilmember Smith stated that the TIF figures which were provided by Publicorp on the cash flow assumptions shows a zero estimated market value on the land. She sta.ted that she believes Council has always said that applicants must use what the current market value is to determine the increment. Adm.inistrator Lawell responded that he has spoken to Mr. Glowa about the issue. The current value on the entire pazcel proposed to be subdivided is $84,400, which could be proportioned out to determine the value of the portion of the parcel which BDS is purchasing. He informed Council that it is Mr. Glowa's assumption that whatever the County has as the base value is what is used, but stated that he agrees with Councilmember Smith that current value has been used in past applications. He further sta.ted that Mr. Glowa has indicated to him that if it is appropriate to use current value he will agree to insert it. Treasurer Shaughnessy stated that he is not sure how the county will divide the value and that he thinks a substantial portion of the $84,400 will remain on the existing parcel. He informed Council that the current tax is $6,300, $2,100 of which is already tax increment. The base value produces $718 worth of tax, which is the tax paid in 1980 when the tax increment district was formed. He stated that in most of the projects in the MAC area, the original value was zero because it was exempt property when it was placed in the district. Mayor Mertensotto directed that Treasurer Shaughnessy contact the Dakota. County Auditor to determine which value to use. Councilmember Smith stated that there were some questions about landscaping and existing trees in the planner's report. She asked Mr. Glowa to interpret the landscaping plan. Mr. Glowa responded that the planner's report dealt with the original landscaping plan which had been prepared for BDS before it � Page No. 40 May 3, 1994 selected a developer. He informed Council that a re� landscaping plan has been submitted which was pre� same landscape architect who has designed the land: entire business pazk. He sta.ted that the individual w include the recommendations of the City Planner, ex Planning Commission agreed not to require that all c trees be retained, since many are cottonwood.

Administrator Lawell responded that upgraded allowable TIF expenditure. Responding to a Council question, Mr. Glowa stated is ready to go and he would like to request condition� building pernut.

Administrator Lawell stated that the developers agreement for TIF must come before Council at a future meeting, and the only item needing to be resolved with respect to TIF is the base value. Treasurer Shaughnessy stated that the figures used by Publicorp include land value entirely from the tax increment calculation, so that it does not make a difference which value is used. He further sta.ted that they are talcing nothing for land value or base value, only the value of the building, and that the tax projections are just based on the $1 million building value. Councilmember Smith stated that United Properties is asking less than the total increment and there should be no problem, but that she wants to be sure that Council is consistent in the way it approaches TIF values. With respect to the retention pond, she stated that it is located on the lot line, and asked Mr. Glowa if it can be incorporated with ponding for the adjacent lot should that be desirable in the future. Mr. Glowa responded that this is his preference, but it may not be practical, depending on how the site develops. He stated that he would like to have some flexibility, and if it does not make sense to incorporate it he would like to be able to relocate the pond for the second site. Council agreed to allow flexibility, but asked Mr. Glowa to use just one pond if possible. Councilmember Huber moved to approve the preliminary plat for the BDS Addition, and to direct staff to prepare a resolution to include the following: approval of the tax increment financing plan, approval of the site plan and issuance of a building pernut, subject to review and approval by the Code Enforcement Officers, approval of a twenty foot sign setback variance, all with the understanding that the building must be finished on all four sides and that the tax increment plan is subject to further review.

Mertensotto, Mayor � M. Thomas Lawell, City � ;d by the �� � CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 10, 1994 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Tom Lawell, City Administr SIIBJi3CT: Mendota Heights Motel Sewer and Water Connecti For many years the City has been concerned about fa septic tanks and well contamination along the Highway 55 corridor, particularly in the vicinity of the Mendota He Motel and the Furlong residential subdivision. The situ within the Furlong Addition was remedied in 1991 with th extension of municipal water and sewer service to the ar Mendota Heights Motel issue remains unresolved and shoul addressed. A letter from the motel owner, Mse Toni Bede requesting City assistance to remedy this situation is a BACKGROIIND The improper discharge of septic system effluent in Highway 55 area was chronicled at length in 1990 and 199 the City decided to extend municipal services into the a. Attached please find a newspaper article from February, which specifically discusses the situation at the motel. When the utilities were inatalled, homeowners in th Addition were financially asaisted by the City to enable afford the assessment costs associated with the project. the use of tax increment financing, the City reduced the the assessment to each homeowner by $10,000. This use o wholly consistent with the City's adopted TIF Plan which under the heading T.H. 55 (Furlong Sites) as follows: "T would write-down costs to make it feasible to provide se water to this area of town. The area now is sewered by o. septic systems and cess pools which are failing��. Given the commercial nature of the motel, the facil licensed by the State of Minnesota and is subject to pub health inspections. Obviously the publicity associated � motel attracted the State's attention and they have expr great interest in having the motel connected to the now � municipal utilities. tion i a. The 'now be when a. 90 r�url ong hem to Through ost of TIF was tatea � City 'r and site � I y is c th the sed �ailable F � � Unfor�una�ely�, the ecanomics at �he matel have precluded the owner/operator of �he motel, Ms. Toni Bedi, �rom making �hat connec�.ion. Instead, the State has all.owed the motel to remain open provided Ms. Bedi has her six (6) septic tanks routinely pumped and that a detailed log book oi tank maintenance be kept. In addition, the State has stated they will require that the motel be connected to the available u�,ilities as soon as the Mendata BridgeJInterchange projec� is complete. DISCIISSION Ms. Bedi has success�ully applied for a grant from the State Department of Trade and Economic Development to �inancially assist her with the installation costs as�ociated with hoaking up to city water and sewer. Upon completian of the project, the grant will pay her $8,375 or 50� af the project cast, whichever is less. In her le�ter Ms. Bedi has asked for financial assistance in paying the Sewer Access Charges (SAC) assaciated with the sewer connection. The SAC charges on the project are paid to �he City but are directly forwarded an�o the Metropolitan Wasi�e Contral Commission. For the propased motel connection, �.he SAC charges amount ta $7,200. - Ms. Bedi has not requested a waiver or reduction in the SAC charges due but in�tead ha� reque�ted 90 days in which to pay the amounts due. These payments would be made to the Ci�y in three separate instal.lments of $2,400 each. The Cit�y would need ta pay the full SAC charge amount to Ghe MWCC at the time oi constnxetion permit is�uance but would be paid back by M�. Bedi over the 90 day paymen�. period. RECON�'NDATION It is certainly in the public's best interes� to have the Men.dota Motel hooked up to the municipal water and sewer system. Although the six onsite septic tanks are not currently causing enva.ronmental harm, they have in Ghe past and may create further problem� in the fu�ure. In the Iong �.erm bes� in�erest of nearby LeMay Lake and residen�s in the area, it is very desirable to have these tanks discannected and praperly closed. Given the amount of financial assistance provided to homeowners in the Furlong Addition to ailow them to connect �o municipal utilities, and the overaZl importance of having the matel's problem addressed, I recommend that we al.low Ms. Beda, to pay the $7,200 SAC charge i.n three separate payments of $2,400 each. �uch paymen�s would be made an July 1, August 2, and September 1, 1994. • t � • ACTZON RS4IITRED Should Council concur with the request by Ms. Bedi the $7,200 SAC costs associated with hoaking up to the C water and sewer system in t�hree equal payments of $2,400 motion granting that approval should be made.

No offer has been ma.de for the two par els on which there are homes along Pilot Knob Road. � Mrs. Franson and Mr. Perron have had an independent ap of their property by Metzen Appraisals which indicate a v $1.25 per foot for the two parcels (1 and 3). Since our ap was made in 1988, I suggested to their attorney that the Cit consider splitting the difference, and offering a$1.00 p for the property. Attached is a letter which indicates a offer from their attorney. Parcel 1 is 26,550 square f� Parcel 3 is 133,812 square feet. The total land a approximately 3.6 acres. Combined with the land we previou� purchased, we have a site of approximately 7.1 acres which w large enough to develop.

Please f to edit, add and delete as you feel appropriate. ACTION REQIIIRED Review the attached material and determine if and h City of Mendota Heights wishes to submit formal written to the Metropolitan Council regarding the draft Regional Blueprint document. ts f ree � the mments CRITIQUE OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL'S PROPOSED REGIONAL BLUEPRINT SECTION I. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL BACKGROUND The Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint is a general planning document intended to replace the former Metropolitan Development Investment Framework (MDIF) which expresses the Council's overall plan or vision for this metropolitan area. This document has wide-ranging scope and is comprised of both generalizations and sgecific action steps. It is the basis for the more specifc regional system plans that interrelate to the local comprehensive planning process. The AMM notes with interest that the focus of the new Regional Blueprint has changed substandally from its predecessor document, the MDIF. The new ttuust which focuses on a regional economic strategy, regional investment, regional growth and regional environmental strategy is similar in nature to the recommendations outlined in the AMM Metropolitan Governance report published by the AMM in the fall of 1992. The council's'self-described role in "Making it Happen" - providing leadership on emerging regional issues, chief regional policy maker for the regional systems and provid.ing a regional perspecave - and general methodology - collaborator, facilitator and data provider - also is consistent with the general AMM philosophy. While overall the draft Blueprint appears to focus on the most relevant regional concerns, the AMM dces have many questions and concems relative to implementation and its many unknown implications.

Regional Blueprint as a Metropolitan System The AMM opposes classifying the Regional Blueprint as a"metropolitan system" under the existing legal definition of a metropolitan system and the implications thereof. This Blueprint is a vague, general document defining broad metropolitan goals and objectives. It is intended to serve as an overall guide plan or vision for the region, not as a policy plan giving specif'ic direction. The document is simply to broad and general in nature for it to be used as a system plan. Local units of government would be at the mercy and whim of totally subjecfive decisions made by Metropolitan Council staff in determining whether local plans, projects and activities were in conformance with the Blueprint. The Regional Blueprint, like the former IvIDIF, should serve as the regional planning framework or guide that is then translated into specific policies through the metropolitan system plan process. 2. Regional-Local Interaction and Relationship , The general thrust and tone of the Metropolitan Council verbiage in recent months has been one of cooperation and partnership with local units of government in solving regional problems and planning for the future. Council members and staff have often used the term "facilitator" in describing the Council's role vis-�-vis local officials. The AMM believes that kind of relationship between the Council and local officials to be the most productive in dealing with regional concerns. However, there are many statements in the Blueprint which seem to convey a more top-down approach and indicate that the Council intends to involve itself in more micro-managing of heretofore local decision making, rather than concentrating on truly regional issues and concerns (i.e., page 32, it should not be a Council concern about the impact of development on local services - police, fire, etc.; page 33, inform and educate local communities about � how growth affects the demand for local services; page 38, work with local governments to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in local services). 3. Controlled Growth, Personal Preferences, Leapfrog One of the themes of the new Blueprint seems to be that high density is good and that low density ' ba�. It appears that the Council will encourage high density by maldng it more difficult to add land to th ML1SA. The AMM is not in a position to determine whether there is a sufficient supply of developa le land (see specific comments elsewhere in this document), within the current MLTSA to accomm expected growth without greatly increasing the land cost and causing other unintended side effects. ut, we have some concern with the overall approach to this issue as outlined in the draft. i The document seems to ignore that the personal preference of many residents of this area is to live ' low density development patterns. While increasing densities may decrease costs of some urban servi it also may have other, more undesirable impacts. In a free society such as ours, people should be allo ed some "space" if they so desired and are willing to bear the accompanying costs. I The AMM also is concerned with the "leapfrog" development in counties adjacent to the seven-cou ty metro azea which will be even more of a problem if the MUSA line becomes too rigid. The increas � development activity in adjacent counfies beyond the control of the Council already is causing majo I highway capacity problems for north and northwestern parts of the metro area. The metropolitan ar is better served by con6guous development from the center out, than to ezacerbate the "leapfrogging" at already has happened. f 4. Distressed Area Concerns The Blueprint recognizes the host of complex problems facing the central cities and some inner-rin; suburbs in dealing with the beginnings of urban decay: aging and deteriorafing infrastructure, high unemployment, lack of decent affordable housingl, lack of good paying jobs, growing crime rates, concentrations of poverty, etc. While many of the problems are recognized, resources and strategies dealing with them are not so clearly identified. There is a general reference to exploring the creatio� metropolitan enterprise fund as a possible funding source to help deal with some of the conditions,l spec�cs as to a source of funding for the enterprise fund is mentioned. The AMM agrees that maki better use of and redirecfing some exiting funds and programs as alluded to in Action Steps 2C, 2D 2E will help; but substantial amounts of additional funding and resources will be needed if real pro� to be made. It also should be noted that there are "distressed areas" in ci6es beyond the central citie inner-ring suburbs. 5. Airport Related Concerns The face of this metropolitan area and its component parts are going to be heavily impacted by the ultimate decision on whether to build a new airport or enhance the exisdng facility. Under the dnal planning system, the final decision will not be made for several years to come, but some discussion concerning the issue should be contained in this document, Perhaps some general alternative scena� could be included to alleviate the uncertainty that exists with no reference at all. A plan that purpor the Regional Blueprint lacks some credibility when the single biggest issue to be finalized in this de not even mentioned. What will be the iinancial impact on the region if a new airport is built? Will i the ability of this region to maintain and expand the other regional systems as necessary? This issuE to be too big to ignore in the Regional Blueprin� no and to be � SECTION III. SPECIFIC COMMENTS 1. Cluster Planning (Page 38). The "cluster planning" concept is one that seems to be creative and holds some promise for dealing with sub-regional issues. It also recognizes that cities cannot always accomplish all regional goals within their individual boundaries. While the concept of cluster planning in helping local units of government and the Council to address sub-regional concems and issues in a cooperative manner is laudable, implementation of this concept will not be easy. For example, what if adjacent cities wish to have a major MUSA expansion beyond the amount of land supply in that sub-area determined to be appropriate by the Council. How would the issue be resolved? What about apportioning life cycle housing needs? The Council needs to think out this process very carefully. 2. Polluted Sites, Contaminated Soils (Page 20). The AMM encourages the Council to use its influence and resources to help put contaminated land back into productive use. While contaminated site clean-up efforts and programs should not be limited to any specific area, an effective program to clean up and recycle polluted lands would greafly benefit more mature and fully developed areas of this region, and help level the playing field between new development and redevelopment The Council's help in this matter would be most welcomed. 3. Regional Environmental Strategy (Pages 48-56). The AMM agrees with the theme of this section that protecting the environment is very imgortant and is a quality-of-life issue. The AMM also agrees that prevendng environmental degradation is preferable and less costly than conecfing degradation once it has occurred. However, there is no shortage of environmental regulations or regulators now involved in protecting and preserving the environment� Adding more regulations or increasing the Council's regulatory authority probably would be counterproductive. The AMM encourages the Council to take the lead in streamlining and sor6ng through the overlap, duplication and conflicting requirements that exist in the current environmental regulation process. In other sections of the Blueprint, the Council advocates a more streamlined and less time- consuming development approval process. The environmental regulatory maze is one of the more time- consuming aspects of development and redevelopment 4. Local Government Comprehensive Planning (Pages 64-70). The AMM has long supported the need for realis6c local comprehensive plans and their integration and connection with regional plans. We also believe that the current planning laws (metropolitan and state) are adequate to protect the legitimate interests of both local and regional parties. The AMM is concerned about the number of references in this section of the Blueprint requiring more elements in local plans as well as the seeming intrusion of the Council into more aspects of local planning. The only concern the Council should have with local plans is to ensure that they do not violate metropolitan system plans. The AMM also has a major concern about the proposed requirement to update local plans every five years and a complete update every 10 years. Major updates or reviews of local comprehensive plans is very fime-consuming and expensive - to say nothing of the added expense and staff needed by the Council to review all of the updates. Many cities indicate there already is a long wait at the Council to review current revisions that aze done on an as-needed basis. The AMM opposes more intrusion into the local process by the Cauncil. 5. Tax Increment Financing (T1F} (Pages 20-21j. The AMM supports the use of 'TIF to help redevelop distre�ssed amas and for clean-up of polluted la� We look forward to working with Ehe Metropolitan Council duririg the next legislative session ut ge the TIF statutes amended so that fhis tool becomes workable in dealing with urban bligh� However, TIF is virtually the only tool available to ci6es for ecanomic development and redevelopment, it sho not be ruted out as a tooi to retain or increase jabs far the region as a who2e.lfiis toal is particularly helpful in assisfing the Mebro East area compete with Wiscansin for jobs. 6. Regional Strategy for Guiding Growth (Pages 30-37�. A standardized methodology af classifying Qevelapable land within the MUSA shoutd be agreed u n by the Metropolitan Council and affected cifies. The methodalagy needs to cansider the iunpact of state � regalations (the state Wetlands Conservation Act and shoreline pratectian, for example), city land a� practices, property pratected as histarical or cultural resaurce sites, devalopabliiity {siope, sails fype , � flood plan, access, etc.), ownership and availability. Tt may rnake sense Ua have the seven coun6es d the Metropaiitan Conncii pool their msoc�rces and information to estabiish a comprehensivc GIS system for the entire metropolitan area. { SECTION IV. CONCLUSION The proposed Regional Blueprint is a creative step into exploring the Council's roIe in the region 'd how it can work with local officials ta better position this region to compete nationally and internationall .;It was na small undertaking and the months of work are apparent. The Biueprint includes points that esh with AMM philosophy and which AMM has sought on its awn. We applaud the efforts to bring a re ional focus an issues such as infrasiructure, investments, jabs, edUcation and training, and the enviranme t,'' and the Council's desire to return ta visioning. f IIawever, the tone of the Btueprint seems inirusive and samewhat heavy-handed at times. The fea� that local units of governrnent capacity for responding to their constituents woald be lessened if the � Biueprint were imptemented as written because #he Cauncil cauld subjectively imposa its rutes and ` regulations upon those units of government it states it wishes to help. While it was written under th � direction of this particular Council, who is to say what will hagpen when a new Metropc�litan Coun 'I t comes into being? If the Council truly wants to be a facilitator and convener among units of govern ent within the metrogolitan area, the AMM would ask that the Council revisit and perhaps retool portio s�of the Blueprint so it can be the gniding and visianary ttsot ii was meant to be for this region. � ' Noticeabiy absent fium this draft critique �re cornments about whethea housing should be elevated to system tai for the region. Given the poli6cal and emotional divisiveness regazding the hansing issue, sta� has not att pt to formulate a camtnittee gositicm. If you wish to deveiap a rosponse to housing beca�nning a region-wida sys e i ws would ask that you bring draft language to the May S meeting. 04/27/9d 10:48 FAZ 612 895 4404 CITY OF B-VILLE � 001 C,�TX QF � P(�.STl'�ON FAPEIZ • QN'TI� MEI'ROPQLITAN CQUNGIY..

I just wanted to briefly write you regarding my concern relatin� ta the Met Councii's Blueprint. One item in the dacument references preciuding the use of tax increment financing unless it is utilized in a development area. This may make some sense when reviewing the use of a redevelopment tax district, however, it may not rnake sense for other types of development. The limitations relating ta any type of T.I.F. district in could, in effect, create an apposite effect than the Btueprint would like to facilitate. The Blueprint references the development and creation of high quality jobs, tax base, etc. which tax increment can help facilitate, As you know, the League and A.M.M. have developed policy that encourages the formatian and use af manufacturin� districts for the creation af high quality '�obs. In Oakdale's case, as well as the other suburbs to the east, we are in irttense competition with Hudson, Wisconsin. Thus, it is critical that we have access to a tool that allows us to compete, while still generating new wealth and jobs far the metro area. ?� �;o�zid �� m}J rec�m:neiidatio�i #I��t ir i}�� �Viei Cc�uncil is goir�g to reference tl�e Iimitation of T.I.F. for redevelopment purposes, it should do sa only as it relates to redevelopment tax increment districts.

DIRECTOR (612) 891-7003 Fax (612) 891-7031 APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA 55124-857 May 6, 1994 In January, Dakota County was host for a discussion session on the draft of the Regional Blueprint proposed by the Metropolitan Council. During that session there was agreement that a second session would be desirable, once the implementahon strategies and action steps of the Blueprint were determined. We would like to invite you or a staffmember to a second meeting on May 16th, at 1:00 PM in Room 334 of the Western Service Center in Apple Valley. We will continue our discussion of the "Blueprint," with emphasis on the issues and concerns that surround the implementation and action steps. The County Board has authorized County staffto prepare formal comments on the Regional Blueprint for presentation at the public hearing scheduled for May 19 and 20. County staff proposes to view and test the policies and action steps against five main criteria; 1) value added in government, 2) net zero growth in government, 3) strategic future positioning, 4) incentive and goal oriented, and 5) market based strategies. At our meeting we would hope to accomplish two goals: (1) identify any additional criteria and provide specific illustrative examples and (2) to identify key areas where there is strong agreement that could be communicated to �the Council thraugh individual ci�y comments as well as County comments, lending more weight to the testimony. We would encourage you to bring copies of any comments which your staff has prepared to share with the group. We hope your schedule will allow you to attend. We look forward to another productive discussion on May 16th.

Paul , NIl�T 55101 Dear Ms. Rietow: 1Viendota Hei May 18, 1994 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the discussio� of the Regional Blueprint for the Twin Cities Metropolita� The comments contained are based on our reading of the Bli in its draft form. The City has also had the opportunity a presentation on the Blueprint by Metropolitan Council s a Dakota County League of Governments meeting on April 13 an Association of Metropolitan Municipalities Metro Agenc meeting on April 14. As explained�at those meetings, the Blueprint is an attempt to update and redefine the NIDIF d which the Metropolitan Council is currently using to guid actions. Based on discussion which occurred before the M Heights City Council on May 17, 1994, the City offers the following comments . The current NIDIF and the traditional role of the Metropol Council has been primarily to review land planning and development as it relates to certain defined regional sys The proposed Blueprint represents a substantial expansion Council's traditional role in general land planning and t to remove from cities their current appropriate role in d regarding local zoning regulations. The Blueprint contemplates the elevation of "Housing" to level of a"Metropolitan System��. The Blueprint also en� greater reliance on land use designations contained withi Comprehenaive Plan as opposed to the historic precedence use Zoning. In combination, these changes-essentially st city of its ability to locally determine its overall resi land use pattern. Given the fact that each city council popularly elected by its residents and is directly accour. those who live within the city, land use decisions fundan belong in the realm of the city, not in the hands of an a metrowide agency such as the Metropolitan Council. There greater democratic precept which applies in such matters.

This concept is perplexing at best given the nature and characteristics of what has historically been recognized as a system. The Council's central reason for being has always been to manage the broad planning issues related to very important and very expensive capital improvement projects within the region. By providing broad policy direction related to the design and conatruction of new sewage treatment facilities, regional parks, airport development, etc., the Council has been able to better coordinate the development of these physical improvements. These systems typically represent millions of dollars in capital investment and are intended to last decades if not centuries. To describe the Blueprint document itself, a collection of words assembled on some 80 plus pages which is subject to change at any time, to the status of a "system" is peculiar and ill advised. The Blueprint is a regional planning document, not a system, and ought not be classified as such. The Blueprint states that the review process of cities comprehensive plans will be detailed in a handbook which will be included as Appendix B of the document (see page 66). Since this handbook is not included in the Blueprint, we can only presume it has not been drafted. It is not reasonable to ask the cities to comment on this review process without having the opportunity to analyze what guidelines will be used in the review process. The Blueprint repeatedly states that if people are physically close to jobs, then they will be able to be hired. The fact is that most of the depressed areas in the Twin Cities are physically very close to thousands of jobs in the downtown and near-downtown areas. These are also areas that currently have at least some level of public transportation provided. The proximity to jobs has not been shown to reasonably correlate to increased employment and prosperity. Being close to an employment source means nothing if an individual does not have the skills a prospective employer needs. In order to become attractive to prospective employers, individuals need to be trained so as to develop ma.rketable skills. The Blueprint attempts to affect social change by changing land use patterns. This simplistic approach misses the larger issues involved in reducing poverty in the area and ultimately will fail as it does not address the underlying roots of the problem. There are many publicly supported housing initiatives which have failed to better the lives of the occupants because the residents were never given the skills to provide incomes for themselves. Mse Dottie Rietow May 18, 1994 Page 3 . The Blueprint also asserts that poverty can be addressed building transportation and housing systems to facilitate new jobs with people who need jobs. The risk in this sol that building permanent structures (housing, transportati systems, etc.) with long expected lives may not be locate job growth and opportunity occurs in the future. A more appropriate approach would be to focus on better u existing resources to address the identified problems. O possibility would be to offer incentives to local compani provide transportation, child care and/or other necessary desirable services to prospective employees in depressed Those newly employed could then use the income from the j government intervention if necessary, to begin rebuilding renewing their neighborhoodg. This policy does not rely predicting where the growth will occur and puts money fro� jobs back into the local depressed areas which need it th Another solution, which the Blueprint does make mention, better public transportation is needed from the depressed out to the surrounding communities that have experienced � growth. The Blueprint encourages high density development along ; transportation corridors. In fact high density and/or l housing already exists along or near I-94 and University Maps included within the Blueprint indicate however that areas are among the most depressed areas. This would se conflict with the view that proximity to transportation in improved economic well being. The document is inconsistent in referencing perceived stre and weaknesses in the area. For example in regards to the quality of work skills, at the bottom of page five the sta is made "Doubts are growing about the quality of worker sk However you later on page nine quote a 1992 Fortune magazi article as recognizing the Twin Cities "for its quality la force...". To enhance the credibility of the Blueprint, statements contained within the document should be support and consistent. The Metropolitan Council should be encouraged manage the broad overall growth issues within draft Blueprint contains many goals worthy of proce�s of attempting to achieve these goals result in the usurping of fundamental land us publicly elected local government officials. i r to continue the region pursuit.

In the end, local city councils are closer to the specific needs of each community and are in a better position to more appropriately respond to the will of the people.
