Re: Property ID No. 27-41600-011-05
Sir/Madam:
This is filed as a protest to the 1994 property classification of the referenced
property as non-homestead. This is a garage attached to a homestead classified
condominium (Property ID No. 27-41600-011-05). It has been classified as
homestead in previous years and all steps incident to the continuation of that
classification were accomplished simultaneously with those undertaken with
respect to the condominium itself.

This letter is to serve as an appeal of the increase in
asaessed value of our home at 1899 Walsh Lane in Mendota
The reasong for this appeal are set forth below.
In 1993, our home was aasesaed at $134,900, a figure tha
believe, higher than comparable homes in the area. We h
recently been informed that the 1994 value of our proper
been assessed at $144,900. (A copy of this assessment n
attached to this letter). This increase of $10,000 is
unjustified and unwarranted!
The 1994 assessment is outrageous in light of the fol
xeignts.

property. Any changes related to repair and mainte ance and
in no way increased the property value by $10,000. The
square footage of the house remains the saine as it as in
1990 when we purchased the property.
* Homes in the area have not been sellincr well and, for
those houses that have sold, the selling price has een well
below the listing price. Despite low mortgage rate , sales
have occurred only after extended listing periods.
* The declining quality of public education in Dis rict 197
and the well-known problems with existing school fa ilities,
especially Grass Junior High, have made this area m ch less

property assessments.

Based upon the above facts, we request that our 1994 ass ssment

Dear Sirs,
I just received my notice of assessment for the year
1994 for taxes payable in 1995. I firmly believe that the
assessor valuation of our property, $100,800, is too high.
Just a few short years ago, we thought of selling our
property through a realtor, and the going sale price for
comparable homes, including ours, in the friendly hills
addition was $83,000.00. There has been no improvements to
our property. I can't see any reason for the valuation of
our property increasing $9,700.00 from the market valuatior
of $91,100.00 just a year ago.

No. 3966
February l, 1994
City Attorney Hart informed Council that his
office has reviewed the documents and finds
them to be in order.
There being no further questions or comments,
Councilmember Smith moved that the hearing be
closed.
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.
It was the consensus of Council to authorize
staff to complete any of the legal
requirements necessary to keep the application
progressing.
Council acknowledged a tabulation of bids
received for the Pilot Knob Watermain Project,
to bring water to the Garron site.
It was the consensus that 12 inch pipe should
be installed, given the fact that the cost
differential is not significant and the line
will serve St. Peter's Church and the City of
Mendota and its size is important for fire
protection.
Councilmember Smith moved adoption of
Resolution No. 94-23, "RESOLUTION ACCEPTING
BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR WATERMAIN AND
STREET RESTORATION IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE PILOT
KNOB ROAD AND ADJACENT AREAS (IMPROVEMENT NO.
84 PROJECT NO. 2A)," awarding the contract to
Ryan Contracting, Inc. for its low bid of
$72,230, with the direction to staff to return
the bid bonds to all but the three low
bidders, and to return the bonds tc�""the second
and third lowest bidder after the contract is
signed by Ryan Contracting.
Councilmember Huber seconded the motion.
NDC-4 Council acknowledged a memo from Jodie Miller,
NDC-4/NDCTV Executive Director, the 1994 NDC-4
draft budget, an Action Alert from the League
of Minnesota Cities regarding "information
superhighway" deregulation and an Action Alert
from the National Association of

Ms. Miller responded to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto regarding the operating budget for
the NDC-4 building. She then reviewed
graphics on audited revenues for 1993 versus
projected 1994 revenues. She stated that
revenue generating activities will have to be
greatly increased from 1995 through 1998.
Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto regarding the budget for the non-
profit corporation (NDC-TV), Ms. Miller stated
that the non-profit's budget was submitted to
the Cable Commission, and its budget is
pending the passage of the NDC-4 budget. She
explained that the majority of the revenue for
the non-profit comes from a$62,000 grant from
Continental Cablevision.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the budget
for the non-profit should be provided to the
cities for informational purposes.
Councilmember Huber stated that the Commission
had some lengthy budget meetings and needs to
look at options for raising revenues.
Councilmember Smith asked about the legal
service line item in the budget. Ms. Miller
responded that 1993 was unusual in terms of
expenses for legal services and that she is
uncertain how much impact the proposed FCC
rule changes will have on the need for legal

Ms. Miller informed Council that there is much
going on in national and state legislation
which is being proposed by the telephone
industry. Federal bill HF 3636, which is
about to be voted on in full committee could
pre-empt the cities franchising authority.
With respect to the state, the telephone
companies are saying that the state cable act
needs to allow competition and that cities are
a barrier to competition. She stated that the

Assistant Batchelder responded that $25,000 of
the $80,000 in remaining bond referendum funds
has been dedicated to moving the power lines.
He informed Council that the intent of the
Park Commission is to construct the Hagstrom-
King tennis courts out of the capitol
improvement plan, and not to use referendum
funds for that purpose
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that perhaps an
architectural or engineering class at the
University or one of the colleges would be
interested in preparing a plan as part of a
graduate program..
Assistant Batchelder responded that the
estimated cost for architectural services is
between $3,000 and $5,000.
Councilmember Smith stated that she feels
North Kensington will be more complex than
many of the other parks, and that Council
would like to have an attractive park without
changing the hydrology of the area.
Mayor Mertensotto felt that there should be a
shelter in the park so that people can be
sheltered from rain.
Councilmember Smith stated that she does not
think that the soccer fields at South
Kensington will be as available to the
neighborhood in the future as they area now
and the there should be a place for those in
the park to get shelter.
Assistant Batchelder responded that'�'the Park
Commission felt that a shelter would be a
duplication of what is in the south part of
the park and that a shelter would be more of
an attraction which would result in the need
for additional parking spaces. He further
stated that the Commission wants Wentworth
Park to be the next priority for a picnic
shelter.
With respect to duplication, Councilmember
Smith stated entirely different people will
use North Kensington than will use South
Kensington. She did not think the park will
attract any more people than are regularly
seen at games. She further stated that if the
scale of the shelter is kept small the park
No. 3971 �

will not attract reservations for 1
company picnics.
Councilmember Huber stated that eve small
shelters are expensive He felt Cou cil needs
to look at where shelters are curre tly
located in the city and whether the e are
areas in the city that have no park shelters.
Councilmember Smith stated that she does not
think there is a similar type of de sity in
other areas of the city as in Kensi gton or an
area where people have fewer option for
places to congregate.

did, constructing a shelter through volunteer
help. He pointed out that all that is
proposed is a small shelter.
Councilmember Smith stated that Cou

JOINT WORKSHOP Council acknowledged a memo from Administrator
Lawell regarding the joint Council/Planning
Commission workshop scheduled for March 29.
Administrator Lawell informed Council that
only three members of the Commission would be
able to attend on March 29. He recommended
that Council cancel that meeting and hold the
workshop in early April.
It was the consensus to conduct the workshop
on April 14 or April 21, and to direct staff
to notify the Planning Commission and City
Planner of the potential dates and ask for
their response.

that the call brought to mind another area
Council may wish to consider - the spreading

creating different problems. She felt that
perhaps Council should contact the legislators
now to inform them that the proposed Orfield

Chair Dwyer inquired if the deck is twenty feet wide. Mrs.
Hunter responded yes . She stated the deck will extend f ive to
six feet. Chair Dwyer stated there will be 120 square feet of
deck projecting over the bluffline. Dwyer inquired of the
vertical dimension. Dr. Hunter stated the vertical profile
will be four feet including the deck support.
Commissioner Tilsen stated the existing vegetation should be
maintained. He stated the cantilever will shade the
vegetation and it may die off. He stated it is hard to
visualize the sun angle and shading on the vegetation. He
inquired if the overhang could be limited to three feet to
minimize shading. He further stated the issue of hardship is
clear but wondered how much of the deck should really extend
over what is already there. He further stated that the
construction of the deck seems to be a reasonable solution to
the foundation and its problems. He further stated that extra
vegetation would help.
Commissioner Duggan stated the owners will do their best to
enhance the landscaping. He stated the westerly sun seems
adequate and that he is favorable with the application.
Commissioner Dreelan inquired how much repair is needed on the
foundation. Mrs. Hunter responded there will be minimal
surface repair and that there will be some block replacement.
Dreelan inquired about the brick chimney. Mrs. Hunter stated
the chimney will be incorporated into the foundation of the
deck.
Chair Dwyer stated he cannot recommend approval of this
request because of other Critical Area requests which have
been denied in the past. He stated a swimming poo�-request
had been denied and the Frye/Katz's were severely restrained.
He stated a six foot projection onto the bluffline is setting
too much precedence. He stated the Critical Area District was
created to prohibit this type of infringement.
Mrs. Hunter stated the deck will not be seen from across the
river. She stated the deck will cause little visual impact.
Mrs . Hunter further stated the swimming pool comparison has no
relevance with this request as this foundation already exists.
She further stated the vegetation has already recovered,
especially the sumac, from the fire. She stated the six foot
canopy will have a minimal impact on the sumac.
Chair Dwyer opened the meeting to the public.
There was no one present to discuss this ma.tter.

CONSTABLL -

VARIANCE5
Chair Dwyer introduced Mr. David Constable, representing R.L
Johnson Warehouse located at 2360 Pilot Knob Road. He
explained that R.L. Johnson has experienced the lo�s of
property, parking and access due to the taking of 2.6 acres of
land for relocation of Highway 13, widening of Highway 55 and
the realignment of Pilot Knob Road by the Department of
Transportation. He stated with the taking of this property,
the building has been placed in non-conformance status.
Mr. Constable briefly described the MnDOT takings and why the
variances are needed. He explained that a landscape coverage
- green area variance is required. He explained that due to
the taking of the property the green area space has been
reduced approximately 8.2 percent from the required 25
percent, which leaves 16.8 percent of the site in green area.
He explained that this calculation does not include the pond
area.
Mr. Constable stated -that the State has not yet deteritt'�ned the
exact location of the road. He stated that the building
setback could be approximately 18 feet to 21 feet from the
road. He stated the building is presently setback 69 feet.
Chair Dwyer stated 40 feet is required. Mr. Constable stated
the building has been in full compliance, but with the MnDOT
taking, the building would be considered non-conforming
without the variance to building setback.
Mr. Constable explained the sign would be setback 20 feet just
north of the entrance. Commissioner Duggan inquired about the
existing security shed. Mr. Constable responded that the
former tenant, Target, used this shed and that it will no
longer be used and will not be replaced.

Commissioner Tilsen inquired how much fill would be brought

Tilsen inquired that if 400 cubic yards of fill is being moved
onto the site, is a Conditional Use Permit needed. Public
Works Director Danielson stated yes.
In response to a question from Commissioner Tilsen, Planner
Uban explained that the applicant loses flexibilities in
improving the site if the warehouse were to rema.in in non-
conforming status. He further explained if the building were
destroyed by fire, all conformities would have to be met.
Planner Uban stated that these conditions presented are not of
the applicant's making and that it was caused by MnDOT and
therefore a hardship can be considered.
In response to a queation from Chair Dwyer, Mr. Constable
stated the building could operate as total warehouse space
without office space. He stated the original parking was
approved to have flexibility to move to office space.

NDCTV staff, the use of more than 20 volunteers, and donations of NDCTV and other
equipment, NDCTV made this event technically possible. It is hoped that some of
the costs to NDCTV may be off-set by Dakota County.
Remote control units installed recently at the city halls using narrowcasting
funds are now operational.
11. LEGAL COUNSEL REPORT Legal Counsel B. Grogan provided an uodate on activity
since that last Commission meeting, at which the group resolved to adopt
procedures consistent with FCC procedures and to issue a complaint with the FCC
on Form 329 co�cerning rates for cable service other than basic. A letter was
sent to Continentai Cablevision advising them of the resolution. Within 30 days
of receipt of this letter., Continental must provide Form 393 on.which the initi3l
rate they wish to charge is stated. The Commission can then decide whether to
review the rates to determine if they fit within the benchmark schedules produced
by the FCC. There is speculation that the FCC may change parts of the regulation
process and may also reduce rates further. The rate freeze may be extended beyond
the February 15th deadline.
Issues concerning convergence of new technologies linking voice, video, and data
were brought up for discussion. B. Grogan explained that franchising authority
over new technologies may be handled on a federal or state level rather than
locally. He outlined what NDC4 can do to ensure control over what is provided to
local residents. Hearings are now taking place on a federal level concerning HR
3636 which would eliminate orohibitions to telephone conglomerates entering the
cable market. B. Grogan recommended NDC4 adopt a resolution to be sent to federal
legislators representing the NDC area, key state officials, and other kev federal
committee members to try to influence them to keep control over public rights of
way in the hands of local government. Cities need to voice their concerns over
this matter now to avoid losing their control in the process of ail the impending
technology changes. Commissioners discussed the need to preserve local control
over as much of the services as possible to ensure access by all. Motion 2.2.94.7
to direct the attorney to draft a resolution to be sent to various elected
officials by NOC4 was made by R. Vitelli, seconded by E. Mullarkey, and
unanimously carried. The attorney was directed to also draft a resolution for the
cities to send to key people invoived in the iegislative process on a federal and
state level.
12. 1994 BUOGETS - Chair Lagoo reported that the NDC4 Budget Committee met recently
to review the budgets for NDC4 and NDCTV. J. Miller explained that a major
problem arose because Continental's projected 1994 revenues are $12,000 less than
the amounts used when the budget was put together in July 1993. Because of the
deficit in the 1994 NDC4 budget, which cannot be cut any further without seriously
jeopardizing its operations and intended obligations, the committee recommended
reducing the 10q payment to the cities by the deficit amount of $13,000. By doing
so, the budget could be presented to the cities as a balanced budget. To further
cut operating expenses would mean cutting staff, which would impede the ability
to generate revenue, which has to be a top priority for NDCTV and NDC4 in the
future, especially knowing the changing climate of the cable industry and the fact
that a 15ro payment to the cities will be required in 1995. The cities would have
the option to deny the request for reducing their 10� payment.

8. I�EGAL COUNSEL REPORT -
A) Open Meeting Law: B. Grogan provided an update �o the Commission an the Open
Meeting 1aw in order to comply with a request made by the insurance company. The
Open Meeting law applies to ail governmental badies, including the Commission and
its cammittees. Its purpose is to make certain that official action is taken in
a public setting. Ail Commission meetings are open to the public and the law
applies ta a quorum of the body or more if discussing official business. Some
meet i ngs can be c 1 osed to the pubi i e as def i ned by the 1 aw and i nc i ude 1 abo r
negotiatians, same emplayment matters, attorney client privilege concerning active
iitigation, and various farms of privaie data. After three violations of the law,
the violator must resign for a period of time equal to the term af office. As a
rule of thumb, 6. Grogan suggested that when three or mare Gor�missioners get
together they need to be cautious of discussing official business.

show the combined revenue and expenses for both NOCTV and NOC4 alo g with how much
money has been cut in the past year. The calculations show that o er the past two
years there has been an approximate $100,000 (10X) decrease in mo ey as a result
of decreased revenues and increased expenses.

10. STAFF REPORTS - J. Miller reported that within the past week two live call-in
shows were successfully produced at the studio under the guidance of Government
Coordinator, Judy Skeie-Voss. The production Capitol Commentary hosted by
Representative Milbert and produced by Judy Skeie-Voss has been chosen as a
finalist in the Minnesota Community Television Awards contest. Tickets are
available to attend the event which will take place Monday, March 14;
Corttmissioners wishing to attend may contact the NDC4 office. The event will be
shown live on Regional Channel 6. A technician will be cleaning and evaluating
equipment at each of the city halls as part of a process to assist the Government
Planning Committee (GPC) determine how to spend the narrowcasting monies. The GPC
continues to discuss ways to bring city news to its respective residents and would
like to begin by providing announcements and updates during the 15 minutes or more
preceding the start of the city council meetings. City council representatives
on the Commission were encouraged to become a part of this effort.
NDC4 monies in the FBS money market fund have been transferred to Southview Bank.
Recommendations will be forthcoming on how to invest some of the money in
certificates of deposit in order to take advantage of better interest rates. The
process for moving the security account from Norwest is underway.
J. Miller reported on her recent involvement in the MACTA Legislative committee
which is concerning itself with legislation on both state and federal levels.
Commissioners or city personnel planning to attend the upcoming LMC conference in
Washington, DC should contact J. Miller for information on legislation they may
be able to affect during their visit. House Bill HR3636 will be coming before the
committee for discussion on Tuesday, March 15. This bill would allow telephone
companies to enter the cable business without being regulated on a local level.
On Wednesday, March 16th J. Mi71er will attend a regional training session
sponsored by the FCC to explain more about the rules and cities involvement in the
process.
J. Miller requested the Commission to authorize hiring a part-time production
assistant at an annual cost of approximately $6,000. Money for this position is
in the recently approved budget. The person filling the position would provide
assistance to the Governmept Coordinator and take care of some �f the routine
tasks previously done by the Education Coordinator. There is need for additional
help with routine tasks because of the increased work load in the area of
government programming. In order to bring staff levels up to what they were
before J. Miller moved from the position of Education Coordinator to that of
Executive Director, a full-time position needs to be created. With the addition
of new activities, current staff is strained. Money for this position is also in
the approved 1994 budget. Oiscussion followed and staff was directed to present
a job description for both the part-time and the full-time positions to the April
meeting for action.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - G. Tourville suggested the studio be furnished with a
United States flag since there are public meetings taking place in the facility.
R. Vitelli volunteered to follow up on the possibility of getting a flag and pole.

Arbor Day Proclamation
DISCIISSION
Since 1990, the City has been annually celebrating Arbor Day
and Arbor Month by officially proclaiming Arbor Month and by
participating in a tree planting ceremony. In past years we have
planted three Red Splendor Crab trees in a row along the front yard
of the Civic Center property and have had a garden installed and
maintained around the City Hall aign through the generosity of the
Garden Club. `
Also, at a meeting in the near future the City Council will be
asked to award a bid for the City's Boulevard Tree Planting
Program, an annual program that has enhanced urban forestry within
Mendota Heights.
Arbor Day for Minnesota and for the nation is April 29th, the
last Friday in April. In Minnesota we also celebrate the month of
May as Arbor Month in recognition of the fact that much of northern
Minnesota is not yet thawed out. By proclaiming Arbor Day and
Arbor Month we encourage our residents to become more aware of the
importance of trees to the well being of the local and global
environment.
There has not yet been an offer to donate a tree this year,
however, a tree planting ceremony could easily be arranged 7�y April
29th, if City Council so desires.
ACTION REOIIESTED
If the City Council so desires, they should pass a motion
adopting the PROCLAMATION ACKNOWLEDGING APRIL 29, 1994 AS ARBOR DAY
THE MONTH OF MAY, 1994 AS ARBOR MONTH.
Note: This year's them for Arbor Month is: ��Trees
for all Times." Under this theme people and
organizations are being encouraged to plant a
different native species tree each month.

Interchange project on Pilot Knob Road and the smaller pond is needed as part of
Insurance Company's building expansion.

Critical Area Variance
C. John Uban
This application is unique in that Mr. Hunter proposes to build a deck on an existing foundation in the
critical area where a house had previously existed prior to being destroyed by fire. The applicant is
proposing to deck over the foundation without reconstructing the previous 2-story structure.
The foundation sits right at the bluff line adjacent to the applicant's home. It appears that the foundation
nee�s to be repaired in some fashion or totally removed for safery purposes. The solution presented by
the applicant is to repair the foundation and deck over the top so it can safely serve as part of his home
and yazd. The foundation is less than 5 ft. in height at the bluff line which is the maximum allowed at
the critical azea ordinance. The proposed deck would be significantly less visible than''tl�e previous
structure.
The history of this azea is well documented in the applicant's submittal. with details of the proposed deck
and engineered foundation repair. The applicant is seeking a vaziance to allow the construction of the
deck beyond the bluff line in a fashion that minimizes the overall impact to the Mississippi River corridor
while maintaining an aesthetic bluff line view from the river.
No soil disruption or vegetation disruption is proposed to take place. Some of the surrounding trees were
removed after they were destroyed by the fire but it appears the significant stand of sumac and other
plants aze beginning to take hold.
This application for a variance from the critical area ordinance requires a public hearing and letters have
been mailed to all property owners within 350 ft. Also notice has been published in the local South/West
Review.

Cri#icat Area Variance
Sectian 4,1 of the Ordinance requires that existing st�vetures meet certain criteria in arder t�
for any city permit for expansion, change af use, ar building permit. This includes maintaini
screening of the structure with natural vegetation, exgansian of stnccture shall be in the du
tr
from the river, and that it not hinder the public's ability to view the river and its corridor
streets.
In this case, I believe it would be wise to make sure that the vegetatian damaged by the

natural binff line vegetation would also be advisable. ' Because the expansioa is only that of a
an the foundation, the irnpact is not toward a river view, as would be the case if a two-stc
was going up. Additionally, when the vegetation matures araund the deck area, the gublic's
not be further restricted or degraded,
Since the applicant has 2ost the enjoyment of his summer home because af fire and has ch�
rebuild the summer home on its existing foundation, it is reasonable to find that this is a harc
the appiicant's making. Because af the unique circumstances of this proposat, the buiiding �
is reasonable and not contrary to public interest or damaging to the rights of other persans or t
vaiues in #he neighborhood. Additionaily, the management af the palicies of the criticat area
hampered and there appears to be no financial gain to the applicant because of the requeste
The design solution and variance for the deck is based on the locatioa of the summer hou
which is not in the applicant's control and was constructed prior to the adoprion of the c
ordinance.

To: Mendota Heights City Council and
Planning Commission �
From: Stephen and Anne Hunter
1171 Orchard Place
Intent: This letter addresses our request for a variance to the critic
ordinance in order that we may construct a deck over an ezisting fo
within the critical area.
History: About fifty years ago a cabin, or summer house as it was c�
was built on the bluff in the location shown on the site plan. It was a
wood paneled room with vaulted ceiling, running water, electricity, a
corner kitchen area. A large and unique field stone fireplace easily a
the space and made it a favorite spot for family gatherings. In 1986
was built adjacent to this cabin, and in November of 1987 the house
adjacent cabin were destroyed by fire. The house was rebuilt, but th�
was not. What remains where the summer house stood is the founda
a charred, broken, and unusable concrete slab. The foundation, whic
constructed of large sandstone blocks on top of a concrete footing, ha
approgimately 6" on the bluff side over the years. It still is more tha
adequate to support the proposed deck.

Considerations: We want to resolve the aesthetic,problem created by he fire
and regain a use on the site of this lost asset, but we do not think it is
appropriate to rebuild the summerhouse. We also do not think it wise to
leave the foundation and slab in its current condition. Bolts that held
wooden structure to the foundatian protrude fram the sandstone bloc
pose a hazard. We could remove the foundatian, but this effort would
large scare, would destroy surrounding vegetation, and created an erc
problem.
The best choice for restoring the beauty and function of this site is to
over the egisting foundation. The proposed deck will not harm or alte
vegetation, or change the current water runoff situation. The deck as
proposed will be essentially invisible to all but the residents of this h�
and will end a long standing problem while giving us a useful and saf
to enjoy. We feel a hardship exists in the fact that this unusable slab �
foundation area is unsafe as it presently sits.

SIIBJECT: Certificate of Completion - Associated Bureaus
INTRQDIICTION
In early 1993 the City entered into a Contract iar P:
Development {"the Contract"} wi.th Hurley Partners to cons�
the Associated Bureaus, Inc. facility at 1500 Commerce Dr:
within the City's Business Park. Upon comple�.ion of the
facility, Hurley Partners is to request from �.he City a
"Certificate o£ Campletian" which finds that the building
the standards set iorth in the Contract and permi�s the p<
of tax incremen�. financing benefits on this project to oci
Now that the facility is built and occupied, Mr. Sacl� Hur
has now asked that the Cer�ificate of Gompletion be i�sue�
, r •
Staff has met with Mr. Hurley and his associates to
thi� reques�. and ta tour the new facility. Mr. Hurley i
appropriately proud of the building which was built, bot
architectural and iunc�.iana2 sense. Given the closeness
site to the airport, the City's as�istance in funding no
attenuatian costs through`�.ax increment financing was es
to make thi� project a reality, Mr. Hurley reports the
attenuation level provided in �he building has proven qu
success�ul and our tour of the facility canfirms this fa
One issue which has presented itself as a possibZe �
for concern is the exterior building material used on th�
side of the facility. While the o�her ex�.erior walls ar�
finished wi�h brick and decora�ive black accent bands, t:
wall was constructed o� concre�.e block wi�.h decorative b

While architecturally pleasing, the proposed method of
finishing the west wall is contrary to the representations made
by Hurley Partners to the City Council at the time the site plan
was approved in November 1992. At that time it was represented
that the building would be constructed on all four sides of
brick, with decorative pre-cast architectural block and
reflective glass.
As with any construction project, design changes are
typically made along the way for a variety of reasons. Hurley
Partners states that this plan revision was made in order to keep
the cost of the project in line with its budget. During the
course of the project the construction costs associated with the
sound attenuation work were greater than expected, hence the need
to revise the plan with an eye towards cost reduction in other
areas. Mr. Hurley notes that the overall project cost was not
reduced and that he significantly exceeded the minimum
construction cost of $2,888,674 as outlined in the Contract.
Staff's reason for bringing this matter to the attention of
the City Council relates to the fact this design change was made
without prior City approval as required in the Contract for
Private Development. Because the final appearance of the
building is different than that represented to Council at the
time of approval, staff felt it necessary to bring this matter to
your attention prior to the issuance of the Certificate of
Completion.
In response to these concerns, Mr. Hurley was asked to
prepare and submit additional supporting material describing the
circumstances related to this design change. The attached packet
of material contains the following:
1) A letter from Mr. Hurley describing the history of the
issue and requesting issuance of the Certificate of
Compliance. _
2) A packet of photographs which show the exterior
materials of the building and the sight lines visible
from the nearest roadway, Trunk Highway 13.
3) A photograph which shows the full east elevation of the
facility.
4) A letter from Welsh Construction detailing the tax
increment related expenditures incurred on the project.
5) A letter from Welsh Construction attesting to the true

In addition to the material submitted, Mr. Hurley ha;
extended an invitation to the Mayor and Councilmembera to
the facility prior to Tuesday'g Council meeting. Mr. Hur:
ma.de it clear he is willing to meet on site at any time, �
weekend included, to allow everyone a chance to see the o,
quality of the facility he has constructed. Should you w:
arrange such a tour, please give me a call or contact Mr.
directly at the following telephone numbers: Work 688-51i
454-5994 or Pager 637-4997. In that Mr. Hurley is also a
resident of Mendota Heights he states he will not be
inconvenienced by any request to tour the facility.
ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS
While it is unfortunate the Associated Bureaus facil
not constructed in the ma.nner described at the time of si
approval, it is clear the building is a definite asset to
Business Park. The building clearly surpasses the constr
material used in the nearby office warehouse facilities o
by VGC Corporation and Lennox Heating and Cooling.
k
The west side of the building is predominantly visib
Highway 13 traffic which is located on the opposite side
Soo Line Railroad right of way, approximately 200-250 fee
In addition, vegetation in the area serves to somewhat sc
west building elevation, and the building elevation is ap
imately 28 feet higher than the grade of Highway 13. As
t�he west elevation is not nearly as visible as the other
elevations of the building where true brick construction �
used. Once painted it is not likely most passersby will :

available in this regard and will be prepared to present -
information on Tuesday night.
ACTION REOIIIRED

The applicant did not include any location for a sign or a sign plan on which to determine th� conditions
of a variance. The plan as submitted shows a 40' setback for parking and it is possible for sign to be
placed at the edge of the pazking lot at some point in the future. Without additional info on from
the applicant, it is not possible for me to comment on the sign setback and setback variance.
The site plan also does not show existing and proposed conto�rs as impactefl by the road r ignment.
This affects the ability to look at the required screening and berming along Pilot Knob as e road is
reconstructed. Also noted, landscape plan was not submitted as required for screening o industrial
parking and loading.
This application requires a public hearing and letters of notice have sent to all the properry ow$�ers within
100' of the subject property. �
CASE NO.: 94-05
March 22, 1994
Page 2
Landscape Coverage Green Area Variance
The ordinances of the Ciry require that 25% of industrial property be dedicated to landscaped green azea.
This does not include ponds. The applicant has not includefl the existing pond in his calculations and the
requested variance is for the diminished land available for landscaping due to the enlarged right of ways
taken by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDot).
Pilot Knob Road is moving into the site approximately 75 ft. easterly in its existing location. This new
construction not only impacts the building setback but the pazking setback and would necessitate the re-
construction of the road right-of-way and landscape berm already in place along Pilot Knob Road.
Although the applicant hasn't shown the details of ttiis, it is anticipated that the berm and landscaping
would have to be reinstallefl. Also, due to the loss of green area below the 259b, an appropriate
condition would be to mitigate that loss with additional screening and landscaping placed along the
perimeter of Pilot Knob Road to better create an aesthetic and green appearance for the traveling public.
The amount of take 2.6 acres represents about 11 % of the site. The green space has been reduced
approximately 8.2� from the required 259b, leaving 16.8 % of the site in green azea. This condition is
cause� by the highway taking and would make the site non-conforming if a variance is not granted.
Building Setback Variance
The building is just over 400,000 s.f. in site and forms a lazge L-shape� structure. The new alignment
of Pilot Knob Road curves through the western edge of the property placing the westem edge of the
building closer than the required 40 ft. from the new right-of-way line. The building appears to be 25'
from the new property line. The applicant has statefl that the exact distance is not yet �own and has not
yet been determined by the state surveyors. It is not unusual for road alignments to move a foot or two
during the construction. As setback of 20' ought to suffice and could be amende� by the state if they
require more right-0f-way.
The previous setback was over 60 ft: from the right-of-way and the road improvement will §ignificantly
reduce that setback plus eliminate the landscaped azeas between the building and roadway. Additional
landscaping along the e�ge of the building would help reduce the sense of closeness that will now be
appazent with the realignecl roadway. No landscape plan for mitigation has been submitted by the
applicant. This condition was not of the applicants' making and was caused by MNDot and can be
considered a hardship. Without granting the variance, the building would be non-conforming.
Sign Variance
There was not sufficient information to adequately comment on the sign vaziance. There appears to be
ample areas according to the drawing that lie beyond the 40' setback where a sign might be placed or
additionally, a landscape island might be extended to accommodate a future sign. Since there is no
specific information at this time, there appears to be no discemable hardship for sign placement.

The properiy is being reduce� not only along Pilot Knob and Highway 13, but also along
The property also had two access points out onto Pilot Knob which allowed flow through c
trucks and also facilitated the proper alignment of trucks for the safe backing up oper;
loading dock area. The applicant has proposed a truck turnaround and more azea for truck t
to accommodate movement in the loading azea and compensate for the loss of the second acc

The Fire Marshal has reviewed the drawing and is comfortable with the single access and

Although the automobile pazking has been reduced because of the expansion of the right of

used for additional automobile pazking. Although the truck parking is not required by ord.
looking at the amount of pazking area that it represents, enough of it could be converted t
parking that technically there is ample ronm to park cars when considering the truck parkin�
parking for the automobile component. In considering a vaziance for parking, the overall
the truck parking azea acts as proof of parking for the required parking stalls. If all of the
would be striped on the site, there would be less opportunity for truck parking and the facil
to store trucks off site.
The pazking analysis supplied on the plan shows that e ting plan before the right-o
required 244 parking stalls. This should actually read 47 parking stalls; the same as
pazking for the revised plan. Mitigation can be accomplished through proof-of-pazking and
of a berm with landscaping to fully screen-the loading and pazking facilities from Pilot Km
An additional element of the parking lot that makes the faciliry non-conforming is that the
system and ponds do not operate as was designed and approved by the City. The pond was
as a holding place for the parking drainage prior to discharge into the City's street storm s

The parking lot catch basins do not go to the pond but at this time go directly to the street storm sewer
system which is not in conformity with the approved design and plan of the storm pond. The Ciry
Engineering Department has reviewed this, and will be requesting the applicant to disconnect those
parking lot connections and reroute drainage to the pond. This represents a minor amount of work that
can be accomplishefl at the time other improvements aze being made with Pilot Knob Road construction.
Action
Hold the Public Hearing and make a recommendation to City Council.
Considerations:
1. Applicant to supply the City with berming and landscape plans to mitigate setback and green area
variances.
2. '' ' Postgone action on sign variance until appropriate information is supplied.
3. Connect all parking lot drainage to the storm pond on the site.

Dear Tom Lawell:
SUB7ECT: Preliminary Plat Review
Tuminelly's Carmen Court
North of TH 110, east of I 35E
Mendota Heights, Dakota County
CS 1982
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the Tuminelly's Carmen
Court preliminary plat in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subd. 2, Plats. We find
the plat acceptab�e for further development with consideration of the following comments.
• The cul-de-sac must be constructed entirely outside of Mn/DOT right of way and
connected to the frontage road by an entrance of standard width. The attached copy of
the plan shows the opening in access control.
• Grading and drainage plan� must be submitted to Mn/DOT for review prior to any
construction. Questions may be directed to Keith Van Wagner'of our Hydraulics Section
at 779-5053.
• Frontage roads are planned and built to provide direct land access, as part of local street
systems, where access is restricted to trunk highways. Mn/DOT hopes to turn over all
frontage roads still on the state system, to local jurisdictions as opportunities arise. We
ask that Mendota Heights consider accepting jurisdiction of the street. Depending on the
condition of the roadway, jurisdictional exchanges typically are accompanied by the
performance of improvements or other considerations. Please contact us regarding the
city's interest in discussing such a jurisdictional transfer.
• A Mn/DOT access permit will be required for access to the street. Bill Warden of our
permits office may be contacted at 582-1443 for permit applications and questions about
the permit process.

The typography on the site is severely sloping and is wooded and appears to be totally unusable. It is
possible that an adjacent property owner could purchase the parcel to add to the rear yard of an existing
home along Crown Pointe Court.
Subdivision Plan
The suhdivision plan has been improved by minimizing the flag lot condition and elimination of one lot.
The lots meet the minimum lot sizes and are arranged now in an orderly fashion azound the end of a
public road and cul�e-sac. Each lot will have its own private driveway to the public road and will match
the overall development pattem of the neighborhood.
Variance for the flag lot is require� but has minimal impact compared to the previous plan.
Action
Review the revised subdivision and make recommendation to the City Council.

PONDVIEW TERRACE Council acknowledged a petition from five
DRAINAGE (COHEN) property owners on Pondview Terrace for city
assumption of the responsibility for
maintaining an extension of a storm sewer to
provide access to interior lots on Pondview.
Council also acknowledged a copy of a letter
from Schoell & Madson, Inc., (on behalf of
Copperfield Associates) to selected bidders,
requesting bids for the installation of a
drain tile from Lot 4, Block 6, Copperfield
Third Addition to the public storm sewer, and
a copy of a letter from Schoell & Madson to
Lyman Lumber regarding the drainage problem
and recommended solution. Council also
acknowledged copies of the bids received by
Copperfield Associates and an application from
Brown & Cris, Inc., for a utility permit to
work on city right-of-way.
Mr. Phil Cohen, 644 Pond View Terrace, stated
that he built his home in 1988, during a
drought. He informed Council that now his
i. � sump pump exhausts its 10 gallon drum every
ten minutes and in the winter there is nothing
. he can do because the water freezes
immediately. He explained that he has worked
out an agreement with the developer of
Copperfield and his neighbors, and he reviewed
the recommendation of Schoell & Madson for
installation of a pipe to connect to the storm
sewer at the corner of Pond View Drive and
Wat�rs Edge Terrace and be placed in the
drainage and utility easement along the back
line of Lot 5 to his property. He stated that
the portion of the pipe located on public land
will be available to all of the neighbors
should the need arise. He informed Council
that he is not asking for funds for the
project but rather for the city to maintain
the extension. He explained that if he had to
do the maintenance it would require him to
work on three lots plus the boulevard and
would require considerable cooperation which
he cannot guarantee. He further stated that
the pipe will provide access to the city's
storm sewer which he currently does not have.

Mayor Mertensotto asked what the fall on the
line must be. Engineer Eckles responded that
it must be a minimum of a 1� grade and in this
case it is 1.6�. He explained that the
steeper the grade is, the faster the water
flows. He stated that the pipe depth is
limited by the catch basin and storm sewer,
which is about five feet deep. He stated that
freezing in the storm sewer does occasionally
occur but is seldom a problem. He informed
Council that he believes there are other cases
where people are dumping into the storm sewer
and he is not aware of any problems.
Councilmember Smith stated that there must be
some general pattern that is followed for
dumping from sump pumps. She further stated
that Council must make sure that what is done
for Mr. Cohen can be done for others as well.
Mayor Mertensotto agreed, stating that Council
must be sure that the system will work
properly. He suggested that Schoell & Madson
be requested to give the city a letter
regarding what experience it has had with
freeze-ups, and assuring that the line will e
deep enough to avoid freeze-up.
Councilmember Smith asked Mr. Cohen if he
would be willing to accept that the city will
not take responsibility if the system backs
up. Mr. Cohen responded that he would.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the would rather
see that the system is properly eng�neered and
thaf Council must know up front that it will
work properly. He informed Mr. Cohen that the
city will not be responsible for any freeze-up
problems.
Attorney Hart stated that one way of dealing
with the matter would be to exempt the city
from any liability based on the engineered
plan or damage from freeze up. Mr. Cohen
agreed with the recommendation.
Councilmember Huber stated that Council should
require a letter from Schoell & Madson on
where they are using the system currently and
how it works. He asked if more manholes
should be �equired.

I am enclosing herewith a copy of a letter which I recently received from Einar Hanson, attorney
for Philig and Mary Cohen relating to the proposed "Subsurface Drainage System Maintenance
Agreement" provided to Mr. and Mrs. Cohen last November. As you will note, Mr. Hanson
has redrafted the agreement into two separate agreements, the first involving the initial
construction of the drainage pipe system and the second relating to maintenanc�bligations.
Although I am comfortable with the separation of the two portions of the agreement as
Mr. Hanson proposes, I would like to call your attention to two significant changes:
(i) Mr. Hanson has narrowed significantly the lease provision which is now set forth in
Paragraph 3 of the "Agreement Upon Access to and Maintenance of Storm Sewer Extension";
and (ii) neighbors who signed an owner's consent, and across whose property a portion of the
pipe will be running, will not be executing the release of the City, since their consent will only
be the original construction agreement.
For your convenience, I am enclosing herewith a copy of the last draft of the document prepared
by our office submitted to Mr. Cohen last fall.
I would suggest that you compare the language in the agreement prepared by ou'r office and the
agreements prepared in Mr. Hanson's office. I will be out of the office this week but will be

I enclose redrafts of the Agreements you sent to Mr. Cohen. As I mentioned when we
spoke a few months ago, I have split into two parts the Storm Sewer Extension Agreement that
you have drafted. The purpose for splitting these two agreements is to minimize the portion
of the agreement that needs to be filed.
As we discussed at that time, I have changed the signatories for the Storm Sewer
Construction Agreement to Copperfield Associates, Schoell & Madson and The City of
Mendota Heights. The Access Agreement has been made generic so that any owner that
wishes to tap into this storm sewer. extension would have to sign a copy of thi�agreement.
For instance, I would envision that the underlined portions of the first two paragraphs would
be replaced by other owners' names who desire access. With regard to the release language
in paragraph , both subparagraph (ii) and (iii) aze overbroad as originally drafted. I have tried
to redraft the rovisions to retain those risks at all likely to occur.
In the Owners' Consent provision, I have struck the last sentence. This same
information is contained in the Storm Sewer Extension Agre�ment. Inclusion of the sentence
is almost certain to cause the neighbors to not sign the consent, which will prolong
unnecessarily the completion of the Project. Finally, the risk of anything significant occurring
to the property from drain water leaking from a pipe running along the edge of these neighbors
property is so slight that including this sentence is likely to scare the neighbors for no apparent
reason.

At the Ma.rch 15, 1994 City Council. meeting, �he
considered a recommendation fram the Parks and Re
Commai.ssion to approve a concept plan for Nor�h Rensington F
includes landscaping, two barbecue pits, �our picninc ta
�wo benches alang �he pathway, ta be deaigned by a 1
architect. This recomm�ndatian by the Commission would inc
neighborhood suggestions in the de�ign and a proposed bu
recommended �o be $20,000 to $30,000 including landscape a
fees and costs.
The City Council, at it� Ma.rch 15, 1994 meeting, discu
possibility of adding a shelter to �he concept design and
stafi to cantac� the Universi�y of Minnesota to inqui
graduate student or program could design the l.and�cape p:
not, staff was to revisit Council wi�h respect to reql
proposals for a landscape archi�.ect.
There was no consensus on Che Cauncil
a shelter in the concept plan and the

The ColZege af Landscape Architecture at the Univer ity of
Minnesota was contacted about providing a landscape des'gn for
North Kensington Park. They mentioned �wo possibi2e approa�he� in
which they cauld provide as�istance.
One, the department'� Landscape Study Center ca
contracted to do th�.s work as a summer project. The Studi
include both Professors an.d graduate studen�.s to campl�
proj ect . This i� considered the more e�ensive approach bec
invol.ves the time a� Professor� and a team of stu.dents a�
result they typically take an projects that are bigger tha
Kensington Park. Funding �or �.he Study Center's project
working with ci�.ies) oiten comes from a mixture of city
Extension Service funding and private grant� . This �.ype af
package would require significant administrative coordina
ld be
would

�.use it
3 as a
North
{when
funds,
roj ect
ion by
�
the City. Assuming this project is approved by the School, this
approach may delay construction unti1�1995.
The second option, is to advertise through the Landscape
Architecture department for a graduate student, or team of
students, who would contract to do the project for the City. After
describing the project to Profe Lance Nekar, Graduate Advisor, he
estimated that the City could find a good graduate student to do
this work and that appropriate compensation would be a lump sum
amount of $2,500 for a project of this size and budget. With Prof.
Nekar's advice a recruitment ad was drafted that could be published
in the department's newsletter and posted on the job board.
(Please see attached recruitment ad.)
A third option, is to direct staff to seek requests for
proposals from professional landscape architects at a cost
estimated to be $3,000 to $5,000.
Concept Design
While both the City Council and the Parks and Recreation
Commission feel that a"backyard concept" which emphasizes
landscaping and greenery is preferred, more definition is needed to
provide the designers with adequate direction. Including a shelter
in the plan changes the budget, as proposed by the Parks
Commission, and would require a different landscaping orientation.
Since the March 15th meeting, Councilmember Smith has provided
staff with a catalog on gazebo's and shelters as a possibility in
this park. (Please see attached copies.)
RECONIl�lENDATION
At its March meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission
voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend that the City Council approve
a concept plan for North Kensington Park that includes landscaping,
two barbecue pits, four picnic tables and two benches along the
pathway, to be designed �y a landscape architect based- on the
suggestions for landscaping provided by the residents of the area.
A$20,000 to $30,000 budget, including landscape architect fees and
costs was also recommended to be funded from the Parks Referendum.
ACTION REQIIIRED
If Council so desires, they should consider the options for
obtaining landscape design services. Council should consider the
Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation on the "backyard
concept" design and the proposed budget.
CITY OF MENDOTA H�IGHTS
The City of Mendota Heights is seeking a third year �
student, or team of students, in landscape architecture to�
a park and landscape design project for its North Kensingt�
This project is expected to be completed in 1994 and con:
preparing plans and specifications for the landscaping �
Kensington Park, a 4.4 acre park. Will require night meeti:

t.� PHILOSOPHY
B�ckEround
At its inccption in 1983, thc MLA was weccivod as an advanccd dcgrcc focused on
scholarly research. Over the ye�azs moro and more studants applied to this program who
wished to obtain professional sldlls in addition w ezp]orIng research. In 1986 a tr,�ck was
definaci which ailoweci the MLA candidate ta complete the professi�nal courses in the BLA
pfo�ram atter being admitted to the Graduat� School. Since the inception of this rregram
6 sludcnts have graduat�d with this degree, which has n�quired a written thesfs.
Sinee the degree path was established� Univorsity and Collcgc initiatives havo tecommottded
that the department focus professional �ducadon and �liminate redunduncies in the cducation
options. Our sistet department in the collese, Architecture, determined to eliminate
nndergraduate professional program (Bachelor af Architecture, 5 years) and focus
professional education at the gradi�atE ievel. The I andscape Architectural factilty alsp f�und
an increasing maturity amongst the Department candidates for professional degrees. Many
ca��didatcs for vur vld BLA professional degree held previous cie�rees or had completed
significant ycars of college study. The average age of studcnts entcring our program had
beeomc 27 ycars. Thc major rcason for thc changc, howcvcr, is thc result of incrcased
knowledge and skills which the profession�l landscape nrchitect must bring to heAr on
problems in our society. ?'he facuity has determined that exposure to these knowledge areas
requires the additional tima provide� in a Maste.r's Degre�e format. .
Recen[ly che facul[y has reaefined the curriculum for [he MLA focussing purely on advanced
yr�fwsivnal �clucation within the graduate school context, One of che principal decisions of
this focussing proccss has been to eliminate the written thesis as an MLA requirement and
shiflt it to thc ncw MS degree. The program is organizcd to bc cntcred both through thc
Univetsity of Minnesota undcrgraduate, Bachelor of Environment�il Dcsign (BED) degsec,
as well as through completion of a bachelor's degree in other fields.

+.2 CONCENTRATION
The program does not require an area of concentration hut provides �an opportnnity for
students to concentrate on a specific issue. Initially a student must take a course in research
issues and methods (LA 820Q) which provides the student with an overview of reseaarch
opporiunities and process skills needed to investigate � topic of their choice. Following this
a st�dent is asked to eaplore four topics courses within the University which will provide
opporiunides for inquiry into selected areas of interest. During the last year of instruction,
the student is asked to select a special project whicb will serve to focus iriquiry (LA
8233)(5109). Tt�is course provides an opportuniry to investigate a special issue and select
a spocific environment to explore research questions. Finally, in the iast course (LA
8234)(5110, 8110) the student can�ies out a design project which provides.an opportunity to
explore issues and interests and demonstrate professional skills.

1. The cost of the Gazebos provided by Jill are for mater`als only.
Costs for grading, foundations, concrete work, carpent y
labo�,.: electrical, and painting will add 50� to 75� t
the "kit" costs.
2. The parks commission did NOT want to construct any par ing
area in this park. A facility intended to draw a large number
of people will require a parking area to keep excessiv
amount of cars off Mendota Heights Road for parking.
`3. Personally, I feel that Friendly Hills and Wentworth P�rks are
the appropriate parks for the installation of a shelte .
4.
The "backyard" concept anticipates occassional use of
facility which means fewer people in the park. This wi
can lead to more vandilism due to a lack of regular us
by residents. This could become a"hangout" for local

DISCIISSION
On February lst Council accepted the resignation of M. Bill
Healey from the Airport Relations Commission and authorize staff
to begin recruitment of a replacement commissioner. Adverti ements
were run in our local newspapers soliciting interested resid nts to
apply for the position. As of the closing date for replies March
4th, the City had received only one application (see attac ed).
, In the past the City has generally enjoyed the 1 ry of
choosing commission members from a pool of qualified res dents.
While the individual applying for the opening appears qua ified,
Thus the receipt of only one letter of interest for the urrent
posi�ion is disappointing.
Options available to the Council at this time inclu�de the
following: I
1. Council could interview the current applicant imme iately
prior to our April 19th meeting, and if appro riate,
appoint the individual to the Commission that vening
during the regular meeting.
2. Council could reopen the application period a d re-
advertise for the Commission opening. Interview could
be held immediatel.y prior to our May 4th Council eeting
and an appointment could be made that evening dur'ng the

Dear Mayor Mertensotto,
As a new resident of Mendota Heights I have been looking for ways
to get involved in my community. When I learned of the vacancy
on the Mendota Heights Airport Relatioris Commissiori I reaZized I
had found the perfect opportunity.
After living in Highland Park for 30 years and recenl:ly moving to
Mendota, the issue of airport noise is a familiar one. I have
always felt the surrounding communities should have more input
into the use of the airport and the opportunity �o become part of
the process is very exciting.
My experience with Arthur Andersen & Co. and now as the Vice
President of Finance of a$20 million manufacturing company, has
provided me with a lot of experience dealing «ith conflicting
viewpoints and building consensus. I believe I would be a sti•on�
advocate for our community and I would greatly appreciate i,he
opportunity to become a member of the commission.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Chuck,
I am writing to solicit yaur s.uppaxt and advice on resol.va.ng a pr
af mutuai concern: , tra�fic safe�y on t�iat section of Delaware
(.CSAH63) which separates our Cwo communities..
In 1993 there were I3 motor vehicle acca.dents on Delaware.Ave, tie. een
Highways 110 and 494, two of which inva].ved persanal injury. I th'nk
you wilZ agre.e that this is an alarming numiier af a�ciden�s far su h a
short sectian of roadway. '
Delaware Ave. was designed ora.gina].ly for 45 mph traffic in a 1ow
rura]. aitea. We are naw dealing wi.th higher density developmer�t,
dra.vewaqs with la.mited visibility due. ta .rolling terrain, and a s
tial i.ncrease in pedestrian and bicycle traffic. We believe the
limit should be reduced.
Speed studies have been done on that seetion of I}elaware within th
past twa years showing that 45 mph is within the 85�h percenti.le o
the driven speed, th� criterion that MND4T uses to set speed 1i.mi.t
The onlq appeal to that decision is on grounds af safety. I sugge
�the ma.yors and palice chiefs of our twp cities jointl.y petition th
(who, in turn, petition MNDOT) to lower the speed limit for �he r
abave. '
. _
A related issue a.s the extensian of b1icycle and pedestrian paths s
of �Iuber DriveJCharl�on Road. Encouraging such traffic would like
�gravate safety prablems as 1.ong as the present speeds are allowe
If the speed limit can be reduced and strictly enforced, then it w
be appropriate for our engineer5ta study the feasitiility of having
pathways constructed. , �
Please let me know youx' thoughts about all this, and perhaps we co
meet with our consultants to discuss it.
Yours very truly,
Francis B. Tiffany,

Regarding the accidents that have occurred on Delaware Avenue in Sunfish ake, I am

I am able to state that my experience has shown that greater speed inevitabl shortens

The City and Caunty requested that Mn/DOT upgrade�the Trunk Highway�

project. Improvements were to include;� a new traffic signal with left and right tu ' g L�nes
and widening of Lexingtan on the narth ta the �fronta.ge raad (Victoria Raad) and n the
south to Tom Thumb 8aulevazd. Costs for these improvements were to be shazed y the

Last fall when MnJDOT widened Lexingtoan Avenue they added curb and tter at
Victoria Raad and Victoria Gurve, The street width was established as the pavem nt width of,

SIIBJECT: Engineer Department Staffing Issues
INTRODIICTION
On February 28th Council conducted a workshop to di
number of topics including Engineering Department staffi
concerns. As a result of that workshop staff was instru
begin the recruitment process to hire a new registered e
to replace Klayton Eckles who left the City in January.
staff indicated at the workshop that a salary adjuatment
recommendation for our current engineer in training, Sha
Sanders, would soon be forthcoming. It is the intent of
memo to update the Council on the status of the Engineer
recruitment process and to describe the recommended sala
adjustment for Shawn.

As directed by Council, the recruitment for a new Ci il
Engineer III began on March 6th with the advertisement of the
position opening in the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, the
Southwest Review and the Women's Press. In addition, the
advertisement was also posted in approximately eight emp]� yment
referral locations. '
The application period ended on March 25th and a tot 1 of
eleven applications were received. These applications ar
currently being reviewed and interviews will be held some ime in
April.

With Klayton's departure, Shawn was called upon to "pick up
and run" with the above described projects and he has done an
admirable job at that. Jim Danielson reports he is very pleased
with Shawn's development as an engineer and is confident in his
ability to continue as a valued member of the department.
Due to the upgrade in duties and responsibilities associated
with Shawn's position, Council previously discussed the need to
likewise adjust Shawn's classification and salary. Currently
Shawn is paid $12.31 per hour which equates to an annual salary
of $25,230. As discussed at our recent workshop, this is
considerably less than comparable entry level engineering
positions in the Twin Cities area.
In recognition of the above, it is recommended that Shawn
Sanders receive a pay adjustment to Grade XVIII, Step A, of the
City's Position Placement and Pay Classification System with an
annual salary of $28,988. Given the fact Shawn has been
functioning as Klayton's replacement since January 1, 1994, it is
recommended Shawn's pay adjustment be made effective as of that
date. Shawn would then undergo a one year probationary period
which would expire on December 31, 1994.
BIIDGET IMPLICATIONS
The recommended salary adjustment is easily accommodated in
the City's 1994 Engineering Department Enterprise Fund Budget.
The budget document approved by the City Council on December 8,
1993 envisioned a salary adjustment for Shawn to $28,250
effective January 1, 1994, however, the pay resolution adopted on
December 21, 1993 inadvertently did not reflect this adjustment.
With Klayton's departure in early January, Shawn was recommended
for the position and the pay adjustment issue was put on �old
until a Council workshop on this topic could be held.
The City has also realized some cost savings by operating
with one less person for several months, and will further realize
savings when the new Civil Engineer is hired at a salary less
than that previously paid to Klayton.
ACTION REQIIIRED
Should Council concur with my recommendation, a motion
should be made to reclassify and adjust the salary of Shawn
Sanders, Civil Engineer I, to Grade XVIII, Step A, of the City's
Position Placement and Pay Classification System, effective
January 1, 1994. Shawn's new annual salary under this adjustment
would be $28,988.

The City was recently contacted by Eagle Scout Candid te Josh
Sokol, 1847 Faro Lane, about an Eagle Scout project he wi hes to
undertake. Such a project is necessary in order for him o earn
the rank of Eagle Scout, and he is asking for City coopera ion in
order to turn his project idea into reality. I
DISCIISSION
The envisioned project would seek to pair up ind�
looking for help with various household proj ects with youth
interested in providing community service. During the sumr
youth have time available to undertake such service, if or
could be directed to someone in need of their service. The
described in the attached letter from Josh explains how Y
coordinate such an endeavor.
Josh is seeking City assistance in handling phone ir
for his project. The City's phone number would accomp
publicity/advertising ma.terials and those interested in
having work done or volunteering to do the work would be �
contact City Hall. The City would then log the basic infc
and pass it along to Josh for his follow up. The duratior
project would be from April lst to July lst.

Al�hough the City's involvement in the projec� will result in
some additional work for staff, the anticipated value af the
program easily jus�ifies the naminal workload increase.
One concern which ahould be addressed as a candition of the
City's involvement relates to liability. While the City endorses
the concept behind �he proj ect, the individual proj ect participants
are not contractors and/or employees o� the City, and the City in
no wa.g passes judgment an their ability to perfarm �he work
requested. In a31 matters related to personal aafety and property
damage, the City expressly denies any reaponsibility andJor
liabili�y stemming from participation in �he program.
ACTION REQUSRED
Receive the project presentation from Ja�h Sokol and discuss
with him the City's willingne�s to assist in logging telephone

and the need to provide an appropriate disclaimer, shauld also be

Describe the project you plan to do. (Include drawings or sketches if applicable}.
My project'� name is Teen Temps {short for Teenage
Temporaries). The basic idea of it is to establish a link
between kids ages 13-15 who are either bored during the
summer or are �oo young or too busy ta hold a jab to the
community members wha otherwise would not have �he means to
do the job themselves. The part of this plan that benefits
the community is that we are giving a kid who might oth�rwise
be an the streets sometning constructive �o do, and we are
helping out the elder3y or physically disabled who would like
to have someone do things for thern.
I have discussed my plan with the city administrator
and he believes that it is a well thought out plan and he would
Iike to see a presentation at a city counce2 meeting. If my plan
is appraved, I wil1. make a full presentation to a councel meeting.
The role tha� they wi.21 be playing is tha� they would take the
phone calls if bath �he emplo�rers and the warkers. Then they wauld
fill aut the forms that I have enclased for �au to view. I would
have sameone stop by on a regular basis ta pick them up. In order
to keep these Eorms organized my dad and I have e�tablished a
computerized database on Filemaker Fro.
Tn order for the workers and employers to �ind out about my
plan, I have estab2ished an advertising pl.an. I will have the
scouts in my troap deliver flyers and I wiil �ake a group to the
public access televisian studio to make an infamercial. I am hoping
that I will alsa be able to get same local businesses invalved in

I will recruit the workers through my advertising. They will
be organized on my computerized database. I am planning on
occasionally showing up when people are working in order to see
how things are going and to take pictures for my Eagle Scrapbook.
The employers will be recruited and organized in a similar fashion.
In my advertising I will be selecting a few of the younger,
more well behaved scouts to do some of the advertising with me.
This would include deliverin

Calls are occasionally received from
senior citizens who wonder whether there
are any city programs to assist them in
finding someone to help with snow
shoveling, lawn mowing and other
strenuous maintenance tasks. There cur-

employer, nor would it accept any
liability. It would simply serve as an inier-
mediary. The City would mainiain a list of
names of people interested in performing
services needed by others. Those needing
help could call City Hall for a copy of the
list Specific details would be negotiated
by the private parties.
ff you are interested in providing "help-
ing hands," call City Hall, 452-1850, and
leave your name and number with Maria.
Ifyou are a senior citizen or disabled, who
would like the name of someone inter-
ested in helping, call the city offices for a
copy of the list It is not the intent of the
city to act as a broker for private
enterprise, therefore businesses which
provide maintenance services will not be
eligible to be placed on the list, ,�
