NORTH URBAN REGIONAL Council acknowledged a memo from
TRAIL Administrative Assistant Batchelder regarding
a request from Dakota County for a letter of
support for the concept of the North Urban
Trail (NURT).
Responding to a question from Councilmember
Krebsbach, Assistant Batchelder stated that it
is not exactly known where the trail will go
and that the County is just asking for support
for the concept. He informed Council that
Dakota County is currently is currently
working on plans for two regional trails - the
South St. Paul Riverfront Trail, and the
Northwest Regional Trail (Soo Line trail),
which will eventually connect the Harriet
Island/Lilydale Park with the Mendota Bridge.
He explained that the county wants to provide
an east/west access trail to connect the two
regional trails. He informed Council that if

Marie Avenue is used, the likely con�ection
will be Valley Park.
Councilmember Smith stated that she
concerned about regional trails run
through the city, and pointed out t
is also working on a trail. She as
trail would impact the residents on
Wentworth if it were located along
streets, and stated that she would :

Mayor Mertensotto asked if the propo al has
been discussed with the MNRRA, stati g that
there should be coordinated effort s that
there is no duplication.
Assistant Batchelder responded that he county
has hired a consultant who is to mak an
independent recommendation. After t at
recommendation is made, the County w'l1 bring
the matter back to Council.
Mayor Mertensotto directed that Assistant
Batchelder raise the question of coo ination
with MNRRA and Council's concerns by letter to
the county's consultant and at the ne t trail
committee meeting.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that h r
concern is the connection and what ki d of
impact it would have on Mendota Heigh s
residents.
IVY FALLS CREEK Council acknowledged a memo from Assi tant
Engineer Eckles recommending approval of the
plans and specifications for the Ivy alls

that the city has sixty days to award the
contract.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that
60 days is a standard in the contract, and
suggested that perhaps the city should specify
that the city reserves up to 90 days to award
the bid. He explained that if bids are
requested in January and they are too high,
there would still be time to re-bid the
project and complete the work in 1994.
Councilmember Huber moved adoption of
Resolution No. 94-04, "RESOLUTION APPROVING

improvements to serve the Friendly Hills First

supporting the project from Mr. & Mrs. Gail
Smith, 2123 Fox Place, Mr. & Mrs. Russell
Johnson, 2156 Aztec, and a letter opposing the
project from Mr. Bradley Herbert, 2158 Fox

Engineer Eckles reviewed drawings of �he

street rehabilitation and reconstruction
policy.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city has a
street reconstruction program and once
property owners pay for a blacktopped street
and it needs reconstruction or an overlay in
the future, the city will contribute 50% of
the cost of reconstruction to urban standards.
If a project is not constructed to urban
standards, there is no financial participation
by the city. He informed the audience that
the proposed project is not designed to
correct basement drainage problems but will
include a french drain system where storm
sewer is not available in case property owners
wish to drain their sump pumps into the
system.
Dr. Thaddeus Chao stated that he supported the
project at the original hearing because of the
drainage problems expressed by Mr. Ken Radke,
but he expressed concern over some of the
wording in Engineer Eckles' letter. He asked
what guarantee the residents have that the
assessment will not exceed $3,500 per lot.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that a feasibility
report is not the design of the project - the
plans and specifications have not yet been
prepared. He explained that the original
estimate was $3,750 per lot and Council asked
the engineering staff to see if that could be
reduced to $3,500. He stated that Council can
control the project amount by saying it does
not want to proceed if the bids are over the
estimate.
Mr. Mike Blake stated that he will receive
minimal benefit because his lot drains away
from the proposed french drain system and
asked why he must pay the same assessment as
lots which will receive greater benefit.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that when Mr.
Blake sells his home at some future time a
buyer will ask if there are any problems in
the neighborhood that will affect the property
value. He stated that if there is a
neighborhood drainage problem it will impact
property values. �
Mr. Blake stated that lots outside of the
boundaries of the project will benefit as will

Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she was an
advocate of expanding the project to take the
drainage from the bank property and that she
would like the project to alleviate as many
water problems as possible.
Councilmember Smith stated that she
understands that additional work will be done
outside of the project area and that those
costs will not be included in the project,
such as improving the water retention on the
fire station site.
Engineer Eckles responded that about $6,000 in
storm utility funds would be used for those
improvements, which are included in the
project cost but will not be assessed.
Mr. Blake stated that in the original hearing
discussion, everyone was proposed to be
assessed equally because everyone benefited
equally, but in this proposal he gets no more
benefit than the property owners on Dodd or
the outlots next to his which are not being
assessed. He asked Council to cancel the
project, contact the neighborhood for
suggestions and come back in a month with a
different plan. He felt that Council did not
listen to the neighborhood at the prior
hearings and should have polled the
neighborhood.
Councilmember Huber stated that he believes
Mr. Blake is correct in saying that a certain
level of neighborhood support is the sense
that property owners think they will be
getting some relief from basement water
problems. He asked what the rationale is to
not include the businesses along South Plaza
and Dodd in the project.
Engineer Eckles responded that the current
fire station site is being included in the
project, modifications will be made to improve
drainage from the old fire station site, and
the pipe from Mendakota Park is very small and
can be easily hooked into the storm system.
These costs will be supported by the storm
water utility fund. He informed the audience
Page No. 3 96
January 18, 1994
that the main purpose for the storm
portion of the project is to accommo
street reconstruction project. He s
the businesses are not part of the s
project which is what is driving the
sewer portion. Also, he stated that
would have difficulty in demonstrati
benefit to those properties whereas
neighborhood will certainly see an i

curb and gutter will eliminate the problem.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the project can
be just a street overlay project at an
approximate assessment rate of $1,500, but the
city would not contribute funding to the
project. He stated that the property owners
should let Council know if this is the type of
project they want.
Mr. Brad Herbert, 2158 Fox Place, stated that
he opposes the project and that he has no
water problem. He stated that if Council
approves the project, the streets should
remain at their existing width.
Mr. Connolly, 2153 Aztec, stated that he
opposes the project but that the street should
be patched.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that at one of
the hearings Council stated that it did not
want to poll the neighborhood because this
would pit neighbor against neighbor. She
explained that the project was expanded to
address as many of the water problem issues as
possible and stated that residents should
inform Council if there are any pieces of
information that it should be aware of.
Public Works Director Danielson explained that
this is the feasibility hearing and detailed
design work has not been done. He stated that
during the design phase staff would talk to
the neighbors and identify and try to solve
problems they raise in the final design
process.
Councilmember Smith stated that she agrees
that some of the problems are caused by other
properties and that some of those problems
have been addressed with the improvements
being recommended for the park and fire
station properties. She further stated that
she wants to be sure that whatever is done
will solve the problems to the best extent
possible.
Engineer Eckles responded that there are
always gray areas in a project and there is
always water coming from an area that is not
assessed. He explained that staff can look at

the points raised by Mr. Blake if C�un
feels the project needs to be chang d.
Mr. Tom Weinzettel stated that the �roblem
with the park was raised at the las hearing -
the city engineering staff said that there is
only an 8" pipe from the park, but ter comes
out at about 50 psi rather than a tr�ckle.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the audie cE
if the city were to just do an overl y
project, it would not tear up that p oj
the future to do a storm sewer proje t.
Mr. Weinzettel stated that he is aga

property should pay one-third of the
cost because it is water from the pa

Engineer Eckles responded that staff

Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the
streets which are in very bad shape should be
improved, such as Decorah and Pontiac and
suggested doing an overlay. She felt that it
would adversely affect the neighborhood to do
nothing and that at some time the city will
have to improve the streets. She stated that
the expansion of the project to include
drainage problems has become a major problem
and felt that Council should set a time to
again look at doing an overlay - perhaps
bringing the project back in September or
October.
Councilmember Huber stated that the
neighborhood opinion is about evenly divided
about the project. He further stated that he
would like Council to consider whether
everyone who should be assessed is proposed to
be assessed and then look at the First
Addition improvements. He stated that only a
few additional properties would be included,
those on Dodd and on South Plaza. He stated
that the problems will not go away and about
half of the property owners indicated a
willingness to contribute $3,500 for the
improvements. .
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she thinks
the key is whether the project will improve
property values by $3,500. She suggested
calling a moratorium and setting a go/no go
point - perhaps when 65� of the owners are in
favor of a project. She felt that the
residents would approve of an overlay project
and are in favor of doing something.
Councilmember Huber pointed out to the
audience that Council is very clear in
indicating that it is not trying to solve
basement water problems and stated that he
does not want to start all over again in a
year.
A lady in the audience who was in favor of the
project stated that right now Council can say
to leave it alone, but the issue will come
back. She stated that if only an overlay is
done, drainage from Dodd Road will erode the
streets and the city will have to look at
improvements again in five to ten years. She
also pointed out that if Council waits two

the city. Once the financing is completed,
there will be totally separate bond issues for
the Maple Grove and Mendota Heights projects.
City Attorney Hart stated that joint powers
agreements are generally just procedural and
informed Council that he has quickly reviewed
the agreement. He explained that it is
primarily a procedural method to avoid
duplication of issuance costs. He further
stated that any costs that the city incurs
must be paid by the developer and this
condition must be a part of the developer's
agreement.
Mr. Riley stated that he agrees to submit a
$2,500 deposit to cover city costs in
connection with the project, but felt that the
other fees have been taken care of in the
previous bond issue. He stated that there was
no requirement for any other fees to be paid
to the city at the time of original issuance
and that he did pay additional fees in 1990.
Councilmember Smith asked if there would be
any affect on the city's bond rating. Mr.

Mr. Riley responded that he has agreed that he
will do the work if it is actually required
but that there is a difference of opinion
between he and the fire marshal as to whether
they are required. He informed Council that
he has agreed to have the issue resolved
before the financing is finalized.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the
disagreement between Mr. Riley and the fire
marshal is not before Council and is a
different issue.
Councilmember Smith asked what the standard
practice has been for bank refinancing to lock
in a rate by a new mortgage.
Attorney Hart responded that in many
instances, if there is an extension in the
term, a fee is payable at that time. If it is
because of interest rates, the policy varies
from bank to bank. He stated that what Mr.
Riley is requesting is really an amendment of
an existing bond issue. He did not think there
is a clear comparison between what is proposed
and home mortgaging.
Councilmember Huber stated that the city would
be giving value to Mr. Riley and would be
lending its credit to him.
Mr. Riley stated that he has already received
that value and is not going for new bonds. He
explained that he originally financed the
project in 1983, via housing revenue bonds,
using construction financing at that time
because interest rates were 9 to 10� and went
to low floater FHA financing in 1990. He
stated that it was always intended to use long
term financing and the rates have come down
enough now. .
Mayor Mertensotto responded that if the bond
amount is the same as in 1990, the fee would
be $35,000. He stated that Mr. Riley has
already paid $15,000 and felt that he should
be willing to pay the other $20,000 now. He
pointed out that the city would be lending its
credit to Mr. Riley, and stated that when the
ordinance stipulating the fee structure was
adopted it was intended to apply to any
developer making a request to the city.

Administrator Lawell stated that the matter is
before Council this evening for concept only
and if Council is willing to consider the
request further, a request to schedule a
public hearing will be brought to Council in
February.
Attorney Hart explained that the affect of
what Mr. Riley is proposing is merely a change
in the interest rate but procedurally it is a
new bond issue.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that in his opinion,
the financing should be left as it is unless
the city would receive an additional fee. He
stated that the fee required by ordinance in
1990 was $35,000 and Mr. Riley paid $17,500 of
that amount.
It was the consensus to agree to the concept
and to direct staff to provide documentation
on the 1990 action and fee to Council as part
of the February 1 agenda.
NORTH KENSINGTON PARK Council acknowledged a memo from Assistant
Batchelder regarding a Park Commission
recommendation for approval of a concept plan
that includes tennis courts at Hagstrom-King
Park, additional landscaping at North
Kensington Park to accentuate the pond, the
forested hill and existing trail with an
option for future ice skating.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he understood
that North Kensington would be kept as a
passive park, but now the Park Commission is
suggesting using the north part of the park
for some kind of active use.
Assistant Batchelder responded that there was
never an understanding on what would happen
with the park and there was some disagreement
as to how it should be designed. He stated
that the discussion was put on hold until such
time as there could be input from the
neighborhood. He explained that while there
has not been a neighborhood meeting yet, the
Park Commission has discussed the matter for
two meetings and decided that they wanted some
concepts.

Councilmember Smith responded that she does
not see funding for anything else and that she
is not willing to commit funds for additional
tennis courts in Hagstrom-King Park until
there is a plan for North Kensington.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested holding a
neighborhood meeting before doing a concept
plan. He asked how much money would remain if
tennis courts and parking are built in
Hagstrom-King Park.
Assistant Batchelder responded that there is
about $80,000 in referendum funds remaining
and that tennis courts at Hagstrom-King would
cost about $40,000. He also stated that there
is the possible commitment of raising the
power poles in South Kensington Park, which
would cost about $25,000 but could be funded
through the Special Park Fund.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Special Park
funds could be used for development of North
Kensington, after meeting with the
neighborhood, since $25,000 of referendum
funding was reserved for raising the power
poles. He suggested that a neighborhood
meeting be conducted and that the Park
Commission make a recommendation after that
meeting.
Councilmember Huber stated that there is about
$6,000 to $7,000 available for spending, which
is about what was spent on improving most of
the neighborhood parks. He felt that the
city's position has been to suggest some ideas
on what could be done and then try to get
neighborhood feedback. He stated that the
Park Commission is saying they think it is
prudent to give a couple of options at the
meeting because it is difficult to hold a
meeting with nothing to show as to what will
fit in the space.
Councilmember Smith responded that the only
things she saw in the concept plans was some
landscaping and a possible skating rink.
Assistant Batchelder responded that the
Friendly Hills rink is the only one that
serves the south part of town. He explained
that the real issue before the Commission was
whether North Kensington should be an active
or passive park - future skating came in when

Mr. Wandschneider stated the proposed shed may be used on a
temporary basis. He stated he is considering the construction
of a new detached garage. He stated he is aware he can only
have one accessory structure on his property and if he
constructs a detached garage he will remove the shed.
Commissioner Koll inquired if landscaping will be completed.
Mr. Wandschneider responded he will be installing more trees
and he could plant some shrubbery.
Commissioner Dreelan stated she has no concerns with the
construction of the shed. She inquired what type of materials
will be used. Mr. Wandschneider submi.tted a brochure
explaining the type of materials used. He further explained
a contractor will construct the shed.
Commissioner Tilsen stated it is clear the hardship presented
is due to the location of the home on the land. In response
to a question from Commiggion Tilsen, Mr. Wandschneider stated
his property is 150' by 180'. Commissioner Tilsen stated
there is no other area available to place the shed.
In response to a question from Commissioner Tilsen, Planner
Uban stated he has suggested that the materials used be earth
tone in color to help soften the visual appearance from the
street. He further stated shrubbery will also help. Uban
further stated the shed should be placed further back than the
established front yard setback of the neighboring home.
Vice Chair Duggan opened the meeting to the public.
There was no one present to discuss this request.
Commissioner Koll moved to close the public hearing.
Commissioner Tilsen seconded the motion.

Commissioner Tilsen moved to recommend that the City Council

approaching the easements. Uban stated that only a forty
foot variance would have been required had MnDOT acquired
the McNeil property. He further stated that the McNeil
property is a,tiny sliver of property that probably
cannot be developed on due to size and setbacks.
In response to a question from Vice Chair Duggan,
Administrative Assistant Batchelder explained the City°s
code enforcement situation with the McNeil property.
Mr. Kilstofte briefly explained the proposed landscaping.
He explained that junipers will be placed to visually
screen the trucks from the top of the hill and on the
south aide of the building there will be shade trees
placed. Vice Chair Duggan inquired if Mr. Hudson would
be amenable to installing trees separating his property
and the McNeil property. Mr. Hudson stated it would be
nice to block the view and that he is not opposed to
installing more landscaping.
In response to a question from Vice Chair Duggan, Public
Works Director Danielson atated the old Highway 13 will
be used by Hudson Company and LCS Company. He stated the
new Highway 13 will be used by most of the traffic.
Danielson stated MnDOT will maintain the old Highway 13
and that they are discussing turning over the highway to
the County.
Mr. Hudson stated he has approached Mr. McNeil about
purchasing his property. He stated that he informed Mr.
McNeil that the site must be clean up before he will
purchase the property.
Commissioner Tilsen discussed the sewer relationship to
the proposed building. He stated that the McNeil side
will be more visible from the building. Danielson stated
that he prefers no shrubbery or trees be placed within
the easement. Tilsen stated that without the setback
variance there is enough room for screening. He inquired
if a forty foot eaaement is adequate and he further
inquired if the depth of the sewer is adequate.
Danielson responded yes<
In response to a question from Commissioner Tilsen,
Administrative Assistant Batchelder explained that Mr.
Hudson originally received a Conditional Use Permit to
operate a freight terminal and site plan review by
Council in March of 1992. He explained that Council

living. She stated that seniors have an op ion to
contract out services which are not provided by t e HItA.
She explained that the average age of seniors li ing in
the developments is 73 years with twenty-two (22) ercent
over the age of 80. She explained that one hundre (100)
percent of the seniors are from Dakota County.

of a senior housing development in 1998. She stated that
the plang are now to acquire property in 1994 and
construct the building in 1995. Vice Chair Duggan stated
the City Council has earmarked funds for site selection
with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Ms. Gill presented a slide show reviewing statistics on
senior population in Dakota County, the number of seniors
on waiting lists in 1992 and 1993 and the demand for
senior housing.
Ms. Gill reviewed �lides of senior developmenta in
Lakeville, West St. Paul, Burnsville, Eagan, Hastings and
Inver Grove Heights. She explained that each of the
developmenta include community rooms, living units and
underground parking. She noted that each of the
developments have been designed to fit well within each
of the neighborhoods (i.ee siding in West St. Paul, brick
in Hastings and stucco in Eagan). She further explained
that the development in Burnsville has already been
expanded with twenty (20) additional units. She further
stated that some of the Cities have provided additional
funding for alternate items (i.e. brick and additional
units)e Gill further stated that the Eagan site leases
garage space to the DARTS transportation program.
In response to a question from Vice Chair Duggan, Gill
stated the County has an option on a site in Apple Valley
for a 50 unit building. Gill stated the Cities of South
St. Paul and Rosemount have earmarked monies for senior
housing.
Gill reviewed a typical floor plan of each unit. Ms.
Gill also explained the County has used the same
architectural firm with a low bidder for construction of
the buildings.
Duggan stated that Mendota Heights has a large population
of seniors and he inquired if the County would come back
in the future to expand the units. Ms. Gill responded
that this could be a long term goal but that some Cities
have extra land available for any additions.
Vice Chair Duggan referring to the "Needs Assessment and
Market Demand Study for Senior Housing in Dakota County",
page 8, noted that Mendota Heights estimated senior
population exceeds that of Dakota County's estimate over
the same period of time.

Treasurer
We have recently been advised by MWCC oaE the final billing for
our 1992 sewer charges. Earlier we indicated to the Council that
we anticipated a substantial under payment and that we could
anticipate a aubstan�ial increase in sewer chargea in 1994.
The final billing for 1992, as attached, shows �hat we will be
paying an $84,839 shortfall in 1994. For 199I. we had a credit of
$7,187 which results in a swing of addi�ional charges of $92,Q00
for 1994 .
Each year we receive from MWCC an estima.�ed bill for sewer
service. TYIE.' �'}1�,�,1.IlGJ is based on our es�imated volume and the MWCC
costs. Sn addita.on, the billing includes a.n adju�tment for the
actual costs an.d volumes from the previous completed year �1994
billirig includes final 1992 adjustments).

4. REPORT FROM CONTINENTAL - J. Miller reoorted that Randall Coleman, Continental
Cablevision �lice President, stated that the security system at Southview Gables
will not be moved from Regional Channe] 6 to Channel 64 until February 1.
Continental will notify Southview Gables residents of this development. The cause
of the delay was attributed to this being a busy time of year for technical staff
combined with a delay in receiving equipment necessary to make the change-over.
Two residents at Southview Gabies have regis�ere�d concern with the Con�7ission
office over possibiy not being able to view programming on Regional Chan�el 6
during the month of January. It was the consensus of the group that the
Commission not accept delays beyond the February 1st deadline in making Regional
Channel 6 available to residents of Southview Gables.
A letter was received from Continental Cablevision stating that the FCC has
determined that Continental does not have to provide the Universal level of
service to residents in the NDC service area. Continental will send a letter to
subscribers stating Universal service will no longer be offered.
Continental will revise their billing format. NOC4 staff will have an opportunity
to review the format before it is put in place. •

at time when the outcome of FCC rulings affecting the fees were unknown. The
Budget Committee will be comprised of the Executive Committee, although any
Commissioner may attend the Committee meetings and all Commissioners will be
advised when the Committee will meet.
J. Miller reported that staff has met on several occasions cver the past month in
an effort to evaluate the staffing situation with a view toward putting together
a comprehensive plan for staffing that w;il carry the organizations well into the
future. As a result of these discussions, it is recommended that one full-time
person be hired in �he near future to act as an education liaison with the
sc±�uols, to work on building the core of volunteers necessary to alleviate the
staffing shortage that now exists, and to work with training. Staff has placed
a high priority on retaining people who have taken classes and enlisting them as
volunteers and in becoming involved on a regular basis in assisting in or
producing programming. With the savings in budgeted money that.has occurred as
a..result of staffing transitians over t�he �past six� tnonths, �ther�`would be enough
money available to also hire a part-time production assistant who would be
responsible for the routine production tasks now being performed by the more
highly-paid, full-time employees.
Discussion followed in which it was agreed to hold off making decisions on
staffing until estimated 1994 revenue numbers are obtained f rom Continental. It
was pointed out that currently staff is operating without one full-time position,
creating inefficiencies and cuts in service. It was agreed that staffing is vital
to the operations of NDC4 and NDCTV and that any cut in staffing will mean cuts
•in service.
J. Miller requested approval to reLain Rob Goldberg at his current hourly rate of
$6 on a temporary part-time basis and to authorize an increase in time for uo to
23 hours per week for oermanent part-time emoloyee Karyn Sachs until a decision
is made regarding staf�ing in order to provide essential programm�ng for the
schools on Channels 19 and 32. Motion 1.5.94.4 to authorize �ontinuing io oay Rcn
Goldberg at his current hourly rate of $6 for part-time services in order to
continue providing tape playbacfc for schools on the access channels until such
time as the permanent staffing issues are resolved was"made by R. Vitelli and
seconded by G. Tourville. Discussion fol7owed and a friendly amendment was made
by John 0'Brien and accepted �o include �ontinuing to pay part-time employee Karyn
Sachs for up to 3 hours per ��reek additional time because of extra work involved
in scheduling access channels. The vote was taken and unanimously carried.
J. Miller announced that NATOA wi11 be sponsoring a training seminar dealing with
rate regulation issues in late .Sanuary in Indiana. Moss & Barnett will be sending
someone to the meeting who will be able to disseminate pertinent information from
the seminar to NDC4.
Tne MACTA Annual Conference will take place on Friday and Saturday, January 28 and
29 at a conference center in Plymouth. R. Vitelli and John 0'Brien indicated an
interest in attending. A couple of staff inembers have also indicated a desire to
attend, as well. Motion 1.5.94.5 to authorize sending up to four people to the
conference was made by J. Ista, seconded by J. 0'Brien, and unanimously carried.
Prospective attenders need to confirm their interest in attending the conference
by January 18. .

G. Tourville reported that a meeting took place concerning line extension in areas
of Inver Grove Heights not currently serviced by cable. Representatives from
Dakota Electric and Continental Cablevision were present to answer questions from
interested residents. Continental will review their engineering costs and
formulate a plan the first part of February; the Commission could undertake an
engineering audit if they deem pertinent. Options for helping to pay for the
cost of this line extension were discussed and included using the Franchise Fee
payment from the affected subscribers, or using some of the money NOC4 returns to
the cities.
Requests have been received from residents in the line extension area to be able
to have access to PEG channels. Some residents have invested in satellite dishes
but are not able to receive access programming via the satellite. A meeting to
discuss a similar line extension situation may be held with residents of Mendota
Heights. . . . _ . . .

CITY OF MENDOTA HIIGHTS
:� •
January 28,
TO: � Mayor, City Council and City Administra
FROM: Jim Danielson, Public Works D.ec
SUBJECT: Traffic Signal Trunl� Iiighway 149 and Mendota Heights Road
DISCUSSION:
Over the past several years the Convent of Visitation School, and the City
Heights have been pressing MnDot to install a trafFic signal at TH149 (Dodd Roa
Mendota Heights Road. During rush hour this intersection is extremely difficult �
and several accidents have occuned. This fall MnDot officials agreed to join a ta
consider the problem and work towazd finding a solution.
The first monthly meeting was held in November with MnDot, parents and
administrators from the Convent of Visitation School and Mendota Heights official,
(later St. Thomas Academy was also represented). At these meetings MnDot was i
very cooperative and many new ideas were suggested to improve the operation of tl
intersection. All of these ideas would make minor improvements but none of tliem
really solve the problem like adding a signal light would. Finally, at the 7anuary n
MnDot brought forth a plan that would allow for early installation of a traffic signa
Through the "Special Agreements" pmgram MnDot caa undertake a joint �
with the City for funding of the signal. This "Special Agreements" program currE
$SM for use in FY 95 (July 1, 1994 - 7une 30, 1995), however, the closing date i
application is rapidly approaching and we need to take action tonight if we intend
considered for funding in the FY 95 program. If we apply and are unsuccessful v
application for MnDot Special Agreement funding, the City could still pursue sig
installation by funding the entire project itself. (The MnDot Task Force members
very optimistic abflut our success in receiving Special Agreement Funding).
The cost of a new signal is estimated to be $90K for the signal itself and $1
administration, design and inspection. If we are successful for Special Agreement
the State would pay for one-half of the signal costs or $45K. The City would pay
half of the signal plus all of the design/administrative costs. In a normal MnDot p�
cost sharing would be reversed with the State paying for all the design, administra
one-half of the cost of the signai (based on the entering legs theory).

If we are not successful in our fianding request the remaining option would l�e for the
City to pay for all the costs (approximately $110i�. Funding for thi.s option could come from
MSA, and/or other contributions (from Yhe schools?). Because this signal is on a Trunk
Highway, MnDot needs to authorize installation of any signal and NdnDot Task Force
members have given us their assurance that the authorization would be given even if the City
funds the entire project.
In any of the above scenarios the State will retain its normal maintenance and repair
duties once the signal is installed.
The City did pursue an earlier "Special Agreements" Project with MnDot in
investigating upgrading the TH110/TH149 intersection. That project turned out to be a$1M
project with the City's share of the costs too high and the project was abandoned.

SUBJECT: Feasibility R�port for Pilot Knob Itoad
(Dakota County 31A) Watermain
7ob No. 8420A
Improvement 84, Project 2A
HISTORY:
Approximately 10 years ago, Garron Corporation, represented by Steven Gage
a feasibility study for utilities to serve a pmposed office building at the north end of
Road. The report was accepted by the Council and plans were ordered. Plans fi
building were abandoned and the project was put on hold by Garron Corporation. In
the Mendota Interchange Project imminent), Mr. Gage, now representing Edge Comm
Estate, again requested utility service to the site.
A second feasibility hearing for a full project was held and plans were orde
In early 1991, the Church of St. Peter also pe�itioned for sanitaty sewer and water
feasibility report covering Pilot Knob Road, St. Peter's, and the Mendota Interchan
was ordered by Council and a third feasibility hearing was held in June 1991.
Because of maay changes in the Mendota Interchange project staging by Mw
another feasibility hearing was held in March of 1992; this time the Pilot Knob �
connection to Highway 13 was not included, only utilities to be constructed by Mn/Di
of the Mendota Interchange were addressed. Utilities serving St. Peter's, however, v�
of this project (8420C). Now, with the completion of the Mendota Interchange project
for August 1994, it will be necessary for the City to construct a connection be
watermain on Pilot Knob Road at Acacia Boulevard and the watermain on Highway 1
to complete the connection to St. Peter's Church and the City of Mendota.

In recent conversations with Steve Gage, he has indicated that there is no de' elopment
planned in the immediate future for the Garron site. In order to accommodate e highest
possible use of the area, it is proposed to insta1112" watermain to the Garron site, an continue
8" watermain down to Highway 13, wluch will complete service to St. Peter's and e City of
�
/ �
Mendota. The existing gravel road north of Acacia Boulevard will be restored to its present
condition, pending future development. When the Garron site is developed, sanitary and storm
sewers will be extended to Pilot Knob Roacl and the street widened and upgraded to City
standards.
The estunated costs for the project are $84,000 for watermain and $17,000 for street and
easement restoration. Project costs aze proposed to be split between assessment by front footage
and trunk area, due to the large pazcels which front Pilot Knob Road. Trunk assessments would
also cover the restoration costs. Trunk rates for watermain remain unchanged from the 1991
report at 1.5 cents per square foot. Front foot assessments for watermain remaia unchanged at
$28 per front foot plus any service connections. As in the 1991 report, it is proposed th�t Tax
Increment Financing (1'� pick up the cemetery frontages and watermain oversizing. If
cemetery properiy is ever sold for development, a hookup charge for water service would be
levied to cover T'� expenses. It is also proposed to assess the Garron site for trunk sanitary
sewer costs for Project 8420C being installed by Mn/DOT. As covered in the 1991 and 1992
feasibility hearings, the sanitary trunk assessment rate is 3.3 cents per square foot. The
following chart shows the cost split between the Garron property and T'�.

With the exception of the computer system purchased ate
last year, most of the administration and engineering com uters
are reaching obsolesence. Five of the units were purchas d as
part of our original computer network acquisition in 1984 and
age is showing. As an example, two monitors have had to e
replaced within the past six weeks. We propose to purcha e four
new computer systems, including a new network server, thi year.
The Laserjet Series II printer which is several years old and
showing wear, is also budgeted for replacement.
We are currently running our network with the Novell
286 operating system. The software is badly in need of
upgrading, and will be replaced (as budgeted) if the comp
equipment purchases are approved. The new network server
set up as a dedicated server, with two drives. One of th
will be "mirrored", so that everything contained on the m
drive will automatically be duplicated on the other. In
event of damage to one of the drives, all of the informat
programs will be retrievable from the back-up drive or fr
We have requested quotes from four vendors, Business
Innovation Technologies (Bob Doffing), Crabtree Companies,
Spectrum Computers, and Banyon Data Systems. We had asked
quotes on three different systems - systems 2 and 3 being
in all regards except that the system 3 did not include a
drive. We had anticipated removing the drive from the exi
server to use in the "system 3." Unfortunately several dz
errors have occurred during the past two weeks, causing sy
crashes. It is apparant that the drive is "on its last le

and hope that it will work. Therefore, I recommend the purchase
of a server and three of the system 2 units.
The quotes from BDS and Spectrum were very similar. The total
price for the four units quoted by BDS is $10,296 versus $10,025
from Spectrum. As you may recall, the computer we bought in
December was purchased from Spectrum. I am pleased to report
that it is an excellent machine, meeting or exceeding my
expectations. The server unit quoted by Spectrum is the same
computer in all respects except for the monitor and drive
specifications. I have no reservations about recommending its
purchase as a network server.
The base printer quote from Spectrum is for a Brother
printer, and is about $400 less than quoted by Banyon Data
Systems, the next lowest bidder, for a Hewlett-Packard. While
the Brother is highly rated in the computer magazine reviews, it
is not a true 600 dpi printer and is not rated as highly as the
HP. I would prefer to spend the extra money to purchase a state-
of-the art HP Laserjet. Also, we have had excellent experience
with the HP LaserJet products in the past. BDS qouted $1,375 for
the unit but did not quote a price for additional memory.
Crabtree quoted $1,469 for the unit plus $750 for 12 megabytes of
additional memory ($2,219 total).
The 1994 Engineering Fund budget allocated $1,000 for
equipment, to reimburse Administration for computers it will
receive as part of Administration's computer upgrading. -
Engineering will receive two computers, including the IBM PS-2
computer and scanner formerly used in Administration which will
delay the need to purchase replacements for perhaps two or three
years. The PS-2 holds the hardware and software needed to
communicate with the Mn/DOT State Aid Department.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend purchasing a server unit, and three of the
'"system two" units from the low.bidder, Spectrum, for a total
cost of $10,025, and a Hewlett Packard Laserjet 4 printer, with 8
mb of additional memory, from BDS or Crabtree whichever quotes
the lowest total cost.
ACTI4N REOUIRED
If Council concurs in the recommendation it should authorize
the issuance of purchase orders to Spectrum Business Systems for
$10,025 and to authorize the purchase of an HP Laserjet 4, with 8
megabytes of additional memory from BDS or Crabtree at a cost not
to exceed $2,119.

The home sits high on a hill with access down to Lakeview Avenue. The home apparently as built in
1936 and moved to the site as a HUD home prior to the Ciry unprovements being made. F om the
home there is a view of the lake which is why the house sits on the hill in the back comer o the lot.
Because of the house location, it is an existing nonconforming structure because it is actuall placed in
the required rear yard.

Variance Request
The proposed accessory structure is a 144 square-foot shed to be located in the front yard. The
ordinance requires that no detached garage or other accessory building shall be located closer to the
front lot line than the principal building on that lot. The shed is located in an area that is most
accessible from the driveway for ease of equipment storage. The proposed location is behind the front
line of the adjacent single-family homes. Although the applicant did not submit a topography map of the
property, there is significant grade on the property.
A hardship should be considered based on the home location and topography of the property. The
proposed accessory building will be set back over 50 feet from the closest property line and appears
that it would not have a significant impact on the general appearance of the neighborhood. Because the
accessory structure is located in front of the principal structure, a variance can be considered with
conditions. The color and material of the building, as well as any softening landscaping could be
considered mitigation to the building placement.
Action
Review the requesterl variance and make a recommendation to City Council. Considerations:
1. Propose shed be placed further back than the established front yard setback of the neighboring
home. �
2. Earth-tone colors be used on the structure to soften the visual appearance from the street.

SUBJECT: Case No. 94-02: Hudson - Variance
Mr. Jim Hudson, owner of Hudson Company, and
Rilstofte, Architect, appeared before the Planning Commi;
request a ten foot (10') rear yard setback variance in t]
Industrial Zone. The Variance is being requested t
construction of a proposed, attached warehouse addition o
square feet on an adjacent parcel owned by Mr. Hudson. (Pl
attached Planner's Report and Application).
The Planning Commission reviewed the relocation of t
hydrant, vacation of the utility easement, the setback
requested, storm water ponding, berming along Highway 13
site plan review standards. The site plan was revie
parking, lighting, signage and landscaping. (Please see
Planning Commission minutes) .
The Planning Commission felt the Variance was ac
because: 1) the configuration of the property; 2) the prox
the rear yard to new Highway 13 ; 3) the McNeil remainde:
felt those factors combined to form a practical diffic�
hardship.

In addition to the requested rear yard setback, City Council
should conduct a aite plan review. This site plan rev'ew can
consider such items as parking, storm water drainage,�land caping,
building materials and colors, lighting and signage.
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to close the public earing.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recomm nd that
City Council approve a ten foot (10' ) rear yard setback var ance to
allow construction of the warehouse, as proposed, w th the
following conditions:
1. That relocation of the hydrant be subject to City
Engineer approvale
2. That the storm water ponding plan be subject to City
Engineer, Dakota County and MnDOT approval.
3. That the applicant petition for a vacation of the utility
easement.
4. That the variance be subject to City Council review of
the building permit.
5. That more landscape materials be added on the east side
at a future date subject to City staff approval.
6. That berming or a retaining wall be considered along
Highway 13.
7. That external lighting for the proposed warehouse be
consistent with the existing lighting on the existing
building.
ACTION RE4IIIRED
Meet with the applicant. Conduct a site plan review to
authorize the issuance of a building permit. If the City Council
desires to implement the Planning Commission recommendation, they
should pass a motion to approve a ten foot (10'� rear yard setback
variance to allow construction of the warehouse addition, as
proposed, with the above stated conditions.
City Council, if they so desire following the building/site
plan review, should authorize staff to issue the building permit
for the proposed warehouae addition.

Jim Hudson
14b0 Sibley Memorial :
Variance for Rear Yard
John Uban
Hudson Companies currendy operates a cold storage trucking facility along Sibley Memori
(Highway 13) and Perron Road. The new Trunk Highway 13 has been relocated to the bac
properiy. The relocated highway has left a remnant parcel of land to the rear of the Hudsor
separating the subject property from the new Highway 13. Penon Road is platted along th
edge of the property but the road and utilities aze actually constructed south of the platted r
The enclosed drawings show that arrangement. Penon Road is a gravel road giving access
parcel to the south and the severed parcel along the new Highway 13 to the north.
1 Highway
:ofthe
facility
southern
the
The existing facility is located on Pazcel 1, and the proposed warehouse addition of 34,100 square feet
is proposed to be located on Parcel2. The proposed facility will be larger and higher than e existing
building. The building design continues the architectural banding found on the existing buil ing. No
other architectural details were submitted. A utility corridor is located along the rear prope line
which includes sanitary sewer and water.
The proposed addition necessitates the relocation of water line, storm sewer and hydrant. e applicant
will need to petition for the vacation of the utility easement that divides Pazcel 1 and Parcel2. A public
hearing for that vacation will be held at the City Council. The applicant will also need a bu lding permit
review at the Ciry Council in addition to this vaziance request.
The proposed plan continues the basic pazking and loading arrangement as found on the ex' ting
building. No new access is proposed to Highway 13 and the existing driveways will be util ed for the
truck and automobile movement. The total site calculations indicate a floor-area ration of . 4 which is
less than the .50 allowed by ordinance. The amount of green area is 38%.
City Staff has mailed notice for a public hearing for the variance. The hearing should be he�d for
neighborhood input.
Jim Hudson, Case 94-02
Site Plan
25 January 1994 Page 2
Required parking is one parking stall for every 2,000 square feet of warehouse, which would equate to
31 parking stalls. The total site plan shows 45 parking stalls with room for more parking around the
perimeter. This appears to be ample parking for the warehousing plus the amount of office that is
needed for the operation. Ordinance 19.5 (3) requires screening of the parking which was installed
with a four to six-foot berm along Highway 13 for the existing building. The proposed warehouse
addition, however, has storm ponding between the highway and the proposed parking and loading area.
A four-foot berm is not in place. The screening is required and should be included in the plan, in
addition to the proposed landscaping. A half-berm and retaining wall is possible, or the addition of
significant conifers all along the perimeter would also provide adequate screening.
The ponding areas appear to be su�cient but should be reviewed by engineering. Most of the ponding
that is shown occurs in State right-of-way and a permit must be received from the Highway Department
to use public right-of-way for ponding. MnDOT is often worried about the creation of new wetlands
through these ponding devices and in the past has restricted private development from ponding on State
right-of-way.
Based on the screening requirements of the City of Mendota Heights in industrial areas for parking, the
landscape plan should include additional plantings as previously discussed. Additional landscaping
would also be beneficial along Perron Road between the building and the right-of-way. Although this
road is not used a great deal and only by the adjacent landowner, the 110-foot expanse should have
approximately four more shade trees to help soften its appearance and provide shade from the southern
exposure. The applicant is proposing to save the existing large conifers at the corner of Perron and Old
Highway 13.
Although specific signage was not included in the submittal package, it has been indicated on the
architectural elevation that a logo sign band is proposed. It should be noted that the signage would
need to be reviewetl at a separate time when more details are supplied. No other signage at the
entrances or elsewhere on the site have been proposed.
No parking lot lighting plan was submitted for review.
Variance Request
The requested variance is for the rear yard setback adjacent to the utility conidor along the eastern
edge of the property. A 50-foot setback is required and a 40-foot setback is being provided. The front
edge of the existing building lines up with the new addition to maintain functional and aesthetic
continuity. A 40-foot building setback is being maintained along Perron Road right-of-way. The actual
setback to the road surface itself, since it is built off of the right-of-way, is between 80 and 90 feet. At
this point, tliere appears to be no good opporiuniry to move the right-of-way at Perron Road to match
the existing road and utility alignment. When the properiy to the south subdivides or further develops,
adjustments to the right-of-way or the road could be explored.
The proposed 40-foot rear yard setback abuts a remnant parcel left over after MnDOT expanded Trunk
Highway 13 right-of-way. Much of this property is not developable because of its narrow configuration.
In fact, based on 40-foot setbacks, all of the property to the east of the proposed warehouse addition is
undevelopable for any structure. Since we do not anticipate a structure to be built behind the
warehouse, the 10-foot variance in setback has minimal impact. If this land were right-of-way, the
front yard or side yard setback to a street right-of-way would be 40 feet versus the 50 feet that is
Jim Hudson, Case 94-02
25 January 1994
required for a rear yard. This property might be usable to the Hudson Company at some
future for parking or other uses. •
The proponent, Jim Hudson, has stated that the configuration of the warehouse space is of a
size to meet the requirements of his operation. Only two other options are available. One w
vacation and relocation of Perron Road and expansion of the building by approximately 9�'0
to pick up the necessary square footage. That process would need the cooperation and dedic
adjacent landowner to the south. The other option is for Hudson Company to purchase the �
parcel to the east that is the remnant parcel from the Highway 13 taking. This would elimin
for the rear yard setback for the building. This parcel has not been assembled at this tune a�
knowledge is not available for sale.

Although it appears the 10-foot variance from the rear yard setback would have minimal imp ct on
surrounding properties, mitigation conditions can be required to protect the public interests. As
previously mentioned, the proper screening of parking and loading with berming and lands ing is
needed. Additional landscaping on the south side, and the permitting of ponding on State rig t-of-way
can be part of conditions to a variance. Also, confirming architectural details of building m terials and
design can be requested.
Action
Hold the public hearing and review the variance request. Make a recommendation to the Ci Council.
Considerations:
1.
2.
The applicant should further detail azchitectural design and materials including
and signage.
Provide alternate ponding location or acquire a ponding permit from MnDOT.
3. Provide parking and loading screening for old Highway 13 and along Penon Road.

Planning Commission & City Council
1101 Victoria Curve
Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Dear Planning Commission & City Council:
We are submitting a request for a variance on a set back of forty
feet on the backside of parcel lot ##1. The parcel is adjacent to
parcel lot ##2 which is currently occupied by Hudson Co., Inc. at
1460 Sibley Memorial Highway Mendota Heights, MN 55120. We
would like to build a cold storage freezer adjacent to our
refrigerated trucking company. We need to maximize the set back
to accommodate two specific storage customers volume •
requirements, and also be able to maneuver incoming vehicles at
the front of the building.
We also would like to vacate a utility easement between the two
parcels and move the fire hydrant to the front of the building,
coming off the hydrant at the corner of Peron Road and Highway
13.
We would like a response to this request as soon as possible
because of pending commitments to two important customers.
Thank you for your time in addressing this matter.
Sincerely,

BA�RGROIIND ON BOND ISSUANCE
The Lexington Heights Apartment Project was o;

to gain authorization to refinance the bonds on more :

When the original bonds were issued in 1983, the ity only
required the payment of an issuance fee for industria revenue
bonds and no for multi-family housing revenue bonds. n May of
1985 the City adopted Resolution #85-40 which establish d guide-
lines for the issuance of tax exempt housing mortgage revenue
bonds, including the provision for an issuance fee.
As described in the attached City Council minu
September 4, 1990, the City Council authorized the issuan�
1990 bonds subject to the payment of a issuance fee of $7
the City. The full fee called for under the terms of Re
#85-40 on an $11 million multi-family housing revenue bond
$35,000.

Interestingly, the bond documents related to the 1990 bond
issuance provide for an easy conversion to a fixed rate bond which
would not require the authorization of the City Council, the
calling of a new public hearing, the generation of a new bond
transcript, or the payment of a new fee to the City. However, due
to new IRS regulations, the desire of Mr. Riley to substitute new
letters of credit in the transaction, and the goal of jointly
undertaking the refinancing with the City of Maple Grove, an
entirely new bond issue is no�v necessary.
BACKGROIIND ON FIRE CODE ISSIIES
As discussed at our last meeting, a number of fire code
violations currently exist at the Lexington Heights Apartments
Project. These code violations have been pursued to no avail since
October 1992. It is my recommendation that the correction of these
code violations be made a condition of the City's approval of the
newly requested bond refinancing.
The primary violation which needs correction relate� to the
audibility of the fire alarm system. Based on the results of three
aeparate audibility tests, the fire alarm systems in each of the
three Lexington Heights' buildings do not meet the audibility
standards set forth in the National Fire Codes. In an average
residential setting, such alarms need to emit a signal which
measures at least 50 decibels in the bedrooms of each apartment
unit. This standard is not currently being met.

issues which may require attention include the

Assuming the above issues are satisfactorily resolved, Council
needs to consider the attached resolution which is copied on blue
paper. This resolution gives preliminary approval to the issuance
of the bonds subject to a public hearing which would be called for
March 15, 1994, and also approves the Joint Powers Agreement with
the City of Maple Grove related to the joint refunding. City
Attorney Tom Hart is currently reviewing these documents and will
be prepared to comment on their �uitability at our February lst
meeting.
The City of Maple Grove has already approved the Joi
Agreement and has consented to having the City of Mendot
act on their behalf in issuing the bonds. The City of Ma
does not have a policy which requires the payment of an
fee for housing revenue bonds, although they did rece
reimbursement for their costs associated with this
(approximately $500).
ACTION REQIIIRED
Council should discuss with Mre Riley the terms un�
the City will agree to participate in the bond refinancin
and if appropriate, adopt RESOLUTION N0. 93- giving pr

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
April 11, 1991
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Admin�.stt��'
FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer
° SUBJECT: Bond Refinancing for Lexington Heights Apartments
HISTORY
In 1983, the City approved the issuance of Multi-Family
Housing Revenue Bonds in the amount of $11,000,000 to finance the
Lexington Heights Apartment project. At this time, the Bonds were
issued as variable rate bonds.� During 1990, the developer planned
to reissue the bonds a a fixed rate, and the City Council approved
the change. Due to money market conditions at the time, the bonds
were issued as temporary bonds.
DISCIISSION
At this time, the developer is ready to issue the permanent
bond for the project. This action requires the City to approve a
new loan agreement and Trust Indenture. These documents have been
prepared by Holmes and Graven Attorneys for the developer, and
reviewed by the City Attorney, Winthrop and Weinstine.
The Bonds will be issued as Series A and Series B which
requires adoption of two separate resolutions.
As previously stipulated by the Council, an issuance fee for
the permanent financing was paid to the City by the developer when
the temporary bonds were issued in 1990.
ACTION REOIIIRED
Adopt Resolution No. 91- and Resolution No. 91-
approving loan agreement and Trust Indenture and authorizing the
new issues of permanent financing for the Lexington Heights
Apartment project.

with applicable fi�e code standards, A nuimber af fire
code violations currently exist a� Lexington Hea.ght�
Apartmenta which require immediate attentian. Prior
attempts to have theae matters addreased by the property
owner have proven unsuccessful. I recommend requiring
Chat these improvements be completed prior to the closing

Council should discuss the concept of the proposed joint
refinancing with Mr. McNellis. If Councii agrees we shauld proceed
with the refinanca.ng transaction., Council 'ahould specify an.y
