CASE #82-13, COLON, Mr. Vern Colon and Mr. .Charles Bartholdi, representatives of
VARIANCE Federal Land Company, were present to request approval of a
variance to allow an application for planned unit development for
a parcel of property consisting of 5.62 acres, rather than 10
acres as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The Council acknowlec
receipt of several letters supporting the variance application,
a petition in favor of the variance signed by a number of City
' residents, along with memos from the City Planner and Public Works
Director. The Council also acknowledged minutes of the July 27th
Planning Commission meeting wherein the Commission recommended
approval of the variance.
Mr. Colon acknowledged that he understands that the variance must
be considered and approved before he may make application to the
Planning Commission for a conditional use permit for a planned
unit development. Mr. Colon pointed out that a petition, which
had been received i�y the Council, was signed by several surround- �
ing property owners and that he has met with Jerry Shaughnessy
and reviewed the concept of a revised townhouse development plan.
He stated that Mr. Shaughnessy advised him that based on the new
proposed plan, he would have no objection to the townhouse concept.
Mr. Bartholdi, legal counse� for Federal Land Company, displayed
drawings of the property and a potential townhouse layout. He
stated that since the matter before the Council relates only to
the varia�ce, he would reserve any comments on a PUD concept unt31
such time as a PUD application is heard. Mr. Bartholdi expressed
the opinion that the Council must only answer two questions on the
issue with reference to the variance: whether a substantial
hardship exists and whether a substantial portion of the property
would be preserved through the PUD process which would not be
preserved through a single family development. With reference
to hardship, Mr. Bartholdi stated that the property consists of
only 5.62 acres and is surrounded by developed property so there is
no property available to expand the site size to the required 10
acre area. He also noted that a second problem, storm water drainage
i
m
C
Page No. 1684

on the site and to adjacent properties to the nort east also
exists. : He stated that in order to resolve the st rm water
drainage problems,Federal Land Company has develop d and proposed
a ponding area to alleviate the problems for both n site water
and water draining onto the property from the adja ent land. He
suggested that single family development of the si e would not
allow development of a ponding area. He pointed o t if the variance
were granted and the PUD were considered, the impo tant aspect
in the PUD would be the retention of natural ameni ies and the
City control of landscape design and the placement of all of the
units. He stated that the new concept for a PUD w uld preserve
site lines and views of all existing homes in the rea, the
structures would be single story units, 14 feet hi h. He noted
that if the variance were not granted and single f ily development
would occur, two story, 20 foot high structures co ld be constructed
and views from the surrounding area would not be p otected.
Two architects representing Federal Land Company, amon Farber and
John Pope, reviewed potential landscaping plans an artists
renditions of the proposed development for the are . Among other
information presented, it was noted that there wou d be a housing
coverage of 16.5� under the concept, 11� of the ar a would be
used for pavement, and the remaining 72.5� of the ea would be
open space. The concept would address a maximum o 16 units,
two units back to back, with a mixture of roof lin s.
Two members of the audience asked questions relati e to potential
assessments to adjoining propertyowners for storm ewer improve-
ments and the possible connection of Miriam and Hi watha. Mr.
Colon stated that he would be willing to commit to all costs
involved in the development of the site, including the Miriam
Hiawatha connection, but could not commit himself o total costs
for storm sewer drainage system improvements�.
�
Councilman Losleben stated that Mr. Bartholdi has ndicated that
there is a hardship based on the inability to acqu re enough land
to meet the PUD area requirement. He asked whethe the applicants
knew there was no available property in the area a the time that
the property was purchased. He indicated that he oes not believe
the lack of available space constitutes a hardship. _

asking for is variance approval so that � PUD can later be
considered. Councilman Losleben stated that the land was first
purchased with the knowledge that no additional space was
available to allow enough size for a PUD under the Ordinance and
could see no hardship on which to base variance approval.
Councilman Hartmann felt that the variance application is really
a request for a change in zoning and did not want to take any
action which might set a precedent for similar future variance
applications. Councilwoman Witt felt that several of the signatures
on the letters and some signatures on the petition were by people
outside the •350 foot radius required under the abstractor's
certificate. She asked that Mr. Colon confine any future petitions
to those people on the abstractors list. Councilman Mertensotto
stated that he would have no problem with approval of 'the variance
as long as the applicant is confident that he can work out all
problems with the neighbors, and on the basis that the Council
reserves its right to deny any PUD application if it is not
acceptable to the neighborhood.
Councilwoman Witt moved approval of the variance from the 10 acre
PUD area requirement, to allow the applicant to process a PUD
application without any committment to approval of a PUD application.
Councilman Mertensotto seconded the motion.
Representatives of Suburban Lighting Company were present to
request approval of a variance to allow installation of a new
Surfco Gas sign on the exiting pylon at the former Skelly Oil
Station at TH 110 and Dodd Road. It was noted that the variance
is necessary because the existing standard is located within six
feet of the right-of-way of TH 110 and Dodd Road, whereas the
Ordinance requires a 30 foot setback. Representatives of Suburban
Lighting, present for the discussion, also advised the Council that
they are requesting approval to install a price sign on the south
side of the station building, as recommended by the Planning
Commission, rather than their original request to place signs on
the standary� which waizld be consistent with other stations in
the City. It was the concensus of the Council that these signs
posted on the stand��d would be preferable to signs placed on the
structure.
C Councilman Mertensotto moved approval of the sign setback varuance,
along with approval of the installation of two 3'x5' gas price
signs on the pole, on the condition that the pole height be a
15 foot maximum and that the price signs be placed nine feet above
ground level.

FEASIBILITY Mr. Rollin Crawford was present to represent the B
STUDY owners of property at the northwest quadrant of I3
Heights Road. Mr. Crawford stated the because of
a portion of Bisanz's property, sewer access to th
reduced. He asked that the Council authorize prep
feasibility study to determine costs of the variou
providing sewer to the property. He suggested tha
urgency to the matter because of the impending con
I35E and because the option of connecting to the w
work is done on I35E may be precluded. �
City Engineer Kishel advised the Council that the

have been submitted to the Council and that she would like to see
the drawings which would indicate the size of the sign, height of
the letters and length of the sign.

PRELIMINARY PLAT �, Carmen Tuminelly was present to review and request approval of
the preliminary plat for the proposed Tumi.neTl.y's Hunter's Lane
Addition, which consists of the replat�ing of Lots 1 and 2, of
the Culligan Knoll Addition. Mr. Tuminelly proposed that the 2.2
acres be divided into two new lots, plus a lot which contains the
existing structure which will be remodeled and renovated. He
noted that each of the lots will be approximately 22,000 square
, feet, and that he proposes to dedicate a 30 foot strip of land on
the north border of Lots 1 and 2 as right-of-way for a future
street. Mr. Tuminelly stated that he would like to keep the 30
foot strip as a private roadway for the present and dedicate it as
right-of-way at some future date.
Councilman Mertensotto pointed out that, in order to be buildable,
a residential lot must front on a public street. Attorney Winthrop
advised the Council that the right-of-way should be required
immediately, not dedicated at ,a later date. Mr. Tuminelly stated
that he wo.uld•have no objection to the immediate dedication.
As part of the discussion on utility services, Mr. Tuminelly indicated
C that he wants to install the sewer and water utilities himself. It
was the recommendation of staff and the concensus of the Council
that public utility installation would not be allowed, it must be
done in the same manner as other public utility construction,
utilizing City Engineer and contracts.
Planning Commission Chairperson Kru�se was present for the discussio^
and pointed out that the Planning Commission recommendation for
approval provided that drainage toward the Barber lot be addressed.
Public Works Director Danielson pointed out that perhaps a land-

Mr. Bernard Friel was present to discuss his letter requesting the
installation of "no hunting" signs. Mr. Friel indi ated that,
particularly during duck hunting season, there are. lways a number
of hunters discharging weapons near the ponds locat d on the School
District property at the south end of the City. He asked that the
Council authorize installation of signs at Dodd Roa and Blue Gentian,
Blue Gentian and Delaware, Pagel Road at Hazel Cour and Huber
Drive at Delaware to remind hunters approaching the area that
hunting is not allowed in Mendota Heights and there y discourage the
activity. Mr. Friel advised that he has contacted he Police
rayu ivv.
September 21, 1982 •
Department when he has observed hunters in the area but that he does
not believe citations have been issued in response to the violations.
Councilman Mertensotto felt that approval of the request c�uld resu�
in the receipt of many other, similar requests, and suggested that
a better approach would be to direct the Police Chief to order
patrolling in the area early in the morning along with the issuance
of citations for any violations.
Councilwoman Witt advised that hunting is allowed in the rural areas
( of Eagan, if certain conditions exist, and agreed that signs to
indicate the no hunting regulation should relieve the problem of
hunters crossing Blue Gentian from Eagan. Mayor Lockwood felt that
perhaps a no-hunting and trapping sign should be placed on or near
the City limits sign at the south end of the City on Dodd Road.
After discussion, and an apparent concensus of the Council to
approve signing, the matter was referred to the Police Chief for a
report on hunting activities in the area along with a history of
past citations issued (or lack of citations) and a recommendation on
whether signs should be installed and if so where minimal signage
should occur.
EAGLE'POINT Mayvr Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing
" on an application from the Eagle Point Development Company for
amendment to the Eagle Point planned unit development.
Mr. Bruce Martin of Lanvesco Corporation advised the Council that thr
applicants are requesting a change in the PUD to reduce the number
of units from 60 to 54 and to construct the buildings in two phases
consisting of 27 units per building. Mr. Martin reviewed an overlay
of the proposed PUD over the originally approved Eagle Point PUD.
He advised that the originally approved building location and setbacks
and exterior design will be maintained but that the unit size would
be increased to a range of 1572 to 2408 square feet. He indicated
that the sales prices will range from $150,000 to $270,000.
Mr. Martin also requested approval of a new final plat which would
create a lot and block for each of the two structures as opposed to
the original plat which consisted of a single lot/block for the
entire parcel. Councilman Mertensotto stated that his only caution
relative to the proposed platting is the potential for change in
parcel ownership before construction of-the second structure.
Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the audience.

including such details as extension of the etal facade around
the entire structure, increased lighting in the mall area,
placement of the benches on the interior, r ther than exterior
walls of the mall area as proposed by Mr. S eehy, and other
details.
City Administrator Johnson suggested to the Council that the
majority of the items contained in Mr. Shee y's list, do not
normally receive prior Council approval or onsideration, and
unless the Council so directs, there is no eason for Mr.
Sheehy not to accomplish painting before an other approvals.

Mayor Lockwood noted that there were members of the audience present
for the discussion and asked for their comments.
Mr. Richard Stryker, owner of the Dakota County State Bank Building,
commented that the shopping center is obviously in need of attention,
pointing out that the masonry is in bad shape, ceiling tiles are
falling down, and it needs painting. He noted that at such time
as T.H. 149 is realigned, the center will be oriented towards South
Plaza Drive and pointed out the lack of landscaping, the weeds, and
the generally unsightly conditions. He pointed out that the tennants
in his several million dollar structure have had to look at a very
unappealing shopping center for the past ten years and felt that
something to enhance its appearance should be done before the off-
sale liquor issue is resolved.
Mr. Sam Shepard, Manager of Minnesota Federal, a tennant of the
center, asked whether the "laundry list" would be accomplished
whether or not a liquor license is issued.
Mr. Sheehy responded that some of the items will probably be accomplishec
because the center is very hard to rent. He stated that painting and
sign renovation would occur whether or not a liquor license is approved.
Mayor Lockwood stated, in response to the liquor issue, that he will
take the position that a public hearing should be conducted before
any decisiori is made on adoption of off-sale liquor provisions.
He suggested to Mr. Sheehy that he should proceed with painting and
other repairs which should be done.
DELAWARE CROSS- Mr. Tom Balyk and Mr. Robert McKinstry, representing Minnesota
ING REPLAT Federal Savings and Loan, were present to request approval of the
final plat for the Delaware Crossing Second Addition. In response
to a reminder from Councilman Mertensotto of the conditions attached
to the preliminary plat approval, Mr. Balyk advised that deeds to
convey title to Outlots B and C to the City have been prepared.
He asked the Council to adopt a resolution to support the Minnesota
FSL request for tax abatement which has been submitted to the County.
Mr. McKinstry stated that his firm will take the responsibility for
paying the taxes in order to resolve the situation but asked that
the City cooperate in the abatement effort. He advised that if the
abatement is denied by the County his firm will pay the taxes and
convey the deeds to the City.
The City Council expressed its intent to support the abatement and
take the position that the payment of taxes is the responsibility of
the grantor should the abatement not be granted. �
With the understanding that Minnesota Federal Savings and Loan has
aqreed to be responsible for the taxes on Outlots B and C and
intends to deed said outlots to the City as required in the original
platting agreement, and with the understanding that the City will
support a resolution to be submitted by the applicant on October Sth
relative to abatement of taxes on said outlots, Councilman Mertensotto

Minutes - September 29, 1982 I
The NDC4 Ownership, RFP and Franchise Committee meeting was called to rder
by Chairman Paul Tatone at 6:30 p.m. The following members were presen :
Tatone, Baird, Boelter, Hanson, Witt. Also present: Adrian Herbst.
Herbst advised the Commi:ttee that in his opinion, as embodied in his me orandum
of September 23, 1982, there are serious constitutional problems involv d in a
flat policy against "rent-a-citizen" investors, pointing out that as of this �
time the Commission has not adopted any policy on local investors, nor, for that
matter, on lobbyists�• either. It might seem that these two items are 1'nked.
Thereupon, on a motion made by Boelter and seconded by Hanson the�follo ing
recommendations were unanimously adopted. The Committee recommends tha the
Commission: ;
Alternatives
A. Reject all proposals of applicants which include a financ'al
structure whereby the percentage of stock held by local i vestors
is greater than the percentage of d�llars actually invest d.
B. Prohibit loans by applicants to local investors forithe
i
of buying applicant's stock. _ �
C. Reject all proposals by applicants which have provided gu
to "local investors" at little or no risk. �
�
D. Reject all proposals of applicants which provide that the
of local owners can be bought out readily or at a guarant
E. Local investors file with the Commission a sworn stitemen
their total financial arrangements with the applicant. (T
form will be worked out in detail by Adrian Herbst.j

The following recommendation about application fees was then moved by Boelter,
seconded by Witt and unanimously adopted:

1. Each applicant shall submit with its proposal a fee of $8,000.00
to cover the estimated costs of analysis of his proposal. Any `
unused portion of this fee will be returned to the applicant;
2. The RFP shall contain a statement that the successful applicant
will be obligated to reimburse the Commission and cities for all
other costs of franchising through an award fee;
3. The RFP will include an estimate of the award fee referenced in (2)
for the applicants to use in desi�ning their financial plans in the
proposals. This estimate will be based on the total fee estimates from
the consultant, staff, attorney, publications, advisory committee
and other city costs; ,
4. The Commission shall direct the consultant, attorney, staff and
each city to submit estimates of their anticipated costs to the

Chairperson Kruse asked for questions from the Co ission members,
noting that he had received considerable input fr m the neighbors
in the last few weeks. He suggested that perhaps Mr. Colon had
not met the needs of the neighbors and that�perha s a meeting
with them might be feasible. {
Chairperson Kruse asked for questions and comment from the
audience. Mr. Jerry Shaughnessy, 527 Miriam, ask d about a
timetable for the feasibility study. Public Work Director
Danielson stated that it may take possibly anothe month or longer.
Mr. Shaughnessy noted that he had trouble heating the lower portior�
Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 1982 Page Two
of his home last winter due to a pileup of earth that blocked
the drainage from his yard. He noted that he heats his home
through the floor and that his heat ducts had become filled with
water, thus not allowing any heat. He wondered when this matter
would be cleared up and his drainage problem rectified.
Chairperson Kruse noted that the audience, in responding, should
state why they are for or against the project, not just that they
are for or against it. He wanted their reasons why they felt as
they did.
Commission member Butler noted that she felt the Planning Commission
was out of order as they had never approved a sketch plan and now
they were being asked to approve a preliminary development plan.
Mary Jean Bilski, 605 Winston Court, noted that she liked single
family neighborhoods, that is why they moved into their present
neighborhood. She does not like apartment-like structures and
very little open space. She stated that if and when the time comes
where she might move into a townhouse, she would go to the town-
house, but that she definitely did not want a townhouse in her
single family neighborhood. She also wondered if "need" is one
of the qualifications to allow a piece of property to be changed.
Mr. Ed Abrahamson, 1007 Downing, expressed concern over the safety
of the neighborhood children regarding the holding pond and also
questioned what happens to the water. Public Works Director
Danielson responded that the holding ponds are normally dry and
they only hold�rain water, draining slowly. He noted that they
are generally about three feet deep, with a very shallow descent,
and that they are usually not fenced. It was pointed out that
a holding pond would be necessary for both a single family develop-
ment or townhouse development.
Mrs. Jean Tuohy, 1007 London Road, stated that the Ordinance
requires 10 acres for a planned unit development and that they
are now trying to squeeze a PUD onto 5.62 acres. She felt that
townhouses would be a threat to existing single family home values.
After further discussion, Blesener moved to close the public hearing
at 9:2� and forward a recommendation to the City Council.
Burke seconded the motion. Voting: all ayes.
Blesener moved to recominend denial of the Planned Unit Development
on the basis that it is incompabible with the existing single
family development. 5tefani seconded the motion. Voting: all ayes.

Mr. Danielson noted that the development of TnTachtl r Road is of
great concern, and that a connection is needed bet een Wentworth

Wachtler in from the north, rather than from the s uth.
;
Commission member Morson commented on what would h ppen if 30
homes were put in and Wachtler was installed�. The homes would
be on a 2200 foot deadend street. He suggested th t Evergreen
Knoll be extended all the way across the property, rather than
in four phases, and also to place the utilities i at one time,
rather than in phases. �
Mr. Leonard Horowitz, 1779 Trail Road, felt it wou d not be fair

of his home, along the golf course property. Mr. Gryc said he
had more room on that side, but he could put a road in on either
side of his home.
After further discussion, Butler moved to recommend approval of
the preliminary plat of EverGreen Knolls, without constructing
Wachtler Road from Wentworth to Bachelor. Morson seconded the
motion. Morson noted that Wachtler would not be open from north

the motion.
Stefani added a friendly amendment, noting that if Wachtler is
eliminated in the new drawings, some provisions must be made for

Mr. Tom Balyk and Mr. Robert McKinstry, representing Mn/FSL
were present, noting that they had given Mr. Baskfield an easement
for the porch location. The Commission members asked Mr. Baskfield
if he was agreeable to the easement and he responded that he had
just received the easement a few minutes earlier and had not had
time to look it over.
Planner Dahlgren recommended that the Planning Commission do nothing
on the variance request until the matter between Mn/FSL and Mr.

FROM: Edward F. Kishel
City Engineer
9U�JECT: Mendota Townhomes (Colon P.U.D.)
Job No. 8220
In early August 1982, the Developer of Mendota Townhomes submitted
an escrow deposit for the preparation of a feasiblity report for the in-
stallation of public utilities to serve the development.
Subsequent to the August 24th meeting of the Planning Commission,
the Developer phoned and verbally authorized this office to proceed with '
the report. After looking into the matter, we find that because a final
plat has not as yet been approved, it is not possible to complete such
a report. Additional information v�ith regard to site grading, building
elevations, roadway profile and others is needed to complete a feasibility
report.
The following comments and thoughts are being submitted to aid the
Commission in making a decision regarding the request for approval of the
proposed Planned Unit Development.
A preliminary study indicates that sanitary sewers, watermains, and
storm sewers can be installed to serve the P.U.D.
Because a grading plan has not as yet been submitted for approval,
it is not possible to prepare a feasibility report for submission to the
Council at this time.
So as to properly serve the Units, we prefer to have the Developer
establish street grades after which public utilities can be designed.
We also request that the Developer show how a surface water holding
pond with a capacity of approximately 0.83 acre feet and minimum 18 inches
of freeboard can be located in the southeast corner of the site. Our
determination of pond capacity includes anticipated runoff from approximately
3.13 acres of drainage area east of the proposed site.
We have discussed the spilling of surface water from the ponding area
into an open ditch along Highway 13 with the hydraulics engineer for P�n/DOT
and are assured that with proper controls, permission will be granted.
The Developer will have to obtain an access opening for the private
roadway entering onto Highway 13.
The City will design and construct the extension of Hiawatha Avenue to
meet t4iriam Street. �
It seems that the name "Mendota Townhomes" is a bit incongruous.

, and
In this case, where the land area involved is substantially,less han the
10 acres required, it is important to utilize the relativeTy sma 1 amount
of open space available in a way so as to satisfy conditions aro nd the
periphery of the site. That is to say depending upon how the un'ts are
distributed, the available open space will have varied impact on contiguous
development and their owners. Thus, the opportunity offered in PUD
planning process is that of working with the contiguous property owners
so as to be able to adjust the open space so as to accommodate c ntiguous
neighborhood concerns. It is obvious that in the new plans some of this
has occurred. You will note in comparison to the old plan�that greater
number of units are now concentrated nearer Trunk Highway 13 rat er than
on the high land to the east. If these changes result in satisf ctory
conditions for contiguous property owners, the PUD plan will hav achieved
one of its most important purposes. Opinions expressed by,conce ned contiguous
owners should reflect the extent to which this condition has bee achieved.
In our opinion, this is the most important consideration. ;
Another concern we have is that as a result of the concentration of the
units near Trunk Highway 13, two of the units are extremely clos to the
entrance to the site. As reported in our previous report,'ithe d stance
between structures appears to be approximately 60 feet, whereas f this
were a single family development, the distance would be 120 feet The 120
feet distance, of course, consists of a 60 foot right-of-way for street
purposes and the required 30 foot setback from such right-of-way equaling
120 feet.
4. It would appear possible to modify the site plan so as to achiev a greater
distance than currently proposed between these structures. The ul-de-sac
proposed to serve as vehicular access to the units will be a"pr vate street".
From a financial standpoint, this is, of course, one of the adva taqes of

the PUD in the sense tha�. the maintenance of this street is not borne by
the City. The cul-cie-sac at the end of such stree� if a.t were a publ.ic
road, however, would provide for a 120 foot divided right-of-way which
is capable of providing space for the movement/turning arouncl of a fire
trucic. The current desa.gn, as we understand i�., proposes a rectilinear
pattern of streets �o serve �.his cul-de-sac purpose. We suggest that we
ascertain the adequacy af this turn-around for emergency vehicular purpases.
The pavement forming the rectilinear cul-de-sac is 16 feet in width and
therefore would appear not to be adequate far parking of vehicies. There
is some questian in our mind as ta the adequacy of provisions for visitor
parking under these conda.tions, There are six houses that front off of
this rectilinear cul-de-sac, and some provision for visitor parki.ng should
be made. brdinarily, in the case of a public right-of-way, of course, where
the street width is approximately 32 feet, such overflow parking can accur
on the public stree� itself. The roadway width for the remainder of the
cul-de-sac is 24 feet and again, the adequacy for visitar parking is of
some cancern. We would suggest that the roadway width be widened so as to
pravic2e far excess visitor parking in a manner similar �a that which would
be pravided under a publi.c street sys�em.
5. We suggest too �hat the opinions of your engineers be considered regarding
the handling of utilities on the site. As you know, there is a storm
drainage prablern wii�h respect to the land to the east, and provisions for
such drainage are cantemplated in the development of this parcel.. It is also
important to determine the conditions under which the extension of Fisrce
Street with Miriam Street will be handled. A section of right-af-way
connecting these two streets is proposecl, but the cost af canstructi4n of
this s�reet shauld be a part of development, which would normally occur if
the Zand were to be developed as a typa.cal single family plat.
6. The architecture of the units themselves appear to be interesting and
aesthetically desirabie. Ou`r basic concerns relate to the dispasition af
the buildings an the site, the handling of the vehicular traffic and
parking, and pravisions for drainage solutions and their costs as relates
ta the contiguaus proper�ies.

Obviously, as the land ara3 involved in a particular PUD gets smalle , the
potential for achieving the major objective in using the PUD conc pt
(preserving natural open space) rapidly diminishes. If a single tructure
containing two units allowable on a 30,000 square foot tract were proposed
as a PUD, there would obviously be no potential for any substanti 1
preservation of any natural amenities. The question then, become one of
what size parcel encompasses enough land to provide for this pot ntial.
The extent to which this objPctive is achieved should be applied o the

parcel in question on an individual case basis. We should thus be asking
ourselves, "Is any substantial portion of the amenity being preserved
through'the use of the PUD on the property in question in this case?"
4. As you know, Mr. Colon has applied for a single family plat providing for
12 single family lots on the property. Such a plat was approved
distributir�g the housing units very similar to that of the proposed PUD,
utilizing a cul-de-sac off Trunk Highway 13, in almost the identical
location of the proposed cul-de-sac access in the PUD design under
consideration. In short, this means that the proposed development is
similar to that of the single family plat in terms of distribution of homes,
with the major differnce being that the housing units are constructed in
pairs (two units per structure), and that the cul-de-sac is a private street
rather than a public street. Looking at it from a standpoint of distribu-
tion of units only, the PUD serves as a method of rezoning the land from
R-1 to R-2 (duplex units).
5. The purpose of providing a variance provision in any Zoning Ordinance is
to allow a means of application for relief from a particular standard in the
Ordinance due to a hardship condition caused by some physical property of
the land. In this case, the hardship would appear to be that there is no
way to expand the acreage from 5.6 acres to the required ten (10) acres,
inasmuch as the property is bounded on all sides, either by existing
single family development or Trunk Highways. That represents a physical
condition appropriate for application for relief, but only if it is perceived
that the intent of the Ordinance is achieved through the provision of open
space achieved by dispersing the density in some manner to achieve that
objective. The PUD as now proposed concentrates a higher number of units
closer to Trunk Highway 13, thereby leaving more open space on the southerly
high ground, and in an areas westerly of the cul-de-sac. The plans
indicate a prbposal to construct a putting green in the latter area. Does
this offer substantial amenity to be considered adequate reason for the
variance?
6. One of the problems perceived in reviewing the plan is that the concentra-
tion of units near Trunk Highway 13 results in structures being within
nine (9) feet on the east side of the cul-de-sac pavement area and within
12 feet on the west side. This condition can be corrected, but represents
at the moment a mis-use of the flexibi.lity provisions inherent in a PUD
process.
7. The distance between the two structures through which the entrance to the
cul-de-sac passes is approximately 46 feet. If this were a single family
development with a 60 foot dedicated street, the distance between the
structures would be 120 feet.

We have suggested to Mr. Colon and his associ.ates that they1work closely
with the contiguous property owners, and adjust to their concerns. As
you know, some of the neighbors in the past have felt that the be efits
of the accrued open space that are possible in a PUD process, were not
handled in a way to mitigate their concern. This speaks to�the p int of
the size of the parcel, inasmuch as if the site did consist�of th requir.ed
ten acre area, the location and scale of the open space accrued b
concentrating the density in certain areas could be more meaningf l.
This is, in fact, why the ten acre minimum was established when t}e PUD
regulations were initially established by the I�lanning Commission and
Council.
The new PUD Plans as submitted indicate a concept of unit design hat
appear rather attractive. This is, of course, not the issue with reference
to the variance to the ten acre minimum site size. With respect o that
question, the factars are very similar to that previously conside ed.
The principal question is thPn, does the five acre parcel as curr ntly
conceived for development, provide adequate oPEn space amenity (e'ther
public or private) that mitigate the impact oi the hi,qher concent ation of
density in various parts of. the site? �

PLANNING CC?NSZpERATIONS:
As you will all recall, the Planna.ng Cozrcnission at its last�regul r meeting
vated �o table the develapment appraval of the PUD so as ta'allow ime for
the applicant to adjust the drawings in accardance with his�propos. d
changes offered at that meeting. The significant change was an offer ta
reduce the number oE units by two (from sixteen to fourteen)�. Thi of�er
was in response ta the Commission's concern abaut the crowding af he
units around the entrance to the project off of Trunk Highway 13. At that
meeting, Mr. Colon also nate8 that he wauld be paying for the exte sion of
Miriam Street at the sau�hweast carner of the project, and of cour e,
� dedicating 60 faot wide right--of-way far this purpose�, j
. i
A revised site plan submitted shows only the footprint for each o£ the
dwelling units and the cul-de-sac with I2 parking spaces at .variou goirtts
alang the cul-de-sac. The plan does not show driveways, topagraph ,
landscaping, and the other elements of the plan xequired as specif cal2y
listed in the PUD Ordinance. i

We have therefore cantacted Mr. Colon and infarmed him of the inad quacy
of the plan for the purpose of Development P1an Appraval for�the P D, iie

and have them ready for the Planning Cammission hearing. j
3. Withou�G the topagraphical detail and landscape plans, it is difficr�
to evaluate the plan as it has now been revised. It appears�that t
reduction of the number af units by two assists materially in redue
crowded conditions near Trunk Highway 13. The turn-around at the �
cul-de-sac has alsa been,revised to now indicate a I.00 faot diamete

4. ,We are also cancerned with the disposition of the open space, particularly
as it relates to contiguous property owners wha have opposed the prajec�
in the past. We have no indication as to whether or not Mr. Colon has
met with and satisfied these concerns. One of �he principal advantages
of the PUD system is the fact that individual units and other elements
of the plan can be adjusted ta meet contiguaus property owners' concerns
with the knowledge on the gart of such awners that the plan can be built
only in accardance with the approved design. These adjustments are best
negotiated by the developer directly with the affected property owners
rather than attempting to do this at a Public Hearing. Mr. Colon ha@
indicated his intent to carry out this procedure in the interest af
gaining the suppart and confidence oE contiguaus land owners.
This suggested procedure does not constitute a deiegation of the decision
af approval for the plan ta the property owner which is, of caurse, the
ultimate respansibility of the Czty Councii. The flexibili�y of dispersinq
the apen space is �he principal feature of the PUD planning process, and
can be handled so as to solve same of the problams relating to contiguous
praperty owners' concerns. This process should be campleted prior to
consideratian of approval of the PUD Development Plan.

Dear Mayor � Council Members:
As resident of Mendota Heights, Ivy Falls specifically, f�have at
and thought countless hours about the decision you will shortly be m king
on the Federal Land Co. proposal for town houses on the "Clemens" Fa m
Property on Hwy. 13. �
, I have walked through Cherokee Park and along Hwy. 13 allithe w y to
' the end of Ivy Fa�lls on Sylvandale Road. The view and the homes ate Seauti-
� ful, they seem to fit into the contour of the land perfectly. �I jus cannot,
in my mind, see this whole concept changed for the good of .nt�.one el�:ept Fed-
� eral Land Co. a �
I think ten or twelve lovely single styled h�mes set in that ar �3 propertx,
arranged to fit the topography of the land, would be a far better an �ver than
fourteen or sixteen look-a-like town homes set in a circle. I�feel I�e taxes
derived from single family homes would bring as much revenue as the roposed
town houses. !
I feel the owners of this land would gain a very handsometprofi from the
sale of individual lots, though probably not as much as a group of t wnhouses
would bring. But they knew this, land was zoned R-I when they purcha ed this
property. j
�.
In closing, I must say the Mendota Heights council has the fine t reput-
ation in the entire metropoiitan area as the fairest, wisest and mos honest
councit. Being unreachable and far above any type of intimidation b one owner
of a land company that has vowed to overrun this council and tFie peo le of this
area for his own personal gain. I feel that in your hearts you will do what you
feel should be done for the r.eal good of the people you vowed to rep esent in
their best interests. I know you will prove to the rest of the coun ils around
the metropolitan areas that no one �person or company can taint�that eputation.
Thank you,
A very concerned citizen

however, I have had enough time to review complete plans and speci ications
for Phase I.
�
This permit wouldn't include the proposed pool, pool building, fence
enclosing the pool area, building sign or the sprinkler permit for the
underground parking area. The contractor and sub-contractor�must e licensed
prior to their starting on the job as required by ordinance and so e concern
has been voiced by staff that if there is a lapse between Phase I nd Phase
2, construction materials, etc. should not be allowed to remain on the site
which would create an eyesore for area reside�ts as well as the ne occu-
pants of Phase I. �
I would recommend approval of the building permit for the E
Condos, subject to contractors licenses and an agreement to keep
orderly between Phase I and Phase II. �

SUBJECT: Hun�ing and Trapping Complaints
«
In respo�.se to the recent conversatian we had concerning the feasibi
of signing Blue Gentian Road prahibi�ing hunting and/or trappirig, I'
done some research into the years of 19$I and I9$2 relating to the r
for police action.
� ty
In 19$1 we received three calls relating �o hunters. All three were received
in October and all three were in the area af concern, south of Friend y Hi2Zs
and B1ue Gentian Raad. On on,1y one ca7.1 were Che subjects located. Th s was
on B].ue Gentian Road west of Dodd Road, and the officer involved in t is
incident elected ta advise the subj ects. On the oth.er two calls the a ficer
respanded to �he area in questian but was unable ta locate any huntin ac�ivity.
,
1
During 1981 only one report af trapp3.ng was handled. This was in Febr ary and
the area af concern in this incident was �he pond near Wqrrior Drive. The
person(s) responsible far setting the trap was unknawn. j
i
In I9$2 we received five calZs relating to gun shots or shots fired. nly one,
which was ain August, was in the area of concern, Blue Gentian Road. T e oificer
did make cantact wa.th the parpetratars but as it turned out they were shoating
iire works. The other faur calls were not in the area in question, an again
a few turned ont ta be fire warks. ;
d� j
We delt with only ane report needing palice action relating ta trappi g, This
occured in. April and was Iocated behind Country Club Market in the fi 1d east
of �there. Agaii� we did not have any information as to who the person( )
respansi.bZe for setting the trap was. ,
For yaur a.nformation and the City Council's, may I shed a Iittle Iigh
�he years prior to 1981 concerning our prablems with hunters. Prior C
time we had more of a problem because of the undeveloged land south o
Friendly Ha.11s to the Eagan border. Up until recentJ.y Eagan allowed h

The problems have diminished over the years. I myself along with other officers
have arrested hunters and some I have not arrested, but advised. It all depends
on the circumstances involved and the professional discretion given to that
officer to uphold the law.
In my opinion I think signing the areas involved would have a positive effect
on future problems with hunters.

By Gary Dawson
Staff Writer
Minresuta League of Cities of-
ficials emerged victorious
Thursday in a flap over a state
budget plan that would have giv-
en cities b120 million tess in
state aid over the ne%t four
years than they had anticipated.
Gov. A1 Quie, siding with city
officials, said state law appar-
entl�r calls for �30 million more
in state aid next year than the
level included in a budget plan in
July by Finance Commissioner
Ailan L. Rudell. .
The dispute arose when two
state agenci�s dilfered oa the
planned local government aid
appropTiation fur 1983. State law
calls for an appropriation next
year of up to E270 million, a b30
million or 11.3 percent increase
over current funding.
'The state Revenue Depart-
ment, as required by law, noti-
f:ed cities that when they set
their tax le�ies this fall they
should plan on receiving the 32i0
million. But Rudell, in his budget
guidetines, called for freezing
the appropriation at tha current
level, $240 million.
Rudell's budget plans v�ere
enough to cause panic among the
cities, already suffering from aid
cutbacks imposed as a result of
past state budget deficits.
League director pon Slater
and legislative counsel Peggy
Flicker drafted a memo protest-
ing Rudell's action. They urged
mayors to protest Rudell's pra
posal to political candidates, leg-
islators and Quie.
Rudell raised the matter in a
budget meeting with Quie late
Thursday and the governor
quickly re.solved the flap, saying
the cities should plan on receiv-
ing =270 miilion next year.
"It was a matte: of interpreta-
tion," Rudell said. "The gove; nor
wants to go v�ith the E270 mil-
lion. We had some unhappy peo-
ple out there. I can see their con-
cern."
The change in buCget plans is
not a simple matter, howerer.
Rudell had planned on freezing
aids at the $240 mitlion level for
four years as part of a master
budget plan to get the state out
of its financial difficulties and
restore a healthy operating bal-
ance to the ireasury.
Now he has been directed to
plan at a E270 million level, that,
over a four-year period, adds
E120 million in costs to the state
budget.
Rudell preciously sai� that the
state could face an 5316 million
budget deficit by 1987 assuming
reasonable spending increases
�, and a July 1, 1983, espiration of
the current 7 percent income taa
surcharge and 1 percent sales
tax increase as called for in
state law. He now will have to
add E120 million to that potential
deficit.
Rudell also issued a series of
recommendations cailing for re-
strained spending and continua-
tion of the two "temporary" tax-
es, which he said could result in
an operating surplus of �657 mil-
lion bp 1887. That would now de-
crease to a537 m.illion. The sur-
plus would be used to finance
priority programs.

I would also request the Council appropriate $225.00 to allow us t
purchase hotdogs and pop for this event.
In closing, I want to thank the Mayor and Council for their consid ra-

MEMO

�
Several additional pieces of information should be considered, or at least
kept in perspective, while considering the Levy Resolution. As you re all, the
1983 Budget Summary and Levy Resolution were distributed on September lst for
your action on October 5th. Please review my Memo dated September 21s for the
various facts and figures associated with the proposed 1983 Budqet and Tax Levy.
The attached sheet attempts to place the City Levy in pers�ective with the
total tax levy as anticipated. Larry prepared this to give you�a pict e of what
the taxes will probably be on a typical residence. He based the� antic'pated taxes
on a residence with an Estimated Market Value of $86,000 in 1981�, whic went to
94,000 in 1982. Note, then, the Estimated Tax on this residence, and specially�
the figures in the Increase column. �(Larry or I will explain how the everal
Mill Rates were arrived at). Any reasonable or ordinary changes� in th City's
$9.60 increase will have negligible impact on the estimated increase o$234.
This ratio and relative importance of local services should be given s rious
consideration. �
Note the gradual reduction of the City's share of the tax dollar
over 1� per year. (
�
The bottom half of the sheet shows how the Assessed Valuation is
Note that a 9.5� increase in Estimated Market Value results in an 11.1

The Aging Program of the Metropolitan Council, as the federally funded
agency on aging" for the Metropolitan Area, completed a study of the s
services for older people in Dakota County in 1981. This study was co
in conjunction with several organizations within the county and involv
large number of community meetings.

The plan that resulted from the study contains many recorr�nendations for how

One section of the plan describes the need for a network of "community
sites" or senior centers throughout the county where services are�provi
older persons. The plan recommends that such a site be identified in e
of the county to be responsible for providing "access" services and pro
or arranging for a variety of "community level" services such as
social/recreational opportunities, health education, congregate dining,
educational opportunities. ---�- ----'--•�� -

- If you are one of the agencies whose site is listed, we would appreciate a
formal response from your board indicating your willingness to accept the
designation as a community level site and your commitment to continuing to
sponsor the site and serve older people.
- If your agency provides services to older people but does not sponsor a
potential site, we would like to know whether or not the sites to be
designated to serve your area are appropriate. Feel free to either write a
letter or contact our staff with your comments.
We would appreciate receiving your response within the next month - by
October 20, 1982, if possible.
Our staff is available to answer any questions you may have on this subject,
and would be happy to come to a meeting of your board or advisory corr�mittee to
discuss it in more detail. ..
Enclosed for your information is a list of the potentially designated sites in
Dakota County as well as more information on the responsibilities of designated
sites.
Issue of Volunteer Opportunities for Older People
Although the Dakota County Plan (enclosed) describes a large role for older
volunteers, no specific recommendations are made for the organizat'ion,
provision, and funding of such programs. The plan does mention that volunteers
should be involved in providing "access" services at community level sites
and neighborhood sites such as churches and senior clubs.
Because increasing attention is now being focussed on the need for volunteers,
we feel ttiat recorr�nendations on volunteer ,opportunities should be added to the
plan. � . ,
To help our staff further study the issues involved in the effective provision
of volunteer_opportunities for older people in Dakota County, please complete
the enclosed questionnaire and�return by October 20.
Thank you ahead of time for your assistance. ��As work on these topics continue,
you will be kept informed. Please contact LaRhae Knatterud (291-6497) of our
staff for more information on either the site designation or the issue of
volunteer opportunities. - ,

RESPONSIBILITIES OF
DESIG�ATED COMMUNITY LEVEL SITES
What is a"community level site?"
The concept of a"community level site" is based upon the need id
by older people and service providers for local centers that can
information about services needed by older people in their commun
also develop or arrange for services to be provided within that 1
community. The term "community level site" is used by the Metrop
Council's Advisory Committee on Aging to describe the community a
centers throughout the Metro Area identified as appropriate to pr
these services. The Committee is required by federal regulations
designate such sites for service delivery to the elderly througho
Metro Area. �
2. What are the s�
cific responsibilities of "cortununity level sites"?
Community level sites
to the older
providing or
including:
people in
�arran gi n g
are responsible for providing outreach serv
their community. They are also responsibl�
for a broad range of "corranunity level" ser�
,
- health education and screening �
- congregate dining
- supportive/peer counseling !
- social/recreation al/educational opportunities
- assistance with tax and other forms
- activities which encourage integration of disabled elderly in
ongoing programs at the site '
- transportation (to and from the site). f
It is recognized that some sites have all these services availabl
while others are in the process of developing these services�. It
important to note that cort�nunity leve] sites do not have to provi
these services directly. On the contrary, emphasis is placed on
for {rather than providing) services whenever possible and approp
Each site is to be an advocate for adequate provision of service
area and is responsible for seeing that services needed by its ar
residents are available. . I
In addition, the designation of a corr�nunity level site does �not me
all "community level services" must or should be available a�t that
site. However, "colocation" of services at the community level si
encouraged when possible since it does provide a single focal poin

What daes it mean to a spansaring aqency if its site is designated?
Once a site is designa�ed, it is seen by the Advisory Cammittee on Aging as
part of a network of community leve} s�tes in each county throughout the
M�tro Area. Along with those Bg��C1@S that pravide centralized "access"
services, it is considered an important part of the access system for
older people. Designated community level sites are listed in the
fi�etropolitan Cauncil`s Area Plan for Programs on Aging submitted t� the
Minnesata Board on Aging each year. The Aging Program also schedules
periodic information al ar training meetings with these sites.
It is nat the intent of the Advfsory Committee on Aging to pravide Tiile
III funds to each designated community levei site, since many
designated sites in the Metro Area have strong pragrams funded through
a variety of other funding sources. However, the Advisory
Car�nittee on Aging's funding policies state that, in those counties where a
service delivery plan has been completed and sites have been designated,
funds far outreach services and multipurpose senior center facilities and
administration wili aniy be available ta designated community level sites.*
Therefare, since there are no legal or financiai contracts between the
designated sites and the Agin g Program (except in cases where a site is
receiving Title III funds), this designation can be accepted ar rejected
by any individual site. Nawev.er, it is hoped that potential sites in
Dakota.County will see value in this designation and will want to
participate in a county-wide network.
4. What would be the relationship between desi nated sites and other
agencies or programs �n t e county.
This description of community level sites is not meant ta impiy that aii
services far older people must be delivered at these sites, or to minimize
the role of county-wide agencies that provide services to meet specific
needs. Rather, the community 1eve1 sites provide a��more coherent and
understanda6le network for the delivery of certain�services for older
peapie at the iocai level. �
Since many of the "comunity ieve7" services (listed earlier} are in fact
prav�ded by county-wide agencies, good working relatianships between
]ocal sites and these agencies are essen�ial and can lead to the provision
by caunty-wide agencies af tl�eir services at community level sites. It is
hoped that joint planning and development of needed services by local
sites and county-wide agencies will result from these linkages.
* Qther agencies may be funded to provide outreach services if they can
document a large unme� need and a close worEcing relaiionship with iocai
community level sites.
-3-
5. Wh are there no communit level sites desi nated in the rural o tions
of Dakota County? �,
Based upon the service delivery study completed in Dakota County,
it was felt that "neighborhood level" sites such as churches and enior
clubs were a more acceptable and appropriate way of providing acc ss
services to older people in the rural sections of the county. Th refore,
because no stated need for this type of site was identified�in th se areas,
no community level sites have been suggested. �

Elmer Morris, MSA �
City: Larry Shaughnessy, Jim Danielso , Ed

Mn/DOT personnel presented a proposed layout of new�TH 1 9 on the
presently unused corridor. They used an overlay to pro�ect a first
stage construction from South Plaza Drive to about CheriiLane as well
as the original drawing showing four lane divided roadways fr m TH
110 to I 494 as well as the associated frontage roads. �
Bob Rosas indicated that the estimated construction'cost
the first phase which includes construction from Hauensteins
the intersection to south of Wagon Wheel Trail, would be�appr
$2,000,000. He also indicated that $1.5 million worth of no
may be required through the Friendly Hills area. Bob proceed

be the same as the City Council and the local residents.' At
it was noted that we have approximately $1,000,000 of MSA mon
could be used for TH 149 construction. Larry Shaughnessy and
Morris agreed that approximately $600,000 of receipts would b
able after the 1984 allocations and that approximately�$400
of bonding could be accomplished thereby providing approximat
$1,000,000 for "off-system" improvements. Elmer Morrisidid
serious concern as to the eligibility of "temporary" construc
between South Plaza Drive and Wagon Wheel Trail. j
Another surprise was the explanation of the TH 110 profi
was noted that a grade separation interchange fits very riicel
the proposed location. Bob Rosas indicated the serious grade
when TH 149 intersects with TH 110. He called attention to t
problem of no "landing" east of TH 149 for westbound traffic.
acknowledged by all of us that a new at-grade intersection in
proposed area would actually pose a worse intersection than p
exists at TH 149. This matter was discussed to some length,
that the alignment of TH 149 could not be moved very much wes

ability of improving the existing TH 149 roadway. It was noted that
additional right-of-way could be acquired on the westerly side re-
latively easily, however, other major intersection improvements would
need to be made such as signalling and channelization. If this was
done, what could be done with the existing unused TH 149 right-of-way?
State officials still seemed reluctant to abandon the right-of-way --
maybe nothing should be done with it for a few years.
In summary, the ball is back in Mendota Heights' court. What do
we want to do with the major intersection? Mn/DOT officials noted that
the present 10,000 ADT traffic on TH 149 will remain about the same in
the future. (They indicated that the north/south traffic may vary from
8,500 to 13,000 after I-494 is opened up). In other words, the traffic
volumes are such that a three lane, four lane, or four lane divided
could be constructed for TH 149. It was agreed that the Council now
will have to consider the cost feasibility, the intersection feasib-
ility and development desireabilities, then advise Mn/DOT of our
intentions.
NOTE
Mn/DOT left the various drawings for future City use. I suggest
that we have a work meeting with Howard Dahlgren and City Council
members to thoroughly discuss this proposed land development scheme
and once and for all make a decision as to proceed or shelve it!

SUBJECT: Maple Park Court - Storm Sewers & Streets
Job No. 7911 Improvement 79-12
In the course of preparing for the public hearing regarding st
and streets in Maple Park Court to be held on October 19th, a few s
minor incidents occurred which should be brought to the attention o
Council. �
On or about September 15th, we were visited by a resident of P��
Park Court, one Richard C. Herzog, owner of Lot 4, Block 6, Ivy Fal�
Mr. Herzog had received the hearing notice and wanted all available
mation regarding the hearing. When informed that this was the purpc
the hearing, he insisted on knowing beforehand.

plained that this possibly could be done but it would have to'be di�
at the hearing. i
We discussed assessment methods as well as potential prel�iminar
ment figures. We even discussed potential uniform assessments over
parcels. Mr. Herzog finally left seemingly satisfied. ' �_
�
The next day he phoned me with some suggestions relative to thE
of eliminating some of the proposed pipe lines and curb work.' We ac
plained existing and past policy relative to street and storm sewer
tion and again he seemed satisfied with our explanation. I

A few days later Mr. Herzog came in and talked to Jim while I w s out
of the office. Upon my return I entered the discussion during� which time,
Mr. Herzog was permitted to look through our files and reports,relat've
to the project. He was even given a copy of Mr. Abrahamson's letter of
request for relief. Again he seemed satisfied. �
;
On Tuesday, September 21st, I received a phone call from a mutu 1 friend �
who had received a memorandum that day regarding the project. ;We ar attaching
a copy of that memo for your use and information. There is no',indic tion as
to who prepared the memo but inference is that Mr. Herzog is involve .
On one or two occasions, Mr. Herzog mentioned that he hasl,discu sed storm
sewer and street construction in ivy Falls Addition with Mr. Leon Go drich,
�
President of the Home Owner's Association, and from these discussions obtained
the history of the previous meetings and hearings.
Confidential information regarding the September 23rd meeting at Mr.
Herzog's house indicates that about 15 or 18 persons attended, that exagger-
ated assessment costs were mentioned and that concern was felt for expanded
improvements if Maple Park Court was upgraded.
P�Ir. Abrahamson was not at the meeting but there was some mention of his
legal rights concerning public surface water being spilled onto his property.
From information obtained at the September 23rd meeting, it appears that two
of the affected property owners are for the project, two are against it, and
one was neutral at the time but is expected to be against the project at the
time of the hearing.
Because of the nature of the hearing, that is, "assessment" as well as
"feasibility", Staff is attempting to cover all phases hy.retaining the ser-
vices of a professional appraiser to determine potential benefits from the
proposed improvements. It is felt that because of the size of the project
and the limited number of properties involved, this is an ideal situation
in which to determine the relative merits of such professional assistance.
This is the first time such procedure has been followed but it may well be
a tool to be used in the preparation of future assessment hearings.
As of this writing, the appraiser has not received cooperation from the
property owners, especially those appearing to be against the project, by
not permitting him to enter their homes for inspection. This apparently is
part of his method of evaluation.
On Thursday, September 30th, Mr. Herzog phoned Orvil requesting infor-
mation regarding the need for appraisals and the need to inspect the dwelling
interiors. Staff's reasoning was explained and his respone was that permis-
sion would not be granted.
Late this afternoon, the City Administrator received conies of appraisal
results from Bob Hutchinson, the Appraiser. S�e City Administrator separate
memorandum.

SUBJECT: Maple Park Court Assessment Hearing
Additional Assessment Practices
As has been discussed many times in the past, assessment:
be based on "benefit". We have bri.efly discussed the value oi
an appraisal prepared in order to support assessment figures.
have now engaged such services and have additional informatic
your consideration. (
I took the liberty of engaging Robert S. Hutchinson of W
Paul to perform appraisals on the five properties involved in
Park Court hearing. He was advised by Ed as to the proposed p
improvements. Then he was asked to perform a before and�afte
appraisal on the properties in order to arrive at a"benefit"
he determined it. The result of his appraisals is as follows

Total "Benef it�" :
You will note that his total benefit amounts to some $29,515
to Ed's estimated assessment of $46,500. From these fig'ures,
that the proposed construction exceeds the estimated benefits
$17,000. As we have been advised over a period of years�, if
ment exceeds the "benefits" then the City is sub�ect to beinq

actions could take ane of the follawing:

2. Proceed with the project, order construction as proposed,
and take a chance on bei�g challenged (before awarding a
construction contract) then act in ane af the fallowing ways:
a. Abandon the project;
b. Reduce the costs ta match appraised "benefit�" and
proceed with the project;
c. Reduce the amount of assessments to the appraised
benefits, and absorb �he $17,000 as Generai �blig-

3. Reduce the design and cost o£ the project to match the esti-
mated benefits and try to get acceptance by all five awners.
4. Proceed as in #2, order in the praject, and acknawledge that
the City will absarb additional costs (approximately $17,Op0)
in order to maintain consistent street and starm sewer con-
struc�ion standards.
It does appear that the bene�its accruing ta this small neighbor-
hood of five residences is less than the proposed cost. If we place
some amou�t af credence in the appraisals, then it is obvious that
some modifying set of .circumstances has to be applied. This mod-
ification or total abandonment is a policy ma�ter that must be address-
ed -- preferably before the upcoming assessment hearing on October 19th.

At the September 21, 1982 Council meeting a question was rais d about
some apparent construction in the front yard of this home. (The o iginal
building permit for the structure was issued in 1978). I
�
A site visit was conducted by the building inspector and mysel on
September 23. The only ongoing work that seems to be evident is la dscaping.
It was noted however that the existing driveway did not have�a culv rt
under it for drainage. Wagon Wheel Trail is a County road and the omeowner
should have applied for a dri�veway permit from them. Assumi"ng the esident
complied with that �requirement�the County should have provided a cu vert if
one was needed.
�
The fact was reported to the County and they are going to inve tigate
the matter.

nition of a"mobile home and does not relate to structures most of L
otherwise perceive to be manufactured home, such as the structure cc
in sections in the Eide Addition. The recent legislation also dicta
"manufactured housing" may only be regulated by the State Building C
that such structures may not be restricted from an entire City.
As was acknowledged in April, the City must now provide the fra
to allow manufactured housing in the City. At that time, the �Counci
ected staff to research the matter and prepare draft Ordinance amend
to make provisions for a manufactured housing district. i,
We have attached for your information, a memo and draft Zonit�g
nance amendments prepared by Howard Dahlgren. The proposed ordinanc
uage was prepared after staff ineetings with Howard and John Schardlo
a good deal of research by both planners. Given the length of time
the legislative action and the August lst effective date of the Stat
preparation was set aside to allow the completion of more pressing m
and was not deligently pursued until September 17th. Copies of the
were distributed to the Planning Commission at its last regular meet
The amendments are to be discussed at the October Commission meeting
a public hearing will be conducted at their November meeting. ':
;
Both this memo and the attachments are submitted to you as a st
report. I believe that Howard has done a very good job of addressin
the statutory requirements and the City's sensitivities and welcome
comments you might have so that adjustments in the draft can be pres
to the Commission in October. '

Revisions to Zoning Ordinance Relating to Manufactured
l
The 198� session of the Minnesota State Legislature enacted'new 1 gislation
eliminating the term "mobile home" and substituting a description for
"manufactured homes". This legislation further prescribes that m nufac-
tured homes shall be permitted in single family zones, and must b allowed
within the community. ',
A publication by the League of Minnesota Cities entitled "Manufac
Homes - Notes and Ordinances", dated July 1982, suggests actions
cities may take with respect to the new law. Information from th
consultation with municipal attorneys, and research on the law it
suggest that two principal actions should be taken. One is the p
of the Manufactured Home Zoning District added to the Zoning Ordi
purposes of making it possible to develop a manufactured home par
the community. The other is amendments to the single family zone
standards for single family housing which may preclude the placem
manufactured homes too small, or of such design and layout so as
them incompatible with existing single family homes within the co
1 I
Attached is a suggested preliminary draft of the new�Zoning'Distr
"Manufactured Homes Park" to be added as Section 10A. We have al
a preliminary draft of amendments to, Section 4 of the Zoning Ord
(Ordinance 401) under the General Provisions section of the�Ordin
prescribing certain minimums for single family homes in both sing
districts.(R-1 and R-lA). �
Also attached for your suggested deletion in the Definitions sect
Ordinance (Section 3) are the definitions for Mobile Homes and Mo

MEMORANDUM
RE: Revisions to Zoning Ordinance re: Manufactured Homes Page 2
Researching other communities, we have found that Brooklyn Park has
approved what we believe to be the first plat for manufactured homes in
the Metropolitan Area. This plat and PUD is on an eight acre site with a
density of 4.5 units per acre, and a lot width of 57 feet. The housing
units are 900 to 1,300 square feet in area, and have 30 foot public streets
in a 60 foot right-of-way. Copies of this proposal and illustrations of
of the proposed manufactured homes will be available at the Planning
Commission meeting for information purposes.
