Mr. Van noted that there was a two car length stopping spot at the top of the drive�ay and that the reason the driveway was placed at that spot was to avoid the heavy traffic on Hunter Lane as it came over the rise. Mr. Van also noted that he would probably put a culvert in place, even if the driveway is blacktopped. He originally noted that he would def initely place a culvert in place if the driveway were gravel material, but has since been informed that gravel driveways are no longer permitted in Mendota Heights. Chairperson Kruse suggested that a culvert be put in if the driveway is blacktopped to prevent the blacktop from breaking up. There was much discussion about the 80 foot long retaining wall that Mr. Van had constructed which ranges in size from 3 feet to 6 feet in height, tapering down to one foot at the end. Chairperson Kruse asked for questions and comments from the audience. Mr. John Mathisrud, 1860 Hunter Lane, was present for the discussion and expressed concern over the retaining wall, noting that he had been satisfied with past Van projects. After noting the incorrect contours on the drawing, several members noted that they would like to see the plan changed prior to City Council approval. After further discussion, Morson moved, seconded by Butler, to recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to preparation of a drawing in similar scale, correctly depicting the fill on the westerly portion of the lot. Chairperson Kruse offered a friendly amendment adding that l. 2. The retaining wall should be adequately and properly designed. That the culvert be provided in the driveway at the correct grade. Voting on the motion and amendment: All ayes. Chairperson Kruse called the meeting to order for the purpose of a public hearing on an application for the Congregation Sons of Jacob for a conditional use permit and variance to allow construction of a synagogue on the northeast corner of Hunter Lane and TH 110 Service Road. Mr. Roger Johnson from Johnson- Forberg Associates, was present to give a background of the project, which was approved by the,City Council in 1977. He noted that the sanctuary will seat 300 people and that several large, mature trees will be retained along the north property line. The building will contain 8,500 square feet and there is room for future expansion of the wood frame structure. The height will be less than 25 feet. He noted that there would be one parking stall for every 3� seats, and that a fence would be added along the northwest corner, as well as new trees. Planning Commission Minutes, March 22, 1983 Mr. Johnson stated that a variance to the par is requested. The stalls are proposed to be rather than the required 10 feet. P�ge Five stall width feet wide, Commission members asked whether there are any mergency entrances/exits from the parking lot. Mr. John on responded that no exits to Hunter Lane are allowed, only o TH 110. He noted that sodium vapor lighting will be use in the parking lot and that no definite design for the top of he synagogue has been made. The structure will be flat roof d. Chairperson Kruse asked for questions and comme ts from the audience. Several persons were in attendance a d noted that hooded lights were approved in 1977 and that is what they would like to see now also. It was also noted that c nifer trees were agreed upon in 1977, not deciduous trees. It w s also mentioned that a minimum tree size should be known and ag eed to by all parties concerned. Mr. Johnson explained that hey intend to start building this spring and would like to be finished by September, 1983. The audience also expressed s me concerns over the drainage path that would follow after he parking lot is paved. Chairperson Kruse noted that he would like to s e a more detailed plan regarding landscaping and screening as a v sual barrier between the synagogue parking lot and adjacent homes. Mr. Frederick W. Fischer, 1163 Veronica Lane, s ated that he would like a detailed landscape plan showing the type of trees and shrubs furnished, so the residents could be awa e of what would be happening. . After further discussion, Stefani moved, second�d by Burke, to continue the public hearing to April 26. Votin : all ayes. PRE-APPLICATION Mr. Robert Shields was present to get input fro the commission MEETING, SHIELDS members as to whether or not they thought it wo ld be possible to build a single family home on the northeast orner of Dodd and Marie. He had plans for an earth-sheltered home, but after much discussion, felt that perhaps a convention 1 type home would be better suited to the lot. The members noted as well as Planner Dahlgren, that the lot would be extreme y difficult to work with. It was pointed out that the topo ma was very possibly incorrect, and the first step for Mr. Shields t do would be to obtain a correct drawing showing the lot lines nd topography. VERBAL REVIEW ADJOURN Public Works Director Danielson gave a verbal r view of the Dalglish, Henrich and Kegler cases that had bee approved by the City Council. There being no further business to come Stefani moved, seconded by Burke, that Voting: all ayes. before he Commission, the meet'n� be ad_journed. TIME OF ADJOURNMENT: 11:01 o'clock P.M.

The total amount being returned to cities is 20% of the earned premium for 1982 -- over $700,000. Combined with the initial discount each city received, LrICIT has saved its 285 participants nearly $1.�► milli_on for 1982. As was done in previous years, the dividend payment for individual cities was calculated according to a formula which takes into account both the size of the city's premium and the loss experience of the individual city. Specifically; one-third of the dividend is allocated among participants proportionate to the city's premium, and two-thirds is allocated based on the loss e�perience of the individual city. Based on this formula, individual cities' dividends ranged fro� a minimum of 6.67% of premium in a city whose losses and exper.ses e�ceed their pr6'??!�U.II1s to abo>>t 24% of premium if a city had no losses at all. The dividend was calculated based on experience from January 1 through December 31, 1982, Citie.s who entered the prograni during the year received a.pro rata dividend based on the number of. months they participated during 1981. Since each participant received an initial discount of 18%, the dividend means that each participarit saved at a minimum nearly ane-fourth of their workers' compensation costs. I'or cities whose loss experience was good, the total savings are much higher. This marks the third consecutive year in which the LMCIT �rorkers compensation program has returned a substantial dividend to its members, in addition to a sub- st��ntial initial discount. We feel that the success of Cliis program demonsCrates what can be accomplished when c�.ties cooperate to address their insurance needs and we look for�oard to continued success in the coming years.

Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Opticom April l, 1983 The Claims List included within your agenda packet includes p yment of a$4,240 billing from Mn/DOT for the installation of Opticom at the intersection of T.H. 55 and Mendota Heights Road. While the optic m has always been addressed as an "Equipment Certificate" expenditure, w have taken a different approach in expensing the system at this particu ar lo� cation. Since the signal is located within the industrial area and si ce the _ Industrial Revenue Fund has a very substantial fund balance, we fe t the billing could very properly be expensed against the fund. Little f the money we have received from Industrial Revenue Fees has been expen ed. The opticom device will benefit the industrial area and it seems t us that it would be appropriate to support the cost via industrial re enue fees sulxnitted by industrial firms in the district. ! We recommend that you support this funding approach and aut the expenditure via the Industrial Revenue Fund. =ize � t1��NNE�Tq � ZO � a f- � ��rOF TRPa�� Minnesota Department of Transportation Transportation Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 Office of Commissioner March 14, 1983 Orvil J.

Ka.thleen M. Swanson City Clerk � � < . CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO T0: Planning Commission FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director and Paul R. Berg Code Enforcement Officer a March 17, 1983 SUBJECT: Case No. 83-08, Scott Van - Fill - Conditional Use Permi� Scott Van the owner of Lot 3, Block 4, Sunview Hills was noticed t be placing fill on his lot last summer. Scott was notified of the Cit 's requirement of a Conditional Use Permit when in excess of 400 cubi yards of fill is placed. Scott met with staff to discuss what pro ess was necessary and it was determined at that meeting that Scott had not exceeded the 400 cubic yard limit. Scott promised to cease fillin un- til he had a house plan completed. Subsequently to that time a la ger quantity of fill was placed. Scott contends his mother unaware of his agreement with the City allowed the Contractor from the Eagle Poin nroject to place additional fill on the lot. � Scott is now making an application "after the fact" for this�filli g. The filling was done to provide for a gentler driveway slope down o a drainage way in the center of his lot and then back up to his prop sed home. Scott has coordinated this fill with the Kegler lot to the outh to provide a smooth transition between those lots. Scott says he ill put a culvert under his drive if he has a gravel one or allow drai age to. go over his drive if he blacktops. Gravel driveways are no lon er permitted in Mendota Heights. Scott has constructed a retaining w 11 along his north property line that saves some existing trees. Alt ough a permit is not needed for retaining walls, Scott's looks of quest onable design. We find no problem with this proposal and subject to concurrance o neighbors, recommend approval. � the 0 PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: 22 February 1983 83-0£3 Scott Van East of Hunter Lane, North of Conditional Use Pexmit to Deno 1a11 ard �it Fill PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: l. Scott Van proposes to construct his house to the rear of hi.s lot (just north of Mr. Kegler's property). In this case the terrain of th Iot is such that the rear of the lot is approximately in line with t e Mathisrud existing home to the north and appears appropriate. 2. Mr. Van is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to deposit fill on the property in accordance with the plans which he has prepared. � We do not at this point in time have copies of this plan, though we are aw re that they are being prepared. _ 3. We discussed this proposal with the Public Works Director,,,and i appears that the proposal represents a reasonable way to handle this rat er difficult lot. 4.

D4r. Van proposes to construct his new house to the rear of his ot shown on the attached plan. You will note this property is directly orth of Mr. Kegler's property who has applied for and received permissi n to locate his house near the front of the propex'ty, setback 30 fee from Hunter Lane. 2. A copy of the site grading plan indicating the development of r. Kegler's property and Mr. Van's property has been submitted. Mr. Van is seeking a permit to deposit fill as'indicated by the revised contour li es on his property, You will note this fill extends easterly from Hunter Lane on the front portion of the land conforming to the contours indicated n Mr, Kegler's property to the south. 3. The subject then is the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit or the deposit of the fill, some of which has already been placed on t e land. As you know, the Zoning Ordinance prescribes the need for the i suance of a Conditional Use Permit if the fill to be deposited exceeds 40 cubic yards. The plans do nat indicate the total cubic yards to be d posited, and the Commission may wisli to ascertain this number with the a plicant. It would appear that if the�fill is deposited in accordance wit the plan submitted that no deleterious ir�pact on the property or drainag conditions should occur. � HD .�t_.nL,.t� G1-h •.�v. � ,,.�, MAC AN ' �j-�c2Mi __ � � �ca T,-��'/..r�cQ /i�r? -..�2rr`✓ MY. .'�.& 1 C30-0� U20-GI ,.� . r �, osi_ai o52•p1 ,� � �-.-,� >ar;�e� ,tr��•� �`Gr � L�.�i�.6E"�9 040-01 . : Z.GC74 -A3 wr:- rv�"i.SoyrJ ,30 26a'7�-� Zco�3-o -� zb 4 A-► I i+ 8 ��y _ i na73-A � �" ORCHA�.t�c► RoAt� ------ - ;r;'�3"'ri �tI ' , � � � 4 O !n "' �' %�C ~ tn � ' N 'y� + -� h 4y �^ � ; 02C�-Q8 ' +to Q- "' fl{C-OE � . � �'- �-"' � b�m rrr i�' L• �/ �30-02 ,� „S wc�/7so.-7 Z.,o ,s�s 3 s ss Q . .4G. 4 �d ,,qc., ZL� G8 Z"O x b e3z- aa oao-as ' a a �_ e 2 vrs � 2Go8o-� 24o8o-F. .� lsZz: l'Yl•za , , �3 a Q,f Oa o !71 �5 � : � � �' ' "' 2 6 4 atJ.

Frenz South of Rolling Green Curi/.e� Ponding Area on the South Approval of Wetlands Permit 1. The location of the property is indicated on the attached sketch north of the ponding area shown on the drawing. The base map doe the plat which was recently approved, but this relationship can Y� maps available at the City Hall at the time of the hearing. 2. Recently a Wetlands Permit was approved for the contiguous prope house located similar to that which is proposed in this applicat Wetlands Ordinance establishes a setback of 100 feet, from the p area in question. You will note from the site plan submitted th proposed structure will be 53 feet, two inches to the face of th the south side of the building. When this plat:was originally a it was recognized that each individual homeowner would be requir an application for Wetlands Permit as development occurred. It at that time that each of these homes contiguous to the pond on side and on the west side would likely not be able to meet the 1 requirement. . � tiguous to immediately s not show �e shown on ty with a on. Tlie nding t the deck on .,„�.., to submit recognized north foot 3. The home as proposed is setback the required 30 feet from the pu lic right- of-way. The Site Plan submitted�, however, indicates a 30 foot wide curb cut on Rolling Green whicfi is greater than that allowed byiOrdin nce. This ,, can easily be corrected by simply reducing it to the prescribed istance at the curb line (24 feet)•. _ i 4. The Planning Commission may wish to question the applicant regar ing the , nature of the roof proposed for this structure. The Council rec ntly adopted an Ordinance requiring roof slopes of a mini.mum of 3:12 itch. We have discussed this with the applicant but are not aware whet er it is proposed to build a flat roof or a pitched roof as required. . 5. It is also true that the house as proposed could be setback furt er from the property line if the garage were not placed in front of the ouse. You will notice that there is ample side yard space to accommo ate a home with a greater east-west dimension, thereby approximately i creasing � the distance from the residence to the pond. If the Planning Co ission and Council feel this is a matter of some concern, this could be investigated with the applicant. Prior to the meeting, we will attempt to as ertain the distance that the contiguous home is setback from the ponding ar a inasmuch as the Commission may consider that relevant to the reduction in setback proposed on this site in this application. e i � /� '� • �'' / � , � • \\`•�\ \ � •1� �� •� � � J: ,E � / � �� ,�,� \ �-- I -� —� _ _ - � ' ,t� .

Frenz has made an application for a Wetlands Permit and,a var ance for 1842 Rolling Green Curve. The property is located in the Rolling Green Subdivision, Lot 11, Block 3. At the time of platting it was not d that this lot and several other in the Rolling Green plat needed wetla ds permits granted prior to construction. P1r. Frenz's lot is immediately we t of Terrance Dobie, who was granted a variance on July 6, 1982. P�r. renz's proposed grading plan is in harmony tvith the previously aoproved obie plan. The basement slab elevation is designed to meet the required mini um three foot separation from the high water level of the holding pond. Mr. Frenz should be reminded of erosion control and his responsibility to remove any soil he allows to flow into the pond. Mr. Frenz has a reed to obtain signatures from the adjacent lot owners approving of,his plan. Subject to receipt of those statements we would recommend calling a minor development, waiving'the hearing and granting this wetlanc plication and the 36 foot 4 inch wetlands setback variance.! � is ap- � � �/�. �,, � `� IJ�'/' .. q '� T • i N • - The Demck Companias 1650 Shelard �wer Minneapol s, M 55d26 61? /546 2276 16 March 1983 , •�f. .! ,�,� � �•-� • • � - Mr. Mark Frenz • 3213 Minnehaha Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55406 RE: Lot 11, Block 3, Rolli.ng Green Mendota Heights, Dakota County, MN Dear Mr. Frenz: ' It has come to our attention that you are in need of a variance for the house you plan to build on the above described property.

Following the completion of the Comprehensive Plan for the C"ity Heights in 1961, and the adoption of a new zoning ordinance and the City in 1962, United Properties purchased a substantial por industrial lands designated for development north of Interstate proposed) and west of Trunk Highway 55. At that time a plan fo: industrial park was developed and approved and a few years la'te: Heights Road was extended east-westerly from Trunk Hiqhway 13 t� to open up the initial portions of the industrial park. Since � a few of the sites have been developed, with most of the land b� Road and Site Size f Mendota ap for on of the 94 (as an Mendota Highway 55 at time, reserved for the ultimate ,potential relating to the completion o�E I-494 across the Minnesota River, which of course opened in the Fall of11982. 2. Prior to the opening of I-494, United Properties petitioned for, City constructed Northland Drive from Pilot Knob Road to Trunk h This road is designed to open up for development the properties contiguous to the Interstate Freeway and form the southerly boun property in question in this application. Now that the freeway United Properties has chosen to develop a tract of land consisti acres under the provisions of the Planned Unit Development secti ' Ordinance which will allow for the construction of the two princ Yiuildings planned on the site. Inasmuch as these buildings are ' be constructed in three phases, the use of the Planned Unit Deve procedure is the best method for reviewing and obtaining develop from the City. • � and the ghway 55. hat are ary of the s open, g of 8.42 n of the oposed to pment nt approval Inasmuch as the Planned Unit Development process may be used for residential commercial, or industrial development, a minimum site size of te acres was established for purposes of processing a development plan un er the PUD Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance. Inasmuch as the proposed s te is 8.42 acres, it is thus necessary to process an application for variance to the minimum site size prior to the review of a PUD applicatio itself. The City Council at its 1 March meeting determined that the Plan ing � Commission could act on the site size variance at its 22 March m eting, and i� recommended for approval,�a Public Hearing for a Coriditio al Use Permit for approval of the PUD preliminary plans could be conduc ed at the 22 March meeting after the variance has been acted upon. G. 0 CASE NUMBER: 83-11 APPLICANT: United Properties Page 2 4. Each of you has been furnished a copy of a letter from United Properties to Orvil Johnson, dated 14 March, outlining United Properties' intentions and timing. The applicant is hoping to get a foundation permit approved by the City Council at its 5 April meeting. This permit would apply to the first phase only. Inasmuch as that permit applies to a single structure (at that point in time) on a single parcel (8.42 acres) the issuance of such a permit at that time is valid. 5. In the meantime, however, the PUD will be in process and could be approved by the Council at i�s 19 April meeting. The applicant, their engineers, and architects have been working at a fast pace these past months finalizing the concept and working drawings so as to enable early spring construction. There has been considerable contact with the staff on the part of all of these parties in a coordinated effort to solve the inherent problems in a project of this size. There has been a sincere attempt on all sides to make this a high quality development on one of the City's most crucial and dominant industrial sites. - 6. With respect to the variance to the site size (8.42 acres versus the required ten acres) may we suggest that the larger site size is not crucial to an industrial development, but rather that the limitation is in the Ordinance primarily applicable to residential development. The advantage of the PUD in residential planning is the dispersal of the density and ways in which to create and preserve open space where too small a site may in fact eliminate this potential. Thus, it would appear that the request for a variance to the reduced size is not a significant factor in this case. i� - � / , �, i, -�-� ,� ,. ` � - -___ _� ��J . �� , � • � � ; �'_" _ ..

The enclosed drawings further specify the details of the plat. As we discussed on the phone, our approach to the P.U.D. process will be to submit the necessary drawings for Planning Commission and City Council approval and simultaneously submit plans for the building permit for phase 1 so that we can begin construction of phase 1 after preliminary approval of the P.U.D. on April 5. We expect to receive final approval for the P.U.D. on April 19. As you are aware, United Properties has owned the land for the Mendota Heights Business Park since the early 1960's and has been waiting for the proper time to develop the land into a quality. business and industrial park. We feel that the opening of the I-494 bridge over the Minnesota River and the growth of high-tech companies in the 1980's justify our development at this time. Existing companies in the area such as Cray Research, Comserv, and Sperry Univac will provide a strong business base on which to build our marketing effort. Given Mendota Heights superior housing growth potential coupled with an abundant supply of labor, we see a growing need for quality office-service space. The Interstate provides the necessary traffic link to the entire Metropolitan area, and the site we propose to develop sits at the doorstep to the Park. We appreciate your guidance through the P.U.D. process, and look forward to Planning Commission approval on March 22 and subsequent City Council approval on April 5. Sincerely yours, ��.�e�� Marc D.

After some discussion, it was determined that United best alternative, because of many joint or common uses, would be to the property as a PUD. ', • The area involved is less than the required 10 acres, therefore step is to consider a 1.58 acre variance to the minimum. Variances granted to the 10 acre minimum outside of the residential zoning di� past and staff recommends granting this request. Subject to favorat on this request, a public hearing considering the development may be to order. i t ; ; Phase I within this project is legal to begin independent of tY. and�grading has co�nenced, ; x Staff has worked closely with the developer in preparing the pl this development and it meets all the requirements foX a conventiona ision with the.exception of having two principal structures on a si.n of land and having 9 foot wide parking stalls.

PLANNING REPORT DATE,• CASE NUMBER: ! z�Piz c�T : LOCATION: { ( ACTION REQUESTED: � 22 March 1983 83-12 United Properties Northeast Corner of Pilot Knobl Northland Drive Road and Conditional Use Permit for Pla�ned Unit Development , i � PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: � 4 1. Reference is made to reduced copies of Preliminary Site Plans, P eliminary �Grading and Drainage Plan, Preliminary Landscape Plan, and typic 1 building `elevations submitted by the applicants. If your copies have mor than one plan indicating the site design, the plan dated 11 March 1983 is the appropriate plan for consideration inasmuch as it indicates �some final adjustsnents in driveway location and parking configuration. The driveway on this plan near the center of the site on Pilot Knob Road has een moved further north to better relate with the curb configuration on Pilot Knob Road. 2. You will note that the plan divides the development into three p 49,034 square feet of structure in the first phase, 22,139 squar the second phase, and 19,411 square feet in the third phas�e. Th building square footage is 90,585 square feet producing a�site c 24.69$ on the 8..42 acre site. Each phase will be occupied by a parcel with a separate mortgage applicable to each building phas respective property. This is the normal way of handling a phase �ment of this scale. Cross access and parking easements between �guarantees the functioning of the site as a single entity. You notice that in the event that phase one onTy is completed, that lots for phases two and three could'be developed as separate par unlikely event that that would occur. The end result is the sam which occurs in all large scale regional shopping centers for in wheze each.:'anchor tenant" normally owns their own building and the remaining "tenant building" has its own parcel of land and p accommodations. In this case, it would appear that the proposed taccommodating the three phase plan are appropriately drawn as a replatting of the land from the three existing rectilinear lots survey to the three lots proposed. 3. lThe building is designed to function as an "office-service" bui }concept differs fror,l a typical office-warehouse inasmuch as the `of offices proposed is much higher and the ceiling heights in t 'area are substantially lower than that normally provided in a t ,warehouse building. In this case, the two southerly wings of t ases with f eet in total verage of eparate and its develop- 11 parcels ill he remaining els in the as that tance, arking and rking lot lines asis for the hown on the ng. This rcentage service cal office building e CASE NUMBER: 83-12 APPLICANT: -United Properties Page 2 are designed exclusively for offices having 12,062 square feet of office in Phase One and 13,077 square feet of exclusive office space in Phase Two. The remaining areas of the building are devoted to office and service with the exact percentage of office ultimately developed being somewhat flexible. We would anticipate that in this prime location, a substantial portion of the building will ultimately be utilized for office purposes only. Thus, the entire development is planned so as to provide adequate parking for this event. 4. The required parking for offices is 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of usable office space, normally referred to as net square footage. This figure excludes corridors and utility areas and is measured inside the exterior walls. Parking required for "warehouse" is one (1) space per 2,000 square feet. Reducing the gross square footage by 10� (to produce a theoretical net square footage) the entire project has adequate parking for a total office useage. 90,000 sq. ft. - 9,000 sq.ft. = 81,000 sq, ft. 81,000 sq.ft. x 5 spaces/1,000 = 405 parking spaces The proposed development has 408 spaces. 5. You will notice that the driveway locations are planned so as to locate each a substantial distance from the street intersections at the northwest corner and at the southwest corner, Al1 the parking spaces are setback the required 20 feet from the street right-of-way, and the parking circulation is handled in a manner so as to allow flexible access to available parking spaces from any driveway without returning to the public street system. You will notice too that the access to the warehouse-service area is via an interior courtyard near the center of the project. Access to this courtyard is via driveways between the structures, thereby . substantially enclosing the courtyard area and the loading.and unloading functions that will occur within that space. This results in office spaces only oriented toward the public street and the contiguous property to the east. We suggest this is a very desirable feature of the plan, and works well on this site. 6. The entire structure is masonry with a pre-finished aluminum spandrel, insulated glass, and anodized aluminum frames. The exterior is entirely of face brick with the exception of the interior truck service court being painted pre-cas� masonry block to match the color of the brick. Ordinarily the City would require continuous treatment on all four sides of the building. However, inasmuch as the interior court is substantially hidden from the public view, it may be acceptable to handle the interior court in this fashion. . 7. We have examined the preliminary landscape plan, and suggest that the scope and scale proposed would appear appropriate. Our landscape architect suggests, however, that the species of overhead trees indicated on the . � ;� � � i � CASE NUMB�R: 83-12 I� APPLICANT: United Properties � i � a �plan are not tolerant to salt. This could be a problem particu7 �Pilot Knob Road if speeds of 40 miles per hour or more are perm� �the future. This can easily be corrected by substituting White :Norway Maple, two species that are salt tolerant. The Planning .and Council may wish to handle this by simply attaching a condit ;the PUD Approval that the final landscape plan be subject to the City staff prior to installation. I 8. �Approval of the PUD would also include the location and design f �"Park Monument" indicated that the northwest corner of the site ;project sign indicated at the southwest corner. Our drawings sL �yesterday (17 March) do not indicate the design of these structt hopefully they will be available for the Planning Commission anc -hearings. United Properties, as you know, has been applying a: ,and unique sign policy on all of their properties in Mendota Hei .This calls for a low "ground sign" placed 20 feet from the prope 'rather than the 40 feet ordinarily required by the Ordinance. E signs are low and not 25 feet high as would ordinarily be requir �40 feet, they represent a substantial improvement in the aesthet � It would appear that the continuation of this policy as proposed .

Mr. Palmer is requesting Council approval of a foundation permit for Phase I of a three-phase project known as the Mendota Heights Business Center. The project is located on Lots 1, 2, 7 and 8 of the Mendota Heights Industrial Park.

Berg Code Enforcement Officer SUBJECT: Auditorium Addition - Visitation Convent I have received plans, permit application and a letter of request (see reverse side) from G. J. McGough of McGough Construction Company, Incorporated. McGough Construction is requesting a building permit to construct an auditorium addition on the Visitation Convent and School, located at 2475 Dodd Road. Council may recall that Winsor Faricy Architects, Incorporated, of Saint Paul, were before both the Planning Commission on October 27, 1981 and the City Council on November 3, 1981, requesting approval for a nine foot variance to the R-1 Zones 25 foot maximum building heighth. Both the Planning Commission and Council unanimously voted to approve the requested variance. Staff had recommended that a new fire hydrant be installed at the north corner of the new auditorium addition and the existing inactive private hydrant, located at the west end of the existing building, be put into service. I would recommend issuing the contractor the requested building permit, subject to satisfying the City license requirements, staff recommended fire hydrant activation and a new one installed and compliance with signed plans and specifications as submitted.

Livina� ri�ht next to it we have enjo,yec seein�r how many people use it and how often it is used.. seems a shame that the equipment is�allowed to �ro unrepa: The amount to repair it is ve.ry little. We have heard that you are thinkir.a� of movina� some � equipment to the Friendl,y Hills Park and shuttina down K' Park. Living between the 2 parks we Ret to observe fir; how both are actively used.. It seems a shame to close F Park when with very little repair it can still b enjo,yec it can cut down on the Friendly Hills Park pla,y �uipment ov�er.lv; crowded. Before you make a final decision I hope ,you inform 1 area of what you are thinkinar of doin� so that others ha� chance to respond to this situation.

Lockwood Mayor of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Dear Mayor Lockwood: JAM�S H. LINDAU MAYOR I am very concerned about the new tax bill, S. F. 487, H. F. 545, pa Article 7 which changes the formula for distribution of state aids. would lose $793,000.00 under the change, which is about 26% of our t and amounts to almost $10.00 per capita. It would result in Bloomin receiving $28.08 per capita in 1984. Other examples of what some would get per capita are: Albert Lea Mankato Duluth Minneapolis St. Cloud St. Paul Virginia $102.58 106.42 101.95 140.40 103.55 113.80 134.56 ti cul arly Bloomington tal in 1983 I� see from the printout prepared by the Department of Revenue that M ndota Heights will receive $251,225.00 in 1983, but only $17.4,927.00 in 19�4, for a loss of $76,298.00 if this legislation passes. That amounts to a 30 37% reduction and a per capita distribution of $24.00! I feel thi s i s a very unfai r di stri buti on of the sal es and i ncome ta which our citizens pay. If you feel the same, I trust that you will your legislators as well as the bill's authors, Senators Oouglas Joh Moe and Collin Peters, and Representatives John Tomlinson, Harry Sie Willis Eken. i Very tr41y yours, �� James H.

These coordi- nating duties of the position of city administrator may be assigned to the city clerk, deputy clerk, or a special administrative officer. The duties so � delegated must be purely ministerial: The courts will not permit the delegation of legislative discre- tion. The duties which may be delegated are the � supervision of workers, accounting, preparation of ' reports, factual determination and execution of council policies. The power to hire and fire employees may not be delegated nor may the administrator make purchases and let contracts without specific st��lards set by the council � governing this action. 4 ; Some problems arise when the duties of this position are not clearly spelled out. A detailed job description should be prepared before this position is filled. (See the League memo "The City Admin- istrator.") � A new concept in city administration involves the "circuit riding" administrator. Several small cities may agree to share the benefits of a profes- sional administrator by sharing the financial burden as well as the time of the administrator. (For more information, see "Five Mayors and an Idea," Minnesota Municipalities, March, 1976, pp. 4-6.) Except in Plan B and charter cities, department- al managers are directly responsible to the council. While they may make decisions of a daily routine nature in the operation of their departments, all questions of major policy must be referred to the council itself. In cities operating under Plan B, however, the department head is directly responsible to the city manager, not to the council, and as a result, must make the reports, submit the budget, and be directly subordinate to the manager. In fulfilling their supervisory functions, admini- strative officials should perform the following tasks: long and short term departmental planning; organization, direction, and coordination of the work load; reporting, both to the council and to the general public; and budgeting, both preparation and execution.

Although "full-service" City experience is desirable, applicants having experience or .aptitude for suburban activities and interactions will be given additional consideration.

The City Council will employ an administrator whose intergity is beyond question. The administrator is expected to be loyal to the goals of the City, honest in all respects and of sound moral principles. The City Council is interested in providing basic community services only, believing that "the least amount of government is the best government". Accordingly, the Council is looking for an administrator whose record supports good "business-like" government operations with the least amount of empire building. � ANNOUNCEMENT The Mendota Heights City Council has established the position f Deputy City Administrator.

I � :C�l��Y'' �r �1�Ut�'.S► Seven years aga executive search was a highly contraversia! practice. Managers asked biting questions #a the "headhunters" who spoke at the 1976 iGMA conference in Toronta. Whiie there were a number of firms in the executive search business, few had cfevated themseives ta executive search far any length af time. Taday ihe situation is different. When executive search consu�tants come to ICMA conferences, they are sur- rounded by managers eager to make themselves known. There is more curiousity now in hearing what per- ceptians these recruiters have of the profession. They have become re- spected observers af the cou�cif- manager retationship. Bu# there are still many qusstions about their role in the selec#ion af a city or county manager. There is con- cern thai soms in the executive search business are unethical or un- professional. Some managers be- lieve, for example, that executive search firms p(ay favorites and are prejudiced against women, minor- ities, or individuals uncfer the age of 50. i'982-83 IGMA Executive Board PRESiDENT Stan E.

A portion of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of good prac- tices that should be followed by executive search firms. These might be developed into a Code of Good Practices to which manager search firms might subscribe. Professional Practices In assembling the elements of good practice, the author concluded they fell into two categories—ethical and etiquette. Webster defines ethi- cal as "conforming to professional standards of conduct." Etiquette is defined as "the forms, manners, and ceremonies ... as required in society, in a profession, or in offi- cial life." It is interesting that both definitions specifically relate to professions. Clearly, the list of good practices that follows is based on the concept that professionals are dealing with professionals. � � tt � � � � ♦ � f � i . � . ,. . y ,. .. •, a � .. _ � , �,�:•' . . - - -• ._. . . � � � � � m.,.r-,oa- --+so�- -�taa� .0 � � w ? The Executive Search Contract " � ; Good practice requires that the ' search firm not work on a contin- gency basis: a fee is payable when _ .��1 �, ' an appointment is made regardless :�',.I.�:'' of the source or if the search is -- '�' terminated for any reason. This ar- rangement is no different than the basis on which other consultants are retained. The searcher is paid for investing his or her time in a total process. The process should not be confused with that of a place- ment firm which simply checks its files and offers the client the most likely candidates from that single source. The elements of a search are described in de- tail by Paul Reaume in this issue. ' Since the search firm will be held responsible for the ' final outcome, good practice warrants that the firm contract for the entire process. The firm should refuse to undertake a portion of the task, such as ad- ; vertising, reference checking, or screening applica- tions. RequIrement of Vacancy Some councils request search firms to begin a search before they terminate the employment of the incum- bent city manager. In this way, they hope to reduce, or eliminate, the acting manager period. No search firm should accept an assignment to fill a position � until a clear termination of the in- cumbent has been made. Acknowledgment of Applications Common courtesy dictates that ev- ery application should be acknowl- edged in writing. And each one should be acknowledged promptly. Further, each applicant should re- ceive written notification when the search is concluded. This letter should indicate the name of the suc- cessful applicant and the effective date of appointment. This informa- tion should reach the applicants be- Eore the ICMA Newsle�ter containin! notice of the new appointment. • ..�, Confideniiality — The nature of the council-manager _ relationship is such that preventing �'�� '� the names of applicants from �;:!'`�:��i�: . reaching their present employers is '— a prime responsibility of the search firm. This is especially so if the candidate did not apply for the position but rather was persuaded to become a candidate by the searcher. There is a time, of course, when the candidate's em- ployer should be informed. That time varies based on the peculiarities of each situation. In all cases, how- ever, it should be the candidate who informs the council—not a newspaper reporter. Open Recruitment Every position should be advertised in the ICMA Newsle�ter and other relevant publications. The notice should contain all requirements in the profile com- piled by the search firm based on discussions with members of the council. Unequivocally, no search firm should accept an assignment in which the client expresses age, sex, color, or religion as a factor of se- lection. Resumes received, either unsolicited or requested from a prospective applicant, should not be edited or changed in any way. Those that are referred to tfie client should be exact copies as received. Public Management/March 1983 � Cvuncil Atleridattce rlttendanee by nll meml�er-s c�(' tl�e g��re:r-�Sing bociy fc>r nll interviews is of urn�Ust importance. l.ack of atten- dance indicates to the applscant that the council doesn't consider appointment of a city manager im- portant. Further, absence oE members at specific in- terviews precludes futl and tneaningful participation in the selection decision. Pluses and Minuses Good practice warrants that the applicant be tald all the negatives as well as the pasitives of the situation. The search firm does neither the candidate nor, in the final analysis, the community, any service by dis- cussing only the pasitive aspects. Travel Expenses Travel and subsistence expenses far candidates at- tending the interview shoulci be reimbursed. The search firm should describe the arrangements ko the� candidate when the interview is agreed upon. The re- cruiter also should assist in securing accommodatians and making travel arrangements within the commu- nity where the applicant is ta be interviewed. In shart, the searcher shautd make certain that the can- didate is treated in a haspitable manner. Interview Preparafion A meaningful inkerview will accur if the candidates are given infarmation abaut the cammunity before the interview. Such inEormation might include a pro- file af the community, current budget, or annual re- gort. In some pracesses, the candidates are taken on a tour of the community. In others, they are given the opportunity to meet with department heads or other of�icials. Good practice requires that all candidates be treated equitabty. Tn much the same way as managers should dtal with councils, what is given ta one should be dis- tributed ta all the athers. And, of course, there should he no caaching of candidates with "inside" informa- tion an questions that are likely to be asked or on haw ta answer them. Credential Check Aithough uncommon in the city manager professian, there have been instances in which candidates have falsified educational attainments or work experi- ences. Goad praciice requires that the executive search firrn verify this inforrnation before the candi- date is scheduled for interview. Reference Check Normally there are two periads when reEerence checks are made. The first is befare the candidate is scheduled for interview by the council. Since can- fidentiality is required at this stage, the reference checking znust be perfarmed discreetly, Search firms generally do this by confidential discussions with other city rnanagers wha•are familiar with the candi- date. The second check is made after the interview but be- fare a format af�er is made. This check is usuaI]y per- formed by the new ernployer assisted by the searcher. Since this check normally involves community offi- cials and other Ieaders, it is performed after the can- didate has had the opportunity to inEorm his or her gresent cauncil. Fa�nily Decision The decision to relocate ta a neiv commuizity is a ma- jor ane for any family.

That is, the search should seek out th best candi- dates available for that particuIar situ tion. In na case should the firm refer one gaod c ndidate and six athers who would serve only ta make he good candi- date a clear and easy choice.

Swanson City Clerk SUBJECT: Computer Acquisition and April 1, 1983 Larry Shaughnessy Treasurer As you are aware, we have spent considerable time over the pas several months preparing fo�r an eventual recommendation on computer-system ac uisition. We herewith submit that recommendation. i The initial and most basic step was in familiarizing ourselves with "computerage" -- a very foreign language. Once we became familiar wi h the basic terms, we studied magazines and brochures to become familiar wi h the features of the most popular micro-computers. We met with a Burnsvil e CPA who demonstrated use of an Apple II, several pieces of software and a dot- matrix printer. Since our meeting with him, he has installed an IBM- C, and advises us that it is a much better system. We contacted both Peat-M rwick- Mitchell and the Hennepin County Data Processing and Auditing departm nts for information on the IBM Personal Computer and software. In both cases the contact persons responded that of all the micro-computers they had in estigated, IBM is the best. A seminar given by Peat-Marwick-Mitchell and discus ions with vendors and computer industry professionals both reinforced our'decis on to pursue acquisition of the IBM and aided us in determining peripheral eeds. We-have therefore solicited several informal quotations from vendors. Because of City participation in the Hennepin County Joint Purchasing Agreeme t, we have received a quote which falls within the $2,500 earmarked (and as yet unused) in�both 1982 and 1983 for computer system acquisition. � We recommend your authorization to purchase an IBM Personal Cor monochrome screen, letter quality printer, two double-side disc�drive: three pieces of software from Computerland, Inc, through the Hennepin Joint Purchasing Agreement for an approximate cost of $5,000.
