The City Cauncil of Mendota Heights through its t�lanager, Or� Johnson, has requesied that I corrment on ihe praposed Pfaff Housing Project praposed in the City of Lilydale, contiguou� the City af Mendota Heights. We understand the deve�opment consist of twa apartment buildings, one af which wi11 have � units on a 75,956 square foot site, and one which would conr af a 24 unit building an a�4,6�0 square foot site area. i'i buildings are proposed to contain an equal number of one bec and ta�o bedroam apartments. Parking is to consist of one s� per unit in the lower level of the structures, and one spac� unit above grade. 2. 7he total sites together include 2.75 acres, which i-F devel with a iotal of 72 uni�s praduces a density of 25 units per We feel this is an unjustifiably high density for these re1 small parcels, praviciing space anly for parking, building a and minimal setbacks to the property lines. When deve1apme such density is piaced irr�ediately contiguaus to single fam housing, it has a severe de1eterious affect on the environm for single fami3y housing in the immediate area, particular �hat housing immediately contiguaus. In this case, there i existinq single family house which would be left between th units. We feei this is a very unfair situatian and it is n narmally condoned in a community or in a court of law. 3.

We feel such a density wa an apprapri ate (?OSS'i a'1 �) 'i tj� i f properly pl anned on the si te. case, the existence of the singie family house between the multiple development parcels makes far a very undesirable c 4.

Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Fire Service Contract Updating The present fire protection contracts with Lilydale, Mandota Sunfish Lake are dated January l, 1974. In late 1973, we negotiai contracts with the three coIIut►unities. At that time, the amounts � increased, based on a rather hvrriedly assembled formula: a formu� took into account population and valuation. The contracts for Li_ and Mendota are in effect until proper notification of amendment � The contract for Sunfish La}�e does spell out the last advance payr the year 1978. The original contract dated in 1965 indicates that contracts "continue thereafter from year to year unless and until party gives to the other party written notice of termination of tt at least thirty (30) days prior to an anniversary date." Althougt sufficient time to discuss this matter and still give proper notic believe that we should give notice now during budget preparation i noting that fire protection costs will possibly increase. A rather sophisticated formula has been developed and appear: satisfactory amongst communities �:n the western suburbs. This fo� involves actual cost of services which obviously includes: 1. Cost of equipment, on a depreciated schedule; 2. K� Cost of building on a depreciated schedule; Operating e�enses; 4. Fire calls for�each community. Please refer to attached magazine article for more details. Gene made preliminary calculations using such a iormula and has arrivec concllision that Mendota should receive a decrease in charges, Lil� receive a substantial increase in charges, and Sunfish Lake shoulc receive a small increase.

Therefore, I would recommend that Sherm be given direction to give the proper notice which should include a"non-legal" explanation of what is being reco�ended and the invitation to participate in the applic tion of the formula.

The prob}em was then to equate use and potential use of the fire department with an adequate annuai charge. One method of determining this charge would be an a per unit basis. Hawever, this did not take inta consideration the vaiue of the unit protected and did not allaw for grass fires which were prevalent on vacant lots during the Spring and Faf1 dryseasons.

Authorizing the Mendota Heights City Attorney, Howar Dahlgren Associates Planning Consultant, and any and all other Mendota Heights facilities or agencies to oppose the proposed apartment development on two (Z) sites having a total area of 2.75 acres with high de sity apartments. . understand the proposed apartment d opment would have a tota of seventy-two (72) units sulti g in a density of twenty-six 6) units per , We belie e that the compromise of six (6) its r acre as agreed u on in the previous litigation inv 'ng dota Heights, Lilydale and Inland Construc ompany for the evelopment on Lexington Avenue uglas Road, should be the m'mum density per acre. 2. To commit all reasonable efforts to oppose the propos , apartment complex at all governmental and quasi-gover levels, including but not limited to the Metropolitan Council, Metropolitan Sewer Commission, Dakota County Minnesota Environmental Ouality Council, and before a ings at Lilydale Planning Board and City Council meet well as in all Courts of law. G)e believe the proposed development is an outrageous use of this ti�� ridst of a single family neighborhood; any high density devel this land would create a serious traffic hazard to vehicles seeki and egress from Victoria Avenue during peak traffic hours, especi the Winter nonths. At the present time, even without high densit the apartment complex, negotiating the steep hill adjacent to the apartment development is ultrahazardous. d Pfaff mental Planning �� Board, 1 proceed- ngs, as and in pment of g inoress lly during traffic of proposed We further believe that the proposed plan is inadequate to provid aesthetically attractive landscaping. Current plans call for the 75,956 square foot site to have 48 living units, 48 underground interior parking facilities nd 59 parking spaces above grade. As a result, this development will have a se ious adverse impact on adjacent single family homes in the area. There can be no justification for this high density development e cept for the s' le reason as expressed by Mr. Pfaff, namely: economics. This of course, i, is business decision and risk. � We urge you to demand extensive plans and specifications includin engineering studies for the nethod of disposing of surface water and its impa t upon adjoin- ing properties and facilities serving the site. k'e are proud of our neighborhood which includes existing single f< and multiple dwelling residences in Alendota Heights and Lilydale � 1} request that you protect our interests as homzowners to the fu7 Mendota Heignts Civic Association has established an Ad Hoc.
