CA E NO. 86-32, Mayor Lockwood o�ened the meeting for the purpose
DA LAS DEVELOPMENT of a public hearing on an application from Dallas
CO , CUP/PUD Development Company for a conditional use permit
Page No. 2316
November 10, 1986
for a planned unit development for an 8 acre parcel
of land on the northeast corner of Mendota Heights
Road and I-35E. Mr. Bernie Fron, from Dallas
Development, was present to explain the request.
He noted that the front 2 acres of the site is
where a proposed three story office building will
be constructed, and that the IOS building is
already in place on the balance of the property;
He noted that a five foot front yard variance will
be needed for the building setback and a two foot
side yard variance will also be necessary. The
proposed sign will be 98 inches high and nine feet
long, with construction hoped for next spring or
when Dallas obtains a major tenant. Mr. Fron noted
that Dallas has no problem with a landscaping plan
if Council wishes to implement the Planning
Commission recommendation, and noted that this
matter could be part of the developer's agreement.
The proposed sign will be set 20 feet closer to
Mendota Hei�hts Road, thus will need a 20 feet
setback variance.
It was noted that the newly divided parcel will
contain 2.2 acres and in a B-1A district, a five
acre size is the minimum lot size required.
Council was also asked to approve a 2.8 acre lot
size variance to allow the subdivision.
Councilmember Blesener expressed her opposition to
the bright red letters proposed for the IOS sign.
Mayor Lockwood asked for questions or comments from
the audience.
A woman in the audience asked where the site is
located, and it was noted that the site is west of
St. Thomas Academy, at the intersection of Mendota
Heights Road and I-35E.
Ms. Vicki Katz, 1855 Hunter Lane, expressed concern
with the number of variances mentioned in this
request.
Mr. Robert Doffing, 1900 Twin Circle Drive, asked
how this plan relates to the bike trail parallel to
the site. It was noted that it is�the same
relationship as the present building.
There being no further questions or

hearing at 8:08 o'clock P.M.

plat per the drawing dated September 11, 1986.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
It was noted that the variances are considered and
approved as part of the PUD resolution.
NO. 86-36, Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose
& METER of a public hearing on an application from Pump and
CE, CUP Meter Service for a conditional use permit to allow
, installation of gasoline pumps at the Tom Thumb
� Superette, 1944 Dodd Road.
� Mr. George May, an attorney representing Tom Thumb
' was present for the discussion. He noted that the
! site is currently zoned B-2 and gas pumps are not
allowed in a B-2 zone. Pumps are allowed in a B-4
zone. He advised the Council that Tom Thumb is
; attempting to address a trend for convenience
, stores to sell gasoline also. He did note that he
' is aware of the Planning Commission's
; recommendation of denial for their request, and
� stated that if the Council is not in favor of the
' request, that they amend the B-2 district to allow
gasoline pumps. He also noted that he is unaware
� of wlio the present landlord is stated�that he has
no community support for the request. He also
, stated that he has met opposition in other
communities where this was requested, but when they
were approved, he felt people looked at the pumps
' as almost a blessing to the neighborhood.
� It was pointed out that if the gas pumps go in as
proposed, 14 parking stalls would be lost. He also
, stated that it was possible that the Drycleaners
and Video King may not have their leases renewed,
and that Tom Thumb could become the sole
' tenant/owner on the site. It was also noted that
j the Texaco and Standard Stations are in a B-2 zone,
; but they are grandfathered in.

stated that she feels Tom Thumb is an

strongly opposed to the
Mayor Lockwood asked anyone in favor of the
proposal to speak.
Mr. Lee Rademacher, from Pump and Meter Service,
spoke regarding the ordinance change in the 1970's,
and noted that gas stations are no�o 80-85o self
service and they fit in with a convenience store.
He stated that safety is not a problem.
Mr. Brian Birch, 755 Willow Lane, and the property
owner to the east of Tom Thumb, handed out his
comment sheet that had been distributed at the
Planning Commission meeting, no�ing .ordinance
violations if the gas pumps were to be installed.
He noted that there could be a blacktop path from
Tom Thumb to the Texaco Station to allow people to
buy gas from Texaco.
No one else in the audience spoke in favor of the
proposal.
Mr. Jerry Kafka, 1941 Dodd Road, stated that he is
already bothered by the lights from Tom Thumb and
is opposed to the gas pump proposal.
There being no further questions or comments from
the audience, Councilmember Blesener moved to close
the public hearing at 8:35 o'clock P.M.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Councilmember Witt moved that the City Attorney be
directed to prepare a resolution denying the
conditional use permit, citing the reasons for the
denial, with said resolution being available for
approval at the next City Council meeting.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
The Council noted that if the applicant desires
rezoning, they should make the appropriate
application through the Planning Commission.
Y HALL PUBLIC Mayor Lockwood introduced Mr. Stanley Gustafson,
CUSSION Chair of the Citizen's City Hall Committee. Mr.
Gustafson noted that a 12 member committee had been
� appointed in the summer of 1985 to study city hall
' needs. He noted that after nine meetings, the
Committee voted unanimously to proceed with
Page No. 2319
November 10, 198G
construction of a new city hall on the Civic Center
site, located at the northwest corner of Lexington
and TH 110. He noted that this site is owned by
the City and during the course of their meetings,
they noted that to build a new 18,500 square foot
city hall would be cheaper in the long run, than to
lease 11,000 square feet of space. He said the
committee was concerned with a prudent use of the
tax dollar, and had reviewed six sites. The
committee studied three different building
placements on the site and he explained the
advantages or disadvantages of each placement. He
noted that the City has an excellent staff doing an
excellent job under job constraints, particularly
in the police department. Mr. Gustafson introduced
committee members Robert Doffing, Barbara Eschle,
Frederick Fischer, Sharon Koll, Jerame Morson and
David Zemke. He then asked for questions or
comments from the audience.
Ms. Jenny Michels, 1907 Hunter Lane, stated she was
in favor of a new city hall, but not on the Civic
Center site.
Mr. Lawrence Culligan, 1949 Glenhill Road, stated
he is not opposed to a new city hall,•but expressed
concerns with the site, i.e., had soil borings been
done to support a building, what the site is zoned,
what the alternatives to a city hall would be, that
is, single family homes as opposed to gas stations,
etc.
Chair Gustafson noted that the marsh will not be
- touched and no filling will be done, as the
� committee feels the marsh is an asset.
Ms. Vicki Katz, 1855 Hunter Lane, complimented the
, committee on doing a really good job. She stated
� her major complaint was she felt there was no point
in taking a park-like area and putting up a
, building and a lot of asphalt. She asked if an
environmental impact statement had been done.
� Mr. Carl Schway from Twin Circle Drive, asked what
i effect the city hall building will have on the
residential buildi�gs in the area. He felt certain
that the valuations will decrease and there will be
an increase in traffic.
Mr. Roger Jenny, Hwy. 110 Frontage Road, noted that
he is in favor of the proposal on that site and
noted that he spoke for two elderly neighbors who
could not attend, that they supported the City Hall
there also. He felt that the marsh is a mosquito
,
Page No. 2320
November 10, 1986
bed with many rodents in addition to the geese in
the area, and that there is a poor ball bark. He
felt the building would fit in well, and commented
that a new synagogue will also be constructed in
the area. He stated that the City needs a building
to be proud of and would welcome the close
proximity of the police department to his
neighborhood.
Mr. William Soll, 1084 Avanti Drive, asked what
will happen to Lexington Avenue and will it be
widened.
Public Works Director Jim Danielson noted that
Lexington will be widened to 44 feet north of TH
110 and perhaps the speeds will be reduced with the
police department located there.
Mayor Lockwood noted that originally the site was
commercial and the City prevailed in a lawsuit to
have it zoned R-1.
Mr. James Olund, owner of most of the slough,
stated that he would be willing to give up 1-1 1/2
acres of his slough land to add to the marsh and
proposed that the marsh be landscaped with walkways
to beautify the area.
Ms. Katz stated that she likes the walkway
proposal.
Mr. Thomas Fee, 984 Stratford Road, asked why the
building is proposed to be nearer to Lexington as
opposed to any other area on the site.
Mrs. Mathisrud, 1860 Hunter Lane, noted the
extensive cost of pilings if the building were to
be moved closer to the wetlands.
Chair Gustafson also noted that the utilities are
located in Lexington and therefore much closer to
the proposed building site.
Committee member Jerome Morson noted the poor soil
i
conditions on the westerly portion of the site.
', Mr. John Mathisrud, 1860 Hunter Lane, stated he was
; initially opposed to the site, but now felt it
� could be an asset. He expressed concern with the
! Council Chambers area of the building looking like
, a silo.
Ms. Vicki Katz felt the city employees need more
room but they should investigate going into
&
Page No . 2 3 21
November 10, 1986
existing buildings with existing parking areas.
Mr. Robert Doffing, Committee member, reiterated
that the Civic Center site is not an official park
site.
Mr. John Roszak, 988 Stratford Road, asked if the
� building will be adequate for future growth.
� Mr. Lawrence Gulligan asked if there would be a
public meeting to'design the exterior of the
buiiding.
� Ms. Vicki Katz suggested that perhaps residents
with a backgraund in architecture could donate
; their time to help in the design.
There being no further camments or questions, Mayor
Lgckwood and the Gauncil thanked Mr. Stanley
Gu�tafson for his presentation.
Ma�or Lackwood called for a recess at 9:39 o'clock
P.M. The meeting wa� reconvened at 9:49 o'clock
P.M.
Councilmember Ble�ener moved to accept the
recammendatian of the City Hall Committee and to
proceed with design and construction of a new city
hall as recommended.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motian.
Councilmember Cummins noted that he had same doubts
but has resolved them and he believes in the wisdom
of the Committee.
Cotzncilmember Bie�ener directed staf� ta place this
item on an agenda at a Iater date for the next
step.
NO. 86-25, Mr. Terry Dobie and hi.s attorney, Peter Beck were
,�SUBDIVISTON present. Mr. Beck noted his letter addressed to
LANDS PERMIT the City Gouncil regarding this matter, which had
, been tabled from the October 21 meeting, and
� briefly went over the praposal. He noted that hi.s
client had met with staff and severa].
Councilmembers and looked at other options and
after review, had decided to request plat approval
as original.ly proposed with a through street. He
� noted the following environmental impacts as the
reasons for this decision.
1. A cul-de-sac requires adda,tianal. grading and
' tree removal.
Page No . 2 322
November 10, 198G
� 2. Safety impacts of a cul-de-sac route.
; 3. Access to Marie Park.
' 4. Fire and police protection concerns.
5. City ordinance requiring 500 foot maximum cul-
de-sacs.
6. A cul-de-sac would require steeper street
grades which would be more difficult in winter.
Mr. Dobie had contacted Roger Derrick, developer of
the Rolling Green area adjacent to the proposed
Stratford Woods plat and Mr. Derrick stated
Stratford Road was planned to go through and noted
that his sellers were to be clear in advising
potential buyers that Stratford Road would be a
through street. The drawings on Derrick's plans
showed Stratford stopping (to be extended in the
� future), while McClellan Associates, a partner in
� Rolling Green, showed a partial cul-de-sac on their
drawing.
I Acting City Attorney David Moran noted that the
Odell decision referred to in Mr. Beck's letter,
' does not bind the City Council to grant approval.
; He noted that if Mr. Dobie came in with a proposal
for two cul-de-sacs, the City Council could deny
the request due to the cul-de-sacs being
substantially longer than 500 feet, the City's
normal maximum cul-de-sac length.
Councilmember Hartmann noted that all the cul-de-
sac proposals have at least one cul-de-sac longer
than 500 feet.
Mayor Lockwood felt that Mr. Dobie's request for a
through street makes the best planning sense.
Mayor Lockwood moved that the subdivision proposal
be accepted as originally requested.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.
Mr. John Roszak, 988 Stratford Road, noted that he
closed his lot purchase at the Derrick office and '
discussed the 500 foot cul-de-sac. He referred to
the April 18, 1978 Council minutes where the cul-
de-sac is not referred to as being temporary.
In response to a Council question, he did reply
that the easements were never filed with Dakota
County.
Page No. 2323
November 10, 1986
Mrs. Mary Roszak, 988 Stratford Road, stated the
Council has the option to proceed with Derrick's
intent.
Councilmember Blesener stated she would like to
respect the neighbors expectations, however she
realizes there are problems in the plat and that
the original proposal is a logical solution.
Ms. Debbie Fee, 984 Stratford Road asked why they
should have to live with the consequences of Mr.
Dobie's purchase. She suggested looking at an
uninvolved third party to draw up alternate plans.
Mr. Jack Hurley, 992 Stratford Road, stated that
the through street is a dead-end approach, going no
where. He noted that the neighbors are in favor of
the development, but asked for consideration of the
cul-de-sac proposal.
Mr. Lee Houske, 975 Kay, stated he would like to be
tied into the neighborhood and likes Mr. Dobie's
presentation this evening with a through street.
Mr. Thomas Fee reiterated what took place at
previous meetings and also suggested bringing in an
uninvolved third party.
Councilmember Blesener liked the idea of
constructing a pedway between the two cul-de-sacs.
Mayor Lockwood asked who would maintain the pedway
and felt it would be a detriment to the homeowners
on whose lots it would be.
Ms. Debbie Fee said that if this proposal is
approved, then Mr. Dobie should do something with
Lot 1, which is next door to her home.
Mr. Dobie stated he would work with the Fee's on a
footage trade if they would be willing to work with
him.
Councilmember Cummins suggested amending the motion
to include an expansion of Lot l, which is 15,000
� square feet, while the other four lots contain
between 17,600 square feet and 29,800 square feet,
by adjusting the lots lines closer to 17,000 square
feet.
Mr. Thomas Fee stated his only concern is the
through street, not the size of Lot 1.
Councilmember Cummins withdrew his proposed

Mr. Beck reflected on the Council minutes of April
18, 1978, and noted that the word easement is used
and he felt easement meant temporary.
Mrs. Jean Esslinger, 1003 Stratford Road, noted
that she rents the house from her father, and she
fails to see the major advantages of a through
street. She stated that her father purchased this
lot because it was on a cul-de-sac.
The Council then voted on Mayor Lockwood's motion.
Blesener, Witt
Councilmember Cummins moved approval of a wetlands
permit for Stratford Woods.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Blesener, Witt
Mayor Lockwood noted that the motion carried and he
expressed thanks and appreciation for Mr. Beck's
letter.
NO. 86-35, Mr. Dale Glowa, United Properties, was present to
D PROPERTIES, request variances to allow erection of a 128 square
VARIANCE foot temporary sign to be placed on their property
along I-494. Mr. Glowa noted that Planner Dahlgren
had challenged the appearance of the sign at the
; Planning Commission meeting, and noted that each
I side of the non-illuminated sign will be 8' x 16'.
After a brief discussion, Councilmember Hartmann
moved approval of a 40 foot setback variance and a
28 square foot sign area variance to allow
placement of a 128 square foot temporary sign on
the edge of United's property on I-494 frontage.
Councilmember Witt seconded the motion.

Estates area has been platted. He presented the
Council with photos of the runoff in his yard.
Public Works Danielson suggested that the
Mississippi River Water Management Organization be
involved in the study.
The Council and Acting City Attorney Moran
suggested that�Mr. Cornick look into asking the
Kingsley and Lilydale Townhomes Associations to
participate in helping solve the problem.

copies of the letter from Mn/DOT be sent to
Lilydale.
The Council also acknowledged a report from Public
Works Director Danielson on proposed improvements
to Wagon Wheel Trail.
IL COMMENTS Councilmember Hartmann stated he felt the moved-in
house at 929 Chippewa was a hazard with no basement
windows in place, and the openings from the beams
still there. He felt the owner was doing a minimal
job of completion and asked that something be done.
He also reported of a complaint regarding the
possible burning of garbage in a garage at 606
Valley Lane, and noted the large pull trailer
parked in the street in front of the residence,
along with a front-end loader which may be parked
along the driveway.
Councilmember Hartmann also reported that an
accident had occurred at Downing and TH 13, and
wondered if it was caused by a site obstruction.

the McCloud property. She also asked if there was
a City ordinance regarding how high above the

on Wagon Wheel Trail where the garage floor is
below the street level.

: Ponds of Mendota Heights Feasibility Report
The followzng constitutes a Feasibilit� Report concerning the
inst llation of public utilities to serve the Ponds of Mendota
Heig ts Subdivision, which is located between Dodd road and Warrior
Driv , north af North Freeway Raad. The subdivisian consists af 22
lots but there is other property that is also likely to be a�fected
by t e prapased praject. Just west of the su}3divisian lies a small
parc 1 owned by the United Methadist Church, and a"anather parcel
owne by Mr. and Mrs. John Houchens. Both of these parcels can be
serv d at the same time as the Ponds project, and each can have abau�
5 lo s directly off of Wesley Lane; this would bring the total number
of 1 ts served to about 32. In the fallowing paragraphs each af the
publ'c utilities will be di�cussed. The attached drawings show the
prop sed method of serving the development. The final portion of
this report will cansist of a sum�tary af the assessments that will
have to be levied as a result of the utility construction.

Y SEWER
It is propased that sanitary �ewer be installed to serve the 22
in the proposed development as well as the pazcels lying to the
of the deveSopment �entioned eariier. . The Ponds subdivi�ion is
down the middle by the Warrior Pond, leaving 6 lots on the east
of the pand and 16 lots on the wast side of the pond. Therefor�
lI be necessary to serve the property fram two existing sanitary
als. The west side of the pond can be served by the exi�ting
ary st�b on Wesley�Lane. The Church lots and Hauchens Iots will
rved by this sewer extension as well. The lats lying to the
of the pond will have ta be servad by a different sanitary line.
isting sanitary sewer lateral with the required minimum depth
to the north, under Callahan street. In order to hook up to
line it will be necessary to pass between twa existing homes on
outh side af Callahan. The total cost ta serve the west side of
ar pond amounts to approximately $79,650, and the total cost to
the 6 lots on the east side af the pond amounts to $61,60�,
ding overhead, and contingencies. The cost af serving the six
east af the pond appears to be high, but these lots will not
re new �treets or watermain, �o the high sanitary co�ts are
t by the lack of other assessments. Another method of serving
six lots is to extend the sanitary stub that is further south
rrior Drive, but this method would requir� that the house pads
sitioned 400' back from the pond. The developer does not feel
the lots wauld be as vaivable if this method were used.
WATERMAIN
Watermain will be required only for the lots on the west side of
the pond. The Church and Houchens �arcels will also be served. The
lots on the east side of the pond will be served by long service
lines from the existing main along Warrior Drive. The total cost of
the watermain to serve the 26 potential lots on the west side of the
pond amounts to $85,078, including overhead, and contingencies.
STORM SEWER
The storm water for this area currently drains to two different
places. The Church parcel and Houchens parcel drain to Wesley Lane
and most of the lots in the Ponds subdivision drain into Warrior
Pond. The water draining ta Wesley can be handled by extending the
Wesley storm sewer system 300',,but it will..be necessary to
construct some type of outlet for Warr.ior Pond. This outlet was the
subject of an earlier memo to the CounciZ irom Jim Danielson. In the
memo 4 options of providing an outlet were discussed. The
recommended action was to extend the Wesley Lane storm sewer system a
full 1000' to the pond to provide an outlet. If this method is
employed, a ditch in the Mn/dot Right of.Way will be required. Staff
is currently awaiting word from the Mn/dot Hydraulics department as
to whether or not this method will be acceptable. The total cost of
this option is $72,600, including overhead and contingencies.
If this option is not acceptable to Mn/dot then the storm sewer
outlet for the pond will cost considerably more, but Staff is
confident Mn/dot will agree to the Wesley Lane option.
STREETS
It is proposed that Wesley Lane and South Lane will be extended
to serve the development. A large portion of Wesley Lane is not on
the plat, so it will be necessary for the City to perform at least
some of the street grading; therefore Staff recoinmends that the City
perform all the street grading. This way the City can minimize the
damage to the existing yards where South Lane currently ends.
Homeowners Peterson and Bertz will be affected by this project. Mr.
Peterson has stated that he wants the City or developer to install a
fence along the proposed street extension to keep pedestrians from
entering his yard (see attached letter). Note that fences and trees
in the sight triangle of an intersection are against city policy.
The cost of the st�eet project reflects restoration costs that may be
incurred after the street has been extended past these two
homeowners. The total cost of mass c�rading of the streets will be
about $54,300. The street construction costs for Wesley Lane and
South Lane extensions amount to $140,040. In addition to these
street extensions, some work must be done on the end of Warrior
Drive. Staff proposes that a small turnaround be constructed at the
end of Warrior Drive to provide access to the northern most lot on
the east side of the pond. The cost of this turnaround is estimated
to be $3,000, including overhead.

This project is unique in that there are four distinct areas
that are to be assessed, each for different amounts. There is the
East side of the pond, the West side of the pond, the Church
prop rty, and the Houchens property. Starting with sanitary sewer,
the 6 lots on the East side should pay for the costs associated with
serv'ng them. This amounts to $61,600, or $10,266 per lot. Assuming
that the Church and Houchens will each have 5 new lots, and there are
16 1 ts on the west side of Ponds subdivision, the $79,650 to serve
all he 26 other lots with sanitary will be about $3064 per lot.
There are no costs associated with serving the eastern 6 lots
with watermain; they were assessed when the watermain was installed
unde Warrior Drive. The Church and Houchens lots__will receive the
same benefit as the western Pond lots. Therefore the $85,080
for 'nstalling watermain should be divided among these 26 lots. This
amou ts to $3272 per lot.

The storm sewer systein benefits all the properties equally
: all the Ponds land, Church •land and Houchens land along the
�sed street and pond drain into the proposed system. Therefore
�torm sewer assessments will be based on the contributing area.
:otal acreage draining into the system is divided as follows:
:h=2.8ac, Houchens=3.7ac, Ponds of MH=15.Oac. Thus the
�sment works out to $3358 per acre or $9403 to the Church,
�25 to Houchens, and $50,372 �to the Ponds. This works out to
:$2290 per lot to all 22 lots in the subdivision.
It is proposed that all the street grading and street
:ruction costs be assessed to the western Ponds lots, the Church
�l, and the Houchens parcel, and the cost of the Warrior Drive
.roud be assessed to the 6 lots on the east side of the pond.
the 26 lots on the west would be assessed $5386 for street costs
�2088 for grading costs. The 6 eastern lots should be assessed
each for the cost of the Warrior Drive turnaround. No other
�t costs should be assessed against the east lots because that
already has been assessed for the cost of Warrior Drive.

figures appear to be �lightly higher then assessments for some

the end of 1988. Two alternative locations for this building are being examined by the
Dakota Cou ty Board. One alternative is to construct the building at the existing
County Gov rnment Center site in Hastings. The second alternative is to purchase land
in a� more central location closer to the majority of the County's population. This
alternativ will require special legislation exempting the County from the requirement
of l�ocating certain elected officials at the County seat. The third issue for

SUB ECT: Proceeding With City Hall Construction
At the meeting of November 10, Council voted unanimously to
pro eed with construction of a City Hall at the Civic Center site,
as ecommended by the Citizen's City Hall Committee. Staff was
dir cted to bring the matter back to the Council for the next
ste . It seems to me that in order to proceed, we need to make a
dec sion about architectural services.
In Spring of 1985, the City circulated the attached Request
For Proposals. We received 12 responses, which staff reduced to
fou for further consideration. The names of these firms are
doc mented in an attached memorandum. After in�te�view with the
fou , an agreement was entered with� tYie firm��of � Lindberg Pierce; a
cop of our architectural services agreement with them is
att ched. Lindberg Pierce has now completed their services under
the agreement, with the exception of a scaled model of the project
und r Contract Section 1.3.3, which Council requested be delayed.
Our original RFP indicated that we would likely continue with
the same architectural firm for Phase II as for Phase I, but
ret in the option to make that decision until the completion of
Pha e I. That is the decision that is before us this evening.
Lin berg Pierce has estimated their further architectural charges
at oughly 8% of project costs, which would mean approximately
$11 ,000. Under our current contract with them, we would receive
a c edit for half of the work in Phase I, or $5,000 toward this
cha ae.
Should Council decicle that•they do not wish to automatically
eed into Phase II with Lindberg Pierce, there are at least
e options: ,
1. Review and perhaps re-interview the four finalists that
were interviewed by Council for Phase I.
2. Reconsider all of the 12 proposals that were provided in
response to the original application.
3. Draw up and distribute a new Request for Proposals.
:ON REQUIRED:
To choose a course of direction regarding retention of an
�itect, and direct staff accordingly.

. Request for Propasals for City Ha11 Architects
Qur lease with DCR Cargoratian runs through August l, 19$7, with a two-
r renewal. option. On several occasions, staff has reiterated ta Council
t we are outgrawing our current space. The Police Department in partic-
r, is facing serious space problems.
The Municipal �'acili�ies Space Study, completed for the_City by Midwest
Pl nning in 1975, envisioned that we would eventually need a City Hall af
ap roximately 8,040 square feet. Last year, sta�f did its own rough space
ne ds projection, and guesstimated l0,OQ0 - 12,OQ0 square feet. Preliminary
fi ancial projec�ions were that once we had constructed a City Hall of that
si e, on-goi.ng operations and main�enance costs would be substantially 1.ess
th n the rent bea.ng paid for aur curren� 5,p85 square fee�. in the Bank
bu' 3.ding. We al.sa estimated that it mi.ght well be possible to raise suffic-
ie � funds ior constructian of such a facility, without going to a bond
re erendum.
As with computers, the staff is na� expert in space rteeds and archit-
ec ural planning. The I9$S budget allocates $7,000 of our General Revenue
Sh ring entitlement �o do a project planning and grogracnmi.ng phase, so that
we can decide whether and how ta proceed with construction in time for a
s er, 1987 occupation.
FOR PROPOSALS
We are at the stage af being ready to proceed wi�h the pragramming
ph se. Attached is a suggested "Request for Proposa7.s" ta solacit architec-
tu al fzrms wha would have the expertise to carry out the project. I thinic
th RFP is fairly self-explanatory. We wi11 send it to a number of f irms,

It is recommended that Council approve the I2FP, so that we can proceed
to consider whether, how, and where to build a City Ha1I.

REQUEST F4R PROPOSALS
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICE
MENDOTA HEI�HTS CITY FiALL
BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota Heights contemplates construction of a City Ha11 in
19$6/$7, and seeks the services of an architeetural firm to provide assist-
ance in the initial phase (Phase I) of project planning and programming.
The successful applicant will likely be retained to comple�e Phase II
phases {�,e., design speciiications, bid let�ing, consCructian supervision,
etc.), but the Ci�y does retain the right to select a different firm for
this phase a� the praject.
A new City Iiall would house the Administration, Code Enforcement,
Engineering and Police Departments of the City, as we11 as space for City
Council and other public meetings. These offices are currently located in
leased facilities of 5,085 square feet. Community growth and expanszon af
City services are causing the City to outgrow this space. Projectians are
tha� sgace af apgroximately 10,004 square feet will be needed, and it would
be more economical for the City to canstruct and main�ain its awn building,
rather than leasing the additional space. Iiowever, these are a11 presup-
positions that the architectural firm wauld be expected to test as a par� of
the project planning and programming phase. If a decision is made to build,
the City desires to be able to occupy the new structure by 3uly I, I,987,
The City alread.y owns several pieces af property that might be feasible
sites. A1so, it is expected that a majority of the funds for construction
can be raised internally, and a vater referendum will either be unnecessary
or of a rela�.ively sma1l amount.
SERVICE REQUESTED - PHASE S
Service to be provided by the archi�ect at the project glanning and
programm.i.ng stage shall include:
1, Needs Assessment - Mee�ing with each department, the City Administra�Cor,

5. Presentation of Results to Citv Council and Staff.
6. Preparation for Bond Referendum (optional) - If it is determined a
re erendum is required, architect will assist with necessary documents,
gr phics, etc. Cost for this optional step should be ug oted separately.
SER�ICE REQUESTED - PHASE II
If, at the completion of Phase I, it is decided to proceed with con-
st uction, an architectural f irm (likely the same as for Phase I) will be
re ained required to provide the following services:
l.� Follow-up meetings wih staff and Council to "tie down" the details of
sp ce and facility needs.
2. Preparation of all documents and drawings to fix the size and character
of the structure, including floor plans, structural, mechanical and
el ctrical systems, materials, interior decor, signage, site and landscaping
pl ns, elevations, parking lot, and other appurtenances.

Director Danielson respanded that there daes not

YORKTON BUILDING It was noted by Councilmember Blesener that
it appears that two-thirds of the building
has a four-story exposure since a
considerable amount of the lower level is
exposed.
Mr. Doug McMillan, legal counsel for the
developer, stated that the from the north
elevation, the structure is a three story
building but that from a different elevation
there is a fourth story, making it a three-
story walk-out. He stated that he believes
the structure is considered three-story
architecturally and that overall height of a
structure is the basis on which the number
of floors is determined.
It was noted that the structure fits the
terrain logically and that the Code
Enforcement Officer's report referred to the
proposed building as a three-story structure
with a full basement. After discussion on
the matter, Council found that the proposed
structure is a three-story building.
In response to a question from Councilmember
Cummins, Mr. McMillan stated that exterior
of the structure will be grey (Cold Spring)
granite and non-reflective grey glass.
Councilmember Cummins•stated that he would
be more comfortable with approving granting
of the permit if Council were provided with
an update on the status of the rest of the
Centre Pointe South development and more
details on exterior treatment of the
buildings.
Mr. McMillan stated that the developer hopes
to fast-track the project and is just
requesting a footing and foundation permit
at this time. He stated that the final
building plans have not yet been completed
but that they will be prepared and submitted
to Council for review prior to a request for
approval of the total building permit.
Councilmember Blesener moved to approve the
issuance of a footing and foundation permit
subject to final staff review of the plans
and issuance of a wetlands permit by the
