Howard has now indicated that their charge for pr paratian o�' the brachure would be from $4,980 to $6,450, an printing costs would be $2,515 for 5,000 copies. Howard ha pravided copies o� a si�ilar brochure published by the Ci of Roseville, ta total cast �or Howard's contract, should Council decide �nc2ude preparation of the brochure, is $11,250, and with � .,PiLJTi�'�..�' printing at $2,515, the total maximum cost comes to $13,765. In the 1986 budget, staff had also anticipated up to $7,200 of additional expenses for the City Attorney, City Engineer, and printing and legal publication costs. The total costs for revising the code does not exceed last year's appropriation, but adding in production and printing of the brochure, does add about $7,000 beyond the original budget. ACTION REQUIRED If Council wishes to continue with the project, including the brochure, it should pass a motion approving the letter of agreement with Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban, and appropriate $21,000 from General Fund balance to the 1987 Planning budget. 9•P- LMC Legislative Position on Minimum Wage Law A bill has been introduced in the Minnesota Legislature to raise the minimum wage from $3.35 to $4.25 for those 18 and older, and from $3.02 to $3.83 from those under 18. These changes would apply to local government. The only City positions affected by this change would be summer T-ball coaches, and, to a lesser extent, our winter warming house attendants. Total annual impact on the City budget shouldn't exceed approximately $1,250. The League of Minnesota determine what position options, of course, are 3)take no position. ACTION REQUIRED Cities is surveying it's members to it should take on the bill. The to: 1)support i;t, 2)oppose it, or Council should indicate what position it prefers the League to take. � . 2/s s� cz.xzMs z�zsT Fe 1987 �C. � � .� �'! :45 PM City of Mendota Neights Aayment Transaction Listi»g Qe,gt• ZO-A in _ ,�pt- 50=Rd & Hridges '�15- � gr b0-Utii't��5� _- , 20-P lice 7Q-Parks 30-F're 80-Planming 40- O 90-Animal.

Fra ,/�ity Administrator � SU ECT: "Brains orming" Session with City Hall Architects, and Consideration of Appointing Building Committee The architects contract has now,been signed, and the itects have had an initial review of the program with the f. They are now ready to hold the first "brainstorming" ion with the Council.. I have previously confirmed with all of that we can meet at 6:30 P.M. prior to the Council meeting on day, February 3. The meeting will be held in the Engineering erence Room. The purpose of this meeting is to get early Council input pri r to the schematic design phase, and also to talk about a tim line for the project. Attached is a preliminary progress sch dule, proposed by the architects. Council has �reviously suggested that it would like to est blish a building committee to assist in making policy decisions as the work progresses. Based on their previous exp rience, the architects have suggested a committee of app oximately five people, consisting of one or two Co cilmembers, one or two citizens, and the City Administrator. I uld also suggest that Police Captain Gene Lange be on the co ittee, because of his knowledge of building practices, his pre ious experience in overseeing construction of the new fire sta ion, and the fact that I will be designating Gene as the City staff person with day to day responsibility for working with the arc itects and contractors. Notwithstanding the work of the building committee,'I re ognize that the entire Council will likely want to have input in o the design stage at critical points. Included in the at ached timeline are the dates of March 17 and April 21, which ar regularly scheduled Council meeting dates. I suggested to the ar itects that perhaps the building committee would meet prior to th se dates, and forward its recommendations to Council for its ra ification at these two meetings. ON REQUIRED: 1. To hold a general discussion with the architects about tations for design of the new City Hall. 2. To consider and approve a progress schedule. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS --�� • MEMO 3.

Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 LANGER SITE Mr. Charles Nolan, from Nolan Brothers, Inc., his son, and Mr. Bill Pierson, were present to get feedback from the Council regarding their proposal for development of the 17 acre Langer site, located in the northwest quadrant of 494/35E. Mr. Nolan noted that this site could become a corporate headquarters site if the total overall parcel were not subdivided. His proposal was to relocate his present air park on Lexington Avenue in Eagan to this site. Mr. Nolan distributed a handout to the Councilmembers showing various statistics of different land uses for the site. He noted that a use of light manufacturing could generate 2200 trips per day from the site, an office building could generate 3000 trips per day, and a proposed air park could generate 696 trips per day. Mr. Nolan noted that access could be off of TH 55 and Mendota Heights Road and that the �roperty is in a unique position with relationship to the airport. In response to a Council question, Mr. Nolan stated that his firm is working with the airport, and that the site would have a capacity for 1700 cars, while the average would be 650-700 cars per day. Councilmember Witt stated it was her belief that an air park would not be the best use of the land for the City. She felt a commercial building or restaurant would be better, rather than an such a large area of blacktop. Mayor C Page No. 2365 January 20, 1987 Mertensatto agreed and Councilmember Ble$ener also felt an air park would not be the best use oi the land given the limited bu�iness area in the City. Mayor Mer�ensatto noted that he would not support such a large parking facility. � Councilmember Hartmann e�ressed concern with th� present drainage problem in �he TH 55/Mendota Height� Road area and felt that an air park could campound the drainage prablems in the area. Mr. Nolan r�sponded that a holding pond would be provided so as not ta contribute any more runoff than what is present naw. Mayor Mertensotto thanked Mr. Nolan �or his presentation but added that the general consensus of the Council is that they would not loak favorably on the proposal. TEGT'S Mr. Robert Pierce, architect from Lindberg ACT FOR Pierce was present for discussion of the HALL propased cantract for construction of a new city ha11. Mayor Mertensotta noted that he felt the project shou2d be cut back to the 18,440 square feet as originally outlined in the Citizen's Committee report and also that he had spoken earliar to Mr. Pierce and that Mr. Pierce had agreed to a 7%, rather than an 8o fee, but that the $4,750 credit fram previous wark would b� deleted. Mayor Merten�otto noted that the 18,440 square feet isa66% increase aver the �quare footage the City presently works in. Mayor Mertensotto recommended a total project budget of $1,388,500, and a $65.00 �er square Eoot construction cast. Mr. Pxerce nated that with the cost per sc�uare foot at $6.00 less than before, the buzlding would have l�ss higher quality materials in it. Councilmember Cummins felt the price should not be set so low tha� an inadequate City Hall is con�tructed, and he didn't want to se� the CounciZ limiting themselves to a basic box. Councilmember Witt felt the square footage should nat be reduced, especialiy in the Police Department. Cauncilmember Cummins commended Mayor Mertensotto for trying to save money but suggested the Council try to shaot for Ayes: 4 Nays: 1, Cummins Ayes: Nays: Ayes: Nays: 5 0 5 0 Page No. 236� January 20, 1987 splitting the difference between the former project cost of $1,550,000 and Mayor Mertensotto's suggested $1,388,500. Mayor Mertensotto stated he would not be willing to bend from his figure.

Morson, Burke, Duggan, nk, Henning, Krebsbach and McMonigal.

'7 Na s: 0 CA E NO. $6 25A, DOBZE SU DIVISZON Chairman Morson called the nceeting to order for the purpose of a public hearing to consider an amended application� fr-a�n Mr. - T,erry Dobie for the Stratford Woads stzbdivision. This�matter had been referred back to the Planning Commi�sian by the City Council. Mr. Dobie was present to briefly explain his request and to discuss two alternate plans proposed at various stages of the planning process. �ne plan shawed a thraugh street that had been presented in September and the other was an alternate cul-de-sac propo�al which had besn presented after the through street plan was denied by �he City Council. Mr: Dobie nated that both plan� closely follow the topagraphy of the site as well. as possible, resulting in minimal disturbance of the land, but that �ill wauld be required in both plans. The cul-de-sac praposal wauld extend Stratford Road by an additional 300 feet and the hammerheaci turnaraund shown in the cul-de-sac plan would be about 400 �'eet in length. Mr. Dobie nated that he much prefers the through street alternate as the continuation of Strat�'ord Raad would pravide a greater degree of cantinuity betw�en the exi�ting Ralling Green subdivision and the Wagenknecht Addition, rather than isolating the neighborhoods, as a cul-de-sac proposal wauld do. He also noted that the net traffic use with a through street wauld have Iittle impact an the Victoria Road traffic and he would be willing to keep the barrier on Stratford Road in place until the thraugh street is in place and complete, to help keep traffic off the street. Mr. Dobie also noted that a thraugh street proposal would allaw bett�r access to Marie Park and Mendota School, rather than having the 13 new families in the �ubdivision have their chiidren walk to the park along Victoria Road, which is a County road having no si.dewalks, anly ditches to walk alang. Mr. -1- CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSTON MINUTES, JANUARY 27, 1987 Dabie stated that the thraugh street plan complies with all. the subdivision requirements, and tha cul- de-sac proposal would create overly long cul-de- sacs, He also stated that the cul-de-sac plan results in the �ame number af ].ots as the thraugh street, but that the cul-de-sacs would be overly long and there would be mare constructian tra�fic generated on Strat�ord Road with a cul-de-sac. Mr. Dobie felt that the marketability of the lots, whether the development is a through street or cul- de-sac, is not a big factor in the plat development. He al�o stated that the thraugh street plan would be mare costly for him to develop, but that he is not proposing any other plan than the two presented this evening. He also nated that he was unable ta work aut a trade with Mr. Thomas Fee �or additional land for the triangular shaped Lot l. There were no questions from the Commission members, but Chairman Morsan asked Planner DahZgren to explain the purpase of a cul-de-sac and how the length af one was arrived at. Planner Dahlgren responded that the purpose of a cul-de-sac is to gain access to a portion o�' an area where access could not o�herwise be provided, and he noted that the maxi.mum length af a cu7.-de-sac is set at 500 feet. He alsa felt that the amount of traffic on Stratford Road if a through street were approved woul.d be insignificant. Chairman Marson asked �'or questions or comments from the audience. Mrs. Mary Roszak, 988 Stratford Road, gave a background fram 1978 when her Iot was originaZly purchased. She noted that her family has not had any problems with emergency services or break-ins. She asked the Commission to continute with the City Council's decision to approve a cul-d�-sac proposal and reject the thraugh street plan. She stated that she felt Mr. Dobie"s cul-de-sac plan is abjectianable and preferred an altered version of the John Voss propasal. Mrs. Raszak noted a plan prepared by Bream Hames in 1984 far develapment of a portion af the sita, excluding the Klingel property, and noted that when Mr. Bream had proposed this plan to staff and Planner Dahlgren, he had received no objections ta Stratford Road remaininc� a cul-de-sac. She a�ked the Commis�ion to be fazr to the neighbor�, for the safety o�' the children's �ake, as they play in the street, even if you don't want them to. She al�o noted that , " ' � . . + Y , r . .r , � �� CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, JANUARY 27, 1987 when her property`'was purchased, the seller told ' her that Stratford Road would not be extended, that � it would remain a cul-de-sac. � Mr. Dobie noted that Mrs. Roszak's proposal of the Voss plan is a hybrid proposal, and had not been discussed previously. He also noted that the�Bream plan had never been submitted to the Planning Commission and that Bjorklund Construction had also looked at developing the site, but said it was too difficult to develop and dropped it. Mr. Dobie noted that last Wednesday he had sent a survey around to the neighbors in the area who were not opposed to the through street plan and he had received 16 positive responses to the through street plan. Commissioner Krebsbach asked about the double cul- de-sac plan €rom the September 23 meeting. Mr. Dobie stated that he objected to the plan as it would create the loss of an additional lot and also created the loss of several mature trees on the site. Mrs. Debbie Fee, 984 Stratford Road, stated that the main reason they bought their lot was because it was at the end of a cul-de-sac. She was not in favor of either of Mr. Dobie's plans. Mr. Dobie added that he called Dakota County to see if any easements were ever filed for the cul-de-sac in Rolling Green and none were ever filed by the developer, Mr. Roger Derrick, nor by anyone else. Mr. Lee Houske, 975 Kay Avenue, agreed with Mr. Dobie's through street proposal. Mrs. Mary Ann Maehren, 986 Stratford Road, objected to the traffic with a through street, and suggested that a walking path be constructed to allow residents to walk to Mendota School. Mr. Virgil McQuay, 976 Kay Avenue, felt that all the talk of excess traffic was just dreaming, and that lots of traffic is just not going to happen. He prefers the through street plan. Mr. Norman Gellerman, 99? Stratford Road, said Stratford Road should not be a cul-de-sac because it would be over 500 feet long, and would prefer a dead-end. Mr. David Smith noted that he had spoken to -�- CITY OF MENDQTA HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, JANUARY 27, 1987 develc�per Howard Bream and that Mr, Bream tald hirrt that a through street was not financially feasible, that a cul-de-sac wauld be the best look fc�r the area, and he discantinued his plan because he had a better place to put his money. Mr. Robert Klingel, I931 South Victoria Road,�owner of Lots 4, 5, 6, and 8, added that the Bream praposai did not invalve his property. Planner Dahlgren spoke regarding the Bream plan and stated that neither he nar Public Works Directar Danielsan wauld have ever endorsed his plan leaving 5tratford Road as a dead-end or cul-de-sac, and �hat is probably why the p],an never went anywhere. Mr. Rabert Lockwaod, 2 Hingham Circle, speaking a� a private citizen, �poke addressing the lang range affect of the proposal on the ta�ayers. He added that he is opposed to a dead-end propasal and to any plan that would create two cul-de-sacs. He �elt it woul.d be best to go with a thraugh street plan. He noted that cul-de-sacs are not in the City's best interest due to their expensive maintenance costs. He also stated that he is interested i.n this property and does not like the ingressjegress restricted to the site. He also felt that a cul-de-�ac does not have the canvenience af a thraugh street regarding seal coating purposes or special. snow p3.owing measures. He felt that a cul-de-sac creates an awkward, wasteful utiiity easement, when the uti.lity easement should be put in �he street where it be3ongs. He added that the developer would have to Zeave a 40-45 foot wide permanent easement an it with the cul-de-sac praposal, and tha� the ea�ement wauld remain on the pro�erty long after the residents who may want xt there are gane, and then who waul.d maintain the easement. He noted there cauld be a prablem with securit� far eznerganey measure� and asked how the Commission could deliberately create a potential hazard by blocking off the area with a cul-de-sac, espec3.ally in the event o� an air cra�h or some ather type af emergency where rescue methods cauld be hantpered. He also noted that short cul-de-sacs are not immune to fires and noted ather cases in the City invo].ving fires and cul-de-sacs and the hampered efforts of the fire department due to reaching the reszdences invalved, Mr. Lockwood's Zast paint of concern was over the potential legal ].iabilit� of the City if the Commission appraved the creata.on of the cul-de-�ac proposal and a legal action was commenced in the event of a high lass fire at the Aye : ?

He gave an example of �he City being held liable in the case of the accident on Lake Drive a few years ago and nated thai� the City was held liable because the road was improperly maintained and felt that there would be a potentia2 for creating anather lawsuit in the event af a�'ire and the fire department could��not reach a residence in time due to the length of the cul-de-�ac. Mr. Gellerman asked if this cuZ-de-sac would be the only one in the City to be longer than 500 feet. Mr. Dobie noted that Mr. Voss's plan would create two unbuildable lots b�cause they would be undersized and tha� there would be one lass lat in the development using Voss's cul-de-sac plan, He also stated that Planner Dahlgrea's Plan #2 would create Lot 8 with an 85 foot frontage and there would also be a problem getting utilities from Stratford Road to the cul-de-sac, and the cul-de- sac would be e�cessively lang. Mr. Gell.erman asked if the Cammissian approve� the cul-de-�ac plan, can Mr. Dobie live with the plat. Commissioner Krebsbach asked if Mr. Dobie had planned any modifications to Lat 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, noting that the Cammissian, when they had given approval originally, had placed a one year moratarium on the sa3.e of Lat 1, Block l, to give Mr. Dobie time to adjust the lot lines.

Many of the neighbors were present and in total agreement with the Cachrane proposal.

City Administrator ./ � SU JECT: Participation in Metro East Economic Development Effort At the meeting of December 2, I brought before the Co ncil the attached invitation from the St. Paul Area Ch mber of Commerce to participate in the St. Paul East Metro Ec nomic Development Council�. We deferred making a decision un il a decision had been made by the City of Eagan, and we ha held our developer meeting in early January. As you can see from other attachments, the City of Eagan ha decided not to participate at this time. Although the • su ject of the East Metro effort was not part of the agenda fo the January meeting with developers, I have not been co tacted by any of our area developers expressing an in erest or promoting the Economic East effort. It would be my recommendation that we decline to pa ticipate financially at this time,.but offering to provide re sonable information as requested, per the letter of No ember 18, 1986, to Mayor Bob Lockwood from James A. St lpestad. ON REQUIRED: If Council concurs with this recommendation, I will send su h a letter, and no further Council action is required. :madlr attlachments CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO Noveraber 24, 1986 TO: Mayor & City Councii � FR(7M : Kev in D. �� z � City A is �ator SUBJECT: Reguest for Participation in St. Paul East Metro Economic Development Cauncil Attac:t�d is a letter f'rom the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce,requesting our participation in the St, Paul East Metro Economic Development Council. I bela.eve I have previausly reported in the "Friday News" about the effort of city planners in Ramsey, Washington, and Dakota Counties to create an umbrella organization to pramote econamzc development activities in the eastern part of the metropalitan area. As you can see from the attached, the area chambers of commerce have also gotten inva.Ived. Although Mendota Hei.ghts has always thought of itself as a St. Paul suburb, the opening of Snterstate 494 has linked aur industrial area to the Bloomington strip and ather parts of the t�western" znetropol.itan area. In fact, many oi the developers and landowners in Mendata Heights and Eagan are promoting this area as an extension of the Bloomington strip. The City of Eagan has decided to dacline participation i.n the Metro East praject untiZ it has had an apportunity to meet and discuss it with their major developers. Our Chamber of Commerce will be hasting a meeting �'or developers in late January or early February for the purpose oE getting their input a� to whe�ther jaining in a St. Pauljeastern atetropolitan area effort would hamper their marketing ai our industrial areas. Chamber Director Bi11 Esaher tells me that United Properties would be involved in this conference, and I have asked him ta also invite Yorkton Ltd. (Larry' Lee} . RECOMMENDATION: It wou7.d be my recommendation that, like Eagan, tae pastpone any commitment ta participate until the meeting with developers has tak�n pl.ace. If Cauncil concurs, I will so infarm Mr. Stolpestad at the St. Paul Area Chamber oE Commerce of the course we will be following. � ACTION REQUIRED: To direct sta�f on Council's preferred caurse af actian an this matter.

This property is now proposed to be c#eveloped as one lot by Mr. and Mrs. Cochrane who have had plans prepared by Tom Stahl, Architect. Attached are copies af those plans and a statement outlining their proposal. On several occasions, the staff has reviewed this development proposal with the architeci and the Cochranes. We have encouraged them ta move the home as far back as possible. This has been done toward the sout€�westerly part of the home. This site is obviausly adequaie for the home, However, the addition of the tennis court creates �a restriction on the siting of the home so that the structure infringes on the required 4� fooG setback from the top of the bluff. As you wi11 recaii, ane af the principal ingredienis of the Criticai Area Regulations is the requirement that a structure be setback 40 feet from the bluff 1ine. The bluff iine is described as that �oint on a hillside overlooking the river valley where the slope becomes 40 percent or greater. You will note on the attached site plan that the bluff line is indicated on Mr. StahI's drawing, running at an elevation of approximately 908� feet. You will note on the site plan that the distances from this bluff line to various portions of the siructure generally vary from 20 feet ta 28 feet. These distances are similar to variances granted for previous structures cantiguous to this wooded bluff line. The principal condition that makes this proposal at all reasonable is the fact that the biuff itself is covered with mature tree grawth. This, of course, has been a condition that relate to other properties wherein JOHN ANO CAROLYN COCHRANE BLUFF LINE VARIANCE PAGE 2 ' these variances have previously been granted. These trees approximate 30 to 50 feet in height and extend continuously from the bluff to the southeasterly right-of-way of Trunk Highway 13, approximately 400 feet to the northwest. 4. It would be appropriate for each of you to visit the site to view these site conditions. Iri the wintertime when the leaves are off the trees this structure will be visible to a larger degree. Thus, the color of the exterior material will make some difference as to its impact upon tT�e landscape. It should be borne in mi�d that the overall purpose of the Critical Area Regulations is to preserve the amenity of the river valley, limiting the imposition of manmade structures on the river corridor. Obviously, as one views the corridor from the river in the vicinity of Lilydale, the impact of the condominium structures in this area are overwhelming. , 0 Ja ��.`t��A ``` r � nuary 21 , 1 987 ` �1'� �� .

ZCkNTS. John and Carolyn Cochrane, 1911 Bayard Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota. ,. The applicants wish to builri a new home at 1$19 Hunter t.�an�, the intersection af Orchard Plane and Hunter ►�ane. The �ro erty, consisting of about two acres, runs from Orchard Place ann Hunter L ane at �he easterly front ann goes all the way riown the bluff westerly �o Fiighway 13. Approximately 1.l3 of the lot is bove the bluff, and �he rest runs down the slope abaut 6{}0 fee to the highway. The pragerty has a pecu3.iar, triangular shape, very narrow at the street from (Hunter L ane) and wide at the rear of the lot (Highway 13). The widest par� of buildable part af �he property is paralle]. to the bluff line. This portion of t e lot is flat. The access to the street (Hunter Lane), i�s by a lang corr'dor, approximately 90 f'eet long. The corridor, 3p feet wide, is �he only frantage along the street.� Because af this �.ong carridor, most of the lot is not visible from the street( Hunter L There is a house currently on �he property whi�h the owne s will remove to make way far a new home whieh will substan- tial y upgrade the property. The applicants wish to riev�lop this unique si�e into a two tory single family home of approximately 4,000 square fee�, �" a 3 ar gara�e, a tennis court, a formal front yard garrien with gaze o, ana a driveway to service the property. _. _._ . � ' � arrow ' The best design far the home in arder to capture the unique aspect of this aite would be a curvilinear design that parallels the bluff line, maximizing the view from each room. The areas to be nevelaped into tennis courts and driveway are � intentionally directed away from the bluff line towarn �he � easterly portion af the lat. In order to develop the site incor- porating all the design e�ements deseribed, partion� of the home neea ta be glaced clo�er to the bluff line than is allowed by th� ordinance. Because of the curve af the bluff and because the slope descenas at different de�rees in places, the set back nimensions will vary. The home will be built upon the flat por- tion of the lat and will not encroach u�on the bluff or the slope. Existing mature �rees and shubbery along and near the bluff line and alang the nor�h and south property line will be preserved. The applicants believa that the triangular shape af this property makes it unique ann at �he same time riifficult. A variance is neces�ary in arder to.nevelop this property to its hi�hest ann best use ann in arder to secure the rights that are enjoyed by other property owners in the same general neighborhoon. The agplicants believe tha� the granting of the variance would nat be cantrary to the pub�ic interest, damage the rights �. of ather persons, damage praperty values in the neighborhood, ar have any ariverse impact upon the river bluff. The property riirectly southwest�of the applicants' lot has a house situated �� fif een fest from the bluff line. A hame ta the nartheast was rec ntl.y grantea a variance al3owing a house to be built twenty fee fram the bluff line. The aoplicants believe that the requ�st for a variance . is easanable anri is made necessary by the uniqueness of the pro- per y.

Mayor, City Council, and City zn,��ator John P. Maczko, Fire Chief Bid Award for New 2250GPM Pumper Y: On December 16, 1986, Pat Knight and I appeared befare ncil ta ask for approval af s�ecifications for a new 1250 per for the Mendota Heigfi�s Fire Department. As you are aware, specifications were�appraved and a bid opening was set for 0 P.M. Jantzary 26, 1987. Specificatians were sent to seven e apparatus manufacturers that we felt cau3d build the aratus we specified, and �our manufacturers picked up the cificatians after it was advertised. On January 16, bids were ned at 2:00 P.M. Three manufacturers respanded, Grumman rgency, Mack Truck, and Custom Fire. Of the three that ponded, only one wished to bid on the apparatus and this was tom Fire Apparatus, of Osceola, Wisconsin. Their base bid was 7,635. Alternate A, the Jacob brake, was $1650. Alternate B, air canditioning, was $1300. DI$CUSSION: The Truck Commi.ttee met on Monday, January 19, ta evaluate th single bid that was received to see if it met specificatians. We were a little concerned abut receiving one bid, but after re iewing the specifications, we did not feel that the �p cificatians were proprietary to one manufacturer. During the ti e that we were accepting bids, we had no inquiries or questions �r m any af the eleven manufacturers pertaining to the sp cifications. Since this was a closed bid pracess, we feel that �h City did get the best possible price from the campany that bid th's equipment. � wit the Hei mai Sa On Friday, January 23, the Committee met with Mr. Jim ida, owner of Custom Fire Apparatus. Custom Fire Apparatus is ry reputable dealer and has manufactured fire apparatus for zngs, Cottage Grove, St. Paul, Edina, an�d many ather fire rtments. They are also currently zn the process of inerging General Safety Apparatus. General Safety has manu�'actured last three pum�ers that have been purchased by Mendota hts, all of which have been excellent pieces af equipment and tenance costs have been low. Jim Kirvida is the son of Mitch Kirvida, the owner of General y. Custom Fire Apparatus is located 50 miles north of the cities. Mr. Kirvida will be pres�nt to answer any questians that the Council may have. As part of the proposal review, the Truck Committee alsa evaluated needs of Alternates A and B. A�ter aur review, we feel that Alternate A, the Jacob Brake, is �ot necessary, but that the Alternate B, air conditioning, is justified for the fallawing reasons, First, with the air aonditioner option we can also get a larger heater since the air conditianer cames with a 4b,000 BTU heater. Second, OSHA regulatians require that the interior noise levels inside the cab area average 8& Dba. It is ngt pos�ib�e for this apparatus to meet those standards with the windows open, thus the windows must be kept rolled up while we are responding ta a fire scene. This can ereate an uncamfartable atmosphere during warm weather. Third, �robabl� the most important reason for austificatian af the air cond�tionert is for the camfort and safety af the firefighter� at a fire. There are time� during the summer manths when the tem�erature reaches extremely dangerous 2evels while enqaging in firefighting activities. xeat stress and exhaustion become a factor in �ighting these fire�. We have been called and requested far standby for gas leaks, pawer lines down, and conditions have not been such that windows could be open. There have been occasions in the past when it would have been nice to qet the men in out of the h�at and give them some re�ief due to the stress and heat of fighting fires. Some prime examples af when air canditioning would.have been needed had they occurred in the summer months are the Standard Oil Station fire, Christmas Eve 1985, the Contel fire in December, 1985, and more recently, the Country Club Warehause fire. All three of these �ires and some others not on as large a'scale, would a11 have required that we get the men in out of the warm weather and cooled down. The cab style that has been specified is big anough that it makes it beneficial to have air conditioning in�talled in this truck. RECOMMENDATTON: It is the recommendation of the Truck Committee of the Mendota Heights Fire Department, that the City CotznciZ award the bid for the bui2din� of the new pumper ta Custom Fire Apparatus, of Osceola, Wiscons�.n. We would also like to recommend that �ption B, the air conditioning, be included w.ith this bid. This would brinc� a total bid award ta $248,935. It should be noted that this i� the cast af the apparatus alone and does not include equi,p�nent. This ec�uipment will be purchased under separate procurement� and w�.li nat exceed the budgeted $265,000 amaunt. ACTIC}N REQUIRED: If the City Council so agrees with the recommendation of the Truck Committee and the members af the Mendata Heights Fire Department, Council shauld pas� a motion awarding the bid to Custam Fire Apparatus, of Osceola, Wisconsinj for a basic bid price of $147,635, and Alternate B, the aa.r conditioning, for a bid price of $1,344. 0 Up �i It GITY OF MEND�TA HEIGHTS MEMO RY 29, 1987 Mayor, City Council, and City A i��tor Jahn Maczko, Fire Chief Manthly Report It has come to my attention that the Council has s�ome cerns abaut the heading "Medicals" in our manthly report. until a year ago, it is true that anything that the Fire artrnent respanded to that was not a fire call and was ical related was classified under Rescue. While preparing 1985 Annual Report last year, it was noticed that the e department was responding to a number of calls that lly did not �i� into the braad classification af Rescue. was in doing the I985 ,Annual Repart that I broke Rescue ls into two classifications, Rescue and Medicals. I defined Rescues as any call in which the fire de artment is required ta provide some specialized piece of e ipment such as ladders, r�pes, the �aws of life, or sorne at er specialized means of getting a person out of a si uation. In these situations, the fire department has co plete control af the rescue operations. is di at ta di L sta whi dis heZ Medical calls were defined as any call in whzch the fire artment responds to for assistance in which the situation medical related and mu�t be handled by the paramedics. In se cases, the paramedics have camplete control of the ne, aur current respanse policy to medicals is that the ing of our department for assistance is left up to the cretion of the dispatcher and the police officer on duty the time of the emergency call. The decision an whether call the fire department or not is based on facts that the patcher receives from the caller. An example af a cail in ch the fire department wouZd prabably be dispatched is a �irmed fu11 arrest. _ , It is not my intentian for the fire department to start anding to all kinds of inedical calls, especiaily when you ider that we have very capable polzce officers on the et and the fact that Divine Redeemer Ambulance is ioned at our fire station. There are times, however, in h our services are needed, such as in confirmed full sts and times when the Divine Redeemer Ambulance may be a ance away or the police o�ficer feels that he may need in the meantime. In these instances the police afficers are encouraged ta call us �ar our assistance. This system has been in place for over a year now, and has seemed to work out very well from m� viewpoint. Since both the police de�artment and the fire department are public safety oriented, it is impera�ive that we work tagether. Since it is inevitable that we are going to be called to calls that not really clas�ified a� Rescues, 2 feel that we •should keep the classification Medica2s in the manthly report. This method just provides a better classificatian o� the actual type of calls that the fire department is responding to. If you have any questions or any further concerns, please do not hesi�ate to ask. JPM:madlr m J CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS ' MEMO 28, 1987 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Ay��'�n�ii��afor ✓ FR .

At this time a request was made and approved for a reduction in parking space width. You will recall that this structure is designed and praposed to be built for Cray Research. Attached is a reduced capy of the site plan and a perspective of the proposad struciure, This �]l331tJiR� represents the first in what we hope will be a series of multistoried affice buildings in the City of Mendota Heights. As these struciures evolve, it= is hopad that it will represent 'more intensive and efficient use of the land, as compared to the primarily singlestoried structures developed in the Mendota Heights industrial area. The original site plan prepared for this structure (as reviewed Planning Commission and Council} places this structure within 20 the north property line (side, lot line). The zaning ordinance district requires the setback to be 3Q feet. This produces a space between structures. The question is whether or not the between structures is essential or desirable. In most industrial in ihe Metropaliian Area, a 20 foot space is required, providing efficient use of the land. ' by the feet of in this 60 foot 60 feet districts a mare The space required in our single-family zone is a total of 20 feet, achieved by requiring a 10 foot setback ior each structure contiguaus to the side lot. The height limitation is 2S feet. In ihe 8-2 zone, the side yard setback is IS feet with a height limitation of 3 stories. As noted, the side yard setback and the industriaf zane is currently 30 feet with a height limitation af �5 feet. UP�lITED PROPERTIES SIDE YARC? VARIANCE PAGE 2 3. As the prime industrial land continues to develop in Mendota Heights now that the freeway system is complete, it is important ta the City that the land be used carefuily. The preparatian of this site plan indicates that there is a. questi�n as io whether or not ihe 30 foot setback required in the industrial district is in the City's overall best interest. We suggest that a 2(l foot setback will be appropriate, resulting in a more efficienC, desirable use of• developable land in the industrial zone. . 4. A series of possible changes are contemplated in the zoning ardinar�ce based on the suggestions and concerns expressed by merxzbers of the Pianning Commission and Council at a recent joint meeting. We may wish ta consider adjustments in the side yard setback far structures greater than 45 feet. S. In the meantime, it would appear appropriate to consider the variance to reduce the 30 ,f.aot setback to 20 feet for the ctrrrent propasai. The currently proposed structiare �is �t0 - feet in. height. The propased development could, of course, be redesigned to accommadate the current 30 foat requirerz�ent. Hawever, if the Planning Commission and Gouncil fee! that the 3Q foot requirement is excessive, it would be appropriate to consider the variance based on the possible reconsideration af the requirement. , Applicant Name: Case No. 87' Q�- CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA . _ APPLICATION FOR CONSIDERATION OF PLANNING REQUEST Date of Application 1/2/87 - Fee Paid $ lnn _ nn w.

Officer SUBJECT: Uni�.ed Properties Variance Case No. $6-40 DISCUSSION• The City Planner and staff recently met with Dale Glowa and Bruce Palmer of tTnited Proper�Cies to discuss the canstruction of a new three stary affice building to be located at the northeas� corner of Enterprise Drive and Narthiand Drive. The groposed building is to be the new ha�ne office far their sister company Narthland Insurance Company. Northland Insurance is gresently located in the Kamm Building in dawntawn St. Paul. Dale and Bruce were in to discuss the gossibility of the City granting variances to the parking requirements. United Properties has much experz- ence in parking lo� design and feels that an adequate parking lo�C de�ign for this new facility would be four spaces per 1000 square feet of usable building area and $'6" stall widths (see attached letter of,explanation). The City has previausly granted United Properties this same request for the Cray site which is lacated directly across the street. Staff can forsee no problems associated with again granting these variances in this instance. We should loak at amending �he City Ordinance ta allow for faur spaces per 1000 and 8'6" stall widths when updating Che ordinance this summer. ACTION REQUIRED: Review th� praposed variances with the applicant and make a recommenda- tion to the City Council on whether to grant a one space per 1000 parking stall.'ra�ia variance and 6" �arking space width variance. P ANNING REPORT D TE: C SE NUMBER: A PLICANT: L CATI(JN: A TION REQUESTED; P ANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1S December 1986 c« � United Properties Northland Executive Office Center Northeast Cornsr of Northland Drive and Enterprise Boulevard Varianee to Parking Stall Size and Number of Parking Spaces United Properties proposes to construet yet another new structure in their rapidly developing business center in Mendota Heights at the nartheast corner of Northland Drive and Enterprise Boulevard. This structure would be a three story brick affice building to accommodate Northland Insurance Company now housed in the Hamm Building in downtown St. Paui. Attached is a copy of a staiement from United Properties, a capy of a recent research � article on parking accommodations, and copies of drawings illustrating the proposed development. Firstly, United Properties is requesting a variance from the currently required 9' wide parking space to 8'-b". Yau will note in ihe United Properties written statement a listing of a series of ma jar affice deveiopments that they have consiructed in ihe Metropalitan Rrea, each of which is developed with S'-6" wide parking spaces. It has been our experience tfiat in major office development within the last five years that the 8'-b" wide spacing has been used frequently, Two years aga the parking lot at Rosedale was re-striped to 8'-6" and we have found that ihis spacing works even far consumer retail shapper parking. , You will reeall that the 8'-6" wide spaci�g was used for tFte recentiy completed Cray Research Building by United Properties on a nearby site in the Mendota Heights Business Center. The bottom line on the parking space width is that we suggest that the 8'-6" spacing is appropriate in view of the approximate 50 percent use of compact cars in this country today. You will notice from the attached research furnished by United Properties that this reduced vehicle size for design purposes continues to increase in proportion of use in this country. � NQRTHLAND EXECUTIVE OFFICE CENTER PAGE 2 6. The other variance relates to the number of parking spaces. The overall building area is 63,346 square feet. However, you will note that on page 2 of their submitted data sheet that the net square faotage - exclusive of corridors, restroams, storage areas, etc, - approximates 42,492 square feet. 7. The ordinance states that far purpases af ineasuring parking requirements in Section 18.1(2)b, on page 76 that "Floar Area - The term 'floor area' for the purpose of calculating the nurnber of off-street parking spaces required shall be the net usable floor area of the various floars, devoted to retail sales, services, office space, processing and fabrication, exclusive of hallways, uiility space, and starage areas other than warehousing." From that definition, it would appear that the 42,492 square feei appraximates the net reiail area closer than the 63,346 square feet. Yau will note that the parking provided is for 266 spaces. A ratio of S spaces per 1,0(l0 (or 1 per 200 square feet as noted in the ordinance} would accommodate a net area of 53,000 square feet. Thus, it would appear that the variance is not real'ly required except if ti�e building were to be drasiically changed and re-designed. 8. In any case, it would appear appropriate ia canfirm Che spaces pravided by approving a variance for 266 sp�ces, with the provision that if additional parking spaces are needed, an additional 28 spaces may be added if required by the City to do sa, Twenty eight spaces can be accommodated within the landscaped space directly east of the structure in the center af the site. It would appear likely, however, that the need far such additional spaces will likely never materialize. 9. A review of the propased development design suggests that the structure wii! constitute a handsome addition to the rapidly evolving history , af development success at the Mendota Heights Business Center. t11� tTED P�QPEf�T[ ES Dec�ember 8, 1986 Mr. Kevin Frazell Ci y Administrator Ci y of Mendota Heights 75 South Plaza Drive Me dota Heights, Minnesota 55120 RE:INorthland Insurance Company Building Parking Variance Request Dealr Kevin: oa� Qo�o WRITER'S DIRECT LINE Th following is to request a parking variance for the above referenced property for 8'-6" wic7e parking spaces instead of 9' as currently called for in the zoning ordinance of Mendota Heights, and a ratio of 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of usable area instead of 5 per 1,000 as required by said zoning ordinance. You previously granted a similar request to us for the recently com leted Cray Research building. With the national tendency toward smaller sized automobiles, we have found the 8'-6" parking space width to be more than adequate. The following is a list of rec nt c3evelopments by United Properties that use 8'-6" parking space widths: Pro�ect/ Loc tion Nor hland Plaza SE -494/France Ave. Blo mington Nor hland Executive 0 fice Center SE -494/France Ave. Blo mington � Sou hpoint Office C nter Phase III NW -35W/82nd Street Blo mington SFNRA 297,000 SF 400,941 SF 258,000 SF Number of Spaces 1,042 1,704 1,043 Spaces/ 1,000 SF 3.51 3.86 9.04 Executive Office Center/3500 West 80th Street/Minneapolis, Minnesota 55431/(612) 831-1000 • Mr .I Kevin Frazell Pag e Two De ember 8, 1986 Valley Square orporate Center Hwy. 55/Rhode Island Dr. Gol en Valley Metro Place Phase II Edi a lnterchange Park Ed i a 81,300 SF 40,647 SF The above properties are a sampling of out the metro area where we have been spa ing. This is also commonplace in nationally (see enclosure). 337 145 properties located given approval to us several metropolitan 4.14 3.57 through- e 8'-6" areas The chart above also indicates that our recent office developments ave age 3.5-4.0 per 1,000 parking spaces. In contrast, your city ord'nance requires 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet (1 space/200 SF). In ur opinion, a 5/1,000 parking ratio requirement for office spa e is an outdated rule of thumb. Our experience clearly ind'cates that a 4/1,000 SF ratio is more than ac]equate for general off'ce buildings and with the rising cost of land values, it allows a d veloper to more efficiently use the land by creating more bui ding area and landscaped area instead of parking spaces that wil not be used. Insurance companies traditionally use the most amo nt of parking due to their high clerical employee requirements. How ver, the Northland Insurance Company, who will entirely occupy the referenced building, currently has 170 employees, with a 10- ear growth projection indicating 230 employees. The subject pre ises provide 237 surface parking spaces and approximately 29 gar ge spaces in the basement for a total of 266 spaces. In add tion to this, we could convert a landscaped promenaae area in the middle of the parking area to 28 additional parking spaces if eve neec3ed . The subject premises are 63,346 SFNRA. If the variance request is app oved, a 4/1,000 parking ratio would require 254 parking spaces, cle rly within the 266 provided. It should be noted, however, that onl 42,992 square feet of the 63,346 SF are usable. The ac7d tional 20,000 SF are taken in the form of atriums, reception are s, corridors and restrooms, computer rooms, storage, supplies, caf teria/lunchroom, anc3 conference rooms. If ineasured on a usable bas s, no parking variance is required to meet the current req irements of the City. However, since it is always possible for a t nant's space requirements to change or even vacate the bui ding, we would appreciate having the maximum flexibility to dea with any such changes. Mr . Pag Dec Kevin Frazell � Three �mber 8, 1986 A c uple of other key points relative to Northlancl Insurance Com any's needs are that approximately 30 employees have already ind'cated that they will use MTC's public transportation from dow town St. Paul. The president of the company has also indicated to s that car pooling will be provided by the company to those int rested. The efore, we would appreciate your approval of our request. We wel ome you to visit any of the properties listed above to see how wel the parking works. Yau s truly, /� � � �/ " �"l�t' l'/ Dal J.

L. Polk Com;�any �yere tabulated. � sno��n ::� :� � o.. .a� � in Table 1, there has been a dramatic increase in small car sales particularly in the period 1977 to 1962. 1463 sales figures indicate that the ratio of small and large cars among new vehicles in the 1983 model year was ab�ut equal, i.e. 50°b/50°,6. fn 1984, small car sales rebounded to SS°r� due largel�� to the discontinuance of several large models, and the introduaion of more compact model lines. It can ther� fore be concluded that as vehicles from the oloer mooel years, which are predominantl�� (over 75ro) standard cars, are retired from service, at least half of the ne�� vehicles coming into service are small cars. Therefore, the percent- a�te of small cars on the road will continue to increase. Using the Automotive Nevvs and R. L. Polk oara, WALKER projened that small cars as previously discussed account for 36°ro of all vehicles on the road from model years 1970-1984. Data from pr�1970 mooel yean was neglected since they account for a relatively small portion of the current population. The data base indicates that, H�ith a levelins off of the ratio of small cars in new vehide sales at 50ro, the percen;age of small cars from all mooel yean on the road will increase at about 2°k per year. Based on this rate of escalation, the population will reach 40°ro by early 198i and �0°o in the eariy 1°90's. lt seems fiighly likely, however, that external forces such as intemational oil supplies may again signii- icantly impact and oisrup: an�� smootn transition to smaller cars. Thereiore tnese predicitons are provioed merely for information. Tnese projections of small car population are somewhat more conservative t'r,an those used b��the auto and pari:ing inoustryiora number ofyears. Some oiscreDancies are due to tne selection of tne cut-or poinu between compar and s:andard car�.

IN 1986, the Police Department �,ras required to generate over 2,000 written reports. In addition, we prepared a large amount of business correspondence including letters, memorandums, outlines, policies, etc. The flow for those reports is typically: r records 3t the sc? W'F�en timE is a5�ailablE, r�at� arE vrri#t�n in reE�art forrnat SEcretar�� or clerk #UF'E$ report off of handwritten cnE�y . � � . � �rlriter- corrPcts and re-subrnits �hief re�riews ever�� r?por# and appru��?s or sends it hack for revisi�n Report is okay for rautina or disseminati�n The problems that we experience from this system are numerous: Reports - Reports that are written out by officers are extremely difficult to decipher. They are often written "on the fly" and tt�e clerical people r have a tough time reading, and then typing them. Reports that leave our ot�'ice (to insurance companies, attorneys, court, other agencies, etc.) must be typed. if there is a mistake in the transition, even a slight mistake, it may mean a world of difference later. We recently jeapordized a DWI case by the misinterpretation of a three word phrase. Statements - One of the most important pieces of evidence, a witness, victim or suspect statement must be accurate and faithful to the original. With our present equipment, we are taking statements with a small handheld recorder with an attached microphone. The sound quality is poor and the effort required to transcribe the statements is enormous. Recorded telephone statements relating to the Country Club fire were taken by Fire Marshall Kaiser and transcribed by Carol Bakka. The quality of the recording was so poor that the typed version took over an hour and several portions had to be deleted. In some cases there is only one opportunity to capture information, if the opportunity is lost, the information is lost. Transcribed Reports - We now use the small portable equipment for recording officer's reports, statements, telephone conversations and correspondence. In the past three months we have lost items due to battery failure in the recorder and physical damage to the tapes. With our present system, the tapes are handled several times during the recording and transcribing and battery failure in a recor.der is not detected until someone tries to transcribe the tapes. ALTERNATIVE We are proposing a Dictaphone MVP II System. The attached information pretty much describes the system and it appears to be an excellent answer __ to the prob)ems discussed above. A desktop transcription station � containing two tapes each would be located on Carol and Becky's desks. Four dictation stations would be located in the following locations; the chief's office, the investigator's office, the sergeants office and the squad room. Each station is similar to a telephone set with four buttons that send the recording to one of the four tapes in the two transcriber stations. Before an officer records, he/she designates which transcriber the message should go to, and the rp iori�, of that message. (On a typical Monday morning there may be S or more taped reports. If any of them are reports of a serious nature, we have until noon to have all of the reports completed and delivered to the County Attorney's office in Hastings.) When Caroi and Becky get to work, they wiil turn on their transcribers and information will be displayed that will teii them how many seperate recordings are stored, how many of them have a priority attached and how many lines of typing must be done. When they are ready to type, the transcriber will feed thern the inforrnation in order of priority. ' The system is versatile and portable, and could be wired into the phone system at the new City Hall if the need arises. During the lease period we will test and evaluate it, but our research indicates that it is very well suited to our needs. The MVPII system is in operation in Lakeville and Chief Radermacher is very pleasetl with it. Installation is going on in Farmington and Burnsvilie and Apple Valley are also looking at the system. Recommendation That Council authorize the expenditure of $3,964. for the Dictaphone MVPII transcriber system contigent upon satisfactory performance during a one month trial periotl. /., �T'�,}y ,�,..� .,. �,t�'.�J7y ' „� r� �s�""*'�"`1` t s'� �t,$,..ry.,fi .3t a"si.�.�N.��f��`� �C � ,.

The MVP dictation system's multiple voice paths provide the kind of voice processing power and dictation flex- ibility that's right for today's demanding executive. Dictaphone's MVP system is the high efficiency alternative to con- ventional desktop dictation. Advantages of the MVP system: • Let the MVP system separate your dictation automatically. Assign a different work-type to each voice path, for more organized dictation input and improved transcription output. • No cassette handling...recording takes place in the MVP unit on the secretary's desk. • Faster document turn-around. Your first letter could be transcribed before you've dictated your last. With the MVP system, dictation and transcription can proceed simultaneously. • Easy on dictation. Just pick up the hand set from its compact cradle and start dictating. All basic author controls to the MVP system are within easy reach. • Four deck capacity that can be accessed simultaneously through the MVP system's multiple voice paths. If you wish, you can even share the system with other execu- tives in your office. • More than a dictation system. Use the MVP system as a convenient message center. Leave your secretary notes and other important reminders, when in the office or while traveling. • Dedicate any one of the MVP system's voice paths for telephone dictation. You can call anytime, from anywhere, with dictation or to leave messages. • The MVP system is compatible with all Dictaphone microcassette equip- ment. Use the MVP system to transcribe cassettes recorded on your Dictaphone portable recorder. /�l V�TM jj .[L Desktop Dictation System • For fast and efficient transcription control, the MVP system lets your secretary easily monitor the amount of dictation on each deck, make sure priority communications are handled immediately and control work flow through the system. Tailor the MVP dictation system for your type of business, to meet the way you work, when and wherever you work. Executive Communications System The MVP system is designed for con- venient executive communications. While at home, access the MVP system for telephone dictation through a Dictaphone Dictel terminal. While traveling, call directly to the system from any telephone or transmit dicta- tion to the MVP system from any Dictaphone portable recorder. � � Extended Capacity Enhance the MVP system's recording capacity, automatically, for longer continuous in-office dictation, or extended access while out of the office, at night or on weekends. With the MVP optional "Auto- Transfer" feature, after recording 30 minutes of dictation on your first cassette, the system will automatically switch to a second cassette, for a full hour of uninterrupted dictation, while ensuring nothing is lost for • transcription. � .r � •. ;�.; Automatic Work Separatr"on Equip the MVP dictation system with Dictaphone's "computerized" LogiPath�" switching system for auto- matic work type separation. The MVP system with LogiPath switching will automatically assign a number (1, 2, 3) to each deck for any work-type you designate and keep the fourth deck available for extended recording capacity. Access each work-type from you� desk at the touch of a button. They're conveniently labeled on yourdictation terminal for easy identification. You could, for example, assign channel #1 for internal memos, #2 for messages and #3 for special reporfs...the choices are unlimited. �. Transcription Flexibility Tailor the MVP system to fit your transcription needs, keep work load under control and speed output. Transcribe directly from the MVP system, without touching:a cassette. Even transcribe from other secretarial locations with a Thought Tank recorder remote transcription terminal or any Dictaphone micro- cassette desktop transcription unit. The MVP dictation system. The dictation system designed for executives and their secr:_etaries and 3 d,. the way they work b.est together. �J L �i Dictaphone A Pitney Bowes Company 120 Old Post Road Rye, New York 105a0 • ws. �`� ' . , DICTAPNONE",Dictel' Though�Tank"�andMVParetrademarks , '�t• ol D�claphone Corporauon, Rye, New Yak ��: `� '�i _ � � � � : t�� s} y'. • '�4� "�7 ,�,�; �'qjr-,�,d�' ^sJ'` e.r`'ry,' F r - . . . . . . a�,'��'�� '� 'r F �!� ��Yr� a r L � . � .�! h � -, i r } '�t� .� A, t r"� . y � :� �, �r �� x�t��,�r,Y�' �` $� 3. � 3, h" � ,� } -. . . . . w .yacy� � ^ ` � �. � � � ' � � � � � � � . t �� ', 44Y",�y 1. ``,s y : � .. . �. - � � . . i'LY, � �: f 5° i_ �'. . . . 3 fi�:r.. ;� �. . . . . . �.�T.,� . . . ,. � ry5 St � i -� .

This will also inform Council n available financing for the proposed computer system and a dictapho e system addressed by Chief Delmont in a separate memo. HISTORY As system n study. in the D the poli When the and we d implemen discuss differen that at budgeted �enny indicated in his memo, the Police Department information eds, including financing, were addressed in the 1985 computer 'ith the exception of a single, networked, computer installed partment last June, implementation of a computer system for e office was deferred to the future for numerous reasons. 1987 budget was prepared Dennis was attending the FBI academy, d not have the opportunity to discuss computer system ation with Denny. Since we did not have the opportunity to ith Denny a timetable for expanding the network or acquiring computer equipment for his department, but yet recognizing ome time in the future equipment should be acquired, we funds in the 1989 capitol equipment budget. INFORMAT][ON Tho: and reco� system t� the Poli� was done whether � needs. l the best his depa: his reco� easier t� and inde� the hard� Administ: �e of us who were involved in development of the computer study �mending acquisition of the system considered expansion of the � provide badly needed information processing capability for :e Department to be a high priority. Part of the reason little to a�commodate the department's needs is that we did not know �r not the IBM ec�i.iipment and software would best support their ienny enumerates several reasons (in his memo) why IBM is not alternative and why a MacIntosh system would be superior for �tment's purposes. We concur, and do not hesitate to support �mendation to purchase Apple equipment. The MacIntosh is far � use and most importantly, can be learned much more quickly �endently than can the IBM system and software. Additionally, �are proposed by Dennis will allow the Police and �ation systems to communicate with each other. -2- The camputer system as praposed by Dennis will reguire financing of approximately $11,000. The proposed dictation system will cost approximately $4,000. There are funds within the 1987 budget which can be reallocated to �rovide financing £or both requests without having ta use Equipment Certificate manies. The proposed funding shift includes the following: Divine Redeemer Ambulance Civii Defense Funds Sale af IBM-XT and printer Engineering Department Unbudgeted fine receipts RECOMMENDATION Funding [3'+: $11,000 500 3,500 1,000 We recommend that Council approve'Chief Delmcint's•.request and authorize acquisition of the camputer equipment described within his memo. It is our opinion that the equipment pra�ased by �ennis is needed and that such a system is the best salutian to the prablem of provid.ing Police Department in�'ormation processing without sacri�icing the sharing of computerized data between departments. ACTItJN REQUIRED If Council concurs in Chief Delmont's request, it should pass a motion to approve the equipment acqu.isition and authorize a reailocatian of funds as described above. .,� C'1 TY OF MENDdTA HE I GHTS CEEC�� January 26, 1987 Ta: Mayor and City Cour�cit City Administrator FROM: Chief of Police SUBJECT: Purchase ofi Police Departme�t Camputer Sy�iem ��i 7� � �� The Police Department would ]ike to use the $1 1,4Q0 originally budgeted, but na ionger needed, for the Divine Redeemer ambulance subsidy to expidite the purchase of a computer system fvr the department. HI STORY: 1n March oP 1985, the City Councii authorized the staff to begin work to develop a city-wide computer system. The repori by Dave McCauley, for a number of reasons, did not completely address ihe Police Deparimeni. T�day, the system is partially in�tailed and the Administratic�n portion Qf it is up and rvnning. After 22,months, the Police Department has one IBM work statifln that is minimally functionai, and further enhancement of our pQrtion of the sysiem is noi scheduled io begin untii the year 1989. This is under- standable as the accaunting funciion c�f the IBM system is the City's number one priority. There are, however, a great number of tasks thai we could be accompiishing if our portion of the system was installed and we were trained to use it. These tasks inciude fiies and reports pertaining ta deparimental ira9ning, Operation !D, administration of the faise alarm ordinance, ma jor case tracking, f]eet and equipment inventory and maintenance, Neighbarhoad Crime Watch fiies, Newsletter preparaiion, stoten and recovered property fiies and annuai report statistics and preparation. #n order to become productive in these areas we need more work stations, exiensive training, data siorage that is availabie but protected, and a combination c�f networking ar�d software that makes it possible €or several �eople to access and modify data. Under the present timetab#e, ihis wili ioi be possibie uniil sometime in 199a. Even when completed, a shared system will still present problems. Storage space, system security, the availability of the Laser printer and other potential liabilities have been discussed. Through this all, we will still be depencient upon the �ati�f�ction of the priorities of the City system. These include the accounting and sewer billing needs. At a recent meeting that included Kevin, Kathy, Larry and Doug Banyon it was agreed that the Police Department would derive little or no benefit from being a part of the City wide system. f 1I[r'��II�Y � . Our proposed alternative wouid allow us to compliment rather than Eomp�t� with th� ov�r�il ;y�t�m: With th� $11,�0� th�t w�� budgeted for the subsidy and approximately $2,000 transferred from Engineering for our pres�nt IBM equipment , we would have more than enough to install an excellent "stand alone" system, and have that system productive in an incredibly short period of time. The system that we have researched wouid include four Apple Macintosh Plus work stations linked to an Apple Laser Writer printer and a hard disc for storage. Using the Appletalk Personal Network and the TOPS utility program we could even communicate with the IBM system if we desired to do so. The advantages of this system are numerous: i. We would have workstations in four seperate locations that would allow several people to access, read and modify files at the same time. � 2. As funds were availabie, we could expand the system to include up to 32 different work stations or peripherals. Additional work stations (Mac Plus computers) are available for less than $1400 each. This would enable us to add the Sergeants and Patrol Officers to the system as they become familiar with it. More storage is available for approximately $900 for 20 megabytes. This kind of expansion does not require boards or software manipulation, it is as easy as plugging in an extension cord. 3. The Laserwriter printer would ailow us to "typeset" our reports, forms, correspondence, Newsletter and presentation graphics in a way that is not now possible. It also would allow us to produce overhead projections as easily as we now print a copy on a duplicating machine. 4. With a"stand alone" system we would eliminate many of our concerns over data security, storage space and "timesharing". r.. . � G� � � . R' S. The Macintosh computer is very easy to learn to use. Some on-site training coupled with the "Mac's" built in tutorial system would allow us to be productive with the Maclntosh in days, not months. The Macintosh is built around a"user friendly" system where ail programs operate in the same basic manner. If you only use a particular application once a year, you do not have to be retrained before you can use it the next time. There is no need for compiicated function keys, muitiple keystroke routines or templates. The unique "point and click" concept makes the equipment so easy to use that I was able to print our first Crime Watch Newsletter with the Macintosh on the second day it was in our office. 6. The development of 1000's of pieces of business software by ali of the major software houses has made the Macintosh a very versatile machine, and the introduction of the Apple IfGS computer, using many of the "Mac" features, demonstrates Apple's commitment to the product. 7. Police Clerk Birch and Police Chief Delmont have used the Macintosh for three years. Police Secretary Bakka has used the IBM for approximately 6 months. I: :►: 1. Cantinue an aur preser�t schedule and wait until 1989 to order IBM equipment as budgeted. ($1 1,900) 2. Use available funds to accelerate our involvement in the City's IBM system. ($1 1,000) 3. Expend up to $13,000 ($1 1,000 subsidy, $2,000 Engineering Dept. transfer) to purchase and install a stand-alone system in the Police Department. �:T �Y11 ►1: 1► We recommend that the Council authorize us to seek quotations on a stand- alone Macintosh system for the Department with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 7 work stations. The system will not exceed the $13,000 available. � ; x i3 � i:; . � ,,,µ- , _,/?�J"" }.,'ry.'1'•S,: ..�^�C�:�:.`:S: ':i�L .

It wi11 cansist of 49 sing e family Iots. The propasecl devel.opment is adjacent to Valley Park and will have an access point to the park. There are several gas nd power lines on the-•.�ite that the developer plans to leave in plac . The developer proposes to canstruct a private fountain and a tenn �/play area as part of the development. These private faci ities will be administered by the home owners associa�.ian. The enti � parcel must b� served by city utilities, and the Zwach and Nels n properties wi1.l be served as a result of this project. The atta hed drawing shows the prapased method af serving the deve opmeant with sanitary sewer, watermain, starm sewer, streets and side walk�. The following is a detailed dz�cus�ian of the costs and fact rs involved with installing each of th� public utilities to serv the proposed devel.apment and the surrounding areas. Approximately 3400 �eet of sanitary sewer pipe wi1.1 be ex�.ended fram Farmdale Road in order to serve the development and surrounding area . There is alsa an exi�ting sanitary mairt alang Wach�.ler Aven e, but it has insuf�icient depth ta serve t�he development, sa the armdale stub is ta be used. To construct the proposed sanitary sewe and sewer services will cast an e�timated $167,950, including over ead, engineering, and contingencies. The developnnent must al�,o be served with city water. Therefare the isting watermain along Wachtler and Farmdale will be extended and laoped through the project. Also, there is an existing 12" trun watermain that lies along the southern property line that must be pa tially relocated. The street alang the southern plat line will ass over some portions of �he trunk watermain, but where the stree begins to curve narth the watermain must be removed and recon truct-ed. The total cost of installing the watermain as shawn on th plans amounts to $135,320. Th�re pand perma devel torm sewer pipe will be required in order to carry the itation run of�' out of the development. When the area is , several small natural holding basins are to be filled in. ore, the site grading includes the construction of a retentian 3ong the back of four 2ots. This retention pond will have a ent water elevation and it will have a fountain that the per proposes to install. 5torm run off will then be rauted h the retention pond then �iowly drain into the existing starm CSTY QF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO sewer along Farmdale Raad. In addition, the southern areas of the site will drain into a storm line that will empty into the creek in Vailey Park. The cast aF constructing the storm sewer as shown an the attached plan� amounts ta $101,800, including engineering, overhead and contingencie�. Tl�e street configuration al].ows for all of the lots in the development to be accessed internally rather than from Wachtler Avenue, and it also creates frontage for the twa properties to the south. The calculated frontage �or the Zwach praperty under the proposed street configuration is 255 feet, and it is possible �or this property to be split into two or three lots, The calaulated frontage af the Nelson praperty is 295 feet, and it is easily possible for the parcel to be split into 3 large lots. Thus, it appear� that the �roposed alignment �erves the �outhern parcels adequately and fazrly. It w.zll be neces�ary ta acquire 7-8' a�' right-of-way from the�e two properties. The to�.al cost of constructing bituminous.streets with concrete curb and gutter a� shown on the attached�drawing, and obtaining the required right-of- way, amounts to $231,090. In addition to the standard public utilities the developer has requested that side walks be installed a� part of this project. Therefare, Staff proposes that a side walk be installed along the outside o� the loop o�' Homestead Drive, the majar street in the project. The totaZ aost oi constructing a 5' wide concrete sidewalk amount� ta $27,30Q. The developer has al.so requested that street Iights be in�talled in the development. The Cit� has several options in regard to street I.ights. If the City includes street lights as part of the project, the cost will range from $30,000 to $60,000, depending how extensive a system the developer requests. I� the City e3.ects nat to install street li.ghts, then the developer can still obtain some street lighting b� having NSP install lamps. In either case, the City would �ot be involved with any af the maintenance or usage costs; the home owner association or home owners themselves wou].d be responsible. The final deci�ion regarding street lights is for Council to decide.

November 12, 1986, the project finall� got started when ncil and the Planning Commission met in workshop to ntify and agree on items to be studied for potential ision. Those items are documented in the attached cklist (a copy of which was previously provided to ncil) . tached is a letter of agreement with Dahlgren et. al. to rform the necessary work. As you can see, the maximum cost r the ordinance review is $4,800 (as compared to $8,500 we iginally budgeted for Fioward's work). The agreement also scusses �reparation of a brochure concerning City mprehensive planning for mass distribution. This was one the ideas that came out of the November 12 workshop. At e writing of this memo, a final printing cost has not been ovided, but will be available by Tuesday evening. S nce the appropriated funds were in the m nies reverted to General Fund balance C uncil will need to rea�propriate those 1 87 budget, and staff will recommend an e ening. M ��:��i7 �� 1986 budget, the on December 31st. monies back to the amount on Tuesda�r I Council wishes to continue with this project, it sYiould p ss a motion approving the contract with Dahlgren et. al. a d reappropriate the necessary funds. � NOTES FROM THE LAND USE WORKSHOP OF NOVEMBER 12, 1986 The purpose of this memo is to document the issues that were identified at the Council/Planning Commission workshop on November 12th. This list will constitute the work program � for the staff as the� proceed to develop draft amendments to the zoning, subdivision, and housing ordinances. These draft amendments will then be the subject of consideration, discussion, and final adoption by the Planning Commission and City Council, after holding the required public hearings. VARIANCES - Routine variances�will� be primarily dealt with by the Planning Commission, then placed on the Council consent calendar. - Written consent from all property owners within 100 ft. will be required, or else a formal public hearing will be held with mailed notice. ZONING CODE - Lot area requirements (particularly side yard) should be related to house size. Floor-area ratio might be one approach. - Review appropriateness for lot size requirements in all Business districts. - Consider requirement for attached garage, except by specific variance. - Look at non-conforming use language in Section 4.3(7) - Look at standards for commercial/industrial building permit review in Section 4.17 - Consider need for elevation requirements for garage/ floor grades. - Consider regulation of alignment of homes on cul-de- sacs. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE _ - Review appropriateness for required submission materials now in ordinance. n c - Reduce cul-de-�ac size requirement. - Consider expression o� policy preference for residential street design that discourages thru traffic, - Delete code requirement that final plats go back to the Planni.ng Gom�nission. - Improve or bolster review of parksfgreen space. � UNIT DEVELaPMENT - Revise definition of net buildable area ta exclude open water, and perhaps ather area �.hat would be otherwise unbuildable. - Require 4/5's vote of the Council where the PUD will change the type af land use Prom that stipul.ated in the underlying zoning. - Consider an optian for the develaper to have a pre-application conference with �he Council, as well as the Planning Cammissian. - Hold public hearing earlier in the process (perhaps sketch plan stage), and cansider earlier CounciZ input. - Amend language, as necessary, to insure PUDs remain a privilege, not a legal right. - Clarify the pracess far amendm�nt� ta Conditional Use Permits, which includ�s PUDs. CRI'II'ICAL AREA REVIEW - Waive iee and allow st�aff approval far minor variances (i.e. previously constructed singl.e- family home tatally in canformance to CAO ordinance standards.) ONAL PUBLIC HEARING ISSUES - Require published notice of public hearing far Conditianal Use permits, as stipulated by State statute.

Sta�'f has cancluded that we ne d a 2ong-range comprehensive strategy far develapment of th's carridor, and is so recommending to Council, DISICUS S ION As late as the time of preparation of the 1979 Camprehensive Pla , Highway 55 was expected to be a limited access roadway. Iia ver, it has� since been designated by the Metropolitan Cou cil as a minor arterial, urban at-grade expressway. Qth r regional planning efforts {i.e. the Gua.delines for Land Use Compatibility with Aircraft Naise) have impacted the are . MnDat cantemplates tzpgrading the area highways via the Men ata Interchange project during the periad of '88 through '91. This improvement, caupled with the eventual upgrading af he Hiawatha Avenue cor�idor will make this part of the pri ary raute between downtown Minneapolis and Roche�ter. At he �ame time, the communityts new accessibili.ty is inc easing developer interest in the vacant land in this cor idor, just as it is in other parts of the City. Sta�'f is can erned that without an updated, comprehensive development str tegy for the area, we could end,up with ane of the hig est visibiiity areas of tawn becaming a mish-mash of unc ordinated land uses.

As a side nate, staff has recei.ved twa cal'ls from Furlong residents over the �aast few weeks, expressing their interest and suppart for see�ng the neighborhood relocated. Most of the pra�erties in question are part of the adopted tax increment district, and consequently, TIF funds cauld be used to pay for the study.

As a result of that review, the advisability of not having a direct rom Trunk Highway 55 to Acacia Boulevard was questioned. Planner Dahlgren hat he felt strongly that it was feasible and advisable to have direct access, e Mn/DOT was requested to do a study. In return, Mn/DOT said that before they art a study they needed some traffic information from the City justif ying it. o said that this information needed to be prepared by a qualif ied traffic con- Traffic studies are expensive and staff felt that if this study was to be major landowners in the area should be the ones to pay. We contacted Garron ion to see if they were interested, they were and they hired Strgar, Roscoe, a wn traffic consultant, to represent them. St gar, Roscoe prepared a cost estimate for completing the report desired by Mn/DOT nd it was extremely high. Mn/DOT then agreed to prepare some information without the report and met with Mayor Lockwood and staff to present their findings. At that meeting it was a concensus of all those present that it was not feasible or advisab e to have direct access from Trunk Highway SS to Acacia Boulevard (see at- tached etter). It was then necessary to meet with the area landowners to present these findir�gs and det rmine if they wanted to pursue any further action. Kevin conducted that meeting last summer, and after learning of Mn/DOT's findings it was concluded by the area la downers, and their traffic consultant, Bob Roscoe, that neither a grade separ- ation n r an at-grade intersection at Acacia Boulevard is feasible. They are now content to let the matter stand as originally presented by Mn/DOT. ION: It�is staff's recommendation to accept Mn/DOT's layout as originally prepared.

It was agreed that direct access would be considered and studied and also that the City r quest the study in writing. No wr tten request was received, however, consideration and study was given to this matte . The decision at that time was that no direct access could be provided. The reasons for no direct access were presented to the City on April 30, 1985 (see confer nce report attached]. Again n May 20, 1986, we were requested to re-evaluate the access issue. This has now b en completed and our position remains unchanged. The following summary lists the deficiencies for an at-grade intersection of T.H. 55 and CSAH 31: a. It would be located at the end of 5°30' curve that would restrict intersection si ht distance. b. It�would be located at the point where westbound T.H. 55 begins to taper from t o lanes into one. An intersection would conflict with the merging traffic. c. T. . 55 would have to be raised to the level of CSAH 31. This would require th EB T.H. 55 grade to be increased. There would be a long upgrade from the M ndota Bridge al) the way to CSAH 31, more than 3000 feet, with an average gr dient of approximately 4 percent. This would be a difficult climb for trucks. An Equal Opportunrty Employer � ; The Honorable Robert Lockwood June 5. (986 Page Two d. There wouid be no direct access from the T.H. t10-T.H. 55-T.H. 13 connection to CSAH 31. This was a requirement of Dakota County. e. The lack of access from the T.H. 110-T.H. 55-T.H. t3 connection would make the formation of Funerat processions for Acacia Cemetery more difficult. The prov'tsion for aff highway funeral processions was an important design feature of this project. f. The CSAH 31 bridge pravides a safer, Inw speed connection acrass T.H. 55 that can be used by pedestrians and bicyctes. !t was a Feature that reduced the division of the community. g. The traffic generated by the proposed deveiopment would be mostly in the peak hours. It should be entering T.H. 55 or T.H, I10 at ane of the signalized intersections Chat wiit be provided rather than at an unsignalized intersection as is being proposed. IF peak hour traffic increased enough to require a signal at Ghe praposed tocation, eastbourtd traffic would be stopped c�n a i�ng steep grade. To summarize: There is adequate access to the area frorn T.H. I10, T.H. 55, I-494, and CSAH 3t. The adcfition of the at-grade .intersection at CSAH 31 would be a convenience for a relatively small number af vehicles during off peak hours. During peak haurs it would be hazardous and would be a diFFicult access to the highway. The only time that this intersection would be sa�e enough to use is when the traffic v�lume is s� low that it is no� needed, Sincerely, i��i�" s�i'�'�-_""'_ Kerrnit K. McRae, P.E.

At Tuesday's meeting, Parks Commission voted ta get on with this part of the ect, and asked that I obtaa.n a proposed contract from on-Ashman and submit it for your consideration at this :'s Coutncil meeting.

As you can see, Barton-Ashman is proposing preparation of a br chure at a cost {including printing), of up to $5,260, and a lide show at cost $2,300, for a total maximum of $7,560. Th 1987 Parks budget as adopted allocates $5r000 for pr mation and $5,000 for the special election. Since the twa fi ures together are adequate to cover the present cantract, we do nat need to reapprapriate from the Parks Fund balance at this time, but will need to later as casts for consultant as istance in community meetings, and special election casts be ame better known.
