PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
OCTOBER 107 2000
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held
on Tuesday, October 10, 2000, in the Large Conference Room at City Hall, 1101 Victoria
Curve. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m.
The following Commissioners were present: Commissioners Stan Linnell, Jay Liberacki,
Dave Libra, Lawrence Craighead, and Raymond Morris. Chair Richard Spicer and
Commissioner Ann Connelly were excused from the meeting. City Staff present were
Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander, Recreation Programmer Mary Hapka and
Administrative Assistant Patrick C. Hollister. Mr. Hollister took the minutes.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Mr. Kullander reviewed the projected revenue for the Special Parks Fund for the next five
years. Mr. Kullander reminded the Commission that they had previously set a policy to
try to avoid depleting the Special Parks Fund to below $300,000. Mr. Kullander provided
an itemized list of the anticipated sources of revenue for the Special Parks Fund for the
next five years, which he estimated would total $935,000, Mr. Kullander reviewed with
the Commission his proposed list of Special Parks Fund priority expenditures. Mr.
Kullander said that the first priority would be the replacement of outdated and unsafe
wooden playground equipment in eleven parks with modern plastic equipment. Mr.
Kullander suggested that the second priority be various warming house/ice rink
improvements for Marie Park, Wentworth Park, Friendly Hills Park, and Ivy Hills Park.
Or. Kullander suggested that the third priority could be the creation of a Natural
Resource Plan for the existing parks. Mr. Kullander said that this plan could assist the
City in combating exotic plant species in the parks.
Commissioner Liberacki said that Dakota County had recently undergone a similar study
for Lebanon Hills Regional Park and that the City may be able to adapt that plan to the
needs of Mendota Heights.
Commissioner Morris said that there may be federal matching grant money available next
year for state and local parks projects. Commissioner Morris said that he would look into
the availability of such grants.
The Commission discussed Mr. Kullander's proposed top priorities and other possible
items on the Capital Improvement Plan including the Valley Park Cross Country Ski
Trail, resurfacing of tennis courts, and a sand volleyball court at Mendakota Park. The
Commission then made preliminary revisions to the Capital Improvement Plan and
instructed Staff to return to the November meeting with these revisions for eventual
recommendation by the Commission and presentation to Council.
OTHER ITEMS
The Commission asked Mr. Kullander to work with Mr. Blum of the Parks Crew to
informally survey the condition of the ISD 197 fields in terms of safety, playability, and
maintenance. The Commission asked Mr. Kullander to report on their findings at the
November Parks Commission meeting.
The Commission continued approval of the September meeting minutes and discussion of
Friendly Hills traffic calming to their November meeting. The Commission also
requested that Staff provide a copy of the Parks section of the Comprehensive Plan for
the November meeting.

Memo
October 16, 2000
Memo to: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager
Subject: Upgrade of Play Equipment at Mendota Elementary School
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Today I received a phone call from Mr. Lenny Axelrod who was inquiring if
the City would be willing to help fund an upgrade of the play equipment at the
Mendota Telemetry School.
I informed Mr. Axelrod that the City had participated in the last upgrade of
the play equipment about eight years ago. At that time a parents group had been
conducting fundraisers for several years and approached the City requesting the
City to fund one third of the costs if the School District also funded one third. The
City's share was approximately $8,000.00, which came from the Special Park
Fund. The City Council also contributed funds towards equipment at the Friendly
Hills Middle School in 1998. Here again, a parents group was active in raising
funds from the School District, City, and local businesses for proposed Outdoor
Recreation Equipment they desired.
I recommended that Mr. Axelrod contact the Earl F. Anderson Company and
request a representative talk to the parents group and determine the extent of the
upgrades they wish to make to the existing equipment. I further told him that once
a plan and budget were determined he should approach the Parks and Recreation
Commission at that time. I also emphasized that City would be more receptive if
the School District was also providing matching funds towards the upgrades.
Action Required
No action is required. This memo is intended to provide background
information in the event a commissioner is personally contacted regarding the
proposed upgrade of the play equipment at the Mendota Elementary School.

SUBJECT: Traffic Calming -Decorah Lane
Discussion
Please see the attached memorandum from Interim City Administrator Jim Danielson to
the Planning Commission and the minutes from the September 26, 2000 meeting of the
Planning Commission. The Council intends to discuss this issue at their regular meeting
November 21, 2000. While this is primarily a traffic engineering and planning issue, the
Council felt that the Parks Commission might also wish to comment on the desirability of
traffic calming.
Action Required
The Parks and Recreation Commission may add any comments on this issue for C_ ouncil
consideration on November 21, 2000.

3. Add the followine si4zn:
4 an edge lines establishing a 12 foot wide driving lane. Painting edge lines
helps restrict cars to their lanes and causes them to drive slower (this
recommendation was already completed because Decorah Lane was beins
resurfaced and restriped this summer).
5. The Police will more closely monitor the traffic at the intersection and record
the speed for further analysis.
6. Other traffic calming considerations we felt were either in place or
inappropriate. I have attached the list of 25 considerations as determined by the
North Central Section - Institute of Transportation Engineers.
We drove throuoh the curve several times ourselves and parked in the lot and watched many
other cars drive the curve. We were convinced that there is not a serious safety problem. We
feel that if all of the above suQeestions are followed the Decorah/Ocala intersection is and will
continue to be a safe one
ACTION REOtiIRED:
Rzview the Decorah/Ocala intersection and make recommendations to the City Council
on traffic calming.

summer months. He stated that he originally agreed strongi% that
Council should defer to the city's professional staff when the signs
were approved. He feels the same today. The citv's staff is
recommending removal of the Decorah sian and the Police Chief is
concerned about safety because people are ignoring the signs. He
stated that he would support the recommendation to remove the
Decorah sign and Nfavor Nlertensotto's suggestion that limited
visibility signs be installed.
NIs. Janet Aunt 703 Decorah Lane, stated that residents on Decorah
Lane have been concerned about the safety on Decorah for a long
time. With Decorah running nest to the park and trails, traffic is in
close proximity to those activities. There are also children who use
Decorah, and speed is a big problem. The curve on Ocala makes it
very unsafe. People often exceed the speed limit on the curve;
creating a hazard for pedestrians. Four to five years ago_ there were
rivo accidents in front of her house in two weeks. She stated that she
lives across the street from the hockey rink. She felt -that the curve is
dangerous if people do not stop at Ocala and hopes that the people
who oppose the stop sign will join with the Decorah residents to
keep the park safe. Nis. Aune also read a statement from Mr. Bill
Burke in support of retaining the stop signs for safety.
NIr. Tim Baumgartner, 63� Ocala Lane, stated that the reason he
thinks the police department has not seen many children crossing the
intersection is because the children in the area are very young and
are accompanied by their parents. They will be growing up and
crossing on their own. There is no good wav to cross the street. He
snpponed keeping the stop signs for safety of tine children and stated
that there are several tall trees near the intersectionand someone
cannot see from Ocala until he is half way through the intersection.
He felt that the intersection would be unsafe at 20 miles per hour and
must people drive through it at 30. Traffic goes ven' fast through the
ntersection and there is no safe place to cross.

Cheyenne since the stop signs were installed. In the last three to five
years there have been accidents at the intersection of Cheyenne and
Apache. Many studies have been done, and people must realize that
traffic control manual was put together after much study and
thought. The City of Si. Paul initiated a program 20 years ago to
install stop signs every two blocks. That was done on residential
streets but not on collector streets. The city now has requests to
install four way stops because no one was stopping at intersections
that were signed. The situation on Decorah has been made worse by
the stop sign. A driver is supposed to stop at a stop sign but they do
not and that is making the situation worse. Children antici_nate that
people will stop for a stop sign.
Ylayor Mertensotto pointed out that the stop sign was installed for
safety purposes and for children crossing.
Nir. Maczko responded that he understanas the safety issue and also
understands this is an emotional issue, but a stop sign is not intended
to be a speed control device. Instilling in children that there is a stop
sign and people will stop is not safe. Children need to be taught how
to properly cross streets by looking and listening. In this case he did
not believe the stop signs will have a positive effect and may in fact
make it worse. The State of Nlinnesota says that streets cannot be
signed less than 30 mph except in a school zone. Speed studies have
been done in this area. People aren't really violating the speed limit;
but 30 mph is too fast. The state law requires that vehicles to Yield
to pedestrians whether a crosswalk is painted or not. Ifa crosswalk
is painted here, they should be painted all over to be consistent.
Nothing is a substitute for good enforcement. The stop sign w'as
conditionally installed to determine if it would work. Decorah at
Ocala is not a good place to cross. He suggested that installing a
blind intersection sign would be more appropriate.
Ma}or Merrensotto agreed that spied on Decorah from Dodd is the
p oblem. but the cii} cannoi policC it all the time. PCopie in I
neighborhood must be cautious as them drive. Council discussed
painting a crosswalk so that children could be given a sat`er place [o

The only other option is to allow parking on the curve to restrict
people and make them slow down. Something needs to be done on
Decorah. Tne street task force wanted it narrower.
anted
Krebsbach stated that the city constructed the street
as narrow as it could be.
Mr. Blake stated that there is a sop sign by the first corner and the
cars slow down, but tivithin two houses they are up to 40 mph.
Something needs to be done before someone gets killed. He
suggested a "slow curve" sign and enforcing the speed. He stated
that he drives Decorah at 20 mph and people ride his bumper and
pass him. Perhaps a flyer should be sent out to adjoining neighbors
to tell them the police are monitoring speeds and will enforce the
limit.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to take the
police chief s recommendation and also that the city closely monitor
the intersection over the nest five months and really invest some
time and resources to monitor and enforce the speed limit. She
further stated that something must be done to reduce speed. She felt
Council should look at what else can be done to signal to people that
they are coming into a residential neighborhood. She stated that she
would like the issue revisited in five months for speed, safety issues,
and what the city can do. She felt that the city could support moving
the trees from the property at the intersection. where the berm and
the evergreen reduce visibility. Council should also look at what can
be done to calm traffic.
Nlavor �fertensotto stated that the city should install appropriate
traffic signs within ]20 feet of the intersection mar.. a limited
visibility ahead. Also, there should be a pedestrian crossing to alert
drivers who are not from the neighborhood.

Councilmember Krebsbach stated that her support of the motion was
based on Council's directing the commissions to review and make a
recommendation on a plan to calm traffic, such a landscaping and
signage about enter ng a residential neighborhood at both ends of
Decorah because of the unique problems on Decorah.
tr. viaczko responded that he is a resident on Cheyenne and that
Cheyenne should be addressed also in terms of the impact.
Something done on Decorah would have an impact on Cheyenne.
Councilmember Huber stated that when Council directs staff to
review something and come back with a recommendation_ Council
takes some action. He does not recall that Council has committed to
spending any money in the past without knowing what staff
recommends. It has bejn this Council's history that when Council
recognizes there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Council
a ways looks at all of the issues and the pros and cons. He would
prefer to direct staff to work as appropriate; including the
commissions il need be, and to come back with a recommendation or
a series of options. He would rather direct staff to keep looking at
the issue rather than comminino Council to spending money.
Council is in the budget process now and if something is not set
aside, the issue cannot be addressed until next summer. Council
must be aware that whatever is done may impact city resources.
Mayor Merensono stated that the commissions and staff should
know that if something is going to be done by narrowing. etc., it is
not being done for beautification and they should come up with a
standard recommendation that can be employed universally in the
city.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the goal is to use other means
to slow traffic other than signage-
Councilmember Knbsbach mo%'ed to direct staff to �� ork with the
Pars and Recreation and Planning Commissions to come up with a
plan for calming the traffic at Ocala and Decorah as a 5rst priorit%
and that standard could also be applied to other a -pas in the cite

neighborhood did not provide their input to the City Council and that people are dive Ling
to other neighborhood streets to avoid the stop signs on Decorah Lane. The Council
reiterated that the matter would be reviewed in August-
DISCUSSIOti
The recommendation to place a 3-way stop at the intersection of Decorah Lane and Ocala
Lane was not done to reduce the speed of vehicles. Stop signs should be utilized to
control the flow of traffic, not the speed of traffic. The recommendation for the stop signs
was based upon a sight line restriction for drivers that are proceeding southbound on
Ocala. V
Throughout the course of the spring and summer months officers of the Mendota Heights
Police Department randomly monitored the traffic at this intersection utilizing both
marked and unmarked squad cars, while engaged in both stationary and moving patrol.
This took place at all hours of the day.
On twelve days, between May I" and July 17t', officers were asked to record their
observations. Of the 232 vehicles observed, 22 rolled through the eastbound or
westbound stop signs on Decorah Lane and five drove through without slowing. In 211,
17% of the vehicles recorded did not come to a complete stop at the stop signs
Officers have reported that when stopping motorists some have expressed their opinion
that the stop signs are not warranted. Officers report that it appears that most motorists
are not avoiding this intersection due to the stop signs but that clearly some are, as traffic
does appear to have increased on Cheyenne.
I have received several letters and telephone calls from residents stating that they believe
the stop signs should be removed. Most state their reason as simply, "They are not
needed... too many stop signs."

RE: STOP SIGNS
November 2,1999
Page No. 16
ovember 2. 1999
Councilmember Dwyer stated that he is familiar with this area, and
that the intersection gets quite a bit of use. He had several concerns
about the request. If a stop sign is installed, there is less than 2!10ths
of a mile where there is another stop sign. That would be chopping
up the road quite a bit. Because of that, he felt that people might
elect to avoid Decorah and star traveling on Cheyenne and up to the
four-way stop. He noted that 27 residents signed the petition,, and
asked Mr. Wittenberg how many people are opposed.
VIr. Wittenberg responded that ail of the immediate nzighbors are in
agreement that this is a concern. The intersection is across from the
park, and there are a lot of kids crossing to the park.
Councilmember Huber stated that as a matter of practice, a good
practice, Council tuns requests for traffic signs over to the Police
Chief for an assessment of the intersection and a recommendation.
He informed Mr. Wittenberg that requests for stop signs are taken
out of the political arena and are tuned over to the experts for a
recommendation.
Councilmember Schneeman stated that thz memo to Council was
prepared by Chief Johnson. She asked if he and other city staff
members recommended the three way stop.
titr. Wittenberg responded that Chief Johnson and Public Works
Director Danielson were in agreement that a threz way stop is
needed because of the sight lines.
Councilmember D�.�}'zr stated that he has a bad feeling about the
recommendation. He further stated that it does not seem logical to
have stop signs so close together. He noted that there is a city park
across the street and the city could install a street light.
ivtavor iv,lerensoao stateu that unless there is son:zd<i.ig to a zrt

RE: STOP SIGNS

Page No. 8
November 16. 1999
Councilmember Dwyer pointed out that there is a stop sign at Huber
and Decorah. If this request approved, there would be three stops in
less than one-third mile. From Huber to the proposed stop sign is
less than one -tenth mile. He felt that it would possible that people
will take Cheyenne rather than Decorah to avoid all of the stop signs.
He asked whether a compromise would be to replace the yield sign
with a stop sign on Ocala -
hie, Johnson responded that most people are stopping on Ocala
noW. and he would definitely change the yield sign to a stop sign.
Councilmen,
ber 1Crebsbach asked how far back tries are supposed to
be from a comer.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that there is a sight
distance triangle on comer lots and there are not supposed to be any
sight obstructions thirty feet from the comers.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if the city be interzsted in
participating in helping the home owner move the tree closer to the
house.
The property owner; przsent for the discussion. stated that there is
nowhere to move it to.
Public Works Director Danielson informed Council that hz has asked
NSP for a quote for a street light at the intersection but has not
rzceived a response yet.
vlayor Niertznso%o suggesred mzrking a pedestrian crossing in
addition to the street light and stop sign. He stated that going east on
Decorah, people will not expect a stop sign at the intersection.
\ors. tib'itrenberg stated that people turning from Ocala cannot see
until the% are ahead}' on Decorah.

lvlultiway STOP signs at Ocala Lane and Decorah Lane
Dear Chief Johnson,
We have had several conversations cpnceming the justification for the installation of d
bluitiway STOP signs at Ocala Lane and Decorah Lane. You have been courteous and candid
with me and I appreciate that. 1 have read your Memorandum (October 13, 1999) which you
addressed to the,Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator, It is my undersanding from our
conversations and your Memo that, other than for an occasional violator, you have not found a
speeding problem on Decorah. I also understand that there have been no recent motor vehicle
accidents on Decorah Lane. Again, from out conversations and your Memo, I understand the
only two reasons you feel that a muhiway STOP sign installation at this nterseaion could be
jusified is a possible sight -line problem and the proximity to Friendly Hills Park.
This leaves me with more questions than I have answers. So that I can fully understand your
reasons please be kind enough to provide me with any Traffic Engineering studies that were done.
Also, please include copies of your notes, measurements taken, and computations you made that
helped you decide that placing stop signs on Decorah Lane was warranted. In addition, how
many times, in the pas three years, have you sent one of your Police Officers to monitor an
alleged speeding problem on Decorah Lane at the request of VIr. Wirtznbero or ethe-s. I believe
you told me that you did speed studies twice last year. I also know that, from driving on Decorah
Lane, you had a `Speed Trailer' brought out and se up near the tennis cours. It is my
undersandin2 that these studies never showed a speeding problem.
I have lived n this area for the past fi een years and do not ever recall an accicem at Ocala Lane
and Decorah Lane. Has there ever been one at this location" Has there ever been an mjun to
anyone at this intersection'. Finally, how many trefc accidents or injuries has here been
anti here on Decorah Lane, between Huber Drive and Dodd Road in the past tr.: ears°
to
my
inquiry
will
be
vet}
much
appreciated.

project, please provide written answers to the following questions:
• In your Memo you sate that the City could get MSA funding for the light. Please e:cplain
how that would work. Is there an approval process or does the City jug makes a
recotrunendation and then some agency pays'
• an crossings are therein Mendota Heights and how many are lighted?
How many pzdesr
• Because the perceived benefit of in: this light will be for a few people, will those
peoole pay for the upkeep and maintenance of this light if it is instilled or will all of Mendota
Heigl u be e coeaed to pay out of general mainreaance funds'.
• city that this light will use year in and year out? bill it be the
Who «ill pay for the Blear
peoole in the inunediate area of the light or will we all pay?
• i here is a sated policy o`no srz tlights n V(ena°ta Heights. Doe n't this proposed light
conflict k th that policy?
• Is 'Mendota Heights planning on installing lights at all pedestrian crossings'
D:d anyone consider placing a pedestrian crossing one block up at the comer of Puebic Lane
and Dzcorai Lane near the hockey, rink where there are no perceived siTi ne problems and
there is enough ambient light that an additional light would not be necessary'

V[arch 21. 2000
Mayor N[ertensotto responded that Council received a petition for
the stop sign and it was discussed at two council meetings with no
opposition expressed. The petitioners for the sign were very
instrumental in getting something done. and it was not until after the
signs were installed that the city began receiving feedback. That is
why Council scheduled reconsideration for August 1. He informed
Nis. Baier that Council hopes that sufficient information sets out the
neighborhood about the August meeting so that Council can listen to
both sides. There will be press releases to notify the residents prior
to the meeting.
Councilmember Dwyer stated that he travels through the intersection
and will bring his experience to the Council table when the issue is
reconsidered. ' He pointed out that the sign has been defaced and
people are not honoring it.
Ntayor Nfertensotto stated that one of the concens of the first
petition was the number of children crossing Decorah to set to the
park. Council has asked the police department to monitor the
situation and see if this is a place where children really do cross.
The crosswalk has not yet been painted; and the proposed streetlight
has not been installed yet because of weather conditions. He stated
that those items can be delayed until after the August 1 discussion.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if the people w-no signed the
petition drive Decorah regularly.
Nls. Baler responded that they do. She stated that Decorah is a
collector street and people are diverting themseh'es to other routes in
the neighborhood since the sign was installed. «-hick is one of her
concerns.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked N1s. Baier if she has any idea how'
many people w'ho signed the petition did so because thec are
opposed to stop signs and street lights as a matter of principle.
